Chapter 120: Goodbye
The sound of horses' hooves? Is that...... My mind was still a little blurry, and my attention was a little hard to follow.
Rui Wei had already listened carefully, and then confirmed: "Senior brother, there is really the sound of horses' hooves!" Looks like you're coming this way! ”
I came back from the shock, and when I listened intently, the sound of the horse's hooves seemed to be very close. We are now halfway up the mountain, and the sound from below the mountain sounds exceptionally clear.
Oh no, could it be that just now some officers and soldiers were not completely fascinated and found out that there was fraud in my bureau and chased after me?
As soon as I thought of it, I jumped up from the ground, looked around, and saw that there was a gentle slope down the edge of the platform, which was different from the bare road, and was covered with thick tall grass, just enough to hide, so I hurriedly said, "You three, take it quickly...... Uncle went hiding, and I drove the carriage away to divert the pursuers! ”
Rui Wei immediately retorted to me: "I don't want it!" They're hiding, I'll go with you! ”
I knew that she was worried about my safety, but the situation was urgent, and I didn't have time to grind with her, so I hurriedly pulled her and gestured to Wang Shaoting's side and said, "He is in such a bad mood now, how can my father handle it?" It's up to you! If you're not at ease, Daddy and I will always be able to do it, right? You stay! ”
"But......" She still wanted to refute, but I had already turned around and said to Wang Shaoting: "Brother, listen, now that life and death are at stake, it is important to escape, you don't want your Wang family to be ruined!" ”
He was so stimulated by me that he looked up and looked at me with anger in his eyes.
"You have to keep this life so that you can have a chance to fight with me in the future, you know? Take your uncle and hide over there! We can't leave him to the enemy! I pulled him up with all my might, and then sent them to the tall grass to hide, and then immediately turned back and got into the carriage with my father, and galloped on the road ahead.
As soon as I got on my horse, I looked back down the hill. Sure enough, I saw a string of torches winding up and crawling up, and it looked like there were dozens of people. If it's the fish that slipped through the net in the fog bomb, this number is too exaggerated, so who are they?
We didn't have time to think about it, so we had to continue walking up the mountain road, which was about two or three miles away. There was no way to take the carriage anymore, so you had to walk down the hill and climb the hill to the northeast to join the new road. There is also a small fork in the road, which leads to the top of the mountain, which is a dead end, and you must not go wrong.
I can know all this thanks to the Luoyang Geographical Chronicle provided by Liu Zhi.
The mountain road is a little narrow, and the wagons with wooden wheels obviously cannot play to their advantage. The bumps were very strong, and the speed could not go up, so from time to time I would prick up my ears to listen to the voices behind me, and feel that the pursuers were constantly shortening the distance with us.
But this is obviously a mixed blessing, and at the current rate, it is estimated that in another three to five minutes, we will definitely be caught up. No matter how capable my father and I are, we can't beat them all at once. It's time to plan!
Seeing that I was walking to the fork in the dead-end road that went up the mountain, I said to Daddy Yan beside me: "When you get to the fork in the road, you go down first and go to the right, there is a path to go down the mountain not far away, and if you can't ride a horse, you will definitely be able to get rid of them with your skills!" ”
"What about you?" He asked.
"There's another way here. I'll lure them away! I said.
"That's not good, how can you deal with so many people alone!" He said.
"Don't worry, the mountain people have their own tricks!" I said with a confident smile. At this point, just at the fork in the road, I pulled the reins a little to slow down. Then, without waiting for him to object, he pushed it down with all his might, and then said "oh", and drove to the top of the mountain.
The mountain people have their own tricks...... Hehe. I can only hehe, because at this time, I, a mountain man, really don't have any clever plans, so I can only ask to save a few of them first, and then talk about the rest of the matter.
Thinking like this, I also shook the whip a few times, and the whip made a crisp "pop" sound as if it had cut through the air.
"He's there! Go up the hill, chase! Sure enough, there was a shouting not far behind me, and the pursuers found me!
After walking for another while, the mountain road was too steep to take any more rides, so I quickly pulled the horse, jumped out of the car, and threw off my legs and ran to the top of the mountain!
I already saw that the light of those torches was only forty or fifty meters away from me, and when those people saw me abandon the car and run away, they also dismounted and chased after me on foot!
Anyway, I grew up on the side of the mountain when I was a child, and I was still very dexterous in climbing the mountain, but they couldn't get closer to us. But I know that such a distance is really temporary.
Sure enough, after running like this for about ten minutes, the path came to an abrupt end and reached the top of the mountain!
This is a small circular platform, with a steep stone wall below, and the view is excellent, and in such a bright full moon night, you can almost see Luoyang City in the distance.
But I obviously didn't have the heart to appreciate such a view, but I could only stop, turn around, and face those who had caught up, waiting for my fate!
When the people chased them to the platform, they did not rush directly, but stopped one after another, and looking at the clothes of these people, I found that they were not the officers and soldiers I had arranged at the trading site just now. And they are all masked, sneaky, and definitely not righteous people!
When they did not come, I did not move. The confrontation lasted for about half a minute, and the crowd on the opposite side was a minute, and three people came up from behind.
As soon as I saw them, I felt like I had swallowed a large piece of ice, and my whole body was cold.
I saw that these three people were very well-dressed, they were not ordinary people at first glance, they looked as similar as triplets, all of them had a big white face, a man's heart, and a woman's state, they were the three dead eunuchs I had always been afraid of!
As soon as the one on the left saw me, he immediately pulled a whip from his waist and looked like he was going to step up and do it! This guy Bacheng is the one who was called "Zhen Gonggong" when he was in Xiping Town earlier, speaking of which, I haven't avenged the revenge he took on me with a whip in the face, if he really comes, I won't be polite to him this time!
I secretly held the quenching moon in my sleeve, thinking that I was fortunate to have brought back my talisman treasure just now.
But it was the slightly taller man in the middle who stopped him, stepped forward himself, and said, "Master Tao, we meet again." ”
"How did you know I was here?" I asked straight to the point.
That's my biggest concern right now. Even if they had planted an inside line in the edict and could know that I had taken people away, they shouldn't have been able to know exactly that I had brought people in this direction. It must take a while to get the report and then arrange for so many people to follow it, so how can you get over so quickly?
Now that I'm at the end of my rope, since I'm suspicious, it's better to ask directly, whether the other party is telling the truth or not, it's better than being caught in a daze.
"Description...... We have a fate with Tao Gongzi......" He said this, his sweet voice and ambiguous tone made me almost vomit on the spot! (To be continued.) )
