Chapter Fifty-Four: The Marquis of the Town is Really Good Yaxing!
Lu Chen and the others stood on the hill and looked at the way to enter Xuzhou, there was a camp tent in the distance, there were soldiers patrolling outside the camp tent, and there were scribes checking their identities in the aisles, whether they were aliens or NPCs, they had to verify their identities one by one before they were allowed to pass.
Li Long was puzzled: "Something happened in Xuzhou?" ”
Lu Chen and the others couldn't answer this question, if they wanted to arrive in Langya, they had to pass the following inspection, and Lu Chen was more concerned about the other party's purpose in terms of haunting and accidents.
Yang Feng has already gone to investigate.
They took advantage of the time to rest for a while and replenish some food, and the torment of the previous days plus the three days of continuous travel had caused them to almost collapse.
Due to the attack of the war horses, there were basically no bandits on the road, and they arrived at the boundary of Xuzhou smoothly.
But Lu Chen's vigilance still did not slacken, but he paid more attention to this task, it was the second time he met a female NPC who did not want to reveal his name, and both times he had a terrible headache, if it wasn't for the mandatory task, he might really kill her directly.
Night is falling.
Yang Feng has already returned, and his investigation does not seem to be to test it in person, bandits have bandit methods, and it is much easier to catch a little minions and ask questions than to tempt.
When he returned, he went into the tent alone.
Lu Chen couldn't wait to ask, "What's going on next?" ”
Yang Feng glanced outside the tent and made sure that no one was eavesdropping, before he whispered: "Lord, it's Liu Yu's subordinates, and it's you who they're looking for." ”
Lu Chen's face darkened, his heart was full of anger, and he said secretly: "Damn Liu Yu, Lao Tzu didn't mess with you, why did you come to get Lao Tzu, in this case, don't blame me for partnering with Gongsun Zhan to kill you." ”
He walked out of the tent.
Looking at Lin Jun, who didn't say anything all the way, he was naturally a little worried in his heart, after all, he had once attacked him, as the saying goes, you can't have the heart to harm others, and you can't have the heart to defend people, it is difficult to tell whether Lin Jun is an enemy or a friend at this time.
If you break through head-on and don't get shot into a sieve, you will also become a porcupine.
And.
You can't stay here any longer.
He sat down and looked at Li Long and the others who were roasting the fire, and said slowly: "We have to go separately again, the army below is coming for us." ”
Li Long's face was full of doubts, but he had to believe Lu Chen, they were all grasshoppers on the same line now, as long as they could complete the task, he would be satisfied.
"What to do, you say, we listen to you." He said.
Lu Chen looked at the other three and asked for their opinions, Yu Wenyuan probed his hand and said casually, Zhu Hong didn't speak, he still nodded, Lin Jun wanted to say something, but when he saw that they all agreed, he didn't say anything.
"Okay, since we are all escorting that woman back, then I decided to separate everyone, you go north to Jizhou and return to Youyou and the two places, I will take the woman around here alone, go south to Xiapi and then go north to Langya County."
After Lu Chen finished talking about the plan, Zhu Hong's face darkened, Lin Jun directly coldened, and even Li Long and Yu Wenyuan were stunned and didn't speak.
Lu Chen naturally knew what they were thinking.
He is also very clear about his plans, no matter whether there will be a follow-up to this task, but Lu Chen doesn't want to take it, this task can be regarded as the end of it, all he wants is to avoid himself from entering the prison, the purpose of this is completely to prevent any of them from colluding with Liu Yu and sneaking up on him from behind.
After all, Liu Yu is different from thieves and aliens, and partnering with Liu Yu is completely from the position of the Han, no matter what the consequences are, he has Liu Yu's support, he is just a stranger with no background, and if he dies, he is dead, as for what town border marquis, in Liu Yu's eyes, it is like a fiction.
"If you want to take on the follow-up task, you can also go to Langya and wait for me first, I just need to complete this task."
When Li Long heard Lu Chen's last words, he slowly reacted, and asked with a little unease, "Are you really okay alone?" ”
"Well, as long as I'm alive, the mission will be completed."
Lu Chen's firm eyes made Li Long suddenly have the illusion that there should be no problem, only Lu Chen himself knew that the task was not completed, and he must have been cold.
"Okay, I'll wait for you in Langya County first."
Yuwen Yuan saw that Li Long was relieved, and immediately nodded.
The rest of Zhu Hong and Lin Jun didn't speak, and Lu Chen didn't explain anymore, he patted everyone and said slowly: "Believe me, the task will definitely be completed." ”
This is no longer Lu Chen's selfishness, but he is not at ease entrusting his life to others, for them, it is just a task, and for Lu Chen, this is a gamble.
Lu Chen packed up his things and took the woman to the snow and Wuqi, Yang Feng followed closely, they went south, Li Long and Yu Wenyuan also packed their things and began to go north, preparing to make a big circle and arrive at Langya County first.
Zhu Hong didn't move, just glanced at the three people who were walking separately.
Lin Jun didn't even pack up the camp tent, so he rushed down the mountain, as if he knew that the army below had Liu Yu's subordinates, Lu Chen and the others just left, and they rushed to the military camp below to report the news.
And all this was seen by Li Long and the others, who were hiding not far away.
Li Long snorted softly: "Sure enough, it's him." ”
Yu Wenyuan suddenly shook his head and sighed: "No wonder the bandits were able to assemble in advance before, and they couldn't shake it off like a piece of kraft candy, it seems that it must be Lin Jun, a traitor, who reported the news." ”
"We don't have any soldiers or generals now, we can't do anything, forget it, let's go, I hope Su Datuo can successfully complete the task." Li Long patted Yu Wenyuan lightly and said.
Yu Wenyuan nodded helplessly, and gradually left here with Li Long.
They didn't have long to leave.
Hundreds of lancers in the tent below pursued to the south, the firelight illuminating the entire woods, and they desperately pursued them, with Xian Yuyin taking the lead.
On a hillside, Lu Chen hid in it, looking at Xian Yuyin, who had already chased away, with a faint smile on his face.
"Lord, they have already left, are we going to break through now?"
Lu Chen glanced at him and said, "Do you want to be shot into a porcupine?" Wait, as long as the pursuing cavalry turns back in vain, they will definitely follow and withdraw, and we can safely enter the Xuzhou territory. ”
"Oh."
Two hours passed.
Xian Yuyin really turned back, and after they returned to the camp tent, after a while, the defense line at the crossing had been withdrawn, and the camp tent was gradually dismantled, and they were really ready to leave.
"Lord, shall we go down now?"
Yang Feng's question made Lu Chen hesitate again, feeling that everything was as planned, but he always felt that something was wrong, Zhu Hong's performance was too calm, and those who played Infernal Affairs were disgusting.
He said, "Let's wait." ”
Time passed little by little, Lu Chen calmed down and waited, and at the same time, in the forest not far from the crossing, they were also waiting, Lin Jun stood beside Xian Yuyin and smiled.
Three watches.
There was silence all around, even the woman's trembling sound could be heard clearly, Lu Chen took out a plush coat and handed it to the woman, and then looked away from afar, and what he saw was an open area, and there didn't even seem to be a mosquito.
After a long pause.
He said: "Let's go, we will enter Xuzhou now, as long as we arrive in Xuzhou, we are not afraid of Liu Yu, and the territory of Xuzhou is not under his control." ”
"Hmm."
Treading the snow and the black horse, with Lu Chen and the woman, rode a horse and whipped to the crossing, as long as they rushed through here, they would be safe, and the Fu family would definitely bring their family to greet them.
Yang Feng followed closely, holding a big knife in his hand and a wooden shield to prevent the other party from ambushing him.
The remaining wooden fence at the crossing had to allow Lu Chen to slow down and pass through slowly, and the agile movements of the snow and black horses kept it from being stuck in the horse pit, which was a means to prevent the enemy from driving the horses to force through the crossing defense line.
Lu Chen looked at the crossing, there was a long opening, and the slopes on both sides were dense woods, if the other party had ambushed himself here at the beginning, then even Lu Bu would not be able to escape.
He was secretly glad that the other party did not do this.
Driving the horse into the long valley mouth, the road was silent, Lu Chen's heart was full of doubts, the horses passed through here, didn't there even birds and beasts?
He frowned slightly, faster, and his heart was faintly uneasy.
"Lord, I think it's weird here!"
Lu Chen heard Yang Feng's reminder, and was sure that there must be an ambush here, and he was tricked, so he had no choice but to retreat, so he could only try to rush over.
But why didn't they rush down?
I chuckled in my heart.
"No, there must be a blockade ahead."
That's when it happened.
They saw a row of wooden fences lined up in front of them, and then a row of Han-made sword and shield soldiers emerged, blocking the front in unison, frightening Lu Chen to turn his horse's head in time.
Meantime.
In the dense forests on both sides, rows of archers drew their bows and arrows, aiming at Lu Chen and the others, and a spear cavalry behind them slowly blocked the way back.
The land dust is like dead ash.
Yang Feng protected Lu Chen behind him, looking at the enemies on all sides surrounding them, but he didn't expect to be tricked.
"Lord, what should we do now?"
Lu Chen held a wooden shield to protect the woman, stared at the cavalry that appeared behind him, and saw a familiar figure, it was Lin Jun with his face covered, he was holding a halberd, riding a tall horse and standing beside the cavalry leader, that person must be the general under the command of Liu Yu, the assassin of Youzhou.
"Shameless traitor, put down the eldest princess in your hands, or we will shoot you under ten thousand arrows." Lin Jun called out in a suppressed voice.
Lu Chen smiled faintly, this Lin Jun was afraid that he felt that if he spoke with his throat suppressed, he would be able to cover up his shameless behavior, which was really shameless.
"If you don't put it down, do you dare to kill the eldest princess?" Seeing that Lu Chen didn't react, Lin Jun immediately asked again, in his eyes, Lu Chen would definitely die, even if he said his identity, Xian Yuyin would not admit it, and would definitely kill him, the only reason why he wanted to get that woman was the mission.
A follow-up mission that doesn't yet exist is known.
Xian Yuyin rode out slowly on a tall horse, glanced at Lu Chen, who was holding a silver spear, holding a wooden shield, and holding a woman, with a thick smile on his face.
"The Marquis of the town is really good Yaxing!" He said suddenly.
Lin Jun behind him chuckled, and the moment he heard Xian Yuyin shout the three words of the town, he sighed secretly in his heart, what is Xian Yuyin doing with this stupid predator, he can't pretend to be a big feces in his head, does he have to show the identity of the other party, show that he is awesome, and directly order to rush up and stab him to death, and save the woman.
Lu Chen secretly took a step back, trying to distance himself from Xian Yuyin, seeing that the other party was arrogant, whether he showed his identity or not, or that the border marquis of Inhuman Town who was not guarded by the NPC could only be regarded as a ball in the eyes of NPCs.
Besides, Liu Yu's shameless old dog is the other party's backer.
