Chapter 92: It's hard to hide
In the main hall, there was silence, Zhao Chang sat in it with a son and a daughter, and the atmosphere was gloomy and scary. The guards and maids were all lightly tactful, for fear that one would accidentally get into trouble.
The steward who came back to report the news was imprisoned, and Gao Cheng came to the hall and stood behind Zhao Chang without saying a word.
"Have they been scattered?" Zhao Chang's voice suddenly sounded, like thunder in the silent hall.
Gao Cheng bowed his head and said, "It's already out, and it's split into two ways. All the way south to Dingyuan City, all the way along the way between the Pavilion Station and Guanxi City."
"What about the other directions?" Zhao Chang's tone was irritable.
"On the night of the king, when the search between the pavilion post and the city of the sunset is completed, they will split up and track in all directions." Gao Cheng replied carefully.
"It's too late, I'll send someone now." Zhao Changhan said. Without waiting for Gao Cheng to agree, he turned his head to look at Zhao Ling, "Hasn't Li Chong come back yet?"
Zhao Ling got up and said, "Father, with Li Chong's foot speed, it should be fast."
"It's all your trouble." Zhao Qian's voice sounded, pointing at Zhao Ling and saying angrily, "Bringing back such a calamity, and putting the lives of my father and son in the hands of others. Hook up all day long, attract bees and butterflies, and the reputation of the palace will be ruined by you."
"Presumptuous." Zhao Chang got up abruptly and slapped Zhao Qian in the face with a palm, "Your sister didn't make such a sacrifice for the sake of the palace, it's just for others to say this, you are her own brother."
Zhao Chang accentuated his tone and said in a cold voice, "Remember, although my brother is on the wall, he will also prevent trouble. At such a juncture, there must be no more strife, and if there are any more hands and feet, I don't care if there is one less child."
Zhao Qian had never seen his father say such heavy words, his face turned pale with fright, sweat was like rain, and he fell to his knees, trembling all over.
Glancing at Zhao Qian contemptuously, Zhao Ling fell to his knees, "Father, this time my daughter does have a false fault, and I ask my father to punish her."
"Ugh." Zhao Chang sighed, waved his hand, and sat back in his chair weakly, "Get up, at this juncture, it's not the time to pursue the fault, you two must work together to eliminate this disaster." new
Zhao Qian stood up and said tentatively, "Father, I don't think there's any need to worry so much, how can these three hairs be seen that they belong to me and the other three, it can't be that kid who deceived us. Besides, since they have escaped, it is better to abolish the identity of Chu Ji's nobleman and let them have nothing to do with the bamboo basket."
"Ugh." Zhao Chang and Zhao Ling both sighed heavily, and Zhao Chang pointed at Zhao Ling, motioning for him to explain to his stupid son.
"Brother, you don't want to think about it, that little girl in Chuji has been a lot more diligent when she came to my father's place and my house for a while. Originally, I thought she was coming to show her affection, but I didn't expect it to take away our hair."
Seeing that Zhao Qian was about to speak, Zhao Ling continued, "As for yours, it's even better to say. Now that I think about it, the disappearance of Wang Rong, the steward of your house, may not be related to Wu Gan. If he can move your stewardship, why is it so hard to get a hair?"
"Ahh Zhao Qian's face froze, and he sat down on the chair gloomily.
"As for the abolition of noble status, it is even more not. The nobleman of Chu Ji is the newly canonized emperor of the present, is it possible that there will be another abolition in the palace, isn't this a trick on the king, so that everyone in the court and the opposition will look at my father." Zhao Ling continued.
At this moment, a person hurriedly walked in outside the door, "Lord Wang, Li Zhong is back."
"How?" All three members of the room stood up.
"Huang Li has fled and is missing."
"Wu Gan, you are looking for death." Zhao Ling's face was fierce, and he gritted his teeth. Now that Huang Li has fled, Zhang Qing's death is inseparable from Wu Gan.
Zhao Chang turned his head and paced back and forth a few times, "Gao Cheng, all the secret guards are scattered and arrest Wu Gan. Remember, be careful when making a move, and never give him time to launch the Gu technique. He must bring back what he has on him, and never leave it behind."
Gao Cheng groaned slightly, "What about the Lord of the First Ji Dynasty."
"It's best to bring it back, and if something goes wrong, kill it." Zhao Chang's voice was cold to the bone.
Not to mention Zhao Chang and others, at this time, Wu Jian had already arrived in Yuyi, which was Zhao Guozhong
A large city of the Ministry. When he was in the city, Wu Gan found a caravan that was about to go to the capital, and after showing the jade plate of the nobleman of Chu Ji, the other party quickly fell to his knees in fright.
Wu Gen handed over a very tightly sealed box to the other party, and bluntly asked him to bring it to the capital, and he arrived later, and agreed on a way to meet.
The caravan is indispensable, but it is strange why this noble man did not go through the official passage, but entrusted them with a group of merchants.
After arranging all this, Wu Gan took two horses and galloped eastward with all his might. When he was at the wharf by the river, he deliberately exposed his desire to go to Dingyuan City, which should be able to attract some pursuers.
This time, if someone chases after him, he can divide his troops in the direction of the capital, so that he can flee to Zhu Juan Country with all his might.
Along the way, Wu Gan's two horses were ridden alternately, and even the food was provided with some dry food on the horse. When encountering a city, it is also far away, and it is a wild road and a small road. Fortunately, Chu Ji grew up in the barren tomb, and he was able to endure hardships since he was a child, and he was hard all the way, so he didn't say a word.
On this day, I finally arrived at the edge of the Yao River, and went down the river, and soon I could reach the border between Zhao and Zhu Juan.
This great river flows continuously all year round and never freezes, and in such cold weather, there are still many ships sailing on the river.
Chu Ji had already removed the nobleman's clothes at this time, and when she dressed up a little, she looked no different from a girl from an ordinary family.
Walking to a ferry, Wu Gan hastily sold his horse and found a ship that was about to sail. The boss of the ship was in a hurry to deliver food, and after stuffing two taels of silver, Wu Gen and Chu Ji got on the boat, and the space on the ship was small, so they could only be in the warehouse.
It was the first time for Chu Ji to travel on a big boat, and he looked at the scenery on both sides of the strait with great interest, regardless of the cold river breeze.
Wu Yan wrapped a thick coat around her, looked at her cold red nose, and secretly felt guilty in his heart. followed himself all the way, which made the little girl really suffer.
On the Yao River, the light boat rows across the water, the cliffs on both sides of the bank are high and dangerous, and the wind is urgent. The mountains of Baishou rise and fall one after another, and the endless rivers roll in, which is a beautiful scenery of mountains and rivers.
Witnessing this scene, Wu Geng's tense heartstrings relaxed, and the depression accumulated for many days was swept away.
Going down the river, it has been three days in the blink of an eye, and the ship is moored at a ferry. The boatman needed to buy some daily necessities, so Wu Gen and Chu Ji went ashore to get some local gas and replenish their supplies.
The ferry port is located at the foot of a green hill, with only a small open space, but there is a lot of cargo in it. This is a necessary place for ships to stop, and it is bustling with people coming and going, and it is quite lively.
Walking through the flow of people, a tea shop appeared in front of it, and there were already many people sitting in it. They were all businessmen, inquiring about the prices of goods from all over the world, exchanging information with each other, and some of them talked about each other's sleeves directly and talked about the price with each other's hands.
Wu Jian took Chu Ji to sit down, and the little guy watched with interest the people in the tea shop talking. Since I was a child, I have lived in the barren mountains, and the only people I can see are my grandfather and Mu Ji, so I like to go to a crowded place very much.
"Brother, why do they put their hands on their sleeves to talk about things, why isn't this the case when we sell white jade mushrooms." Chu Ji asked curiously.
Wu Gen smiled for a moment, and quickly put his finger on Chu Ji's mouth, "Drink tea and drink tea, this is the original appearance of doing business."
The two ordered a pot of black tea and tasted it slowly. In winter, this thing is the warmest for the stomach. After a pot of tea, Wu Jian took Chu Ji on the boat to pick up his luggage and walked to the back of the mountain. If the boat wants to stay here for a day, it is better to take the opportunity to go out and enjoy the scenery.
After the two of them left, two people in the tea shop also hurriedly got up.
Through the crossing, there is a narrow canyon in front of you, leading to the back of the mountain. The rock walls of the canyon are covered with moss, and some small trees with tenacious vitality have forced themselves out of the rock walls and staggered in the air, making the valley much darker.
Wu Yan pulled Chu Ji and walked through the canyon with a smile and a knife, cutting down the hanging vines from time to time. As soon as he passed the mouth of the canyon, Wu Gan's face suddenly changed, and he quickly pulled Chu Ji to turn over and hide behind a stone at the exit, and stretched out his hand to point to the road leading to the distance.
Chu Ji's eyes blinked, and he suddenly understood what his brother meant, and walked forward with a loud laugh.
It took less than a cup of tea
, two people appeared at the exit. One is fat and the other is thin, dressed in black and white linen, just like a businessman. It's just a high bulging temple, showing that the two are extraordinary.
The two of them walked out of the canyon and looked around for the source of the first sound. Just after walking a few steps, there was a sound of breaking the air behind him, and a broken knife fell from the sky, slashing at the thin man, and the person was killed on the spot without snorting.
The fat man was nimble, and when he felt that the situation was wrong, he didn't look behind him, and rolled straight forward. When he got up, he already had a money sword in his hand, and his eyes stared fiercely at Wu Gan, who was standing with the knife.
The fat merchant's expression was cold, "You are Wu Gan, hehe, if it weren't for that sentence of Bai Yushu, it would be really hard to confirm."
Wu Gan's face was calm, but the waves were rolling in his heart, "I didn't expect the mansion to catch up so quickly, how many of you are there."
"How many? Do you know that the prince has sent out all the secret guards, even the doormen and guards, boy, do you think you can escape?
Those who know each other, leave the nobles behind, tie them up by themselves, and follow me to see the prince, and I can't say that there will be a way to live. Otherwise, under the nets of heaven and earth, where can you little finch flee to, and suffer some flesh and skin." The fat man sneered, and the tip of his sword pointed at Wu Gan.
"Do you believe that?" Wu Yan sneered, "With such a big battle, there is only one way to die in the hands of Zhao Chang, so let's see the real chapter under our hands."
"Yes, go die." Before the fat man's words fell, his body shot towards Wu Yan like an arrow, and compared with his bloated body, his movements were not slow at all.
With a bang, the swords intersected. Wu Gantianluo's triple slash was instantly struck, blocking the opponent's attack, followed by the fourth slash, and the fifth slash were used one after another.
The first way is to use all your strength, and at this time I don't know how many pursuers there are, and it is really unwise to fight with the other party.
The fat man looked surprised, and the information handed by the house said that this person was only powerful in archery, but he didn't expect his sword skills to be so sharp.
There was a huge force on the arm, like a storm crashing on the shore, the tide and thunder rolling, and the bones of the shock hurt. Before he could react, a greater force came, and the sword forged with money made a tooth-aching creak, which was already unbearable. Immediately after that, another huge wave crashed, and the money sword finally fell apart with a bang.
The fat man was shocked, and sure enough, there was a doorway inside, no wonder he became a person who walked with him with a knife. The body retreated sharply, and with the spread of his hands, the scattered money suddenly rose into the air, and the scattered money hung in the air.
Wu Jian couldn't let the other party ease his cheeks at this time, and rushed forward with a knife, just below the money.
"Fall." As the fat man stopped drinking, more than a dozen thunderbolts fell in the formation composed of money. These money were refined by the fat man little by little, and there was thunder in it, and when he was caught off guard, Wu Yan was chopped to the ground.
Between the flashes of lightning, he tried to struggle to get up several times, but he was thundered and suppressed. Soon, his body was already in tatters, and the broken knife flew out of his hands.
"Looking for death, my Yang Lei is a martial artist, and if he doesn't die, he will be seriously injured." The fat man looked at Wu Gan who fell to the ground and said coldly.
