"Thank you, little brother, for your reply." The questioning soldier turned his horse's head around and turned to the other nine soldiers behind him, "Let's search over here, they came here to buy medicine in the evening, it sounds like they came to buy medicine for an old man's medical treatment, so they should be in this area." Maybe it's even in the old man's house. ”

The other soldiers also turned their horses around and rode south.

When they searched the surrounding villages, they found the old man's village an hour later.

After they knocked on the old man's courtyard door, the first sentence of the question, the old man understood that the people they were looking for were the two good Samaritans he had met this evening.

Because the soldier who asked was: "Old man, are you sick and happened to meet a kind doctor to help you see a doctor?" ”

The old man glanced at the clothes of His Royal Highness the Prince's soldiers, and muttered in his heart, could it be that the well-wishers he met were the prisoners pursued by the government?

So, he kept an eye on it and asked, "Why, are you here to find the prisoner?" ”

"Looking for a prisoner? No. No, too. "It's Dr. Kong and the person who held him hostage, so one is not a prisoner, the other is.

"Official, I don't understand what you said, what is called no, no."

"I mean one of them is a prisoner, and the other is a doctor, and that doctor is the person we want to save."

"That doctor is the person you want to save?" The old man asked suspiciously.

None of those two people seem to be bad people, why is one of them a prisoner and the other to be saved?

He didn't see anything unusual about the two men at all.

"Yes, you should be the patient, right?" The soldier felt that the old man's questions and answers were different from the others, and the other old men did not ask questions, but said that they had not seen the two men they described, but the old man first asked them if they were looking for prisoners.

And just now he also said the question "That doctor is the person you want to save", which shows that he knows the two of them.

The old man replied: "Yes, I am the patient, I was rescued by a good-hearted doctor, why, this doctor is in danger?" ”

He remembered now that the man with the doctor was a little eccentric, that he did not want to eat a meal at his house anyway, that he had to leave, and that he had a very irritated expression when he had come back from town.

"Yes, are they with you?" The soldier asked.

"No, they're gone."

"Do you know where they went?"

The old man replied to the soldier, "I don't know. ”

The soldiers regretfully left the old man's place, and the trail was cut off.

But fortunately, they knew that at least there was no accident at the moment, and this news was also good news, and they had to send this news to Lu Gongzi and Wu Shu immediately, so as not to make them anxious.

Therefore, one of them went to Qishan Town, where Lu Gongzi and Wu Shu were located, to report the news that he had heard this evening.

.

Qishan Town.

At this time, the night was dark, and in an inn on the west side of a north-south alley, Lu Shikang and Wu Shuzheng were relatively silent in a simple guest room on the second floor.

Wu Shu found that from yesterday to today, Lu Gongzi was very silent. He waited almost all the time for news from the various groups of soldiers, and each time the news made his brow furrow.

Every time the soldiers left, he fell silent again.

Therefore, he usually did not dare to disturb his silence.

He himself was worried about Dr. Kong, but at least he wasn't worried to the point where he didn't want to eat tea.

He was worried about him, but he could still sleep, and he had slept in the inn for three hours at noon, because he had not slept all night before, and his head was dizzy from sleepiness.

But Lu Gongzi didn't sleep last night, he didn't sleep all day today, and now the night is dark, and he still has no sleep.

Because of this, he looked much haggard.

When the two were looking at each other without saying a word, a footstep hurried by.

Before the person arrived, the voice arrived first, "Master Lu, Brother Wu, there is news!" ”

Wu Shu saw Lu Shikang stand up suddenly, so he also stood up, looking at the soldiers who hurriedly entered, "Doctor Kong has news?" ”

The soldier stood still, panting and said, "Yes, at the moment, at least he is safe!" ”

Wu Shu said: "Come and listen." ”

The soldier described to Lu Shikang and Wu Shu the news he had heard in a certain town an hour earlier and the news he had found in the old man's house.

Wu Shu found that after the soldier who came to report the news left, Lu Shikang's brows finally relaxed a little.

But only a little stretched.

.

The next morning, when Qingzhi got up, she was already hungry and growling. After climbing over the courtyard wall with Chen Zhuo, Qingzhi looked at the horse that had been tied to the tree outside the courtyard wall overnight, and said to Chen Zhuo: "There is something wrong with this horse. ”

Chen Zhuo asked, "What's wrong?" ”

Qingzhi approached the horse and said, "The horse's eyes are a little blank, it must have been frozen outside here last night." As she spoke, she touched the horse's back, "This horse has a cold." ”

Naturally, the horse did not suffer from the cold, but she said this deliberately so that she could get close to the horse's head and rope.

Her purpose was to let the horse go. If the horse doesn't let go, today he will inevitably reach the cold mountain where Zhou Jing is located.

Once he is sent to Hanshan, he will inevitably be more than lucky.

You don't have to think about it to know how hateful Zhou Jing and her soldiers will be to herself.

He has healed Chen Zhuo, which is considered to be a favor to him, but he still doesn't want to let go of himself because of the death of his brothers, how can those who have not received any favor from him easily let go of themselves?

They must have nothing but hatred for themselves.

So, today she has to find a way to save herself no matter what.

Chen Zhuo didn't want to pay attention to what she just said, but said, "The horse suffers from the cold? What is your basis? ”

"When a horse is exposed to the cold, its hair will lose its color, and you see, the horse's hair becomes less shiny. Also, horses that have been exposed to the cold wind will shiver in the cold wind. ”

"Shivering?"

"Yes, believe it or not. And the trembling horse can't run fast. Looks like we're going to have to change horses. ”

"Hmph, don't think I'm not aware of your plan, don't you just want me to slow down? Isn't it normal for horses to shiver on a cold day? ”

"You'd be wrong, Mabi people are frost-resistant. If you don't believe it, let it run and try it, if it can run fast, I will lose. ”

"You don't come to this set, don't you just want to escape?"

"I've long since given up on running away, and besides, even if I walk slowly, I can't get there?"

"Stop talking nonsense and go."

"If you don't believe it, try it, after we get on the horse, the horse will definitely jump and jump."

"Of course I don't believe it. Launched! ”

As he spoke, he got her on the horse, and then got on the horse himself.

After a few steps of the horse, Aoeda stretched her hands back with the rope, and when she touched the horse's tail, she pulled it hard.

The horse was frightened and suddenly jumped forward.

"You see, as I said earlier, this horse is not fit to carry people because of the wind and cold today, and we will not be able to travel like this. Had to change horses. ”

"Dismount!" Chen Zhuo said angrily.

If you want to find a horse in this chaotic world, it is not easy to say, you can only let her heal the horse and then travel.

Qingzhi laughed inwardly, he actually fell for the trick.
