Cheng Huan and Fan Yuzhi led 3,000 guards of the lineage, bypassed the rear army, and fled towards the junction of Qin and Zhao.

"Master, our army seems to have been defeated." Cheng Huan has recovered a little, and said in a panic.

"The army is mixed with fine work, and I am too careless." Fan Yuqi said, "Fortunately, I left in time, otherwise it would have been dangerous." ”

"I heard that Wang Ben and Yingcheng set up an ambush, I don't know where it will be." Cheng Huan said.

Fan Yuqi looked up and said, "Don't take the official road, take the small road, and enter the territory of Zhao State by water." ”

Three thousand men and horses left the official road and entered the path.

The trail was not very wide or smooth, and the pace of the march slowed down.

The roar of the main battlefield gradually faded away, and Wang Qian's main army did not seem to chase after him.

"Master, how far is this from the border of Zhao State?" Cheng Huan asked.

"About two hundred miles." Fan Yuqi said.

"Two hundred miles?" Cheng Huan was taken aback, "At this rate, wouldn't it take three or four days to walk?" ”

"There should be people sent by Zhao Guo waiting for us in front, they know the route." "If you take the waterway, you can not only save the distance, but also bypass the possible ambush location. ”

"Master, where will there be an ambush?" Cheng Huan asked.

As soon as the words fell, I heard a whoosh, and an arrow feather shot into the neck of the horse ridden by the lieutenant general next to Cheng Chan.

"There's an ambush!" Fan Yuzhi said in a loud voice, "Quickly pass through here, and use shields on both sides to protect you." ”

Suddenly, the sound of killing rang out in the sky.

The general, who had been shot at the horse, shrank over, stood up, and said, "The lord will go first, and we will be cut off." ”

"Leave you half of the men and horses, and you will definitely hold off the pursuers." Fan Yuqi said.

Half of the men behind stopped, picked up their longbows, and drew their feathers.

These sergeants knew very well that they were using their lives to buy time for Cheng Chan and Fan Yuzhi to escape.

Cheng Chan looked back at the soldiers who sacrificed their lives to die, with mixed feelings in his heart, and tears were already rolling in his eyes.

Fan Yuzhi didn't even look back, hurried up, and hurried to break through.

The shouts of killing were left behind, and the remaining 1,500 men and horses escorted Cheng Chan and Fan Yuzhi to run at full speed.

I don't know how long I ran, the sky darkened, and everyone didn't dare to rest, but the speed slowed down.

"The ambush soldiers should be one of Wang Ben or Yingcheng." Fan Yuzhi said to Cheng Chan, "Presumably, the other team will also be ambushed somewhere, not to mention that there are chasing soldiers in the rear, let's hurry overnight." ”

Cheng Chan nodded, obviously still in a state of panic.

Although it was a night march, he did not dare to light a torch, so he could only rely on the moonlight to move forward.

It wasn't until midnight that Fan Yuzhi chose a sheltered woods for the team to rest and adjust, and at the same time sent a number of sentry posts, and finally reached dawn.

Continuing to set off, the march was speeding up again.

After walking some more distance, two horses appeared in front of them, and the men on the horses could not see their faces clearly, but they were waving their arms.

"Presumably Zhao Guo's guide is here to answer it." Fan Yuzhi whispered, and then sent a herald to investigate.

A short time later, the herald returned to the group with two men.

These two people were indeed envoys sent by Zhao State to answer Fan Yuzhi.

"General Fan, several roads leading to the State of Zhao have been blocked by Wang Ben." One of them said.

The other said: "The Zhao army is no longer able to send sergeants to meet them, so we can only lead General Fan to evacuate by water. ”

Fan Yuzhi looked at Cheng Chan in a trance, but he didn't bother to discuss anything more, and asked Zhao Guo's guide directly: "How to go to the waterway?" ”

"You need to enter the mountain range from here, take the mountain road, bypass the second mountain range from the valley, follow the river to the mouth of the boundary river, and after crossing the river, it is the territory of Zhao State." One of the guides said.

As soon as the words fell, only an arrow was heard, and it directly shot the Zhao State guide who had just spoken.

Everyone subconsciously bent down and looked vigilantly at the hills on both sides.

The tense breath overwhelmed people, but there was no movement of the pursuers from the hill.

------------

In the hill, Yingcheng asked the herald beside him: "Who shot this arrow?" ”

The herald shook his head, indicating that he did not know.

"Now that they have been alerted, I will give the order to kill all those soldiers." Yingcheng ordered.

The herald gave his hand and stood up and waved the flag.

In order to capture Cheng Chan and Fan Yu period alive, Ying Cheng deliberately arranged two groups of ambush soldiers on each route to consume Cheng Chan's guards, and then rounded up when the guards were exhausted, so as not to hurt Cheng Chan and Fan Yuzhi's lives as much as possible.

As for the two guides of Zhao State, they had already been discovered by the secret sentinel, so Ying Chengcai personally led the troops to ambush here, but I don't know who released a cold arrow, so that Ying Cheng had to attack in advance.

"Let's go!" Fan Yuzhi shouted urgently, and then ran towards the mountain road with another Zhao guide.

In Fan Yuzhi's eyes, this Zhao State guide is far more valuable than Cheng Chan.

Before the Guards could move their horses, a round of arrows devoured them like locusts.

The shield can block arrows, but it can block the left and not the right, and the people and horses cannot be blocked.

Suddenly, another group of people turned on their backs.

But the Guards are not ordinary soldiers after all, and after the horses are shot, most of them roll on the ground, and then find suitable cover and wait for the opportunity to counterattack.

There were only 100 people left who were not shot, urging the horses to move forward quickly, escorting Cheng Chan and Fan Yuzhi to gallop forward.

On the mountain, Yingcheng gave an order, strangled all the guards, and then personally led a hundred sergeants to pursue them.

Running wildly all the way, the remaining Zhao State guide pointed to a big stone in front of him and said: "General Fan, behind that big stone is the mountain road into the mountain range, keep walking, you can see the river." ”

As soon as the words fell, an arrow galloped and shot through the head of the Zhao guide.

Fan Yuzhi stared straight at the corpse that fell off the horse, and roared angrily in his heart: Who is it!?

Without thinking about it, Fan Yuzhi pulled the reins of Cheng Cheng and quickly ran towards the big stone.

The guards behind did not move, but all drew their swords.

The sergeant major at the head had a resolute look in his eyes and said in a loud voice: "Lord, General Fan, there are still ambushes here, let us stay and resist, so as to escort the lord on his last journey." ”

Cheng Chan looked back at the sergeant major, his eyes extremely complicated.

Fan Yuzhi didn't pay attention to it, and continued to pull Cheng Chan to run forward quickly.

Bypassing the boulder, a mountain road stretched up the mountain, and Fan Yuzhi pulled Cheng Chan and plunged into it.

As they approached the mountainside, the road became steep and overgrown with weeds, so the two abandoned their horses and marched on foot.

I don't know how long I walked, but it was getting dark again, the mountain road was getting harder and harder, and the food I brought with me was almost exhausted.

Cheng Chan couldn't walk anymore, so he leaned against a tree and gasped for breath to rest.

Fan Yuzhi also sat on a stone to rest.

"Master, I really can't walk." Cheng Chan said.

"If you can't walk, you have to walk." Fan Yuqi said, "Hold on a little longer, and when you reach the border of Zhao Kingdom, you will be safe." ”

"The mountains and rivers are exhausted, and we are lost here, and there are chasing soldiers behind us, will we die here?" Cheng Chan muttered.

"Phew!" Fan Yuqi took a sip, "What do you want to do, we have a big life." ”

At this moment, there was some noise ahead.

Rustling...... Rustling......

Fan Yuzhi instinctively picked up his sword, stood up, and made defensive movements.

Cheng Huan didn't make much movement, just looked around.

Sou......

An arrow came from the side, and Fan Yuzhi instinctively slashed with his sword.

The arrow was blocked and flew sideways, and at the same time, a black shadow flew in.

A cold light swept in, and the target was the sword in Fan Yuzhi's hand.

......

The saber in Fan Yuzhi's hand was knocked off by a sword, spun and crashed into a nearby tree, and fell to the ground.

In the next moment, the sword in the black shadow's hand was already placed on Fan Yuzhi's neck.

Maybe it was too tired, maybe it was hunger, Fan Yuzhi, who was famous for his martial arts, was subdued in an instant.

The man holding the sword in his hand was a man in black, none other than Jing Liang, who had changed his name to Jing Ke.

"Who is a hero?" Although Fan Yuzhi was controlled, he asked quite calmly.

"Who are you?" Jing Ke asked.

"We are soldiers of the Qin State, and we have gone to the Zhao State to capture the assassins." Fan Yuzhi said calmly.

"Assassins?" The corners of Jing Ke's mouth rose slightly, and he said, "Are you arresting the assassin, or are the assassins arresting you?" ”

Fan Yuqi looked at Jing Ke coldly and did not say anything.

"Barren mountains and wild mountains, looking at the clothes of the two of you, they are not ordinary sergeants." Jing Ke still said with a smile on the corner of his mouth, "If you guess correctly, Your Excellency is General Fan." ”

Hearing the other party call himself a general, Fan Yuzhi suddenly felt a little confident in his heart, and said: "Yes, in Xia Fan Yuzhi, dare to ask the knight, is it an enemy or a friend?" ”

"Hahaha......" Jing Ke laughed and put away his sword, "Sure enough, it's General Fan." ”

Fan Yuzhi was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face: "Could it be that Your Excellency knows the old man?" ”

Jing Ke bowed his hand and said: "In Xia Jing Ke, I like to travel around the world, a few days ago I committed a life in Xianyang, so I wanted to leave the Qin State, which Cheng wanted to go here, but encountered a war." After inquiring, I learned that it was General Fan and Chang'an Jun who were opposing the unscrupulous King of Qin, which was really happy. ”

"Alas......" Fan Yuzhi sighed, "It's a pity that I couldn't defeat that Wang Jian in the next place, and I ended up like this." ”

Jing Ke looked at Cheng Huan, who was still leaning against the tree, and asked, "Presumably, this is Chang'anjun." ”

"Exactly." Fan Yuzhi said, "Chang'anjun is unwilling to be defeated, so he is a little abnormal. I want to take it to Zhao in order to make a comeback. ”

"Zhao Guo?" Jing Ke said, "Coincidentally, I was about to go to Zhao State." ”

"Do you know the route to Zhao Kingdom?" Fan Yuzhi asked.

"Of course, otherwise, it's not a joke to let Qin Jun catch him back." Jing Ke said seriously.

"Then it's better to go together, okay?" Fan Yuqi said.

"That's good, of course. However......" Jing Ke wanted to speak and stopped.

"But what?" Fan Yuzhi asked.

"Your Excellency has to agree on the next condition." Jing Ke said.

"What are the conditions?" Fan Yuzhi asked.

"Well, you'll know then." Jing Ke said with a light smile.

"As long as it is brought into the Zhao Kingdom, I will agree to any conditions." Fan Yuqi said.

"Good!" Jing Ke took out some dry food from his arms, "I'm hungry, eat some dry food, and I'll be on the road tomorrow." ”

Fan Yuzhi swallowed his saliva hard.

In the afternoon of the next day, the three of them went around two mountains and came to a small river, and followed the river to the opposite side of a large river that was quite wide.

There is a very small boat by the river, which can only accommodate two people to cross the river.

"Take a boat to the other side of the river, and it is the territory of Zhao State." Jing Ke said, "The request I want to make is the two of you, and only one person can go to Zhao Country with you." ”

Fan Yuzhi's face was shocked, but he didn't question it, because the boat was indeed too small to accommodate two people.

The three men came to the side of the boat.

Jing Ke asked, "Have you thought about it, which one to go?" ”

Fan Yuzhi looked at Cheng Huan, and then said: "Cheng Huan, you have to wait here for the old man to come back with the troops, and these dry foods will be left to you." ”

Cheng Huan looked at Fan Yuqi and said, "Master, go ahead, I'll wait for you here." ”

Fan Yuqi said lightly: "Since this is the case, then the old man will take the first step." ”

Saying that, Fan jumped on the boat with a leap.

Jing Ke jumped on the boat, and after glancing back at Cheng Chan, he rowed the boat.

Looking at Fan Yuzhi's distant back, Cheng Huan sat there and didn't move for a long time.

I don't know how long later, footsteps sounded behind Cheng Huan.

The pursuers have been reached.
