Chapter 559: Snowy Night Mountain Forest
When night falls, the winter nights in the north are definitely not very warm, especially in the wilderness.
Wang Xu and his entourage left Hongnong before the city gate was closed, but they ushered in a fierce cold wind, and there were even white snowflakes, fortunately the snow was not very big, otherwise it would be even more difficult to find a place to stay.
In the middle of the night, several people were sleepy and tired, and in desperation, they could only run to the mountains and forests, find a small hole under the boulder, and sleep quietly.
This night, Xu Rong also went to bed very late, I don't know why, whenever he closed his eyes and was about to fall asleep, the boy he saw during the day kept appearing in his mind, although the pig-like appearance made him not feel good at all.
When he tossed and turned, and was finally about to fall asleep, he was woken up by a sudden sound of footsteps.
At that moment, he couldn't help but ask angrily: "Who disturbed General Ben's dream?" ”
"General Xu, it's me, Jia Kui!" Outside the door came the young voice of a trusted guard.
"Jia Kui?" Xu Rongwei was a little puzzled, this Jia Kui is a very smart person, he can distinguish priorities, and he will never bother rashly, since he is here, there must be something important to report.
At that moment, he couldn't help but get up to open the door for him, and asked in a deep voice: "Jia Kui, come so late, but there is something urgent?" ”
"Yes, it's from the capital, it's eight hundred miles in an emergency!"
As he spoke, Jia Kui rubbed his hands and took out the letter in his arms.
"Oh? Capital? Xu Rong frowned, quickly took it from his hand, and after a cursory reading, he said in disbelief: "Jia Kui, you go into the house!" ”
"Hmm!" Jia Kui obeyed the order and walked into the house.
Xu Rong then closed the door and brought the letter to the candle. Take a closer look. A moment later. He instructed Jia Kui: "Jia Kui, you will go to the major city gates with my warrant later, and notify the thief Cao of the Taishou Mansion, and tell him to immediately send a message to all counties and townships, set up checkpoints and sentry posts along the way, and the army must also give full assistance, within three days at the latest." All roads in the county must be guarded! ”
Jia Kui was shocked and asked strangely: "General, is this to arrest people?" ”
"Hmm!"
"Such a big move? It's definitely not an ordinary bandit, so who are you arresting? ”
Xu Rong was silent for a while this time, as if he was caught in a memory, his eyes were complicated, and he took a deep breath for a long time before he said word by word: "The lord of Jingzhou - Wang Xu." ”
"Lord of Jingzhou!" Jia Kui exclaimed, and then said in disbelief: "Isn't it rumored that Wang Xu was poisoned and is now trying to detoxify?" How could he have come so far? ”
"Sneak into Jingzhou's interior and report on the details. Wang Xu has not appeared for a long time, and now Shuzhong has just been pacified. It turned out to be his wife Xu Shu, and his confidants and retainers who ruled on his behalf, plus some other clues, as well as internal rumors over there, it has been confirmed that Wang Xu has now left his place. ”
As he spoke, Xu Rong looked at Jia Kui, who was surprised, and continued: "What's more, the matter of the strange poison in his body has also been confirmed through the original Yizhou fine work and the current inner line, and the lord has deduced from the intelligence of all parties that he must have gone north to seek a medicine called the Purple Blood Netherworld Root, so he must be arrested in the whole territory." ”
After Jia Kui heard this qiē, he immediately surrendered his hand and took the order: "Such a big thing, my subordinates will do it immediately!" ”
"Hmmm! Also, it is said that someone will send Wang Xu's portrait soon, you pay attention to receive it, and order someone to speed up copying. ”
"My subordinates understand!"
Jia Kui surrendered his order and was about to leave, but Xu Rong suddenly exclaimed: "Wait! ”
"Huh? What else is the matter with the general? ”
"Did those people say they were from Jingzhou today?" Xu Rong confirmed with some shock.
"Yes General!" After speaking, Jia Kui also looked at him in surprise. "The general is suspicious ......"
"Wang Xu, Wang Xu!"
Xu Rong ignored it, chattering to himself, constantly recalling the young general who defeated him at the beginning, and after a while, his mind was getting clearer and clearer, although ten years had passed, but he was still deeply in his memory.
With such a keen sense of observation as his, and once failed miserably in his hands, how could he be easily forgotten.
Slowly, he pieced together the pig-headed boy he saw today in his mind, and erected his messy long hair, and his swollen face was slightly thinner, comparable to the other side of his face......
At this time, a heroic young man appeared in Xu Rong's mind, and he was a little similar to the young man in his memory.
However, this is just his own imagination, and he can see how similar it would be if he were a real person.
In an instant, his face changed suddenly, and his thick palm slammed on the table.
"Oh no, Jia Kui, gather the guards and come with me to the tavern today!"
"No!"
Jia Kui was the governor of the matter, and quickly gathered the guards on duty, and hurried to the tavern with Xu Rong, who was dressed in armor.
The innkeeper was awakened by the sergeant's dense torches, frightened, and rushed out casually wearing a piece of clothing: "General, what happened? ”
Xu Rong didn't have time to talk to him, and asked angrily, "What about the travelers from Jingzhou this evening?" ”
"It's gone!"
The shopkeeper replied in astonishment, his face was dazed, and he couldn't figure out the situation, secretly thinking that General Xu was still talking and laughing with them in the afternoon, why did he change his face at night.
"Huh!" Xu Rong was unspeakably remorseful and asked quickly, "When did you leave?" ”
"Not long after you left, they led their horses in the direction of Beicheng."
At this time, Xu Rong no longer had any doubts, he was sure that the pig-headed boy was Wang Xu, and immediately said to himself angrily: "No wonder it's a little strange, no wonder you pretend to be sick immediately when you see me, no wonder you didn't dare to raise your head earlier, no wonder I treated me politely, but they were eager to leave." ”
The more he thought about it, the more angry he became, and the green tendons on his hand holding the big knife were exposed. "Order the whole army to chase and dig three feet into the ground around this Hongnong, and find it out for me!"
"No!"
Soon, the entire Hongnong City was in a commotion, countless soldiers shuttled back and forth, and the thieves were also very busy......
At this time. In the mountains and forests dozens of miles north of Hongnong City. Wang Xu and his entourage were sleeping soundly.
In dreams. Wang Xu was eating a big meal, but just as he was about to enjoy it, a big stone fell from the sky and smashed on him.
He narrowed his eyes unnaturally, and vaguely found that Zhou Zhi's big foot was actually on his chest, and he angrily pushed it away.
Zhou Zhi then woke up and said in a daze: "Boss, what are you doing!" ”
"Take care of your stinky feet!" Wang Xu muttered. When he turned around, he wanted to sleep again, but on this side, his ears were close to the ground, and he immediately heard a faint sound of muffled thunder.
For him who has been fighting for a long time, this sound is all too familiar, it is the sound made when the horse gallops, but the distance is far away.
In an instant, his eyes widened and he listened carefully for a moment, and the feeling of uneasiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger. Leaping from the ground, he hurried to the burning bonfire. Kick it out.
He made such a big move, and the rest of the people also woke up, Zhou Zhi was the first to turn around and asked urgently: "Boss, what's wrong?" ”
"Get up, put out the fire, bury the campfire and all traces!"
"Huh? Good! Zhou Zhi didn't ask a word, and he didn't talk about it when it was critical.
After a while, no longer sticking to the ground, just standing like this, you could hear the sound of iron horses stepping on it from the wilderness, and several people were in a hurry, quickly cleaning up the remaining traces.
Zhang Ning was not slow in his hands, but he was a little puzzled in his heart: "Why are you so panicked, even if there are cavalry, they may not be here to deal with us!" ”
Wang Xu was not in a hurry to answer, Zhou Zhi had already said: "Stupid, it must be a big deal to dispatch large-scale soldiers and horses in the middle of the night, and this Hongnong is deep in the central area of Sili, there is no enemy surrounding, and the only enemy in contact is Jingzhou, but will Jingzhou come to fight now?" ”
"In addition, this place is peaceful again, there is nothing to do, how can there be such a large-scale army sent overnight, you forgot that Xu Rong also had a private visit to Kung Fu Weifu in the afternoon. Another point, if it is a transfer of troops, it will not be so urgent, you listen to the sound of horses' hooves, which is the movement of ordinary movements, it is simply a full-speed charge, except for the urgent secret report and the pursuit of the enemy, I have not heard of a full-speed charge when marching. ”
"Then contact the importance of our own and rule out the impossible, then, nine times out of ten, it must be a goof."
With his words, everyone was faintly afraid, fortunately he left in the afternoon, if he didn't leave, then I am afraid that he would have died now and had no place to be buried.
After a while, several people hurriedly covered up a qiē trace, and Wang Xu said: "Go, stay away from the road and go to the mountains!" ”
"Hmm!"
No one objected, a few people marched quietly, Zhou Zhi was the hardest, one person held a thick branch, walked at the end, and kept grinding everyone's footprints in the process of moving forward.
As soon as they fled halfway up the mountain, they heard one after another shouting orders from the bottom of the mountain.
"Brothers' eyes are bright, if they see the wind and grass, they will report it immediately, and if they catch Wang Xu, they will be rewarded."
"The brothers of 352tun went to the forest on the right to check and see if there were any traces!"
"You guys go over there."
The noisy sound spread far away in the empty mountains, Wang Xu touched his swollen face, and said to himself unwillingly: "It's still not a good deal to hit your face like this!" ”
When Zhou Zhi heard this, he immediately lowered his voice and said, "Boss, I really convinced you, and now I am still in the mood to care about your tender face, hurry up!" ”
"Childe, quick, this way!" Ling Wan was familiar with the way, looking for the best hidden route.
Zhang Ning bit his lip tightly, his eyes were complicated, and he looked at Wang Xu's bent body from time to time, and suddenly felt a little confused in his heart.
first traveled thousands of miles to Chengdu to inform the antidote, and then personally took these people to embark on the road to find medicine, and faced countless difficulties and obstacles, always facing the tragic scene of life and death, is this really just that life?
At this moment, she suddenly felt a little confused.
Just when her mind was flying, the speed also slowed down, Wang Xu walked by her side, found that it still didn't move, immediately turned around, stretched out her hand, and anxiously urged: "Silly woman, why are you stunned, go quickly!" ”
"I want you to take care of it, I know to go!"
Zhang Ning gritted his teeth, slapped Wang Xu's outstretched hand away, and sped up his pace!
"This girl, I'm nervous again!" Wang Xu muttered, didn't bother to care, and took another step......
