Chapter 161: Escape

Shu Yanhua asked while riding a horse, "What's the matter?" ”

Zhou Tingyu's face was unusually serious, "There is something wrong with this General Liu!" He should have noticed Xu Song and them, and waited until Xu Song and them left before moving, and the direction he took us was not Yinping County, but Xiping County, which was the direction of Longyou Road.

Shu Yanhua's expression also became serious, Longyou Dao, that is the opposite direction to Shangjing, and her brother's staff, Mr. Xixi in the family, Yang Jincheng, is Longyou Dao.

"Do you know the way?" Shu Yanhua asked curiously.

Zhou Tingyu did not avoid her, and said directly: "My father's imperial study has a map of the entire territory of Great Xia, which is very fine, I remember it all in my mind, after leaving Yiling County, there are three roads, one is to go east to Yinping County, one is to go west to Longyou Road, and one is to go north to the frontier. ”

As soon as she said this, Shu Yanhua immediately understood, "What is General Liu taking us to the west?" ”

"He probably thinks that I don't know the way, that we have already drifted a little west, and if we continue to go down, we will stay away from Shangjing." Zhou Tingyu nodded.

The map was so detailed that even the roads between the cities were depicted, and at first, he thought it was strange, but after walking for a long time, he finally determined that it was in the wrong direction.

General Liu, who had always said that he would escort them back to Shangjing, could find a place to stay at dusk every day, and the veteran who could pinch the itinerary on time every day would actually lead him astray.

If something goes wrong, there must be a demon!

Zhou Tingyu couldn't gamble, he didn't dare to gamble, so he seized the opportunity to let Shu Yanhua be drugged.

Shu Yanhua's medicine is not poison, it is also a medicine that makes people weak and weak, this medicine is not poison, there is no antidote to it, as long as you rest for a day, you will be fine.

Zhou Tingyu is also afraid that if he guesses wrong and wrongs a good person, after all, he is an official of the imperial court, or a pure minister loyal to his father, if he lives the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, he will apologize to General Liu.

Therefore, the drugs under the order are some drugs that are commonly used in the lower third-rate. At that time, when the leader gave Shu Yanhua this medicine, Zhou Tingyu still felt that the leader was a little fussed, but now he only feels that the leader is really prescient.

"We now have two roads, one is to ride a fast horse, go back to the original road, and return to Shangjing from Yinping County; One is to go down this road, go around again, and go back to Beijing. Zhou Tingyu asked Shu Yanhua's opinion.

Shu Yanhua immediately continued: "Do you want to gamble and see which way General Liu will speculate on which way we go?" ”

Zhou Tingyu bowed his head, and the two rode side by side on the horse, the wind was a little strong, and he had to pull his throat when he spoke, and he didn't dare to stop, for fear that General Liu's people would catch up behind him.

At this moment, the two of them reined in their horses and looked up at the sky.

In the cloudless sky, a cyan flare erupted in the air.

Zhou Tingyu's expression became more and more cold, "Signal flare!" It seems that General Liu is really uneasy and kind. ”

At such a moment, there is nothing else to think about who will launch signal flares except Liu Guangye.

"Let's go first, talking as we go." Time waits for no one, and now they want to get as far away from Liu Guang as possible.

"What now?" Shu Yanhua's face was also extremely solemn, which of the two roads in front of them should she choose?

"He watched us ride this way, and the direction here was to the west. If he really wanted to plot against us, he should have seen me, or somewhere to find out the news, he knew that we would definitely go back to Shangjing.

So hesitant to track us down. There is a fork in the road ahead, go to the left, it is a detour back to Shangjing, go to the right, it is to continue to the west, and then we need to go around a big circle to return to Shangjing. Zhou Tingyu explained to Shu Yanhua.

Shu Yanhua could already see the fork in the road, and after only a dozen breaths, she came to the fork in front of the fork, and the two of them rode their horses together to stop.

Shu Yanhua didn't know the way, so she could only let Zhou Tingyu make a decision, "What do you say, I'll follow your footsteps." ”

Anyway, they are now grasshoppers tied together, one is good, the two are good together, and the other is bad, the two are unlucky together.

Zhou Tingyu looked at Shu Yanhua's trusting eyes and took a deep breath, "Let's go to the left, Rao Lu back to the capital, you and I will ride a horse together, and then let the other horse go to the right, at least stop General Liu's footsteps." ”

"Okay." Time is urgent, Shu Yanhua is not so brainless, she must abide by the rules, and now I don't know how Liu Guang wants to deal with them, life is much more important than the rules.

Zhou Tingyu dismounted, picked up a stone from the ground, and then stepped behind Shu Yanhua, wrapped his hand around Shu Yanhua's waist, took the reins from in front of her, and then flicked the stone with his right hand, Zhou Tingyu sat down The horse neighed in pain, and as soon as the horse's hooves were raised, he galloped towards the road on the right.

Zhou Tingyu didn't dare to stick a dagger into the horse's buttocks, for fear that it would leave blood stains so that Liu Guang could see their tricks at a glance.

Zhou Tingyu saw that the horse had run away, so he also gently pinched the horse's belly and walked away.

Less than two hours after Zhou Tingyu and the others left, a group of people riding horses appeared at the fork in the road, led by Liu Guangye, but Liu Guangye was half-supported on the horse.

"General, this is a fork in the road." There was a strong man in regular clothes.

"Go and investigate the traces, you must not let go of these thieves who dare to do something to me." Liu Guang also said indifferently.

"Yes." The strong man and a few others dismounted and carefully examined the tracks.

After a cup of tea, the strong man and the others came back to report: "General, there are horseshoe prints on both roads, and the seals are very new, they should have just been left, and there is only one horse's mark on each road." ”

Liu Guang also frowned and pondered for a moment, he and the other soldiers who escorted Zhou Tingyu and the others back to Beijing will not be able to regain their strength until tomorrow, and the only ones he has to use now are the soldiers he arranged in the secret for emergencies, and these people are only twelve.

Liu Guang also looked at the sky and said, "The five of you, chase from the left, the five of you chase from the right, leaving one to take care of the other brothers, and the remaining one will take me to follow the road on the left." If any of you spot the two thieves, send a signal at once. ”

"Yes, Honorable General's Order!" The strong man and the others agreed, stepped on the horse one after another, assigned good people, and were about to track down, when they heard Liu Guang also stop them again.

"These two thieves not only swaggered and deceived, but also pretended to be the young master of the Ningguo Mansion, and now when they see the people from the Ningguo Mansion coming, they know that they can't be deceived, so they drug the general, which is really an unforgivable crime. And they still have sharp weapons on them, if any of you find them first, when they are captured, if they resist stubbornly, you are allowed to use bows and arrows, and if there is any problem, this general will bear it! ”

Liu Guangye's voice carried an undoubted momentum, and all the soldiers were shocked in their hearts when they heard it, and they bowed down to promise.

A dozen men rode their horses towards the two paths. (To be continued.) )
