Knowing that their whereabouts were exposed, Wang Xu and the others did not dare to delay any longer, and ran wildly from the small road to Luoyang in the east.

As they expected, those people dressed as Orions were Cao Jun's spies. Such spies are all over the entrances and exits of all large and small mountains, constantly wandering and cruising, just to find their traces.

And this is also the game that Zhong Yu laid out after understanding the meaning of his father Zhong Xuan.

He first blocked the waterway of the Yellow River, which was most prone to accidents, and then blocked the passage of one qiē size with great fanfare, and then released the rumors, so that the rumor that this big cage was extremely strong and had no flaws to drill, and the only thing that could be used was to climb over the mountains and climb the cliffs to avoid searching.

In this way, for the sake of safety, Wang Xu and the others relied on their martial arts, so they should take the safest path.

But in fact, there are groups of soldiers on the edges of these mountains who act as ordinary people, constantly wandering, and as long as they find traces of people coming out of the mountains, they can find their traces with a little careful investigation.

In this way, it not only prevented Wang Xu from coming up with more clever ways to get out, but also greatly reduced the difficulty of the search.

After all, when the general range is determined and the manpower is sufficient, the more people there are, the more difficult it is to distinguish the enemy, and the fewer people there are, the easier it is for the enemy's whereabouts to be exposed, and the easier it is to reveal flaws.

Wang Xu and the others had just left that place for half an hour, and dozens of masters with extraordinary skills arrived, and then traced the traces of several people all the way.

At the same time, soldiers from all over the country gathered in this area on a large scale, and Cao Ren, the defender of Luoyang City, also sent troops and horses to intercept them along the way.

This can push them into a wolf. Earlier fled from Hongnong. Xu Rong couldn't tell where it went. Naturally, the pursuit is not very effective.

But now it is locked in the direction, there is a blockade in front, there are chasing soldiers in the back, and there are many masters who are good at tracking, biting their traces, the effect is not the same, a day galloping, has repeatedly encountered Cao Jun's small group of soldiers and horses.

Fortunately, the martial arts of several people are extraordinary. The troops of dozens of hundreds of people, as long as they did not set traps and wait, they could not stop them, but they were robbed by a few people, so although it was difficult, it was finally in danger, but if it went on like this, no one could stand it, and sooner or later they would only be blocked.

In the evening of the next day, several people rushed to a place only twenty miles away from Gucheng. Again the road was blocked, and this time. It was Cao Ren who led the army to arrest him, and there were countless secret agents and thieves of Cao Cao's forces.

Before the two sides met, Wang Xu sensed that the situation was not good, and immediately made a decision, no longer running to the powerful east, and quickly turned to the north.

Galloping on the road overnight, Zhou Zhi, who was full of fatigue, was worried, panting and said: "Boss, the north is the Yellow River, if you can't cross the river and are blocked by the Yellow River, it will be a dead end." ”

"Ahem, ahem...... If you don't go north, it's a dead end! Wang Xu had a cold face, and his voice was very flat: "The Cao army in the east and south must be the most, and the retreat in the west is exhausted, so you can only go to the north, no matter what, one step at a time." ”

Running all the way out of dozens of miles, Wang Xu suddenly grabbed the reins of the horse and jumped down. "Everyone dismounted, went into the mountains and forests, and turned to the east."

Several people did not hesitate, and completed this qiē quickly, and then slapped the horse's buttocks, letting the horse continue to run alone, and several people took advantage of the cover of night to enter the mountains and forests in the east and turn to the east.

After running for only a few miles, the sound of horses' hooves could already be heard behind them, but they were soon far away, apparently chasing the direction of the horses and continuing north.

At this time, Wang Xu sat down against a big tree, took out a piece of dried meat from his arms, and said with a smile: "It's hard to have such a break time, eat something, there should be no danger in two hours, even if you die, don't be a starving ghost." ”

"You're still in the mood to play!" Zhang Ning scolded coldly, but still sat down and began to eat.

Shrugging helplessly, Wang Xu didn't dare to answer her words, and ate by himself.

Quickly filling his stomach, he looked at the sky, and said a little weakly: "Huang Xu, Zhou Zhi, the three of us take turns to be on guard, everyone take this time to rest, cough cough cough...... Set off in two hours. ”

Huang Xu then answered: "Childe, your health is getting worse and worse, it's better to rest, Brother Zhou and I are enough!" ”

"Yes, boss, don't die to save face, this is not the time to show your martial arts, I don't believe you ask the two beauties to see if they are interested in appreciating heroic men, so let's sleep on your big head, and don't pretend to be heroes!" Zhou Zhitong's eyes were red, but he said humorously, in fact, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days.

The three of them looked at each other for a moment, and finally Wang Xu compromised, especially with Zhou Zhi, who had been with each other for so many years of life and death, and there was no need to say anything.

He also knew in his heart that if he didn't rest, he would soon become a heavy burden, and the poison in his body was already gradually deteriorating.

Everyone was very tired at the moment, and they didn't want to argue too much, and soon fell asleep.

About two hours later, Zhou Zhi woke up everyone and hurried off in the night.

At dawn, the group arrived near the Pingyin ferry, but they did not dare to go east, because they found out from a few miles away that they had run to Pingyin County, and this was a garrison point of the Cao army.

Lying in the dense forest behind the small hill, Zhou Zhi gasped and asked, "Boss, what should I do?" ”

"Let's force the river!" Before Wang Xu could answer, Ling Wanqing said with a wry smile.

Wang Xu pondered for a moment, and sighed helplessly: "It's impossible to go back, and you can only cross the river!" ”

"But how can you get there without a boat?" Zhang Ningxiu's eyebrows furrowed.

"There must be small boats in the hands of fishermen along the coast." Huang Xu said.

"Hmm!" Wang Xu nodded, then looked at everyone, and ordered: "Huang Xu, if you observe the river tomorrow, I don't believe that the Cao army and ships will always patrol one place, there is always a break period, be sure to give me time to observe." ”

"Good!" Huang Xu touched his face full of dirt and said dryly.

"Zhou Zhi, you go and grab a small boat, the more remote the better, and then subdue the family first, hide yourself, remember not to kill lightly."

"Don't worry, boss, I'm measured!" Zhou Zhi patted his chest and said.

In the end, Wang Xu looked at Ling Wanqing and Zhang Ning, and said in a deep voice: "You two come with me, I have to set up a formation nearby, and do some concealment means to confuse Cao Jun to go south for the time being, and will not search the vicinity, give us a day to rest." ”

"Hmm!"

Soon, several people worked together and got busy.

Because of the rush of time, the formation laid out by Wang Xu is only a small-scale formation, and the main effect is visual disturbance, plus making some traces out, it can confuse Cao Jun in a short period of time, making them feel that a few people are turning south again.

Fortunately, the process was relatively smooth, and he successfully got a chance to breathe, Zhou Zhi found a family of fishermen living alone, and the nearest family was two or three miles away.

A few people didn't dare to go together, for fear that the crowd would attract attention, so they found a hidden bush nearby to rest.

Huang Xu had to work a little harder, and after a good night's sleep, he dived to the river alone in the afternoon to observe Cao Jun's patrol boat and find out its patrol cycle.

Night came again, and although the few people who had been rested were covered in dirt, they were still in good spirits, and under the cover of night, they quickly approached the house that Zhou Zhi had looted.

Entering the house, looking at the fishermen's family who were tied to the bed, stuffed with rags in their mouths, and full of fear, Wang Xu also felt a little guilty in his heart, took out a small piece of silver from his arms and put it on the table, and said softly: "I'm really sorry to disturb you, all this silver should be reparated, don't make a noise in the future, the silver must be handled carefully, don't make trouble happen, make me feel uneasy." ”

After speaking, he sighed, and no longer dwelled on these trivial things, and asked Huang Xu instead: "How long will there be a chance to cross the river?" ”

"About half an hour later, when the other side of the river will be signaled by the palm lamp, and then the Cao army ships will be replaced, during which there will be about a quarter of an hour to two quarters of an hour, and there will be no military boats on the river, and there will be no torches to light the river, which is the only time for us to cross the river."

After speaking, Huang Xu paused, but added: "It's just that there is a sentry post on the other side of the river, about a hundred people, and it is also the only place where we can land, if we get close, we must rush out." ”

Wang Xu was slightly contemplative, but then said with a smile: "If we can get on the shore, with the martial arts of a few of us, it shouldn't be a problem to break out of the blockade of one hundred and ten people." ”

"Yes!" Zhou Zhi nodded, took over and said: "As long as you can cross the river, everything is easy to do, north of the Yellow River, Cao's army only occupies the southern part of Hedong County under the rule of Si Li, as well as Hanoi County, the territory is long and narrow, and the control force is also weak, just as the northern gateway of the Si Li region, it is not so easy to catch us." ”

"Hahaha...... Zhou Zhi, I haven't seen you for many years, and you have become a general who can be a big responsibility, very well! ”

At this moment, a burst of laughter came into the room, and the words made everyone instantly pale, looking at each other, their hands and feet were cold, Huang Xu immediately pulled out the knife and protected it in front of Wang Xu.

Now, Wang Xu has no choice, if he is really found to be besieged, it will naturally be nine deaths and no luck, so he immediately took a deep breath and replied aloud without losing his bearing: "Who is coming?" ”

"Hahaha...... When the old people meet, why is the general so indifferent, why don't you come out for a while? ”

The visitor still hadn't shown up, but there was some joy in his voice.

Wang Xu was stunned for a moment, and finally raised his head and stepped forward.

Huang Xu eagerly dissuaded: "Childe, I'll stop it, you look for a chance to get out." ”

"Useless!" Wang Xu waved his hand and said: "The army of Cao Jun is nearby, and this place is already a Jedi, if it is really besieged and it is difficult to escape, it is better to go out generously, than to be shot by random arrows or burned here, and die of humiliation." ”

"This ......" Huang Xu was a little overwhelmed, and his head was covered with sweat.

Without paying attention to it so much, Wang Xu took a deep breath, opened the door, and strode forward, followed by Ling Wanqing, Zhang Ning, Huang Xu, and Zhou Zhi.

But as soon as he walked out of the door and looked at it for a moment by the faint light in the room, he froze...... (To be continued......)
