Chapter 31 It is difficult to walk without seeing the rivers and lakes
She was rescued by Zhang Hanruo and Xue Hongxian that day, thinking that it was extremely dangerous to be chased by An Qingxu, but fortunately An Qingxu did not lead his troops out of the city for some reason.
Zhang Hanruo and his entourage rushed westward for more than 100 miles, stopping to camp and rest. By the evening, Shen Zhu's drug effect gradually dissolved, and he woke up from the chaos, as if he had a bizarre dream.
Zhang Hanruo was very remorseful and ashamed, and tearfully pleaded with her guilt, she learned of the cause and effect, but she had pity for Zhang Hanruo, and strongly persuaded Zhang Hanruo to lead his troops to defect to the Tang Army.
Zhang Hanruo said: "My Zhang family used to be anti-Tang, today is anti-Yan, and now I go to the Tang Dynasty, and it is impermanent, nothing more than this." I'd rather be a coward than do such a thing!" "Zhang Hanruo has never regretted what he decides, and Shen Pearl can't persuade him anymore.
At dusk, the setting sun dyes the mountains and streams golden. The slightest chill seeped into Shen Pearl's limbs. She leaned against a tree, couldn't help but shrink back, stroked her cheek, and even her hands were so cold that she didn't feel anything on her face. This place is very hidden and not easy to be discovered by others, but you can clearly see the tracks of cars, horses and people on the road.
She was waiting, waiting for Xue Hongxian.
She was rescued by Zhang Hanruo and Xue Hongxian that day, thinking that it was extremely dangerous to be chased by An Qingxu, but fortunately An Qingxu did not lead his troops out of the city for some reason.

If Zhang Han knew what Shen Pearl was thinking, he was willing to send a few soldiers to escort Shen Pearl to Lingwu to meet Li Jiao. It just so happened that Xue Hong was going to go back to the mountain to meet the master immediately, and her way back to the mountain was the same as Shen Zhu's Lingwu trip, and she promised to protect Shen Pearl to Lingwu and then return to the mountain. Xue Hongxian's martial arts Zhang Hanruo is a hundred rest assured, and this road is chaotic, and it is inconvenient if there are many escorts, after discussing with Shen Pearl at that time, he managed to buy a pony carriage, changed into men's clothes, and Xue Hongxian drove Shen Pearl to Lingwu.
Three days later, when they arrived at a certain section of the road, the two of them were thirsty, and the stream was murmuring under the mountain forest, Xue Hongxian went to fetch water, and Shen Pearl stayed in the carriage and waited.
Xue Hongxian had only left for a quarter of an hour, and there was a tsunami-like shouting and killing sound from behind, mixed with the sound of horses' hooves, screams, chirping, and fighting. As soon as Shen Pearl lifted the curtain vigilantly, he heard a torn whistle in the air, and in an instant, a powerful arrow flew through the roof of the carriage and pierced into the trunk of the tree beside the road.
Shen Pearl looked back, and saw hundreds of soldiers holding the broken flag, fighting and retreating, fleeing in panic, I don't know where the fleeing army is, and where the pursuers are, the two sides are fighting and fighting, getting closer and closer to themselves, and from time to time there are stray arrows shooting left and right. Shen Pearl was in a hurry and shouted a few times in the direction of Xue Hongxian's water intake, but the sound was completely annihilated in the sound of fighting. After a moment's thought, she decided to get out of the car and hide behind the woods.
Fang wanted to jump out of the carriage, and heard the whistle of arrows in the air, and the two arrows flew cross-over his head, collided in the air, and fell on the horse. The horse was suddenly frightened, jumped to his feet, spread his hooves, and ran forward. Shen Pearl grabbed the reins and used all his strength to lie down in the driving position, not letting himself be thrown off the horse. The horse galloped wildly, and began to slow down, but the rebels did not follow, Shen Zhu's heart was wide, he lost his mind and relaxed the reins, and rolled down from the carriage with a "bang", but fortunately he was not injured, and the horse did not wait for her, and slowly ran forward with his hoof.
Shen Pearl didn't dare to go back to the same place and wait for Xue Hongxian, after thinking about it, he felt that Xue Hongxian didn't have a carriage, if he found that he was missing, he should follow the road to find it, it was better to hide here and wait for her arrival.
A quarter of an hour, two quarters of an hour...... It's time for an hour, two hours, three hours, and Xue Hong didn't show up now.
Night finally covered the world, and the cars and horses on the road gradually became scarce. Shen Pearl walked out from behind the woods, the October weather was dry and cold, cold and clear, cold and pure, if she didn't come out and walk around, she was afraid that she would freeze. The dry food was stored in the carriage, but now it is all gone, Xue Hong is nowhere to be seen, and she can't help but ask herself over and over again: What should I do? It turns out that in the troubled times, a woman who has no power to restrain the chicken is so difficult to survive. recalled that she was captured by the Xiliang people back then, and she was not as helpless as she is now-yes, she knew that Li Jiao would try her best to save her from her predicament; And now, does he know that she is still alive? Even if he knew, what could he do? Her right child, the bone in her bones, the blood in her blood, has he gained weight for four months? Have you grown taller? Has it changed?
In any case, she wants to live, she doesn't want to die. At the very least, let her see them again, touch their faces, smell their familiar breath......
There are no lights in this radius of dozens of miles, only the bright moon is in the sky, and it is lonely and clear. Walking alone at night may be even more convenient and safer than walking during the day. People are always lonely passers-by between heaven and earth, and only the lucky ones find the place where they feel.
Walking alone on this desolate and gloomy road, how can you not be frightened and timid, and wear your hair! The wind rustles through the leaves, squirrels squirrel scurrying up and down the tall trees, or more unknown creatures, and the strange sound of rustling in the night, seems to follow you like a shadow, like a ghost.
The more Shen Pearl walked, the more panicked she became, and she fell a few times in a hurry, making her dizzy, she couldn't distinguish between the south and the north, in fact, she was exhausted, leaning on a big tree and panting, and the wound in her chest was faint again, so she hurriedly took out the medicine bottle from her arms, swallowed it raw, and felt better. Sleepy, he leaned on the trunk of the tree and fell asleep slowly......
"Hehe, it turned out to be a little girl!" In her sleep, she suddenly felt a chill on her head, she woke up instantly, and when she opened her eyes, she saw a pair of small bean chicken eyes, almost close to her face, and the black gauze on her head fell into his hand. She was startled, pushed the person in front of her out, and immediately jumped up: "What are you doing?" ”
In a panic, Fang Fang realized that the sky was dark, and in front of him were three soldiers—unarmoured, with tattered shirts and bloodstains, one with small eyes and skinny eyes, one fat and strong, and one with a red rosacea nose. The bean chicken looked her up and down with small eyes, and admired her with ill intentions: "This little girl is really Peugeot." The other two also laughed lewdly, and at the same time approached Shen Zhu.
Shen Pearl knew that something was wrong, her body shrank back, her back was scolded, she leaned against the trunk of the tree, there was no way back, and she saw the bow and arrow on the nose of the rosacea, with the word "Tang" on it, and blurted out: "You are Tang Jun!" ”
The rosacea nose was stunned: "The little lady still has some knowledge." ”
Shen Pearl wanted to know why Tang Jun was here, and wanted to delay time, so he hurriedly continued: "Your Majesty is originally in Lingwu, how can you appear here?" ”
Douji's small eyes took a breath of stink, and smoked Shen Zhuzhu's face, Shen Pearl held his breath and forced himself to be patient, and heard him say: "Fang Xuan's old man is as stupid as a cow, and he raised a bull formation against the enemy, causing us to be defeated and retreated." But...... Lao Tzu is not shallow...... "The color fan looked at Shen Zhuzhu, and he was dying.
It turned out that Su Zong was bent on recovering Xijing as soon as possible, and the successor of the Tongzhong Shumen, Pingzhang Shi Fang Xuan, had always been very happy and boastful, and together with Concubine Zhang and Li Fuguo, he persuaded Su Zong to lead the 50,000 soldiers and horses that Li Jiao had just recruited to attack Xijing. But that Fang Xuan on paper talk about the army is acceptable, when he came to the battlefield, he actually imitated the ancient book, set the ox into battle to meet the enemy, An Qingxu met the battle after the drums and shouted, the cattle trampled in all directions, the Tang army was in chaos, An Qingxu ordered to set fire to the chariot, and it was a mixture of people and animals, with more than 40,000 dead and wounded, only thousands of people scattered and fled, and were pursued by the rebels.
The ambush that Shen Pearl saw yesterday was one of the rebel teams chasing the fleeing Tang army. These three soldiers were among them, and they had a lot of eyes, and they hid in the shadows when the two sides were fighting, and after the rebels annihilated the fleeing Tang army in one fell swoop, they secretly ran out to escape. Although most of the soldiers recruited by Li Jiao had the intention of serving the country and killing the enemy, the recruitment was hasty, and it was inevitable that the good and the bad would be uneven.
This kind of soldier who has been defeated on the battlefield will naturally not return to the army, he is not afraid of heaven and earth, Shen Pearl knows that even if he reveals his identity, it will not only be useless, but will also increase trouble.
Douji's small eyes pounced, took Shen Pearl into his arms and began to pull her clothes, while saying to the two behind him: "Brother, I'll come first, how about it?" Fat Dun didn't speak, and at this time he smiled and sat down next to him, and said, "Okay, it's up to you, anyway, let's enjoy it today." In this tone, Shen Pearl has been regarded as a lamb to be slaughtered.
Shen Pearl stared at him in horror, struggling to break free, although the bean chicken's small eyes were thin, but his arms were like iron tongs, tightly clamping her hand, the stinky mouth kissed Shen Pearl's neck, Shen Pearl was in a hurry, opened his mouth and bit his shoulder fiercely, the bean chicken's small eyes screamed "ah", his hand relaxed slightly, Shen Pearl took the opportunity to pull a hand, casually touched his waist, and touched a gold hairpin in the collection. The little eyes of the bean chicken were annoyed and angry, and he raised his hand and slapped Shen Pearl hard, which made Shen Pearl's eyes glow with gold stars, and he pounced on it again.
The two soldiers next to him only sneered and did not come up to help. Suddenly, I heard the muffled scream of Douji's small eyes "oh", and I was surprised, and I turned my head to see Douji's small eyes slowly falling to the ground, and the captive beautiful woman seemed to tremble all over, and then ran away. The two jumped up to see - a golden hairpin was stabbed in the heart of the bean's small eye, and it was obvious that he couldn't live.
Shen Pearl was in a panic, she killed someone! Although this person deserved to die, it was the first time she had killed someone—she had thrust Jin Hai into his heart, and she seemed to hear the sound of his blood suddenly stopping. Her hands were not stained with blood, but she kept wiping her hands on her robe as she ran, as if her hands were covered with blood.
She didn't get far when she stumbled and fell to the ground.
"Can you run away?" The two soldiers laughed behind her.
