Chapter 1271: Break and Break
Of course, Shi Yuan didn't want to run along the official road, not to mention whether the other party would catch up, this official road leads directly to the riverside, if he didn't change the road, it would be a dead end. This is just to get Old Man Kong out.
Xu Yunpiao was quiet, and the silence made people feel that she was not afraid at all, thinking that Shi Yuan would definitely be caught. Shi Yuan set up the carriage like this, listening to the sound of horses' hooves behind him, but he breathed a deep sigh of relief in his heart: It seems that Old Man Kong should be safe......
The road conditions in the south of the Yangtze River are a little unclear in Shiyuan, and the road conditions in the north of the Yangtze River are even more confused. All the merchant ships that came out of Yangzhou, whether they went to Xishu or the Central Plains, had to cross the river. After crossing the river, there is a fork in the road not far from the river, one to the north, leading to Chongzhou, and the other to the west, leading to Shu and other places.
Although the south of the Yangtze River is separated from Shudi, there are heavy mountains and mountains in the middle, and if you take the waterway, the water on the river is flowing rapidly, and it is not easy to walk. As a result, most of the big merchants crossed the river from Yangzhou, then took the dry road to the west, and finally crossed the river into Shu...... went around in a big circle like this, but just to seek stability.
Further along the official road that Shi Yuan took at this time, he could just see the official road to Shu - he had heard Qin Hongmian talk about this road before. That's what he's thinking about at this time.
Shi Yuan had studied as a coachman with Lao Li for a day before, and Lin Yingyue assigned him this errand at that time. Although he heard a lot of Lao Li say a lot at the time, he had never done it specifically, and now it was an opportunity. But as far as the current situation is concerned, what Lao Li taught him is useless, he only needs to wave the whip in his hand.
Shi Yuan was afraid that he would not be able to catch up with the road to Shu, so the other party caught up, listening to the sound of horses' hooves behind him becoming more and more obvious, he even thought about abandoning the car and running away for a while. But reason eventually made him give up this idea.
Fortunately, he was lucky, and by the moonlight, he finally saw the fork in the road ahead. Then he pulled the reins, slowing the carriage to a halt at a fork in the road.
Seeing that Shi Yuan slowed down, Xu Yunpiao, who had been muttering in her heart, couldn't help but get nervous, she knew that the fork in the road ahead was the official road to Shudi.
"Could this shameless bandit be sent by Shudi? Yes! It must be so! Nanqing is now unable to protect himself, and it is useless to send people...... But why did this shameless bandit stop?
"Get out of the car!" Xu Yunpiao was thinking in his heart, but he heard Shi Yuan shouting in his ears.
"Huh?" Xu Yunpiao was a little surprised, and thought that he was distracted and heard it wrong.
"I said get out of the car!" Shi Yuan repeated it again.
This guy isn't trying to execute me here, is he? But with so much effort, why do you have to do it here? It doesn't make sense at all. Xu Yunpiao thought in his heart, but still got out of the car.
Shi Yuan saw her get out of the car, so he moved the body and let the horse just head towards the official road leading to Shudi, and then he also got out of the car.
"Brother, I'm sorry." After getting out of the car, he didn't pay attention to Xu Yunpiao, but said a word to the horse pulling the cart. This kind of behavior made Xu Yunpiao a little stunned for a while.
Although Xu Yunpiao's ancestral broken sword was broken, she was still holding half of it at this time. Looking at Shi Yuan's strange behavior, she was still in a daze, but when she saw Shi Yuan, she walked in front of her: "Give me the sword." ”
Hearing that Shi Yuan wanted the only half of the severed sword left in her hand, she couldn't help but tighten her heart, hugged the sword to her chest, and asked vigilantly, "You...... What do you want me to do with this sword? ”
"Bring it!" Shi Yuan didn't explain, and stretched out his hand to ask.
"Don't give it!" There is only half of this broken sword left, and of course Xu Yunpiao refuses to give it.
"Okay! It's okay not to give it, do you have a dagger or something like that? Give me. "Shi Yuan doesn't have the effort to spend here, if the other party catches up, it will be troublesome.
Speaking of which, Xu Yunpiao only has this broken sword on her body, and she really doesn't have any other sharp weapons...... "I have a hairpin here, okay?" After hesitating for a long time, seeing that Shi Yuan was about to be patient, she said resignedly.
"Bring it!"
"This hairpin is the dowry left to me by my mother, you can't use it to destroy it......" It seems that this hairpin has a very important meaning to Xu Yunpiao, so at this time, she is wearing a military uniform, so she will take this hairpin. muttering in his mouth, he took out the hairpin, and Shi Yuan "snatched" it.
"What a hassle! I'll pay you back one later! ”
"Give me back...... What are you doing? Xu Yunpiao listened to Shi Yuan's words, and then realized that he might not be able to see this hairpin. I wanted to ask what was going on, but it was too late......
Shi Yuan walked to the horse's side, then suddenly picked up the hairpin in his hand and stabbed it towards the horse's buttocks...... The hairpin is a fine silver hairpin, extremely sharp, and it pierces directly into the body of the horse.
There was a long neigh, and then the horse ran straight out, still carrying the silver hairpin.
"You...... You bastard! Thou hast destroyed my sword and hast lost my hairpin...... I'll kill you. Shi Yuan looked at the carriage that was rushing out and smiled proudly, while Xu Yunpiao was crazy. With a shout in his mouth, he raised his short sword and slashed towards Shi Yuan.
Xu Yunpiao, who was in a frenzy, came with a sword and no rules at all. Shi Yuan took out the dagger and blocked it, which was already a broken sword, and this was another one......
"I said, your ancestral sword is a little too bad, isn't it? It can't be fake, right? Looking at the sword that was cut off by himself again, Shi Yuan laughed and teased.
As for Xu Yunpiao, looking at the broken sword that was broken again, he finally couldn't help but squat on the ground and cry......
"I'm going to cry later! Come with me! The sound of horses' hooves was already close to his ears, Shi Yuan didn't have time to delay, and he didn't care about Xu Yunpiao, who was squatting on the ground crying, he directly picked it up, and walked towards another fork in the road.
The hairpin was stuck on the horse, and it could be said that the more he ran, the more painful it was, and the more he ran, if these pursuers saw the traces, they would definitely chase the carriage. By the time they caught up with the carriage, they had already escaped.
Shi Yuan originally planned to let Xu Yunpiao sit in the carriage and get out of the carriage by himself. But after thinking about it, this Xu Yunpiao has a "deep hatred like the sea" with herself, if she is released, she will definitely bring someone to find her. Rather than this, it is better to take her with her, and she is finally a hostage.
The plan went well, and the group of pursuers chased towards the official road of Shudi. But you can't be careless, this is just a suspicious strategy, if the other party finds out, sooner or later it will be chased...... At the moment, it is imperative to get in touch with Qin Hongmian and the others as soon as possible!
