Chuzhou City, the city wall in the southeast corner was blasted out of the Zhangxu gap by the Dongrong barbarians.

It was dark, and the clouds had not dispersed.

In the darkness, under a half-collapsed grass hut, two broken carriages were hidden.

Through the thatched gap, Xu stared at the crowd fleeing in a hurry.

"Brother Ku, aren't you going to leave now?"

Behind him, Hu Xiaodao asked in a whisper. Half of her body protected the thin woman who was a little shrunken behind her.

The thin woman's name is Qiu Niang, the daughter of the horseman of the old horse farm in Chuzhou. The old groom was forced to die because he owed Zhang Dahu money.

Qiu Niang also ended up in prison, and last year the official gave Hu Xiaodao.

The dowry was two lean horses, which this time happened to be used to pull the cart.

"The garrison is still in good spirits at this time, and the people who should have come have not come, wait." Xu said bitterly and looked back at the direction of Chuzhou Prison.

The fire in the inner courtyard of the secret prison is weakening, but it is still smoking.

Half an hour ago, he set fire to the courtyard with his own hands, and asked Su Mu to go to the garrison department to reprimand, saying that the demon was missing, and the garrison department sent people to search Chuzhou Prison and the surrounding streets and alleys.

Succeeded in offloading half of the forces guarding the breach in the wall.

Searching for people is much safer than guarding the city wall, and many old oil soldiers are vying to sign up.

The few recruits who were thrown off were obviously inexperienced, and the large number of homeless people who swarmed out did not check in detail.

A lot of usable baggage was carried out of the city.

"Isn't it all already that, ah, transfiguration? Who is waiting for? Hu Xiaodao was puzzled.

At first, he brought Qiu Niang to join Xu Ku. Seeing that the demon and the summer envoy were also in the courtyard, they almost came out with feces and urine.

How can you escape!

Regardless of identity, the stunning appearance of these two people will be targeted by unscrupulous people.

But the next scene made him, Wei Hongluan and the others so surprised that they couldn't keep their mouths together.

I saw Xu Ku and mud smeared faces.

Without a bronze mirror, he closed his eyes. There is no bamboo knife, so only fingers.

Think of yourself as a rough blank, mud, mud, mud, inlay, and open in one go.

The appearance is rapidly changing.

Although it is difficult to last with only these materials, I don't even dare to make too many facial expressions. But just talking about mixing out of Chuzhou City is enough.

Miraculous.

Xu Ku told everyone that this is called "disguise technique". There is no way, it cannot be said that this is called intangible cultural heritage.

The two girls who were a little resistant to the jar of mud were amazed, and both of them "put on makeup." ”

Under Xu Ku's smearing, Wei Hongluan pretended to be a country girl who had worked hard for many years.

The adobe is yellowish, with a dull complexion and a vegetable-looking complexion.

Bringing the small basket containing vegetables before, Xu Ku took out the short knife in his arms and put it in the frame, picked up some vegetable leaves and covered it, and covered it with a coarse cloth.

Su Mu changed into a woodcutter dress, and her face was painted with angular folds, looking like a.

Jin Yiwei's straight knife was wrapped in rags, pretending to be a firewood knife and inserted in the back basket.

The back basket is attached to the back, and there is also a small bracket specially made to fix the shoulder injury.

Su Mu's heart warmed, and he secretly praised Xu Ku's carefulness.

……

"Here we are."

Xu Ku motioned for everyone to be silent, and Qiu Niang also tightened the straw rope that tied the horse's mouth.

I heard a commotion behind the crowd, and the shouts of the horse team to open the way came, and in order to disperse the crowd, the whip was flashed.

Hu Xiaodao pointed at the whip man and said to Xu Ku: "This guy is the bastard who paid you two taels of silver that day, named Zhang Wang." ”

"Zhang Xing, the official who showed his sword with you at the gate of Chuzhou that day, is his cousin."

But then he reacted and said in disbelief: "Brother Ku, it won't be him who you have to wait for, right?" ”

Seeing Xu Ku shaking his head, Hu Xiaodao breathed a sigh of relief. The dark passage is fine.

As he spoke, Zhang Wang's horse team walked past the grass hut, revealing a three-passenger sedan chair behind him.

The curtain of the small sedan chair was lifted, and the middle-aged man who could see the gloomy but quite majestic inside.

Chuzhou, Zhang Dahu.

"Xia Envoy, you have a shoulder injury, but you can still use the blow arrow?" Xu Ku said to Su Mu, who was leaning on the side of the car.

The blow arrow was touched by Su Mu when he was changing his clothes, and he had a test shot, and his accuracy was very good.

"Nature." Su Mu's cold voice came.

Hu Xiaodao only felt his head buzz, "Bitter, bitter brother, what are you going to do?" ”

"What? Eliminate harm for the people and avenge Qiu Niang! Xu Ku's voice was steady, and he obviously thought deeply for a long time.

Hearing this, Qiu Niang's body trembled, and a layer of mist appeared in her eyes.

Revenge, I dream of it. What can you imagine? A prisoner girl, an official with a jailer, is fortunate not to be sold to the Qing Pavilion again.

"Qiu Niang, if you drive with all your might, how long will it take to get out of the city wall?" Xu Ku asked again.

Qiu Niang still didn't come back to her senses, and subconsciously said: "Twenty breaths." ”

"Set the horse, prepare the car."

Xu Ku said as he held the short dagger left by the porter gang that day in his hand and covered his face with a sackcloth.

"Xu Ku ......" Wei Hongluan called out to him, wanting to tell something, but he didn't know where to start. His eyes were full of worry.

Xu Ku's heart warmed.

"The prime minister should bow his head slightly and don't smile. This soil is shallowly painted, and it can't bury the posture after all. ”

Turning around, he blended into the crowd.

Wei Hongluan looked at the not tall back, and couldn't tell what it was like in his heart, and heard Hu Xiaodao muttering.

"This bitter brother is really different from the past."

The gap in the city wall was only so wide that it was finally blocked by the crowd of displaced people.

Zhang Dahu's team of open horses had more than a dozen horses, and they were squeezed on the right side.

No matter how you shake the whip to drive it away, it will be difficult to advance an inch.

"Incompetence! Rubbish! I can't cross Jinshuiwan before dawn, and I see how the old man rectifies it. ”

Seeing this, Zhang Wang had no choice but to sprinkle his anger on his own little guy.

But shouting and shouting, I felt a strong force coming from the bag on my back, and then my back was cold, crispy and warm.

Reaching out to touch it, his hands were full of blood. In a panic, he touched it again and took off the short dagger inserted in the huge bag.

The tip is half an inch into the flesh, which is only a small injury. But eighty percent of the grain in the bag flowed to the ground.

That's a lot of two buckets.

I don't know who in the crowd shouted that there was food, and the red-eyed homeless people gathered one after another, and squeezed the horses to the point that they were almost frightened.

What a big family, what a whip, food is life.

Burst! Burst! The sound came one after another, and several more servants were cut off their purses.

The crowd became denser and denser, and it was impossible to see the person who made the move in the darkness.

By the light of the torches of the garrison soldiers, Zhang Wang, who saw the short dagger style, roared angrily.

"Porter Gang, Chen Shenghong, Lao Tzu is inseparable from you!"

At this moment, on the left side, no one noticed, two carriages rushed out of the grass hut and galloped into the night through the gap.

lost the rations, and Zhang Wang was already colliding with Venus in front of him.

Suddenly, I heard a scream on the side of the small sedan car behind, mixed with the crying of the female dependent.

When he abandoned his horse and ran to him, he saw that his master's side neck was half-pierced by a five-inch copper needle.

Die with a grievance or everlasting regret.

……

"Slave, thank you for your kindness."

In the fifteen-mile depression outside Chuzhou City, Qiu Niang knelt down to Xu Ascetic, who had just returned, and the muddy water splashed on her knees wet her forehead.

Tears burst the embankment, and Qiu Niang wailed. It seems that he wants to pour out all these years of grievances and depression.

Xu Ku reached out to help, but was stopped by Hu Xiaodao.

"Brother Ku, you can bear this worship. From now on, my life is yours. ”

The tone is sincere and resolute.

In fact, Xu Ku felt a little ashamed in his heart.

He Xu Ku is not a compassionate person, and killing Zhang Dahu is not simply to avenge Qiu Niang.

In the final analysis, the official media marriage may be able to tie people, but it may not be able to tie the heart.

The road to escape is unpredictable, and the identities of Wei Hongluan and Su Mu must also be kept strictly secret.

Hu Xiaodao he can trust. But Qiu Niang had no choice but to add fire, but fortunately it did.

As smart as Wei Hongluan, he obviously knew why Xu Ku arranged it like this, and he didn't keep silent.

He only put his hand into the basket and touched it again and again on a bag next to the short knife.

"Don't talk nonsense, just keep your life for Daluan." Xu Ku shook off Hu Xiaodao's damp palm.

"Knife, are you willing to take off this jailer's clothes and be a soldier of Daluan."

Hu Xiaodao scratched his head and said, "I think I want to, I also signed up last year." But Captain Wu looks down on us and doesn't accept it. ”

Xu Ku took out the small bag given by Wei Hongluan in the morning.

Seeing that she did not object, but looked hopeful. So he took out a tael of silver from it and handed it to Hu Xiaodao.

"Then you are a soldier of the mountains, and these two are this month's salary. The paperwork will be supplemented later. ”

"Huh? Brother Ku, this is the salary? Are we so generous? Hu Xiaodao looked confused.

"The three armies can win the commandery, but the horseman cannot win the ambition. No matter how big Captain Wu's slap is, it will cover the sky with a foot wide. "Xu is hard to follow.

"Could it be that we just voted for Dubo?"

The more Hu Xiaodao thought about it, the more likely it became, the biggest one he had ever heard of was Dubo, otherwise where would he get a tael of silver.

But Xu Ku's words once again refreshed his cognition.

"Duber counts as an egg. We voted for the prime minister. ”

"From now on, you Hu Xiaodao is the knife-bearing guard of Prime Minister Daluan, from Jiupin."

Xu said with a bitter smile.
