Chapter 408: Encirclement and Suppression
After shooting a wave of arrows, those people slowly touched it, ready to go around behind Xie Yutang and them, and be caught off guard. Xie Yutang didn't want to fight, so he casually fought with them for a few moves, and then took Chi Wan and retreated.
"Catch them for me, don't let them run away, and if anyone is caught alive, he will be rewarded with a hundred taels of gold." One shouted.
Xie Yutang pulled Chi Wan to run fast.
The Nine Princes didn't know where they came from, and they still had the heart to joke with them, "General Xie, you are only worth a hundred taels of gold, it looks a little cheap." ”
Xie Yutang's face turned blue, glanced at him, and didn't say anything.
The three of them deliberately played with each other, and when the officers and soldiers couldn't catch up, they stopped again, as if they were waiting for them.
"These people are too stupid, the imperial brother just sent these people out to chase you? Inevitably, he underestimated the original General Xie too much. "The Nine Princes were disdainful of the people sent by the King of Chu.
Xie Yutang said coldly, "They are not weak, if the prince underestimates them, sooner or later he will suffer." ”
You must know that he suffered a big loss at their hands, and there are many elites among these people sent by the King of Chu.
The reason why they didn't catch up with them was that they weren't familiar with this side, and they had planned their escape route early in the morning, so they were active, and they were passive, so it was inevitable that they would be a little constrained.
The Nine Princes shrugged their shoulders, it turned out that Xie Yutang's statement was right, because those people were so tenacious, they ran for two days, and they were still chasing after them, but this was just as they intended.
"What's next?"
On this day, they were at the inn, discussing the next road.
Xie Yutang pushed open the window, and there was just a river outside. He spit out a sentence, "Take a boat and go down to Jiangnan." ”
The Ninth Prince laughed and said with interest, "Jiangnan, what a good place, I am suddenly very much looking forward to our escape this time." ”
Chi Wan was a little speechless, it was unheard of that there were still people who liked to flee.
Going down to Jiangnan was planned a long time ago.
First of all, Jiangnan is rich in products and dense crowds, it is not easy to find people there, and it is more convenient to hide, secondly, Jiangnan is famous, and it is also a great blessing in life to go there to play, and finally, Jiangnan is 108,000 miles away from Yaowang Valley, and when I went to Jiangnan, Yaowang Valley is completely safe.
In a certain city in the south of the Yangtze River, at the base of the city wall, a group of people gathered there, looking up at the notices posted on the wall.
"Hey, this brother, what is written on this, can you read it?"
There was a scholar in it, who volunteered, "I'll read it to you, this is a wanted notice, it says that these two people are wanted criminals, if anyone sees it, go to the government to report it, and you can get a reward of 100 taels of silver." ”
With a bang, the crowd exploded.
One hundred taels, they can't save so much money in their lifetime, and they can get it by reporting it. For a while, many people began to be moved.
There are also some people who don't believe it, and ask suspiciously, "What you said is true?" What did these two people do, and how could they reward so much silver? Moreover, I think there is a girl on it. ”
The scholar read it carefully again, and said affirmatively, "That's right, it's a reward of one hundred taels, these two people are criminals of the imperial court, and it is said that they participated in the rebellion." ”
When they heard that it was a rebellion, everyone was not so surprised. After all, for the emperor, rebellion is the most difficult to accept, and the reward is not too much.
Everyone was talking about the reward, and they didn't notice that two people quietly withdrew.
These two people are Chi Wan and Xie Yutang who came all the way to Jiangnan from the Medicine King Valley, but now they have changed their appearances, Chi Wan is dressed as a man, with black and yellow skin, and Xie Yutang has also painted some messy things on his face, and his tall figure is slightly rickety, even if the appearance of the two is thrown in the crowd, no one takes a second look.
"Unexpectedly, the King of Chu took the lead, and along the way, almost every city has our portrait." Xie Yutang's voice was low and hoarse.
Chi Wan sighed, if they hadn't noticed something was wrong at the beginning, they immediately changed their makeup, but they were afraid that they would have been arrested by the government before they stepped into Jiangnan.
The two walked around the streets with faces that no one knew, and found that not only the city gates, but also the shops on both sides were covered with their portraits.
Just in case, the two had to stay at the inn first and then discuss the next thing.
Back in the room, there were no outsiders, and Chi Wan breathed a sigh of relief.
Along the way, they have been disguising, not daring to use their own voices, not daring to be too ostentatious, for fear that they will show a little flaw. , I have long been tired of camouflage.
"Yutang, it looks like our plans need to change." Chi Wan said in a deep voice.
As soon as Xie Yutang entered the door, he straightened his back and returned to his usual tall appearance.
To be honest, he was still a little shocked, he didn't expect the King of Chu to be so eager for him to die.
Seeing that Xie Yutang didn't speak for a long time, Chi Wan thought that he was unwilling, and analyzed with him, "You see, we passed through three cities, each of which has wanted portraits, and even remote towns have not been spared. ”
Xie Yutang let out a long sigh, "He's here to wipe us out." ”
Chi Wan knew that he was uncomfortable, so she comforted him a few words, and Xie Yutang said, "Let's go, Jiangnan can't stay." ”
The king of Chu has mastered their whereabouts, and if he goes over, is he not throwing himself into the net?
The two reached an agreement and began to discuss which direction to go.
The conditions in the south are relatively bad, there are easy problems on the road, it is not very suitable for escape, and it is not a good place to go to the west. ”
Although I don't know what the situation in the north is now, in a desperate situation, there is no choice but to go to the north.
After deciding where to go next, the nerves of the two were no longer so tense.
Because she had been in a hurry, sleeping in the open air, and hadn't eaten anything good for several days, Chi Wan called Xiao Er and brought a table of food.
After eating eight points full, Chi Wan touched her stomach and suddenly asked Xie Yutang, "I don't know what happened to the Nine Princes?" ”
Originally, they came out with the Nine Princes, but halfway through, they suddenly heard a message that the Medicine King Valley was in chaos.
At first, they didn't believe it, after all, they had just come out of the Medicine King Valley.
Who knows that more and more people are talking about it, and there are still some greedy people who want to get a piece of the pie, so they can't help but believe it.
The Nine Princes immediately decided to go back and have a look.
He had been in the Medicine King Valley for a while, and he really regarded it as a second home, even closer than in the palace.
If something like this happened, Chi Wan and they couldn't keep him, and if it wasn't for the conditions, they would also want to go to the Medicine King Valley to have a look.
At the mention of Medicine King Valley, Xie Yutang's voice also lowered, "I don't know." ”
"When we left, it was clear that those people were following us, all they wanted was us, knowing that we were leaving, why should they have trouble with the Medicine King Valley?" Ji Wan was angry in her heart, and she was now very disgusted with the one on the dragon chair.
At the beginning, I thought that the prince was very desperate at doing things, at least on the surface, but this King of Chu was scheming, and ordinary people couldn't guess what he was thinking. Such people are also the most difficult to deal with.
Xie Yutang said slowly, "It may not be an officer or soldier. ”
"Who else but them? The Medicine King Valley is surrounded by formations, ordinary people can't enter, only the imperial court has the ability to invite capable people, I still think it's them. Chi Wan was surprised for a moment, and frowned in confusion.
"Don't forget, there are so many people in the Medicine King Valley." Xie Yutang's words are meaningful.
Just after spending a while in the Medicine King Valley, he found a lot of problems.
In fact, the Medicine King Valley is not as impregnable as it appears, it also has problems, and now, it is just that the problem has erupted.
Chi Wan is also an extremely smart person, Xie Yutang casually dialed it, she understood in her heart, frowned and muttered, "Could it still have something to do with us?" ”
If it was because of them that the Medicine King Valley fell into the abyss, Chi Wan would definitely blame herself to death.
Xie Yutang didn't speak, and both of them fell silent. After a long time, I heard Xie Yutang's voice, "Don't worry, the Ninth Prince has already gone back, he will definitely have a way." ”
"I hope so." Such a beautiful place, Chi Wan still wants to wait for everything to settle down in the future before going in to live in it for a few days.
The two didn't say anything more, went to bed for a night's rest, got up the next day, also changed their makeup first, and then prepared to go out of the city. Who thought of the city gate only to find out that there is martial law at the city gate today!
There was a long line at the gates of the city, where soldiers checked one by one.
"How so?" Ji Wan was surprised.
Xie Yutang was not very surprised, and said lightly, "It is estimated that the above has already received the news that we have arrived in Jiangnan, so the cities in Jiangnan have been placed under martial law." ”
Chi Wan was scared for a while, but fortunately they decided to leave, otherwise, they would have to be arrested in this place.
When the two of them left the city, they went directly to the north, and they did not dare to stop, because no one knew when the people sent by the king of Chu would catch up.
The escape was supposed to be extremely difficult, but because the two of them have been together, it doesn't seem to be so bitter.
However, Xie Yutang felt very sorry for Chi Wan.
"Wanwan, I'm sorry to make you suffer with me."
Chi Wan gave him a roll of the eyes, "The King of Chu is chasing and killing the two of us, why do you want to take care of everything?" ”
Xie Yutang smiled bitterly, in the final analysis, it was still the King of Chu who felt that he was a threat, and the birds were all gone, and the good bow was hidden. Chi Wan did not pose any threat to the King of Chu, and the reason why he was also hunted down was only because he was his wife.
However, he didn't say it in the end, but just held Ji Wan's hand more tightly.
