Li Yuanhao's eyes swept over the faces of the hunters one by one, and finally fell on the person who led the team: "Did you see a suspicious person just now?" ”

The man shook his head: "Back to the general, I didn't see it." ”

Li Yuanhao jumped off the horse, walked up to the man, and looked up and down: "No?" ”

The man replied firmly, "No." ”

Li Yuanhao smiled, he really didn't believe that Chen Yuan and they could fly out of their encirclement. All the clues are broken outside the village here, will these people have never seen Chen Yuan and them?

Li Yuanhao lowered his head and walked slowly, and when he saw a woman holding a child about two years old, he stood in front of the woman and reached out to touch the child's face: "How old is the child?" ”

The woman was a little frightened, and she hugged her child tightly and did not dare to speak. But the child said very innocently: "Three years old." ”

Li Yuanhao smiled: "That's good! Uncle likes to be a good child. Come, give you a piece of sugar. ”

Sugar is a very rare thing in this place, and children have never eaten it. After putting it in his mouth, the sweet taste obviously made the child like it very much, and he couldn't help but smile on his face: "Thank you, uncle." ”

The woman obviously realized something, and turned her body around, so that the child didn't have to face Li Yuanhao directly: "General, the child is still young and doesn't know anything." ”

Li Yuanhao nodded: "Children, they know little about things, unlike some adults who know how to lie." ”

He then asked, "Child, did you just see an uncle you don't know coming in?" ”

Before the child could speak, Li Yuanhao took out another handful of candy: "Uncle likes to be a good child, right?" ”

The child nodded busily: "See, Daddy took them to the back." ”

The woman's face changed drastically, and she slapped the child on the buttocks: "Don't talk nonsense!" General, he's a child, you can't take it seriously! ”

Li Yuanhao ignored the woman anymore, turned his head to the men, and the friendly smile on his face slowly became hideous, "I'll ask you again, where are the people!" ”

After Chen Yuan and the others came out of the tunnel mouth, it was already another mountain, and when the tunnel was built, in order to avoid the hard rocks on the mountain, they went around left and right, and when everyone came out of it, they were all lost!

In addition, the moonlight was already dim tonight, and the sky was covered by dark clouds, and there was not a single star in sight, even those Jurchens who had lived in the jungle for a long time didn't know where to go now.

At this time, all the people gathered around Chen Yuan. Since entering the party, Chen Yuan's various methods have given everyone unexpected surprises, and when everyone has no idea, they still choose to believe Chen Yuan.

"Shopkeeper, how do you go?" More than twenty people squatted in the dense grass, and Sutu asked in a low voice.

Chen Yuan shook his head lightly: "I don't know either!" ”

Hu Yanping suddenly pointed behind his finger: "It's on fire!" ”

Everyone hurriedly turned around, only to see a raging flame on the mountain, and in the dark night, the flame was extremely dazzling!

Su Tu said: "It must be the cottage we just passed by, the shopkeeper, what should we do?" ”

Chen Yuan did not speak. What to do? He doesn't know what to do now. He wanted to go back and save people, but he knew that he couldn't do anything but die now when he went back.

Everyone was silent for a moment, and there was unspeakable sadness and resentment in their eyes.

"Alas!" Hu Yanping punched a tree violently, and the leaves trembled sharply.

Chen Yuan sighed and got up: "Let's go." ”

Where to go? Chen Yuan didn't know either. But it's definitely not okay to stay here. The pursuers have entered the cottage, and it will not take long to estimate that the tunnels will be discovered.

For the whole night, they walked around this clump of mountains, with no direction and no goal. It's just a matter of moving forward. If you encounter a party member, you can avoid or detour.

If you can't get out of this mountain tonight, then the dawn of the day is even more conducive to the search of party members, and you may really never be able to get out!

Several times they had already reached the bottom of the mountain, but they found that there were party soldiers stationed there, and everyone was forced to turn back and look for another way.

In this way, by the time dawn they had not yet gone out. Chen Yuan's face slowly became ugly, on the one hand, he was tired, and on the other hand, the encirclement of the party members under the mountain was getting smaller and smaller.

Chen Yuan and the others could already see a large area of trees and grass in the distance constantly shaking, obviously the enemy had searched for them.

When the morning sun slowly rose, as the sunlight fell into the woods little by little, it became more and more difficult for Chen Yuan and them to hide their whereabouts.

They ran as hard as they could, even though they had no direction and didn't know where they would go.

Before they knew it, they were coming full circle. Chen Yuan saw the cottage from last night again. The cottage had burned down, and the thatched houses had been reduced to piles of ashes.

Li Yuanhao didn't kill the entire cottage, he spared the women and children.

The bodies of more than sixty men fell to the ground, some holding steel forks in their hands, as if they were desperate. Some of them fell to the ground with their legs spread apart, definitely preparing to escape. Others fell to their knees, apparently begging for mercy. They have all sorts of ways to die, but the results are all the same.

Every man has a woman or two women crying. The tears and cries of the women pierced Chen Yuan's soul, and his hands trembled uncontrollably, wanting to say something and what he wanted to do, but he found that he couldn't say anything, and he couldn't do anything about their grief.

Chen Yuan lowered his head and slowly turned around with more than twenty people, preparing to leave here.

"Stop." A woman shouted.

Chen Yuan looked back and saw that it was the wife of the person yesterday. She knelt in front of the man's corpse, her eyes fixed on Chen Yuan.

Chen Yuan turned his body around again, walked to the man's corpse and knelt down, took out his short knife and handed it to the woman: "Sister-in-law, I killed your man, if you want to be angry, kill me." ”

Hu Yanping jumped up: "Shopkeeper!" ”

Chen Yuan shouted: "It's nothing to do with you!" Go down! ”

Hu Yanping stopped, looked at Chen Yuan in a daze, and then looked at the woman.

The woman didn't take the knife, and slowly stood up: "The birds under the mountain are frightened, I think the chasing soldiers have come, where else can you go?" ”

When Chen Yuan heard her say this, he raised his head and looked at her: "Sister-in-law, you, are you still willing to help us?" ”

The woman smiled and said what her husband had said to Chen Yuan last night: "Of course you can." "She's not pretty at all, and she can't even find any of the criteria for beauty with a female surname! But at this time, Chen Yuan was definitely facing an angel, a goddess, and the most beautiful woman in the world!

"Go down the tunnel, the door of the tunnel was burned by the party members yesterday, but the road inside is still open. Don't walk, this mountain is very big, and outsiders can't go out without people who know the way to lead the way. When they're gone, I'll find someone to take you out. The woman said softly.

Chen Yuan wanted to cry, he hadn't felt this way for a long time!

More than 20 people walked down the tunnel, there was no longer yesterday's concealment here, and the party members already knew about it. But when Li Yuanhao walked through the village with the team, he just glanced at the women outside, and didn't come in at all!

He never dreamed that when the men died, these women who witnessed the men being killed would still have the courage to take in Chen Yuan and them again! No matter how smart he was, he would never have thought that Chen Yuan was hiding in that tunnel yesterday!

Chen Yuan hid in the tunnel for two days, and the entire mountain was turned upside down by the party in these two days. However, one by one, the party soldiers passed by the gate of the cottage, and the teams of military horses passed by here, but none of the party members came in to take a look.

It wasn't until the third day that Li Yuanhao finally determined that Chen Yuan and the others might have walked away in some way that they didn't know, or they had found a very hidden place to hide.

The search of the party members stopped at this time, and Chen Yuan dared to walk out of the tunnel at this time.

The first thing he did after he came out was to take more than 20 brothers and kneel down and kowtow to these women!

"Helping you is what we should do, I hope you will talk to your general when you go back, the people in this place are from the Great Song Dynasty, and every grass and tree is from the Great Song Dynasty, and if you come back as soon as possible and beat the party people away, you will be worthy of our dead men." When the women said this, Chen Yuan was very remorseful, and he finally knew what he was wrong about.

Clean up the jars and jars for others to fight, and I just watch the excitement. This concept didn't seem wrong when I was in Bianjing, but it was because I wasn't one of these pots and jars! I don't know how much they hurt when this jar was broken!

Two tears finally flowed from the corners of Chen Yuan's eyes, and he nodded at the women: "I will definitely come back!" Definitely! ”

The person in charge of showing them the way was also a woman. There was no way, all the men were killed, and even the seven or eight-year-old boys, who were a little taller, were killed. There are only women.

When the woman took Chen Yuan and them on a winding and very difficult mountain road, Chen Yuan glanced back at the cottage that shocked him, and at this moment, he said to himself, he wants to come back!

For the sake of those hunters who died for themselves, for the sake of the woman who is now holding her husband to be a Song person in the future, she must come back!

The trail they took was completely safe, and no one knew of its existence except for a few local hunters.

The woman who showed them the way had only walked once, and the road was lined with cliffs on both sides, and the stones under her feet were covered with weeds, so she took every step very carefully.

After walking for three days, Chen Yuan and the others finally saw the walled city of the Great Song Border Pass.

The battle flag of the Song army flying high made everyone excited! More than 20 brothers cheered loudly, and Sister Li burst into tears, and the feeling of escaping death made everyone a little out of control.

The woman who led the way looked at their appearance, and also smiled slightly, and waited for Chen Yuan and their emotions to calm down a little before saying: "Don't be happy too early, our mountain is different from the road you usually see, look at the mountain and run dead horses, you look at it right in front of you, in fact, there is still a long distance." ”

Chen Yuan reacted at this time, and hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted the woman: "Thank you eldest sister for taking care of you all the way, eldest sister, why don't you go back to the Great Song Dynasty with us." ”

The woman shook her head after hearing this: "No, you go back, just remember what you promised." I'll send you to the border and you'll come back. ”

Chen Yuan wanted to stay, but the woman was very resolute. Chen Yuan was helpless, and only thanked him again.

They climbed another hill forward, and the walled city was only a few miles away.

Chen Yuan couldn't help but think in his heart that the guard general of this walled city didn't know if he would let him go, thinking that Li Yuanhao's arrest of himself should also be passed on to the third pass, and Renzong would definitely guess that Zhao Yi was rescued by himself when he knew it. What will Renzong do with himself?

Whatever he wants, Chen Yuan must go back now, and he must obtain Renzong's understanding. He is just a trader, and only through the hands of Renzong can he fulfill his promise to that cottage.

Descending from the mountain was a flat land, and just when everyone thought they were safe, Chen Yuan suddenly saw a group of party cavalry rushing over from the flank.
