Looking at the pleading look on Dong Yunyun's face, Li Xuan stopped opening the door, and after being silent for a few seconds, he said, "Hurry up and put on your shoes!" ”

Dong Yunyun nodded hurriedly when she heard this, she had been sleeping in clothes for the past two days, so she didn't need to wear extra clothes, and after getting out of bed and putting on her shoes, she walked to Li Xuan with small steps.

After pushing open the door and coming to the outer compartment, Dong Yunyun lowered her voice and said, "I'll call Zhu'er!" ”

Li Xuan didn't object, but nodded slightly: "Be careful, don't wake up the others!" ”

Zhu'er slept in the hut next to her, and after Dong Yunyun went, she saw the master and servant coming back after a while, but Zhu'er still had a small burden on her body, and she didn't know what was in it, probably clothes or something.

Li Xuan didn't talk to them, but beckoned, then quietly pushed open the door and took the two women to the place he had agreed with Bai Yunqi, Madame Bai and the others before.

At midnight, the small valley was very quiet, and there were no lights around, although Li Xuan carried the fire folds and torches prepared in advance, but he did not light them, but smeared them forward.

Simply tonight is a full moon, and there are no clouds in the night sky to block the moonlight, so Li Xuan and the others can move forward through the dim moonlight.

After walking cautiously for a while, after going around to an abandoned wooden house, Li Xuan also saw his uncle Bai Yunqi and Madame Bai and others.

They also didn't have torches or lanterns, so some of them couldn't see clearly, but they were still recognizable.

It's just that when they found out that Li Xuan didn't come alone, but brought Dong Yunyun and Zhu'er together, Madam Bai just walked up to Li Xuan, lowered her voice and said, "What's the matter with them?" ”

Li Xuan also lowered his voice: "I was noticed by them when I went out!" ”

Although the words were not said thoroughly, Madam Bai was also a smart person, and when she heard it, she could hear the hidden meaning of Li Xuan's words, that is: He didn't plan to take them with him, but his whereabouts were exposed, if he didn't bring them, if they made a loud noise, then he wouldn't be able to leave, so he had no choice but to take them with him.

Mrs. Bai turned her head to look at Dong Yunyun and Zhu'er, Dong Yunyun was a little hairy, and she begged in a panicked tone: "Please!" ”

Madame Bai said: "Don't speak, follow us later, be careful!" ”

Dong Yunyun and Zhu'er nodded hurriedly like chickens pecking rice.

Bai Yunqi also walked over: "It's not early, we should go!" ”

Madame Bai nodded and said, "Let's go!" ”

Immediately, Li Xuan's family, Dong Yunyun's master and servant, and the three villagers of the original Lijiazhuang, a total of nine people, walked towards the periphery of the valley in the dark.

A few days ago, Bai Yunqi and Li Xuan secretly observed the situation in the small valley through frequent wandering, and they had already decided to leave this small valley and avoid the bandits patrolling the intersection.

Although the moon was high in the sky, there were no torches to illuminate, and the small valley was not very smooth, so it was quite difficult to walk.

Not long after she left, Dong Yunyun fell down once, but the woman also knew that this was not the time to cry out in pain, so she didn't make a sound at all, and soon stood up with the help of Zhu'er and continued to keep up with everyone's pace.

When they had walked about a mile and had come to the back of a small dirt slope, they lit a small lantern with a fire breaker, but the torches and other lanterns they held in their hands were useless, so as not to attract the attention of the roving bandits.

But even so, with this little lantern and then the dim light, it was not as difficult for everyone to walk as before, and the speed of their march was increased by two points.

Bai Yunqi said: "After passing through the small forest in front, we can light a few large lanterns and torches, so that we can walk quickly!" ”

However, as soon as his words fell, Li Shan, the hunter among the people, suddenly said: "There is a situation!" ”

As soon as his words fell, Li Xuan also vaguely heard the commotion, which seemed to come from far away.

"What's going on?" Mrs. Bai on the side pulled Huichen and asked.

Bai Yunqi pointed to the valley mouth that entered the valley in the distance and said, "Look, the torches at the intersection over there are also lit, have they spotted us?" ”

"If you find us, the first person to light the torch must be in the valley, how can it be the valley mouth!" Li Xuan frowned, and he had a very bad premonition at this time.

As they spoke, the sound of gongs rang out in the mouth of the valley, where the torches were suddenly lit, and the dense sound of gongs was particularly harsh in the quiet of the night.

When the gong sounded, many houses in the valley were also lit up one after another, and many people ran out of the wooden houses in a panic in the firelight, although these people were disheveled, but they all brought knives, guns, hoes, and sticks.

Seeing this scene, Bai Yunqi's face next to him changed abruptly: "They didn't discover us, but an enemy is coming!" ”

"It must be Taniguchi who has discovered the enemy, so he will ring the gong to warn!" At this time, Orion Li Shan also spoke: "Someone said two days ago that once an enemy comes to attack, the guards of Taniguchi will ring the gong!" ”

At this time, Li Xuan took a deep breath: "It should be the officers and soldiers who are here!" ”

At this time period, in this place, it is impossible for anyone else to make Taniguchi's guards react so much, except for those officers and soldiers who are pursuing.

In the past two days, Li Xuan also roughly learned about the situation around this bandit's den, this bandit's den is hidden in the mountains, and there are no other bandit gangs around, so it is unlikely that other bandits will attack.

Even if there are other bandit gangs around, but now everyone knows that those officers and soldiers who are chasing Li Xuan and the others are searching in the mountains, and it is unlikely that other bandit gangs will take risks in this situation.

So the only possibility is: the officers and soldiers have been killed!

"So what do we do now? Keep walking? At this time, Li Shan looked at Li Xuan and Bai Yunqi.

Bai Yunqi said: "Now that the situation is chaotic, it is a good opportunity for us to escape!" ”

Li Xuan also nodded and said, "Yes, let's keep going!" ”

Let's not mention whether this is an opportunity or not, but now that the officers and soldiers have come to the door, they must not continue to stay here, in case the officers and soldiers break through the cottage, then they will definitely be a dead word.

So in any case, since they have already decided to escape, they can't stay.

Li Xuan continued: "Light the torches and hurry up!" ”

After lighting the lanterns and torches, the speed of their advance was greatly accelerated, but after a while, a fire dragon also appeared in front of them, and Li Xuan's face turned pale at this time, and this path was also guarded by officers and soldiers.

Do I care if God wants to die!

At this time, a large number of people carrying torches appeared in this place, who could it be other than those officers and soldiers?

Not only did they attack Taniguchi, but they even blocked the path of the trail.

Li Xuan tried to calm himself down, he knew that he had to deal with it calmly, otherwise he might not see the sun tomorrow.

Just when Li Xuan forcibly calmed himself down in a panic, outside the valley, the county magistrate wearing a seven-grade official robe and touching a goat's beard looked at the county warriors and officials who were advancing with torches in front of him with a smile, and then said with a confident look: "Pass the order, capture the pseudo-Tang prince, and reward a hundred taels of silver!" ”
