Chapter 14 Out of the City
When the two came to the base of the city wall, Huang Feng understood the reason. I saw that on the rammed earth wall in front of me, there was a crack that was enough for one person to drill sideways!
In the past few days, Yang Chen has been drinking and staying in a wine shop not far from here, and he has also walked around the city wall with the intention of drinking, originally to find clues that the so-called thieves want to destroy the Great Wall, but only found such a gap. At that time, he also planned to report this to the county government, so that the people who repaired the city wall could make up for it as soon as possible, but he didn't want to take advantage of it today.
After looking up at the movement at the city wall above, and being sure that no one would find out that the two of them were about to leave the city, Yang Chen made a gesture to Huang Feng, and then turned sideways and rubbed out along the crack two or three feet wide.
If it's just a child or a slender woman, this gap is enough for them to easily pass through the wall. But for an adult man, especially a man with a burly figure like Yang Chen, this matter is not as easy as imagined, and it took a lot of time to have half a pillar of incense before he was able to come outside, but people looked very disgraced.
It wasn't until he saw that he was really out of the city that Huang Feng tightened his belt, took a deep breath, and squeezed out in the same posture. It's just that his lower abdomen is much more bulging than Yang Chen's, and it was fine at first, but after breathing a sigh of relief, he was a little embarrassed and stuck.
Seeing this, Yang Chen couldn't help laughing, and hurriedly stepped forward to help, and reminded in his mouth: "You take another breath and sip your ......." Huang Feng did as he said, and then he came out slowly.
Just when he had come to the edge of the rift and was about to go out, a column of water suddenly fell from the sky and fell on Huang Feng's body, and the water was still warm. When the fishy anger came together, he immediately understood that it was someone above who had urinated and was pouring himself all over.
This made him stunned for a moment, and then his face changed, and he couldn't help but scold his mother. It wasn't until the swear words came out that he realized that something was wrong, and Yang Chen in front of him also violently pulled him out of the city while changing color, which made his front chest and back rub between the cracks in the city wall, and the skin and flesh were painful, and he let out another painful snort.
These two cries immediately alarmed the person above, and immediately the man drank: "What man! "In the otherwise quiet night, the sound was extraordinarily loud, and it was heard far and wide.
"Let's go!" Yang Chen pulled Huang Feng out of the city, let out a low shout, and jumped straight forward. Huang Feng also knew that his whereabouts had been exposed, and under the bitterness in his heart, he couldn't care about the injuries on his body, so he hurried to follow.
At the same time, several torches were lit up in the city, and at the same time, the warning voice was constantly sounding: "There are spies! There are spies under the city! ”
"Quick, light the fire, light up below!" With a few shouts, a few more torches were lit, and they were thrown down the city, illuminating the original darkness of the city for a while.
But this light source was enough for the defenders at the head of the city to discover the whereabouts of Yang Chen and the others, and when they saw that someone was fleeing from the city, these people immediately became nervous: "Sure enough, it's a spy, hurry, stop them!" "At this side of the Great Wall, only the Tartar spies would flee north so late at night.
The soldiers who understood it immediately moved, some hurriedly picked up their weapons and ran down the city, and some were sober enough, and immediately picked up the bows and arrows placed at their feet, and shot sharp arrows at the backs of the two men.
Yang Chen, who was moving forward at full speed, heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air, his face suddenly changed again, and he immediately shouted: "Bend down and go to the side!" The figure's footsteps had flashed to the side. His movements were indeed fast enough, and the arrows shot at the head of the city still lacked some accuracy after all, so several sharp arrows failed to hurt him in the slightest.
And Huang Feng, at this critical moment of life and death, finally brought all his potential into play, dodged according to the way Yang Chen mentioned, and even crawled with a roll, and finally avoided these arrows without danger, just this appearance looked a little embarrassed.
Before he could catch his breath, Yang Chen reminded again: "Don't stay, keep walking!" He knew that at this time, the figures of the two of them were still within the range of the torches that had been thrown from the city, and only by leaving this section quickly could they truly ensure safety.
Sure enough, several sharp arrows chased after him, which frightened Huang Feng into exclaiming, in order to save his life, he couldn't care about anything, and flashed to the side with all his strength again, and escaped again.
By this time, the two of them were more than ten feet away from the city wall, and although they were still within the range of their bows and arrows, the torches that had thrown them down from the city could no longer illuminate their positions. And once the light is lost, the archers at the head of the city will not be able to find their target, and can only shoot indiscriminately in all directions, which does not pose a threat at all.
As for the soldiers who rushed down the city just now, they were dumbfounded at the city gate at this time. As one of the important passes in the Northland, the north gate of this partial pass has always been locked, and it is not even opened during the day.
Eventually, the men had no choice but to return to the city in a huff. Perhaps, just now they should have decisively taken ropes down the city to pursue, maybe they could catch up with these two spies who escaped from the city. But now, whether it is staying in the city or chasing down the city, they can only sigh at this time.
Because after such a delay, the two men had long since disappeared into the vast night, and now it was not even known which way the two of them had fled.
After looking at each other for a while, the leader suddenly sank his face and said to the brothers around him: "Everyone remembers, those two spies just now wanted to steal into the city, but we found out in time and stopped them. However, because we were worried that there would be fraud, we did not go out of the city to meet the enemy. ”
"Yes, what Mr. Liu said is, that's what happened!" Everyone quickly understood, and nodded yes. Only by insisting that this spy entered the city and did not escape from the city, they would not be involved, and they might even be considered meritorious. They still have this kind of mentality.
As soon as the matter was decided, a torch had already come over quickly under the city, but it was the movement here that had alarmed the Qianhu not far from here, and Lord Qianzong sent someone to inquire about the news.
At the same time, a little torch suddenly lit up in the direction of the county office, which seemed to be very chaotic, and it should have been discovered in the prison.
This night, the entire county town was in chaos, and the officials, soldiers, and yacha walked around, which frightened the people in the city for a while, and they all thought that some foreign enemy suddenly attacked the city at night.
————
When there was chaos in the county, Yang Chen and the two had already run for a long distance, and they didn't stop until they couldn't hear the sound behind them. Yang Chen was fine, but he was sweating on his forehead, while our yellow catcher was already wheezing. This breath rushed to more than three miles, and he was really a little unbearable.
After gasping for a while, Huang Feng was able to speak: "My lord, now we are really prisoners, how can this be good?" As he spoke, his face was full of panic and sorrow.
Yang Chen seemed quite calm, only to see him look up at the sparse starlight in the sky, secretly judging the direction, and said: "You don't have to be too flustered, there is always a solution to the matter." Although it is true that we are in a dangerous situation now, we will have a chance when we come out. ”
Huang Feng glanced at the other party with some puzzlement, and the doubts in his heart were even worse. If the two of them were hiding in the city, Yang Chen said that they could find clues to prove their innocence, and he would still accept it, but now that everyone has run away from the city, what else can he do? And now that they have run away from the gates, it is almost impossible to sneak back.
Yang Chen didn't explain to him in detail, he just found the right direction and pointed forward: "Let's go, let's continue on our way." ”
So far, Huang Feng has no other choice, but to follow his orders and follow Yang Chen forward, hoping that this adult can really be as sure as he said.
After walking for several miles, the two saw that the east was white, and the two saw a pine forest standing in front of them. And after seeing this pine forest, Yang Chen showed a smile on his face: "It seems that the clue left by Chen Zhigao is really right, and the thing is hidden here." ”
With confidence, his steps became faster, and he quickly ran towards the woods. Seeing this, Huang Feng had to follow closely, and opened his mouth several times to say something, but he couldn't hold back when the words came to his mouth.
Just as Yang Chen entered the forest, recalling the meaning of the note and looking for the location of the clue, he suddenly remembered something in his heart, and a trace of doubt arose. This made his footsteps stop abruptly, and then he turned around, and his eyes fell on Huang Feng's face behind him.
Huang Feng was following by himself, and Yang Chen in front of him suddenly stopped, making him almost hit his head. Now he was staring at him with strange eyes, and he felt a feeling of anxiety in his heart: "My lord, who are you?" ”
"Lao Huang, there is something I always can't figure out, and now I want to ask you." Yang Chen stared at him for a moment, his expression solemn.
"What do you want to ask?" This look made Huang Feng's heart jump for a while, and he could only say obediently.
"Before I was in prison, I fell for their calculations, and I was almost hanged by those people when I was poured medicine. But why are you okay? It stands to reason that they wouldn't make such a mistake, right? Yang Chen asked such a sentence full of suspicion, and at the same time, his hand had already pressed on the short knife that was brought out on his waist, as if as long as the other party couldn't answer clearly, he would not hesitate to make a move!
It can't be blamed that Yang Chen is so suspicious, it is really because this matter is too dangerous, and the safety of the Great Wall is involved, whether it is public or private, he must be cautious enough in this matter!
