Chapter 253: Entering the Border Pass
At the moment, Lu Yanqing and the four of them left Linxi City in a carriage, and even won many soldiers to see them off all the way.
After leaving Linxi City, Jin Houcheng rode his horse towards the border pass.
Before leaving, Lu Yanqing had already inquired with Qin Mian about the enemy's movements, and they had to enter the border pass where the enemy's attack was weak, otherwise it would be tantamount to luring a wolf into the house.
Two days later, Lu Yanqing and the four of them successfully arrived near the border pass, which was the place where the enemy's attack was relatively weak.
However, if you want to enter the city, you must move quickly, and you must not be overtaken by the enemy.
Therefore, Lu Yanqing planned to abandon the car and go on foot at night, so that it would not be easy to be discovered by the enemy, and their feet were faster than the horses' feet in short sprints, but their endurance was far inferior to that of horses.
After making some preparations, Lu Yanqing and the four of them secretly sneaked towards the border pass.
In a short time, Lu Yanqing and a few people had already bypassed the enemy camp, and they only needed to walk a few miles forward to reach the border pass under the city.
Just when Lu Yanqing thought that he had avoided the sight of the enemy army, suddenly a local soldier got up from the bushes in the distance and whispered to Lu Yanqing and the others: "Who are you?" Don't run! ”
Lu Yanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly, he didn't expect their luck to be so bad that they actually encountered an enemy army who was conveniently outside.
The shouts of the enemy attracted more enemy troops, and in a hurry, Lu Yanqing hurriedly beckoned to Su Yanrou on the side: "Quick! I'll carry you! ”
Su Yanrou didn't have time to think about it, so she lay on Lu Yanqing's back, and after Lu Yanqing put Su Yanrou on her back, she ran towards the border with Jin Houcheng and Ning Luoqiu, and the enemy army saw this situation and hurriedly rode their horses to catch up.
With the blessing of Confucianism, Lu Yanqing and Jin Houcheng's speed is not slow, while Ning Luoqiu seems to be very relaxed, her seven-grade Taoist cultivation is not in vain.
The journey that originally took a quarter of an hour to lurk was shortened to just a few minutes by Lu Yanqing and a few people.
At this time, the Dachu soldiers on the city wall also noticed the abnormality under the city wall, so they asked loudly: "Who is here?" ”
Lu Yanqing responded loudly: "Bad people are also!" ”
"Do you have a certificate?"
"There is a bad person's waist card as proof!"
At this time, the sky was dark, and even if Lu Yanqing took out the bad people's waist card, it was difficult for the soldiers on the city wall to distinguish it.
So Lu Yanqing hurriedly instructed Ning Luoqiu: "Luoqiu, you climb the city wall and let them verify their identity!" ”
This city wall is several zhang high, Lu Yanqing and Jin Houcheng can't go up at all with brute force alone, this kind of thing can only be done by Ning Luoqiu.
Ning Luoqiu bowed slightly, and then luck flew towards the city wall.
Seeing this, the Da Chu soldiers did not stop him, because he had greeted Chu Ying during the day, and the soldiers also learned the news that bad people would enter the city.
After only a few breaths, Ning Luoqiu flew to the city wall and showed the soldiers the bad man waist card.
After verifying Ning Luoqiu's identity, the Da Chu soldiers slowly opened the city gate, and at the same time used bows and arrows to cover Lu Yanqing and the others, delaying the speed of the enemy's cavalry pursuit.
In the end, Lu Yanqing was entered into the city unscathed by Su Yanrou and Jin Houcheng, and the cavalry who took the chase not only suffered heavy losses, but also failed to chase into the city, so he had no choice but to leave in disgrace.
After entering the city, Lu Yanqing hurriedly put Su Yanrou down, gasping for breath, these few miles of wild running were somewhat unbearable for Lu Yanqing, and Jin Houcheng was the same.
At this time, Su Yanrou's face was slightly red, and she fiddled with her fingers a little shyly, if it weren't for the crimson torch to cover her, her delicate face would definitely be seen by Lu Yanqing.
The soldiers guarding the city were very polite to Lu Yanqing and the four of them, not only arranged food and accommodation for Lu Yanqing and the four of them, but even arranged the carriage for the journey.
But time was pressing, and Lu Yanqing didn't plan to rest here, so he rode his horse and continued to walk towards Chu Jingcheng.
In the evening of the next day, Lu Yanqing and the four finally arrived around Chu Jingcheng.
Lu Yanqing planned to go back to Yuxi Academy first, after all, the two daughters were already waiting for him at home, how could he live up to the kindness of the two daughters, and Ning Luoqiu on the side also said that he wanted to return to Yuxi Academy.
When Marquis Cheng heard this, he expressed his understanding, so he left with Su Yanrou, and he sent bad people to escort Su Yanrou back to Yaozang Valley.
After saying goodbye to Su Yanrou, Su Yanrou was taken away by Jin Houcheng.
Thinking that after Jin Houcheng arrived in Chujing City and arranged Su Yanrou's affairs, he would definitely arrive at the scene of the crime as soon as possible.
Lu Yanqing is still very confident in Jin Houcheng's ability to investigate cases, but he is limited by his knowledge and way of thinking.
If Jin Houcheng is helpless about this, it will not be too late for Lu Yanqing to go to investigate the case, and if he is too anxious, he will ignore some tiny clues.
When I returned to Yuxi Academy, I saw that the two girls were already waiting in the courtyard, while Li Sisi was cooking dinner.
Lu Yanqing took a bath under the service of Mo Wanyan and Chu Qiongxi, as the so-called: Xiao Don't win a new love, Lu Yanqing will inevitably be a little uncontrollable, and the two girls have no choice but to follow Lu Yanqing.
It wasn't until Li Sisi came to knock on the door that the three of them stopped.
Although there are still some unfinished things, there is time for the long night, and there is no hurry.
The three of them walked out of the door and saw Ning Luoqiu sitting at the stone table, looking at Lu Yanqing with a resentful expression; And Li Sisi looked at the three of them with a look that I understand, which made the three of them very embarrassed.
After eating, Lu Yanqing and the two daughters couldn't wait to return to the room, while Li Sisi and Ning Luoqiu sat in the courtyard to exchange cooking skills, and did not leave until late at night.
In the middle of the night, Lu Yanqing hugged the two girls and talked about what they had seen and heard along the way, which seemed to have become the norm after Lu Yanqing came back.
Although Lu Yanqing did not mention any dangers encountered along the way, the two women knew that Lu Yanqing just didn't want to worry about them.
"Lu Lang, I will talk to my father and ask him not to send you next time."
Chu Qiongxi knew that Lu Yanqing was not good at refusing Chu Ying's will, so he said indignantly.
Lu Yanqing couldn't help but smile bitterly when he heard this, and said loudly: "Qiongxi, my identity is quite special, it is not difficult to understand that your father will let me do some things, and some things can only be done by me, and others may not be able to do them." ”
After this trip, Lu Yanqing felt deeply about it, some things seemed to be coincidences, but they were undoubtedly in Chu Ying and Pei Jingming's calculations.
If you change to someone else, you may not be able to successfully complete Chu Ying's will.
"Then I can't always send you there, no, I'm going to talk about him."
Chu Qiongxi showed her wayward side and did not intend to listen to Lu Yanqing's advice.
Although he understood the truth in Lu Yanqing's words, Chu Qiongxi just regarded Lu Yanqing as her future husband, so how could she want to put Lu Yanqing in danger?
