Chapter 34: Escape (Happy Children's Day to everyone)
Under Tang Shi's care, Zhao Jun and Zhao Ling rode a horse together, and soon left the north gate overnight.
However, Zhao Jun went around again, returned to Shansangli Village at night, and quietly put the title deed of his five acres of fertile land in Xu Weng's house in the same village, which can be regarded as repaying his kindness.
After understanding everything, the Zhao Jun brothers and sisters stood in front of their courtyard and reluctantly glanced at them before leaving.
Before leaving, Zhao Ling also put a lot of food in the yard, just so that the hen Xiaohua who laid eggs would not starve to death.
Perhaps, someone will adopt this hen that lays eggs, or kill and eat it, maybe
All of this is not something that Zhao Jun's brothers and sisters can care about.
Riding a horse and running to the northwest, there is the nearest border of Pei County, you can escape from Pei County the fastest, as long as you get out of Pei County, even if you enter the boundary of Xiang County.
Xiang County is the main county of Surabaya County, which is equivalent to the provincial capital city of later generations, and of course, Pei County also belongs to Surabaya County.
The roads in Xiangxian County are accessible, and it is easy to find out here, which is equivalent to giving Zhao Jun enough time to escape.
And if you go to the northwest of Xiang County, you can cross Surabaya County at the fastest speed and lead to Dang County in the northwest. In ancient times, transportation and communication were not convenient, and as long as the Zhao army fled there, it was basically safe.
Of course, Zhao Jun didn't know about these terrains, and Tang Li told him about them. In ancient times, there were very few roads, and it was often a road leading to a certain place, and few trails branched off. So, as long as you follow this path, you generally won't get lost.
After escaping, Zhao Jun faced two paths, one was to hide incognito. Another one is to find a way to clear the charge.
In the troubled times of feudal society, Zhao Jun has neither Xiang Yu's wealthy background nor Liu Bang's aura as the protagonist of the times.
Of course, it's still far from considering these now, and it's unrealistic.
Now, Zhao Jun is mainly thinking about how to escape.
Along the way, Zhao Jun took a hat and rarely talked to people, only occasionally went to the villages he passed by, begging for saliva and food, and the ancient people were much more simple and kind, and they would generally be hospitable.
In addition, Zhao Jun did not skimp money all the way, and occasionally bumped into the official or the errand in the pavilion, and he also avoided the past without danger, and everyone only said that he was going to Xiangxian to find relatives.
Looking for people to rest at night, rushing during the day, Zhao Jun followed the road the next day and walked to the northwest boundary of Pei County, the main road to Xiang County.
However, when I reached the end of the road, I came across a mountain that was not too big or small, so the road became more and more narrow until I reached the mountain.
When Zhao Jun saw this, he was a little unsure whether this road led to Pei County. He saw an old man on the side of the road who looked like a pedestrian, carrying a coarse cloth package on his back, with a wrinkled face and a dark face in his forties, obviously a person who often traveled in all directions.
"Uncle, do you know how to go to Xiangxian here?"
"You know, what are you doing?"
The old man glanced at Zhao Jun, and he couldn't see his face clearly with a hat.
It's just a black tight coat, with a long cloth package on his back, and he doesn't know what's inside, tall and strong, and he listens to the voice very young.
Zhao Jun smiled and said, "Oh, my sister and I went to Xiangxian County to join our relatives, and we don't remember the way when we went out for the first time." ”
After hearing this, the old man nodded, the ancients were enthusiastic and loyal, so they didn't doubt it.
Seeing Zhao Jun holding a yellow horse behind him, there was a little girl with a clear face, an innocent smile, and a likable girl, so he had no doubts.
"You follow this trail all the way to the north, over this mountain, in the front of three or two miles, you will come across a small ferry, across the river is Xiangxian.
The boatmen there are not bad, and they are good at sailing boats. Moreover, he is a famous Ren Xia of our generation, and he has gathered a large group of people under him, and he has a rough temperament.
Your horse will surely help you cross the river, so go. ”
"Then thank you, uncle."
Zhao Jun was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect that there would be this stubble, the Spring and Autumn Period was a big ritual, and the Warring States Period collapsed, and Mozi Renxia also began to change his taste.
However, he didn't pay much attention to it, bowed his hand, and then continued on his way. It's just that when you reach the foot of the mountain, you can't ride a horse, you have to get off the horse and lead the horse.
This mountain is green and lush, and the scenery is very good, but it is not tall, and there are mountain paths, so it only took more than an hour for the two of them to cross the mountain.
After walking a short distance, he vaguely heard the river rushing forward, and Zhao Jun thought that it should be the old man who said to cross the river.
"Brother, there's a forest ahead, we're there, let's rest." Zhao Ling was suddenly on the horse and pointed to the poplar forest in front of the path, not far away.
I saw this path, which zigzagged into the woods, and presumably it was not far from the woods to the ferry.
Zhao Jun nodded and said, "Well, okay." ”
Anyway, it's here, I don't care about this time, it's a rush in the morning, and it's climbing the mountain, Zhao Jun is also a little tired, Zhao Ling still has some dry food behind him, and he has used it to walk.
At this time, in the depths of the poplar forest, there were dozens of people, and more than a dozen of them were dressed as officials and equipped with sharp swords. There were also twenty men, all dressed as ordinary people, but they all had weapons in their hands, some were cowhide and wooden shields, some were bows and crossbows, and some were short knives.
The leader is Lu Juan, who is also seven feet tall, but his arms are very thick and his eyes are bright.
He has a long horse face, a bloody mouth, and is a little scary up close, wearing the warden's costume.
"Why haven't you come yet, Zhao Jun, this guy, shouldn't he have already walked over." Lu Juan was a little anxious, but he also said it with his mouth, and he knew very well in his heart that he set off half a day earlier than Zhao Jun, and it was still above board, which was definitely much faster than the time when Zhao Jun hid and came here.
It's just that Lu Juan is very jealous of Zhao Jun and is bent on Zhao Jun's death, so he just doesn't feel at ease.
The man with a long horse face and a bloody mouth said with fierce eyes: "I want to see how powerful this Zhao Jun is, he can fight with Tuzi for hundreds and ten rounds, I was not in Pei County last year, this time I want to teach him a good lesson." ”
"Ren Ao, don't be careless, this Zhao Jun has something special." Lu Juan opened his mouth with a cautious expression.
Ren Ao and Liu Ji are also lifelong friends, before Zhao Jun came, he was recognized as the second person who could fight in Pei County, except for Fan Xu, in terms of force, no one was convinced.
Last year, he was sent to escort the laborers, and he didn't come back until last month, and he went home to save his relatives, and this time he happened to encounter this incident.
Ren Ao said calmly: "Well, I know this." ”
Although he is arrogant and strong, he is meticulous and alert, and he has always done things safely, which is why Lu Juan has the confidence to kill Zhao Jun.
Moreover, there are also these horses who are judged and eaten, and they have shields and bows, which are the old foundations of the judges, and can restrain Zhao Jun's flying knives.
"Lu Xuan, he's here, just came down the mountain." At this moment, suddenly a man ran from outside the woods, also wearing the warden's clothes.
Lu Xuan's eyes were cold, and he said murderously: "Okay, Zhao Jun, depending on where you run this time, I will definitely let you die without a place to be buried." ”
Lu Juan had absolute confidence and killed Zhao Jun.
