When Chen Zhuo took Qingzhi all the way east from the south road, Lu Shikang and Wu Shu were still looking for Qingzhi in the nearby village before, and they were at a stalemate because they had no clue to find someone.

And because the soldiers had been searching all night and were exhausted, they had to rest for an hour in the surrounding woods.

The soldiers who His Royal Highness the Crown Prince came to inquire about the situation have come three times from last night to today, and each time they were taken away, it was news that Dr. Kong had not found.

At noon on the second day, when Wu Shu was searching in a village, he suddenly saw a large number of cavalry rushing towards him.

Look at the white tasseled helmet on the head, it is a forbidden soldier.

At a glance, there are at least a few thousand people.

He understood that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince must have seen that Dr. Kong had not been found overnight, so he sent additional manpower over.

With more manpower, things can be easily done, and they can be searched in various villages and towns within a few dozen miles of the vicinity.

When the cavalrymen approached, Wu Shu asked the soldiers who led the team how many people had come, and the soldiers who led the team told him that there were 3,000 in total.

So Lu Shikang and Wu Shu divided the three thousand people into groups of ten to form a collection team, and each collection team had a specific place to go.

With the addition of the original fifty people, they were also regrouped into groups of ten people, and the total number of search teams was three hundred and five.

After the distribution was completed, the three hundred and five search teams set out to search.

.

At the same time, Lu Yuanqing was also looking for Qingzhi's whereabouts with Wu Shan and Yu Qishu.

Along the way, Lu Yuanqing kept blaming herself: "It's all my fault." I was too careless, I hurt Dr. Kong. ”

Because she hadn't slept all night, there was a dark blue under her eyes, which was very conspicuous.

Wu Shan and Yu Qishu are the same, with dark green under their eyes.

Sometimes while walking, Lu Yuanqing will also blame Wu Shan: "You are really, you can clearly see that he has a problem, why didn't you tell me earlier?" ”

At such a time, Wu Shan did not defend himself, but blamed himself: "I was also careless, who would have thought that someone who didn't seem to have a bad heart could be so bad!" ”

"You don't understand that people can't be disguised?"

Yu Qishu didn't get much involved in their conversation.

More often than not, he was silent.

Although he hasn't been with Qingzhi for a long time, he will be extremely sad if she has an accident.

Maybe it's because Qingzhi is the master's daughter, and if Qingzhi has an accident, the master will definitely be in pain. Maybe it's because Qingzhi is very empathetic, knowing the purpose of the master letting her come, she never shows any unhappiness to herself when she has no intention of her.

And there are other reasons that he doesn't want to pursue.

All kinds of reasons added up, which made him feel very heavy, and he didn't want to say a word.

.

When Chen Zhuo took Qingzhi all the way east, Qingzhi hoped that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's soldiers would find her as soon as possible, but by the evening of this day, she knew that there was no hope for this day.

At this pace, we may be able to reach Hanshan tomorrow.

After all, riding a horse is much faster than the army of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.

Moreover, she found that Chen Zhuo was very smart, he would let himself change his clothes from time to time, and he would change his clothes himself. Not only do you change your clothes, but you also wear different hats. In this way, he escaped the search of His Royal Highness the Prince's soldiers.

Always changing clothes and hats, the soldiers of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will not be able to detect accurate information. Because if you want to find someone, you have to say what you are dressed and what you look like.

And because the appearance of the matter cannot be explained specifically, it is more convenient to find people from clothing.

So, she now thinks that if she wants to escape from him, it seems that she has to rely on herself. Because judging from the current situation where he and himself frequently change clothes, it is almost impossible for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince to have clues to find him.

So far, she has changed her clothes five times.

The place where the clothes were changed was nothing more than in the houses of some villagers. In some villages, there was no house with the courtyard door open, so he let himself climb over the wall with him, and if the door of the other party's house was locked, he would break the window and let himself enter with him.

Fortunately, I lost a lot of time because of the change of clothes, and the speed could be a little slower.

In the evening, he took her to a village.

There are only about a dozen households in this village.

The whole village was quiet, and at such an evening time, there was no smoke rising from a single courtyard, which seemed to indicate that all the people in the village had fled to other parts of Dali.

After all, no one wants to survive close to the battlefield, not to mention whether it will be affected into the war, even if the two sides expand their forces at that time, the people close to the battlefield are also the most likely to be forcibly dragged into the army.

Just when Aoeda thought that there was no one in the village, she suddenly heard a moan.

An old moan.

At this time, she was still on horseback with Chen Zhuo, and Chen Zhuo was planning to dismount first and then get her off the horse.

After hearing the moaning, she said to Chen Zhuo, who was sitting in front of her, "There are people in this village. ”

"What do you have to do with us?"

"The man was moaning, it should be an old man."

"It has nothing to do with us, you don't plan to let an old man save you, do you?"

"No, it's me trying to save him. Didn't you hear him moan? ”

Chen Zhuo frowned. At times like this, he thinks the fewer people they see, the better.

Even if he sees more than one person, he thinks there is a risk of exposing himself.

Qingzhi knew his concerns, and said, "I know what you're worried about, don't worry, even if there are people here, there won't be many people, and there are just old, weak, sick and disabled people who can't leave." No one can help save me from your hands. I won't run away either, because you're so strong, I can't run away at all. ”

Seeing that he still didn't respond, she said: "It's important to save people now." I believe you are not inherently bad. ”

"I'm just a bad person." He said.

"No, you're not. The reason why you hate me is because you have many brothers who have been with you for many years have died on the battlefield, and you think it is my fault. You took revenge on me because of your affection. It's just that you're taking revenge on the wrong person. ”

"Hmph, don't talk nonsense, I won't let you go just because you say this."

"I didn't let you let me go, I just asked you to agree to let me save people. One may be an old man in his last years. Maybe if I don't save him today, he won't have anyone to save him. There may not be a doctor at all in this area at the moment. ”

Seeing that he didn't speak, she knew that his heart was loose.

So she said, "Ride your horse to a place where there is a moan." ”

He hesitantly parked his horse on the village road, and after a while, he did as she said.

The further west the horses walked on the village road, the clearer the moaning became.

When the horses came to the gate of the courtyard where there was a moaning sound, Qingzhi dismounted.

Chen Zhuo also dismounted after that.

"You release the rope from my hand first. Otherwise, we will be questioned by him if we go in like this. I can't run away from you anyway. ”

He let go of the rope from her hand.
