Chapter 217 Fleeing Zhongshan at night, a mysterious person appeared
The time passed quickly, and the night slowly came, and the whole Zhongshan City fell into silence, except for the occasional patrol soldier passing by in the streets, there was no one to be seen.
But at this moment, several figures suddenly came out of the gate of Zhen's mansion, and after a little observation left and right, they walked quickly in the direction of the city gate.
"Little sister, can we really escape from Jizhou on foot like this?" Zhen Yao whispered to Zhen Mi beside him while observing left and right.
"Second brother, didn't I say it, first of all, the movement of the horses and carriages is too big, and second brother, are you sure that with Yuan Shao's temperament, there will be no spies in the mansion?" Zhen Mi stepped forward quickly and whispered, because she wanted to flee for her life, all the women present were wearing simple men's clothes, even Zhen Mi was no exception.
"But if we go out of the city like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to go far!" Zhen Yao sighed and said, he couldn't help but feel a little desperate in his heart, after all, he and the others were all pampered children of a family, and his physical strength might not even be as good as Zhen Mi's, so he still had to sacrifice when necessary.....
"Okay, second brother, don't say much, presumably the person who sent the letter will also know our situation! I'll talk about it all when I get out! Zhen Yan looked at the quiet streets around him vigilantly, and said to Zhen Yao behind him.
After Zhen Yao heard this, he couldn't help gritting his teeth, and followed quickly without saying a word, after all, everything he said now was false, and only by escaping his own family could he have a glimmer of life.
Soon several people came to the city gate, and at this time the city was full of torches, and a cold wind blew through the torches, and the torches rattled, but there was not a single soldier in sight, like a dead city burning with ghost fire.
"What should I do?" Zhen Yi also noticed this strange phenomenon and said to Zhen Yan beside him. "Could it be that the weather is too cold, so there are no soldiers here?"
"Father, I don't know what's going on, it stands to reason that Zhongshan is the lifeblood of Jizhou, and there will definitely be no unguarded situation! Since such a situation has occurred, it means that this mysterious person arranged it, from this point of view, this person's status in Jizhou is not high, is it Guo Tu? Zhen Yan said in a low voice, but his eyes kept staring at the city gate and guarding it carefully, for fear that a team of soldiers would suddenly come out of nowhere and surround him and others.
"Because it shouldn't be Guo Tu, you must know that Guo Tu sold his family to Yuan Shao, and he is not too favored by Yuan Shao, even if he is the mysterious person, he will not let us go this way!" Zhen Yi shook his head and said, as a member of the Zhen family, he still knows some things that ordinary people don't know, so he is still very clear about some of Yuan Shao's behavior.
"Father, brother, now is not the time to discuss who the mystery is, our first priority is to get out of the city as soon as possible! Lest you have too many dreams at night! Zhen Mi saw that his father and brother were actually discussing his mysterious person, and couldn't help but shake his head and said that now the lives of himself and others have not been guaranteed, and discussing the mysterious person now is undoubtedly dead.
At this moment, suddenly a few black-clothed people appeared in the surrounding darkness, and quickly rushed to the city cave, and with a squeak, the city gate opened a small slit that only accommodated a few people, and the whole process seemed to be very long, but in fact, these actions were completed almost silently in an instant.
"This, this, this..."Zhen Yi and the others couldn't help but change their faces after seeing it, these black-clothed people appeared too suddenly, and even one of them came out from behind themselves and others, presumably the actions of themselves and others have been under the observation of others, which undoubtedly made Zhen Yi and others feel terrible.
"Master Zhen, don't be surprised that we are here to help you!" Suddenly, in the darkness behind Zhen Yi and the others, a man in black came out again and said, "After you leave the city, someone will pick you up, please don't delay any longer!" Get out of town! ”
Just when Zhen Yi and the others reacted and were about to say something, the man in black suddenly retreated behind him and disappeared after a while, leaving only the whirring wind to make people wonder if there was really a person here.
"Father, let's go, we can't delay, otherwise we will let our benefactor take a huge risk!" Zhen Mi hurriedly said after seeing it.
As Zhen Mi's voice sounded, Zhen Yi and the others reacted completely, and then quickly approached the direction of the city gate, and after a while, they passed through the gap and came to the outside of Zhongshan City, and the gap behind them also slowly closed, making it impossible to see that the city gate had been opened.
Zhen Mi looked at the brightly lit city and whispered, "It's not time to relax, let's hurry up and flee in the direction of Youzhou, the people who picked us up should be over there!" ”
After Zhen Mi finished speaking, she took the lead and ran in the direction of Youzhou, she knew that if she didn't run, her family would definitely ask questions again, and then she and the others would probably be very dangerous.
Zhen Yi and the others hurriedly chased after Zhen Mi after seeing him escape, although they were curious why Zhen Mi must have picked up the person who answered him in that direction, but because Zhen Mi ran too fast, even Zhen Yan could only keep his mouth shut and keep his breath from letting himself breathe.
Just as Zhen Mi said, not long after running out of the place where the fire shone at the head of Zhongshan City, he saw several war horses quietly tied to a tree, and the horses also carried a lot of dry food and even some weapons and soft armor.
Everyone couldn't help but be overjoyed when they saw it, and they stepped forward to untie the horses and put on their armor, and now they are fugitives from Jizhou, and no one knows if anyone will come to assassinate them, so if they can save their lives, they will save their lives.
"Old man Zhen Yi has thanked all the heroes! I also hope that all the heroes will be famous in the future, and the old man will be thanked! After everyone finished dressing, Zhen Yi bowed to the surrounding woods and said, he and the others were able to escape unharmed, all because of this group of heroes.
"Alright Father, let's go quickly! We're not safe now, but we'll have a chance to repay our benefactors in the future!" Zhen Mi looked at Zhen Yi who was saluting, and couldn't help crying and laughing.
"Mi'er, do you already know who our benefactor is?" Zhen Yi looked at Zhen Mi, who was crying and laughing, and asked with some curiosity, and then quickly turned over and got on the horse, since these people who answered just stored the horses here, they naturally didn't want others to know about them, instead of waiting here for an answer that didn't answer, it was better to follow their daughter to escape from the fire first.
"That's right! Our benefactor is now in Youzhou! After we arrive in Youzhou, we will naturally meet our benefactor! Zhen Mi smiled slightly, and then slapped his horse and ran in the direction of Youzhou.
Zhen Yi and the others glanced at each other and smiled helplessly, and then slapped their horses and chased after them, if they stayed for a while, I am afraid that Zhen Mi would run away.
After Zhen Mi and the others came for a while, two figures suddenly walked out of the dark woods, one looked extremely thin, but the whole person revealed a strong self-confidence, and the other looked a little big and three thick, but it didn't look clumsy but had a sharp feeling, which made people shudder.
"I didn't expect that little girl to be so elf, and she could actually think that we are from Youzhou!" The thin voice said slowly, "No wonder the lord said that you can't underestimate the women of the world." ”
"It's late at night, now that they are riding our war horses, it will be difficult for Yuan Shao to catch up, and there should be no danger if there are charm spots along the way, let's go back and rest as soon as possible!" The strong man said in a sullen voice.
"Rest?! No, no, no, now that they're buying time, we're adding fuel to their fire! The thin figure said slowly.
"What do you mean?" When the strong man heard this, his tone suddenly burst into excitement, and his whole eyes sparkled in the dark night, like a lone wolf.
"This is not the place to talk, boss, let's go back and talk slowly!" The thin figure smiled slightly, and then walked briskly towards the dense woods.
The strong man glanced back at the brightly lit Zhongshan City not far away, and he didn't show a smile, but the smile was extraordinarily dazzling and bloody....
When the sunshine of the next day sprinkled Zhongshan again, the entire Zhongshan City was alarmed, and some people reported that the Zhen family had mysteriously disappeared, but no money had been taken away, and only that family had disappeared, and there was no trace of even the carriage.
When Yuan Shao knew about this, his first reaction was disbelief, but when he visited in person, he had to admit this fact, so a vigorous city search operation was launched, after all, there was no report last night that there was a change in the direction of the city gate, Yuan Shao thought that the Zhen family was kidnapped by thieves, and they were now in the city.
However, after a day of searching, Yuan Shao reluctantly recognized the reality, presumably because he didn't know where to leak the news, so Zhen Yi's family managed to go out of the city overnight, but after a day's delay, it was unrealistic to want to pursue, the only thing that made Yuan Shao happy was that at least in Jizhou, the Zhen family also left a large amount of family property, but the result of the matter was that if it was, it would definitely give Yuan Shao a big surprise.
On the other hand, after Lu Bu and Xi Zhi learned about Yuan Shao and Zhang Niujiao, they also started a series of actions, presumably they will soon show their minions again and show their sharpness to the world....
