Chapter 7 Escape from Jingzhou City (2) [First creation, a lot of support!] 】
By the time my sister-in-law calmed the ripples, my brother and I had already packed our bags. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info only brought some clothes, important straw paper, and silver taels.
I stood outside the door and watched as it was getting dark. After a short rest, when the ripples were in a better state, my brother beckoned me to prepare to leave.
There is a small ditch behind the house, which leads to the moat of the city gate. The elder brother planned to walk next to the ditch and would not be easily spotted. After closing the gates, we set off. My brother is familiar with the road and walks in the front, my sister-in-law and Ripple walk in the middle, and I am responsible for breaking the back. The first sneaking in the middle of the night was really exciting, I don't know what to expect, I don't know if there are any flying insects and beasts in this cloudy night, but I can't be afraid, I'm not afraid of ripples, I don't want to make jokes!
After walking for a short time, it seemed that there was nothing but insects and birds.
"Zhang Qiansheng, are you scared in the back?" Ripple asked suddenly.
"What...... Afraid? How is that possible. I said. Anyway, he is also a man, he may not be as powerful as his brother, but he should not be underestimated, at least my favorite person during the Three Kingdoms period is Zhao Zilong, but there is no battle of Changbanpo yet, and there may not be so many people who know him, so I won't talk about it for now.
"Aren't you really afraid?" Ripple turned his head and blinked at me. To be honest, Ripple's eyes are really beautiful, although I haven't seen a fairy, but I think she is my fairy sister.
"Stop talking! There seems to be a case! My brother stopped suddenly.
"Qiansheng, squat down." My sister-in-law said to me suddenly.
We were crouching in the grass, and I saw in the distance what appeared to be a group of men and horses walking towards the market. I don't even have to think about the figure as the leader, I know that it is Xu Hong, who killed a thousand knives!
"It's good that we went one step ahead of him!" My brother whispered.
"Next, we can only hurry up, and wait for Xu Hong to arrive a little later, we must know that we have escaped, and we will definitely order the blockade of Jingzhou City." I responded.
"Qiansheng, I didn't expect to be so clever, that's right, let's hurry." My sister-in-law suddenly praised my analysis.
Before the men arrived, we continued to walk forward, and soon we reached the east side of the Jingzhou City Gate. There are three soldiers guarding the city tower, but it is not tight, except that the person who has agreed to receive it does not appear.
"You said that Big Brother won't lie to us this week!" I suddenly asked!
"Qiansheng, don't talk nonsense, Brother Zhou won't be that kind of person!" My brother hurriedly interrupted me.
"You kid, why don't you think about people for the better!" Even Ripple began to reproach me when she heard me.
After waiting for a while, no one came. My brother said to go out and investigate, and entrusted me to take care of Ripple and sister-in-law.
Not long after my brother left, there seemed to be someone coming over in the grass rush behind him, but I wasn't sure if it was the person who answered, my brother was not there at this time, and my sister-in-law and ripples were only protected by me at the moment, and I still had a handful of sweat in my hands! If I hadn't come to this place, I guess I would have been lying in bed playing games. Having said that, the sound came closer and closer, and the ripples clutched my sleeves tightly. I could feel the beads of sweat falling from my back, and I was hoping that it wasn't a bad person.
"Brother Zhou!" Ripples suddenly called! No one thought that the person who came turned out to be Brother Zhou, and Brother Zhou slowed down a little when he saw that it was us.
"You're all here! What about the Kunsheng brothers? Brother Zhou asked.
"Brother went out to inquire about the situation, but the person who answered hasn't come yet, I didn't expect it to be you, Brother Zhou!" I said, relieved and seemed to speak much more easily.
"Not really!" As soon as Brother Zhou's words changed, the air that had just improved began to tense again. "Xu Hong just went door-to-door to check the night and brought me with me, I originally arranged for someone to meet you here." Brother Zhou said.
"Then why are you here, that person is gone!" Ripple Girl asked suddenly.
"Listen to me, Xu Hong just found out about your house, knocked for a long time and didn't see anyone, who knew that at that time the person I installed actually ran over to report to Xu Hong, Xu Hong listened, there was not much change, and asked a few words to let the thief come back." Brother Zhou said angrily.
"What? Is there such a thing? To say betrayal is to betray? "I was really surprised!
"I have always asked Xu Hong to come over to strictly inspect the city gate, I came to look for you under the pretext of being respectful, the situation is critical, Xu Hong must suspect that I am coming, it is not appropriate to stay here for a long time, let's withdraw first." Brother Zhou said. "Qiansheng, go and take your brother over first."
As soon as Brother Zhou's voice fell, his brother came out from behind the pile of materials next to him.
"Brother Zhang, now there are some words, I won't explain like you, it's important to escape from the city, let's go first!" Before my brother could figure it out, he was dragged away by us.
It turned out that there were two stones on the east side of the gate that had long been in disrepair, and they were moved away with a little force.
"I deliberately didn't allow it to be repaired, just in case one day. Sure enough, everything that should have come has come. Brother Zhou said.
"Qiansheng, you go out first, and then pick up the ripple girl and sister-in-law!" My brother urged me.
Anyway, it's the first time to drill such a hole, but it's hard to save your life, and you can't take care of it so much.
I went over there, and just in time there were a few small bushes outside the door, just enough to hide my figure.
"Sister-in-law, come, I'll pull you out." I said to my sister-in-law.
Then sister-in-law and ripples came out one after another. Unexpectedly, when the ripples came out, they kicked the stone next to them, and there was a "clang", which seemed very abrupt at night.
"Who's there?" Suddenly there was a voice from the castle tower.
"No, let's go." Brother Zhou hurriedly pushed his brother out.
"Don't move, come with me!" The soldiers upstairs seemed to be chasing after him, and after Brother Zhou came over, he hurriedly climbed out, and the three of us were on the spot, and the stone next to us blocked the entrance of the cave.
"This stone won't last long, Xu Hong must have already come, let's go quickly, and walk along the woods next to the moat." Brother Zhou said anxiously.
I picked up my luggage and walked forward with the ripples. It's already a run for my life, Ripple is a girl's house after all, and I can't run fast, so I can only follow her pace, but I don't dare to be too slow.
The soldiers on the tower of the city began to come down in pursuit, and I thought to myself that I would not be able to escape, and I did not dare to look back. The lights of thousands of homes are on, and the soldiers are chasing all the way, which is really good luck.
"Open the gates!" Suddenly, I only heard the city gate open, and a team of people rushed out, and the people in front of them officially promised Hong.
"Give me chase!" Xu Hong ordered.
"Let's go!" Brother Zhou was even more anxious.
"There's a bridge on the moat ahead, and there's a little grass next to the bridge, so let's hurry over there." Brother Zhou said suddenly.
The pursuers came after me with torches, and the whole forest was lit up quickly, and I really didn't know if I would be able to escape this fate. Not a few steps away, I arrived at the small grass that Brother Zhou said.
It's just a bush, not a bush, and when I see that my heart is broken, as long as I am not blind, it seems that I can find us. I really believe in evil, I don't know if Brother Zhou saved us!
I had to hide behind the bushes with them.
The pursuers are getting closer and closer, searching around our neighborhood. All of us are sweating in our hearts, but Brother Zhou is still in the mood to take off his clothes!
"Qiansheng, throw this armor of mine into the moat." Brother Zhou whispered to me!
"Why are you stunned, throw it away!" I was called again by my brother.
I threw my armor into the river, I really thought we were going to die, obviously it was not good to hide, and I made some clues.
Unexpectedly, the armor sank completely, floated over the bridge hole, and turned his back to Jingzhou City.
"Lord Xu, a suit of armor was found in the moat ahead!" A small soldier found out and reported it to Xu Hong.
I saw Xu Hong glance around. "You people search downstream along the moat, a few of them cross the bridge to search, and they can come back to see me with the living and the dead!" Xu Hong sneered.
My fists were clenched, my teeth clucking. An insidious person like Xu Hong deserves death.
Immediately, Xu Hong returned to the city with his men and horses, and the two teams of scouts chased them downstream and the bridgehead respectively.
When the pursuers were far away, we all breathed a sigh of relief. It seems that this ancient man had a bad brain and eyesight. Brother Zhou is also really witty. I couldn't help but admire it a little more.
"Where are we going now?" Brother asked Brother Zhou!
Brother Zhou told his brother what he had just done.
"Such a sinister person, it seems that the people around him should not be gullible!" My brother said seriously!
"You can trust us!" I hurriedly interjected!
"That's that! Hehe, if you want to frame me, you can't do it! My brother touched my head and smiled. Amused everyone.
"Speaking of which, let's go to Fancheng!" Brother Zhou said!
"Could it be that you are going to defect to Liu Bei?" The elder brother looked puzzled.
"Brother Zhang guessed correctly, that is, to find Liu Xuande, Liu Biao will not ascend to heaven, the future of Jingzhou City is uncertain, Liu Xuande is kind, so he will not put us to death, besides, I still have some acquaintances in Fancheng, who can help us take revenge!" Brother Zhou looked at Jingzhou City and said.
"I don't hate it every day, and then go back to Jingzhou!" My brother said resolutely.
I can't help but sigh at the two real heroes! But this rhythm is that I will be able to meet Liu Bei soon? Come to the Three Kingdoms, it's good that you can meet the top leader of Shu, and I'm quite happy in my heart.
"Brother Zhou, Brother Zhang, and Qiansheng, I will go wherever you go, and I will be with Sister Lian'er!" Ripple suddenly interjected!
"Good". The five of them smiled heartily!
"Three times to worry about the world", let's go to Fancheng!
