At this moment, there were also a few people standing on the dock, a medium-sized ship stopped by the dock, and Shuo Feng said quickly: "Princess, please come down with your subordinates, we will take the waterway." He was at the forefront. Led the crowd straight to the docks.

As the group got out of the carriage, a man on the dock rushed to them. Passing by with Shuo Feng, the two of them nodded slightly, and Shuo Feng said concisely: "I'll leave it to you later." ”

Give him what?

Mu Qianxia's mind was still a little confused, and his heart was strange, his eyes subconsciously chased the back of the man and turned his head, only to see the man walking towards the carriage they were riding in, going up, and driving towards the upper reaches of the river for some distance, where it had just snowed yesterday and this morning, leaving an inch of snow on the ground, leaving an obvious rut on the snow at this time.

Seeing this, although Mu Qianxia's mind was still a little chaotic, he also understood Shuo Feng's plan, he planned to use this carriage to attract the attention of the people who were chasing them, and they fled in a boat along the waterway in another direction.

This is Shuofeng in the realization of the situation is not right, the crisis is dangerous, the instant to make an arrangement, and at the same time to take advantage of today's climate environment, yesterday and today are snowing, although the river is not frozen, but the floating ice and snow on the river and such a climate is not actually conducive to boating, but Shuofeng just went the opposite way, using the weather and people's habitual psychology to create an illusion.

Mu Qianxia didn't want to think about it, so he was sent to the boat with a pull, and Shuofeng and the other three or four people on the dock also walked with them, except for the person who left with the carriage using himself as bait, there was also one person left on the dock to be responsible for the aftermath. He lifted a bamboo basket from the dock, full of snow, from which the man scooped up the snow as the boat moved, carefully reversing to cover up the messy footprints near the pier.

After a while, the footprints near the pier were hidden, as if no one had visited.

The man retreated as he sprinkled the snow, and when he reached the place where the carriage had stopped, he pulled out a branch from behind him, and the carriage had stopped here, and there would inevitably be some different marks, so he had to be more careful.

As he was cleaning, he saw two brightly colored red beans left in the snow, like two drops of blood dripping from his heart, condensing in the cold ice and snow.

He carefully picked up the red beans and pursed his lips, uneasy emotions welling up in his heart.

…………

Originally, a few people on the dock were in charge of rowing, and the cold wind blew their rough hands redder and redder, but no one was lazy to dodge and save their strength, the boat was originally going down the water, and it was even more smooth sailing in this way, and after a while, when the boat traveled about half a mile, Shuofeng's tense face relaxed slightly. He walked up to the bow of the boat and sat down with his back to the direction of the cold wind, so that he had time to think carefully about the gains and losses of the previous arrangement.

Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching, and when he turned his head, it was Mu Qianxia who walked out of the cabin and walked towards him. Shuo Feng hurriedly got up and saluted, Mu Qianxia waved his hand, sighed and said: "Shuo Feng, you don't have to be so respectful, it stands to reason that I want to thank you for saving my life just now." ”

Shuo Feng said solemnly: "The princess must not say that, it is really a torment to the subordinates, and the subordinates can't afford it, all of this is the prince's clever arrangement." "His wisdom is almost all taught by Gu Li. Now it is only fitting that it is performed because of Gu Li.

Mu Qianxia smiled and said, "I naturally know what you said, but he is him, I am me, you saved me, how could I not thank you." ”

Shuo Feng didn't dare to take credit, but said: "Princess, we can't completely escape from danger now, we have to wait a few days, and when we reach the Dark Moon Tower, we will be truly safe." ”

Mu Qianxia knew that he was far less good at this than Shuo Feng, so he humbly asked: "So in your opinion, which route should we take now?" ”

Shuo Feng thought for a while, and said with a wry smile: "In fact, there is no specific conclusion on which route to take, but the subordinates are afraid that they will only make such a pretense and cannot completely deceive them." ”

After half a day of boating, Shuofeng let Mu Qianxia abandon the ship and go ashore and take the land route, while the boat was continued to move forward by the other two people, and the golden cicada was shelled out of its shell with two tricks, Shuofeng was a little relieved, he and Mu Qianxia came to the nearest town, bought horses and carriages, and continued to embark on the journey.

Even if the other party saw through him for the first time, the golden cicada came out of its shell, and his mind was relaxed, he was afraid that he would chase him along the waterway and go southeast, and he would not suspect that they had changed their route again.

The diet along the way was simple, and even the resting place was very casual, basically sleeping and resting in the carriage, but Mu Qianxia only endured silently without saying a word, even if he was slightly uncomfortable, he hid it so as not to drag everyone down.

Mu Qianxia and the others trekked in the direction of the Dark Moon Tower, in order to avoid being chased and killed by Gu Chenjing on the official road, they chose to take the mountain road as much as possible, but about two days later, the nightmare-like figure reappeared in front of their eyes.

This is the intersection of a narrow mountain road halfway up the mountain, Gu Li's junior brother squatted on a big stone in front of him, his black clothes had been dyed with wind and dust, and the hem of his clothes that had cut a little bit of space hung naturally from the sides of his body, covering the residual snow on the stones.

He held an extremely bright red bean in his fingertips, the coldness on his face mixed with fatigue, although Mu Qianxia and the others had a hard time escaping, it was obviously not easy for him to chase and kill.

But no matter what, he caught up.

How the hell did he find here?

The group looked at each other, Mu Qianxia smiled bitterly, and Shuo Feng's face was like death.

Shuo Feng is good at planning and arrangement, as for the force, although it is also very good, there is still a gap compared with Gu Li's junior brother. Seeing him appear in front of them, Shuo Feng's heart was filled with despair.

Although he was so desperate, he still didn't forget his duty, and pushed Mu Qianxia back with his backhand, Shuo Feng pulled out the sword at his waist, and greeted the person who was blocking the road in front of him, and said in his mouth: "Princess, please run away." ”

It was only a moment, and he had already made up his mind to use his life to stop him for a while, but he really didn't have confidence in how long he could stop him, and as for what happened after his death, he really couldn't do anything.

I saw that the man didn't care about the red bean, drew his sword with his backhand and slashed towards Shuofeng, seeing that the sword wind was coming, Shuofeng tried his best to block it, and suddenly a figure flashed in front of his eyes, and he looked at it again, but saw that it was Liuli holding a black short sword, blocking the man's long sword.

Liulitou shouted without looking back: "Hurry up and take the princess out of here!" Come on! Before the second sentence was finished, Liuli's voice suddenly froze, nervously parrying the long sword stabbed by the other party, and there was no leisure to speak.

Shuo Feng looked left and right, to make sure that the other party was coming alone, and there were no other pursuers, he gritted his teeth, turned to Mu Qianxia and said, "Princess, please come with me." "You can't waste this moment of time that Liuli has earned.

Soon, Liuli couldn't resist, although she kept dodging, but there were still a lot of injuries on her body, blood continued to drip down the wounds, falling on the snow-white ground like a gorgeous flower.

As soon as Shuo Feng saw this situation, he knew that Liuli was not an opponent and would not last long, so he was even more anxious, urging Mu Qianxia and said, "Princess, please don't delay, run away quickly." ”

Mu Qianxia froze in place, her feet as if they had taken root, and she couldn't move.

In the past, when I watched novels and television, I often saw such a situation, where the protagonist was chased and killed by two or more people, and the pursuers arrived. One of them or a group of people stepped forward to resist desperately, shouting "You go" to the most forceless or important person left, determined to sacrifice themselves in exchange for the man's escape. But the man cried and shouted and stood still and refused to leave, and as a result, everyone was caught and captured or killed.

Whenever she saw such a bridge, Mu Qianxia would be a little disdainful, and secretly scolded that it was useless for the person to stay, and she wasted the sacrifice of her companions in vain, and even compensated herself, but when she encountered the same situation, she didn't know how she should take a step.

Walking on the road of survival paved by the blood of her loved ones, even if she can finally escape death, will she be able to live with peace of mind?

His heart burned to dryness, Mu Qianxia's eyes turned, glanced at Shuo Feng, hooked his lips, laughed at himself, and said, "Escape? Where to go? ”

Looking at Shang Mu Qianxia's gaze, it was a gray and desperate look that had already accepted his fate, Shuo Feng was stunned. He said quickly: "Princess, please forgive your subordinates for being rude." After speaking, he bent down, crossed Mu Qianxia's waist with one hand, carried her whole person on his shoulder, and walked quickly towards the road she came.

When I came, I passed a mountain, and the mountain was the best place to hide, and if you fled there, you would have a better chance of survival.

Over there, Liuli caught a glimpse of Mu Qianxia being taken away by Shuofeng, so she finally put her mind at ease and concentrated on dealing with him. The other party was not in a hurry to pursue, and sneered: "I don't know what I can do."

Seeing that he didn't pursue Mu Qianxia, Liuli was relieved that Mu Qianxia was so good to her, and now she finally found an opportunity to do something for her. Although the wounds on her body continued to increase, she had a happy look on her face.

The other two people who accompanied him also pulled Man Rou to chase after him, and after getting out of Gu Li's junior brother's sight, they immediately turned a corner, and saw that there was an intersection divided into three lanes on the road, one of which was Shuo Feng who took Mu Qianxia to go, and the other two entourages and Man Rou looked at each other when they walked to the intersection, and one of them carried Man Rou and chose the remaining two lanes respectively.

They did this to leave similar traces, so that the pursuers couldn't tell which way Mu Qianxia left from, and also to narrow down Mu Qianxia's target.

Manrou covered her mouth in fright, she screamed and struggled, and the man below her, unable to bear to entangle with a little maid, reached out and covered her mouth strongly, and followed her down the other path.

However, after they had gone their separate ways, a bright red bean lay quietly on the fork in the road, looking very delicate against the white snow.
