Zhao Xue asked for a long time, and finally knew the general idea of this matter from Zhao Yun's words.

It turned out that since Zhao Yun took the risk to save Gongsun Zhan, he had already guessed that his appearance was seen by Chen Nuo, and he might also be seen by his sister. It doesn't matter if Chen Nuo sees it, the key is that if he lets his sister see it, with his sister's personality, he knows that he may come to him to explain this matter clearly. And because he was in Gongsun Zhan's army, and his sister was on Yuan Shao's side, if his sister ventured to find it, he was afraid that he would harm his sister. For this reason, he banished the white horse he was accustomed to riding, just to let Zhao Xue or Chen Nuo see it, and then let them not act rashly, he would come to them. However, when Zhao Xue came, she was bent on looking for Zhao Yun, but she didn't notice the white horse, and only when she came back did she bump into it by mistake. And when Zhao Xue entered Gongsun Zhan's army and made a mess of the former army, Zhao Yun actually knew that his sister was coming. Although he knew that his sister must be in danger at the time, he couldn't show up at will to save people, so after thinking about it left and right, he lit a fire in the Chinese army to distract Gongsun Zhan. Not to mention, as soon as this fire burned, the Chinese army was in chaos in an instant, and it also indirectly affected the front army, so that Dian Wei calmly rescued Zhao Xue. And when he arrived at the front army, to see that the chaos had gradually subsided, he took advantage of the darkness to go out of the camp to see if the white horse had waited for the person he wanted to wait for. Unexpectedly, the sister that Baima was waiting for would let his brother and sister meet again.

Zhao Xue heard it before and after, and her heart was a little relaxed: "In this way, General Dian and they have escaped." ”

Zhao Yun asked, "Is there anyone else who came with Xue'er?" "Apparently he didn't pay attention to that when he came out. Zhao Xue couldn't tell him clearly, anyway, let her know that when her brother came out, the chaos of the former army had subsided, and most of the Dian Wei had already saved Zhu Rong Qingyi out of the siege, and they were all safe. Thinking of this, Zhao Xue's eyes rolled, and then she thought of something, and asked: "How about it, my brother took the risk to rescue Gongsun Lao'er this time, presumably Gongsun Lao'er will not treat your brother badly, right?" I don't know when Gongsun Lao'er seduces your brother, or is it a consolation for you? ”

Zhao Yun smiled bitterly: "Xue'er, when did you become a philistine, is it important to have these?" As soon as Zhao Xue heard what Zhao Yun said, she immediately understood and avenged him: "However, if Gongsun Lao'er hadn't rescued him in time this time, he would have been captured alive by General Dian, did he treat his benefactor like this?" Hmph, brother, I don't think Gongsun Lao'er is worthy of your brother's life, my brother might as well go to General Chen's account with my sister now, and let General Chen give you an official and a half-job It will never be a problem! ”

Zhao Yun shook his head: "Are you talking about Chen Ranzhi?" If I go to Chen Ranzhi's place, sister, you tell me that he is giving me an official, so who is doing it for him? Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment and said, "Of course it's Yuan Benchu!" Zhao Yun's brows moved slightly, and said: "Xue'er, you forgot, the reason why we almost parted in life and death in the first place, who gave it to us?" That's not him Yuan Benchu? Xue'er, you asked me to go to him now, why do you embarrass me? ”

When Zhao Xue heard this, she sneered: "Brother, didn't I tell you, that Zhu Han is Yuan Benchu's subordinate is good, but he worked in Han Fu's hands before he came to Yuan Benchu's account, and before he was recruited, he deliberately played Yuan Benchu's banner, so this matter can't be blamed on Yuan Benchu's head......" Before the words were finished, I saw Zhao Yun lowering his head, as if he was full of thoughts. When Zhao Xue saw it, she was stunned, and hurriedly grabbed Zhao Yun's arm and shook it twice: "Brother, what's wrong with you?" Is it because my brother doesn't like to hear it, I won't say anything about my sister. ”

Zhao Yun shook his head, suddenly took a long breath, glanced at Zhao Xue, seemed to have thought for a long time, and then said: "Xue'er, to be honest, I didn't have a good time under General Gongsun's tent, a person like him with eyes and no beads is indeed not worth seeing as you Xue'er said." But, Xue'er, do you know why General Gongsun treats me like this? ”

After a pause, he didn't wait for Zhao Xue to speak, and said directly, "There are two reasons for this, one is because I am from Jizhou. I remember that when General Gongsun saw me for the first time, he laughed at me and said that he heard that the people of Jizhou were willing to follow Yuan Benchu, and asked me why I came to him alone. I told him that the world was fierce, and the people were in danger of falling to the county, and I went to him to follow the place of benevolence. Although he eventually took me in, he was not optimistic about me, probably because I was from Jizhou, and he still refused to trust me. Second, although I have made achievements in his hands several times, I have never been satisfied, and I am still a small scout leader, even I don't understand. After that, I heard from the mouths of others that he was reluctant to promote me because he was afraid that others would ridicule him for appointing such a lowly and lowly person as a general, so that he would not be able to get by with his face......"

When Zhao Xue heard this, his body trembled slightly, knowing that his brother had suffered a lot of grievances under Gongsun Zhan's tent, his heart was also sour, he grabbed Zhao Yun's arm, and said: "Since his grandson Lao'er is so unkind to see his brother, his brother wants to stay away from him, why do you want to stay with him?" Zhao Yun patted the back of her hand and said, "Xue'er, how do you know, I think that I, Zhao Yun, have Lingyun ambitions, but I am tired by my life experience and don't treat others well, so I can't help it?" Thinking about it, his grandson Zan was only from the end of the world, but once he succeeded, he forgot all his old books, let alone others? If Xue'er said, I think your brother is going to defect to Yuan Benchu, with the prominent life and status of Yuan Benchu's fourth and third dukes, can he really appoint me? I'm afraid that it's even worse than under the account of General Gongsun, isn't it asking for hardship? ”

When Zhao Xue heard this, she was secretly sad: "Then brother, have you been succumbing to the account of Gongsun Lao'er like this?" ”

Zhao Yun shook his head, glanced at Zhao Xue, and said lightly: "No!" Didn't you just say that there is another place to go. Zhao Xue was dumbfounded, and suddenly thought: "Brother is talking about General Chen?" But brother ......" The corners of Zhao Yun's mouth were slightly together, and he smiled: "I mean I don't want to go to Chen Ranzhi's account, that's because Chen Ranzhi himself is still under someone else's account, and he is not free, what kind of mess do I go to him to make trouble?" I mean...... Once the time is ripe and he decides to carry the banner alone, if he doesn't dislike it, I, Zhao Yun, hope to help him and achieve his hegemony! ”

Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment, and then grinned: "It turns out that brother, you have such an idea, but brother, do you really think that General Chen can achieve hegemony?" Zhao Yun raised his head and sighed lightly: "During the Qin rebellion, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang ascended to the heights, and the Daohou King Xiangning had a kind of thing?" I think that Chen Ranzhi's ability is not small, although he is still under Yuan Benchu's account, but his reputation is increasing day by day, and he will succeed in covering the lord's momentum for a long time, even if Chen Ranzhi wants to continue to stay under Yuan Benchu's account, Yuan Benchu will not dare to keep him, the two of them, sooner or later there will be a battle. Therefore, in this world, it is not whether you can or not, but because you are forced by the situation, you have to do it! Once Chen Ranzhi is righteous, he is afraid that Yuan Benchu will be unstoppable, Gongsun Zan will be unstoppable, and the world will be unstoppable! ”

Zhao Xue heard that her blood was boiling, she grabbed Zhao Yun's arm tightly, and her face showed joy: "Brother, do you really think so?" Zhao Yun smiled: "Xue'er, I said Chen Ranzhi, why are you so excited, could it be that Xue'er ......" Before he finished speaking, he was immediately gagged by Zhao Xue with a slap and glanced at him. Zhao Yun was stunned for a moment, then laughed, nodded, and then shook his head again: "Good Chen Ranzhi, I asked him to take care of my sister, but I didn't expect that this time I would take care of my family, and I would have to recognize this brother-in-law in the future." ”

Zhao Xue's face was as red as boiling water, and she hurriedly shouted: "Brother talk nonsense again, see if I don't kill my brother!" Repeatedly grabbed Zhao Yun, so that in the end, Zhao Yun could only reluctantly abandon his weapon and surrender, and begged Zhao Xue for mercy again and again, Zhao Xue withdrew his claws, and did not look away in his heart. After Zhao Yun smiled, he thought that when he came out for a long time, his sister also saw him, but he was afraid that going back late would make Gongsun Chan suspicious, so he could only break Zhao Xue's body and say to Zhao Xue: "Okay, Xue'er has also seen her brother, and my brother also knows that Xue'er is doing well, so my brother can rest assured." It's not too early, and you should go back too, Cher. Speaking of this, he saw that Zhao Xue's eyes were suddenly filled with tears, and he hugged Zhao Yun: "But brother, I have only seen you for a while." ”

finally coaxed Zhao Xue not to cry, patted Zhao Xue's head, hooked her nose, and pushed her body: "Okay, go back quickly!" Zhao Xue touched her nose, and suddenly thought that Chen Nuo liked to do this action when she saw her, and her heart was sweet, and she thought that Chen Nuo was still in the city, so she couldn't wait to climb on the horse. When she got on horseback, she suddenly thought that it was difficult to meet her brother, but the reunion was so short, she couldn't help but be reluctant, but when she heard Zhao Yun's continuous urging, she had no choice but to leave without looking back.

Zhao Yun didn't take the white horse until after Zhao Xue left, sat on the back of the white horse, roared, and ran out of the Gongsun Zhan camp. Behind the white horse, the yellow horse heard Zhao Yun's whistling, and he followed behind him and left with Zhao Yun.

Zhao Xue went back to Nanpi City in a hurry, climbed over the wall, and then went straight back to Chen Nuo's mansion. It's just that she hesitated before entering her room, and deliberately paid attention to Chen Nuo's room, and saw that the lights in his room were still on, and she was stunned, thinking about the big brother, hasn't he slept yet? She was involved here, so she was going to go over to visit, but before she could get close to Chen Nuo's side, she was discovered by the guards outside the house. When these guards heard the strange noise, they didn't see it clearly, so they wanted to scold, and when they saw that it was Zhao Xue, they hurriedly said: "General Chen has been waiting for General Zhao for a long time, and he said that he found General Zhao coming, so please ask General Zhao to go directly to find him." ”

Zhao Xue was stunned, could it be that Chen Nuo already knew about her leaving the city? Could it be that Dian Wei and the others came back in advance to tell Chen Nuo all this? But when I think about it, Dian Wei will suddenly appear in Gongsun Zhan's camp to save them, it must have been Chen Nuo's idea, it seems that Chen Nuo already knew about it as soon as she went out. Thinking of this, Zhao Xue stopped dodging and dodging, and let the relatives and guards dodge, and she cautiously pushed Chen Nuo's door in. thought that Chen Nuo was asleep at the desk, at least he was dozing off. No, she pushed the door and looked, and saw Chen Nuo raise his head, looking at her, it seemed that he had already discovered her.

Chen Nuo was holding a bamboo slip in his hand, and when he saw Zhao Xue returning safely at this moment, he was relieved. put down the bamboo slip, rubbed his eyes, and said, "Xue'er did a good job in the middle of the night, how about it, the deal is done, come back with confidence?" Zhao Xue stuck out her tongue at him, and quickly closed the door tightly, otherwise a trace of wind would leak in. She stepped forward, quickly found a thick velvet cloak from the inner room, put it on Chen Nuo, and said, "In the middle of the night, I can't imagine that you don't have anyone, big brother." ”

Chen Nuo glanced at her and said, "My Xue'er didn't come back safely, can I sleep with confidence?" Even if you sleep, can you sleep soundly? Zhao Xue was very moved by what he said, and hurriedly lowered her head: "Big brother, Xue'er is wrong, Xue'er shouldn't be righteous." Chen Nuo shook his head: "You still know this, why did you go earlier, you said, why didn't you say hello to me before you went, and went so recklessly, how can I rest assured?" Zhao Xue muttered and peeked at Chen Nuo: "But I don't tell the eldest brother, the eldest brother, you are like a clever plan, as if you knew that Xue'er would do this, otherwise where is there such a coincidence, Xue'er is in trouble, and Dianjun will come to the rescue." ”

Chen Nuo snorted lightly: "I don't know the little flower intestines in your stomach?" If I don't send the Dianjun to answer you, will you be able to come back safely? Zhao Xue had to admit this: "But, big brother, how did you know that I would go, could it be that the big brother has been sending people to monitor Xue'er all along?" Chen Nuo glanced at her: "Is this still worth monitoring?" Thinking about it, the reason why I didn't dare to tell Xue'er about your brother's life in a hurry was that Xue'er couldn't control her temper in a hurry, so she ran away in a hurry, where should I find Xue'er then? It's this time, I know that when I say it, Xue'er, if you can't see with your own eyes that your brother is still alive, how can you rest assured? Probably even if I persuade you, you can't listen to it, in this case, it is better to let you see your brother as soon as possible, so as to calm your heart, otherwise you will not be there all day, so how can I feel at ease? Of course, I don't know what you're doing, Xue'er, so I have to temporarily let Dianjun arrange for someone to keep an eye on you, otherwise how to control your actions. ”

I was going to take this opportunity to scold Zhao Xue well, so that Zhao Xue could not act so recklessly in the future, but seeing that Zhao Xue was full of plasma at this time, it could be seen that she was dying and living, and her heart softened, so she stretched out her hand to pull her down and asked her: "How is it, you have been so reckless in the past, have you seen your brother, is he okay?" Zhao Xue was very moved when she heard Chen Nuo's tone full of concern, and quickly nodded: "Of course!" ”

At that moment, she told Chen Nuo about her meeting with her brother Zhao Yun. Chen Nuo nodded and said, "I didn't expect your brother to be so delicate, but fortunately, Xue'er, you are seeing your brother now, so you don't have to worry too much." After Zhao Xue told Chen Nuo about Zhao Yun, she was still a little uneasy in her heart, she had been observing Chen Nuo's face, seeing that he had been very calm from beginning to end, and she didn't see him have any anger, and asked curiously: "But...... But at the beginning, General Dian was about to catch Gongsun Lao'er, but in the end, my brother broke out and ruined the good thing, big brother, don't you blame my brother a little? ”

Chen Nuo smiled and said, "That's it, I won't say anything about this matter, I'm afraid that you will be difficult to understand." At that moment, he told him the whole train of thought that he had been thinking about for a long time: "If I want to gain a foothold in Jizhou, I must first ensure that neither Gongsun Chan nor Yuan Benchu can fall so easily, otherwise it will be unfavorable to me to let either Yuan Benchu or Gongsun Chan sing a solo show." Chen Nuo had actually mentioned these ideas to Zhao Xue more or less before, but Zhao Xue couldn't fully understand them for a while, and when he heard Chen Nuo say it before and after, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he completely understood: "Oh, then, if my brother hadn't rushed out in time, I was afraid that Gongsun Zhan would be caught by General Dian like this, wouldn't it have messed up your entire layout, big brother?" In this way, my brother is not only innocent, but also a great hero? ”

Chen Nuo smiled: "So to speak." ”

Zhao Xue thought of his brother's future plans, his eyes rolled, and he wanted to help his brother say a few good words in front of Chen Nuo, so that he could leave a good impression in Chen Nuo's heart first, and asked Chen Nuo at the moment: "This, big brother, what do you think of my brother?" Chen Nuo was also stunned by her sudden question, and then smiled: "Very good, your brother can fight and be careful, a rare general, not to mention, he is still one of the five tiger generals." "Hmm, the Five Tiger Generals? What are the Five Tiger Generals? Hearing Zhao Xue's question, Chen Nuo knew that he had leaked his mouth, so he hurriedly smiled, his eyes flashed: "This...... By the way, what's going on with this Dianjun, I asked him to report to me as soon as he comes back, he won't be behind you, right, why haven't you seen anyone until now? ”

Zhao Xue frowned immediately when she heard Chen Nuo say, she listened to her brother Zhao Yun, and the chaos in her brother's camp before Gongsun Zan had probably subsided, and it stands to reason that they should have gone back to Nanpi before her. Can you listen to Chen Nuoyi...... Her heart tightened, and she asked Chen Nuo rhetorically: "Big brother, haven't they come back yet?" ”

Chen Nuo frowned slightly: "Xue'er, what do you mean, didn't you come back with them?" Zhao Xue was surprised, and hurriedly went back to her room to look, thinking that Zhu Rong Qingyi should also go back to the room when she came back, but no. As soon as Chen Nuo heard her, he knew that Zhu Rong Qingyi was going with her, and now that neither of them has come back, it seems that something has happened. It's just that in the middle of the night, people will be sent to search, but I am afraid that it will be difficult to explain to Yuan Shao if there is a disturbance. Helpless, Chen Nuo immediately scattered all the Wuwei battalions, and asked them to secretly search for their traces inside and outside the city, and they were silent. However, by daytime, there was still no news at all.

Chen Nuo was shocked in his heart, could it be that they were arrested by Gongsun Zhan? However, if they were arrested, Gongsun Chan would have sent someone to negotiate with them, but at noon, there was no movement on Gongsun Chan's side, so he sent someone out to investigate, and there was nothing unusual on Gongsun Chan's side. Zhao Xue thought that Dian Wei and Zhu Rong Qingyi were all affected by her and disappeared, so she couldn't help it, and she didn't realize that she shed a few tears, and there was still no news in the afternoon, and she was already panicked. Here, she also made up her mind, no matter whether Dian Wei is dead or alive, anyway, she must see people alive and corpses when she dies.

Zhao Xue didn't want to involve other people at this time, so she didn't tell Chen Nuo, found a coarse cloth clothes to wear, and took advantage of the opportunity to open the city and quietly mixed among the people and went out of the city. As soon as she left the city, she went to look for the horses that had been lost outside the city last night, and when she found that they were still nearby, she rode through the dense forest, preparing to rely on the concealment of the dense forest to secretly approach Gongsun Zhan's camp and investigate it herself.

However, it was daytime, and Gongsun Zhan's whole army had passed through the incident of last night, and they were already frightened birds, and they had already sent several additional scouts near the dense forest to constantly patrol to strictly guard against spies. She hadn't approached two miles from Gongsun Zhan's former army camp when she was spotted by the patrolling men who had been coming by the detour, and immediately chased after her with a shout. There were no less than a dozen people coming, although Zhao Xue was conceited of force, but after a battle last night, his body had already collapsed, plus he had not slept all night, his body was tired, and how much strength was left. She didn't dare to hold it up here, and when she saw the thieves chasing her, she immediately pulled her horse and ran to the side, trying to get rid of their tracking with the dense forest.

However, the thieves were still far away, and when they saw the sound of shouting, they couldn't scare Zhao Xue, so they rushed to pick up the arrow and shoot Zhao Xue from behind. Seeing the arrows rushing towards him, Zhao Xue turned around, lowered his head and let go of one, and grabbed one with his backhand. When those pursuers saw Zhao Xue stretching out their hands like this, they knew that Zhao Xue was not simple, whistling, pulling arrows like beads, chasing and killing non-stop. Zhao Xue was on horseback, and finally let go of a few arrows, all of which were very thrilling.

The pursuers were also shocked to see that such a dense rain of arrows could not shoot down the other party, and then saw that the other party not only dodged many of their arrows, but also reached out to take a lot, which was even more smacking. Fortunately, although the person in front of her grabbed the arrow, she did not have a bow and crossbow on her, so she could not fight back, so they breathed a sigh of relief. But they did not dare to relax, but still the horse's hooves had to go around the mountain, and they chased after it, occasionally releasing two arrows.

Zhao Xue, who was running in front, knew that although there were arrows in his hands, he had no bow, so it was difficult to fight back. But how clever she was, and seeing the enemy's arrows, she here deliberately dropped her horse, and looked panting, and turned back and shouted, "Why do you need to chase me a hunter in the mountains, please stop my horse quickly, and let me catch my breath." As soon as she said this, the chasing soldiers behind her laughed when they heard it: "What kind of hunter is this, it's clearly a spy." However, seeing that he was weak at this time, it was probably not enough, so everyone worked harder and took him. ”

Another careful person saw that the speed of Zhao Xue, who was being chased, had obviously dropped, and it was even more expected that Zhao Xue was already lacking in strength, and immediately said: "Seeing that he can't run for a while, he will not be able to do it, and everyone doesn't need to waste arrows, prepare to capture this person alive!" "With that, the arrow was released even more hopefully. Zhao Xue saw that the distance between herself and them was not more than a hundred steps, and she was already within the range of the arrow, and knew that the time was ripe, so she snorted in her nose, let out a sneer, suddenly turned around, and shouted at them again and again: "Ah, the eldest brother is so fast, the younger brother admires!" ”

The pursuers who were praised by her face were all so unhappy, even the one who released the arrow forgot to pull the arrow, and was only ready to reply, "Since you know that it is powerful, why don't you kid get off the horse and surrender quickly?" However, no one expected that after the person in front of him said this, he suddenly parted his body, and said 'go' in his mouth, and immediately threw all the arrows in his hand over his head.

"Ahh There is fraud! Pity these pursuers were already slow to react at this time, and they were hit head-on by a feather arrow in Zhao Xue's hand, and three or five of them couldn't avoid them in an instant, and they fell off their horses one after another. The person in front suddenly fell from his horse, and the pursuers behind were also stunned. Then he knew that the other party was cheating, and they all pulled up the feather arrows and looked forward to shoot. However, at this moment, Zhao Xue didn't look back after throwing the feather arrow, pulled the horse and galloped forward, and in the blink of an eye, he was out of the range of a hundred steps. In this way, even if those people shoot, they can't reach it, so they can only leave the wounded soldiers behind and continue to run and chase after them.

Zhao Xue's sudden attack really slowed down the pursuit of the thief, and he was slightly relieved to see that he had left the thief a distance. I thought that it would not be difficult to get rid of them if she had to run out of the road again, and then, it was also her luck, she had just turned a corner, and she didn't want to rush to meet her with more than a dozen riders. Those cavalry were also Gongsun Zhan's subordinates, and they suddenly met Zhao Xue, and she broke into the herd of horses head-on, and she didn't understand what was going on for a while, but was shocked by Zhao Xue's horses. That Zhao Xue suddenly encountered these centaurs again, and secretly said bitterly in his heart, it was too late to retreat, so he had no choice but to grit his teeth and continue to break in.

"Catch the spy!" The shouts of the pursuers behind him came in vain, and it immediately alerted the scouts here. After a moment of consternation, the dozen detectives here immediately drew their swords one after another, and scolded Zhao Xue. Zhao Xue was in the wolf's den at this time, where to care about anything else, the horse kept walking, the sword in his waist was pulled out, and he cut it with his arms. If the enemy's sword did not reach, two or three were killed by Zhao Xue's sword in an instant. It's just that she swung her sword, and she didn't care about who was next to her at all, she cut it down without a head, and suddenly a sword cut down and met the opponent's spear, and was shocked by its strength, and she almost shook off her horse. Zhao Xue suddenly encountered this big enemy, and she was also shocked in her heart, gritted her teeth, raised a sword and was about to cut again, and suddenly saw that it was no one else who blocked her shot, it was her brother Zhao Yun, and she was stunned. Instinctively, Zhao Xue was about to open her mouth and call her brother, but suddenly saw Zhao Yun glaring at her and telling her to leave quickly, Zhao Xue also immediately understood, and hurriedly left Zhao Yun and pulled the horse and galloped.

The people behind were about to catch up, but Zhao Yun deliberately took advantage of the chaos to sweep the gun and block it, allowing Zhao Xue to run out of Zhangxu. In the chaos, where could those people see that Zhao Yun was cheating, but when they saw that he was knocked back by the power of the other party's sword rebound, and he was about to fall off the horse, they were all startled, and they all asked if there was something wrong. Zhao Yun looked at Zhao Xue running away, then shook his head and said: "In a hurry, the thief was cunning, and he was almost shocked off the horse by her sword, and swept away my prestige!" At the moment, he stopped talking nonsense, and led everyone to chase Zhao Xue forward.

Zhao Xue was also fortunate that her brother Zhao Yun stopped her for a while, otherwise let alone escape, I was afraid that I would be caught by the dozen or so riders, and I was afraid that I would have fallen off the horse long ago. She was frightened here, seeing that the pursuers were still behind her, she didn't dare to be careless, and pulled her horse and galloped wildly towards the dangerous place. Zhao Xue originally distanced herself from the pursuers because of Zhao Yun's block, but at this time, she galloped wildly, and ran much faster, and quickly left them a distance.

Behind him, the two teams of scouts gathered together to chase after him, and saw that the chase was getting farther and farther, and he was also anxious, and asked Zhao Yun again and again: "What should I do, I'm afraid that if I continue like this, I will be run away by the spies!" When Zhao Yun heard this, he pulled the reins of the horse and shouted, "Don't worry! With me Zhao here, I can't escape from the spy! ”

Zhao Yun saved Gongsun Zan in danger several times, and his subordinates also knew Zhao Yun's ability, and when they heard Zhao Yun say this, they were also relieved. Sure enough, as soon as Zhao Yun finished speaking, Teng pulled the reins of the horse and chased forward suddenly. Soon, when they turned around the mountain col, they disappeared, and the pursuers behind them were all tired and panting, and sighed again and again: "It's really Zhao Zilong!" I can't wait! ”

Zhao Xue ran out of many roads in one go, and deliberately ran into the mountain fork, just to completely get rid of the pursuers. Seeing that there was no trace behind him, Zhao Xue just got off the horse, gasped for a few breaths, thought that he would get rid of everyone else, but at this time, the bushes behind him sounded, there were horses' hooves, and the sound of horses neighing, he was shocked, he didn't dare to be careless, he rushed to hold the reins, and turned around to beat the horse and leave. However, it was Zhao Yun who caught up behind him, and when he saw that Zhao Xue was leaving, he hurriedly shouted: "Silly girl, see your brother still running!" ”

"Brother?" Zhao Xue was stunned for a moment, looked away, and saw that only her brother Zhao Yun came behind her. She was overjoyed, and hurriedly pulled her horse to greet Zhao Yun, and said with a smile: "Xue'er thanked my brother for his mercy just now, and let Xue'er go." Zhao Yun had already come over and dismounted with Zhao Xue successively, he heard Zhao Xue say this, and immediately knocked her on the head and said, "You are fortunate to have met my brother and me, otherwise you will be in big trouble today!" Seeing that Zhao Xue was still looking behind him in spite of his mind, he immediately said to her, "Xue'er, don't worry, my brother has already left them behind, and they won't be able to catch up for a while." ”

Zhao Xue heard Zhao Yun say this, so she exaggeratedly patted her badge and nodded, "I'm relieved." Zhao Yun glanced at her: "You are relieved of me, but I am not at ease!" What are you doing for Xue'er, why don't you stop at the Gongsun camp alone, do you know how dangerous it is for you to do this? Zhao Xue pouted, lowered her head and said, "Xue'er knows it's wrong, but Xue'er can't help but come." Zhao Yun also knew in his heart that if something happened to him, Zhao Xue would not have taken this risk alone, sat down with her, and asked, "What happened to Xue'er, can my brother help?" ”

Zhao Xue thought for a while and said, "Maybe my brother can help with this." At that moment, she told Zhao Yun that the person who saved her last night did not come back, "Brother, could they be caught by Gongsun Lao'er?" If they are caught, brother, can you find a way to rescue them? Zhao Yun shook his head and said: "I also inquired about this matter after I went back, and the people who rescued you either died or fled, and they didn't capture this thing alive." However, I heard that two escaped, were chased by the pursuers, and then disappeared without a trace, and their whereabouts are unknown. ”

When Zhao Xue heard this, she said anxiously: "The two escaped, but a man and a woman?" Zhao Yun shook his head and said, "This is not clear." Zhao Xue clasped her palms together and said silently: "I hope it is General Dian and Sister Tsing Yi." Zhao Yun looked down at his body and said in surprise: "Hey, someone has been here." ”

Zhao Xue didn't understand for a while, to say that few people came here in the dense forest, but it was not uncommon for someone to come in. I don't know why my brother said this, but I saw Zhao Yun pick up a dead leaf. On the dead leaves, there is a drop of blood. Judging from the color of the blood, it is not too dry, and it should have dripped in a short time. When Zhao Xue saw this, she immediately said what she thought in her heart. Zhao Yun didn't pay attention to him, but raised his eyes to see forward.

When I stood up, I saw that I could still pick up this kind of dead leaf with blood in front of me. Of course, some of the blood fell into the soil or on boulders, but it didn't look very dry. Zhao Yun frowned, looking for the footprints of blood, and followed step by step. Walk only a few zhang, suddenly a crack in front of the eyes, there is a natural trench, between the two walls are separated by a few zhang, the ditch wall is several zhang deep, smooth as a mirror, a look below is full of dead wood and fallen leaves, there is no way out before and after. And the blood is suddenly gone here in this opening.

Zhao Yun raised his eyes and looked over, but he didn't find anything unusual underneath, but Zhao Xue found a torn corner of his clothes next to him. The corners of the clothes were black, and there was blood on them. Zhao Xue suddenly thought that when she and Zhu Rong Qingyi came out last night, they were both wearing night clothes, and Dian Wei and the others were also dressed as night walkers in order to facilitate the rescue of people. Thinking of this, Zhao Xue immediately thought of the corner of his clothes with Dian Wei, and he couldn't help but be shocked, and then raised his eyes to look around, only to see a footprint drawn on the edge of the trench in front of him, as if someone had fallen from there. Zhao Xue took a sharp breath, grabbed Zhao Yun's arm, and said hurriedly: "Brother, save them!" ”

"Huh?" Zhao Yun was puzzled: "Them? You're saying that the man who fell could be your friend? However, there doesn't seem to be anyone down there. Zhao Xue didn't care, she was anxious to climb down, but Zhao Yun grabbed her arm and reprimanded: "Xue'er, what are you doing, if you go on like this, let alone save people, I'm afraid that I won't be able to protect myself." Here, he turned around and looked, only to see that there were withered vines on the trees next to him, cut the withered vines at the moment, knotted them together, looked at his body and tied them, and explained to Zhao Xue: "Xue'er, you slowly let me go." ”

Zhao Xue is still afraid that the withered vines will not bear fruit, and it will not be good if she harms her brother at that time. Zhao Yun didn't think about it, he handed over the withered vine to Zhao Xue and let her pull it up, and he relied on the power of the withered vine and slowly fell down. Zhao Xue had to carefully put the withered vines and slowly put Zhao Yun down. When he reached the bottom, Zhao Yun shook the withered vine and signaled that there was no need to let it go. Here he has unraveled the withered vines. glanced to the four sides, only to see the blood stains on the dead branches behind him, but he didn't see the corpse, it seems that most of the people who came were still alive after falling. He took a few steps forward, turned a wall, and found that there was a grotto under the ravine, and the cave was pitch black.

Outside the cave, there was a pool of blood, which had not yet dried.

Zhao Yun was shocked, and hurriedly shouted into the cave: "Is there anyone inside?" However, he asked three times, but received no answer. Here, he had to let go of his steps and look into the cave. However, as soon as I walked in, I turned a corner, and a wide cave suddenly opened up in front of me. It's just that the cave is pitch black, and I can't see people clearly, and I just asked a sentence and saw that no one answered, so I had to look forward, and I didn't want to stumble under my feet, and my body stumbled, and I almost planted forward.

Fortunately, Zhao Yun's reaction ability was already good, and before his body fell, he immediately held his hand on the cave wall, which eased the downward trend and stood up straight. He was a little used to the darkness here, and he could see the cave more clearly. He lowered his head and looked at the stumbling object, and was surprised to find that it was not someone else who stumbled, but two big living people. However, the two big living people hugged each other, a woman on the top and a man on the bottom, both of them had a weak breath, and it seemed that they were also half-dead. He couldn't see clearly, and he couldn't wake them up, so he dragged them out of the cave one by one. When the two of them were moved out, Zhao Yun found out that one of these men, he had met when he was at the boundary bridge, and he had a fight, and he had also met recently, and he was no stranger to recapture Gongsun Chan in his hands.

It's just that he looks very bad at this time, he has suffered multiple wounds on his body, and even a piece of flesh on his shoulder has turned out, which looks very serious. Even the breathing was so weak. As for the girl next to him, Zhao Yun had never seen it, when she moved her just now, her whole body was pressed against him, if it weren't for his pulling, they would almost be inseparable. It seems that when they fell, they found that there was no way out, so they could only hide in the cave next to them, but because the man was too seriously injured and the weather was cold, in order to maintain his body temperature, he kept his body warm, but unfortunately because of excessive bleeding, both of them fainted one after another. Thinking that if they hadn't been accidentally bumped into by their brother and sister, they would have been thrown here.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yun hurriedly dragged the woman first, dragged him under the ditch, tied up the dead vines, and asked Zhao Xue to pull her up first. After that, he tied up the man again and asked Zhao Xue to pull him up, and when Zhao Xue pulled him up again, Zhao Xue was already tired and sweaty, but he didn't say a word of bitterness. It's just that she looked at the pair of men and women in front of her, tears were in her eyes, and she said to Zhao Yun: "Brother, Xue'er came out to find the two of them." ”

Dian Wei and Zhu Rong Qingyi, they were lying in front of her at the moment, but unfortunately they were all seriously injured and fainted.

Zhao Yun's heart moved, took the wound medicine, and simply sprinkled some on them, but before he had time to bandage them, he heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and his heart moved, and said to Zhao Xue: "Xue'er, that group of chasing soldiers is coming, I'll go and lead them away, and you can also take them back to the city." Zhao Yun said, stood up, took the horse, and hurriedly went down the mountain, leading the group of scouts who had caught up with him. Zhao Xue was here with Dian Wei and the others and took them back to Nanpi City.
