Chapter 285 Escape from Longtan
"Rebels?"
Sima Li's face changed, he jumped out of the upstairs window as soon as he jumped, and the official road at the entrance of the town was full of knives and guns, and the flags were fluttering, but it was under the banner of "Wucheng Hou" and "Sun...... This is the army of Sun Jian, who is too guarded by Changsha to take a closer look, there are about hundreds of troops who have come to this town, although the army is not strictly organized, but no matter how you look at it, it is a high-spirited victorious army, it seems that Dong Zhuo's army on the other side of the flooded pond has been defeated.

The people of the town helped the old and the young, and fled to the south, but Sun Jian's army had already killed them, and many innocent people at the entrance of the town were cut down by these red-eyed soldiers before they could even run - they had already begun to kill innocents indiscriminately.
It turned out that Sun Jian and most of his subordinates hated the Xiliang people, and the people of this department heard that most of the people in the town were Xiliang people, so they made up their minds to wash this place in blood. Anyway, Dong Zhuodu has already destroyed Luoyang, so what does Sun Jian's men have to do if they destroy one or two villages and towns? And it can be said that it is under the banner of sweeping away the barbarians in Xiliang.
This town is not without strong men to resist, but all they hold in their hands are some hoes and even sickles and other weapons, where is the opponent of the heavily armed Sun Jianjun? Soon, the young men who blocked the entrance of the town were cut down by Sun Jianjun, and the soldiers who entered the town were bloody and murderous to these people, regardless of age or age.
Although Sima Li is indifferent to mundane things, how can he watch such a scene? He couldn't help but shout angrily, drew his long sword and slew it, fighting with the group of soldiers who were killing indiscriminately.
Qili and Ah Chu watched by the window, and seeing Sima Li entering alone, Qili couldn't help but have a worried look in her eyes, but Bai Ji immediately said to the two of them: "You guys hurry up and go out to help Li'er." ”
If there is only Sima Li, no matter how good he is at fighting, it is impossible to retreat with his whole body, if Qili and Ah Chu also go to support, the situation will be different, the three of them can advance and retreat together, and the chance of saving their lives is greater.
"But, ma'am, ...... you?"
Although Ah Chu and Qili wanted to go out to help, they couldn't let go of Bai Ji.
"Don't worry about me, I still have Long Li by my side."
"The slave will do her best to protect Madame."
Long Li also assured that Ah Chu and Qi Li reluctantly agreed, and they also jumped out of the window, drew their weapons and entered the battle formation.
Then, Bai Ji asked Long Li to carry Ren Hong on her back, and the three of them escaped from the backyard of the inn, mingling with the fleeing villagers. However, this group of villagers was not lucky, as soon as they escaped from the south entrance of the town, a group of about 100 Sun Jian's troops came from the side, and these soldiers cut down when they saw people, completely ignoring the old and weak, women and children.
Bai Ji asked Long Li to carry Ren Hong on her back, she mixed in with the refugees, while shooting arrows, while diverting attention, Bai Ji's bow and arrows made these hundred or so people feel a lot of pressure, and they couldn't figure out whether there was a small group of Dong Zhuojun soldiers hidden among the refugees, which provided an opportunity for Long Li to escape with Ren Hong on her back.
Near the entrance of the town, Sun Jianjun's soldiers have slaughtered all the nearby households, although Sima Li, Qili, and A Chu are excellent in martial arts, but in the face of hundreds of soldiers, they have some advantages in the panic of the villagers fleeing in all directions at the beginning, but now most of the villagers are falling in a pool of blood, Sun Jianjun can line up to meet the enemy, and all of a sudden the three of them fell into a disadvantage, and soon they were a little weak.
Sima Li looked at the corpses of the people all over the ground sadly, but his impulse was not useless, and he still bought time for many villagers to flee: "Qili, Ah Chu, let's quickly break through and meet Shizun." ”
"Well, good!"
The three of them have been together for a long time, so they cooperate quite tacitly, the three long swords are waving whirring, these ordinary soldiers dare not rush up to death casually, they can only watch the three escape from their field of vision......
However, when Sima Li and the three of them arrived at the south entrance of the town, they were stunned: there were dozens of corpses lying here too, and it seemed that Sun Jianjun had already killed here.
"Oops!"
Sima Li's face changed drastically, and he hurriedly looked at the corpse on the ground...... Thankfully, there was no familiar face in it. It's just that, looking at the corpses of Sun Jianjun's soldiers who were obviously killed by Shizun with bows and arrows, his face was very solemn: In this way, could it be that Shizun has been caught up by that group of soldiers?
The three of them looked south in a panic, but along the way there were some soldiers of Sun Jian's army, they burned, killed and looted, and did all kinds of evil, looking at the miserable corpses all over the ground, the three of them were furious.
The time had reached dusk, and he was walking, but he saw two women covered in blood and dust hiding in the trees, it was Long Li and Ren Hong, Sima Li and the three of them hurriedly ran over: "Long Li? Hong'er? ”
saw Long Li's face gloomy, but Ren Hong was crying so much that her eyes were red and swollen.
"What's wrong? Did something happen? What about Madame? There was a hint of ominous haze in Ah Chu's heart, and she hurriedly asked.
"Madame...... Madame, she ......" Ren Hong said, crying silently.
"What the hell is going on?" Sima Li and Qili were also a little anxious, and they couldn't see Shizun, which means that she might have been arrested by Sun Jianjun, or ...... The worst-case scenario is to be killed.
Long Li lowered her head and said in annoyance, "Madam...... Just now, in order to divert the pursuers, she squeezed into the fleeing crowd, and then fired arrows at the pursuers...... Later, the more people ran away, the more they scattered...... We didn't see her. ”
"Madame is lost?"
Ah Chu was in a hurry, she held Long Li's shoulders with both hands and shook it.
"Yes...... It's me who damn it, I didn't protect Madame. ”
Long Li closed her eyes and said regretfully, this extremely strong girl, even if she was beaten all over her body by Jia that day, she didn't snort, but at this time she was excited, and her eyes were full of tears.
"Long Li! You said you would protect your lady! I'm relieved to hand over my wife to you...... But, but you! ”
Ah Chu roared excitedly, and her emotions became even more excited. Once, because of the loss of his wife, his wife fell into the hands of Princess Wannian, became a prostitute, and was ravaged for more than two months...... This haze has never been dispelled from Ah Chu's heart, and now, she has lost her wife again!
Long Li's face was red at this time, and the tears in her eyes rolled down her cheeks one by one...... She suddenly broke free of Ah Chu, and then pulled out the long sword from her waist: "It's me who didn't protect Madame, Madam is lost...... I deserve death for my sins, so I will pay for my sins with death! ”
Long Li put the long sword across his neck, and after saying this, he closed his eyes tightly, and was about to exert force in his hand, Sima Li immediately swung a sword and shot down the sword in Long Li's hand.
Long Li opened her crystal eyes and looked at Sima Li in a daze, Sima Li said calmly: "Shizun has been lost, even if you apologize for your sins with death, you won't be able to find Shizun." Now we are injured and lost, it is a critical juncture when there is an urgent shortage of manpower, you are good at martial arts, why rush to die? ”
Qili took Long Li's hand and persuaded: "I don't blame you for this, if I change it, it will be difficult to protect both Hong'er and Madame...... If it is indeed your fault, I will not stop you from committing suicide, but you have done your best in this matter, and you do not have to kill yourself. It is imperative that the lady be retrieved first, and then confess to her. ”
On the other side, Ren Hong picked up a handkerchief and wiped the tears on Ah Chu's cheeks: "Sister Ah Chu, the current lady is not as good as before, let's take yesterday as an example...... She sneaked into Luoyang alone, and she was able to rescue me from the hands of the rebels, which is not something that ordinary women can do, and I believe that Madame will be safe. ”
Ah Chu choked and nodded.
"Before the master and you were separated, did you say anything again? For example, did she say where you are safe to flee to? Sima Li asked Long Lidao.
"This ......" Long Li thought for a moment and replied: "Before, Madame seemed to say that if the flooded pond falls, we can only flee all the way to Chang'an, and she also said that Lord Xiangguo must have returned to Chang'an now." ”
After Sima Li heard this, he thought it was true: "Shizun is really far-sighted...... Looking at this situation, the flooded pond has indeed been occupied by Sun Jian's army, so the Hangu to the west of the flooded pond is definitely not safe, even if we flee there, I am afraid that we will have to prepare to flee again immediately...... Indeed, we can only return to Chang'an, in this case, the only place where we can meet with our master is Chang'an. ”
"Sima Gongzi, what do you mean...... Madame will definitely find a way to return to Chang'an? Qili asked.
"Yes." Sima Li said with certainty, "Shizun promised Dong Zhuo that he would serve him, so Shizun will definitely not break the appointment." So no matter what difficulties and obstacles there are on the way, she can overcome them......"
Even if she is only a weak girl now, as long as it is what Shizun wants to do, Sima Li believes that Shizun will be able to return to Chang'an safely.
"Then why don't we just find Madame on the way to Chang'an?" Ah Chu was puzzled.
"There are still more than 100 miles away from Chang'an, among which there are both official roads and various paths that we don't know...... Even you wouldn't be able to guess. If we look for it randomly, we will miss the best time to meet with our wife, so we should arrive in Chang'an first and then look for our wife. ”
Sima Li's analysis made everyone agree, and then everyone decided to avoid Sun Jianjun and took a small road to Chang'an.
******
Bai Ji mixed in the crowd and shot arrows to confuse Sun Jianjun, but Sun Jian's army numbered nearly 100 people, and soon cut off the way of this group of people, followed by a brutal massacre...... Bai Ji did not have the divine power to protect all the people, and at this time, the army was in chaos, and it was no longer suitable for archery, so she withdrew her bow and arrows, and used her agility to successfully escape from this chaos, and fled to the vicinity of the flooded pool.
But at this time, the flooded pond is also a sea of fire, there are deafening sounds of fighting inside and outside the city, Sun Jian's army has broken the city, and most of Dong Zhuojun's generals have retreated to Hangu, and those who stay here are the defeated troops who have not had time to escape, Sun Jian's army does not leave prisoners, and all the Liangzhou troops they get are killed, so they can only hold weapons and make a final fight to the death with the enemy in despair.
Bai Ji knew that at this time, she could only run all the way to Chang'an to avoid the chaotic army, and when she was about to find her way, she saw a carriage stopped, which was a carriage ridden by ordinary rich people in the flooded pond, and a woman inside beckoned to her: "Little girl, hurry up and get into the carriage!" ”
If you stay in this place, you may be surrounded by the nearby rebels at any time, and at that time, it will be difficult for you to escape no matter how fast you run, Bai Ji did not hesitate, she hurriedly ran over, the woman stretched out her hand, pulled her up, and then, the carriage galloped towards Chang'an......
