Chapter 219: Escape
It was getting dark, and although it wasn't fifteen today, the moon was still big and round, and the quiet moonlight sprinkled down, gilding the ground with a layer of mercury. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
On the Luotang River, the level is like a mirror, a round of bright moon, reflected in the water, occasionally swim past one or two fish, the water surface will tremble out layers of ripples, scattering the moon.
Fang Hong's divine body sat on the surface of the water, and his thoughts spilled out like a big net, refining the Luotang River bit by bit. Now, about ten days have passed since the last incident, and he has refined eighty percent of the Luotang River.
"Poof. "On the edge of the pier on the south bank of Changning, a small pebble inadvertently slipped off the shore and fell into the water. On this quiet night, it was extremely clear.
"Be careful, don't disturb the city. Liu Baichuan peeked out of the grass on the side, and scolded angrily in a low voice at the officials on the side.
"Yes, yes. The official had a look of ridicule on his face, and he couldn't stop nodding his head.
"These people dare to put their officials under house arrest, and they clearly want to rebel. Looking at the calm Luotang River in front of him, Liu Baichuan stepped out of the grass in a few steps, muttering resentfully in his mouth.
A few days ago, although he was rescued by Zhao Cheng and them, since then, he has been under house arrest in the county government. The words are good, what is the fear that the thief will hurt him again. If you were afraid that the thieves would hurt me, you would have arrested them.
Finally, he found a vacancy and sent someone to bribe the guards of the south gate. The south gate is against the Luotang River, which is equivalent to a natural danger, and the defense is not tight, but a few officials are symbolically sent.
These officials were very easy to handle, and as soon as they saw that there was money to be taken, they agreed happily. In this way, taking advantage of the night, Liu Baichuan and several people escaped from the city.
Of course, in order not to startle the snake, Liu Baichuan only brought three trustworthy subordinates, and the rest of the people are still living in the county government.
"My lord, the boat is ahead, let's get on the boat in a moment, wake up the old man, and then we can leave. It's really a coincidence, there is wind tonight, as long as we puff up the sails, even if the people in Changning County find out, they will not be able to catch up. A servant stretched out his hand to feel it and said happily.
Lao Gao was the boss of the boat that carried them over, because the inn in the city was too expensive, and the post house did not allow boatmen to live, so they could only live on the boat, and now it was just convenient for them to leave.
"Tuk. By the light of the moon, they quickly touched the vicinity of the ship, and one of the servants threw up a stone and threw it onto the ship. When it was time to go to bed at night, the boatmen put away the planks for people to get up and down, and they could not go up for a while, so they had to wake them up first.
The people on the ship slept relatively deadly, and after several smacks from the crowd, one of them came out of the cabin with an impatient face, and he wanted to see which bastard did not sleep at night and threw things here.
"Who? don't want to live, this big night's ......," the boatman said with a little annoyance, rubbing his eyes, yawning a little, and feeling a little unpleasant. His eyesight was not good, and he did not see the faces of the people on the shore.
"You kid has too much horse urine, this is Lord Yushi, hurry up and put down the plank, let's go up." One of the servants reprimanded in a low voice, and the boatman looked fixedly, and the sleepiness was gone. Oh my mother, why did Lord Goshi come here at night?
The boatman did not dare to slack off, and immediately returned to the cabin, smoothed down a plank, Liu Baichuan took the lead, and the three servants followed him, and got on the boat in a few steps.
"Quick, call Lao Gao up, let's get out of here now. After Liu Baichuan entered the boat, he breathed a sigh of relief, he could be regarded as escaping, this twist and turn, it was really scared to death.
"Uh...... This ......" The boatman looked at Liu Baichuan, and then looked at several officials around him, some of whom were distracted, and couldn't speak for a long time.
"You kid is stupid, let you go and call people up, adults are leaving, is Lao Gao still holding a corpse?" Liu Baichuan The official on the side saw the stupid appearance of the boatman and kicked over.
"Ouch...... This official, it's not that I don't want to call it, Boss Gao and the rest of the people were all invited by Zhao Bantou to drink, and they haven't come back until now, I'm alone on this boat, and this boat can't be opened. Why don't we wait for everyone to come back tomorrow, and then we will go?" The boatman smiled wryly, how can I drive this boat alone, not to mention anything else, it is this wheel oar, even if you are tired of stepping on it alone, you can't make this boat move.
"What are you talking about? Go drinking!" Liu Baichuan immediately became excited, and pressed the boatman's shoulder, what the hell, my life is at stake, they actually went to drink? Or did they go to drink with Zhao Cheng?
"Yes...... Oh, yes. The boatman was a little hurt by this, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, but said a little nervously. What's the matter, Lord Goshi, can't you leave tomorrow?
"My lord, what should we do?" Several officials were also dumbfounded, everyone finally escaped, this can't leave by boat, what can we do, do you want to go back to the city in a gloomy way? But this Changning County is a wolf's den, and if you go in, you may be eaten one day, and there are not even bones left.
"Let's go, get off the boat, let's think of another way!" Liu Baichuan's face was gloomy and almost dripping, taking the waterway was the fastest way, but this black trough boat was so big, just a few of them, they didn't want to drive it away.
Moreover, what he was most worried about was that Zhao Cheng was neither early nor late, but at this time, he invited the people on the boat to drink, did he find something?
Several people hurriedly got off the boat and stood on the dock, and everyone's hearts were full of confusion. What should they do next? With just a pair of legs, I am afraid that they will not be able to run far, and they will have to be caught.
"Let's find a village to hide, and it's better to buy a horse or a donkey from someone, anyway, no matter what, we can't be caught, and if we do, it's all over." Liu Baichuan was the leader, he looked in all directions, and then he suppressed his voice to see it.
A few of the officials nodded, and they agreed. But their hearts were secretly bitter, this big night, the road is so difficult to walk, and so far, but it is really tiring to death. I don't know if there will be wolves on the way, a few of them don't have weapons in hand, if they encounter a wild beast, then they will wait for death.
"Let's go, when you escape this fate, this official will definitely ask for a reward for you. Liu Baichuan also saw that everyone's morale was not very high, so he opened his mouth and promised. In this way, everyone's spirits were lifted a little.
