"Master, Wang Wu, who was exploring the way, came back and said that the Xiaoqing River ferry has been controlled by the Ziqing soldiers. Wang Wu said that there were not many merchants in and out of Ziqing, and now they are being arrested and killed, and there are even fewer gangs. Master, if we go south and west as originally planned, I'm afraid that our identity will be too eye-catching. So I thought about it, let's just change the route to Yunzhou, which is the closest to Puyang. ”

Wu Ciyou said. Li Guangyan had already besieged Puyang, and his troops were directed at Yunzhou, which was the closest official army to them. The problem is that Yunzhou is the location of the Ziqing Festival envoy and the center of Ziqing, and the Ziqing soldiers gathered near Yunzhou are afraid that there are fifty or sixty thousand, and they want to pass through safely, but it is not as simple as they say. As soon as he thought of the spectacular scene of the 50,000 or 60,000 troops spreading out on the plains to search and chase his small army of more than a dozen people, Li Yu felt a strong emotion rise in his heart, and he was so excited that he couldn't help himself. In order to stabilize his emotions, Li Yu set his sights on Duan Wenchang. Duan Wenchang bit out two words from his mouth with a solemn expression:

"Yunzhou!"

This time, Duan Wenchang and Wu Ciyou did not have any suspicions, and set the direction of progress in Yunzhou. In fact, the reason is very simple, because they still have a choice when they were in Xiangzhou, and they have no choice here. The reason why they hid in the recess was that the guards sent out to explore the road came back to report that the Xiaoqing River crossing in front had been blocked, and the Ziqing soldiers were arresting foreign merchants. In the twelve prefectures of Ziqing, as long as it is a foreigner, it is dangerous. If you want to be less easily distinguished, you can only go to the place with the most people from other places to take refuge. Where is the most out-of-trough? Come to think of it, there is only Yunzhou, the capital of Ziqing. Just as it is often safest to be in the center of a storm, they are now rushing to the center of this storm.

"Li Xiaozhong and they have already been killed, as long as the news arrives, Li Xiangguo will immediately send a large army to attack Ziqing, and then we can go back safely."

Duan Wenchang said. In fact, there is another reason for this decision. If there is no Li Yu, it is not impossible for everyone to eat and sleep in the open, but everyone knows Li Yu's body, and he really can't toss between the barren mountains and mountains. Li Yu himself knew very well that if he was in good health, he would definitely propose to go to the Yimeng Mountains to fight guerrillas. But now, Li Yu looked at his body, so forget it.

"Okay, it's decided, and I'll go to Yunzhou immediately. Wu Ciyou, you go and arrange for two people to explore the way in front, Wenchang, you follow me. Also, leave the carriage here and take the horses away. ”

Seeing that everyone was unanimous, Li Yu issued an order. Wu Ciyou was stunned, but he also understood that it was really not suitable to take a carriage now, so he took the order. After a little preparation, the group began the difficult march.

"Da Da", a group of cavalry whistled by the side of the road, and when the cavalry turned the bend in front of them, they could not hear the sound of horses' hooves, the guards lying at the bottom of the wet and cold ditch made a whistle, Li Yu led the horses and they immediately came out of the woods not far away, regardless of the cold air from the seams of their clothes to their bodies, and ran up desperately. Just got out of it, and the accident happened.

This day was the happiest day of the Ziqing cavalry calves stationed in Dong'e since the start of the war. On this day, they were ordered to check the merchants from other places, and they had already made four fortunes. Originally, they were supposed to collect their troops and return to the camp, but the brothers were still unsatisfied, and looked at the commander who led the team. Now is the era when cavalry dominates the victory or defeat of the war, the cavalry in every army is a treasure, they get a lot of pay, and they don't know how much better life is than the infantry, but the commander is exploiting, and the lower has to support the family, so it is easy to have the opportunity to make a fortune, who doesn't want to make more?

"Grandma, seeing that Li Dashuai is about to be unable to hold on, if you don't take advantage of this time to get more fish, there will be no place to run when the time comes."

The chief also understands that the more he catches, the more he shares. But what should I do if I have already swept away this way, and there are brothers in the same battalion in all other directions?

"Liu Tou, we haven't gone far this way, and then it's Pingyin."

A veteran soldier reminded him pretending to be unintentional.

"Liu Tou, it's so far away anyway, let's go to Pingyin, right?"

The brothers seemed to have suddenly opened their minds, and they all chimed in, and some people shouted:

"If you ask them, they will say that they accidentally crossed the line. Let's cross the line not far, just a dozen miles. ”

"Yes, Liu Tou, the horse hasn't run away yet. Horses must be practiced often, otherwise they will be timid when they go into battle. ”

The soldiers' gossip made Liu Touyi moved, anyway, there were only about 20 of them, what if they were discovered?

"It's all nonsense, where is Pingyin in front, it's clear that it's still in Dong'a. Boys, there are illegal traders in front, chase after Lao Tzu! ”

The soldiers cheered and rode their horses to the ground. It was also their luck that they encountered a group of vendors as soon as they entered the territory of Pingyin, and when they saw them from afar, they turned around and ran. How can you be polite at this time, the cavalry chased after them without commanding, and they were all very excited. And this calf was really unlucky, and he was about to catch up with the merchant in front of him, when he suddenly had a stomachache, so he had to rein in his horse, and in spite of the cold weather, he solved the problem by the side of the road, and while trying to lighten the burden, he prayed that his brothers would not be too quick to do so. After solving it easily, he picked up a piece of dirt and wiped his buttocks, and was lifting his pants up, when a slight noise came from the side.

Lift your pants and lead the horse, and the calf's heart blossoms.

Pinned to the edge of the rock, the calf saw a caravan of merchant-like men leading their horses down the woods. The calf jerked its head back and pressed against the rock. Gasping violently for excitement. Although these people didn't bring goods, horses were worth a lot of money, right? Can these merchants carry no money with them? The calf's eyes flashed greedily, and his hand quietly touched the hilt of the knife. However, the calf was still not carried away by the imaginary victory, there were more than a dozen people on the other side, and he only had one person and one horse, and the other party really wanted to buy his own account, so what should he do, even if he ran, he might not be able to catch up. The calf didn't expect another possibility.

It's a question of stopping them or reporting them.

The calf's mind was thinking about what to do, over there Li Yu and they had already got on the horse, listening to Li Chen's noisy voice in the south and north, maybe it was because the merchants along the way were going south, the calf subconsciously thought that these merchants were going to the place where they were standing, and stretched out their heads to take a look, but as soon as they stretched their heads out, they heard the sound of horses' hooves from the south. The calf was excited and shouted:

"Liu Tou'er, come on, there are big fish here!"

The calf's shout surprised Li Yu and them, Duan Wenchang's face turned white all of a sudden, and Wu Ciyou immediately drew his blade and led people over. The excited calf didn't see Liu Tou, but suffered a heavy blow on the back of his head. When the calf woke up, what he saw was Wu Ciyou's majestic face.

"Master, he's awake."

Wu Ciyou turned his face back and said to Li Yu.

"Ask!"

Only then did the calf see that he was in a clearing in the woods, and a middle-aged man with a fluttering beard was sitting on a horse, and the calf immediately judged that this was the head of this group of merchants, and before he could make a threat, Wu Ciyou had already lifted him up.

"Say, what is your name, where do you live, where do you come from, and what is the purpose?"

"My surname is your uncle. Your uncle, I advise you to be careful, this is on the ground of Li Dashuai in Ziqing, hurry up and send the master back with all the tails, otherwise, hum, you will suffer. ”

Wu Ciyou was furious and swung his fist to fight, but the calf turned his face up and shouted:

"You shabby businessman, dare to beat the master, the master promises to pay you back ten times!"

Li Yu listened to the sermon in the back:

"Yo, your mouth is quite hard. Old five, come here. ”

Because of secrecy, Li Yu's stubbornness disappeared without a trace after Li Yu whispered that Wu Ciyou cut a human stick, and poured beans into the bamboo tube to generally recruit his number station, as well as the name of the chief, what are the names, what are the names, what are the characteristics, where do you like to eat overlord meals, etc., Li Yu asked a few more questions, and after making sure that the calf did not lie, Li Yu made a mouth, and Wu Ciyou lifted the calf up.

"Master, spare your life! Didn't you always say that if I said you wouldn't kill me? ”

Li Yu, who had already turned the horse's head and was about to leave, turned around:

"Did I say that?"

The calf desperately shouted:

"Yes, yes."

Li Chan:

"Let you go, and you will bring someone to kill us again?"

The face of the calf is earthy:

"Don't dare, don't dare, if the little one dares to do this, the sky will thunder, and he will be kicked to death by a donkey when he goes out!"

Li Yu smiled:

"Oh, then let's spare him a dog's life!"

After speaking, he glanced at Wu Ciyou. Wu Ciyou understood, picked up the frightened and paralyzed calf and walked out. The calf shouted:

"Xie Ye left me a dog's life, Xie Ye left my dog's life!"

The calf was so frightened that he could only say that. But he soon found that it was worse to kill him than to kill him. Wu Ciyou and they stripped him naked and trapped him on a big tree on the side of the road, Wu Ciyou hated him for his disrespectful words, and deliberately chose a shady one. The calf cried bitterly, but its mouth was gagged again, and its mouth was just a cry of "woo, woo".

The king of the guards pricked up his ears to hear what he had to say, and said:

"What, you want cold water? Okay, I'm going to get it and splash it for you! ”

Frightened, the calf's legs kicked wildly, causing a burst of laughter from several guards, Wu Ciyou blackened his face and said:

"Don't make trouble, bring your own money, we still have to go to Li's house to do business."

The guards then got on their horses, and Wang Wu turned around and said:

"If you are not honest, Ye will come back immediately and pour water on your words!"

It was even more frightening to the calf. Wang Wu caught up with Wu Ciyou and said:

"Wu Tou, I found so much money from a bastard, this is definitely not a good bird, and it is so disrespectful, why didn't you kill him?"

Wu Ciyou stared at him angrily and said:

"Let's think about how to do your job well. If that cavalry were really around this time, we'd be at least half dead. ”

Wang Wu shrank his head, and then stretched out and said:

"Oops, Wu Tou, you just said where we're going, I have to go back and slaughter that calf."

Wu Ciyou was even more angry, and said:

"Kill him, I'm afraid he didn't hear it!"

When the Dong'an cavalry turned back after half a pillar of incense, they found a calf that was half frozen to death. When the calf trembled and said the three words "Li Jialou", Liu Touli was angry and immediately said:

"It's against them, come, go to Li's house."

There is a veteran who said:

"Liu Tou, Li Jialou is in Pingyin, we have just met with a messenger from Pingyin County, this Li Jialou is in Pingyin. Besides, these people have horses, should we bring some helpers? ”

Liu Tou said unhappily:

"Lusu what? If they don't have horses, I won't chase them. Besides, isn't it Dong'e after Li Jialou? If you dare not go, take the calf back to the camp! ”

The calf put on a garment stripped of the merchant, and refused to go back to the camp first, insisting on revenge. Said it was for revenge, but in fact it wasn't for that money? When the veteran saw that the calf didn't go back, how could he go back? The tired bodies of the cavalrymen were filled with fighting spirit again.

A happy life is created with your own hands!

What you can't create with your hands, use the long knife in your hand to create it!

What if you can't create a long knife?

Then you can only take your life.

On a curve, the Ziqing cavalry, who dreamed of a happy life, didn't even have time to react, and were shot by Wu Ciyou and the guards with crossbows. Then it was plucked out completely. The calf was luckier than his companions, and he followed behind without being killed by the arrow, unfortunately there was another horror of death on the way to death.

An hour later, when it was getting dark, a group of Ziqing cavalry escorted a carriage out of the house of Li Laocai, the largest landlord in Lijialou. Sitting in the carriage was Li Yu.

"From now on, you will be called Ye Li, Mrs. Li."

Duan Wenchang commanded Wu Ciyou seriously.
