Chapter 63: Someone Found
Lu Chengyan and the others went out of the city smoothly and went straight to Wuyang Town.
On the way, Lu Chengyan explained carefully to Cheng Li'an, and Cheng Li'an knew what to do when he went out of the city, and immediately pinched the horse's belly and sped up his speed.
The three of them did not rest all the way, until the horse really had no strength to run, and they did not see the figure of the man. In desperation, Lu Chengyan and the other three could only choose to sit down and rest for a while, after all, the horse was no longer good, and if they were forced to run again, they would not be able to catch up with them.
Yao Yan led the horse to the neighborhood to eat some grass, drink some water, and rest.
Cheng Li'an patted Lu Chengyan's shoulder and comforted: "It's okay, we will definitely be able to catch up." Since the legs and feet are not good, the horse is not good, and they can only ride a donkey, even if they walk early, they have to rest. "According to the current distance, it should be possible to catch up in Wuyang Town.
Lu Chengyan knew that he was too anxious, but when he thought of being tortured in prison, he couldn't help it.
After Yao Yan came back, the three of them rested temporarily against the trunk of the tree for a while, and after the horse rested, they hurried again.
Wuyang Town.
It is a small town about 300 miles from Kyoto, and although the population of the town is small, it should be well equipped, and it is mainly used as an intermediary point, whether you are going to or leaving Kyoto, you can take a break here.
Early in the morning, Han Ping came down from the upstairs refreshed, his right foot was limping, and the people around him looked at him twice and then withdrew his gaze. Han Ping snorted coldly, directly called Xiao Er, and shouted loudly for a bowl of beef soup and two cakes, and he was about to go on his way after eating.
Xiao Er was ready to eat, and Han Ping immediately started eating cakes with soup.
At this moment, Han Ping suddenly noticed that someone seemed to be observing him, and he immediately stopped his movements and looked around. Although he has not been a thief for many years, this bit of eyesight is engraved in his bones, and if it weren't for that carelessness in drinking, he wouldn't have been so miserable. That ill-intentioned gaze just now was directed at him!
Han Ping grabbed the package, quickly solved the cake in three or two bites, and after paying the money, he threw two copper plates to the little boy and asked, "Which way is better to go to Linghe Town?" ”
Xiao'er immediately said: "Take the official road, the official road is smooth and easy to walk." Although the trail is close, the road there is not easy to walk, and the broken wooden bridge was washed away by the water some time ago, and it can't be crossed......"
The conversation between the two did not deliberately avoid people, and it was estimated that everyone in the hall heard a lot of things, and some people even asked about the broken bridge.
Han Ping carried the package and went out to the horse dealer, yesterday the donkey was handed over to them to take care of, and today he was on the road when he was full of food and drink.
I can't go on the main road, so I take the small road instead.
After Han Ping gave the horse dealer money, he immediately drove the donkey directly onto the avenue, and after making a little detour, he walked to the path, and ran through the knee-high weeds all the way to the woods. In fact, in addition to the broken bridge, there is another road, although it is a little farther away, but it is better to avoid it for the sake of safety.
After doing this business, he knew that there must be trouble, but this money could give him a new life, and the blacksmith's life was too hard to be done by people at all.
At this time, a breeze blew, Han Ping grabbed the donkey violently and fell to the side, a sharp arrow suddenly shot, and a sound of breaking the air sounded, directly piercing the trunk of the tree just now, and directly submerged into it.
"Who!" Han Ping roared angrily.
The man didn't reply, and there was no shadow around, only the crazy weeds swaying in the wind, rubbing against Han Ping's lame leg, bringing a rustling sound.
It's not terrible for someone to kill him, he's been a thief for a long time, and it's normal for him to be remembered. But what he was afraid of was that he didn't know whose hands he died, and he couldn't even see a figure until now.
"Crazy!" Han Ping gritted his teeth, simply pulled up the donkey and ran out, running onto the official road.
-
Lu Chengyan and the others hurried slowly, and finally arrived in Wuyang Town after dawn.
Yao Yan led the horses to the horse dealer's side to rest, and Lu Chengyan and Cheng Li'an Bing began to ask questions with portraits in two ways.
Finally, in an inn, after Lu Chengyan took out the portrait, Xiao Er immediately said: "I remember this guest officer." Lu Chengyan immediately said: "His feet are a little bad, we let him stay, if I have a bite to eat, there must be a bite of him." But this man is like a donkey, too stubborn, and he has to go back to his hometown. After that, Lu Chengyan sighed decently.
Xiao Er immediately said: "Yes, yes, yes, there is something wrong with my feet, and I just left in front of me." ”
Lu Chengyan immediately asked, "Where are you going?" I'm going to have to bring him back. ”
"The guest officer said that he was going to Linghe Town, but now the trail is not easy to walk, and the water has broken the bridge, so I let the guest officer take the official road." Xiao Er said immediately.
Lu Chengyan immediately gave Xiao Er a hanging money and said, "Thank you." ”
Xiao Er looked at the money, and suddenly smiled and said: "This son, the guest officer is riding a donkey, you go to the horse dealer to ask for a horse to come over quickly, I wish you a speedy reunion." ”
Lu Chengyan clenched his fists and said, "Of course." At that moment, he immediately walked out of the inn, and happened to meet Cheng Li'an, who was still asking, and immediately shouted: "Li'an, go to the horse dealer, and the person has found it." ”
The two of them rushed to the horse dealer together, and before they were halfway there, they saw Yao Yan coming with two new horses.
Lu Chengyan and Cheng Li'an chased directly on horseback.
There were only these two horses in the stable that could run, and Yao Yan didn't have a horse, so he rubbed an old man's ox cart, and after giving the money, the old man threw his whip and ran all the way.
After walking for about half an hour, Lu Chengyan stopped, frowned and said, "That little second said that he had only been walking for a while, why didn't he see a shadow?" ”
"Is it a trail?" Cheng Li'an said immediately.
"The trail bridge is broken, unless...... There are other ways. Lu Chengyan frowned, took the horse's belly and changed directions, and ran directly into the woods, and Cheng Li'an immediately followed.
In the woods, Han Ping was lame and dodged left and right, his body was full of injuries, the donkey had already fallen, and he was lame and couldn't walk fast at all.
"Bastard, you actually play the trick of unloading the mill and killing the donkey." Han Ping gritted his teeth, and after looking around, he found that he had actually arrived at the broken bridge, there was flowing water under the broken bridge, and it was estimated that there would be a glimmer of life if he jumped into the water. After thinking about it, Han Ping slowly moved up that side with the help of the weeds, and after finding that there was no peeping eyes, he ran desperately to the broken bridge.
At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly shot from behind, fast and ruthless!
Han Ping watched the sharp arrow get closer and closer, but there was nowhere to hide, and just as he was about to grit his teeth and close his eyes to die, another voice sounded, and the sharp arrow was forcibly changed direction.
"Master, here, I found it!" Yao Yan shouted excitedly.
