In fact, even if they were not discovered, the Yan family was also worried about whether their line would encounter danger, but now that they met Pei Qing, this worry was no longer there, because she knew from Lu Bu that this Pei Qing was a rare figure in the world who was wise and brave, and if even he couldn't take them out of Guanzhong successfully, then no one in the world would be able to take them away.

Although Yan is just a woman, she has also heard of Pei Qing's recent achievements, not only including defeating the Xiliang Army several times, but even Pei Qing's pacification of the entire Yuzhou, she feels that even her husband Lu Bu is not necessarily stronger than the other party, so she is full of absolute confidence in Pei Qing, thinking that Pei Qing will definitely leave safely with them.

What else can Pei Qing say about this? He could only reluctantly accept this pair of uninvited guests.

At this time, I saw the leading guard said: "I didn't expect that the foot is the famous Pei Zhijun, the villain's name is Pang Shu, but a small colonel in the Chang'an garrison, when the Chang'an Cup Xiliang Army captured, the villain couldn't bear to be captured by General Lu's family, and risked death to take them in, but there has been no chance to escape, and finally yesterday evening, the villain spent a lot of money to buy off the city gate guards, and finally mixed out, originally prepared to personally escort them to gather with the Lu General Army, and now I see Pei Zhijun, I am finally relieved, In this way, the villain can return to Chang'an with confidence, and he will entrust the lady and the young lady to the envoy in the future. ”

After finishing speaking, Pang Shu and several other sergeants bowed their hands to Pei Qing, turned around and prepared to return to Chang'an.

"Pang Yishi, stay here." Pei Qing called out to Pei Qing and said to him: "Did Pang Yishi ever think that if you returned to Chang'an like this, once the matter of you letting General Lu's family away without permission was found out in the future, it was very likely that your life would not be guaranteed in the future. ”

Pang Shu sighed when he heard this, and then said: "Don't hide it, the villain did think of this, but the villain did not hesitate, my family is still in Chang'an, if I escape, they will definitely encounter accidents, and as long as I go back and take the initiative to surrender, I believe they will forgive my family." ”

"Since you know that your family members may be affected, why don't you take them with you?" Pei Qing sighed when he saw this scene and said to Pang Shu.

I saw Pang Shu smile bitterly: "The villain also knows that the family may be involved, but it will be inconvenient for us to bring the family with the family in this line, it is not a pity for the villain to die, and the two ladies cannot be affected, right?" ”

When Pei Qing heard this, he immediately sighed with emotion: "The true righteous man at his feet is also admirable, and he regards death as home, but have you ever thought that without you, how would your parents, wife and children live?" The poverty and humiliation they suffered in the second half of their lives were all caused by you. ”

Pang Shu was suddenly shocked when he heard this, and then shed tears, sighed and said: "I can't live with them, I can't fulfill the responsibilities of a son, husband and father, but where righteousness lies, someone must do it, I would rather not be able to live with my parents, wife and children, but also full righteousness." ”

"If I could give you a chance to save your life and the lives of you and your family, would you be willing to take it?"

"What?" Pang Shu was shocked when he heard this, fell to the ground in front of Pei Qingbai, and said respectfully: "If you really have a way to save the lives of my whole family, the villain is willing to break your bones and die without regrets!" ”

Pei Qing hurriedly helped Pang Shu up and said, "Don't hide it, I don't have a full confidence this time, but if you can do what I say, the chance of saving your life is seventy or eighty percent." ”

Then Pei Qing told Pang Shu: "Actually, things are simple, you don't need to turn yourself in after returning to the city, dig a basement overnight, prepare supplies and dry food, and then burn down the ground buildings to create the illusion of escape, so that almost no one can see through it." ”

"Thank you for making the king, so that the king is so affectionate, the villain remembers the five, if there is a drive in the future, the villain will be the emperor to die in retribution." Pang Shu was very happy when he heard this, and thanked Pei Qing for saying goodbye.

Pei Qing waved his hand and said: "No need to thank you, this is also what I should do for the righteous, but although all this is planned, it also depends on the will of God, so if you want to have a perfect plan, you had better place your family members separately, pay attention to this kind of placement It is best not to find acquaintances, and at the same time to settle separately, so that even if your hiding place is discovered, your family members can also be saved, and the worst can be saved, if you are caught, they will definitely interrogate the mastermind and accomplices at that time, at this time you only need to grit your teeth, If you don't confess, your life will be saved. ”

"Thank you for making the king, the villain remembers, the villain will do what the envoy said, the future is difficult, and the envoy should be careful." Pang Shu saluted Pei Qing respectfully, and then turned around and left.

Pei Qing watched Pang Shu and the others leave, was speechless for a long time, and then said: "Let's also go on the road, Zhang Ji is not a simple person, don't let him see the flaws." ”

At this time, they were no longer suitable for wearing armor, so they all took off their armor, found a place to bury them, put on the soft armor that had been prepared, and put on the cloth shirts worn by ordinary merchants, and even Yan and Ren Hongluo got off the sedan chair, sat on the ox cart full of goods, wiped dust on their faces, made themselves no longer clean and beautiful, and slowly walked towards Shang County.

Because they were replaced by ox carts, they traveled very slowly, and by the time they arrived in Shang County, it was already noon on the third day.

At this time, the news of Li Ru's killing had already spread throughout Chang'an, and Li Dao Guo Yan immediately issued an order to the generals guarding everywhere in anger, and all checkpoints must be strictly examined, and once suspicious people are found, they will be taken down immediately, and they will rather be in vain.

As an important general of the Xiliang Army, Zhang Ji, who was responsible for guarding Shang County, now also had a feeling of sadness for the dead rabbit and the fox, he personally guarded the dangerous place, carefully interrogated the past merchants, and took it down if he felt that something was wrong.

At this time, thousands of people were already crowded at the checkpoint, and most of them were running from Guanzhong to Wuguan. Because someone reported to Li Dao Guo Yan that the murderer of Li Ru was a subordinate of Xiliang Ma Teng, the generals of the Xiliang Army, Guo Yan and Fan Chou, dispatched a large army to prepare to raise a division to ask for guilt, and many people heard the news and knew that Guanzhong was about to be warned, so they flocked to Shang County, preparing to flee to the Central Plains through Wuguan.

For these fleeing people, Zhang Ji generally turned a blind eye, after all, he also knew that war would bring disasters to the people, these are small people, they can't bear the pain of war at all, and they will flee if they flee.

However, Zhang Ji will never allow the murderer of Li Ru to escape, and now the traffic arteries from Chang'an to everywhere have been blocked, especially the path from Chang'an to Ma Teng's station Huaili, which is surrounded by heavy surrounds, and even a mosquito can't fly out, but in order to avoid the murderer from mixing out from other paths, the guards everywhere are also very cautious, especially the only checkpoint county to Wuguan, which is the top priority, so Zhang Ji attaches so much importance to it, and even personally interrogates the passing merchants and the people who have fled.

"With such a scrutiny, how can we get through?" Seeing Zhang Ji's strict scrutiny, Princess Wannian couldn't help frowning, and said distressedly: "Zhao Ji and I, General Lu's wife and daughter have no way to lead, and it is definitely not easy to pass!" ”
