Chapter 6: Hunted and Killed

Tongli City, who was sitting on the high platform, said with a smile on his face: "It seems that we Lingchi County are going to produce another talent." I don't know when it was the last time there was a nine-stage genius. ”

The ministers sitting next to Tongli City echoed with flattery on their faces: "Congratulations to Lord County Guard." ”

In the square

"It's over, let's wait aside," Hong Yi said.

"Yes" Gao Hang, who was already sweating profusely, hurriedly withdrew his hand and walked towards the waiting area.

Next, as the names are shouted one by one, but there are only one or two people who have lit up the five sections of the Yuan Pillar so far, and most of the rest are between two and three sections, and the largest part is that there is no fluctuation of Yuan Li, and the children around Wang Tuo have decreased one by one, starting from sunrise, now the sun is hanging high overhead, and the crowd of onlookers is less than half, and the waiting line of more than two hundred people is now less than thirty.

"Wang Tuo!"

"It's finally my turn," Wang Tuo said subconsciously.

"Teacher" Wang Tuo walked to the test yuan pillar, and then saluted Hong Yi on the side.

"Well, take it easy, put the handprint on the pillar" Hong Yi, who had already presided over the trial yuan conference in the morning, was already impatient to the extreme.

"Yes," Wang Tuo then put his handprint on the test pillar.

"Boom" with a loud bang once again attracted the attention of all the people in the audience who had been consumed by time.

The light on the test pillar climbed until it climbed, one, two, three, four, five, six, the people around who were sitting on the ground to rest all stood up, seven, eight, nine, Tonglicheng on the high platform swallowed his saliva hard, and his eyes stared straight at Wang Tuo in the square, ten!

The audience instantly resounded with deafening cheers, and when everyone was paying attention to Wang Tuo in the field, no one noticed Hong Yi's eyes, he looked back at Gao Hang, and waved his hand to reassure him.

"I've been living in Lingchi County for more than 70 years, and it's the first time I've lit up all the test pillars," said an old man in a sixtieth year.

"Wow, isn't he the first person in the history of Lingchi County?"

"Isn't he the young master of the palace, he really has a father and a son?"

The crowd around was talking, Wang Tuo withdrew his hand, and was about to walk to the waiting area.

"Slow down!" Hong Yi suddenly stopped Wang Tuo.

After hearing this, Wang Tuo turned around and asked, "Teacher, may I ask why I stopped him?"

"Everyone here, I don't need to say that everyone knows how difficult it is to light up the test Yuan Pillar above the ninth section, let alone the tenth paragraph! I, Hong Yi, was sent by the academy to Lingchi County to preside over the original intention to be fair and just, and now there is a genius boy who lights up the tenth paragraph, I must check it, otherwise I will be found to be tired when I return to the academy, and it will be difficult for me to make a difference when the time comes" Hong Yi deliberately amplified his voice, making him appear to be above board.

Wang Tuo already knew in his heart at this time that Hong Yi deliberately came to trouble him.

"Inspection, I have to be inspected in the tenth section, why doesn't Gao Hang need to check when he lights up the ninth section," Wang Tuo shouted at this time.

"That's right, why don't you have to check when you're nine paragraphs, but you have to check when you're ten paragraphs, it's not fair?"

"Yes, yes"

"Is it deliberately targeting Wang Tuo?"

"I heard that Gao Hang is his nephew."

The surrounding crowd also began to discuss, and at this time, the corners of Hong Yi's mouth twitched and thought, the kid is quite ghostly, I can't cure you anymore.

"Okay, then let Gao Hang come up and be examined with you," Hong Yi said.

Then on the square, Wang Tuo and Gao Hang stood side by side.

"Then I'll start checking Gao Hang first," Hong Yi finished speaking, and then began to check Gao Hang, and his movements were extremely meticulous.

"Gao Hang, I have finished the inspection, there is no suspicion of cheating, Wang Tuo has come to you," Hong Yi said.

"Okay, come on" Wang Tuo stretched out his hands and let Hong Yi check it.

When Hong Yi reached into Wang Tuo's sleeve to check, "Huh~" and then slowly pulled it out, and there was a talisman on his finger.

"If I'm not mistaken, this talisman is your cheating," he said, spreading out the talisman and observing it carefully.

"This is a primary-grade Yuan Force Talisman, which can increase Yuan Force in a short time," Hong Yi said in a positive voice.

"Wang Tuo, you can plead guilty!" Hong Yi asked.

"This talisman is not mine, why should I confess," Wang Tuo retorted.

"Heh, if this talisman is not yours, why did you find it on you?" Hong Yi said.

Gao Hang, who was standing aside at this time, finally understood his uncle's intentions, and with a flash of inspiration, he shouted loudly: "I know! Wang Tuo's family used to be in the talisman business, and his mother was a talisman master, this talisman, this talisman must have been given to him by his mother!"

The surrounding crowd was in an uproar for a while.

"I think nine times out of ten, that's the case, or it's not so coincidental."

"That's it, light up the ten paragraphs, I haven't had it for decades, why is this kid"

"Hahaha, the so-called crime of wanting to add is no excuse, no matter what, the academy has a teacher like you, I don't want to go" Wang Tuo, who realized the situation and the irreversible, simply gave up the opportunity to enter the academy.

"Bold! You hairy boy, are you saying that I framed you? You think you can just give up entering the academy? How can it be so cheap, cheating at the trial meeting is a felony!"

"It's you! frame me! I didn't cheat," he hissed.

He was then pressed into his cell by two heavily armored guards.

"Mother, Xipi" Wang Tuo, who was extremely depressed in his heart, kicked at the iron window of the dungeon, and the stable window did not move at all, and even a loud sound was not made.

Wang Tuo, who was lying on the straw in the corner of the prison, was more anxious in his heart, the opportunity to enter the academy was gone, and he had to be locked up in this prison, and he didn't know when he would be able to get out, which made Wang Tuo, who wanted to become stronger all the time, have mixed feelings in his heart.

In the middle of the night, a needle drop could be heard in the dungeon, and suddenly the cell door opened.

"Who" Wang Tuo said alertly.

"It's me" is the voice of Tongli City, its voice is highly recognizable, magnetic and deep.

Tong Licheng approached, squatted down and lowered his voice to Wang Tuo, "Hong Yi will report this matter to the academy, you may have no hope of entering the academy for the rest of your life, plus cheating at the conference, and insulting the teacher who presided over the conference, these two points alone, you may have to take it in this dungeon for two or three years."

"No! I can't wait!" Hearing that he would be imprisoned in the dungeon for two or three years, Wang Tuo slammed his fist on the ground.

Tongli Cheng said: "This is the purpose of my coming here tonight"

"I've stunned the guards of the dungeon, but it won't be long, half a pillar of incense," Tong Licheng said and stood up.

"What if I escape, I'll become a wanted criminal," Wang Tuo asked suspiciously.

"Don't you want to be a boxer? I have already explained to the guards at the north gate, walk in the northwest direction, and after two months of riding, you can reach Wucheng, as for whether you will be a wanted criminal, I can still say this little thing" Tonglicheng said before leaving.

"Why are you helping me?" asked Wang Tuo.

"I promised your parents to take care of you, and after this time, I won't owe you anymore," said Tongli City, which disappeared into darkness.

At this time, the county guard was in the house.

Tongli City was chatting with Hong Yi in the atrium.

"My nephew, I bothered Mr. Hong Yi to take care of him," Tongli Cheng said.

"Little things, small things, doesn't the business of the family in Lingchi County also rely on the care of the county keeper for so many years, hahaha" Hong Yi replied

At this moment, the guards outside the door trotted all the way to the middle hall, "Report to the county guard, Wang Tuo escaped from the prison"

"What!" Tongli Cheng's face changed greatly when he heard this.

"When to flee, direction," Tongli Cheng asked.

"Before the half-pillar incense, flee to the north gate" After hearing the news, Tongli City, the corners of his eyes were light, and the corners of his mouth hooked up an arc that was difficult for others to detect.

"Then what are you waiting for, go and arrest the fugitive, life or death!" ordered Tongli Cheng.

"Yes!" the guard exited.

"Let Teacher Hong Yi smile," Tonglicheng said to Hong Yi.

"Where, where, it is through what happened just now that we can see the wisdom and decisiveness of the adults when they make decisions," Hong Yi said.

Outside the city at this time

Wang Tuo led the horses, looked at Lingchi County, where he grew up, sighed lightly, and then turned around to rush to the northwest, at this moment, the sound of horses' hooves of "tap and tap and tap" came from the city, and a team of cavalry rushed to the city gate.

The leader asked, "Lord Feng County Shou ordered to arrest the fugitive Wang Tuo, what direction did you see the twelve-year-old child leaving the city just now?"

Wang Tuo thought to himself, how could it be so fast, and now it is estimated that it is only the time when it is half a pillar of incense, and then he gets on the horse, and then there is a horsewhip.

Wang Tuo galloped all the way, but after a while, the cavalry followed.

"He's in front" With a loud shout, the cavalry appeared behind Wang Tuo, after all, the endurance and speed of the army's spare horses are far beyond the reach of civilian horses

"Whoosh" an arrow feather passed by Wang Tuo's ear, and then Wang Tuo pulled the reins in his hand, dodged the subsequent arrow feathers, and went towards the forest not far away, Wang Tuo looked at the woods in front of him, and knew in his heart that entering the forest and using the towering trees to block the only moonlight left in the dark night was Wang Tuo's only chance to live.

Wang Tuo tugged on the reins back and forth, constantly repeating the S-shaped route to avoid the arrow feathers, of course, this method made Wang Tuo and the pursuers get closer and closer.

Seeing that he was about to be caught up by the cavalry, Wang Tuo pulled the reins again, and the cavalry behind him pulled a few positions again, into the forest, the darkness of the forest gradually submerged Wang Tuo's figure, even if it was the forest that could not see the five fingers, the cavalry could still listen to the sound of horses' hooves, tracking Wang Tuo, and then Wang Tuo abandoned the horse and crossed into the jungle, and the cavalry general behind him shouted the order, "The fugitive has abandoned the horse, he can't escape far, listen to my instructions, light the torch, ride five meters, spread out the word, search for me!" The general has an order, just take him back, life or death"

At this time, Wang Tuo, who was squatting on the tree, panting, looked at the torches not far away, like a fire net, rushing towards him, the speed was not fast, but it did not leak, Wang Tuo had to continue to rush towards the forest behind him.

"Report, Discover a Fresh Footprint"

"Close!" With an order, the fire net suddenly converged.

Wang Tuo's heart trembled, and he watched the cavalry on both sides gradually converge into a U-shape from a straight line, and the middle of this U-shape was where Wang Tuo was standing at this time.

Thinking of this, Wang Tuo jumped onto a relatively thick tree, looked at the soldiers not far away, holding the branch that was casually broken down on the road in one hand, and the tip of the branch that he picked up casually in the other hand, and rubbed the tip of the branch repeatedly.
