The road to escape is destined to be uneven.

Bai Qi led the clansmen to feel this more and more as they walked.

More than 2,000 people fell ill for most of the time, and asked Han Laosan to treat him, but Han Laosan only said that it was caused by heat and cold, and as long as he took the medicine according to the prescription handed down by their ancestors, he would be cured after a while.

But after so long, there was no recovery, but it became more and more intense.

However, everyone has no other way than to believe in Han Laosan, but to help the old and the young at the same time, and then take care of the sick number, and move forward with difficulty.

"Little girl wants to eat bunnies!" When everyone was sitting on the road to rest, Bai Qi's eldest daughter, who had not yet left the pavilion, hugged her little sister.

The little girl hid in her sister's arms, thinking that she was being held by her mother, and couldn't help but whisper in a drowsy state.

Bai Qi sighed, the eldest daughter was actually a little hot, but she could only grit her teeth and move forward, and she had to take care of her sister on the way.

The only thing to be thankful for is that they have enough food along the way.

After all, it was distributed to them to make seeds, but they were all abducted, which made many simple people feel a little guilty.

In this era, only the princes robbed the people's grain, but they, as the people, abducted the princes' grain, and I am afraid that there is no one in the world.

"Seventh Uncle, Seventh Uncle," at this time, I saw a young man running from a distance out of breath, bending down and saying, "I climbed the mountain in front of me just now, and I saw a lot of soldiers on the other side of the mountain, I don't know which side of the army. ”

"Soldiers?"

Bai Qi's heart sank, and he muttered: "This is still the boundary of Guanzhong, and the soldiers are naturally the Guanzhong Army." ”

As soon as these words came out, there was an uproar around.

"We have escaped for so long, but we still haven't escaped the control of the Guanzhong Army."

"We kidnapped the seeds they sent, those soldiers must be waiting for us in front, if they catch us, I'm afraid they will kill us all."

"I'm going to kill us, after all, we've cheated them out of their food."

"There is an interception in front and a chasing soldier in the back, so what should we do?"

All the people were in a state of panic, and they all felt that it was difficult to fly, and a great disaster was coming.

"Don't make noise, don't panic," Bai Qi, as the leader, stood up, looked around, and then said in a deep voice: "I know a path that can bypass the mountain in front." ”

"That's great!"

"In that case, in case the night is long and dreamy, let's not rest, let's go quickly."

Seeing a glimmer of hope again, the people gritted their teeth and helped each other to their feet.

A few hours later, the sun was sinking in the west, Bai Qi looked at the valley behind him and let out a sigh of relief, and said with joy in his tone: "This place is already the boundary of Hanzhong, and we are probably out of the customs."

After Hanzhong, that is Shudi, and then we will live a good life. ”

"Thanks to Uncle Seven's knowledge of the road, otherwise we would have fallen into their hands." Someone praised it from the bottom of his heart.

"Yes, thanks to Uncle Seven, he led us to escape."

Before the words fell, I heard the sound of horses' hooves, accompanied by bursts of shouts "Drive!" ”

The crowd was in a trance, when suddenly a sentry of men and horses rushed out of the opposite valley, with cavalry in front and infantry behind, a total of about two thousand people.

There were several cavalry colonels rushing to the front, each waving a big banner, some with "General Han Zhaoyi" written on it, and some with only one big "Zhang" character.

The soldiers quickly surrounded the refugee group, led by a heavily armored general.

There was a deputy general next to him who stepped forward and shouted to everyone in the Bai family: "General Zhaoyi of the Great Han is here." ”

It turned out that the leader of the general was Zhang Wei, the brother of Hanzhong and Lu.

Previously, Yuan Shang had sent people to persuade Zhang Lu to send troops to attack Guanzhong.

But at that time, Liu Zhang, the lord of Shu, had just killed his father Liu Yan's old lover, that is, Zhang Lu's mother, who was said to have a girlish face even when she was old, as if she could stay young forever.

And Liu Zhang immediately appointed the general Pang Xi to attack Hanzhong, Zhang Lu then sent his general Yang Ren to lead the army south to meet the attack, the two sides started a big battle, Zhang Lu naturally had no spare strength to attack Guanzhong again.

What's more, Zhang Lu is the third-generation Heavenly Master of the "Five Buckets of Rice Dao", who rules the people with his teachings, and has a good life in Hanzhong, at most he dreams of fighting Shuzhong, and has no interest in Guanzhong, which is thousands of miles away.

It's just that since Liu Ping sent Xu Huang to lead the army and horses to garrison at the border, Zhang Lu also sent his younger brother Zhang Wei to lead a sentry to resist.

Both sides were given orders to defend, and no one took the initiative to attack, so after such a long time, it was all right.

Although there was no conflict between the soldiers, Bai Qi led so many people into Hanzhong suddenly, and the Hanzhong army was immediately alert.

"Where did you come from and where do you want to go?" The deputy will continue to cross-examine.

Bai Qi hurriedly stepped forward, bowed down and said: "Return to the general, we are all the people of Guanzhong, because we can't survive in Guanzhong, I want to flee to Shu to avoid trouble, and I hope that the general will make it convenient and borrow a road from us, and we will always feel the great virtue of the general." ”

"Hmm!" Zhang Wei rode on the horse, snorted coldly, and pointed the spear in his hand at the people abruptly: "Why are you so embarrassed?" ”

Some of the people were carrying on their backs, some were holding on their backs, and they looked extremely embarrassed.

"Back to the general, we traveled all the way, sleeping in the open at night and in the wilderness suburbs, many people were infected with the wind cold."

"Are you sure it's a chill?" Zhang Wei's face changed color suddenly, and he said sharply: "Isn't it a plague?" ”

He turned to a man in Taoist robes and asked, "'Guru', please do the math." ”

The so-called "master" is a disciple of Daozu Zhang Ling, and he is still Zhang Wei's uncle.

The "Guru" pinched his fingers, and suddenly his face changed greatly, and he shouted: "The plague that these people are suffering from is indeed a plague, and all those who are infected must be burned with fire at once to be eliminated."

Moreover, if one of them is possessed by a plague god, an altar must be set up to burn the plague god to death.

Otherwise, it will endanger my Hanzhong. ”

The soldiers of Hanzhong ruled the army and the people with their teachings, so the soldiers believed in the supernatural powers of those masters.

"Kill!"

"Kill!"

All the soldiers were stunned, staring at the blood-red eyes, pointing the spear in their hands at the Bai clan, shaking their heads and acting like crazy.

This posture frightened a group of people, why did they contract the plague themselves?

And the plague god possessed?

"General, wronged, what we got is just an ordinary wind chill, not a plague."

Zhang Wei didn't listen to their explanations at all, and said to everyone in a cold voice: "There are two ways to choose, one is that those infected with the plague take the initiative to stand up and die, and second, everyone has to die."

Take your pick! ”

Everyone looked at each other and was silent.

Unexpectedly, after all the hardships, he finally escaped from Guanzhong and entered Hanzhong, but he faced such a tragic choice.

As long as they are infected with the cold, they will be burned to death, who can stand it?
