Chapter 30: Escape from Zhuolu
When Zhang Xiang and Zhang Feng left the restaurant, it was already a child's time, Zhuolu was located in the border area of Youzhou belonging to the Han Dynasty, so a curfew control was implemented, and there were no pedestrians except for some patrolling county guards at night.
Once caught, they will be detained, and the Qi family has a lot of power in Shanggu County, so Zhang Xiang and his party have to avoid the inspection of the county guard, so they have to hide secretly like a thief.
However, Zhang Xiang and his party added up to more than 30 people, and the number of people was too large, and the target was too large and very conspicuous, so Zhang Xiang could only choose to disperse and advance, and converge in the south gate area to prepare to highlight the city gate.
Before this, it can be said that everything is going well, Zhang Xiang's entourage also converged in the south gate area, and then Zhang Xiang was about to break through the city gate, but a sound of horses' hooves broke Zhang Xiang's plan.
It should be the official of the county government immediately, he looked very hurried in his official uniform, "The county order has an order to guard the city gate tightly, and no slackening, a group of thieves will flee from Zhuolu County, once they escape, everyone will be punished." “
Zhang Xiang knew that the people of the Qi family had discovered the escape of Zhang Feng and others, and began to use the power of the county government, Zhang Xiang knew that it was too late to do it now, and Zhang Xiang had to choose to do it at this time.
Monza Zhang Feng took the lead in rushing forward as soon as he saw Zhang Xiang's order, Pan Ying also sent a secret weapon to knock the county official off his horse, and flew on the horse.
Zhang Xiang saw that Pan Ying seemed to be playing acrobatics on the horse, and when the horse was about to rush to the city gate, he stepped on the horse's back and jumped back, and the hidden weapon in his hand also hit the horse's buttocks, and the horse felt pain and galloped to the city gate, causing chaos among the county soldiers.
Monza Zhang Feng also took advantage of the panic of the county soldiers to kill, and in the end, Monza's hands and feet were faster, and he broke the neck of a county soldier with one move, Zhang Feng was not to be outdone and then killed, Zhang Feng was also a powerful warrior, and his joining just crushed the resistance of the county soldiers.
After all, there were not many county soldiers guarding the city gate at this time, Zhang Xiang thought that he would go out of the city gate smoothly, but he underestimated the ancient Yun of Zhuolu, his city gate was not made of hardwood like other county gates, but carved out of a whole piece of rock, which was very heavy for Zhang Xiang and others to spend some time.
At this time, the county soldiers on the city tower also came down, and Zhang Xiang and others were strangled together, fortunately, the terrain at the city gate was limited, and the county soldiers could not all rush up, giving Zhang Xiang and others some time to breathe.
There is also the commander of the county soldiers, he didn't know the art of war, he didn't shoot arrows at Zhang Xiang and others, he only knew that the short-range combat allowed Zhang Xiang and others to survive the most difficult moment in the early stage, and it happened that the people of the Qi family also lived not far from the south gate.
They also rushed over when they heard the voice, the people of the Qi family were all elites, they would not be polite to Zhang Xiang and the others, and ordered the county soldiers to release arrows, and the people on Zhang Xiang's side were immediately killed and wounded.
Zhang Fei outside the south gate has been waiting for a long time, as soon as he heard the sound of fighting from the south gate, he knew that Zhang Xiang and others had an accident, and immediately led people to the south gate, but in the face of the high wall, it was also powerful and couldn't make it!
Zhang Xiang was facing the rain of arrows on his side, and he had to fight with the county soldiers, and he had been forced to the corner of the city gate, and the county soldiers also took care of the safety of their companions, so the arrow rain gradually decreased, and Zhang Xiang and others also took this opportunity to open a gap in the city gate.
Zhang Fei saw the gap in the city gate at a glance, and his two big hands immediately grabbed the gap, gritting his teeth and dying hard, the gap in the city gate gradually became larger, and Zhang Fei's addition saved Zhang Xiang and others a lot of time.
The gap in the city gate can finally allow a person to pass through, Zhang Fei saw Zhang Xiang at a glance at the back of the crowd, and dragged Zhang Xiang out without saying a word, and was relieved to see that Zhang Xiang was intact.
Zhang Fei's drag was very sudden, Zhang Xiang was not prepared at all, he fell a big heel without stepping steadily, Zhang Xiang didn't care about Zhang Fei at this time, "Second brother Monza, you come out quickly." “
Zhang Feng subconsciously obeyed Zhang Xiang's order and retreated, while Monza was a veteran, he had his own considerations, and he protected his subordinates who had a roar and retreated before leaving the city gate.
Zhang Xiang also saw Monza's selfishness, but now is not the time to think about this matter, after Monza left, Zhang Xiang's men in the city gate were defeated by the county soldiers, they did not leave in order to protect Zhang Xiang's safety, but guarded the gap in the city gate until the last man.
Monza reacted immediately, and dragged Zhang Xiang back, Zhang Fei and Zhang Feng also had their own selfishness, so they acquiesced to Monza's behavior and helped Zhang Xiang onto the war horse, Zhang Xiang was not a person who didn't know the severity, so he left with tears.
The leader of the Qi family is very good at archery, and he also saw that Zhang Xiang was an important person, so he shot an arrow at Zhang Xiang's heart along the gap in the city gate, if Zhang Fei hadn't noticed it in time and pushed Zhang Xiang, Zhang Xiang would have died at this time, but Zhang Xiang's arm was also shot by an arrow.
Zhang Xiang and others rode away quickly, and the people of the Qi family also opened the city gate and chased after them, Zhang Xiang and the others had good endurance and speed, and they were not caught up by the people of the Qi family, but the people of the Qi family were also elite, and they were not thrown away by Zhang Xiang and others, but they were chased far behind.
With the extension of the pursuit time, the distance between the Qi family and Zhang Xiang is also shortening, it is not that Zhang Xiang and others' war horses are not good, but that the Qi family has two horses, constantly letting the horses rest, changing horses without changing people, Zhang Xiang and others' war horses are constantly running, and their physical strength is constantly decreasing, so that they will be caught up with an increase and a decrease.
Monza also saw the current situation, and in addition to the continuous dripping blood on Zhang Xiang's body, he couldn't withstand the long turbulence, so he took the initiative to mention it, "Childe, you and Zhang Fei and Zhang Feng go first, and I will lead people to lead them away." “
Zhang Xiang: "No, what should you do if I'm gone?" “
Monza: "With all due respect, your stay here is also a burden to us, and it will slow us down, I am very experienced in escaping pursuit, I will bring my brothers back." “
Zhang Xiang: "You don't need to say much, I won't agree." “
Monza: "Zhang Fei Zhang Feng, what are you waiting for, didn't you see that Gongzi was injured?" He won't last long, do you want to kill him? “
Zhang Fei Zhang Feng looked at Zhang Xiang's pale lips because of excessive bleeding, and made a decision with pain, dragging Zhang Xiang to the horse and hiding in the wild grass next to him.
Zhang Xiang was helped by Zhang Fei into a small road, walked for about a few hours, and finally found an abandoned thatched hut at dawn and helped Zhang Xiang in to rest.
After walking for a night, Zhang Xiang is very weak now, although the wound has coagulated, but some dirty things can still be seen from the wound, Zhang Feng found some herbs to stop bleeding for Zhang Xiang to treat the wound.
When the three brothers Zhang Xiang rested for about two hours, the sound of a crowd suddenly came from outside, Zhang Fei and the others thought that the Qi family had chased after them, and only after a glance did they know that it was not a false alarm.
Zhang Xiang's heart was raised again, although Zhang Xiang didn't know the people who came, but their clothes could show their identity, they were Zhang Xiang's old acquaintance Yellow Turban missionaries.
Zhang Xiang was not surprised by the appearance of the Yellow Turban missionaries, after all, this is located in the countryside, and it is normal for them to come here to preach, but Zhang Xiang really does not want to see them in this situation now.
Zhang Xiang could only hope that the gang would not enter the broken hut, but the Yellow Turban missionaries still found the blood stains left by Zhang Xiang outside, and they still surrounded the hut.
The leading missionary: "Get out of here, or we're going to do it." “
Zhang Fei wanted to rush out as soon as he heard this, but Zhang Xiang spoke, "The Yellow Turban Daoist outside, don't get me wrong, we are not gangsters, the three of us brothers came out to visit friends, but we encountered an accident and stayed here temporarily." “
Missionary: "In that case, why don't you come out and see us, we are not bad people, there is no need to hide, little brother, one of you should be injured, we can also help to diagnose and heal." “
Zhang Xiang was also very helpless, so he could only go out, and the missionary was relieved at a glance, Zhang Xiang was the young master of the study tour, and Zhang Fei Zhang Feng was a guard at a glance, and he also saw the injury on Zhang Xiang's body, so he immediately sent someone to treat it.
Zhang Xiang really didn't want to drink the talisman soup given by the Yellow Turban missionary, there was always a burnt smell, but Zhang Xiang could only endure it under the eaves, "Then thank you for the Yellow Turban Daoist, I don't know the honorable name?" “
Missionary: "It's good to say that I'm a rough man, I'm Deng Mao." Zhang Xiang was shocked when he heard Deng Mao, how could it be him, Zhang Xiang glanced at Zhang Fei again, Deng Mao was killed by Zhang Fei in the end, I don't know what will happen if these two people meet early?
Zhang Xiang: "Brother Deng, thank you, our brother is in trouble here thanks to your help!" “
Deng Mao: "Little brother is polite, anyone will encounter difficulties when they go out, all our yellow turban people will help, where are you going, brother, I'll give you a ride!" “
Zhang Xiang: "Then don't worry, we have a long way to go, I'm afraid we don't have the same path." “
Deng Mao: "We are going to Jizhou for a long time, little brother, can you see if we are on the same road?" Zhang Xiang saw that there were a lot of Yellow Turban people behind Deng Mao, and he pulled a few carts of things to know that Deng Mao was not lying.
Zhang Xiang thought about it for a while, if there was the protection of the Yellow Turban people along the way, it might save him a lot of trouble, and thinking of this, Zhang Xiang made a decision, "Brother Deng, we are going to Zhuo County, I don't know if it will be smooth or not?" "Zhuojun, of course it's on the way, you guys come with us!" Deng Mao also knew that Zhang Xiang was injured, and specially arranged a carriage for him.
Zhang Fei has been protecting Zhang Xiang every step of the way since he knew that he was going to go on the road with the Yellow Turbans, Zhang Feng didn't know what Zhang Xiang had done, but Zhang Fei knew very well that they had killed some Yellow Turban missionaries, so Zhang Fei was on guard everywhere.
