For the sake of Xue Donglin's reputation, the Xue family will either investigate it deeply, or they will suppress this matter. Pen %Fun %Pavilion www.biquge.info Now that the south is so chaotic, it is difficult to delve into it, and in the end this matter can only be suppressed.

Now the biggest problem is how to let Xue Donglin die on the road, originally with Xue Donglin's character, he will definitely stay until the last moment, when the time comes, he will not be swept away by the flood, or he will be assassinated by the people they sent. When the flood waters recede, who knows who.

It's a pity that when the killer they bought off arrived at the place, Xue Donglin had already evacuated.

The four killers inquired and chased after Jingzhou.

Huan Ji and the others' carriage was stuck on the road, and Huan Ji looked at the dense crowd in front and behind and said: "Everyone follow the flow of people to Jingzhou, you two guards protect an adult, if you get separated, we will meet in Jingzhou City." Everyone carries some dry food and water, remember to be careful when eating, so that no one can see it, especially you. Huan Ji said and looked at Xue Donglin.

Xue Donglin was suddenly embarrassed, he was not a child, a person in his forties was actually preached by a junior in his twenties.

Huan Ji continued: "I know that Lord Xue loves the people like a son, but only if you live can you better benefit the people. ”

Xue Donglin nodded with a flushed face and said, "Xiaguan understands what the adults mean. ”

Mrs. Xue was surprised in her heart, and looked at the lady in front of her twice, if it were in the past, her husband would definitely argue that the people are the foundation, but today he responded.

The guards went about their duties and followed the people they wanted to protect, and Huan Ji carried a bow and arrow and a short knife on her back, and she handed a Turkic dagger on her body to Madame Xue, "I will borrow you for self-defense." ”

Huan Ji and Xue Donglin walked together, and she instructed as she walked: "If the lord and the lady are separated, remember not to look back, you are all followed by guards, and they will definitely protect you to Jingzhou." ”

Mrs. Xue glanced at her husband and nodded in response.

They walked for a day, and when it was dark, Lord Xue and his wife were already tired, and they were too tired during this time.

Huan Ji said, "Let's go and rest under the tree over there for a while." ”

Lord Xue agrees very much, and does not disgrace the female imperial history appointed by His Majesty, and a woman's physical strength is better than his.

The several officials who followed Huan Ji were very grateful to Princess Huan Ji for torturing them on weekdays, otherwise they would not have such good physical strength to escape.

There were also a few adults among them who were separated, but fortunately there were guards with them, so there was no need to worry, and there was no need to go out of their way to look for them.

Huan Ji turned around and stared at the tree, secretly stuffing some dry food into her mouth.

Seeing this, Mrs. Xue also secretly ate some, Lord Xue felt that this was not a gentleman's doing, but when he saw the eyes of the female imperial history looking at him, he didn't speak, leaned sideways against the tree, and secretly ate some.

Xue Donglin said in his heart: "A little girl with a small grade, he looks at it with a chill, no wonder his cousins who are out of tune tell him not to offend this person." ”

In the middle of the night, there was a commotion from the people.

Huan Ji opened his eyes and looked, there were one hundred and ten officers and soldiers with torches in front of him, it was obvious that this was a government soldier, not a Tang army.

The men yelled at the refugees to get out of the way and held torches in their faces.

Xue Donglin looked at the group of people, and Xue Fu said anxiously: "They are the Lang family, what should we do?" ”

Seeing this, Huan Ji said: "Lord Xue, do the three of you know each other, if you have an enmity, it is best to cover your face with mud, and it is not appropriate to rush head-on at this time." ”

Xue Donglin was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly grabbed the mud on the ground and smeared it on his face and body, and helped Mrs. Xue to smear it from time to time.

Xue Donglin said: "They are here to find me, and when we go separately later, my wife will trouble everyone." ”

After hearing this, Mrs. Xue said with tears in her eyes: "Master, I want to be with you." ”

Huan Ji couldn't stand this, and hurriedly said: "Lord Xue is right, you and Mrs. Xue will be with you later, and Lord Xue will walk with me." ”

Mrs. Xue had no objection, it was definitely safer to be able to follow Lord Yushi than to follow her.

Xue Donglin refused: "Lord Yushi has already helped the people of Qizhou a lot, and the lower officials can't be involved in Lord Yushi." ”

Huan Ji glared at him, "That's it, listen, if they find you, run up the hill over there, and I'll follow you." As for the rest of you following the people, the two of you follow us, in case I and Lord Xue get separated, will you all follow Lord Xue to know? ”

The guard shouted, "Yes." ”

Then no matter what Xue Donglin said, no one paid attention to him.

Huan Ji was bored with hearing this and asked, "Xue Dong Weixin, didn't you mention me at all?" ”

Xue Donglin thought about the letter written by his cousin and stopped.

They followed the refugees very slowly, and the assassin did not return for a long time, and the Lang family was very anxious, so they sent soldiers out to look for them.

Sensing the aura of danger, Huan Ji said, "Spread out." ”

Then the guards of Qingzhou, with Mrs. Xue and Xue Fu, disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.

The two Qingzhou guards behind Huan Ji set up Xue Donglin, and followed Huan Ji and disappeared into the crowd in a blink of an eye.

A moment later, just where they separated, four people appeared, and it was the four killers who were looking for Xue Donglin all the way.

Huan Ji opened the way and led the three of them into the grove on the side.

Huan Ji said: "Let's go from the forest, although it may be a little slower, but at least it will not affect the people. Wait for Lord Xue to stand on a high place and show his face, and lead those people into the forest. ”

Xue Donglin looked like he was dying, walked on a high ground on the edge of the forest, and left in a blink of an eye.

Although it was very fast, it was still seen by the soldiers and assassins who found it.

When Xue Donglin went down the hill, he saw the person chasing after him, and his legs and stomach suddenly became a little weak, but he forcibly followed the guards and left.

The two guards didn't have the slightest pressure, although there were only four of them, and they had never seen Princess Huanji's combat effectiveness, but Princess Huanji's powerful Qingzhou soldiers knew it.

Princess Huanji doesn't need their protection at all, and will help them protect Lord Xue, they are three people and one person.

Huan Ji glanced at the quiver she was carrying, this was a special quiver, and one pack could hold fifty arrows. There were about a hundred people chasing them, and the four murderous ones should be killers.

Huan Ji took them to run in the forest for a quarter of an hour, Xue Donglin was already tired and stupid, and two guards dragged him away.

Huan Ji saw that Xue Donglin really couldn't run, and said: "You two take him from this path, don't go out of the forest, hide at the edge of the forest and wait for me, I'll go to you later." (To be continued.) )
