Zhou Tingyu and the two rode horses and galloped wildly for an afternoon before they found a small town.

The town is not big, the two first found Buzhuang, bought a few simple ready-to-wear clothes, changed out of the fine and luxurious clothes on their bodies, found an inn, claimed to be brothers and sisters, opened a room, let Xiao Er send all the meals to the room, and let Xiao Er feed the horses well.

When the food was delivered, Zhou Tingyu probed all the meals with a silver needle, and saw that there was nothing unusual, so the two of them had to eat.

Now there are only two of them, and everything has to be done with care.

At night, the two sat on chairs and discussed the next trip.

Shu Yanhua looked at the dark night outside, a little worried, "Do you think they will chase us overnight?" ”

Zhou Tingyu was also unsure in his heart, "General Liu is a military general, and night marches are still commonplace for them. Moreover, this is the reason why they have been marching at night before. ”

If it was day and night, they would have arrived in Baoding County by now, and when they arrived in Baoding County, it would be a day's journey from Shangjing, which would be like now, and it would take more than ten days to return to Shangjing.

"General Liu, what do you want to do?"

Shu Yanhua sighed, her uneasiness became a fact, but she couldn't understand why General Liu would attack them, obviously Zhou Tingyu said, this is a neutral party.

"No matter what he wants to do, the most important thing for us now is to return to Shangjing as soon as possible."

Zhou Tingyu is not a member of the Criminal Department, he doesn't need to solve the case, he only knows that as long as he returns to Shangjing and sees his father, what General Liu thinks, everything will be revealed.

"As soon as we dawn tomorrow morning, we will rush to the next city and county, Yichang, is there a shop of the Yan family in Yichang County?" Zhou Tingyu asked.

Shu Yanhua bowed, "The Yan family's shop has it in every city and county, but I don't know where the shop in Yichang County is, and when I get to Yichang County, I have to look for it." ”

"Okay, then rest early, you sleep on the bed, and I'll sleep on the couch." It was late at night, and Zhou Tingyu asked Shu Yanhua to rest early.

The next day, when the sky was slightly bright, Zhou Tingyu and the others got up, had breakfast, checked out, bought a bag of meat buns at the bun stall outside, and hurried out of the city gate.

Less than an hour after the two left, two men in the inn where they stayed found the shopkeeper and asked one or two.

"Shopkeeper, have you ever seen a little boy and a little girl yesterday, only about twelve or thirteen years old, very handsome, and riding a horse?"

The man described Zhou Tingyu's size and appearance a few points.

The shopkeeper looked at these men vigilantly, the town is full of people who have lived here for generations, and yesterday there were two young masters and young ladies who came to stay, which has already attracted everyone's attention, although it is strange why these two children will go out by themselves, but the shopkeeper will not ask more when he opens the door to do business.

Today, when he saw someone coming to inquire about the whereabouts of the two of them, the shopkeeper became vigilant, these people were burly and strong, with bronzed skin, and a cold and hard temperament, and the shopkeeper felt that they were more majestic than the officers and soldiers patrolling in their town.

"Who are you?" The shopkeeper asked suspiciously.

The man replied: "We are the servants of the Zhao family in Yiling County, the young master of our family, because he was dissatisfied with the marriage that the family engaged to him, he eloped with his good friend, our master is not at ease, let us come out and find the young master as soon as possible." ”

The shopkeeper had some sudden realizations in his heart, and he said why the little boy and the little girl came out alone yesterday, and it turned out that they were eloping, but the shopkeeper still didn't believe it in his heart.

"You said that you are the servants of the Zhao family, but the little boy said that his surname is Xia." The shopkeeper felt uneasy, so he still asked more, but he didn't want to expose the whereabouts of Zhou Tingyu and the others.

A flash of light flashed in the man's eyes, "Shopkeeper, if you run away from home, will you use your real name directly?" The young master of our family is good at everything, he is handsome, he reads a lot, and he can hunt on horseback, and the old lady of the family is in pain, if he is not dizzy by a fox spirit, how can he do this kind of elopement? The young master of our family is smart, and he will not use his family name to expose himself. ”

The shopkeeper was said like this, and felt that this man was reasonable, plus the man could tell the details of Zhou Tingyu and the others, even they knew that they were riding together, and there was no doubt about the man's words, and the 1510 told the situation.

"Yesterday evening, the little boy brought a little girl to complain, and the two of them behaved intimately and lived in the same room rate, but they said that they were brother and sister. It was slightly bright this morning, and I left after breakfast. ”

The shopkeeper said slightly, and then sighed: "Go and chase your young master back, it seems that he should have suffered a lot, and the clothes on his body are quite simple, but his bearing is extraordinary, at first glance, he is from a big family, I said, how can a person with such a temperament not come out of a small family." ”

The man politely arched his hand to the shopkeeper and thanked him: "Thank you for telling the shopkeeper, our old lady is already anxious, and I am afraid that if the young master meets a bad person on the road, he will be punished." Since we have found the whereabouts of the young master, we also have to look for him, the shopkeeper, this is a little reward, let's leave first. ”

The man put a certain amount of five taels of silver on the counter, turned around and took the lead and went out, so that the shopkeeper wanted to catch up with him and give back the silver, but he couldn't catch up with him.

"Let's go, find their whereabouts, you go and inform the general." The man walked out of the inn, turned over on his horse, and said to another person beside him.

The other nodded, and turned to ride back and forth as Lu Fei galloped away.

"Let's go too!" The man clamped the horse's belly and rode the horse away, and in the tower of the horse under their crotch, there was a long bulging bag.

Zhou Tingyu and the others have never been so tired, both of them can ride horses, but hunting on horseback and fleeing on horseback are two different things.

Since yesterday afternoon, they have only cared about running for their lives, the horses are running fast, Shu Yanhua's thighs have been worn out, and there is a faint pain, today she sat behind Zhou Tingyu, holding his waist with both hands, and the up and down bumps caused by the rapid running also made her stomach ache.

At noon, the two stopped to eat steamed buns on the side of the road, and ran the horse for most of the day, both of them had very poor appetites, especially Zhou Tingyu, who was going to drive the horse, to identify the direction, to control the horse, and to be careful not to let Shu Yanhua fall off the horse, the whole person was already a little depressed.

Fortunately, I had a night's rest last night, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to run for so long today.

However, just as the two of them finished drinking water and were about to get on the horse, there was a sound of "da-da-da" in the distance.

The faces of the two changed at the same time, and they immediately accelerated their movements, Zhou Tingyu stepped on the horse and gave Shu Yanhua a hand, and when Shu Yanhua sat down, Zhou Tingyu immediately took the horse.

A high-pitched cry came from behind him, "You two thieves, stop!" ”
