Chapter 157: Chase and Escape
After pondering and meditating for a long time, Yang Yun finally made a decision, they found some food in a small mountain village. Then, creating the illusion of absconding to the lower reaches of the Chu River, they quietly turned back and hid in the mountains.
Yang Yun's method finally gave them a chance to breathe, and let them stay in the mountains for two days, without finding a single Chu soldier who caught up.
Taking advantage of these two precious two days, Yang Yun and the others not only recovered their injuries well, but also recovered a lot of mental state.
On the third day, the sound of Chu soldiers shouting came from the mountains and forests, obviously they searched all the way down and found no trace of Yang Yun and others, so they sent people back to the mountains and forests to search for the traces of Yang Yun and others here.
Although the area of this mountain forest is still relatively large, the Chu army has sent thousands of people to search here. It's very difficult to hide inside and not be discovered by them. So, Yang Yun and the others decided to leave first while the enemy had not yet discovered themselves and the others.
In a small village on the side of the mountain, the four of them "borrowed" a few sets of clothes worn by the common people of Chu in a farmer's house, and of course left them twice as much silver.
It was much more convenient to change into the clothes of the people of Chu and continue to move forward. Walking along the Chu River all the way, I found that there were a lot more Chu soldiers around.
In some places, checkpoints have also been set up, and pedestrians passing by have to go through strict checks, especially in the direction of the ferry.
In addition, Yang Yun's avatar was also plastered everywhere along the way, and a lot of money was given to let the people who found it provide clues, which brought great trouble to the itinerary of Yang Yun and others.
Now to go upstream, through Xunyang Pass back to Dafu, is tantamount to hitting the tiger's mouth. But there was no way, so the Hui people had to continue downstream. Find a way to take a detour back to Dafu.
Because there were many checkpoints along the way, in order to avoid trouble, Yang Yun and others often took a long detour, detoured to the mountains, or took a raft to dive to the lower reaches of the Chu River.
In this way, the four of them walked downstream along the Chu River for seven or eight days, traveling hundreds of miles. They regretted to find that the people of Chu were very determined to catch Yang Yun and the others this time, and they left, so many places, almost everywhere there were Yang Yun's avatars pasted everywhere.
At the same time, I learned from the mouths of the common people of Chu that the high-level officials of Chu actually asked everyone to take action in the form of a heavy reward, and reported to the top if they found clues about Yang Yun and others.
A series of measures taken by the officials of the Chu State caused a lot of trouble to Yang Yun and others, so that they had to put a lot of energy into their hidden bodies and try every means to avoid being discovered by the Chu people.
This time, Duanmu Jiyue finally came in handy. Originally, she was the most depressed one in these periods of action. Because of the four. Her kung fu is the weakest, and her physical strength is not good enough, and she often lags behind in the action.
But now. The whole team needs to hide their whereabouts, Duanmu Jiyue, who is good at makeup, has completely changed everyone's image, four young people. He was made up as a teenager, a middle-aged person, or even an old man.
In particular, Yang Yun, who was the focus of the Chu people, was dressed up as a middle-aged man with a beard by Duanmu Jiyue, and in order to make the image realistic, he also disguised him with a big belly.
With this costume, they will be much more relieved when they travel, and they don't have to worry too much about being recognized by the people of Chu who they meet at any time.
After going about 200 miles ahead, we will reach the territory of Zizhou in the state of Chu, which borders Yinzhou in Dafu. After discussing with a few others, Yang Yun decided to cross the border from here and reach the territory of Yinzhou in Dafu.
After putting on makeup, the people of Chu really couldn't recognize Yang Yun and the others, so they reduced a lot of trouble to their trip, making them move much faster than before.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Yang Yun and the others hurried and finally came to the territory of Zizhou in the Chu State. From here, go forward for dozens of miles, pass through Zizhou City, and then go southeast for a short time, and you can reach the territory of Dafu.
Zizhou City is a very important city in the territory of Chu State, it is not only an important pass between Chu State and Dafu, bordering on it, but also a famous agriculture, fishery and animal husbandry city in Chu State, and its economic status in Chu State can be ranked at least in the top three.
Of course, there were many people in such an important city, and countless farmers, merchants, and soldiers came and went.
Yang Yun was standing at the gate of Zizhou City at this time, preparing to meet the inspection of the city gate guards, and trying to find a way to sneak into the city.
"Alas! In the past few days, they have either wandered around the mountains and forests, or they have hid in villages, or even hidden in the fields, and they have not eaten well or slept well. When you enter Zizhou City, you must find a place to eat and drink and sleep beautifully. Qiao Yuwei received it in a low voice, and the foodie saw it the same way, and his idea was immediately approved by Duanmu Jiyue.
"Hurry up, a few of you." At this moment, the guards of the city gate shouted to them. It turned out it was their turn to be examined.
In order to sneak into the city, Duanmu Jiyue spent a lot of effort to dress up Yang Yun as a pot-bellied rich man, while he dressed up as the rich man's wife, and Qiao Yuwei and Chi Mu'er became maids and guards.
In order to dress up realistically, Qiao Yuwei also took out a gold leaf and bought a carriage from a rich man in the countryside.
The guards guarding the gate looked at the four of them for a long time, and saw that their hearts were hairy, and after a long time, they did not let them enter the city. and did not cause them to turn away.
After a long time, Yang Yun finally reacted. He gave it to Chimur. It dawned on the unresponsive fellow that he took out a piece of broken silver from his bosom and handed it to the guards guarding the door. This time. The guards guarding the door moved out of the way and let Yang Yun and the others leave.
"These guys. It's disgusting. Guarding the city gate has to make money, this is grandpa, I risk being drowned in the river. Desperately saved the silver! "Jane, these gatekeepers are at a distance. Chi Mu'er said indignantly.
"Hehe, you kid is really a money fan, you don't want money to die, in order to prevent you from going out to spend all day drinking, if you have money in the future, you have to hand it over to me, and I will take care of it for you." Qiao Yuwei on the side said.
"That's right! Right! Yuwei, you have to be stricter, this guy is not honest. Yang Yun said with a smile in the carriage, making Chi Mu Ear scratch his head and be depressed for a long time.
"Don't talk so much nonsense, go find the best inn. Take another good shower. I haven't had a chance to wash it these days. It's uncomfortable, and then we'll find a place to eat. Duanmu Jiyue is not interested in their topic, what is there to eat in Zizhou Cheng at this time.
Shayu Street is one of the most lively streets in Zizhou City, where many wine shops and tea houses are gathered, and it is a place that many outsiders who come to Zizhou want to come to.
Duanmu Jiyue knew that there was such a place in Chu State. , but never had the opportunity to come here. As she passed by here today, she cried out to try the delicious food.
Yang Yun didn't want to come to a place with so many people, but looking at Duanmu Jiyue's expectant look, he couldn't bear it.
Then he thought that the most dangerous place is often the safest place, and the people of Chu would definitely not have imagined that he, who was hiding his whereabouts everywhere, would actually run to such a lively place.
So, the four of them found a relatively clean inn on this street to live in. Duanmu took a comfortable hot bath for the moon, and then dragged the four of them to find nearby food.
"Xizilai, this name is good, the store decoration is gorgeous, there are many diners, and the taste should be good. Let's just pick this one. "As a senior foodie, Duanmu Jiyue. Have your own unique perspective on finding restaurants.
The four of them chose a table in a corner on the second floor near the river, and enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the Chu River while tasting various delicacies of the Chu country.
"A few guest officers, listen to a few songs! My little girl's little song is very good. As soon as the four of them sat down, a thin old man, holding an erhu in his hand, and a girl of seventeen or eighteen years old, came to their table.
Yang Yun and the others looked up at the old and the young, and saw that although their clothes were old, they were cleanly washed and the patches were neatly patched, but the complexions on the faces of the two were not particularly good. Obviously, life has been very hard for a long time.
"Then you can pick up your best songs and sing a few songs." Duanmu Jiyue cared about food and was not interested in listening to music, but his sympathy overflowed.
In all fairness, this little girl's song sings very well, and with the accompaniment of the old man's erhu, it has a unique taste.
"Big guy. What are you doing in a daze? Get the money! After singing a few songs, Duanmu Jiyue shouted loudly to Chimur. His package had sunk into the river, and he had no penny on his body, so he had to count on Chimu'er.
Looking at Chi Mu'er's painful appearance of paying the silver, the two girls couldn't help but cover their mouths and smile.
The food came up quickly, and the business of this Xizilai was very good, and it seemed that it still had its personal point. The dishes are stir-fried in different styles, but they all taste very good.
As a result, the young man, who had not eaten a good meal for more than four days, had a great appetite and started a hard battle with these delicacies.
"What are you going to do? Hurry up and let me go, help! At this moment, there was a sudden shout from downstairs.
"Master, I can afford you to be your luck, look at your little lady, you look good, go to Fudong with your master to enjoy the blessings!" A voice came out. Immediately after that, there was a burst of laughter.
Yang Yun and the others looked downstairs, only to see that at the table below, a noble son grabbed the little girl who had just sung a song, and said something with a hippie smile. A few young people at the same table with the aristocratic son were still coaxing beside them.
The little girl who sang just now was struggling desperately, but she didn't have much strength, and she couldn't break free from the aristocratic son's hand.
The old man who pulled the erhu kept begging the aristocratic son to let him let go of his daughter, but the aristocratic son was indifferent.
At this time, the old man couldn't bear it anymore, and hit the noble son, but was kicked to the ground by the noble son, and he didn't get up for a long time.
