"Take a walk, be careful, don't be discovered. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info "Liu Baichuan and his party went to the east of the city along the city wall. The east of the city is close to the official road, which is also the most flat and open, and most of the villages are not far from the official road.

A few people quickly groped their way to the official road, although it was already very late, but because of the bright moon, it was not so difficult to walk.

"We walked along the official road for a while, and then ran to the country road, so as not to be overtaken. "Because the official road is a straight section, if they keep taking the official road, once they find something strange in the city, they send fast horses to chase them, and none of them can run. But it's different with the trails, which lead to the villages, and are not only rugged, but also have many forks, and if you drill into them, who knows where you have gone.

"Yes, sir. The three officials also suppressed their voices and answered in a low voice.

However, they had only walked far before they felt panicked. Because Changning County is close to the Luotang River, there are many businessmen who come and go, but most of the businessmen are absolutely unwilling to take this official road.

Because this official road is not easy to walk, many places are potholes, even if it is a flat place, it is paved with a layer of gravel. If a person walks on it, the soles of the feet are painful and itchy, and it is very uncomfortable. If you accidentally step into a pothole, you may fall on your head.

"What kind of road is this in Changning County, what kind of food do the county officials do!" walked without three hundred steps, Liu Baichuan secretly scolded, although he can't say that he is pampered, but he rarely walks out, and generally travels with sedan chairs or carriages and horses, where has he suffered this crime.

Looking at Liu Baichuan's gloomy appearance, several officials also smiled bitterly, this road, let alone Lord Yushi, is that they have a hard time walking, it is simply fatal.

But there is no way, it is better for my feet to hurt than to lose my life, so I have to grit my teeth and insist on moving forward.

With great difficulty, they came to a fork in the road leading to the countryside, and they finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although the roads in the countryside are not as open as the official roads, at least they are dirt roads, there are no stones, and it is not difficult to step on them, so you don't have to be tortured.

"Silence, there's movement. At that moment, one of the officials suddenly bowed down and lowered his voice. And the rest of the people were also taken aback, where did they come from this big night?

They quickly shrank to the side, squinting into the distance. At the top of the path, a dozen or so men were patrolling back and forth with torches, and through the light of the fire, they could recognize the identities of the men.

Inspection Division!

"How can it be the people from the Inspection Division, what are they doing here at night?" Seeing the people from the Inspection Division, Liu Baichuan felt that something was wrong, the Inspection Department was controlled by Zhao Cheng, could it be that Zhao Cheng found out that he had run away, so he sent someone to search.

"My lord, let's keep going, there are many villages in Changning, since this road is not passable, let's take another path...... However, it's just that this official way is too torturous. "There are only a few of them, but they are no match for those people in the Inspection Division.

"Okay, let's move on. "Since there are people from the inspection department on the fork in the road, then if they go any further, they will collide with people headlong, and they can only continue to take the official road and go to other villages.

Liu Baichuan gritted his teeth, nodded and agreed, and took the lead in the front. He only took a few steps before he bared his teeth, and there were already blisters under his feet, and every step he took was like a knife cut.

The bright moon rises higher and higher, like a jade disc hanging in the sky. Tonight's moon, perhaps because there are no clouds, is unexpectedly bright.

However, how could a few people in the official road be in the mood to care about this, one by one, one foot deep, one foot shallow, and they walked in a hurry. After walking for so long, they felt like the soles of their feet were about to rot.

"Front...... There is a fork in the road ahead!" Liu Baichuan's boots have been worn out with a big hole, his clothes have also been torn by the branches on the side of the official road, and his hair is scattered, looking very embarrassed.

The three officials were also in good spirits, and my God, I finally saw the fork in the road again.

However, their joy did not last long, and the expressions on their faces froze, for they saw that there were also a dozen or so soldiers of the Inspection Division patrolling the fork in the road.

When Liu Baichuan saw this situation, he had a plan to give up, just this tattered official road, if he continued to walk, he would really die.

"My lord, what should we do?" Several officials also reached the limit, all of them were tired and sleepy, their throats seemed to be smoking, and the soles of their feet were estimated to be rotten, and every step hurt to death.

"Go, keep walking, if we get caught, we'll all die. Liu Baichuan is also very tired, but after all, he has been walking for so long, and it is a pity to give up in vain.

At this time, he didn't use any high-ranking officials to boost morale, he knew that it was useless to talk about this vanity now. Only by making a few people feel a sense of urgency will they follow themselves.

Sure enough, as soon as he said this, the faces of the three officials were awe-inspiring. They fled without authorization, and once they were caught, the people of Changning County would not let them go. Only by continuing to walk can we have a chance to live.

The group of them continued to walk down the official road. The bright moon is gradually slanting westward, calculating the time, Liu Baichuan and a few people have been gone for nearly two hours.

"Mother, there is finally no one from the Inspection Department on this fork in the road. They had gone for another half an hour when they saw another fork in the road. Happily, there was no trace of any soldiers from the Inspection Division at this fork in the road.

"God forbid, we've finally made it through. "A few officials only felt that they were about to cry, it was really not easy, and it was not in vain to run so far in one night.

"Let's go, it's a village not far away, let's rest for a while, buy a few horses, and everyone rides away." Liu Baichuan was also very happy, pointing to the front and saying. Although he doesn't know how to ride a horse, at this time, he can't care so much.

This path is a little narrow compared to the official road, and because it had just rained a few days ago, the ground was a little muddy. But this is good news for everyone.

Several of the officials took off their boots and tattered footcoats, revealing the soles of their feet covered in blood blisters and cuts. They trampled into the mud and strode forward.

The muddy ground was very soft, and it was weak to step on it, but when the soles of several people's hot feet touched the cold soil, they felt very comfortable, and they almost didn't moan twice.

Liu Baichuan looked at a few officials with some envy, but he claimed to be a scholar, and he would not do such a rude thing, so he could only continue to wear boots and walk on the path.
