Seven hundred and eighty-nine luck
After the sun set, Xiao Ruxun asked Ma Hu to extinguish the fire.
In order to avoid trouble, Ma Hu and the returning Chu Ying and Xu Yong together, the three of them soaked in urine to extinguish the fire, and then destroyed the traces of the fire with all hands and feet, and destroyed all the traces of digging and digging pits, and then a group of people took advantage of the dark night to grope their way with a little moonlight.
"Shiro, why don't we take the sea route? It is a bit dangerous to take the river road, after all, the canal is full of grain boats, and we have no road guide, if we are discovered, we will have nowhere to run. ”
Ma Hu was a little incomprehensible to Xiao Ruxun's approach of getting off the canal from Zhangjiawan Wharf, going south to the canal, and then looking for an opportunity to take a sea boat south from the south.
In his opinion, it would be good to go south directly by sea boat, and he didn't have to worry about being hunted down on the sea, after all, the sea was so big, how could those people in the imperial court compare to them who fought at sea all year round?
"This is not Burma, nor is it south, Tianjin Wei does not have the sea ship you need, and how many people do we need to drive a sea ship that can withstand wind and waves? We're only left with ...... Four people......"
Speaking of this, Xiao Ruxun's heart throbbed, and he didn't say any more.
Ma Hu Chu Ying and Xu Yong were also silent and did not speak.
As had happened before, only the four of them had escaped, while the others had all died in a dastardly coup.
There are fifty people in the personal guard, and only three people are left, Ma Hu Chu Ying and Xu Yong, and they are not comfortable in their hearts.
Xiao Ruxun settled down and looked at the last three people around him.
Ma Hu won't talk about it, the captain of the pro-guard team, loyal, Xu Yong won't say it, the captain of the pro-guard team, a refugee in Guanzhong, loyalty is needless to say, as for Chu Ying, Xiao Ruxun didn't expect Chu Ying to survive, maybe it's really fate.
At the moment, there are only four of them left, and according to what Liu Huangshang said, he will try his best to buy time and give Xiao Ruxun and the others a chance to escape south, but there are still problems.
That's what Ma Hu said, they don't have a way.
Lu Yin This thing is very strict in the Hongwu Dynasty, but I have to say that any good system will become scattered after a long time, not to mention the current Ming Dynasty natural disasters and man-made disasters, a large number of displaced people are too displaced, there is no Lu Yin, it is a very normal thing, the imperial court can't control it at all.
At this time, Lu Yin naturally has no money to use.
In addition, it is normal for these merchants to be too late to issue road guides in order to hurry up and do business, and it is more convenient to stuff a sum of money to the officials who pass the customs than to guide them.
After this year, the news of the influx of a large number of refugees in the Jingshi area should be known all around Jingshi, so Xiao Ruxun thought that he would use the identity of a refugee in Guanzhong to find some merchant ships that needed to carry goods and go, and make up a story to the shipowners and merchants, saying that they were desperate and wanted to go to the south to find a way to live, to work, to beg for food, but not to be paid, and to ask him to take them to the south.
When he arrived in the south, Xiao Ruxun had a way, he knew that several cities in the south had Burmese merchant ships to and fro to do business and buy goods, and when he got there, he could find his own people, and then return to Myanmar as quickly as possible.
When Liu Huangshang helped them escape, he also prepared civilian rags for them to change into to facilitate their escape, and now they are wearing ordinary clothes, that is, their bodies are relatively strong, and they don't look like refugees who have eaten a meal without a meal, which is a bit difficult to do.
In just a few days, it is impossible to reach the point of yellow skin and thin muscles, Xiao Ruxun can only get some dust and dirt on his body, and make himself disgraced, and now he can be regarded as a little refugee.
However, Chu Ying's head had a problem again, there was no hair on his head, but there was a rat tail dragged on the back of his head, and he was so angry that Ma Hu was about to cut off the money rat tail on the spot, Chu Ying held his head and said desperately that he couldn't, and in the end, Xiao Ruxun compromised and asked Chu Ying to wrap his head tightly in a cloth.
Anyway, there are many people who do this in this era.
Just try your luck!
As it turns out, sometimes it really depends on luck to keep going.
Xiao Ruxun and the others walked around the bustling Zhangjiawan Wharf openly without attracting much attention, the wharf was busy with freight, and there were coolies and supervisors carrying goods everywhere.
Xiao Ruxun asked Ma Hu to go around the area, and Ma Hu said that many people were discussing the sound of the capital the night before, but no one knew what happened.
Xiao Ruxun thought about it for a while, considering Shen's consistent blockade of the capital, at this time, the specific news of the coup d'état in Jingshi should not have begun to spread to the outside world.
They still have a chance.
made a decision immediately, Xiao Ruxun immediately found a few teams that were recruiting coolies, and then mixed into a certain team, squeezed out a simple and simple smile to explain the problem of the four of them to the recruiter, saying that there was really no way to survive here, and he just wanted to go to the south to eat and not need money.
When the owner of the ship recruited the workers saw that they were tall and seemed to be a little energetic, and heard them say that they didn't want money but food, they felt that they were not at a loss, and they didn't ask much, let alone ask them if they had any guides, so they agreed.
The four of them successfully mixed into a merchant fleet composed of three ships, the destination of this caravan was Zhenjiang Mansion, Xiao Ruxun totaled, just right, so he carried the goods for an hour, and then followed the fleet to board the ship smoothly.
The owner of the ship saw that the four of them seemed to be people with a little strength, so he gave one of them a wooden stick and said that he would add some food to them and let them follow to escort the ship, Xiao Ruxun immediately nodded and agreed.
After the fleet left the port and entered the river, Xiao Ruxun stood at the stern of the boat and looked into the distance, and suddenly heard a commotion from there, I didn't hear what it was, anyway, there were many people who were making noise.
Perhaps the specific news of the coup d'état in the capital has only now reached here.
"The movement of the night before yesterday was not small at all, and the people who came from there said that they saw a lot of soldiers going to the capital, and it seems that there are still many roads blocked, and I don't know what happened."
"It's not a trivial matter, it's the capital, if something happens, it's definitely not a trivial matter, fortunately, we go fast, otherwise I don't know what disaster to cause, this trip is over, I won't come to the north this year, it's not stable."
"Who's to say it isn't? The war in Shanxi has just ended, and the imperial court has only held a ceremony to sacrifice prisoners, so it has only been stable for a few days, and then something happened again? I don't know when we will be able to live in peace, so let's do a good business. ”
"Let's go south and do business! Although things are a little more expensive in the south, but safe, these days, it's not enough to have money, you have to have a life to spend, even if you have money at that time, but what's the use of having no life? ”
"Makes sense! What's the use of asking for money if it's gone? ”
The owner of the ship stood at the bow of the ship and talked to a man who probably looked like a settler on some heavy topics.
Xiao Ruxun was silent.
At this moment, he can only sigh at his good luck, but what else can he do?
Getting out of such a situation can really only be described as luck.
