There may be local officials picking you up along the way, which is too annoying.

"Lord Guogong, there are still fifty miles ahead to Yunnan, and the road is safe and sound, which shows the good security of the Great Song Dynasty." Gao Mingchi said.

Qu Ping nodded, looked at the sky, and said, "It's getting late, let's rest at the nearest post station today!" ”

"Yes, I'll have someone contact me right away."

The post station in front received the news, and the only staff immediately got busy. When have they ever seen such a high-profile official? By the time the army arrived, the post had been kept tidy. A pig and a sheep bought from a nearby village have been slaughtered and cleaned, the fire in the kitchen has been burning, and a feast is being processed in an orderly manner.

Qu Ping greeted the county lord to rest in the room, and told the county lord: "Your Royal Highness, if you are quick tomorrow, you will enter the territory of Yunnan, and you will be able to reach Dali in a few days." The county lord will rest for the time being, and when the meal is ready, I will have someone bring it first. ”

The county lord nodded, entered the room with the maid, and then closed the door.

In the courtyard, everyone sat down at separate tables, and the dishes and meals were ready. Everyone has been getting along for a month, so naturally they won't be too angry, not to mention that the Lord Guogong has no official frame and is approachable.

Each table tried the rice with a silver needle, and after confirming that it was non-toxic, Qu Ping gave an order and came to eat it.

Yi Cheng came in with four subordinates carrying two large jars, bowed down and said, "Lord Guogong, this is the most famous wine in the local area. Thinking that it is rare for adults to come to the small post station, and they are about to enter the territory of Yunnan, the little ones deliberately take out some small filial piety, and I hope that the adults will not dislike it. ”

Qu Ping glanced at everyone, and saw that everyone wanted to feast on their saliva when they swallowed their saliva, thinking that they had never let everyone drink a sip of wine along the way, so they were really a little unhappy. Then he said, "Thank you very much!" But you can only drink one bowl per person! ”

The crowd cheered in unison. After trying two jars of good wine that were non-toxic, Gao Mingchi led someone to scoop a large bowl and present it to Qu Ping, and then distributed it to each table. Qu Ping tasted it, smacked his lips, and it was really good wine.

After everyone had eaten and drunk happily, the senior officials went to their rooms to rest. Due to the limited number of rooms in the post station, the rest of the people took turns to guard, and when they rested, they lay around the campfire on the ground.

Around the time, Qu Ping got up and planned to relieve himself, but he felt a little dizzy in his head together, thinking that he had drunk fake wine, and it stands to reason that fake wine should not be made in this era. I have also tried the silver needle and confirmed that it is non-toxic, so it should not be poisoning.

If it's a problem with alcohol, just look at how other people react.

Qu Ping pushed open the door and swept his eyes in the yard, why was there no one who was on guard! Walking out, there were a bunch of people lying around the campfire, could they all be asleep.

"Hey, get up!" Qu Ping kicked those people a few times, but there was no reaction.

Suddenly, there was a "poof" sound not far away, and Qu Ping heard the sound and saw that a soldier leaning next to the carriage had been touched by the man in black, and the dagger brought out a long string of blood in the light of the bonfire.

Qu Ping shouted: "What person? There is an enemy attack! ”

The man in black over there saw Qu Ping shouting and shouted, "Brothers, be quick, and wake up!" The four men in black jumped out and rushed straight at Qu Ping.

The situation is already very clear, he was plotted by others, but I don't know how they succeeded and poisoned so many of them. The people around the bonfire are estimated to have already returned to Huangquan.

Qu Ping pulled out a knife from a corpse, endured dizziness and staggered to the county lord's downstairs, shouting: "Hurry up and get up if you are alive, there is an attack!" ”

More than a dozen people behind him chased after him brandishing swords, and someone shouted: "This is a big fish, you must not let it go!" ”

Gao Mingchi pushed open the door from the room, took five people with weapons, and said, "My lord, you go to protect the county lord first, and I will stop it!" Gao Mingchi and the others were also hit, and they were weak, and they were just using their mantis arms as a car at this time.

Qu Ping didn't care about Gao Mingchi's life or death, and shouted while running upstairs: "County Lord, get up quickly, there is an enemy attack!" ”

Upstairs, Zhao Ping'er and the maid Xiaolan were awakened by the noise outside, Zhao Ping'er pulled her legs and was about to run out, Xiaolan grabbed her and said: "County Lord, the enemy is unknown, either rushing to send the family team, or Chong Guogong, or you, it may be your rival who wants to intercept and kill you!" ”

"What then?"

"The other party can't tell which of you and I is the county lord, you hurry up and change clothes with me, so as not to recognize your identity from your clothes!"

"And what if they recognize you as the county lord?"

Xiaolan hurriedly said: "The situation is critical now, otherwise Lord Guogong would not be so panicked and shouted." Xiaolan can sacrifice herself for the county lord, and it is not in vain that the prince and the county lord have taken care of me for many years! Xiaolan has been helpless since she was a child, and it is a great honor to be taken in by the prince and give me the surname Zhao. Even if Xiaolan is really dead, she is satisfied. Chao Xiaolan burst into tears as she spoke.

Zhao Ping'er helped her wipe away her tears and said, "Don't talk nonsense!" ”

"County Lord, it's too late, change your clothes quickly!" Zhao Xiaolan pushed Zhao Ping'er away, quickly took off her coat and handed it to Zhao Ping'er.

In addition to being moved, Zhao Ping'er knew that now was not the time to be rash, so she had to take off her clothes and exchange clothes with Xiaolan.

Zhao Xiaolan said: "County Lord, don't wear a hat, just wear a veil." ”

In this way, the enemy can tell which one is the "county lord" from the way he wears.

Zhao Ping'er and Zhao Xiaolan went out of the room and met Qu Ping wielding a knife at the top of the stairs, blocking the enemy from the bottom up. If it is usual, it must be a husband and a wife. But at this time, Qu Ping barely used two or three successful forces, where could he resist the fierce enemy?

Zhao Ping'er saw a bamboo pole lying next to her, picked it up in her hand with her toes, and flew to join the battle group. Qu Ping was already dizzy, with a spiritual support on the whole screen, and at this time, with Zhao Ping'er helping to fight, the pressure was suddenly greatly reduced. Zhao Xiaolan didn't know martial arts, so she had to squat to the side and hide, observing the battle situation at all times.

Qu Ping thought it was the maid beside the county lord, and said, "You go to protect the county lord, don't worry about me!" ”

Zhao Ping'er kept dancing with the bamboo pole in her hand, and replied: "Don't talk nonsense, take care of yourself!" Why are you so regressive? ”

Qu Ping heard that the voice was so familiar, and said, "It's you?" We're all poisoned! ”

The two worked together to repel the enemy temporarily, and at this time, the enemy saw that the other party had hard stubble to help, and the bright ones did not come to the dark, only to see them touch their arms, and hundreds of flying needles shot out between the waves.

When Qu Ping saw the enemy touch him in his arms, he knew that he was going to suffer, and there must be some powerful move. But the head was dizzy and the reaction was slow, and at this time, the body was even more disobedient, and it was too late to retreat. Fortunately, Zhao Ping'er was quick and pulled Qu Ping to the side, but there were still a few flying needles piercing Qu Ping's body.

Qu Ping felt numb on his body, and it was estimated that the flying needle had touched the poison.

Zhao Ping'er knew that there was only a way to escape, how could she dare to fight again, she pulled up Qu Ping, ran to the side and grabbed Zhao Xiaolan who was squatting in the corner, at this time, she didn't know where the strength came from, she carried Qu Ping and Zhao Xiaolan left and right, and saw that there was a haystack in the place where there were few people downstairs, she threw the two of them to the haystack, and then jumped down by herself.

The enemy behind chased after him, and when he saw Zhao Ping'er jumping down with someone, he shouted "People jumped down!" He jumped downstairs and chased after him.

The total number of enemies is only twenty-one, and after Gao Mingchi's containment, there are only about a dozen people who can continue to chase.

I don't know if Gao Mingchi and the others are dead or alive at this time.

Zhao Ping'er carried the two of them and ran wildly, fortunately, the wall of the post station was not high, she threw the two out one after the other, followed herself to turn over the wall, picked up the two and ran wildly. I don't know where she got her strength, as if she had inexhaustible strength. At this time, Qu Ping was already unconscious, his breathing was weak, and he was so weak that he was so weak that he could be carried by Zhao Ping'er.

Zhao Xiaolan was carried and ran violently, she said: "County Lord, you let me down, let me lead them away, otherwise we will all die together!" ”

Zhao Ping'er gritted her teeth and ignored it.

Zhao Xiaolan was ruthless, pushed Zhao Ping'er's arm away with her backhand, and then fell to the ground due to inertia.

Zhao Ping'er had already run out more than ten meters away in an instant, she turned around and said angrily: "What are you doing?" ”

Zhao Xiaolan got up and said calmly, "You guys go quickly, I'll lead them away." Your great grace Xiaolan will be reported again in the next life! With that, he spread his legs and ran to the other side.

Zhao Ping'er's eyes were moist, she glanced at Qu Ping who was holding it in her hand, gritted her teeth fiercely, carried Qu Ping on her shoulder, and continued to run forward.

The pursuers behind saw that the prey ran separately, and one of them said: "The woman who ran alone is gorgeously dressed, it is estimated that she is the county lord, let's go and arrest her!" Yongguo Gong is already poisonous, and it is not worth wasting time. Pursue! ”

Zhao Xiaolan ran all the way through the forest with heavy steps, her legs were almost disobedient, but the chasing soldiers behind her were coming, did she have to start like this?

Suddenly, torches lit up in front of the side, and many people rushed to this side, and the leader said: "Everyone hurry up, we must not let the prince and the county lord have trouble!" ”

When Zhao Xiaolan heard that it was the rescuers coming, she ran to the opposite side and shouted, "Hey! This way! I am the ...... of the Lord of the Great Song Dynasty" Before he finished speaking, he suddenly fell into a trap under his feet. And then he was unconscious.

When the pursuers saw that rescuers were coming, they hid in the distance and watched them fish out the "county lord" from the trap, and one of the leaders said fiercely: "It's a pity, the success is lost!" Duan Zhengxing, you dog has a very smart nose! ”

Zhao Ping'er ran out with Qu Ping, and settled down, it turned out that there were no pursuers behind him. She stopped, carefully put Qu Ping aside, and sat on the ground gasping for breath, feeling a sudden ache all over her body.

The enemy gave up chasing him, he must have chased Xiaolan, I hope Xiaolan will be fine.

The night was oppressively dark, the moonlight of the upper Xuanyue could not point out the direction at all, and a few babbling bird calls occasionally came from the forest, and I panicked when I heard it.
