The battleship that appeared on the shore of the Han River was indeed the naval army under the command of Bao Yuchun, to be precise, it was the Purple Eagle of the 13th Battalion of the 6th Town of the Second Banner.

Originally, Bao Yuchun's troops implemented a key blockade along the south bank of the river to prevent Li Bing's soldiers and horses from moving south. However, when Lao Jianhua heard the news that the Yizhou court was about to move, he immediately notified Bao Yuchun and asked him to divide his troops to attack Hanshui and prevent the court officials from going north.

Bao Yuchun knew that this matter was not trivial, so he ordered the warships of the sixth town of the navy to set off from Wuchang County, Ezhou, and go upriver along the Han River, blocking and intercepting the migration team of the imperial court along the way.

The Purple Eagle that Murong Xue and the others encountered was one of them, and it was also the one that ran the farthest.

Seeing that the road was blocked by the rebels, Liu Yanru and the others were immediately anxious: if they knew this, it would be better to follow the brigade to cross the river from Xiangcheng.

Murong Xue persuaded them that Xiangcheng was located downstream of Gucheng, so although everyone would take a detour and delay some time, they might not necessarily be able to cross the river smoothly. Perhaps the downstream was already blocked by the navy earlier.

"What should I do then?" Liu Yanru said hurriedly: "General Murong, think about countermeasures, the emperor is still waiting for us." ”

Murong Xue looked at Yuan Bin helplessly, Yuan Bin thought for a while, and said, "Anyway, let's replace this outfit on my body first." Wearing military uniforms, the other party doesn't need to say let us go, he has to take us down first. ”

Murong Xue nodded, fortunately, the car was equipped with ordinary people's civilian clothes, and it was easy to change.

Yuan Bin reminded again that it was best to hide the accompanying war horses. On the one hand, the hind legs of the war horses are branded with fire marks, which are easy to identify; On the other hand, the saddle and bridle are also the standard equipment of the Holy Tang Army, and they cannot be faked.

Murong Xue knew that he was very experienced as an agent of the Intelligence Department, so he hurriedly ordered his subordinates to do what Yuan Bin said.

After a while, Liu Yanru, Ma Yunfang, and Murong Ling changed their outfits one after another, and changed from Shengtang Xiaobing to ordinary village girls.

Yuan Bin looked at them, shook his head, and leaned into Murong Xue's ear and said, "It's still not appropriate." The three nobles are so beautiful, with fine skin and tender meat, they are the ladies of the big family at first glance. Not to mention them, even the three maids are white and clean, not at all like the girls in the village. ”

"What then?" Murong Xue had a headache.

Yuan Bin smashed his mouth and whispered: "According to me, you have to put some mud and dirt on your face to make it dirty, anyway, it can't be too good-looking." ”

Murong Xue said in her heart: You kid are trying to kill me? They will either be queens or princesses in the future, and they are so tossed by me today, how can they calculate this account when they look back?

"Is there no other way?"

Yuan Bin smiled: "Unless you take a detour, if you want to pass through the ferry, you can only try to deceive the sailors." ”

Murong Xue shook her head helplessly, and said to Liu Yanru and the others: "Three nobles, we have two choices now. The first is to continue to go upstream, bypassing the big lake on the other side of the Danjiang estuary, so that you will have to walk more than 100 miles. The second is to pretend to be ordinary people and cross the river from the ferry in front. You say, "How do you choose?" ”

"Do you need to ask?" Liu Yanru said: "Why bother to seek the near and far? ”

"If you go to the Gucheng ferry, you have to make preparations," Murong Xue said, "You need to smear some mud and dirt on your face, and make your hair unkempt, otherwise you won't be able to deceive the enemy's eyes." ”

Hearing this, Liu Yanru and Murong Ling were stunned on the spot.

Ma Yunfang seemed very obedient, she said hello to the maid, and then started to operate separately. As they tossed their hair apart, they grabbed the dead grass on the ground and sprinkled it on their heads, and then pulled it vigorously with both hands, and immediately became as if they had just finished working in the field.

Yuan Bin sighed, then took off the kettle at his waist, mixed some thin mud with the soil on the side of the road, and let Ma Yunfang and the others smear it on their faces.

"This mud will dry in a while, which can play a role in masking," Yuan Bin smiled, "It's best to rub some more on your eyelids." People's spirits are in the eyes, and the shape of the eyes is changed with mud, and sometimes even familiar people are deceived. ”

Ma Yunfang nodded, and as he said, wiped the wet mud near her eyes and cheeks.

Murong Ling was dumbfounded beside him. She looked back at Murong Xue and saw that her eldest brother was nodding slightly at herself, so she bit her lip and said to Xi'er, "You come to help me get it." ”

Xi'er agreed, followed Ma Yunfang's example, and sorted it out for Miss.

After a while, Murong Ling's master and servant were also in a state of disgrace like Ma Yunfang.

Murong Xue took a closer look at it on the side, and nodded with satisfaction: "It's really completely different from before, it's really not easy to recognize at first glance." ”

Yuan Bin picked up a handful of loess with both hands, and raised it on the bodies of the four people: "You pat it with your hands, and there are some soil marks on your clothes, which is more natural." ”

Murong Ling had never had such an experience, and after breaking through the psychological defense, he felt very funny and couldn't help but giggle.

Murong Xue turned to look at Liu Yanru: "Noble Liu, you are also ......"

"I don't!" Liu Yanru said angrily: "After the dignified willow gate, I read poetry and books, and I can't do such a thing!" ”

When Ma Yunfang heard her say this, there was anger in her eyes, but she endured it after all and didn't say anything.

Murong Ling was not happy: "Hey, who do you say?" Isn't this to hide from the rebels? ”

Liu Yanru glared at her and snorted, "Unkempt, what kind of body is it?" ”

"Can you figure it out?" Murong Ling retorted: "It's better than being caught by the enemy, right?" Aren't you also in a hurry to cross the river? What else is grinding? ”

Liu Yanru was already in a hurry, but she was scolded by Murong Ling, and couldn't help but be even more angry: "What is your identity?" Dare to talk to me like that! Don't forget, I'm the Queen! ”

Murong Ling pouted: "You haven't gotten married yet, you're not the queen." Maybe when Emperor Er sees you, he will have to consider a replacement. ”

"Ling'er, don't be rude!" Murong Xue hurriedly reprimanded: "Cheng Tian is talking nonsense, hurry up and apologize to Liu Guiren." ”

Murong Ling also knew that he had lost his words just now, so he grimaced at the eldest brother, and then said to Liu Yanru: "I'm sorry, Liu Guiren, I said the wrong thing just now, and I will compensate you." ”

Liu Yanru burst into tears at this time, and said reluctantly: "Don't you just have a big brother?" Is there no one in my mother's family who bullied me? ”

Yuan Bin watched this scene from the side, feeling angry and funny. He stepped forward and said deliberately to Murong Xue, who looked embarrassed: "General, the information sent by Shen Changshi says that Lao Jianhua ordered those assassins to not only take their lives, but also take their innocence once they catch the three nobles. If you make such a fuss now, you will soon be discovered by the enemy. ”

As soon as this statement came out, it really worked.

When Liu Yanru heard that those assassins were going to defile her, she was so frightened that she didn't even dare to cry.

Murong Xue sighed secretly in her heart, and said in a deep voice: "Liu Guiren, there is a danger now, if you really don't care, then you can lose your temper and make trouble casually." But if you want to see the emperor safely, you must listen to us. ”

The maid of the Liu family is a clever person, and when she saw this, she hurriedly persuaded her young lady to dress up quickly, and just go back and find a place to freshen up.

Liu Yanru had no choice but to endure the nausea and ask the maid to help mess up her hair and face, close to the appearance of the village girl and peasant woman.

Seeing that the six girls were all cleaned up, Yuan Bin instructed the four pro-soldiers to try their best to bend their bodies, not to stand up straight, and to walk in a tiger's style, everyone is now a countryman who sells grain, don't let the enemy see through it.

Murong Xue also grabbed her hair loosely, took a broken straw hat from the car, and directly buckled her head. Then he rolled up his trouser legs, jumped on the frame, and said, "Go!" ”

The group squeaked along the dirt road to the Gucheng ferry. At this time, the wharf was full of light infantry wearing naval uniforms, checking the merchants and people who were going to cross the Han River one by one.

Yuan Bin walked in front of the four ox carts and was responsible for opening the way. When it was his turn to investigate, a naval colonel stopped him and asked about the identities of several people.

Yuan Bin was not in a hurry, and told the other party that he was a person from Dengzhou on the other side of the river, and he opened a grain shop in his home, because some time ago the Central Plains had poisonous soldiers and monsters doing evil, and the farmland was barren, so he came to Gucheng to buy goods.

The little colonel listened to him like a fluent answer, not like a deceit, let alone a court official, so he ordered his men to go down and check the grain on the cart to see if there was anything forbidden, and if everything was normal, he was ready to let them cross the river.

Who knows, Liu Yanru, who was in the same car as Murong Xue, was too nervous, and when the sailor soldiers approached, she screamed in fright, which immediately attracted the attention of the junior colonel in front.

Xiao Xiao pushed away Yuan Bin, who was blocking in front of him, walked to Liu Yanru's side with a puzzled face, and scolded: "What did you shout just now?" ”

Murong Xue hurriedly smiled: "Master Jun, the country lady has never seen the world, and when she saw that military master coming over with a knife, she was frightened." ”

"I didn't ask you, shut up!" The little colonel waited for Murong Xue's glance, then turned his head and continued to stare at Liu Yanru: "Speak!" What did you just shout? ”

"Harm...... Afraid. ”

"Scared?" Xiao Xiao looked at it for a moment, and suddenly asked, "Where are you from?" ”

"Jizhou people."

"Jizhou? Jizhou is in Hebei, what are you doing here? ”

"Master Jun, her hometown ......"

"Shut up! I asked her to answer, no matter how much you do, I will cut you with a knife! Say, what are you doing in Jingzhou?! ”

"I, I'm ...... Those who fled. ”

"Jizhou didn't fight again, why are you trying to escape?"

"Jizhou...... Bandits, I can't stay. ”

"You're farming?"

"Yes......"

"What did you plant?"

“……”

"What do you plant?!"

"Planted...... Wheat. ”

"! This bag is clearly filled with rice! Say, what the hell are you doing? ”

"I ......"

Liu Yanru was completely panicked, with tears in her eyes, and she didn't know what to do at all.

The little colonel suddenly sneered: "I think you are clearly an official!" Come on, surround them! ”
