Meng E whispered, "Hide." ”

Han Ruzi looked at it, the temple was very small, there was really no place to hide, only half of the door panel was still in place, he turned to the back of the door and stood against the wall.

He had a complete plan in mind for how to regain the throne, but he couldn't do it like a god, let alone calculate every step properly, the broken temple, soldiers, etc. were not in his expectations, and he could only take one step at a time.

No one in the capital knows Meng E, who is wearing men's clothes, maybe she can really send the newcomer away.

Meng E took a few steps back, just in time to see Han Ruzi behind the door, and the person who walked opposite her could only see the dilapidated door panel even if he turned around.

The sound of horses' hooves passed by the door, and Han Ruzi was just a little relieved, and suddenly remembered that there were three stagecoaches outside, and it was impossible for anyone who came not to notice.

The sound of horses' hooves quickly weakened, more than a dozen soldiers dismounted and walked in the snow, and Han Ruzi saw a figure flash in through the crack in the door.

"Who are you? Where did it come from? Where to go? The comer asked.

"I'm a soldier of Shenxiong Pass, and I'm going to the capital to deliver a letter." Meng E replied, even Han Ruzi couldn't hear that it was a woman.

"You're alone?"

"Hmm."

"How come there are three horses out there?"

Du Chuanyun walked to check the terrain, and the three horses were left outside the temple, and Meng E said, "Change to ride." ”

The visitor was silent for a while, "One person with three horses, you sent an urgent letter?" ”

"Hmm."

"It's still a while before dark, why don't you hurry to leave, why are you stopping here?"

Explaining this key issue, maybe he could persuade the future to leave, Han Ruzi wanted to hear what Meng E had to say, but it turned out to be beyond his expectations, and it scared the officer even more.

Meng E pondered for a while, probably unable to think of a suitable reason, she opened the placket of her robe and pulled out the knife.

"Y-What do you want to do?" The officer immediately retreated, his figure blocked the crack in the door, and he also pulled out his sword, and the soldiers outside the temple ran to support.

It turned out that Meng E's final solution was to use the knife, and the position she was standing in was very clever, and at most two or three people from outside came in at the same time, and she could not surround her.

As a martial arts master, Meng E was fully qualified, and Han Ruzi believed that she had even thought of a plan to kill all the more than ten soldiers, but as a coverer, she really failed.

Han Ruzi couldn't hide anymore, strode out from behind the door, stretched out his hand and said, "Let's move slowly." ”

The officer was startled again, several soldiers had already taken the opportunity to enter the temple, arranged in a fan shape, each holding a waist knife, Meng E sighed softly, and put the knife back into the sheath, for her, the best time was fleeting.

The officers and soldiers were a little relieved, but the knife was not withdrawn, and the officer looked at the new person a few times, "Who are you?" ”

"Together, we set off from Shenxiong Pass to deliver a letter to the capital."

"You ......"

Han Ruzi didn't wait for the other party to ask, and replied directly: "What we sent was not an official document, it was a private letter, I didn't expect that Baiqiao Town would be guarded by the brothers of the Southern Army, and I couldn't figure out what was going on for a while, so I stayed in the temple for the time being." ”

The officer lowered his sword, "To whom did you send a private message?" ”

Han Ruzi's face was embarrassed, "This ...... It's a private message from Lord Zuocha Yu Shi Xiao. ”

"To whom?"

"I just said that it was sent to the house, and I don't know anything else."

The officer motioned, and the five soldiers in the temple also lowered their swords in their hands, but still refused to retract their sheaths.

"Since you're on official business, what are you nervous about? Let's cross the bridge, no one will stop you, the southern army is stationed in Baiqiao Town to beware of the surrounding mobs, you have come all the way from Shenxiong Pass, and you have encountered a lot of things, right? ”

"Alas, it's hard to say, to be able to get here safely, it's all about prudence, and a little luck, so when I walked to Baiqiao Town, I was a little scared when I saw a lot of people."

"Haha, what are the officers and soldiers afraid of? Let's go, I'll give you a ride, just the two of you, there is no third? ”

"There is another one in the town, who will be back later, and we will wait here, and we will not work with your brothers."

The officer seemed to be persuaded and put away his sword, and the soldiers inside and outside the temple also put away their weapons.

"In that case, we won't have much to do. You don't have to be afraid, when you get here, you are already at the feet of the Son of Heaven, and there is a southern army guarding you to keep you safe, just hurry. ”

Han Ruzi let out a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "With your words, I will rest assured, when my companion comes back, we will immediately cross the bridge, find a shop to stay, and be able to enter Beijing early tomorrow morning to deliver the letter to Lord Xiao's mansion." ”

The two sides bowed hands and said goodbye politely, and the officers led the men on their horses and continued to patrol along the official road, but one soldier turned around and returned to Baiqiao Town.

Han Ruzi watched the soldiers go away, turned to Meng E and said, "He doesn't believe me. ”

"Hmm." Meng E didn't talk much.

"Leave the robes and the horses behind, let's go find Du Chuanyun."

Meng E didn't ask much, took off the robe and put it on the incense table, Han Ruzi went outside to get two helmets, pressed the robe, and waited until it was a little darker, looking from the outside, it looked like two people sitting side by side.

"Let's go. Uh, can you find Du Chuanyun? "Han Ruzi can come up with ideas, but he can't track them.

Meng E nodded, took the lead out of the temple, and walked towards the depths of the woods, both of them were wearing light leather armor, and the burden was not heavy.

The woodland is difficult to walk, Han Ruzi looked at the footprints behind him, and sighed: "If only I could walk through the snow without a trace." ”

Du Chuanyun once demonstrated the light skill of stepping on snow without a trace in the Hou Mansion, although he couldn't run too far, but sometimes it was still very useful.

"I'll carry you." Meng E said.

Han Ruzi immediately shook his head, "I just said casually, even Du Chuanyun will leave footprints, look, the front is, anyway, it will be dark soon......"

"You're walking too slowly, I can't track it after dark." Meng E turned sideways.

Han Ruzi still shook his head, although Meng E is a man, she is a real woman in his eyes, "I'll speed up my pace." ”

Meng E turned her head to look at him, and there was a hint of reproach in her quiet eyes, as if to say how could such a twisted person be the emperor?

"Okay." Han Ruzi couldn't stand this kind of supervision-like gaze, walked behind Meng E, and stretched out his hand to put it on her shoulder.

Han Ruzi is about the same size as Meng E, and her weight is almost the same, Meng E supported him with both hands, picked him up, and ran forward in small steps, neither stepping on the snow without a trace, nor was the speed very fast, but soon after, Meng E showed her ability, she was like walking on the ground in the snow, although she left footprints on the ground, but she never fell into it, the speed was not fast, but she could always maintain it, and she could always avoid the branches in time.

The sunlight gradually faded, and the footprints left by Du Chuanyun on the ground came and went, and it was even more difficult to identify at this time, but Meng E did not slow down, she seemed to roughly guess the direction of Du Chuanyun's advance.

When night fell, Meng E finally stopped, and Han Ruzi whispered, "I can come down." ”

Meng E didn't let him go, let out a few strange bird calls from his throat, paused for a moment, changed directions and called a few more times, and after the fourth time, there was a response in the distance.

"Hey, did you discuss it with Xiao Du in advance?" Han Ruzi was very surprised, Meng E and Du Chuanyun were not familiar with each other, they came all the way from Shenxiong Pass, and it was not until the third day that Du Chuanyun recognized her as a woman, although he didn't ask much, but he talked to her even less.

"Everyone knows everything on the rivers and lakes." Meng E explained very simply, carrying Han Ruzi on her back and moving forward.

It was already dark, and her speed slowed down markedly, as if she were walking, occasionally stopping to imitate the call of a bird, and the echo was getting closer.

After some distance, Meng E whispered, "Come down." ”

Han Ruzi immediately came down, "Thank you." He said that he knew that Meng E did this because he didn't want him to lose face in front of Du Chuanyun.

The two of them walked one after the other, and after walking not far away, a voice came from in front of them: "Dare to ask who your Excellency is the hero?" ”

Han Ruzi was slightly startled, the voice was a little old, obviously not Du Chuanyun, he didn't know how to answer, Meng E suddenly retreated to his side, and pulled out the knife from the sheath.

The moonlit treetops illuminated the snow a little brightly, and two more people came out from behind the nearby trees, forming a triangle shape with the speaker opposite, encircling the two of them.

Finally, a familiar voice spoke, "Don't get me wrong, I'm Du Chuanyun, and you are...... General Zhenbei and Chen Tong? ”

"It's me." Han Ruzi immediately replied.

Meng E put away the knife.

The three of them ran over, one of them was really Du Chuanyun, the first speaker was his grandfather Du Motian, and one person Han Ruzi also knew, and it was actually a cook who didn't want to die.

"How did you find here?"

"How did you come across a piece?"

Du Chuanyun and Han Ruzi asked at the same time.

Han Ruzi replied first: "We met officers and soldiers, and after we left, we came all the way. ”

Du Chuanyun said: "I was looking for a way by the river, and it was strange to see a few strings of footprints, so I followed all the way, but I didn't expect to meet my grandfather, what a coincidence." ”

Du Motian said solemnly: "This is not a coincidence, in order to intercept the tired marquis, there is a group of people from the rivers and lakes who have been patrolling the river, and I and I have been here to observe them for three days." ”

Du Motian nodded to Han Ruzi, did not say anything about the reunion, turned to Meng E, and glanced up and down, "Your Excellency's name is Chen Tong?" ”

"Hmm."

"Where did you learn the Dumen technique?"

It turned out that the bird call was not a common skill on the rivers and lakes, but unique to Dumen, Meng E was silent for a while, "I heard it a few times, and I learned it." ”

Du touched the sky for a moment, and then said with a smile: "Your Excellency has good skills, Lao Du has been walking the rivers and lakes for decades, and he has never heard of Your Excellency's name, so he is really lonely and unheard." ”

"The rivers and lakes are vast, and it's normal to have occasional people you don't know."

Du Chuanyun approached his grandfather and reminded in a low voice: "Grandpa, she is ......"

Du Motian raised his hand to stop his grandson from talking, he was an old Jianghu, no matter how many doubts he had in his heart, he also knew that it was enough to stop, turned to Han Ruzi, and said with a smile: "The three of us are greeting the tired marquis, it's great to meet here." ”

Du Chuanyun was also very happy, he only felt that "Chen Tong" was a little weird, but he didn't have many doubts, "Let's go, grandpa and don't die to find a way to avoid those annoying Jianghu people." ”

Du's grandson led the way, Han Ruzi and Meng E followed closely, not to die in the palace, after seeing the tired marquis, he didn't say a word.

Without Meng E's help, Han Ruzi had some difficulty walking, and could only barely keep up.

They were not far from the river, but they had made a great circle, and it took them nearly two hours to cross the river in a remote place.

Not long after crossing the river, Don't be ordered to walk up to Han Ruzi's side, and whispered: "It's good to avoid the southern army, don't enter Beijing first, Yang Feng wants to see you." (To be continued.) )
