Chapter 228 Absconding

"General, general......" A scout rushed up the hillside, panting and reporting to Ying Taoyu: "General, my subordinates have heard that Yue Guo has sent many horses and horses to scatter all rivers, lakes, cities and villages, as if searching for extremely important people. The subordinates got a lone Yue soldier, and the news they got from his mouth that the person they wanted to arrest described and looked like the king. It's just that these soldiers don't know his identity, they only say that someone has met this person, and the person who can catch him will be rewarded with a thousand gold, and he will be immediately promoted to general. ”

"Oh!" Ying Tao was moved, this time he was running around, listening to the news of Qingji, too lazy to freshen up, Ying Tao was unkempt, the image was no different from a wild man, he pulled up the scout of the horse, and said hurriedly: "Oh? Is the news serious? ”

"Really, general, the news that the Yue soldiers confessed, his subordinates had caught a second person to corroborate, and it was generally the same, so he rushed back to report."

Ying Tao was excited, he hurriedly walked around the cave a few times, stood still and said to himself: "The king is really alive, I know that the king is blessed by the gods and will never die easily, huh...... Can you find out, where are the Yue people's military horses searching? ”

The scout is experienced and sophisticated, but all the information that can be knocked out in these aspects, but he will not miss a little, he immediately said the place where Qingji was first discovered, as well as the several roads that the Yue people focused on searching, Ying Tao closed his eyes and pondered for a moment, combined with the information he had already mastered, nodded and said: "From that king's sword, he must have found a ship to hide, and as a result, he was carried to the Yue country." Judging from the place where he was found and the water and land roads that the Yue people focused on blocking, this is the case with the ** of the Ten, if the Yue people block these key roads, the king is alone, and there are injuries on his body, I am afraid that he will not be able to escape......"

He gritted his teeth and shouted, "Gather the men and horses immediately, and let's go into the Yue Kingdom to meet the king." ”

"General, no." The adjutant general was taken aback when he heard this, and hurriedly stepped forward to stop him: "General Ying, what has happened to our lone army, it is better to inform General Sun as soon as possible, and move the army to go again." Besides, now that even the Yue people don't know where the king is, how can we find out the whereabouts of the king, if the army is ......"

"You and I can wait, can the king wait? The king must now be looking for a way back to the north, as long as we enter the country of Yue and attract the Yue [***] soldiers, the king will have a chance to escape. Listen to my orders, gather men and horses immediately, and enter the country of Yue! ”

"Brother Shi, what's the situation outside now?"

As soon as Brother Shi came back, Qingji asked anxiously.

Lao Shi nodded and said, "This time I entered the city, I talked to my cousin." I'm going to send Guang'er to live for a few days......"

Xiaoguang excitedly held her father's hand, her face was full of red light, of course she was happy to be with her mother. Brother Shi paused when he said this, the wrinkles on his face deepened, Qingji can imagine that even if he is a good relative, a sick relative and friend often troubles him like this, I am afraid that he will not have a good face, Lao Shi entered the city this time, delayed for several days, I am afraid that he will plead with people in a low voice. He is not old, but he seems to be overwhelmed by the weight of life, and his slender and long body is always slightly slumped on his shoulders.

Lao Shi shook his head and said with a strong spirit: "I came back from the city, and I looked carefully all the way back and forth, but fortunately, as usual, no one interrogated." I figured that it wouldn't be hard to send you back without you knowing. However, I have heard that the Wu army is now often present at the border, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has sent a large army to the border to guard against it. This time, the fastest way, we can't go, I thought...... Directly send you the ...... back along the north of the river"

Qingji returned to his heart like an arrow, and hurriedly asked, "So, what does Brother Shi mean?" ”

Lao Shi let his daughter sit on his lap, patted her gently, and said in a deep voice: "Let's go this afternoon, take my bamboo row, let's go south first, and when we get to Xilukou, a friend of mine in Xilukou sends Xiaoguang to the city, let's go directly east into Taohuadu, from there we go upstream, pass Huiji Mountain, go to Laolongkou and then turn north, you can row into Xitiaoxi, then you can go straight down the five lakes, and reach Gusu City." ”

He sighed and said: "The water network in the south of the Yangtze River is dense, and the rivers are connected, so it is not difficult to bypass it at all, but it will take a few more efforts to get around." ”

Qingji raised his eyebrows and said: "Although this will take a long detour, it is much safer, so it will be done according to what Brother Shi said." He looked at Xiaoguang and said, "Brother Shi, why don't you bring your sister-in-law and Xiaoguang with you, and let's go together." I promise you, I will do it. When I arrive in the country of Wu, I will properly settle your family, and I will never treat my life-saving benefactor badly. Moreover, there are old and young people in the family, both male and female, and it is even less suspicious. ”

Brother Shi showed a slight smile on his face: "Brother Xi, we don't get along much, but from your words and deeds, I can see that you don't have to pick your character and surname...... It's really nostalgic, but my wife ......."

He shook his head with a sad face: "My wife has been sick since she gave birth to Xiaoguang, and she has never been cured, and her body is very weak, and I am afraid of taking a bamboo raft...... Ahem, I can trust you, and I don't mean to save your life, so I will stay at your house for the rest of my life to eat and drink......"

The big man, when he said this, his face was slightly confused, and he was a little embarrassed: "I'll help you, first, I think...... War, that's the business of adults and countrymen, and it's not close to us poor people. Second, I didn't push the surname Xi to people who had no way to ask for help. These three come ......"

He glanced at Qingji, and said expectantly: "I just want to...... Get some money, you can hire a good doctor, grab some useful medicinal herbs, and cure the baby and her mother......"

"Don't worry!" Qingji Zhengrong said: "I will do my best, as long as I am here, I will definitely do these things!" ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※※

The boat travels on the river, the green mountains on both sides, and there are several fish boats and bamboo rafts from far and near. The green river water is like silk, the bamboo raft rows on the water, sometimes the clear water will flow over the edge of the bamboo raft due to the urgency, the clear water flows under the soles of the feet, itchy, like a small fish struggling to get out, Xiaoguang will suddenly lift the little feet, and wait until the water flows past, then put down.

"Xiaoguang, this Lu sharpening knife is very good, give it to you."

Qingji took out the beautiful knife from his arms and gave it to Xiaoguang who was sitting on the side, Xiaoguang took it and said in surprise: "I'm a girl, what's the use of asking for it." ”

Qingji winked at her and smiled, "How can it be useless?" He leaned close to Xiaoguang's ear and whispered: "Use it to cut fish, your fish soup is very delicious, often boil some fish soup for your mother to drink, and your body may be better." ”

"Oh......" Xiaoguang bit her lip, and secretly looked at her father who was standing in front of him with a bamboo penny supporting the bamboo raft, seeing that he didn't pay attention to the conversation between the two, she quickly hid the fish in her arms like a baby, she patted her chest uneasily, to make sure it was there, and suddenly sighed: "Alas, as soon as I enter the city, I have nowhere to touch the fish, how can I have the money to buy fish for my mother to eat......"

Before she finished speaking, a string of crystal clear emerald jade pendants was already shaking under the tip of her nose, Xiaoguang looked up in surprise, and saw Qingji with a smile in his eyes, holding the string of jade pendants in his hand.

"Give it to you, take it, meet someone who knows the goods, this thing...... You can exchange a lot of money......"

"I ......" Xiaoguang subconsciously looked at his father, Brother Shi waved the penny, and with a hard push in the water, the bamboo raft broke through the water and rushed forward, he turned around occasionally, and saw the situation of the two of them, and said busily: "Brother Xi, what do you mean by this?" I haven't sent you to the place yet, how can I accept your thank you. ”

"Brother Shi, if you save my life, there is more to thank you than that. This jade ornament, just when I thank Miss Xiaoguang for her careful care these days, the dowry given to her is good. ”

Brother Shi hesitated for a moment, but did not refuse again, he touched his beard and laughed hehehe: "Speaking of dowry, I'm ashamed, my daughter is about to grow up, and I will have to find my in-law in a few years, and I didn't save anything for her as a father, cough!" My friend Lao Hua in Xilukou has a son, seven or eight years older than Xiaoguang, a very good child, called Hua Sheng, two days ago from the city back to meet Lao Hua, he also told me to pull a family, to let me give Xiaoguang to his son, I pondered waiting to wait for the city to ask her mother meaning, you see, you gave a valuable dowry, hehe, our two families, can be regarded as a good ......."

"Daughter, don't marry him, people have seen that Hua Sheng, black and fat, with a big crocodile tattooed on his body, he looks so fierce......"

Hikari pursed her lips and protested unhappily.

"What do you know about your little family?" Boss Shi narrowed his eyes: "That kid is in this area, and he is a good hand at fishing." Marrying a man and marrying a man, dressing and eating, marrying a man is to pick a capable person who can afford to support you, and your father can rest assured. Man, what does it look like to have a fart relationship? ”

Boss Shi stared at his daughter after training, there was a rapids in front of him because of the drop, he was afraid that the raft would overturn, so he hurriedly turned around and concentrated on supporting the penny. Qingji chuckled at Xiaoguang and said: "It turns out that Xiaoguang is going to get married soon, or to marry a black and fat fat guy, haha, you can't just eat so much every day in the future, you have to raise yourself to be strong." ”

"Why?" Hikari blinked at him in surprise with innocent eyes.

"Uh...... cough cough", Qingji touched his nose and whispered: "How about it, with this jade pendant, you can buy some delicious food for your mother, uncle or is it not a bad uncle?" ”

Xiaoguang gave him a fierce look, but she was not an unreasonable little girl in the end, she was short-handed, so she had to squeak and say, "No...... No...... It's ......"

Qingji teased her and said: "No, yes, yes, you are very cunning, what you said is ambiguous, then you call good uncle directly." ”

Xiaoguang smiled, his face was flushed, but he was embarrassed to change his words, Qingji was about to rush back to his country, he was in a good mood, and he had the heart to force her to say a few more words, at this moment, someone in front of him shouted: "Stop, stop, accept the inspection." ”

The waterway in front of them narrowed, and the current became urgent, and under the trees next to them, there were several Yue [***] pawns lazily, and one of them was waving to them.

Qingji hurriedly pressed the bamboo hat down, and said to Brother Shi, "Lean over." ”

From the actions and demeanor of those people, he could see that these Vietnamese soldiers were not suspicious of them, and they should be able to fool them. After all, Brother Shi has been under the authority of the government for a long time, and what he is doing now is not visible, so he is a little nervous in his heart, but he can still calm down, although his heart is like a drum, his face can still remain calm, and he responded vaguely: "Coming, coming." While deliberately paddling the bamboo raft slowly.

Xiaoguang nervously grabbed Qingji's arm, Qingji pressed the bamboo hat slightly with one hand, patted her back with the other, and watched the movements of the soldiers vigilantly from under the bamboo hat.

"What are you doing, where are you going?"

"Go to the city and visit relatives." Brother Shi nodded and smiled, deliberately taking two steps to let them notice his lameness.

These soldiers were originally sent here to deal with the matter, these soldiers did not know that their real mission was to induce the Wu army to fall into the net in a hurry, and they had never even seen the portrait of Qingji, because the Yue court did not believe that Qingji would run to Yue by mistake during the war, they just speculated from Wu Jun's reaction that they had not found Qingji's whereabouts, so they used Qingji as bait to eat the lone army of Yingtao, so they only in important cities, At the passage, a portrait of Qingji was posted by Bo Ya himself, which was just a show for the Yue scouts.

What's more, the direction of Boss Shi's boat at this time is not to go to Wu State, but to the hinterland of Yue Kingdom, so the suspicious surname is very small, the soldier is just very bored, seeing the little girl on the raft with pink makeup, cute and cute, just call them to relieve boredom at will.

Then when he noticed Xiaoguang's vigilant and frightened look, he couldn't help but be suspicious, he immediately grabbed the spear in his hand, pointed at Qingji and asked Boss Shi, "Which one is he?" Hey, what about you, look up. ”

Qingji raised his head slowly, and Boss Shi said with a smile: "Master Jun, the two of them...... It was my brother and daughter who followed me into the city to visit relatives. Master Jun, what's going on...... I haven't seen any checks on the road before. ”

"Your brother and daughter?" The man looked Qingji and Xiaoguang up and down scrutinically: "Little girl, you are so nervous...... What are you afraid of? ”

"Uncle, I'm afraid ......" Xiaoguang will make a fool, crying timidly, hiding behind Qingji, pulling one of his sleeves to cover his face, and looking at the man timidly.

A soldier leaning on a green bamboo pole said lazily: "Okay, okay, it's a hot day, what to talk about with them, you can also talk to such a small woman, let them go." ”

Before the man could speak, Boss Shi had already nodded to the person who spoke and said, "Thank you Jun Ye, thank you Jun Ye, the little one will go, this will ...... go" After speaking, he hurriedly picked up the penny and stretched the raft open.

"......" The soldier who was checking raised his hand, Boss Shi's boat had rowed two feet away, he spat boringly, turned around and walked back, and said with a smile: "It's a beautiful embryo, it must be a little goblin who grows up to be a dead man, but it's a pity, it's too fucking small, and it hasn't grown enough flavor......

As soon as I talked about women, these people suddenly came to the spirit, and a few people were dancing with their eyebrows, and at this moment,

Xiao Wu Chang, who was leaning on the green bamboo just now, turned his head, and suddenly saw a group of people and horses coming, immediately jumped up, ran up with a smoke, nodded and smiled: "My lord, why are you here?" ”

The people and horses lined up in a long line, and they were coming, and after the captain finished speaking, he slapped the other party: "Blind thing, adults are here, where to salute?" ”

After speaking, he turned around sharply and said with a smile: "My lord, this is the first checkpoint we have set, and if you go sixty miles further, you will be out of our border." ”

The captain looked at the two Lord Sima, but saw a person galloping out of the team, dressed in armor and with a red tassel on his head, the captain looked a little familiar at first, and then realized that it was actually the brigade commander of his own army, and couldn't help but be startled, and hurriedly bowed down and saluted: "I have seen the brigade marshal in my humble position." ”

"Well......" The brigade commander rode on his horse, and without looking at them, he glanced into the distance with a smile, took out a roll of animal skins from his bosom, and said, "This place is good, and there is an ambush here." Luo Liangsima, you sent someone to pretend to be the person who chased and killed Qingji with this scroll, and you want to deliberately fall into the body of the Wu people and lead the Wu army that killed into our country to chase here. ”

The two horses were stunned and said, "My lord, aren't they coming in our direction?" ”

The brigade commander said impatiently: "Nonsense! But they are aimless, and they don't know how many detours they have taken, do you know if he will turn around somewhere else next? If we don't lead him into our encirclement, how can we completely annihilate this Wu army? Rest your mouth and get ready. ”

"Yes, yes......" The two Sima were scolded by a stinking call, very boring, and hurriedly stepped forward to pick up the animal skin.

Before his hand could catch the scroll, the marshal on the horse had let go, and a gust of wind blew the thin leather scroll down to the grass.

When Xiao Wu Chang saw it, he hurriedly ran forward to pick up the painting, ran to the two Sima adults with small steps, and said flatteringly: "My lord, here you are." ”

"Humph!" The two Sima lost face in front of their subordinates, and they didn't dare to show their authority to the superiors, so they glared at the little Wu Chang fiercely, snatched the painting from his hand, and unfolded it to look at it.

The little captain stood beside him, glanced at the painting, and suddenly his eyes glared, and he screamed strangely!
