Chapter 173: Confidant Mo Ruofu (Fourth Watch)
When Xu Xian led people out of the city, Bai Suzhen was also following.
In Bai Suzhen's opinion, her husband was going to be in danger this time, she already knew that the prefect's yamen had sent two groups of people, each of which had about 200 people, and there were also people who were following Xu Xian's team.
"I don't know what the officials think, they have to take this batch of grain on the road, if there is any accident on the road, won't they be constrained?"
Bai Suzhen was very nervous, but with her cultivation, it was easy to help Xu Xian tide over the difficulties.
After Xu Xian left the city, he did not go directly to the direction of the northeast official road where Yanshan County was located, but walked east first, as if he intended to avoid the tracking force sent from the city of Hejian Prefecture.
"The officials seem to be on guard, maybe the officials have already studied how to avoid the eyeliner sent by Liu Hekuan before they came to Yanshan County."
Bai Suzhen looked at Xu Xian below, and a smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, because the situation in front of her was too easy for her, and it seemed to her that it was a very easy thing to help Xu Xian escape.
"Official, it seems that you have to take a good look at me again this time!"
After speaking, an invisible aura emanated from Bai Suzhen's hand, and with the drive of this momentum, Xu Xian's team seemed to be plugged into wings, and quickly advanced on the official road.
……
……
The people sent by Liu and Kuan did not track down Xu Xian at all, and even lost Xu Xian's trace.
Xu Xian's men and horses originally needed two or three days, and they needed to travel under the stars to return to Yanshan County, but in the afternoon of the same day, the party had already seen the city head of Yanshan County.
"Big ...... My lord, what's going on, let's ...... We've only been walking for a while, why did we end up in Yanshan County? ”
The people who followed Xu Xian were also puzzled, they didn't know what was going on, they just felt as if they were dreaming.
Xu Xian saw the picture in front of him, the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile, and he was secretly smiling in his heart: "If you want to say that you know your mother's ability, then you still count me Xu Hanwen, it seems that it is good for me to read more "The Legend of the White Snake" before." ”
"There's nothing to fuss about, I just took you guys to take a shortcut!" Xu Xian's attitude was very indifferent and said.
The local guide was also surprised, and he said, "My lord, what kind of shortcut can make Yanshan County so close to Hejian Fucheng?" ”
"Still talking nonsense here, aren't you afraid that there will be bandits who will kidnap us halfway? How many of us are there? Don't say more, hurry up and escort the carriage into the city! ”
Xu Xian and his entourage went to the direction of Yanshan County, Du Yong was still stationed in the city, heard that Xu Xian was back, he personally led the troops out to greet him, and at the same time brought a large number of officers and soldiers out to be people's husbands, to help Xu Xian bring the team into the city, and then help unload the goods.
Du Yong was also surprised: "My lord, you came back so soon?" It's only been four days, and you'...... Even the food was brought back? ”
"If this official still lives in the city for two days, are you more surprised?" After Xu Xian finished speaking, seeing that Du Yong's face was very strange, he couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't talk about this, hurry up and bring the grain into the city, and by the way, settle the accounts of those carriage drivers, so that they can go back to the city as soon as possible." ”
"Hey, yes, I'm going to unload the grain."
Du Yong was very happy, the food that Xu Xian got from the city didn't seem to be a lot, but it was enough for the 100 soldiers in the city to eat for a few months.
This can be said to be a windfall, and he can even use this batch of grain to recruit soldiers and horses, Du Yong seems to be very enthusiastic.
Xu Xian didn't rush back to the house, he didn't know if his wife would come back, he had to settle all the food before he went back to the house, and when the time came, Bai Suzhen would also go home and wait for him to return.
……
……
Seeing that it was dark, Liu Youkuan was still waiting for the "good news" of Xu Xian's killing in the city.
And Song Huazhu was waiting for more news about Xu Xian, especially the news of his brother-in-law, he kept pacing back and forth in his room: "This kid, I have always hoped that he can make achievements, and it is best to make meritorious contributions in front of the prefect, this is his best opportunity, if you can't grasp it, see how I clean you up when I come back." ”
At sunset, his brother-in-law, the captain of the city gate, had returned.
Song Huazhu was surprised when he saw his brother-in-law's hurried appearance, and he wondered, "Why don't you follow the team surnamed Xu?" Came back so early, but he had already entered the ambush circle and was killed? ”
"Brother-in-law, it's not a good thing, the one surnamed Xu ...... Lose someone! The captain of the city gate said with a bitter expression.
Song Huazhu was furious and said, "You kid, say it again!" Lost people? He carried so many wagons carrying grain, and walked as slowly as a turtle, and you ...... Can you lose it? ”
"It's just that I'm lost, brother-in-law, don't be angry first, listen to me tell you, after going out of the city, I will take people to follow normally, he is also very treacherous, he didn't go back to the nearest official road in Yanshan County, but it was a detour, but I also walked the detour...... But just follow and follow, and the person is suddenly gone, brother-in-law, it's really not that I don't follow, it's really ...... He's too cunning! "The captain of the city gate has been defending himself.
Song Huazhu slapped his brother-in-law's face and scolded: "You still have a fucking face to come back, and you still have a face to mess around with me when you come back, so you can lose a team of people, why didn't you continue to look for it along the road?" ”
"I looked for it, and I searched all the places around, but there were no clues, so I came back to tell my brother-in-law...... Brother-in-law, you can't be unreasonable, I'm trying my best to do things! The captain of the city gate said with a sad face.
"Your mother, your mother, and the face to say, see if I don't smoke you to death!" Song Huazhu almost chased after his brother-in-law.
The captain of the city gate defended while fleeing: "Brother-in-law, let's be reasonable in everything, it's not that I don't bother to look for ...... It's useless for you to be in such a hurry, as long as he is still walking along the road, he will definitely be surrounded and suppressed, why is my brother-in-law in a hurry? ”
Song Huazhu chased after him for a while, he was really weak, he stood still, and said coldly: "You kid, it's really useless, but I can only hope that the kid surnamed Xu won't run away, otherwise this matter will not be over with you, no, I will go to the prefect's yamen to wait, and if there is any news, I will intercept the news first, and let me report to the prefect!" ”
After speaking, Song Huazhu ignored his brother-in-law and hurriedly went to the prefect's yamen.
Who knew that he waited at the gate of the prefect's yamen for a night, and he didn't wait for the person who came back to deliver the message, and then he began to panic.
At this moment, I saw that among the people who had been sent to besiege Xu Xian and his entourage, Zhou Yuming, the deputy staff member, came back with people, and when he looked at the situation, he knew that he had returned.
"It's over, won't you be run away by a kid surnamed Xu like this?"
