Chapter 218: The River Rolling with Turbid Waves (Asking for Votes)
In Mu Yunyin's mind, the two figures who led Tuoba Dance away from the small town of Wei Kingdom appeared.
"Qiu Tong, where are you and Li Xian?"
…………
On the slopes of the loess mountains of the Wei Kingdom, two fierce horses were running under the scorching sun, and the dust and sand raised filled the road behind them.
"Qiu Tong, we should still go into the woods, so that it is easy to get rid of those people behind us."
Li Zhan said, turning his head to look at the people chasing after him from afar.
"We were just chased out of the woods by them, where else are the woods to hide?" Qiu Tong said to the Li people.
In order to lure away the people surrounding Mu Yunyin, Qiu Tong and Li Zhan led all the people to their side.
Seeing Mu Yunyin's Tuoba Dance fleeing back to Liang Kingdom, he was even more angry.
Tuoba Dance, who turned around, joined the hunt for Qiu Tong and Li Zhan.
The people of the Yuwen family even mobilized soldiers to chase and intercept Qiu Tong and Li Zhanwei.
Qiu Tong and Li Zhan don't know how many days they have been dealing with these Wei pursuers.
When night fell again, Qiu Tong and Li Zhan finally broke through from the pursuers on all sides under the cover of night.
By daybreak, the two had blended into a small town.
But what the two didn't expect was that the town was full of portraits of the two of them.
"No, Qiu Tong, we shouldn't have come here, there are portraits of us everywhere, especially the scar on your face, which is the easiest to recognize."
Li Zhan looked at a portrait of Qiu Tong and whispered to Qiu Tong.
"But, Li Zhan, you see, the people who went out of the city were carefully inspected one by one, and it was difficult for me to go out again."
"You go, Li Zhan, you can't be burdened by me." Qiu Tong finally spoke his mind.
Qiu Tong saw that Li Zhan's portrait did not look too much like Li Zhan himself, maybe he had only fought on the horse and had taken a few face-to-face photos, so the description was not like what he painted for the painter.
But the scar on Qiu Tong's face, although it has faded a lot, is the easiest to recognize.
Qiu Tong tore off a piece of the hem of his clothes, in order to cover half of his face.
This is only a temporary expediency, and on a hot day, the face is covered with a cloth, which in itself is eye-catching.
The two of them ate in the quiet place, and Li Zhan exchanged a hat from an old man and put it on Qiu Tong with his own hands.
The two sat down and took a sip of tea, ready to leave the town.
"You don't have to walk into the door of the town, from other places, there are exits out of the town."
Li Zhan quietly told Qiu Tong what he had just observed.
"Miss Yin should have already returned to Jiankang by now, and we have to leave Wei as soon as possible."
The two of them whispered, not noticing that behind the two of them, there was a pair of eyes staring at them insidiously.
Qiu Tong and Li Zhan put down their tea bowls, carried dry food, and walked along the town's quiet place.
When the two of them led the horses into a narrow street, the eyes that stared at them smiled coldly, and turned away.
Qiu Tong and Li Zhan hadn't yet reached the exit, and the sound of chaotic footsteps behind them had already been heard.
"It's those two people, just past."
"Are you sure?"
"I know the man among them, he is the king of Shunan of the Liang Kingdom, and he is now the personal guard of Ye Shenglin, the secretary of the Liang State Military Department, named Li Zhan, that woman, has a scar on her face, the same as on the notice."
The messenger led the people after them, along the junction with horseshoe prints.
When the pursuers walked away, Li Zhan and Qiu Tong walked out from the other direction of the intersection.
"There's only one horse left."
Qiu Tong threw away the branch in his hand, glanced at the horse's hoof prints that had been swept away by the branch, and then looked at the only horse behind him.
"The two of us ride a horse." Li Zhan said.
Qiu Tong avoided Li Zhan's gaze and did not refute.
"Li Zhan, that person seems to know you."
Qiu Tong said as he looked at the alley opposite.
"He is Xiao Qiyi's guard in Linze Palace, and he has met before."
"No wonder I know you."
Qiu Tong glanced up at Li Zhan worriedly, and avoided Li Zhan's eyes.
"Let's go quickly, when they catch up with the horse, they find that it is only an empty horse, and they will turn around and chase in this direction."
Qiu Tong sat in front with his head bowed, Li Zhan protected Qiu Tong on his chest, and the two of them ran sideways in the direction of Liang Guo.
Soon after, there were chasing soldiers, Qiu Tong and Li Zhan jumped on horseback, and the land of Liang was in front.
Suddenly, the galloping horse neighed and raised its front hooves.
At this moment, Qiu Tong and Li Zhan saw the cliff below in front of them, and the river with turbid waves rolling under the cliff.
The frightened horse, carrying Qiu Tong and Li Zhan, fell off the cliff.
…………
I came back a little late from Baili Mansion today, mainly because the steamed sea bass in Baili Mansion was delicious, and I ate more, so I ate it at this time, and I can say this to my father.
Mu Yunyin thought of an excuse to return late, and Starling's carriage had already stopped in front of Mu Fu's door.
"I'm going back."
Starling said to Mu Yunyin, but his eyes were glancing at Huang Li.
"Go back, be careful."
Huang Li didn't wait for Mu Yunyin to speak, so he said to Starling.
"I said goodbye to Miss Yin, and I didn't say it to you." Starling's mouth is a little underwhelming.
"I didn't tell you to be careful, I was telling you, it's so late, be careful to go back and bump into the ghost."
"You?" Starling was so angry that he jumped into the carriage as soon as he turned around, turned the horse's head, and left without looking back.
Looking at the direction of Starling's departure, Huang Li was a little aggrieved.
"Why bother, you can't talk well?"
Mu Yunyin looked at Huang Li, who was annoyed, and teased.
"Don't laugh at me like that, I'm not as gentle as you, and I can't even leave you with a cold Baili boy."
"You ........."
Mu Yunyin's face flushed, and he hurriedly looked around, and when he saw that there was no one, he blushed and went to buckle the door knocker himself.
The moment the door of Mu Fu opened, an arrow shot at Mu Yunyin from the darkness.
"Girl, be careful."
Huang Li threw Mu Yunyin to the ground at once, and when Huang Li got up, the archer had already fled on horseback.
The arrow was shot at the door of Mufu.
Mu Yunyin pulled out the arrow and saw that the arrow was stuck in a letter.
Opening the letter, Mu Yunyin's hand began to tremble.
"What's the matter, girl? What is written on it? ”
Mu Yunyin hurriedly hid the letter in his sleeve, shook his head and said to Huang Li:
"Nothing, just a letter of extortion, ignore it."
Huang Li looked at Mu Yunyin suspiciously, and did not speak again.
When Huang Li fell asleep, Mu Yunyin took out the letter from his sleeve again, and tears couldn't help but flow down.
"Qiu Tong, what did they do to you?"
The letter told Mu Yunyin that Qiu Tong had fallen into their hands and was trapped on a ship, and if he wanted to save Qiu Tong, he needed Mu Yunyin to ransom people with five hundred taels of gold and go alone.
Although the letter did not say Qiu Tong's name, a portrait of Qiu Tong was attached to the letter, and Mu Yunyin looked at Qiu Tong's portrait and couldn't cry.
"Qiu Tong, I will come to save you."
