According to the regulations on guarding the gates, if there is no special pass, the guards are absolutely not allowed to open the gates without permission, and those who violate them will be beheaded to show the public to set an example.

What if it was the captain of Yanshan Pass who was held hostage by the gangsters who ordered the city gate to be opened?

The answer is self-explanatory.

When the commander of the capital of Yanshan Pass and the general of the first cadre were ordered to go to Yongping Mansion to discuss official affairs, Captain Yin Du, who stayed in Yanshan Pass, was the veritable supreme military commander here, and naturally no one dared to disobey his orders.

Chen An rode on a horse, and in his arms sat a frightened little girl, he held Yin Cheng in one hand, and stood in front of Yanshan Pass with a spear in the other hand and slowly opened the city gate, and the street behind him followed the countless soldiers holding torches and blades.

When the city gate was completely open, Chen An drove his horse out of the city gate in full view of everyone.

"Captain Yin, the men who ordered you are not allowed to follow again. ”

Not long after stepping out of the city gate, Chen An glanced at Yin Chengdao, who was like a dead dog in his hand.

"Lao Tzu has already asked people to let you leave Yanshan Pass, and when did you release Lao Tzu?" Yin Cheng, who was pale due to excessive bleeding, raised his head to look at Chen An, and said weakly through gritted teeth.

"Half an hour after we have successfully left Yanshan Pass, I will leave you on the side of the road and let you go. Chen Andao.

“......”

Yin Cheng was silent for a moment, and then used his last strength to shout at the soldiers behind him.

"All the soldiers obey the order, you are not allowed to act rashly in Yanshan Pass for the time being, and then all of them will go out to search for Lao Tzu after half an hour, if you don't find Lao Tzu's whereabouts or find that Lao Tzu is dead, you will kill Lao Tzu even if you chase them to the ends of the earth!"

"The last general and others will listen to the order!"

Suddenly, the soldiers in Yanshan Pass let out a terrifying roar.

"Don't be afraid, we'll be safe soon...... Remember to sit tight!"

Chen An comforted the little girl with her head hanging down in her arms, and then clamped the horse's belly between her legs, and the horse under her crotch immediately ran under the moonlight and sultry official road, and the outline of Yanshan Pass behind her began to slowly become blurred until it completely disappeared.

The horses in the galloping state were very bumpy, even if he mastered the skills and rhythm of horseback riding, Chen An felt a strong physical discomfort, after all, he was holding Yin Cheng in one hand, holding a spear and reins in the other hand to manipulate the horses, which undoubtedly greatly consumed his spirit and strength.

So about a quarter of an hour after leaving Yanshan Pass, he threw Yin Cheng on the side of the road in a high-speed gallop, and smashed the other party's head to the point of bleeding.

He did not directly kill Yin Cheng as agreed, but whether Yin Cheng, who was hit hard, could survive tenaciously is another matter.

Without the burden of Yin Cheng, Chen An suddenly felt a lot more relaxed in the future, but the horses under the crotch were already sweating and tired after running for a long time, and obviously their endurance had reached a limit, if the horses could not get enough rest and continue to drive and run, it was very likely that they would suddenly die suddenly on the way, and when there was no important means of transportation for horses, how should they go to Yongping Mansion, how to escape the pursuit of the Yanshan Guan soldiers?

Gradually, when Chen An was approaching a mountain forest, Chen An slowed down and stopped, and he just picked up the little girl who was delirious and got off the horse, but she couldn't help but vomit violently.

Looks like they'll have to sleep in the woods tonight.

Chen An picked up the little girl on his back, led the horse in his hand and began to go deep into the mountains and forests, he didn't know how long, he accidentally heard the sound of running water, and walked straight in the direction of the sound of water, and after a while he saw a stream that was only two or three meters wide.

After finding a flat stream, the two finally had a place to rest.

Chen An took off his clothes and covered the little girl who was sleeping in his arms, and then sat alone by the stream and immersed himself in the quiet mountain and forest environment under the night, as if he had forgotten all the troubles in the world for a while.

Unfortunately, this tranquility is ultimately an illusion.

After tonight, no one knows what sinister reality he will face.

Regardless of whether Yin Cheng is alive or dead, the pursuers of Yanshan Pass are categorically impossible to give up easily, although Chen An can escape into the mountains and forests to escape for a while, but once he walks out of the mountains and forests to Yongping Mansion, he will definitely not be able to hide from the other party's eyes and ears, and a vicious battle is inevitable.

He is not afraid of fighting, but the little girl he protects is very likely to be affected by the battle and affect her own life, and Chen An must be cautious about this.

Moreover, since the Confucian scholars who were deliberately trying to deal with Tang Xuanfu had the means to buy off the governors of Yanshan Pass, what about the bureaucrats in other prefectures and counties in Jiangzhou? You must know that the Confucius scholars were from the four major families in Jiangzhou, and their power in Jiangzhou must be intertwined and incalculable, and if they colluded and connected together, Chen An could be put in a situation where Chen An was embattled in an instant.

Fortunately, he is not far from Yongping Mansion now, and if he is fast, he may be able to arrive in half a day.

Early the next morning, Chen An took a few fathead fish from the stream with unclear scientific names for breakfast for the two of them, and after extinguishing the fire of the grilled fish, Chen An took the little girl and led the horse away from the mountain forest.

Returning to the official road, Chen An immediately judged from the messy horseshoe footprints on the official road that a large number of cavalry must have passed along the way last night, thinking that it was nothing more than the Yanshan Pass soldiers who were chasing and killing them, but he didn't know if they had returned in vain.

Setting off to Yongping Mansion again, Chen An did not hesitate to ride his horse like last night, but took a jogging method to prevent the horse from being tired after encountering an emergency.

At this moment, what he didn't know was that the soldiers of Yanshan Pass were frantically searching for his whereabouts.

Because Yin Cheng is dead.

Although the soldiers of Yanshan Pass once rescued the dying Yin Cheng on the side of the road, due to excessive bleeding, Yin Cheng finally died due to ineffective treatment.

As a result, the grief-stricken Yanshan Pass soldiers raised the banner of revenge and sent all the cavalry in the pass to kill Chen An to pay tribute to the dead Yin Cheng.

After the search last night was fruitless, the soldiers of Yanshan Pass immediately turned into seven or eight cavalry and scattered to track down Chen An's whereabouts, especially on the road to Yongping Mansion, roadblocks were set up, and the merchants and travelers had to go through their strict interrogation.

Perhaps due to the time difference, Chen An was lucky to avoid the cavalry who searched him, but he could not avoid the roadblocks set up by the other party.

So when he saw a large group of soldiers blocking the road in the distance, he knew that he had to force his way through this pass.

"Yaoyao, close your eyes for a while, and hold on tightly to the horse so as not to fall. ”

Chen An tightened the reins with one hand and aimed his spear in the other.

After saying this, he slammed the horse's belly and launched an indomitable charge against the barricade in front of him with the momentum of thunder.
