Between the mountains and rivers, there is a place where hundreds of families live, and there is a stream not far away.

On top of the Korean Butu, this place is called Daqin River.

At the end of the lower reaches of Daqin Creek is the Yingshui River.

Unlike other rivers, due to the topography, the Yingshui River did not flow to the Wei State and joined the Turbid River (Yellow River), but went directly to the Chu State, and would also pass through the Xiang fiefdom.

"Can you catch me a little fish?"

"I've dug up a few bugs, and I'd like to catch them for a while."

Several children were by the stream, watching one of them with a fishing rod, all looking forward to catching two big fish with the little worm in their hands.

Perhaps it is precisely because of such anticipation in my heart that the cold wind that is about to enter winter blows along the river, but there is no enthusiasm in the hearts of these children.

Fishing rod.

In this era, it is a rare and precious thing, and it is not very important whether a fishing rod is made of reeds or fine bamboo, the most important thing is to weave thread, copper hooks, and hairy feathers.

Most of the ordinary people live by the river, so they are willing to save their savings and buy a simple fishing rod.

However, there are very few people who can have such courage.

This is also why during the famine, countless people died of starvation.

"Mizuko, someone's coming!"

A child of about six years old turned his head to look at the road in the distance, where a carriage was moving, and then gently pushed the boy lying on the grass next to him.

The boy's face was covered with a large, simple straw hat, which slipped off under the child's pushing.

The face that caught my eye was Bai Yan, who had left Xinzheng before.

Leaving Xinzheng before, he rushed to Yangxi along the way, but Bai Yan did not stop in Yangxi, but passed by Yangzhen City directly and came to this Daqin River.

Here, Bai Yan has been waiting for two days.

In the past two days, Bai Yan had already made all the preparations, and put a bow and crossbow and a sharp sword ten miles away from the lower reaches of Daqin River.

Calculating the time and the journey, the little uncle should also take Xiang Liang to pass by Yangxi at this time.

"Mizuko, is that carriage the one you're waiting for?"

The child looked at Bai Yan curiously, at this moment, in the hearts of these children, this young boy named 'Shuizi' was not only good-looking, but also very kind, which made them like to be close.

The fishing rod was originally from the water, and when he saw that they had been watching from the side, he gave them a turn to fish.

"It's not!"

After Bai Yan got up, he looked at the carriage passing by in the distance, looked at the person in front of the carriage, sighed, and shook his head.

Then he got up and patted the hay and dirt behind him.

"Going!"

Bai Yan said to these children.

Hear the words.

"Mizuko, aren't you waiting for the person you are waiting for?"

The child holding the fishing rod puts it away and gives it to Mizuko.

Several children reluctantly looked at Shuizi, their eyes full of nostalgia.

At this moment, these children didn't know that Shuizi, who was kind and approachable in their eyes, was actually the Qin general who led nearly nine thousand Qin State iron horses, Bai Yan!

Bai Yan held the fishing rod and shook his head with a chuckle.

"Don't wait, they probably have left!"

Bai Yan said, looking at these children with a smile, being with these children for the past two days made him feel as carefree as when he was a child, no need to think about anything, what to worry about.

Daqin Creek.

Bai Yan took the fishing rod and turned to leave under the reluctant gaze of several children.

On the road to the state of Chu.

He was holding the horse rope and sitting in front of the carriage, waving the horse rope constantly.

Grunt~!

With the sound of wheels rolling, the carriage kept jolting, but Xiao Gu didn't dare to stop at this moment.

"Can Han pawn catch up?"

As he was rushing, a man lifted the curtain and asked about him, his eyes full of worry.

Looking inside the open curtain, I could see a man of about thirty years old, with a slight stubble on his face, and his face revealed a sickly paleness, sitting in the carriage with the movement of the carriage, his body shaking constantly.

Ahem~!

Accompanied by coughing.

Another man hurriedly supported him, turning his head to look at the valley outside the curtain, with a worried expression.

Before they arrived in Yangxi, they heard that Xinzheng had been broken by the Qin army, and Han Wang'an had surrendered to Qin.

After arriving in Yangxi, Xiao Gu once said that he noticed that a Han pawn saw him and left in a hurry.

is also like this, they don't dare to stay in Yangxi.

"I haven't seen it."

He didn't remember how many times he asked, and he was about to speak, but when he turned his head, he saw several Korean cavalrymen chasing them in the distance.

"Not good!"

Seeing this, the man who had just lifted the curtain also quickly turned his head to look at the back of the carriage.

"General, the Korean cavalry has come after you."

The man saw Han Qi chasing after him, turned his head and said to the man in the carriage.

Hearing this, the man who had been pale and closed his eyes opened his eyes in an instant.

Dressed in cloth clothes and holding a horse rope, Xiao Gu couldn't help but curse angrily at this moment.

"Tyrant villain. Before that, he also helped the general kill Bai Yu, and the Qin State just broke through Xinzheng, and the violent fortune turned his face and didn't recognize people. ”

Xiao Gu's voice fell.

Inside the carriage.

At this moment, Xiang Liang's eyes were opened, and his anger was not hidden at all.

The other two men glanced at each other, both a little worried, at this moment the general was seriously injured, and the carriage could not outrun Han Qi at all.

Grunt~!

Just as Xiang Liang and the two men were at a loss, after the carriage entered a valley, Xiao Gu hurriedly stopped the carriage.

"General Xiang, get off the carriage quickly, Storm Fu must know that I am riding in the carriage, know that there must be an extraordinary person in the car, Storm Fu knows me, I will go and lead Han Qi away."

The carriage slowly stopped, and Xiao Gu said anxiously to Xiang Liang.

Xiao Gu was telling Xiang Liang that he knew that he was the only one before, but now that he knew that he was riding in the carriage, he had already guessed his purpose, and the people in the carriage were not ordinary.

Violent Fu must want to arrest people and surrender to Qin.

"No."

Xiang Liang shook his head when he heard Xiao Gu's words.

As the son of Xiang Yan and a disciple of the Xiang family, Xiang Liang knew Xiao Gu under the Qu family a few years ago, and naturally knew that Xiao Gu was deeply trusted by the Qu family.

This time, he was bent on killing Bai Yu.

Now that the Qu family's disciple Xiao Gu came to save him, and the violent fortune also sent troops to chase after him, wanting to arrest him and surrender to Qin, how could he watch Xiao Gu die because of him.

"There is not much time, General Xiang should not refuse, if Xiao Gu can't get out this time, I still hope that General Xiang will return to Chu and take care of Xiao Gu's wife and children."

After Xiao Gu got out of the carriage, he said to Xiang Liang, when he mentioned his wife and children, he seemed to think that he might never see him again in the future, and his eyes were slightly red.

After speaking.

Xiao Gu didn't wait for Xiang Liang to speak, and looked at the two dead soldiers.

"I'm not good at martial arts, I know I, if I don't see me, I won't give up. The road back to Chu was not easy, so General Xiang entrusted the two. ”

Xiao Gu said, looking at the hesitation on the faces of the two dead soldiers, he bowed his hand: "Don't hesitate, Han Qi is about to catch up, since we are not afraid of death, now General Xiang is in danger, why not disobey?" ”

At this time, the two dead soldiers also understood what Xiao Gu meant, and understood that what Xiao Gu said was true.

Since he is a dead soldier who is not afraid of death, Xiang Liang is already in danger of being named, why should he worry about disobeying orders.

Xiang Liang was also shocked by Xiao Gu's words at this moment.

"General!"

"General!!"

The two dead men looked at Xiang Liang, bowed their hands, and then 'supported' the seriously injured Xiang Liang and stepped out of the carriage.

"General, farewell!"

Xiao Gu watched Xiang Liang get off the carriage, without the slightest hesitation, hurriedly got into the carriage, waved the horse rope, drove the carriage along the road, and began to gallop wildly.

Xiang Liang's eyes were red, and he watched the carriage leave quickly.

"Valley."

At this moment, Xiang Liang seemed to understand why Xiao Gu was deeply trusted by the Qu family.

Thinking of this, Xiang Liang's heart was full of guilt.

And this guilt gradually transformed into resentment against the violent blessing in my heart.

A moment later.

After running for several kilometers.

He rode in a carriage and galloped all the way to a familiar place, where he reined in the horse's rope.

Got out of the carriage.

According to the place where Yan'er hid his sword and crossbow before, he came to a bush by the river, and soon found the bow and crossbow and sword.

Back in the carriage.

He got into the carriage and waved the rope again, but this time, he took the bow and crossbow, grabbed the carriage, and after galloping with the carriage, he pulled the crossbow on the horses dragging the carriage.

Arrows flew out and hit the horse's thigh.

The horse screamed in pain, and the horse's legs were weak, and he only felt that the carriage was jolting in an instant, and the two wooden sticks under the carriage were broken in an instant, and even if he was prepared, he rolled to the ground in an instant.

He felt that his whole body was about to fall apart, but he still recognized the pain, got up with difficulty, and then picked up the bow and crossbow, and fired two more arrows at the horse.

Do it all.

He gritted his teeth again, took the sword, closed his eyes, and made a gap in his thigh.

"Hiss~!"

The severe pain made Xiao Gu's eyes widen, and the blue tendons on his forehead stood out.

Seeing that the wound on his leg continued to be bloody, Xiao Gu thought of Yan'er, thought of his wife and children, his breathing became more and more rapid, and then he took the sword, his heart was ruthless, and he gave a sword to his arm again.

As the blood fell to the ground, Xiao Gu picked up his bow and sword and ran towards the river, and as he ran, some of the blood fell on the grass.

until they came to the riverside and stood in the middle of the river.

He threw his bow and sword into the river, and then tied up his wound with his private clothes.

Then he stepped into the river and walked down, ready to go far away, and then find a place to hide.

In the ancient road, Bai Yan rode a horse, wearing a Han armor, and came to a stone pile on the side of the road, holding a roll of bamboo slips.

This bamboo slip was actually released by him two days ago, and he didn't let his cronies come with him at that time.

The matter of the little uncle is very important, he does not allow the slightest leakage, let alone a big fortune, even if his cronies will not tell him about it, he has not told it.

If he was riding a horse, he would ride in front for a while, and it would be the place where the little uncle would enter the river, and he would naturally not continue to walk forward with his cronies.

If there is no bamboo slip, go back like this, and the cronies will naturally be puzzled.

That's why he chose to be here and put the bamboo slips in advance, the purpose was to dispel the doubts of his cronies.

The content of the bamboo slip was actually written by him to Tyranny, so that Tyranny announced the surrender of Qin today.

Inside the ancient road.

Bai Yan pretended to glance at the contents of the bamboo slip, then put it away and tied it again.

"After going to Yangxi, give this bamboo slip to Gangfu, don't let Gangfu know that I am in Yangxi."

After Bai Yan rode the war horse, he turned the direction of the war horse and handed the bamboo slip to the cronies beside him.

"No!"

The cronies rode their horses, took the bamboo slips, and bowed their hands to Bai Yan.

Several of them naturally knew that the doctor came to Yangxi this time with the help of General Teng, and he came secretly, and he must not let anyone know.

"Hui Yang!"

Bai Yan ordered, then took the horse rope and gently lifted the horse's belly with his heels.

Accompanied by the war horse began to run.

The group rushed in the direction of Yang Xuan.
