Now that they knew that there might be pursuers behind, the group no longer cherished the horsepower, and after hurriedly using some dry food, they accelerated all the way to the south with a prancing horse and whip. The sun had already set in the west, and the people did not stop, and they did not want to stop for a moment. Fortunately, the temperature dropped in the evening, which was refreshing.

It took another two hours until it was getting dark and he couldn't see the road ahead at all, and Jiang Wei ordered to stop. He found a piece of land near the river and rested for the night.

On the second day, as soon as it was dawn, Jiang Wei was woken up by the chirping of birds in the forest. I slept for three hours, and my spirit had recovered most of it. There was no movement behind him. But he was cautious by nature, and he was faintly uneasy in his heart, and he didn't dare to delay time, so he hurriedly woke up the rest of the people. Everyone freshened up on the riverside and hurriedly used some dry food.

Yesterday, the white horse, the black horse, and the cart-pulling horse were tied to the forest, but they gnawed a lot of grass, and now they were put by the two brothers by the river to drink bitterly, and they immediately showed that they were as alive as ever.

Everything was packed up, and the group headed south along the river valley. After a whole day's journey, he traveled about eighty miles.

This way was in a hurry, Jiang Wu only felt that his body was about to fall apart, so he had to say with a bitter face: "Young master, those Qiang people don't know that we are going south, it is possible in the south, south, and northwest, and there is no movement at the moment, I am afraid that I will not be able to catch up, why don't I stop and go again." ”

Jiang Wei saw that everyone was indeed tired, and Jiang Wen had already shown a sleepy dark color, but he was afraid that his mother and Yang were also stuffy and uncomfortable in the car, so he had to order to rest by the river for a while. It's just that the uneasiness in his heart is getting stronger and stronger.

Everyone had just rested for a cup of tea, and suddenly there was a loud noise behind them, Jiang Wei turned around and looked, only to see a flock of birds circling and chirping in the forest not far away, and they did not fall for a long time.

He hurriedly threw down the water bladder in his hand, turned over and rode Xiaobai, turned his horse and galloped to the top of a small hill, looking north.

I saw that thirty or fifty miles away, a human dragon meandered in, and I couldn't see the end at a glance, but I was afraid that there were no less than a thousand of them. But there were pursuers coming. The perched birds were alarmed by the pursuers, but they were a wake-up call to the predecessors.

Thirty miles away, while driving a carriage, on the other hand, the horse is fast and lightly equipped, and it will take two hours to catch up.

"It's finally here."

Now that the hostile situation has been confirmed, Jiang Wei's mood has calmed down. He rushed back to the resting place, Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu brothers had already packed up, and his mother and Yang had also gotten into the car, and they all looked at him inquiringly.

Jiang Mu asked, "Boyo, but are the pursuers coming?" ”

Jiang Wei replied: "Back to my mother, the pursuers have indeed arrived, and they are thirty miles away. ”

Jiang's mother suddenly got out of the car, and said resolutely with a face: "The carriage is not moving fast, because my mother is waiting." Boyo, you will give up your motherhood and go south by yourself. I only hope that you will assist the king of Hanzhong well, be a good man who is loyal to the monarch and patriotism, and after arriving in Shudi, you must spread the branches and leaves as soon as possible, and continue the incense for my Jiang family. ”

The group was stunned when they heard this. Jiang Wei held Jiang's mother's arm and said, "Mother, why did she say this, her son will be broken to pieces, and she will definitely protect the family." The reinforcements from Yangping Pass are coming, and I ask my mother to be wronged for a while. ”

Without saying a word, he helped his mother into the cart, and then took out a box from the carriage and opened it, filled with copper coins and gold and silver. This is all the savings of the Jiang family over the years, and the various rituals he received when he went to the banquet in Tianshui have a value of 100,000 yuan, and he has exchanged all of them into copper coins and fine gold and silver, and now he is full of a box.

"Ah Wen, Ah Wu, I'll throw the coins together." As soon as the words fell, he grabbed a large handful of copper coins and scattered them all over the sky. When the coin falls to the ground, the metallic hue of the surface shines brighter in the afterglow of the setting sun.

Jiang Wu's eyes widened, swallowed his saliva, and said in surprise: "The villain has never seen so much money in his life, so... Just threw it all away? ”

Jiang Wen understood Jiang Wei's intentions, and shouted: "My life is almost gone, and I still cherish my wealth like this!" You don't want to think about it, those Qiang pawns have always been poor, and when they see so much money on the road, they don't get off their horses and fight for it, so it can save us a lot of time. ”

Jiang Wei nodded and said, "Yes, that's exactly what I mean." I'm still stunned for what to do, and I don't want to help. ”

When Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu heard this, they each took a large handful of coins and covered them with their front plackets. The group hurried and threw money at the same time. Jiang Wu had never squandered it like this, and he felt pity and enjoyment in his heart, scattering coins far or near, high or low, and only scattering all kinds of coins in his hands.

Jiang Wen couldn't help but laugh when he saw him like this.

Jiang Wu blushed and argued: "Brother Mo Xiao, in a few decades, when I talk to my children and grandchildren, I said that our brothers were also generous back then, more than 100,000 dollars, and they will be sprinkled when they say it, this magnanimity, hehe, won't the descendants be envious!" ”

Jiang Wei's mind suddenly flashed the image of a fortune boy, and he couldn't help laughing. A laugh diluted the worries of the two women in the car. It took the three of them half an hour to loosen the money and things in their hands. Jiang Wu clapped his hands, quite unsatisfied.

The crowd went on without stopping, and for two more hours, they traveled thirty miles. Jiang Wei climbed to the top every half an hour to review. Xu is a plan to sell money, and in just thirty miles, the Qiang people's chasing soldiers did not shorten it, but fell farther and farther.

The sun had completely set, and the Qiang centaurs had already changed into torches and hurried, and Jiang Wei and his party naturally couldn't light the torches for fear of exposing the target, so they had to rush in the dark, so the advance was very slow.

The trail underfoot has been war-torn and in disrepair, and is full of large and small stones. The wheels of the carriage have pressed over the stones several times, and the small ones are just poured, and if the big stones are pressed, the axles will make a creaking sound, but I am afraid that the road will be bumpy, and my group has not yet been caught up, and my mother and Yang will have to break up the bones.

Jiang Wei thought for a moment, stopped Jiang Wen, who was concentrating on catching up with the car, and said, "It's dark right now, you should abandon the car." Ah Wen, you escort my mother to sit on one horse, Ah Wu, you escort Aunt Yang to sit on another horse, you light torches and leave immediately. ”

Mother Jiang said worriedly: "Boyo, how are you doing?" ”

The brothers Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu also cast concern.

Jiang Wei said to himself: "As expected, Ma Jun can arrive at Yangping Pass tonight, if everything goes well, there should be reinforcements in Yangping Pass tomorrow." Ah Wen, Ah Wu, you must be in good spirits along the way, and you must insist on until the reinforcements come to meet you, understand? I'm going to delay the enemy for a moment. ”

Jiang Mu doubted: "Boyo, you must return safely." If you don't come back, you don't want to live as a mother. ”

Jiang Wei pretended not to care, and said with a smile: "There are many enemies, I won't do anything like hitting a stone with an egg." Don't worry, I'm just setting some traps in the shadows to stop them a little. What's more, if I want to leave, I'm afraid that no one will leave me. In fact, he was very apprehensive in his heart, but he knew that he was the axis of everyone, and he must not show weakness at this time.

Xiaobai heard the master's praise, snorted, shook his head, and was very proud, which diluted everyone's parting sorrow for a while.

Jiang Wei served his mother and got on the horse, and Jiang Wenhu asked on the side: "Young master, how do you conclude that Yangping Guan will definitely send reinforcements?" If... What if..."

Jiang Wei laughed and said: "Yangping Guan is under the rule of Chuyang, and Chuyang is currently in charge of the left general Ma Chao. He had a grudge against Cao Cao, the king of Wei. It is a very happy thing for him to abandon Wei and Han, and he only needs to be sure that he will lead troops to help. This time, Ma Jun also brought a token, so I dare to conclude that he will come first. ”

Jiang Wei said it well, but it made the rest of the people sigh a long time. Jiang Wen and Jiang Wu didn't say anything more, lit torches, and galloped south.

After seeing the group leave, Jiang Wei climbed to a tree to observe the pursuers. In the distance, the Qiang brigade was armed with torches, quite like a long fire dragon. Its speed has returned to its original state, and it will be more than half an hour before it can rush here.

And this half an hour was enough for him to make a lot of preparations, he looked up at the darkening sky, and said in his heart: "The moon is dark and the wind is high, but it is really a good day to kill people and set fires." ”
