Chapter 157: One Step First
The full moon hung in the air.
There were several bonfires lit in the camp.
Two soldiers sat around each campfire.
The soldiers rarely talked to each other, and even if someone couldn't stand the silence of the night, they would keep their voices low when they talked to each other.
The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of the night.
The night watchmen rose to their feet, blades in hand, looking at the place where the hoofs sounded.
In the night, a white shadow sped in.
Seeing the camp from afar, the white shadow turned around the horse's head and ran in the other direction.
It didn't take long for dozens of fast horses to follow.
"Go over there!" The night watchmen faintly heard someone shouting.
Dozens of fast horses turned around and galloped away, apparently chasing after the departing man.
"What's going on?" Yuan Xu, who had already slept, heard the movement and walked out of the tent.
And all the people in the camp came out of their tents.
The soldiers dragged their spears and prepared for battle at any time.
"Returning to the childe." One of the night watchmen clenched his fists and said, "A man in a white robe rode by, and dozens of people chased him. ”
"Can you see me?"
"Not yet."
Looking in the direction pointed by the soldier, Yuan Xu didn't see anyone.
All the people who had passed by the camp were riding horses, and they should have gone far.
"Let's all go back and rest." I didn't think those people would target them, Yuan Xu ordered.
Everyone answered, and each returned to his tent.
Before returning to the tent, Ma Fei instructed the night watchmen, "Be on alert." ”
Seeing dozens of fast horses approaching the camp, the night watchmen did not dare to slack off.
The night passed, but nothing unusual happened.
The morning sun pierces the night, and the sun shines on the earth.
The soldiers put away their tents one after another and stacked them on the accompanying carts.
Looking up at the rising sun, Yuan Xu frowned.
Except for him and Zhu Gongdao, there were only more than a dozen soldiers in the team riding war horses, and the rest were infantry.
In addition, it also carried two carriages, and the speed of travel was extremely slow.
When he returned to Yecheng, Yuan Xi would probably have already gotten his wish.
"Childe!" Ma Fei came to Yuan Xu's side: "It's time to hit the road!" ”
"It's too slow!" Yuan Xu suddenly burst out.
"What's too slow?" Ma Fei was stunned.
"Most of the people are walking, and this place is far away from Yecheng, so I don't know how long it will take to reach it."
"What are you going to do?"
"So-and-so go first, and you wait to follow."
"No!" Ma Fei hurriedly said: "The road ahead is long, and the second son has the heart to deal with it, and he must have a backhand." Childe returned alone...... Absolutely! ”
"After a certain departure, you sent a messenger to Yecheng to report to your father." Yuan Xu said: "When my father learned that a certain person had returned, the second brother would not dare to make a mistake!" ”
"The messenger has not arrived, and the son may have returned to Yecheng."
"Needless to say, you will lead ......"
"You can let Ma Yi and justice accompany you."
Glancing at Zhu Gongdao and Ma Yi, who were busy with their respective work, Yuan Xu said: "If there are many people, the trip will be delayed, and only one person can take Li Jiang alone!" ”
"Childe ......"
Ma Fei wanted to say more, but Yuan Xu stopped him: "Beckon everyone to go on the road, take a step ahead!" ”
Not very relieved that he would only take Li Jiang first, Ma Fei still wanted to persuade again, Yuan Xu had already greeted Li Jiang.
and Li Jiang mounted their horses, and Yuan Xu rode his horse to leave the camp that was ready to be opened.
"Childe, where are you going?" Seeing him leave with Li Jiang, Ma Yi and Zhu Gongdao came to Ma Fei's side.
"Return to Yecheng first." Ma Fei replied.
"How so?" The two were taken aback, and said fairly: "Even if you return first, you should bring more people." ”
Ma Fei frowned, ignored the two, and shouted to everyone in the camp: "Gongzi has returned to Yecheng, don't wait any longer!" ”
Knowing that Yuan Xu left first, everyone in the camp hastened to pack up.
Zhu Gongdao shouted to more than ten people with war horses: "Don't be stunned, go and chase after the son!" ”
More than a dozen people answered, mounted their horses, and rushed out of the camp with their whips raised.
"Childe has an order...... "I wish justice to let people chase out, and Ma Fei hurriedly stopped it.
"There's a fart order!" Zhu Gongdao glared at him: "If the son has a mistake, he will never break with you!" ”
With a flick of the sentence, he turned around and walked towards Mrs. Zhu's carriage.
"Mother!" When he got to the car, he clenched his fists and said, "Childe will return to Yecheng first, and the child is worried about ...... if there is a mistake."
"Needless to say!" Mrs. Zhu's voice came from the carriage: "The son is kind to my mother and son, and if the mother is a man, she will also chase after him." ”
"Thank you, Mother!" After thanking him, Zhu Gongdao arched his hand to Zhang Shuang and turned to leave.
Looking at his back, Zhang Shuang's expression was very complicated.
She has no ill feelings towards justice.
After getting married, they only got along for a few days, and she even felt that Zhu Justice was the bloody man she wanted to marry.
It's just that he was trampled under his feet that day, and no matter how much he thought about it, he was not happy in his heart.
Zhu Gong Dao had already taken a few steps, and Zhang Shuang shouted: "Husband! ”
Looking back at her, Zhu Gongdao looked confused.
Since he got married, Zhang Shuang called him like this for the first time.
"Take care ......" Zhang Shuang blushed and said two words.
Grinning, Zhu Gongdao arched his hand to her again and turned to leave.
Seeing that Zhu Gong walked out of the camp, Ma Yi also wanted to follow, and Ma Fei dragged him down.
"What are you going to do?"
"So-and-so will go with ......"
Ma Fei glared at him: "Gongzi has a word, he wants me to lead everyone to Yecheng, if you and I follow, why don't you scatter everyone?" ”
"But ......"
"Don't say anything!" Ma Fei interrupted him: "Mrs. Zhu and Miss Nian'er are here, if we also leave, who will protect them?" ”
Ma Yi was stunned for a moment: "But ......"
"Don't!" Ma Fei said in an accentuated tone: "With a certain way, lead everyone to march quickly!" ”
Why didn't Ma Fei want to catch up with Yuan Xu and escort him to Yecheng?
If he leaves, with Ma Yi's arrogant temperament, he will lead a team of two or three hundred people, and he may not cause any trouble in the middle of the road.
Since Yuan Xu asked him to lead everyone, he could only act according to orders.
Riding his horse and galloping, Yuan Xu rushed out of twenty or thirty miles in one breath, and Li Jiang, who followed him, shouted: "Childe, it seems that someone is chasing you!" ”
Looking back, he saw more than a dozen fast horses following him.
The distance is very far, and Yuan Xu can still see at a glance that it is Zhu Justice who is at the forefront.
"Wait for them!" shouted to Li Jiang, and Yuan Xu slowed down.
Zhu Gongdao and the others galloped on horseback, and it didn't take long for them to catch up.
Catching up with Yuan Xu, Zhu Gongdao shouted: "I'll go with my son!" ”
glanced at the people behind him, but didn't see Ma Fei and Ma Yi, Yuan Xu was relieved.
Without blaming Zhu Gongdao, he nodded his head and urged the war horse to speed up again.
More than a dozen fast horses followed, galloping all the way, running in the direction of Yecheng.
After walking for more than ten miles, Li Jiang pointed to the side of the road in front and shouted, "Son, look! ”
