Chapter 13: Escape
Master Liu didn't say much, and kept running towards the rickety old servant. The rickety old servant protected Master Liu behind him, and then cast his fierce eyes on Zhu Chuba, as if he was about to rush to this madman who dared to kidnap the old man without saying a word, and fight to the death. However, Master Liu patted the rickety old servant on the shoulder at the right time, and then the two whispered something, and then Master Liu was escorted by the rickety old servant and retreated behind the defenders surrounding Zhu Chuba, but he did not leave, obviously wanting to stay and watch this good show. Master Liu is confident that with the great master of the old servant, it is enough to deal with possible dangers.
Zhu Chuba was also relieved when he saw this, he was really afraid that the rickety old servant would also participate in his encirclement and suppression. The danger of this person alone is equivalent to the hundred defenders brought by Du Li.
Du Li saw that Master Liu had retreated to a safe place, and asked Zhu Chuba: "You didn't wait for Ben Yin to give up the last trump card in your hand to save your life." ”
Zhu Chuba spread his hands and said, "Of course not, I'm not stupid." I'm waiting for you to come because I want to make a deal with you. ”
"Deal? What is the deal? Du Li asked.
Zhu Chuba put his hand into his arms and fumbled, and then took out a bright yellow envelope: "Of course, you guys are arresting me with such fanfare, of course, not because Ben Shaoxia is more valuable, but because you want this letter." ”
Du Li's pupils shrank, stared at the letter and said, "What do you want?" As long as you give me the letter, I can let you go. ”
Zhu Chuba shook his head and said, "I don't believe you." ”
Du Li frowned and said, "Then what do you want?" ”
Zhu Chuba said: "You let your people stand on one side, I stand on the other side, and then I put the envelope in the middle, and we retreat at the same time, until I turn around and leave, and you come back to pick up this letter and go back." ”
Du Li's brows furrowed even deeper: "You might as well hand over the letter directly to me, I promised to open the city gate and let you leave." If you do this, the city gate is still not opened, and you can't escape from Yingzhou City, so why bother? ”
Zhu Chuba smiled and said, "I said, I can't trust you." This letter is now the only life-saving bargaining chip on my body, I handed it over to you, and you suddenly regretted not letting me go, wouldn't I have lost my wife and broken my army. And as long as I can escape your sight today, I can hide again so that you can't find me. I believe that you have got it, and I believe that you, Lord Yin, will not insist on closing the city gates and letting the people in the city suffer just to catch me, a worthless boy. ”
Du Li was silent, gritted his teeth after thinking for a moment and said, "Okay, I promise you." ”
Du Li immediately ordered all the guards surrounding Zhu Chuba to shrink behind him.
Zhu Chuba didn't think that he could escape from the eyes of more than 100 people with the envelope, and he didn't play tricks, but obediently put the envelope on the ground, raised his right hand, and said to Du Li: "Let's retreat together." ”
Du Li ordered: "Retreat slowly." ”
Zhu Chuba and Du Li looked at each other, slowly retreating, getting farther and farther away.
After a while, Zhu Chuba saw that the distance was far enough, and without hesitation, he turned around and flashed into a small alley on the side of the road.
Seeing this, Du Li hurriedly ordered the envelope to be picked up.
As soon as the envelope reached Du Li's hand, he couldn't wait to tear it open, but when Du Li saw the contents of the envelope, his face was extremely exciting. That's humiliation, it's anger.
There was only one sentence on the envelope that Zhu Chuba gave him: "Fooled, fool, this letter has long been dropped by Ben Shaoxia." Hahahaha......"
Du Li crumpled the letter and threw it far away. Then he hissed and roared, "Give me chase." ”
"Yes." Zhou Zheng listened to the order and was just about to take someone to chase him. At this moment, a defender wearing the uniform of the defenders of the city gate hurriedly ran in the distance.
The defender rushed to Du Li's side and said that he had something important to report, and then leaned into Du Li's ear and whispered.
After a few moments, the gloom on Independence's face quickly turned into surprise. He stretched out his hand to stop Zhou Zheng, who was about to set off to hunt down Zhu Chuba, and said, "Things have changed, that person doesn't have to worry about it for the time being." Hurry up and follow Ben Yin to the city gate to greet your guests.
A person from the capital came to Yingzhou City today, not a big man, but a close confidant of the general Chakhan Timur, who came with the codex of the general of the Qincha. Originally, according to Du Li's identity, even if the person who came represented the general of Qincha, after all, his identity was not high, so he really didn't need to rush over to greet him in such a hurry. But the current situation is different, Zhaozhou City is in danger, and he is a dereliction of duty as a neighboring Dazhou Prefecture Yin who failed to help each other. And if there is no clear letter of request for help from Zhaozhou, it is a crime of rebellion to dispatch the defenders without authorization. But as soon as the general came to the court, things would be easy to do, and the general came with a holy decree to inspect the states on behalf of the emperor, and he had absolutely the right to order troops.
Du Li struggled with this troublesome matter for many days, thinking that he would be a hundred when he got Zhaozhou's letter for help, but who would have thought that the guy who stole the letter for help would be so difficult, and after looking for so many days, he finally found it and was put on a table by him. Du Li was in a hurry now, and when he heard that the cronies of the general had arrived, where could he care about his identity or not, so he rushed to the city gate with a group of people.
As soon as Du Li arrived at the city gate, he scolded the guards guarding the gate, the reason was that he did not open the city gate in time for Lord Qincha's cronies, and let the family stand outside the city gate and wait. Du Li was also in a hurry, he didn't know where he was not allowed to open the city gate without his order, it was his own order to give it personally. But now he is afraid that he will snub the cronies of this great lord of the Qincha, if the family is dissatisfied because of this, and says a few unpleasant words in front of the Lord Qincha, and the Lord Qincha reports to the imperial court again, then at least he will not be able to escape the crime of dereliction of duty in closing the gate of the city for ten days.
The person who was personally greeted by Du Li at the city gate was also a little dumbfounded after knowing Du Li's identity, he was just a subordinate, even if he came back to represent Lord Qincha, he couldn't stand the diligence of Yizhou Prefecture Yin.
"I'm really embarrassed, this little brother, in the past few days, there has been a Jiangyang thief in our Yingzhou City, in order to prevent the Jiangyang thief from escaping, so I ordered the city gate to be closed, and I will never be allowed to open the city gate without my order. I hope this little brother doesn't blame him. Du Li explained with a smile to the Qincha cronie.
This cronie did not lose his proportions because of Du Li's hospitality, but said neither humbly nor arrogantly: "Where and where, the villain understands, the villain understands." ”
Du Li patted this person on the shoulder with a smile, and said with a serious expression: "How long will Lord Qincha arrive, this Zhaozhou war has started, if you don't send troops quickly, I'm afraid the situation is not good." ”
