Chapter 228: Crises abound

The river looks at the seaside

As Chu Yu said, there were really a lot of people who followed them along the way, from hiding all the way to assassinating them openly, it seems that more than one group of people didn't want them to go to Yan'an County.

"Lao Xu, can you still walk?"

Chu Yu looked at Xu Yong, who was soaking wet and panting as he walked.

In just three days after he was separated from the other brothers, five waves of people followed them, and after one wave was shaken off, another wave came, and he really didn't know when he was so popular that so many people could chase after him.

"The subordinates can go, but the subordinates are afraid that they can't go far in this situation, if it really comes to a critical moment, the young master remembers to protect himself first, the life of the subordinates is insignificant, but the young master, you still have big things to do, and you can't have any problems!"

Xu Yong said seriously, but compared to a few days ago, his face is now haggard, and even his eyes are red and bloodshot.

The two of them took turns to rest in the middle of the night, and one person guarded it, even if they didn't dare to sleep, for fear that something unexpected would happen.

Xu Yong looked at the leg that was still bleeding, which was bandaged with a rag, but there was no hemostatic medicine and they were walking on the waterway, the water soaked the injured leg, and the leg was already white and about to rot.

His leg was attacked by someone in the middle of the night last night, and he was injured in order to protect Chu Yu, and the two of them worked together to kill the four people and leave only one alive, but they didn't think that the living mouth would bite their tongues and commit suicide, which made them admire who trained such a loyal subordinate, even if they died and refused to reveal half a sentence.

"What nonsense, do you want to go back with me, and then marry a daughter-in-law, this place is not suitable for a long time, let's walk a little longer and then rest."

Chu Yu squinted and smiled, his fair face had already been covered with mud, making his face dirty, and even his clothes were changed into coarse linen clothes worn by ordinary farmers.

Originally, the garment was too conspicuous, and if it was worn, it would attract the attention of others, so he used it to exchange a set of coarse clothes with a common man, and as he thought, the man with whom he changed his clothes died the next day......

Those who sought him wanted to put him to death, and if he didn't change clothes with the people that day, he would have died!

"But the subordinates' current situation is just a burden, if those people catch up again, I'm afraid that the subordinates will only cause trouble to you, young master."

Xu Yong blamed himself, he originally wanted to protect Chu Yu, but he didn't expect it to become a burden, and he was blamed for his lack of martial arts, otherwise he wouldn't have let the villains take advantage of it.

"Not necessarily, let's hold on for a few more days to get to Yan'an County, and then it will be difficult for those people to do it again, so they are bound to do it in these few days, if they can't find us, they will only mess with themselves, as long as they survive these few days, we will win."

Chu Yu's eyes flashed with a fine light, and he looked full of confidence.

And what Xu Yong saw in Chu Yu's eyes was a touch of excitement, which made him stunned, why was there excitement in his eyes when he was in danger?

It's like meeting an evenly matched opponent.

"Yes!"

Since there is hope, he will not give up, Xu Yong put his hand on Chu Yu's hand, as if he had reached some kind of agreement.

"Let's go, it won't be peaceful tonight."

The phoenix eyes looked around, Pu Wei was blown down by the wind, but Chu Yu became vigilant.

This seemingly ordinary is often the deadliest, and he cannot take it lightly.

"Yes."

Xu Yong responded and followed behind Chu Yu, walking a little slowly, and judging the two of them a few days ago.

A bright moon hangs high, the reeds are blown down by the wind, the lake is sparkling, and the cool breeze blows.

The two of them didn't even dare to make a fire in this cool night, they could only hold on, even if it was cold, they could only grit their teeth and endure it.

Now it's autumn, and the temperature at night is naturally several degrees lower than during the day, not to mention that even Xu Yong, who lives in the barracks all year round, is shivering from the cold, especially since he still has injuries on his body, and the waterway makes his whole body wet, and the whole person is even a little pale.

Looking at Xu Yong, who was trembling, Chu Yu became worried.

It was he who was careless, originally thought that there were only two groups of people, Hou De and the prince, but according to the observation of the past three days, there were at least three different groups of people who wanted his life.

Judging from this situation, it will be even more difficult for him to go to Yan'an County, and Xu Yong is current situation, he will inevitably arrive in Yan'an County a few days later, and he must go to Yan'an County first before those people find out, so as to catch them off guard.

The phoenix's eyes narrowed slightly, frowning and thinking.

The Prince's Mansion

Chu Xu held the two beads in his hand, turning them back and forth and rubbing them to make a sound, and there was a fine light in his eyes.

"Lao Pei, you let our people withdraw first, there is no need to chase after us."

Chu Xu spoke slowly, but the old man behind him was a little puzzled.

He is becoming more and more unable to see through what his master is thinking, and he will let him send someone to hunt down and kill Chu Yu for a while, and he will withdraw again for a while.

"Yes."

He couldn't guess what Chu Xu was thinking, but he knew that there must be his own reason for doing so, and all he had to do was obey.

"Master, Lord Yuan is here."

A voice interrupted Chu Xu's conversation with Lao Pei, and Chu Xu raised his eyebrows and smiled at the corners of his mouth.

"Nope."

The thin lips opened lightly and slowly spit out the words, and the maid was not surprised by Chu Xu's answer, so she only answered yes and retreated.

"Master, Lord Yuan can come to the door three times, if I don't see him again, I'm afraid he will ......"

Lao Pei looked at Chu Xudao worriedly, Yuan Xing had visited three times since the last incident, but his master had never seen him once, so he was afraid that Yuan Xing would be angry.

"Don't worry, he will definitely hold me to the death, the more he whispers, the more he will gain an inch, and only by frustrating his sharpness can he control him."

His hands were still playing with the two huge beads, and although he was in a wheelchair, he couldn't stop the cold air emanating from his body.

"Master, Lord Yuan said that he knew his mistake, I hope you will give him a chance."

The maid who had just gone out walked in again and said, hearing this, the corner of Chu Xu's mouth raised a smile and glanced at the old man beside him.

"Look, isn't that a compromise?"

The more he hung him, the more anxious he became, how could he take care of so much when he was in a hurry?

"Biography."

The old man behind him was silent, and he was completely willing to bow down.

As soon as these words fell, Yuan Xing outside the door walked in in a hurry, clapped his hands left and right and knelt in front of Chu Xu.

If it was the first time that he had the meaning of provocation and contempt, then this time he had completely figured out that he wanted to follow Chu Xu's side.

"Chen Yuan Xing knocked to see the six princes, thank you to the six princes for giving the ministers a chance."

"Get up, this opportunity is not given by this prince, but you grasp it yourself, but only this once."

A sharp flash flashed in his cold eyes, and there was some reminder between his words.

Yuan Xing bowed his head and surrendered, and responded as if he didn't understand.

He has visited Chu Xu in the past few days but he has not even seen him, it seems that it is really as he said, he is not the only one by his side, he underestimated Chu Xu's strength.

"Get up."

Chu Xu didn't feel much embarrassed, and directly asked Yuan Xing to get up.

Since he has compromised, there is no need for him to make an inch, otherwise it will only be counterproductive.

"Yuan Xing, you chose my side, what should your daughter do? If General Xiao chooses to support the crown prince or others, how will you choose? ”

Chu Xu squinted and asked with a smile.

On one side is his master and on the other side is his baby daughter, although Xiao Yongde is not involved in these things now, but one day his force will definitely choose to serve one person, just like the Xiao family supported his father after the death of the former prince Chu Rui, if it were not for the support of the Xiao family and several ministers in the court, his father would not be able to sit in the emperor's position.

Once you really compete with other princes, it must be your life and death, how will Yuan Xing choose then?

Yuan Xing's eyes rolled without hesitation and said: "The minister is the minister, the daughter of the minister is the daughter of the minister, and I hope that the six princes will be Mingjian." ”

This has been made clear, and what his daughter will choose in the future has nothing to do with him, and there is only one master he serves at present.

It can't be denied that he was thinking of borrowing his daughter to climb the Xiao family at that time, but Xiao Yongde was too upright, and honest people are the easiest to lose.

His daughter has married Xiao Yongde and has become a member of the Xiao family, so naturally it has nothing to do with him, everything is his daughter's own choice, and he will not be a woman.

"That's good, this prince is still worried that Lord Yuan will betray this prince because of his daughter."

Chu Xu said lightly, but these words were reminding Yuan Xing.

"Chen Gan is the master, you go up the sword mountain and down the sea of fire, and you have no two hearts."

Kneeling in front of Chu Xu with a bang, Chu Xu nodded with satisfaction.

He wouldn't believe Yuan Xing so quickly, but now that it was the time to employ people, he could only choose to believe him.

"Okay, just be kind and go back, you go back first that night, Ming'er still has something to do."

Chu Xu leaned back and closed his eyes and said.

"Yes."

Yuan Xing glanced at Chu Xu, and saw that he didn't want to continue talking, so he didn't say much.

It's just that he doesn't understand what kind of medicine Chu Xu sells in this gourd, what can't he say now, he has to wait until tomorrow? But Chu Xu didn't say it, and he didn't dare to ask.

"The minister retired."

Yuan Xing got up, bent over and didn't dare to look at Chu Xu, and slowly retreated until the figure disappeared in front of Chu Xu.

The old man admired Chu Xu completely, as if all this was under his control, including Yuan Xinghui's door to find him, he expected it, as if he was in control of the whole situation.

"Lao Pei, let those people withdraw quickly, you can't catch the four princes in the past few days, and it is even more impossible for him to let you succeed in the remaining few days."

Chu Xu said slowly, and Lao Pei sighed.

"But the old slave found that it was not only His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and our people who went to chase the four princes, but also another group of people."

Lao Pei squinted his eyes, with doubts in his eyes.

"If the fourth prince goes to Yan'an County, who will have the greatest impact?"

"Prince?"

Lao Pei didn't even think about it, so he spoke, if it wasn't for the prince, why would he go to great lengths to kill Chu Yu?

"No, the most influential should be those bureaucrats who have taken the official money, if Chu Yu really finds out any clues, it will not be only Hou De who will open it, so those people don't want Chu Yu to go to Yan'an County."
