In the reeds, the reeds are yellow, and the reed poles that can be seen everywhere are upside down or upright, but they are all tenacious and unyielding, and it is difficult to break. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

This kind of terrain is inherently a good place to hide and ambush.

Zhao Gu didn't want to ambush anyone, he just relied on his intuition to enter here, in order to avoid the pursuit of the government and let himself escape with his life.

After getting off the boat, Zhao Gu and Su Xiaocheng kept going, constantly interspersing in the reeds, they had only one purpose, to get out of the reeds and go to the other side of it.

It turned out that Zhao Gu's intuition was not wrong, and near noon, Zhao Gu and Su Xiaocheng almost encountered the soldiers who searched them.

These soldiers were in a team of five and carried out the search and arrest in a fan-shape, and they were not far from each other, which just ensured that when they encountered an emergency, the five of them could quickly gather together, which fully reflected their military quality.

Zhao Gu was very curious, it is said that these soldiers do not look like cowards, but why when fighting with the Liao State, the Great Song always loses more and wins less.

Not thinking about this for the time being, Zhao Gu and Su Xiaocheng bypassed the group of soldiers and continued to hide, and in this way, the two fled until the night.

In the silent night, there was not a trace of sound, Zhao Gu didn't dare to hurry anymore, otherwise if he made a sound, he would easily become a live target.

Taking out the cold buns from the baggage behind them, Zhao Gu and Su Xiaocheng ate two of them, and then leaned on each other to rest in the deep reeds.

The two didn't have much communication from beginning to end, all the way around, Su Xiaocheng was like Zhao Gu's shadow, following him in obscurity and never giving up.

Zhao Gu never asked her why she was like this, as if she should have been like this.

Near midnight, there was a sudden commotion in the reeds, and a large group of men and horses had come. These people were menacing, each holding a torch, and they could find Zhao Gu and the others out in minutes.

Vaguely, Zhao Gu heard the sound of two people arguing, as if they were arguing over whether they should continue the search at night.

Eventually, the man who insisted on the night search won the quarrel, and the group began to drive small boats and torches through the reeds.

What made Zhao Gu angry was that these centaurs were obviously more poisonous, and every time they searched an area, they would set fire to the reed poles in this area, and then raise their knives to the side, secretly vigilant against the other group.

As for the leader of the other group, he hurriedly circled in place, but did not dare to step forward to stop it, and the scene fell silent for a while, and the whole reed swing was only the crackling sound of the reed pole being burned.

From this point of view, the group of people who lit the fire obviously wanted to kill Zhao Gu and extinguish their mouths, and they didn't even care about Su Xiaocheng's life. The other group of people seemed to be afraid of Su Xiaocheng or Zhao Gu, so they didn't approve of arson, but they were controlled by others and couldn't raise their opinions.

As a result, things get a little confusing.

Zhao Gu asked himself that he was just a small farmer, an inconspicuous small role among thousands of ants, but he worked so many people to search and arrest, and even did not hesitate to kill people, he really felt a little 'honored'!

Originally, he thought that the government was so aggressive because he took care of Su Xiaocheng, but Su Xiaocheng was a woman and obviously not an official of the imperial court, how could it be worthy of so much attention from the people in the two camps of Kaifeng Mansion and the city defense army?

Thinking of the assassination sent by Li Hao before, Zhao Gu became more and more sure in his heart that they were actually here for themselves.

And all this must be related to his identity as a Han Chinese!

The fire was getting closer and closer, and Zhao Gu had to stop thinking and start thinking about the way to escape.

But he had to admit that from the time these people started setting fires, he fell into an insoluble situation.

The purpose of those people to set fire was to extinguish the mouth, but it was not to startle the snake, Zhao Gu believed that as long as he appeared, he would immediately die with a cold heart.

They just want to force him out and kill him, or just burn him alive, as long as he wanders in this reed, there is no way to live.

Even Su Xiaocheng may be implicated to death by him.

Of course, he could tie Su Xiaocheng and float along the river, release Su Xiaocheng somewhere, and use her to attract the attention of the officers and soldiers, while he waited for an opportunity to escape in another place.

But in this way, who knows if these people will be frenzied to set another fire to the place where Su Xiaocheng was found, or shoot a wave of arrows.

Zhao Gu didn't dare to make this bet, so he quickly made a decision to go out by himself to attract firepower, while Su Xiaocheng waited for an opportunity to identify himself and find someone who searched the reeds during the day to protect her.

He is not a cold-blooded person, and he used Su Xiaocheng as a shield in the cell for freedom, and also because he guessed that the government would not dare to hurt Su Xiaocheng. But now that these people have made killing themselves their primary goal, how can he bear to let this weak woman go to death.

Su Xiaocheng seemed to have guessed Zhao Gu's plan, and stared at him quietly for a long time, as if he wanted to carefully write down his appearance.

"Go ahead, they don't dare to do anything to me." Su Xiaocheng suddenly opened his mouth and smiled quietly.

Zhao Gu nodded, and was about to turn around and leave, when Su Xiaocheng suddenly asked, "Did you see that this girl is as beautiful as a flower, so you can't bear to destroy it, right?" ”

"How is that possible?" Zhao Gu smiled bitterly.

"You mean I'm pretty?" Su Xiaocheng said angrily.

"No, I'm just ......."

Su Xiaocheng interrupted him loudly and said, "When you hit me with an iron lock in the prison, the force was not small." I'm very vindictive, and I'm going to pay you back in the future. ”

"Okay."

Su Xiaocheng smiled like a flower, and the temperament of the whole person was like an empty valley orchid, but Zhao Gu still saw the nostalgia in her eyes.

But he didn't have anything to say, it was still a question of whether he would be alive after tonight, so even if he knew that Su Xiaocheng was interested in him, he didn't have any further thoughts with her.

Although it would be more romantic for him to hug Su Xiaocheng at this time, Zhao Gu still chose to leave resolutely. Sometimes, since you are destined not to get it, you just let it go.

Striding away, Zhao Gu had been quietly walking a long way before he jumped into the water, which shocked the two teams of people and horses.

Soon, the searchers gathered towards the place where Zhao Gu dived.

"Quick, catch them."

"Lord Tongzhi has an order, Zhao Gu is a spy of the Liao State, he is a dangerous person, if he can't be captured alive, he can't let him go, if necessary, he can be killed first and then reported."

"Don't let him go, Lord Tongzhi has issued a wanted warrant, whoever can kill Zhao Gu, the Lord will reward him with twenty copper coins."

Potentially in the water, Zhao Gu looked coldly at the civil official who was giving orders, and suddenly touched a hard object with his right hand.

Zhao Gu smiled coldly, threw it hard, and saw a round object in the shape of a parabola, accurately smashing on the mouth of the civil official.

I heard a cry of pain, and then someone wailed: "Bold Zhao Gu, dare to hit the adult's mouth with a stone, you are really damned." ”

Zhao Gu hit it just now, and immediately dived into the water, and when he heard this sound, he came out again, and another stone was thrown, and it smashed on the speaker's mouth again.

"Let you talk more!"

With a cold snort, Zhao Gu dived into the water and soon swam away, and behind him, there was the sound of arrows entering the water.
