The sword light was like lightning, and one arm flew out diagonally and landed on the ground, blood gushing out. The leader of the soldiers did not know what had happened, but when the pain struck and the blood flowed from the severed arm, he realized that the arm had been broken, and let out a heart-rending howl. But even this howling sound Gongsun Lan didn't make him scream happily. Another flash of sword light, and the head of the soldier leader rolled down on the snow, and the screams came to an abrupt end.

More than a dozen soldiers shouted in panic, and before they could understand what was going on, Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan had already urged their horses to rush forward, and their swords rose and fell, killing several people in a row. The remaining seven or eight soldiers came to their senses, and when they saw the two of them killing people like fierce gods, they were already frightened, forgetting that they had a numerical advantage, and ran to the hotel with a shout.

Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan didn't allow them to escape, so they chased after them on horseback, and cut them all in the snow with a sword.

Several people who witnessed all this happening were stunned, one moment they were still worried about the two couples on the horse, and the next moment these dozen soldiers had become dead souls under the sword, and they couldn't tell what they felt in their hearts, they were so frightened that they couldn't move.

"A bunch of things that don't know how to live or die, and they're getting impatient." Gongsun Lan reprimanded.

Wang Yuan held a bloody sword and beckoned to a common man, "This big brother, ask you a few words." ”

"Don't ask me, don't ask me, I don't know anything, the king spares his life, the female king spares his life." The man waved his hands again and again, and his body couldn't control the battle.

"Don't be afraid, I'll let you go if I ask a few things, if you're disobedient, don't blame me for being ruthless." Wang Yuan said with a smile.

The man glanced at the long sword in Wang Yuan's hand that was still dripping blood, and said with a cry: "The king spares his life, there are eighty old mothers on the villain, and there are ...... below."

Wang Yuan frowned and interrupted: "What nonsense, how can everyone begging for mercy be this virtue, a little new, okay?" I'm not going to kill you, just ask a few words. Don't provoke us, otherwise this female king of my family will kill people without blinking. ”

Gongsun Lan glanced at Wang Yuan, but she also cooperated and shook the bloody short sword.

"The king asks, the little ones who know will tell you, and those who don't know can't do anything."

"Okay, pick up what you know. The first question is, are these officers and soldiers stationed in this bazaar? ”

"It's not...... It was only in the past two days that they were sent from the county seat, saying that they were asking for some news, and they went to the mountain pass every day to inspect it. Eat our food and drink our food every day, and we don't dare to say anything. ”

Wang Yuan nodded slightly, glanced at Gongsun Lan, and both of them understood that these dozen or so people were the Huai'an soldiers and horses sent to the left side of the mountain pass to inquire about the news, and they must have brought people to Yunzhou to investigate.

"Ask the brother again, do you know the news that the brigade in the county has been dispatched? Or is it the news that it is stationed near the left? ”

The man shook his head and said: "How do you know this, my second mother came back from Nanshanji's mother's house yesterday, and only said that Nanshanji also has soldiers and horses stationed in the county to check pedestrians, but it is not a brigade of soldiers and horses." ”

"Nanshan set? Where? ”

"It's just west of our town, ten miles away. My second mother's maiden family lives there, and her aunt also lives there, I don't like Lu Yuan to pick her up, and she still makes trouble with me when she comes back......"

The man was a little bolder, and kept saying irrelevant things, but Wang Yuan hurriedly waved his hand to interrupt. Let him chatter, and the seven aunts and eight aunts are afraid that all the trivial things will be pulled out. However, after listening to this person's words, Wang Yuan was also secretly surprised in his heart, it seems that there is also a checkpoint ahead, this is difficult to pass, you can't kill all the way to the past, wouldn't it be self-defeating to kill Huai'an County?

Wang Yuan frowned and thought for a moment and asked, "This old man, is there a way to go to Yunzhou without passing through the county seat and the market town in front?" ”

The man said, "Didn't you go to the county seat?" Why are you going to Yunzhou? Oh yes, you killed someone, and you went to the county seat to find death......"

Wang Yuan smiled bitterly.

The man continued: "...... Do you want to go through the county seat and the road to Yunzhou...... There is...... But it's hard to walk. There is a small road three miles out of the town and turn south, and then follow the road to Xida Mountain. After crossing the West Mountain, you will reach the boundary of Yunzhou. But under this heavy snow, you will definitely die halfway down the road you walk, that is the path for the hunters to hunt in the West Mountain, and it is dangerous. ”

Wang Yuan waved his hand and said: "I know, thank you brother, this money will reward you, add a flower jacket to Erniang, and she won't mess with you." ”

The man was pleasantly surprised, and took the copper coin string thrown by Wang Yuan with a smile, Wang Yuan said: "Brother, what you just said must be kept secret, nonsense will kill you, understand?" ”

The man sounded again, and the two people in front of him had just killed more than a dozen soldiers, and he instantly felt that the copper coin was a little hot, and he was reluctant to throw it away. Just in embarrassment, Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan had already spurred their horses to run far away. The man took the money in his arms and fled from the scene of the crime.

Three miles out of the town, there is a fork in the road to the south, the road is not wide, although the snow is deep, but it can be walked. The two did not hesitate to turn onto this path, because they had to avoid the official road, the news of the killing would soon spread, and the soldiers and horses of Huai'an County would immediately come to arrest them. Not to mention the issue of his own safety, the delay time is the most precious, and Wang Yuan does not want to be entangled by officers and soldiers here.

Follow the trail to the south, and then the trail extends westward, leading to a faint mountain in the distance, even if it is the western mountain in the man's mouth. The road is getting harder and harder, as he said. But there are still footprints in the snow, and after the snow is a good time for hunting, the hunters on the left are all going up the mountain along this trail, and some people have shoveled the snow, and the horses can also ride. Walking until dark, the mountain is already far away, forever passing through the undulating aftermath, which confirms the proverb that the mountain runs a dead horse.

After dark, the two had to find a wooded camp again, and soon after they lay down in a grass nest huddled together under a big tree, suddenly there was a noise on the hillside behind them, and the neighing of horses. The two of them became alert, and Wang Yuan's first reaction was to douse the bonfire with snow, and the two pulled their horses and quietly touched the edge of the woods and looked at the hillside.

The stars shine, the snow shines, and the light is faintly visible. On the hillside path, a long black shadow was touching the path towards the woods where the two were living. Wang Yuan knew that the news must have leaked, and the people must have told the truth. Maybe he was tortured and forced to confess his whereabouts, but in fact, he can't expect a common man to keep it secret for himself.

"What should I do?" Gongsun Lan said in a low voice.

Wang Yuan said: "Hide first and see the situation." ”

The two of them hid in the woods, watching the group of about 100 soldiers and horses touch into the woods, and someone whispered: "I saw the fire just now, why can't I see it." ”

"It's not you idiot who made a noise and was heard." One of them scolded in a low voice.

"Can you blame me? The sound of walking in the snow was already loud, and besides, the beast suddenly lost his temper, what could I do? ”

"Don't say it, don't bring anyone to search it."

More than 100 people rushed into the forest and searched around, and found a bonfire that had just been extinguished and was still smoking, as well as a simple shack under the tree. Wang Yuan and Gongsun Lan hid in the snow pit at the edge of the woods, not knowing what to do. At this time, you can't leave, if you fight, there are so many people on the other side, and two people will definitely not succeed.

The horses around him were so cold that they jumped to their feet, and the noise was very loud, and if it weren't for the noise of the officers and soldiers in the woods, I am afraid that they would soon find out. Gongsun Lan hurriedly pulled Wang Yuan's sleeve and asked with his eyes.

Wang Yuan stood up and walked to the horse, Gongsun Lan hurriedly gestured and asked him what he was going to do, Wang Yuan waved his hand and lightly took off the dry food and water bladder hanging on the horse's back and hung it on his body, pulled the heads of the two horses and aimed them at the bottom of the slope, took out the long sword from his waist and slashed at the buttocks of the two horses. The big black horse jumped up with a neigh, and ran madly down the mountain road. Gongsun Lan's mount also hissed and ran down the hill.

Only then did Gongsun Lan understand Wang Yuan's intentions, and secretly praised Wang Yuan for being smart. When the officers and soldiers in the forest heard the news that the horses were neighing and fleeing, they immediately shouted: "Run, run to the mountain road." ”

"Chasing, what are you still doing? Chase! The leading generals shouted and cursed, and more than 100 soldiers and horses rushed out of the forest and chased towards the mountain road.

When they chased them down the slope, Wang Yuan pulled Gongsun Lan and said, "Hurry up, this won't fool them for long, we need to hurry immediately." ”

The two of them immediately set off, carrying dry food and water bags away from the mountain road, climbing high and low and walking on the snow slope, until they could not hear the noise of human voices, and then gasped and sat down against a big pine tree to breathe.

Although they escaped, the two of them were in a heavy mood, the horses were gone, the road was still far away, and time would be greatly delayed.

Today is the third day of leaving, and the shadow of Yunzhou is nowhere to be seen, and the fate of Liu Junqingyun'er and the three hundred soldiers left behind is even more worrying.
