On the deep mountain trail, Li Chengqian, who was in rags again, appeared. Relying on the map of Youzhou prepared for him by Cui Ning'er, he was able to touch the mountain and country roads all the way and avoid all the pursuers. It's a pity that he doesn't know that it is not the gangsters chasing him behind him, but his own people. It can hurt the inner servant Lao Gao and the secret guards.

"According to the map, you can't go to the northeast anymore, and you will go to Youzhou again. Go out of the mountain in front, go to the official road town to replenish it, and then you can turn to the west, cross the Reed Ze Pass, and go straight to Taiyuan. After all these days, they shouldn't be able to find me. ”

Thinking so, Li Chengqian simply cleaned up the clothes on his body, tried not to look so embarrassed, and walked boldly to the Mullet Town in front.

The next day, a group of people came to Mullet Town, led by the old servant Gao who was full of vicissitudes of life. I originally thought that I would finally be able to make a deal this time, but I didn't expect to find anyone for half a month, and Lao Gao wondered more than once, is it because the pursuers of the Zheng and Lu families have not been killed? Got preempted by them? Or did the prince feed the tigers and leopards in the mountains?

After a lot of effort, thousands of people were mobilized to scatter out, and finally two days ago, clues were found in the mountains and forests, and they tracked them down and chased them to this mullet town.

There are not many shops selling food and drink in the town, just three, and the prince will definitely eat and drink when he passes by. So soon Lao Gao took the portrait and inquired.

"Shopkeeper, are you sure you're right? Ever seen this kid? ”

At a stall selling flax cakes, Lao Gao's voice trembled slightly.

The shopkeeper stared at him again for a long time, "That's right, it's him." It's just ......"

"But what? Shopkeeper, you can't be sloppy, if you have anything to say, it won't treat you badly. The secret guard next to him directly threw a tael of silver over.

Lao Su hurriedly picked up the silver and said with a smile: "Thank you for the reward of a few masters." It's not that villains are greedy for money. This portrait is very similar. It's just that the child I saw yesterday was in tatters, like a beggar. But there is no portrait of the son above. ”

The elder of the chamberlain sighed, "Okay, it's just him." It's been half a moon in the mountains, and it's good to be alive, not to mention clothes. Shopkeeper, in which direction did this kid go? ”

The shopkeeper was warm-hearted, and he could see that the person in front of him seemed to be in a hurry to find someone, as anxious as if he had lost a child at home, so he stopped being verbose and told everything he knew.

The boy seemed to be on a long journey, and bought twenty sheets of flax cakes with the old man in one go. I packed a drum and went northeast. Probably going to Youzhou City. ”

This is the wrong way, the northeast direction is just out of the town, but not necessarily to Youzhou City.

The waiter Lao Gao muttered: "Yes, Master Hou was wrong, the little boy may also go to Youzhou and defect to the firewood horse." ”

"Thank you shopkeeper, if you find my young master, you will definitely be paid." Throwing down a tael of silver again, Lao Gao arched his hand to leave.

A passing leather merchant spoke enthusiastically, "Are you looking for the child in this painting?" Then I don't think it's in vain, I can't find it. ”

Lao Gao's face was cold, and he turned to look at the person who came, the person felt a slight cold neck for no reason, and turned his head to look, good guy, a sharp short knife was already on his neck.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Have you seen my young master? ”

"No, no......" the man shuddered with fright.

"None? Didn't you curse my young master? Look for death! "As you speak, you have to do it.

The old man at the flax cake stall had the courage to shout: "Don't do it, don't do it, this is the town's leather merchant Chen Pi, a good person." Chen Pi, if you know something, say it quickly, this is someone's adult, the child is lost, and he is looking for the child. ”

The inner chamberlain waved his hand, and the dark guard put away the short knife.

The fur merchant trembled and said what he saw yesterday, "I just came back from selling leather goods yesterday, and before I entered the town, I saw someone taking flowers on the official road over there." The young man was painted, and it seemed that he would still have a little punch and kick, but he couldn't stand the crowd of the other party, and after a while, he was knocked unconscious and put in a sack, and tied up in a carriage. ”

"I wanted to call for help, but they were so numerous that they all had guys, so they ......"

"By the time I got back to the town to find someone to go again, I couldn't catch up, and the traffickers were long gone."

What??? Is this true? Are you sure you read that right, it's my young master?

Lao Gao is not calm, seeing that the young master is in front of him, he has been searching for many days, and he has been out of Chang'an City for a month, and he immediately caught up with him, and something went wrong again!

The leather merchant pointed to the exit northeast of Mullet Town and said, "If you don't believe it, you can see for yourself, the flax cake was scattered all over the ground at that time, and now I don't know if there is any evidence." ”

With this person and the flax cake boss, everyone came to the scene of the incident, and sure enough, they found clues, scattered with dots of sesame seeds, "That's right, this is the sesame seeds that fell from my flax cake." ”

Lao Gao said hatefully: "It's a step too late!" Let's go, we'll chase! ”

As he spoke, he turned and walked back.

The fur merchant hurriedly stopped, "Hey, it's wrong, it's wrong, I didn't go to the south, I went to the northeast, it seems to be going to Youzhou." ”

Well? Are you sure?

"Sure, there are almost twenty of them, so they ran past me and ran in the direction of Youzhou, absolutely right."

Lao Gao frowned and said: "If it is someone from the direction of Luoyang, you should go back to Luoyang if you arrest someone." How did you go to Youzhou? ”

The dark guard guessed: "My lord, could it be that he is not from Luoyang?" The people of Luoyang were all killed by us. Is it other forces? ”

Lao Gao's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, "Other forces? Youzhou is our territory, and their hands have been chopped off once...... Unless, not good! Let's go, go to Youzhou. ”

He suddenly had a bad guess, Youzhou is not necessarily the hand of the five surnames and seven wangdong, Youzhou is a border area, mixed with fish and dragons, and it may be kidnapped by foreign people.

Although the other party may not know the identity of the prince, it is possible that he is a human trafficker and a flower shooter...... What if the crown prince was sold as a slave to Goguryeo? Khitan, Turkic ...... It's over, then you can't redeem yourself!

Lao Gao guessed correctly, he is indeed not from Luoyang.

It's also Li Chengqian's idea that is too back. Where is the supply not possible? Do you have to be in this Mullet Town? And as soon as I had eaten a full meal and bought dry food and water, I almost turned back along the map. But he met an acquaintance in Mullet Town.

It was none other than the fourth child of the Goguryeo caravan who had kidnapped him in the first place.

At the beginning, the people of the Goguryeo caravan sold their supplies cheaply and took the path instead. In order to be safe, the leader also asked the fourth child in the team to go to Youzhou for help. Youju also had other Goguryeo caravans, and the number was even larger.

It's a pity, people are not as good as heaven, and when the fourth child brought people back to respond, he didn't see his caravan all the way. In the end, he followed the route to the mountains west of Luoyang and saw the corpse of his caravan brother, and the fourth child knew that he had missed.

So he was unwilling to return to Youzhou with manpower, don't think about this great achievement, the caravan is gone, and you have to think about how to make a living in the future.

But coincidentally, when the fourth and his party walked to Mullet Town, a familiar figure came into view, and the fourth rubbed his eyes, isn't this a meat ticket? How? He escaped, but did not return to Chang'an?

Hahaha...... God has eyes, and it takes no effort to get it.

So Li Chengqian planted it in such a daze. Sheep in the mouth of the tiger again. Going around and around, I may really want to go to Goguryeo to be a proton.
