In fact, all this is an organized and premeditated frame-up, and Liu Xiaochen will definitely not admit it. Before Liu Xiaochen went to the capital of the Western Xia Kingdom, he not only met the lord of the Western Xia openly and openly, but also secretly met with the spies installed by the Great Song Dynasty, as well as the Prime Minister of the Western Xia who was bought by the Great Song Dynasty. The purpose was to decompose the interior of Western Xia and win over and support Li Changyou, but I didn't expect it to be really successful.

Liu Xiaochen said: "Lord Li, although you are a king, you have been used to being high and high over the years, and you must have offended many powerful people. Coupled with the fact that you have a bad year, it's no wonder that those people don't fall into the well! ”

Li Changyou thought of the prime minister and a group of people who did not deal with him, and this matter must have nothing to do with them. But now that he is a fugitive, and he has not a single soldier under him, he wants to return to Beijing to clarify with the emperor, which is tantamount to falling into the mouth of a tiger.

"Hey!" Li Changyou sighed, "The tiger fell into Pingyang and was bullied by dogs. ”

Liu Xiaochen said: "Your Excellency has been in charge of the military for a long time, and there must be a group of brothers who dare to be born and die for you. ”

"Only the Emperor's Tiger Talisman can mobilize more than a thousand troops, and I can't fight even if I want to. And now is not the time for the sword soldiers to meet, as long as the emperor calms down, he will know that he has been deceived by traitors. ”

"Well, there's a town ahead, and I've got horses there, so I can rest for a while."

The two walked into the town, found a clean shop with an excellent view, ordered two bowls of noodles, and devoured them. The noodles haven't been eaten yet, but I only heard the commotion on the poster sign not far away, which turned out to be wanted by the government.

Li Changyou took a look at it from a distance, and drew his head with his name written on it, and quickly lowered his head. The people at the table next to him saw the excitement, leaving a straw hat on the table, and Li Changyou hurriedly took it secretly and put it on his head.

In fact, these were all arranged by Liu Xiaochen a long time ago, otherwise how could the news be transmitted to this kind of town so quickly.

Liu Xiaochen threw away some broken silver, blocked Li Changyou with his body, and hurried out of the town while there were few people. Li Changyou hid in the haystack on the side, and when Liu Xiaochen returned to the town to fetch two horses, the two rode on the horses, looking for a sparsely populated path all the way east.

At night, the two hid in the mountains for the night, and they didn't dare to make a fire, but fortunately it was nearly May, and the night was not too cold, and a lot of hay could still be used as a quilt to keep out the cold.

Li Changyou looked at the stars in the sky, and didn't know if there was one on it to prove himself.

"Do you know how to look?" Lee Chang-woo said.

"I understand a little. You look at the moon, the fifteenth day of the first month, the circle is repeated, there must be something else blocking it. Lord Li's life is also like this, and when he turns a corner, the moon will be full again. ”

Li Changyou turned around and turned his back to the moon: "Turn around, you can't even see the moon." ”

Liu Xiaochen sat up and said, "Why is Master Li deceiving himself, why don't you dare to face the bright moon?" If the bright moon can shine on my heart, I will give my heart to the bright moon. ”

After a long time, Li Changyou said, "Can you help me?" ”

"I can't help you, I'm just asked by General Qu to visit you by the way." Liu Xiaochen said, "However, Da Song can help you!" ”

"Where is General Qu now?"

"General Qu secretly went to Jinguo Dajing, and he should be on the way back." Liu Xiaochen said. In fact, I haven't really seen General Qu yet, and I've always heard of his prestige, but I haven't seen it yet. Before leaving Beijing, General Li Cailian found himself, and let himself go to Xixia how to find someone, in fact, all this road, General Qu had already paved the way, and he could come to fulfill this matter and play the role of the finishing touch, in addition to his own ability, he also had to thank General Qu very much. It was Qu Ping who fulfilled his great cause of being proud of his life.

"Then we have to hurry up and go to Song-Jin Border Pass to wait for General Qu. Except for General Qu, I don't dare to believe the rest of you in the Great Song Dynasty. Lee Chang-woo said.

Liu Xiaochen shouted: "I have a lot of confidence in you, so I can be regarded as a person you can trust!" ”

"That's not what I meant, don't mind. To be honest, you are still soft-spoken, and some things cannot be done. ”

"Alright then, hurry up and rest, we have to hurry tomorrow."

After the night, both of them, both physically and mentally exhausted, fell into a deep sleep.

On the second day, Li Changyou woke up, Liu Xiaochen had already found some fruit from outside, and the two of them ate it indiscriminately and continued to hurry. All states and counties along the way have been strictly inspected and blocked, and card checks have been set up everywhere, and the two of them can only take a long detour, climb mountains and wade through rivers, and advance at a speed like a turtle.

In a deserted hill, Li Changyou sat on the ground, panting heavily, looking at the horse that had just died of exhaustion, and then at another thin horse that was paralyzed on the ground, and sighed: "In this way, what year and month can you reach the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

Liu Xiaochen took out the kettle and handed it to him, saying, "I have a plan, I don't know if the marshal dare?" ”

"It's all at this time, don't call me Lord Marshal, it sounds strange and sarcastic. Say, what do you do? Li Changyou gulped a large sip of water.

"Instead of crawling east like a turtle, go west, the enemy will definitely not think that you will go the other way!"

Li Changyou looked at Liu Xiaochen in disbelief: "Heading west? Why? ”

"Have you forgotten who I am?"

"I don't understand!"

"Then you just follow me, I have a way to keep you safe!" Liu Xiaochen said mysteriously.

The two of them didn't go far out of Guazhou, and it didn't take long to go in reverse, avoiding the sentry posts along the way, and then passing Guazhou to the west, and then bypassing Shazhou, and the front was Yumen Pass. The Yumen Pass, where caravans used to come and go, was scarce because the Western Xia was blocked in the middle. At this time, because of the war outside the gate, the gate was closed, and there were 10,000 Western Xia troops stationed in the gate, who were gathering in the gate to practice. The two hid on the mountain in the distance and watched from afar, and if they wanted to get out, they had to have the ability to ascend to the sky.

"The Yellow River is far above the white clouds, a lonely city and ten thousand mountains. Why should Qiang Di complain about the willows, the spring breeze does not pass the jade gate. Liu Xiaochen groaned.

Li Changyou said: "Lord Liu is so Yaxing, and he is still in the mood to chant poetry!" ”

"Wang Zhilian's "Liangzhou Ci" is really wonderful!" Liu Xiaochen praised, "Now that the door is closed, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the spring breeze to bypass." The marshal's face is probably not played. ”

"Lose face, as soon as you show up, you will be arrested."

"My lord, do you still have parents, wife and children, which emperor is in your hands?"

"No, a man has not made an inch of merit in his thirties, how can he be a home! Q: What does this do? Lee Chang-woo asked.

Liu Xiaochen said: "It's good if you don't have it, you don't have to be caught." Adults are talented and beautiful in the world, and there are few rivals, as long as there is Ling Yunzhi, why not be happy? ”

"Good fart!"

"The emperor takes turns to do it, and next year he will come to your house. As long as you have the guts, help you pull Li Qianshun off the throne and let you sit! ”

"I just want to live, and I don't want to be the emperor, let alone be the puppet of your Great Song Dynasty." Lee Chang-woo refused.

Liu Xiaochen said step by step: "My lord's words are wrong! Instead of lingering, it is better to burn your fighting spirit vigorously, people are dead and birds are facing the sky, what are you afraid of! ”

Li Changyou didn't enter the oil and rice: "Find a way to pass the Yumen Pass." ”

In the evening, the two still didn't think of any good way, and they didn't see any loopholes in the defenders. The weather at night was a little cool, and I didn't dare to light a fire, which was really difficult.

Li Changyou said: "If this door is not opened, it is a big deal that we will climb the mountain and bypass it." The road is always walked out by people. ”

Liu Xiaochen was about to say yes helplessly, when suddenly a group of officers and soldiers came over with torches. Li Changyou vigilantly lowered Liu Xiaochen's head, and the two of them didn't dare to come out. Li Changyou quietly raised his head, just in time to see that the leading general was a subordinate general who had been kind to him. After the patrol had walked thirty or forty meters, Li Changyou put his finger in his mouth and learned to make a few bird calls.

When the leading general heard the familiar bird's call, he was suspicious, stopped his steps, and said to the soldiers behind him, "You go first, and I will come with a hand." When the soldiers were far away, he turned around and walked over to the place where the bird's call had come from.

Li Changyou held Liu Xiaochen down and told him not to move, got up and walked out.

That person had long expected that it would be Li Changyou, but he didn't expect to see it with his own eyes, and he was still extremely excited. He knelt down in front of Li Changyou and said, "Marshal, I heard that you are suffering, and my brothers are very anxious about you!" ”

Li Changyou pulled him up and patted him on the shoulder: "Thank you for your concern, it will be fine." ”

"Marshal, if there is anything in the future, even if it is thousands of miles, just give an order!"

"Well, I didn't waste my care for you in the past! Can you find a way to get me out of the country? ”

The man thought for a while and said, "It's definitely not okay to go out from the closed door, and now there are many people, and it's not up to me to have the final say." Seeing Li Changyou's disappointed face, the man continued: "But I know a tunnel through the mountain, which can go straight to the outside of the customs!" ”

Li Changyou exhaled: "If you don't say it earlier, you will be surprised!" Take me there without delay! The man nodded.

Li Changyou beckoned Liu Xiaochen, and the man glanced at Liu Xiaochen in a little surprise, and without further words, he led the two of them towards the secret cave.

"Marshal, there is a cave in front, the cave is rugged and narrow, it is estimated that it will take half an hour to walk, I wish you a safe journey. I hope I can still serve under the marshal in the future! After speaking, he knelt down and kowtowed heavily to Li Changyou, "Without the marshal, there would be no me!" ”

Li Changyou sighed and said, "Cherish each other, there will be a period later!" After saying that, he took the torch from the man's hand, and walked into the cave without looking back. Liu Xiaochen bowed his hand to the man to show his gratitude, and quickly followed in.

On the other side of the mountain, there is light.
