An hour later, Chengxin and the others had already rested, and Xu Dong, who had been sobbing silently on the side, suddenly panicked a little when he saw Xiangxin and the others walking towards him, and said while lying backwards: "What are you going to do, I have a good reputation, and it won't do you any good to kill me!" ”

As if they hadn't heard Xu Dong's words, Chengxin looked at him indifferently and said, "What did you think when you assassinated the important ministers of the imperial court?" Do you know that we are famous for killing you! ”

Xu Dong was frightened by the fierce appearance of Chengxin, looked at Xiangxin and knelt down and kowtowed: "I was wrong, I just drank too much yesterday, please let me go!" ”

Xiangxin shook his finger, pointed to the tip of Xu Dong's nose and said, "I have a question, we set off early this morning, how could we still be encountered by you?" We rode the horse very quickly in the morning! Did you leave yesterday? ”

Xu Dong didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly replied: "I knew that things were not good after I was driven away in front of your house yesterday, and I sold all my things at the first time to scrape together enough money to buy a horse, but yesterday I was too tired and I rested in the inn for a night, and as soon as I woke up this morning, I heard that some officers and soldiers came to the inn to look for me, so I ran through the back door!" ”

Listening to Xu Dong's experience, he scratched his head, and his eyes became more and more unkind, "So what?" You can catch up with us in the morning, do you mean that your horse is faster? ”

Xu Dong also thought of his answer, looked at the unkind eyes and hurriedly said: "No, no, I traveled with my father in the early years, and I have been to Chang'an City no less than four or five times, I am very familiar with this mountain forest, my father is a very kind person, but now he is gone, I miss him very much, if he is there, he will not see me being bullied, and my mother also passed away a few years ago, I missed the last imperial examination in order to keep filial piety for her old man, this year is my biggest expectation, But I didn't expect to do something wrong! ”

Listening to Xu Dong's chatter, I only felt that my head was about to explode, this person was lively but his thinking was too jumpy, and he talked about other places as he spoke.

Chengxin interrupted Xu Dong's words, and said a little unhappily: "How did you still catch up with us after two or three hours?" ”

Xu Dong knew that he was off topic again, and at this time he remembered his off-topic in the imperial examination again, and looked at him with some frustration and said: "There is a path here, so naturally you can come over quickly!" ”

Chengxin was also stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xie Ziwen with some surprise, "Xiaolu? Didn't you say there weren't many trails around here for horses? ”

Xie Ziwen wanted to explain something, but at this time, Xu Dong was in front of him, and it was useless to say anything, so he had to shake his head and say, "There may be some path I don't know!" ”

Xu Dong saw that the chance to survive came, and he immediately came to his side and said: "I know a lot of small roads, these roads are impossible to know if they are not locals, I will lead the way for you, will you leave me with my life!" ”

Xiangxin didn't want to embarrass Xu Dong, but at this time, I was also a little moved to hear him say this, can more than a dozen of them be fiddled with by this Xu Dong? Seeing that Xie Ziwen also nodded, he nodded and said, "Are you going home?" Where is your home? Wouldn't it be inconvenient to walk with us! ”

Xu Dong was a little happy when he heard this, but his expression became a little sad, and he said with some emotion: "I don't have a home, I came to Beijing to take the exam this time with the mentality of breaking the kettle, I thought that I would have the opportunity to get the favor of King Wei and have a chance to be named on the gold list, but I didn't expect to finish the question because of my mistake, it's a pity······"

Looking at Xu Dong, who was talking endlessly, he said helplessly: "Let me ask where your home is?" Is it convenient to walk with us? ”

Xu Dong was also shocked when he heard the words that were a little impatient, at this time he didn't dare to offend people anymore, and hurriedly replied: "My ancestral house and fields have been sold by me, and I don't know where to go at this time, there is nothing convenient or inconvenient, you can go anywhere!" ”

Xiangxin is also considering the arrangement of Xu Dong at this time, this person is active but seems to have no scheming, and it will be a great help to understand the terrain very well, at this time, if he is asked to return to Chang'an, he is afraid that he will not believe it, it is better to take him to lead the way, and he can also see his talent along the way.

Thinking of this, he patted Xu Dong on the shoulder and said, "Then you can follow me, this time if you can help me save time on the road, save a day, I will give you ten taels of silver!" ”

Xu Dong's eyes couldn't stop shining when he heard the words of Satisfactory Heart, and he didn't feel so annoyed when he looked at Satisfactory face, and said flatteringly and satisfyingly: "I don't know where the destination of your next stop is?" How long will it take? ”

Looking at Xu Dong, whose face was ruddy, he thought that silver would work, and when he heard his question, he thought for a while before he said slowly: "The next destination is Runzhou, as for the time!" ”

Satisfying said this, he hurriedly looked at Xie Ziwen on the side, Xie Ziwen comprehended: "Five days, our group can get there in five days on horseback!" ”

Xu Dong's eyes were stunned when he heard this, he touched a few whiskers on his lower hand, and thought for a long time before saying: "Come with me, I will guarantee that the adults will be able to see Runzhou City in four days!" ”

Satisfied, when he told Xie Ziwen before, he said that it would take at least seven days for him and others to go to Runzhou, and if he took the carriage for ten days, he might not be able to arrive, at this time, he heard that Xu Dong actually dared to say four days, which would shorten the whole journey by half, and said a little happily: "Okay, you lead the way in front, and we will follow behind!" ”

Xu Dong was also a lot more relaxed when he heard this, and hurriedly rushed to his horse to take care of it, and after being captured before, the members of the tenth team also fed Xu Dong's horse, and at this time he just went to his horse to find a sense of security!

After packing their bags, the group embarked on the journey again, the difference was that this time they were satisfied with riding a horse alone, and the reins of the horse were separated into a section and led by Xie Ziwen. Fortunately, Xu Dong didn't need to hurry up on the path he walked, and he was a little bored, looking at Xu Dong on the side: "Look at our brothers, everyone is holding a lot of things in big bags and small bags, why don't you have any packages at all, and we don't have extra rations for you if you don't have anything to eat!" ”

Xu Dong only felt tears streaming down his face when he heard this, he was fortunate to have sold the package and bought the horse in advance, and he was caught after going out for half a day, and he had to say helplessly when he heard this heart-piercing question: "I came out too quickly, I didn't have time to clean up, otherwise I wouldn't have been caught by you for begging for saliva to drink, as for the rations, I helped the adults save a day's time, and the rations for more than a dozen of you are naturally enough for me to eat for four days, and the adults will not be reluctant!" ”

nodded heartily, and said with some sighs: "Naturally, I won't be reluctant, why are you running, you must know that the imperial examination list has not been posted yet, and some officers and soldiers go to the inn to look for you, maybe something good will come to the door!" ”

Xu Dong naturally refused to believe it when he heard this, and said with a flattering smile: "What the adults said is true, but the grass people still think that the days of retreating to the countryside will be more suitable for me!" ”

After a while, he asked again: "How can you go into hiding after your property has been sold?" I don't think you're worth as much as this horse! ”

Xu Dong only felt that ten thousand arrows pierced his heart, and he looked at the direction of his heart and said helplessly: "What the adults said is right, I better go to the front to lead the way, I am afraid that they will go wrong after a few detours!" ”

Saying that, Xu Dong walked forward with his horse in his hand, and he still wanted to tease this Han Han more, but his heart was not good, if he really told him that he could be ranked in the court with his miscellaneous studies, he might swallow dung and die on the spot.

I don't know how Xu Dong found this path, many of which can't see that it is a road, if you pass by in the summer, many people don't dare to walk, but Xu Dong seems to have walked many times, very confident in front of the road, and after a short period of familiarity with everyone, Xu Dong broke out of his verbose attributes, in front of the endless talk, mentioning this road to think of someone, thinking of his hometown and thinking of a certain food, and lamented that he didn't even have a daughter-in-law after his friend already had, and cried and laughed, It's really like a psychopath!
