In the north of the Daimyo's Mansion, a hundred miles away from the Song Liao border pass in an unknown town for a night, early in the morning, Zhu Niang was carried into the carriage by the scholar who looked quite handsome, and then the scholar also got into the carriage, and the coachman who looked honest and honest shouted, and drove the carriage to the north.

Zhiyuan took Zhu Niang on the official road, so there were a lot of pedestrians along the way, and there was a caravan of more than 100 people not far behind them, it seemed that the goods were very valuable, and there were many guards on horseback.

Zhang Bin came to the Daimyo Mansion as early as two days ago, and then spent a day and a night analyzing and judging all the intelligence news sent by the Pacification Division, local governments, the military, and civil gangs, and finally according to all the information collected by the Pacification Division, the Zhiyuan Monk finally came up with the seven most likely routes for the Zhiyuan Monk to return to Liao.

Six of the routes are relatively remote paths, two are even steep mountain roads, it stands to reason that these six routes are the most likely routes for the Zhiyuan monk to choose, but Zhang Bin after careful consideration, chose the seventh route, which is also the most unlikely route for the Zhiyuan monk under normal circumstances - the official road.

The so-called "dark under the lamp", the more dangerous the place, the safer, this sentence is naturally problematic, too absolute and extreme, but it is a certain truth, or there is a premise, such as must ensure that the light is indeed dark.

For the Zhiyuan monk, if he has a big bald head, or walks on the official road with an undressed bamboo girl, he will naturally be sent to the door to find death, but after he and Zhu Niang have dressed up, it is completely inconsistent with their real characteristics, so they are "black under the lamp".

Because there are too many people coming and going on the official road, whether it is the government or the local heroes, it is impossible for everyone to check very carefully, but it is a remote road, and there are relatively few people in the past, and it is easy to be indiscriminately attacked by the military or local green forest gangs and other forces, or in line with the idea of preferring to kill by mistake rather than let go, and be exposed in confusion.

………

Zhang Bin took the four masters of the Great Song Dynasty and a hundred soldiers under his command, disguised as ordinary van soldiers, and guarded a must-pass place on the official road - a mountain crossing.

It was not only Zhang Bin and his group who guarded this mountain pass, a thousand steps in front of them, but also another pass set up by the government, which was guarded by the local county commander with more than 300 van troops and more than 20 head hunters.

And some of the nearby field roads where horse-drawn carriages cannot be walked, and there are many ruffians and green forest men roaming nearby, just to try their courage, not to mention catching the bald donkey of Zhiyuan, and rescuing the bamboo girl who is now a household name, even if they can provide useful news to the government or the military, they can get a heavy reward.

There is no way, this time the Son of Heaven decreed, and the reward given by the court was too heavy, so heavy that many people who didn't know the reason for this matter were secretly talking about the bamboo girl who was lost in the people today, and she was a veritable princess.

Even many ordinary people and green forest gangs have begun to call Zhu Niang like this, and some martial arts heroes who think they are handsome are even heroes to save the beauty, and then they were fell in love with the princess at first sight, and secretly made a private decision for life, and finally forced the emperor Lao Tzu to marry the princess to him, so as to become rich and rich, and become the dream of the Great Song Dynasty.

At noon, when the sun was shining brightest and the weather was warmest, a carriage came and was stopped at the pass set up by the government on the other side of the mountain road in front.

The government acted extremely domineeringly, and ordered the people in the carriage to get down, and the seriously ill lady in the carriage was also hugged by the scholar, and the lady tilted her head and drooled, and was visited by someone and sent back to the carriage.

After carefully comparing the portraits of the coachman, the scholar and the lady, several catchers carefully inspected the carriage, and the roof and the bottom of the carriage were the first places to be checked.

As a result, there was naturally no problem, and the carriage was let go under the disappointed eyes of the crowd of hunters and van soldiers.

Compared with the people of the people, the officials or soldiers in the government system provide information or rescue people with heavier rewards, and the soldiers who do not have officials can directly get officials, and those who have official qualities can be promoted to two levels, so the people in the government are more motivated.

Turning over a mountain, the carriage was stopped by Zhang Bin and his party at the other end of the mountain road.

Li Siwa is the most familiar with Zhu Niang in a group of people under Zhang Bin's command, so he led people to conduct a preliminary search or inspection of people passing by, and then Zhang Bin conducted a second detailed investigation.

When the driver lifted the curtain of the carriage, Li Siwa saw the woman in her thirties with a sallow face, tilted her head and drooling, and obviously had a stroke, and her face was disappointed.

As for the scholar and coachman in his forties next to him, he also looked carefully, not the Zhiyuan monk.

He sighed, and was about to turn around, when suddenly he saw the woman crying as she looked at him, and she seemed to be crying very sadly, and tears flowed down her face.

"Let the officials laugh, the villain's wife is seriously ill and is about to die, and she has been washing her face with tears along the way." The scholar hugged Li Siwa and said slowly with a sad face.

Li Siwa nodded and was about to turn around, but suddenly found that the woman's eyes were somewhat familiar, and the look of anxiety in her eyes had clearly reached the extreme.

"No......" Li Siwa's face changed, and she cried out in a lost voice.

But before he could say anything, the scholar suddenly moved, and slammed his fist into his face.

Although Li Siwa is in her forties and has not practiced martial arts, she is a veteran of the Northwest Frontier Army Dashun City who has fought for a lifetime.

With a roar of rage, he crossed his arms and blocked the scholar's fist.

With a "bang", the fists and arms touched, Li Siwa only felt a strong force, a huge pain came from the arm, and there was a faint clicking sound.

Li Siwa knew that he had broken a bone, and his body flew out involuntarily.

The two soldiers on both sides of Li Siwa were taken aback, reacted quickly, and at the same time drew their knives and slashed at the coachman.

Unexpectedly, the coachman turned out to be a martial arts master, and at the same time as the Zhiyuan monk in the carriage did it, he had already done it, and the whip in his hand was like a snake, wrapping around the necks of the two soldiers.

The faces of the two soldiers changed greatly, and they collected their knives and slashed at the whip, but the whip was retracted suddenly, and the two of them cut it empty, not to mention, the whip was heavily whipped on the horse, and the carriage had already shot out like an arrow from the string.
