After a night of fighting, Zhang Bao and the others were exhausted, and although they escaped from Luoyang City, they could not relax at all. The pursuers behind were like wild dogs, chasing them closely.

"Earth Master, we can't go on like this. People are not tired, horses are also tired, so it is not optimistic. Guo Dazhuma said to Zhang Bao.

Zhang Bao saw that everyone was exhausted. Wanrou in her arms was almost lying on the horse's back, if it weren't for the excellent horsemanship of this body, I'm afraid Wanrou didn't know how many times she would have fallen asleep.

Zhang Jun, who was with Zhou Cang, that is, Wanrou's younger brother, followed Zhang Bao's surname. Although this child is small, he also gritted his teeth tightly and grabbed Zhou Cang to prevent himself from falling.

Looking at the horses under the crotch, I bought them by the way when passing through the village, of course, it couldn't be a BMW, but the horses, which were already overwhelmed, foaming at the corners of their mouths, seemed to be running down, and it didn't take long for the horses to be scrapped.

Everyone looked at Zhang Bao, waiting for Zhang Bao to come up with an idea. Zhang Bao thought for a while and said: "Guo Da is reasonable, I see that there is Luohe in front, and after Luoshui to rest, I will turn to Songshan and enter Rongyang to go north to Jizhou." ”

"No." The crowd rode their horses and galloped. Go straight to Songshan. Songshan, for later generations, is synonymous with Shaolin Temple. When you mention Songshan, you will immediately think of Shaolin Temple. In fact, Songshan is a holy place of Taoism earlier than Buddhism.

Standing at the foot of the mountain, looking at the majestic Song Mountain, Zhang Bao was shocked. Songshan is composed of Shaomuro Mountain and Taimuro Mountain. Stretching for thousands of miles, the mountains are steep, and there are many trees on the mountains.

Looking at the lofty Songshan Mountain, Ma // Yuan Yi rode to Zhang Bao and said: "Earth Master, this mountain is steep, there are many forests, if you want to get off the horse through this mountain, I am afraid it will take a lot of time." Now that the imperial court is about to send troops, the Heavenly Master has not heard from us yet, and the situation is not good. **** said with a sad face.

Zhang Bao was also worried, he only remembered that there was a road in Songshan in his previous life, but he forgot that now in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, how could there be a road. But if you don't go to Songshan, you have to go straight to the northeast and break through the tiger prison. This prison is located at the gate of Luoyang, and it is necessary to guard it with heavy troops. It's up to a few people in front of you to want it, unless they grow wings and fly over.

"Old horse, if you don't go to Songshan, you need to pass through the Tiger Prison Pass, and a few of us are sending death to the Tiger Prison Pass. Master, I think it's time to go to Songshan. Huang Long also rode forward.

Zhang Bao looked at **** Yi and Huang Long on the right, what the two of them said made sense, and Zhang Bao was difficult to make a decision for a while.

Pei Yuanshao stepped forward and said, "Earth Master, I know a small road, and I can pass the Tiger Prison in the ditch." But ......" said and hesitated, "but the road is very narrow, you can't ride a horse, and if you are the slightest slack, you may fall off the cliff, so ......"

Zhang Bao shook his head and said: "No, the land you said is too dangerous, and if you don't ride a horse, this road is far away, if there are enemy soldiers catching up, it will be troublesome." ”

"That's not what I meant." Pei Yuanshao hurriedly said, "I mean, Earth Master, you continue to walk this path, and I will walk the path by myself and go to pass the news to the Heavenly Master." ”

Zhang Bao's face changed: "What's more, if you have difficulties to face together, how can you let yourself go on an adventure alone." Say no more. In fact, Zhang Bao is really a little excited, but for so many days, although Pei Yuanshao's martial arts are not strong, he is loyal to himself. What is most important, the most important thing is the faithful person. Besides, there are only a few people in Taiping Dao who can count their combat strength, and if there is an accident, they will cry without crying.

"Earth Master." Pei Yuanshao, who was moved by Zhang Bao, rolled off the horse, knelt down and said: "Earth Master, I Pei Yuanshao almost starved to death back then, it was the Heavenly Master who gave me a bite to eat, my old mother died of illness that year, and it was the Heavenly Master who took care of my funeral, and I decided to give this life to the Heavenly Master at that time." If the earth master doesn't let me go today. I crashed to death in front of the Earth Master. ”

"This ......" Zhang Bao still didn't want Pei Yuanshao to go, although Pei Yuanshao only briefly said the danger of the narrow road just now, Zhang Bao didn't believe it. Luoyang, the important place of the imperial palace. If you can easily pass through the path of the Tiger Prison, how can you not be guarded. If you really don't take precautions, there is only one possibility, the road of nine deaths and one life.

"Earth Master, I'm willing to go with Lao Pei." Zhou Cang is a taciturn man, and he has a good relationship with Pei Yuanshao. I'm afraid that Pei Yuanshao will have no companion on the road alone.

Zhang Baogang wanted to nod, if Zhou Cang went with him and had a care, the two of them should be about the same. Before Zhang Bao nodded, Pei Yuanshao was shocked: "No, Lao Zhou is confused, if you accompany me, who will protect the earth master." The implication is that everyone understands that Zhou Cang is the highest martial artist among several people, and after listening to Pei Yuanshao's words, Huanglong and a few people have nothing to say, who makes his ability inferior to others.

Zhang Bao said: "It is feasible for Zhou Cang to accompany you." Besides, after you leave, Huang Long, Guo Da, Ma // Yuanyi and I all have martial arts, don't worry. ”

"No, Zhou Cang can't go." Pei Yuanshao just didn't agree.

Zhang Bao looked at Pei Yuanshao's firm face and sighed: "On the road, your own safety must be the most important." If you can't do it, don't force it. When the imperial court sends troops, it is necessary to prepare grain, grass, soldiers, horses and equipment, and in my opinion, there will be no army in a month. If you can't do it, hurry back, even if it takes some time to cross Songshan, you will be able to reach Jizhou within a month. ”

"No." Pei Yuanshao got on his horse and galloped away.

Everyone watched Pei Yuanshao gallop away. Guo Dadao: "Earth Master, let's go." If it is dark, there are many jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountains. ”

"Well, let's go." As he spoke, he hurried to Songshan, and the people behind him immediately followed.

At noon, the sun was extremely bright. But there is a dark feeling in this dense forest, the dense trees, blocking the sun, there are a few rays of sunlight tenaciously penetrate the leaves, dappled sunlight, shining on the ground.

The road ahead is no longer horseback riding. Zhou Cang led the horse to the front to open the way, Guo Da led the horse behind the palace, and everyone walked in the middle. It's that Zhang Jun's kid is too young, and he can barely sit on a horse. Zhang Bao looked at Wanrou who was walking next to him and said, "Wanrou, are you tired?" ”

Wanrou shook her head and said, "I'm not tired, I don't know how many roads I walked to Luoyang after following my father all the way to escape." And there is nothing to eat. Hungry all the way. Following the master all the way, although there are bumps, it is actually nothing. ”

"Hmm." Zhang Bao nodded, and just said that he was hungry, and his stomach was really a little hungry. Can you not be hungry, from last night to now, I have been running away, my nerves have been jumping tightly, knowing that now I have entered Songshan, I can get rid of the pursuers, and my nerves are a little relaxed, and my stomach feels a little hungry for this relaxation.

Zhang Bao estimated that everyone might be hungry, but he didn't say anything about the correction, so everyone didn't mention it. Thinking of this, Zhang Bao shouted at Zhou Cang, who was opening the road in front: "Zhou Cang, correct it for a while, everyone is on the way to eat some dry food." ”

"No." Zhou Cang and the others immediately found a vacant land and cleaned up the surroundings, although the place was not big, it was enough for a few people to rest. There was no fire, just gnawing on dry food with cold water.

Zhang Bao wants to catch some prey for barbecue, but think about this situation, even if there is prey, there is no suitable tool in his hand, it is too troublesome to think about it, so forget it.

Everyone was silent and gnawed on dry food to recover their strength.
