The July sun shines on the earth without any obstruction, the soil cracks in the dry fields, the cottages and farmlands along the way are barren, there is no smell of human habit, and there are white bones everywhere in the grass. Occasionally, a wild dog jumped out of the grass, and his eyes were bright red.

It was not easy to get out of the capital, and along the way to avoid the investigation and pursuit of the Shun army in various places, and after running for nearly half a month, Cao Wushu and Zhu Yujiao left the vicinity of Gyeonggi and entered Cizhou in Henan.

Recalling the scene that night, Zhu Yujiao still trembled for no reason. She had never seen such a bloody scene, and Liu Zongmin, who was full of beard and a hideous smile, was so chilling. Tian Hongyu was killed by the hundreds of people in the mansion who were killed by the soldiers and horses under his command. Tian Hongyu's sons, nephews, and relatives, many of whom are quite familiar with Zhu Yujiao, but they fell in front of Zhu Yujiao like this.

The eyes are full of palpitating red, and since that day, it has been entangled in Zhu Yujiao's mind all the time, lingering.

Zhu Yujiao knew very well that with Cao Wuxian's skills, if he wanted to leave on his own, it would definitely be a breeze, but he just stayed. In the face of the swarming, bloodthirsty Dashun soldiers, new scars were constantly added to his body.

If it weren't for Shen Ke and his people coming in time, I'm afraid that Zhu Yujiao and Cao Wushu would have become ghosts under Liu Zongmin's knife by now.

But even so, if it weren't for Cao Wuxian's efforts to kidnap Liu Zongmin, maybe everyone would have been buried in Tian Hongyu's mansion.

In the chaos. Shen Ke, Xing Yuan and Zhu Yuanyuan were separated from Zhu Yuanjiao and Cao Wuxian. When Pegasus rushed out of the Beijing Division, Cao Wuxian's ribs were already seriously injured, but behind him were the pursuers, and the two had no way to look for Shen Ke and the others, so they could only blindly rush all the way south to kill.

Covering up his whereabouts along the way, eating and sleeping in the open, he has suffered for the past month. It's all unheard of and unseen by Zhu Yujiao. A bite of food that has become rancid can make her excited for a long time, peeling off the clothes of dead people along the way, constantly changing her appearance. This qiē was a nightmare for the former eldest princess, but now Zhu Yujiao doesn't take it to heart at all.

The only thing that worries her is Cao Wuxian's injury.

Cao Wushu had more than ten large and small wounds on his body, and the two walked all the way. Cao Wuxian found some herbs that could be found everywhere, and other wounds were okay, but the wounds under his ribs were helpless.

It was stabbed by a spear, and when he rushed out of the capital division, Cao Wushu only dealt with it briefly, and he didn't have time to take care of it at all, plus the escape and hunger along the way, it was a few days ago. Finally worsened.

Zhu Yujiao was also dressed as a farmer, and her face was covered with dust and black mud. Cao Wuxian's footsteps beside him staggered again, and his arm was also a little hot, Zhu Yujiao knew very well that Cao Wuxian began to have a fever again.

In the wilderness, it is difficult to obtain even a white cloth to wrap and bandage wounds, let alone medicines such as knife wound medicine to heal wounds. Villages and towns along the way. Mo is not desolate, the hospital and pharmacy are either closed, no one is seen, or it is burned. Cao Wuxian's injuries could only be delayed like this.

It's finally time to get out of Fushan. Further forward is the county seat of Cizhou, Zhu Yujiao secretly made up her mind, she can't bypass Cizhou anymore, she must find a way to sneak into the city, even if she is a slave or a maid, she has to find a family doctor to diagnose and treat Cao Wuxian, he can't last long.

It was almost noon, the scorching sun couldn't lift his head, walking on the dirt road, the whole person was wrapped in a steaming heat, Cao Wuxian's face was pale, but the beads of sweat on his forehead kept rolling down, and his steps became heavier and heavier. After walking forward for half a mile, she finally saw a shady forest, Zhu Yujiao was overjoyed, and hurriedly helped Cao Wuxian to walk over.

Sitting down against a big tree finally allowed the two of them to breathe for a while. The gourd on Zhu Yujiao's waist had already bottomed out, and she shook it for a long time, but she didn't see a drop of water falling. These days, she has been sleeping in the wilderness, and Zhu Yujiao is no longer the eldest princess who was pampered before. He took out half of the saved dough from his arms and stuffed it into Cao Wuxian's hand, but he stood up, looked around, and then picked up the gourd to find the river water.

Cao Wuxian wanted to stop it, but his body couldn't exert any strength, his throat seemed to be burned by flames, and he was hoarse but couldn't make any sound.

Zhu Yujiao had just turned around, and she hadn't walked five steps away, but she suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves from far and near. Zhu Yujiao was startled, turned to look at Cao Wuxian, Cao Wuxian shook her head with difficulty, and motioned for her to quickly help herself to dodge.

Zhu Yujiao couldn't help but be a little in a hurry, and Cao Wuxian was already exhausted at this time, Zhu Yujiao used all her strength, and only pulled Cao Wuxiu up half of her body, just when the two of them were at a loss, several knights had already galloped to the edge of the woods.

A few people obviously came in a hurry, saw this wood, and wanted to come in to rest, but they didn't expect that there were other people in this wood.

Several people were also taken aback by Cao Wushu and Zhu Yujiao, and in a shock, they had already copied the blade they were carrying in their hands.

Cao Wuxian used up his remaining strength, pushed Zhu Yujiao suddenly, and said hoarsely: "Leave me alone, go quickly!" ”

But although Zhu Yujiao was terrified to the extreme, her hands tightly grasped Cao Wuxian's arm, and a resolute look was projected in her eyes.

There were a total of three people who came, all dressed in ordinary clothes, but the blades in their hands were genuine Ming army configurations. The three of them were led by a burly man, about forty years old, with bearded eyes, and shouted out in surprise when he saw Cao Wuxian at a glance, "Brother Cao, why are you here?" ”

Cao Wuxian was stunned, and when he looked carefully, he vaguely felt that this big man was quite familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen him.

The tall man returned the knife to the sheath, strode over, and frowned when he saw Cao Wuxian's face. "Brother Cao, farewell to Hebei, what a heroic appearance that day, why did it become like this today!"

As he spoke, he squatted down in front of Cao Wuxian's body and smelled the rancid smell of wounds emanating from Cao Wuxian's body. The look on his face was even more solemn.

Zhu Yujiao's face changed, and she secretly copied the dagger that Cao Wuxian gave to her in her hand, and watched the burly man about to lift Cao Wuxian's clothes, and suddenly snorted and stabbed at the man.

The man was startled, but he didn't mess up at all, his palm poked out, but he firmly held Zhu Yujiao's wrist, and Zhu Yujiao exerted all her strength. But he couldn't move a single bit.

The man was stunned for a moment, but laughed, "I didn't expect it to be a girl, don't worry, I have no malicious intentions, I just want to test Brother Cao's injuries!" I know him for the past, and I won't ruin his life! ”

Cao Wuxian struggled to sit up, but a figure suddenly flashed in his mind. I couldn't help but shout, "You." You are the Tiger Commander! ”

The man laughed again, "Good brother, you finally remembered my name as Tiger Dawei!" ”

Hearing this name, Zhu Yujiao's whole body strength seemed to be drained, and she suddenly fell to the ground, and her tears couldn't help but slide down. and Cao had no casualties and died for a month. But it was the first time he met the officials and soldiers of the Ming Dynasty.

Hu Dawei is the chief military officer of Shaanxi who was personally enshrined by Chongzhen, and has been following Lu Xiangsheng and Sun Chuanting to fight in all directions, and he is loyal and brave, and Zhu Ping'an has fought side by side many times. During the Battle of Tongguan, he followed Sun Chuanting out of the customs together. After the defeat of the army, there was no news from him, Sun Chuanting and a group of generals, rumors that he had been loyal to the country and died on the battlefield, but he did not expect to meet him again on the border of Cizhou today.

Cao Wuxian participated in the battle of Hebei, and forced Gao Qiqian and Wu Sangui to send troops to rescue Julu, and then, because Zhu Ping'an was recuperating in Hebei, he became familiar with Hu Dawei and other Hebei generals.

Hu Dawei couldn't help but be surprised when he saw that Cao Wuxian had taken a woman to Cizhou and was seriously injured, but when he heard that this woman was the eldest princess today, he was immediately shocked, and quickly knelt on the ground, pleading guilty again and again.

Later, when everyone talked about it, they learned that in the battle of Tongguan, Sun Chuanting, the governor of the five provinces, did not die in battle.

In the battle of Tongguan, Sun Chuanting was hit by the artillery fire of the Shun army, but fortunately, Hu Dawei, Jiang Yunyi, Zhou Shifeng, Xu Chengming and Gao Jie and other Shaanxi generals sacrificed their lives to save each other, so that a life was saved.

At that time, the Shun army was stepping up its march to Jingshi, so the truth about Sun Chuanting's life and death was not confirmed. While Sun Chuanting was recuperating from his injuries in Bears Ears Mountain, he slowly remembered Zhu Ping'an's previous reminder and thought it was true. At the beginning, Sun Chuanting sent messengers and was able to contact Zhu Ping'an, but later, after Shanxi, Hebei, Gyeonggi Zhili and other places successively fell under the control of the Shun army, the transmission of news was forced to be interrupted.

After recovering, Sun Chuanting also gathered the remnants of the Ming army in the Bears Ears Mountain, reaching more than 2,000 people. At this time, the Shun army Li Zicheng and He Renlongbu had gradually approached the Beijing Division.

Sun Chuanting originally wanted to join the Beijing Division, but he was afraid of falling into Yuan Chonghuan's fate, so he could only follow Zhu Ping'an's original Jianyi, looking for an opportunity, and led his subordinates to slowly retreat to the south of the Yangtze River.

And Hu Dawei was ordered by Sun Chuanting to sneak into the Gyeonggi area to find out the news. Now, day and night, he has to return to the camp in Fushan to report the news of the fall of the Beijing division to Sun Chuanting.

The Dashun army has begun to appoint officials at all levels and clean up the place, therefore, there are many checkpoints on the road, and Hu Dawei and others have no choice but to detour into Fushan, but they didn't expect to meet Cao Wushu and Zhu Yujiao unexpectedly in this barren mountain range.
