Li Xin didn't expect that this Jiexiu would also go to Gaoyang, is it a coincidence, or is he really an unknown prophet? But in any case, it is impossible to take Jiexiu with him, this great monk has an unknown origin and a suspicious appearance, and taking him with him is equivalent to carrying a bomb that may explode at any time!

That Lu Jiugang wanted to plead for Monk Jiexiu, but he heard Li Xin say apologetically: "In this case, you and I are not on the way, let's go down here!" ”

Unexpectedly, Jiexiu did not give up, and lifted the heavy Qiankun bag on his shoulders upward, and then pointed at Liu Yuliang and Xiong Kaiyuan.

"The poor monk saved the fat man, it's always okay to ask the donor for some food!"

This time, not only Li Xin didn't even believe Lu Jiu, but a monk who had no power to tie the chicken, couldn't even beat the ruffian, how could he rescue the Xiong Kaiyuan from the Tartar army?

Jiexiu saw that everyone was in disbelief, anxious and annoyed, and pointed at Xiong Kaiyuan.

"I don't believe you asked the fat man."

That fat man naturally refers to Xiong Kaiyuan.

This is true, Lu Jiu did see it with his own eyes, and Jiexiu and Xiong Kaiyuan found it here. If there is no one to guide the way, I am afraid that Xiong Kaiyuan alone may not be able to find this place.

At this time, Xiong Kaiyuan and Liu Yuliang also finished greetings, and saw that Li Xin seemed to be about to catch up with the monk who came with him, so he came over to relieve him.

"This master is coming with me, you can let me go!"

Xiong Kaiyuan survived the death, he was in a good mood, and his tone when he spoke was much more relaxed and polite than usual. But it was not a taste in Lu Jiu's ears, and that old man had never spoken so much, which onion are you, he was an unruly horse thief, he was born to reject officials, and he didn't understand the way in the court to use literature and martial arts, a seven-grade petty official dared to make noise, raised his eyebrows, and rolled his eyelids to Xiong Kaiyuan.

"What are you doing? Is it your turn to speak or not? ”

One sentence blocked Xiong Kaiyuan so much that he almost didn't take a second breath, this Qiu Ba's tone was really arrogant.

"Putting ......"

Xiong Kaiyuan doesn't matter whether he is on the battlefield in front of the battle or not, he wants to go crazy in public, he has been unwilling for a long time, and now he is being confronted by a Qiu Ba in public, how can he endure this breath. But in a fit of rage, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Liu Yuliang slamming his colors at him, which he understood, and signaled him to calm down. With Liu Yuliang's eyes, he suddenly came to his senses, and even Liu Ge Lao was cautious in his words and deeds, there must be something unspeakable in this. Look at the person who confronted him, his face was full of meat, there were several terrifying scars on it, and there were tattoos on his exposed left arm, with the posture of an outlaw maniac, weren't they the people of the imperial court?

As soon as this idea popped up, Xiong Kaiyuan suddenly fell into an ice cave, and the secret path was dangerous, if it wasn't for Liu Yuliang's reminder, he was clever enough, and he almost lost his life because of his will.

Thinking of this, this Xiong Kaiyuan also took it seriously, and swallowed back the second half of the words, and the raised tone dropped sharply.

"Whether to let go or not is naturally up to the heroes, this master did save Kaiyuan's life." Then Xiong Kaiyuan dragged Jiexiu to a place far away from Li Xin and the others, and said in a low voice: "Master Engong, I don't hide it, I don't know the details of these people below, looking at the outlaws, I advise you not to entangle with them, you can go to the capital to find me in the future, and you will be grateful for saving your life!" ”

Xiong Kaiyuan informed Jiexiu of his temporary address and name in the capital, and persuaded him to leave as soon as possible.

Unexpectedly, Jiexiu smiled, put aside Xiong Kaiyuan, and read the syntax number aloud.

"Saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, so why ask for a report. Donor, if he has a fate, you and I should see each other again, but if there is no fate, even if you search for this world, you may not see it! ”

Xiong Kaiyuan was originally kind-hearted, but the other party didn't appreciate it, and said hurriedly: "You foolish monk......" Before he finished speaking, he heard Liu Yuliang calling him. "Xuannian, don't make noise with him, the army is out, keep up." As soon as he turned his head, he saw that everyone had already mounted his horses, and they were ready to set off.

This can scare Xiong Kaiyuan out of a cold sweat, and he was finally saved, if he is not in the village in front of the village and the store in the back, how can he be good? I don't care about persuading that I should take a break.

"Elder Ge is waiting for me!"

Liu Yuliang really thought about Xiong Kaiyuan, and asked Li Xin for a horse for him, waiting for him. Li Xin had robbed a lot of horses in the Qing army camp, and many of his men were one person and two horses, so it was not a problem to allocate two horses for them to multiply.

Monk Jiexiu saw that Li Xin had slipped away, and then chased forward, "Donor, donor, wait for the poor monk......"

Xiong Kaiyuan followed Liu Yuliang and urged the horse to chase after Li Xin's brigade, and he didn't forget to turn around and tell Jiexiu, who kept chasing.

"The master has time to go to the capital to find Kaiyuan, this is not a place to stay for a long time, please leave as soon as possible!"

Jiexiu didn't appreciate it, "If it weren't for the donor's noise, why let him slip away......"

The horse team ran faster and faster, and Jiexiu was two meat legs after all, how could it compare to the war horse, and finally disappeared without a trace.

Li Xin led the people along the Bao River in the direction of Xiongxian, which was seventy miles north of Renqiu, and went straight for half an hour before stopping and ordering the teams to rest in place. He rushed out of these more than ten miles in his place, not for the sake of the monk Duobi Najiexiu, but he was faintly worried, since Najiexiu could find them, if the Qing army followed the trail, then what would it be? That's why I tossed this little half an hour.

Suddenly, the ranger warned that there were unidentified people and horses on the slope ahead, with a scale of two or three hundred people. This made Li Xin surprised again, could it be that the Qing army came so quickly?

"Lu Jiu line up, follow me to kill and see!"

If the opponent is really a Tartar soldier, it is better to flee head-on and attack first.

Although the cavalry of the left team was exhausted after a night of fighting, they still maintained their extremely high morale, and rushed forward to the slope with shouts. Rushing to the front, Li Xin found that the other party was holding the scarlet battle flag of the Ming army, and carefully identified it, his soldiers all lost their armor and abandoned their armor, and the wolves were bèi, facing them who were roaring, as if they were going to fight to the death.

In fact, in the face of the pursuing cavalry, the infantry can only fight to the death is to be killed, and escape is still a dead end.

The cavalry and horse team went around in a circle, and Li Xin shouted and asked, "Is there a Ming army on the other side?" Who does it belong to? ”

Seeing the remnants of despair, and seeing that the incoming cavalry did not seem to be Tartars, the hope of life rose again. One of them, a man who looked like a general, stepped forward.

"The fifth military camp of the Beijing Division, General Li Daqian!"

"Huh? But General Li, who escorted Liu Ge to the south? ”

Lu Jiu asked on the side.

"Exactly, I don't know you?"

Lu Jiu grinned and said: "There is a misunderstanding, they are all their own people, and the elder is in our army, safe and sound!" ”

Although he dislikes the officials of the Ming Dynasty, this Li Daqian's appearance in front of the Tartars last night is really admirable, and in the face of the absolute disadvantage of being outnumbered by the enemy, he can still deal with it calmly, which is really rare.

Liu Yuliang, who was anxious in the rear, was also overjoyed when he heard that he had found Li Daqian, thinking that General Li would not be spared after the entire army was destroyed, but he did not expect to escape from the encirclement.

Li Xin observed that the slope of refuge selected by Li Daqian was really a good place to hide, the slope was to the south, facing Baiyangdian not far away, and the northern part was the official road through a dense forest, and ordinary marches might not pass through here. It just so happened that all the people and horses were resting here, and they would make plans when they were restored.

Lu Jiu and Zhang Shi found Li Xin together and dragged him to a secluded place by Baiyangdian. "Brother Thirteen really wants to escort that old man to Gaoyang? There are fifty or sixty thousand Tartar troops around Gaoyang City, and these hundreds of people have gone, and each person can drown us with a mouthful of spit. Lu Jiu asked urgently, he had never had a chance before, but now he was free, and he said all his worries.

Li Xin nodded, if it was an ordinary matter, he might not be able to take care of it, but since the imperial court wants to use Sun Chengzong, this is unprecedented in history, maybe adding a capable minister and a cadre can more or less make the fate of the Ming Dynasty worse and worse to have a slight improvement, maybe it can rewrite the fate of the Tartar into the Central Plains!

Therefore, he believes that this risk is worth taking and must be taken.

"The emperor is preparing to restore the Sun Pavilion, and the holy decree is on Liu Yuliang, so I must escort him into Gaoyang City!"

"What? Is this true? ”

Li Xin nodded, he had specially come to watch the holy decree, and it was indeed the military administration of the three provinces of Governor Sun Chengzong.

Zhang Shi couldn't help but be overjoyed, he came out of Gaoyang City, and naturally had a special feeling for Sun Chengzong, and Sun Chengzong was loyal to state affairs and famous, wouldn't the emperor use him to mean that everyone would have a good life soon.

In ancient times, the people were simple-minded and pinned all their hopes on a good official, a clean official. Sun Chengzong's image is in line with the conditions of this Qingtian lord, originally Zhang Shi and Lu Jiulai opposed Li Xin's going to Gaoyang, and he was shaken when he heard Li Xin say this.

Li Xin is categorical:

"Gao Yang has to go no matter what, and he has to go to the sword mountain and the sea of fire!"

Li Xin insisted on going, but Lu Jiu was speechless.

Zhang Lu and the two dispersed, leaving Li Xin alone to lose his mind by Baiyangdian, Liu Yuliang paced over and asked Li Xin mysteriously.

"General Li, the old man has something to ask, I don't know ......"

"Ge Lao, but ask is!"

"The old man accidentally saw a soldier holding three wooden boxes, one of them accidentally fell, and a human head rolled out of it, don't you know?"

Li Xinxin said, he was still discovered, he didn't want to take out these three heads so quickly, but since they were seen by Liu Yuliang, it didn't hurt to tell the truth.

"Do you know who that head is?"

"Who is it?"

Liu Yuliang pricked up his ears.

"The eldest son of the Tartar Hypocrite Prince Daishan, Yue Tuo!"

"What, what?"

Li Xin repeated it again.

Liu Yuliang intuitively felt that blood rushed to his brain, he stumbled two steps excitedly, stepped forward to grab Li Xin, and asked again: "This, is this serious?" ”

"It's true!"
