Just listening to the order of the king of Ba, in an instant, the Ba people all over the mountains and fields roared towards the mountain paths and paths like a flood. Yaldan the king of Ba sat in the chariot and led the way, only to hear him shout loudly to the soldiers around him all the way:

"Quick! Hurry up! If this king can't catch Princess Nishikori, this king will want all of you to fall to the ground! ”

When those Ba soldiers heard King Ba shouting like this, they didn't dare to slack off, and they also chased all the way forward.

Not long after, the Pakistani army came to a fork in the road. Yaldan looked at both roads separately, and then summoned the guide:

"What is the boundary here, and where do the two roads lead?"

Seeing that the guide came in a hurry, he gestured with the king of Ba and said:

"This road goes all the way to the west, leading to Linqiong, which is the territory of the Qiang people. The other road leads directly to the Fish Castle, however, it is also possible to go to the crossing of the Jingma River. ”

Yaldan got out of the car and came to the three forks in person. But I saw that there were traces of wheels running over the ground on these two roads, and I couldn't distinguish the authenticity for a while. can't help but be irritable:

"This thief girl is very clever! Knowing that the king would definitely lead his army to chase after him, he deliberately divided the team into two ways...... Qiang ...... Ferry, both can help her get out, how good is this! If you don't ...... Divide your forces to catch up? Cannot...... The Qiang people are brave, if I divide the army, if there is fraud, the Qiang people will wait for work again, and attack it together, this king is only afraid that he will suffer! ”

Just as Yaldan was hesitating, he saw that on the path in the direction of Yuyu City, there was a team of his own guards patrolling over. When Yaldan saw this, he was overjoyed, and immediately sent someone over and called them over.

It turned out that the soldiers who patrolled over were none other than the Pakistani soldiers who had met Wu Weiyi and others on the road before, and had teased Zijuan in their words.

When the soldiers saw that it was the king's chariot, they immediately knelt down about fifty paces away from him, but they didn't even dare to take a breath.

When King Ba saw them coming, he couldn't wait to send the Lang officials around him to ask them about it.

I saw that the two Lang officials hurriedly stepped forward and shouted to the Pakistani soldiers and asked:

"The king wants to ask you! Prick up your ears and listen! The king asked, 'Have you seen any suspicious people on this patrol?' ’”

As soon as this question came out, the sergeants were only frightened to lie on the ground and tremble, and secretly looked at each other a few times. I didn't dare to deceive, so I had to report it truthfully:

"Your Majesty, I have been patrolling the city since we came here, but we have never seen any suspicious people passing by here...... Apart from...... Except for a team of wealthy family members who are all dressed in white, and even the horses are all bright white. It was only said that he wanted to rush back to the funeral, passing through here. The rest...... I just haven't seen anyone pass by here. ”

When Lang Guan brought the original words to Yardan, the king of Ba, Yaldan and the guest secretaries around him listened carefully and understood. Just as the Qing's family was thinking and discussing in a low voice, they saw one of the guest secretaries who was traveling with him step forward and said to King Ba:

"King! This is a lie! ”

"Oh? What do you think, but it doesn't hurt to talk about it! ”

"King Qiyu, there are two doubts about this statement. First, our Pakistani army now occupies the Yuyu City, the Shu people can be said to be everyone in danger, and the soldiers of our army should be afraid to avoid it, and the road is straight to the Yuyu City, how can the Shu people drive the lamb and serve the tiger and wolf? Second, as this person said, in the funeral procession, even the horses were all bright white. As we all know, white horses are rare and have a very high value. Let's ask, don't say that it is the home of ordinary merchants, even among the nobles and nobles, how many people can enjoy this thing? With these two suspicions, those soldiers must have looked away, and they actually let the princess of Shu and her party leak out but they don't know it! ”

When Yaldan heard this guest qing's analysis, he was very reasonable, and he thought it was true. Suddenly, I saw him suddenly stand up on the carriage, pointed at the soldiers in front of him, and became furious:

"Someone! Drag these people down and put them to death! actually let the thief lady fool the past so easily, it is simply a loss of face for the king! (劓刑 means cutting off the nose, one of the five punishments in the Spring and Autumn Period)

"The king spares his life! The king spares his life! ...... The villain knows that he is wrong! The King ......"

"Ahh ...... I never thought about it...... Sure enough, I was victimized by that decrepit woman today! ”

Only a few screams were heard, and the soldiers instantly covered their noses and rolled on the ground in pain. Everyone standing around couldn't bear to look at him, but Yaldan still seemed to be angry, and was about to make him flogging, but he thought about it:

"Oops! So much time wasted with these bastard things! I'm afraid I'm going to be escaped by the thief girl. ”

Thinking of this, he shouted to the people:

"Everyone, listen to the king! Today, all the soldiers must step forward bravely! Capture the princess of the Shu Kingdom to the king, and if anyone can capture him alive, the king will give him a hundred salt wells! ”

As soon as Yaldan's words fell, all the soldiers of the Pakistani army seemed to have become tigers and wolves, all the way to the direction of Yuyan City.

And when they had not traveled for half an hour, they saw that the road had been divided into two. Just as Yaldan was about to summon the guide officer to his side to ask, there was a sudden commotion in the Pakistani army:

"Yikes! Look! Those plain white horses on the mountain! ”

Yaldan heard that there seemed to be some movement outside the car, so he quickly poked his head out of the car to take a look, and sure enough, between the mountainsides, there was a team of plain white horsemen in front of him, galloping all the way in the direction of Yujiao City, and there was actually a red paint car mixed in it, which was quite conspicuous!

"Hahaha! Sure enough, I was caught up by this king! Soldiers, catch up with this king. Whoever captures the princess will have the first credit! ”

Yaldan looked up to the sky and laughed three times, and then gave another order, and saw that all the Ba soldiers around him set out, and they did not take the rugged mountain road, but climbed straight up the mountain!

......

It turned out that at this time, Zijuan was leading the white horse female rider and had been waiting for those Ba people on the mountain path for a long time.

In fact, if it was according to the speed of their white horse Qiang, these Ba people could have been left behind early.

And the reason why they stayed halfway up the mountain was so that the Ba people could see them. Let the Ba people mistakenly think that the princess is sitting in the car at this moment, so that the Ba people chase after them.

So as to buy time for Her Royal Highness the Princess, to be able to reach the Jingma River crossing safely. And this is the plan of "Li Dai Taozhuang" set up by Wu Weiyi and Zijuan whispers before!

"Sisters! Now that the Ba people have been lured in and pursued, your task has been accomplished. Now there's only one last thing! Then run for your life as best you can! If you can...... If you're lucky, be sure to go to Yoro to meet the princess! Zijuan is here, so I thanked the sisters first! ”

I saw Zijuan poking her head out of the car and saying this to the white horse generals around her.

When these female riders heard Zijuan's heartfelt words, they couldn't help but burst into tears, and none of them were willing to leave.

"Go! Don't hesitate! In the future, the safety of the princess will depend on you! Even if my Zijuan is dead, I have no regrets! Go for it! ...... Just go! ......”

Just listening to Zijuan's words, she hid in the car without looking back, and ordered the groom of the royal car to continue to drive away.

The white-horseed horsemen were left behind, hiding their faces and weeping. Although they were reluctant to give up, they also knew the true meaning of Zijuan's words, and then they dispersed and walked towards the mountain path.
