Time rewinds to the early morning when Zhou Qingfeng left Ehekulun. After ten days of short training, his more than 200 slaves were able to reluctantly line up and leave quietly. In the past ten days, Zhou Qingfeng himself secretly rode a puppet goat to run through some of the key routes of the operation. No, he was not at ease at all.

After leaving Ekhkulen, the queue was moving quickly and in good order. All personnel are basically lightly loaded, and the larger loads are transported by more than 20 trolleys.

The wheelbarrows on the rugged mountain roads are not fast, but as long as these simple transport equipment and logistics supplies are followed, the speed of the team's long march can be doubled, and the distance can be increased by two or three times.

However, after leaving Ekhkulun for about ten miles, Zhou Qingfeng suddenly ordered everyone to stop and rest on the side of the road. All the slaves didn't know why, because Zhou Qingfeng had been urging him to demand speed in his previous training, and he would never stop easily.

After waiting for half an hour, Old Man Sun hurried over on a horse. When he stopped in front of Zhou Qingfeng, he gasped and laughed: "You kid is really bold, it's strange that Wucha doesn't hate you to death this time." He had never been teased like this. ”

Zhou Qingfeng snorted coldly: "I didn't know how to find a chance to escape, those guys have nothing to do and send me a chance." Since they want to pull me to the north to pit me, don't blame me for plucking them to the west. ”

Wu Cha knew that Old Man Sun had a good relationship with Zhou Qingfeng, and when he set up a set for Zhou Qingfeng, he deliberately sent his old housekeeper to the north. But when Old Man Sun heard some rumors, he was worried that Zhou Qingfeng would be fooled, and he ventured back the day before yesterday to warn. Fortunately, Abahai had already given Zhou Qingfeng a wake-up call and gave him ten days to prepare, otherwise Zhou Qingfeng could only leave alone now.

However, Old Man Sun's sneaking back also has a great benefit to Zhou Qingfeng, that is, as a living map to provide Zhou Qingfeng with reference. He didn't dare to show up in public after stealing back Ehekulun, and he had to wait until Zhou Qingfeng left before hurriedly following him.

"It's good to leave Ekhkulun, I have been a slave to these Jurchen barbarians for more than thirty years, and I feel really comfortable today." Old Man Sun's smiling old face flushed, but he said worriedly: "I just don't know if I can avoid Ucha's pursuit?" This Jurchen is really good at crossing forests and streams, hunting and tracking, and it is not easy to avoid them. ”

Old Man Sun returned to the team, and Zhou Qingfeng ordered the team to continue to set off. He rode on a puppet goat to keep track of his progress, controlling the speed of his team and trying to go as far as he could in the most physically efficient way.

Zhou Qingfeng's solution to Old Man Sun's worries was to leave the main road after leaving Ekhkulun for about 20 miles, and more than 200 people appeared next to a river after crossing a low mountain. It took a day to climb over the mountains, and when Wucha and Chu Ying pursued the next day, Zhou Qingfeng actually didn't go far at all.

In the woods of the river, more than a hundred slaves who had been logging all night were sleeping and resting, and the other half of the slaves who had rested all night were busy tying up rafts. Everything is going according to plan.

Zhou Qingfeng didn't sleep all night, he stood by the river and stared at the working slaves. A small group of his closest slaves served as overseers around the river, ensuring that the work ran smoothly and that no one escaped. In the surrounding mountains, Onishu Jia Gang would patrol every hour to make sure he was not discovered.

Zhou Qingfeng has a mechanical watch on his wrist, and he uses this watch to accurately grasp the time. It was now nine o'clock in the morning, and the slaves in charge of logistics took out the cooked food that had been prepared in advance, and the slaves who had worked all night also slept for three hours, and they were all called up for breakfast.

Mao Ah Da is a slave who is tired all night. He was a carpenter, and he was indispensable as long as he was a carpenter. Last night, he was up to him to choose the right wood, and the tools were always damaged in use, and he needed to repair axes, saws, and even arrange for people to tie up the rafts.

It's just that Mao Ada is very reluctant, and he has wanted to escape since he left Ekhkulun. It's just that he is an important craftsman, and he is considered a backward element, and when he goes to the toilet to pee, he is watched by someone, and there are people around him all the time. After a tired night, Mao Ada, who had just slept for three hours, was called up again, swearing in his mouth, and went to get breakfast step by step.

Breakfast was fish, wild fruit and bread.

The flour cake is a good thing, it is enough calories and hungry, and it was obtained by Zhou Qingfeng with the help of Old Man Sun. In order to let his subordinates have the physical strength to work and escape, Zhou Qingfeng gave up a lot of money.

The appearance of the dough cake surprised Mao A, he hadn't eaten this thing a few times, and the last time he ate this kind of refined grain was also eaten at the ferry in Hetuara by Zhou Qingfeng's light. That is, on that day, he made up his mind to abandon his wife.

The slaves were glad to eat the bread, and they received the news that they were going to cut down wood and make rafts along the river to attack the Jianzhou Department. It was impossible for Zhou Qingfeng to mobilize them with such a lofty reason, and he also used looting as an excuse to boost morale, and promised that all slaves would be free after the war, and half of the spoils of war would go to the slaves.

Given Zhou Qingfeng's consistently good reputation, what he said won the great trust of the slaves. Freedom was extremely precious to the slaves, and the distribution of the spoils of war made them rejoice in the minds of these slaves, which was equivalent to the master allowing them to carry out a few days of unsealed looting after breaking the village.

For the slave who could eat the bread in laughter, the gloomy Mao Ada, couldn't help but curse in his heart: "A bunch of fools, Zhou Xiaozi is obviously going to deceive you to die." I don't believe that he would be kind enough to free his minions from slavery. I don't know what you have to be happy about. ”

After breakfast, all the slaves began to tie up the raft. Due to the fear of leakage, Zhou Qingfeng did not train this work in advance, and only asked a small number of slave backbones to prepare a large number of ropes for binding. Making the raft strong and light is also a technical task, and fortunately there are many Jurchens who can do this, and the speed of bundling is quite fast.

A dozen slaves jumped on a raft to test its performance after it had been tied, and after making sure that the raft would not fall apart, they cheered and pushed a cart onto the raft to secure it. Zhou Qingfeng looked at the time, it was now nine and fifteen, and the sun had already illuminated the river where they were hiding.

Compared with Zhou Qingfeng, who has been calmly pinching time, Jia Gang, who is in charge of patrolling around, is not calm at all. This ghost cultivator's courage is really not very big, after he followed Zhou Qingfeng to meet the Jurchen nobles such as Wucha and Chu Ying, he was very optimistic about Zhou Qingfeng's escape plan, not to mention Chu Ying, any Baylor around Wucha could defeat him and join forces with Zhou Qingfeng.

Jia Gang turned into a cloud of black smoke and appeared in the woods behind Zhou Qingfeng, and said in a deep voice: "Zhou boy, Ehekulun's people have chased it out. Their cavalry had just run over the mountain road next to us. Sooner or later, they will find out that we are not following the main road, and they will certainly keep an eye out for the waterways on both sides of the road. ”

"There are many rivers here, and even if all the Kulen people are dispatched, there are only more than 10,000 people. They only have about 1,000 soldiers, and it would be good if they could send 500 troops to us without those who were left to defend the city. According to my estimate, they will not be able to send more than 300 people to find us at first, and the probability of finding us is less than 5%. ”

Jia Gang didn't understand what five percent, he shouted angrily: "Ordinary soldiers can't find us, can't Chu Ying find us either?" That big Baylor is so terrible that we can't beat anyone else together. ”

Chu Ying is really strong, and Zhou Qingfeng does not deny it. He only asked, "Did you see Chu Ying chasing him out?" ”

"A master of Chu Ying's level can sense his gaze, and when I heard the sound of horses' hooves, I immediately shrank up and didn't dare to raise my head. But I could feel a very strong guy rushing down the road with a lot of people, and we couldn't handle it anyway. Jia Gang said with a palpitating look, as if he had seen a ghost ......, although he himself was a ghost.

"There are always risks to be taken, and all I can do is try to reduce the risk as much as possible." Zhou Qingfeng looked at the time again, and just as he was talking to Jia Gang, two more rafts were launched, and the slaves checked them according to the process. "In an hour we will get fifty rafts, so that more than two hundred of us can leave quickly. It won't be so easy for Chu Ying to find us. ”

"What if Chu Ying walks in front of us?" Jia Gang asked rhetorically: "You fed those slaves to their heart's content, but the result was that the food and drink you brought couldn't last even three days, and you had to break a village to grab food." As long as Chu Ying is not too stupid, he will definitely be waiting for us somewhere. We can choose Liuhe Village, and so can Chu Ying. ”

"It's not impossible, but I can only gamble." Zhou Qingfeng felt that he still had to be lenient with the enemy, and he couldn't treat the enemy as a fool. Liuhe Village is the place he must pass on his way to escape, as long as he blocks that village, he can really only run headlong.

"Or you and I can escape." Jia Gang persuaded.

"You want me to go back to Fushun empty-handed?" Zhou Qingfeng asked rhetorically.

"At most, a few of your cronies."

"There are more than 60 cronies I want to take with me, and in order to protect this group, I have to choose nearly 100 soldiers. And in order to take care of these people, I have to add more than a hundred slaves who do odd jobs. This is already the leanest manpower, and it can't be less. ”

"What are you doing with so many cronies? It's a big deal to go back to Fushun and recruit again. ”

"Do you think it's easy to raise a group of cronies? At present, these more than 60 people are all coincidental, and the environment is forced to slowly follow me. If you go to Fushun or somewhere else, you may not be able to gather so many people. ”

For people in modern society, they instinctively don't like to go it alone. Even the most withdrawn people will need all kinds of social services. Zhou Qingfeng spent some time in Fushun and Hetuala, but he was unable to assemble a team.

If he didn't have his own team, Zhou Qingfeng would have to join someone else's team, and he was fed up with the unfortunate life of having to bow his head under the fence. Regarding Jia Gang's persuasion, he only said one last sentence: "Don't say more." I've kept this group of people as much as I can, and this group of people will be able to keep me in the future, and I won't leave them behind easily. ”
