Even though Zhu Youzhen shouted loudly, the Holy Maiden of the White Lotus Sect jumped off the river embankment without looking back, and a few ups and downs disappeared into the night. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Looking at the direction in which she disappeared, Zhu Youzhen somehow felt a little stunned in his heart. When Li Zhenyan anxiously urged him to cross the river quickly, he came back to his senses, but he patrolled the river embankment again to see if there were any missing explosive bags that had not been thrown away.

After being sure that the embankment was foolproof, Zhu Youzhen and Li Zhenyan climbed down the embankment, and sure enough, they found an unmanned boat by the river. Li Zhenyan was afraid that the people from Dongchang or the White Lotus Sect would chase her, so she hurriedly pulled Zhu Youzhen onto the boat, and the two immediately rocked the boat, and the boat sailed towards the opposite shore fluttering.

At that time, the water of the Yangtze River was very urgent, and the two of them struggled to rock the oars so that the boat could barely get out of an oblique line instead of being swept downstream by the river. However, Zhu Youzhen was not too nervous, and he survived the stormy waves of the vast sea, how could he be afraid of this river that is only a few miles wide?

In less than half an hour, the two had successfully arrived on the north bank of the Yangtze River. Looking north in the night, two cities can be faintly seen, that is, Hankou and Hanyang, which are called the "Three Towns of Wuhan" along with Wuchang.

Due to the suddenness of the incident, all the entanglements obtained from the sale of pearls were left with the horses, and now Zhu Youzhen has become a penniless poor bastard. In addition to the bag containing the seeds of the New World crops, which was carried on his body for a moment, the only property was the sword in Li Zhenyan's hand.

After a short period of thought, Zhu Youzhen decided that he could no longer follow the originally envisaged route and go north from Hankou to Zhengzhou along the official road. Because since he has been targeted by Dongchang, entering Hankou or Hanyang again is undoubtedly self-defeating, and it is also a life and death to bypass the city and take the official road.

But it is obviously not possible to rush the road, because Dongchang missed tonight, and it will definitely be searched in the vicinity in the next few days, and where to hide cannot ensure safety.

Therefore, for the sake of today, the only way to do this is to find another way and return to Qinwangzhuang as soon as possible. As long as he arrives at his own one-third of an acre of land, not to mention the strict guards, even if Wei Zhongxian complains to Tianqi that he has left the domain without permission, he can come to death and not admit it, anyway, he is not arrested.

Zhu Youzhen immediately used a sword as a pen and drew a sketch of Hubei, Henan, and Shaanxi on the ground with his memory. As can be seen from the map, the straight-line distance from Wuhan to Xi'an is about more than 1,000 miles. Among them, the section from Wuhan to Xiangyang is a relatively easy plain area; After Xiangyang, you will enter the Wudang Mountains, the famous Taoist holy land. Continue northwest along the northern foot of Wudang Mountain, and you will enter the Qinling Mountains, the watershed of northern and southern China. Over the lofty mountains of the Qinling Mountains, it is 800 miles of Qinchuan, and Jingyang County is not far away.

This section of the road is not only close in a straight line, but also mostly a mountain road, sparsely populated, and you can hide yourself at any time to avoid the pursuit of Dongchang or the White Lotus Sect. Therefore, Zhu Youzhen immediately decided to take this road!

As soon as they said to go, the two of them immediately ran wildly, until the two cities of Hankou and Hanyang were far behind them, and the sky was hazy and bright, so they dared to stop and rest for a while.

However, it is located in the Jianghan Plain, which is flat and has many rivers and lakes, and is densely populated, full of villages, towns, farmland and roads. Zhu Youzhen is now a frightened bird, as long as there is a pedestrian on the road, everyone looks like a fan of Dongchang.

Therefore, they do not even dare to walk the paths between villages and towns, and only walk through the relatively few farmlands. As the Yangtze River is getting farther and farther away, the crops in the fields are gradually changing from rice to wheat. At this time, it is the beginning of the summer solar term, the wheat is close to ripe, and the golden ears of wheat are blown by the breeze, making the wheat field show beautiful wheat waves. It seems that this year will usher in a rare harvest year.

However, after all, the ears of wheat cannot be eaten directly, and the two of them dare not enter the villages and towns to buy food now, and they are penniless, so they can't buy it if they want to. Coupled with the overnight journey, I was really tired and hungry at this time, and I was extremely exhausted. So they lay down in the wheat field and rested for a while, because the ears of wheat were more than two feet tall and would not be noticed.

said that it was a nap, Zhu Youzhen actually slept until the red sun drooped this night. By the time he woke up, Li Zhenyan had already caught a few hedgehogs and a snake in the wheat field. Zhu Youzhen couldn't help but smile bitterly, thinking that if he hadn't returned to the Central Plains now, it would be better to fish on Yuyu Island, at least there would be delicious grilled fish to eat.

Fortunately, after more than half a year of hard training, his ability to survive in the wild is already very strong. Taking advantage of the fact that there was no one outside, they raised a bonfire by chiseling stones, peeled off the skin of the hedgehog and the snake, and roasted it on the fire until it was half-baked, and immediately extinguished the fire to prevent it from being too conspicuous in the night to be discovered by others.

Barely filling their stomachs, the two embarked on a journey north again. At this time, the sky is full of stars, the breeze is blowing, and it is very cool. Because there was no Dongchang fan chasing after them, their mood was also a lot easier. Only then did they have time to talk about what had happened to them.

They first guessed how Dongchang had discovered their whereabouts. Later, it was concluded that the more densely populated the big city, the more secret agents in Dongchang, and it may be that the two were targeted after entering Wuchang Mansion. It seems that the choice is still correct, although there are no horses, it will be much slower to trek through mountains and rivers, but the probability of meeting Dongchang is also minimized.

Then the conversation shifted to the White Lotus Sect. Li Zhenyan couldn't help but say with palpitations: "Lord Wang, you are also bold!" That girl pointed a sword at you, why do you dare to talk back to her? I'm afraid she'll be angry and hurt you! ”

Zhu Youzhen recalled it, and naturally he was a little afraid. But he also said stubbornly: "The old man taught us that there is no love for no reason in the world, and there is no hate for no reason. Since that saint would rather fight with Dongchang than save us, she must have a plan, how could she let us die easily. I just got her right, that's why I dared to play tricks, hehehehe! ”

"There is no love for no reason, and there is no hate for no reason..."Li Zhenyan muttered this sentence again, and said thoughtfully, "Which old man taught the prince this sentence?" Sounds so philosophical..."

"This..."Zhu Youzhen said embarrassedly, "This old man, that is really a great man who has not been born in China for 5,000 years, but unfortunately he is not in the world." ”

"Don't hide from Zhenyan, I think this sentence is made by you!" Li Zhenyan tilted her head to look at Zhu Youzhen and said with a smile, "I think that although that girl's face is cold, her heart is not vicious, otherwise how could she not stop the prince from destroying the explosives." Perhaps, she has some love for you for no reason! ”

"Where are you going, is this king so attractive?" Although Zhu Youzhen was joking with Li Zhenyan like this, the face of the mysterious woman involuntarily appeared in his mind.
