Saying goodbye to Cao Xue, Liu Bang rode his horse out of the city, chasing Zhou Bo and others, fifty prisoners, this is not a small number, Liu Bang was restless in his heart, if there was any mistake along the way, he would really die in Xianyang this time.

Out of Pei County, across Surabaya Township, Liu Bang embarked on a wide gallop road, not far away, is Zhou Bo and others who are slowly advancing, the prisoners lined up in a long line, slowly marching, soon, Liu Bang caught up, at this time, the three officials were chatting, Liu Bang waved to them, and drove the horse to continue to move forward.

In front of the team, Liu Bang caught up with Zhou Bo, he was on a business trip for the first time, people were more nervous, and he was very cautious, Liu Bang was very satisfied with Zhou Bo, but, after all, Zhou Bo was out of friendship, so he accompanied himself to Xianyang, Liu Bang felt a little guilty in his heart, it was almost afternoon at this time, Liu Bang jumped off the horse, took out the beans from the baggage, threw them to Zhou Bo, and said with a smile: "Hungry, eat something." ”

Zhou Bo turned around and looked, Liu Bang had already arrived, he couldn't help but smile, took the beans, opened the cloth bag, grabbed a handful and threw it into his mouth, chewed for a while, full of bean fragrance, Zhou Bo's nervousness eased a lot, he grabbed a handful again, threw it into his mouth, and then returned the cloth bag to Liu Bang, and said with a smile: "Brother Bang, you can eat some too." ”

Liu Bang did not rush to eat beans, but untied the wine jug on the saddle, took a big sip, and was full of energy, Liu Bang took out a few beans from his cloth pocket and ate a few bites, feeling happy and dripping, and then smiled: "When you go out, you can't do it without wine." ”

Liu Bang is a well-known alcoholic in Fengxiang, at this time listening to Liu Bang praise the wine, complacent, Zhou Bo couldn't help laughing heartily, these years, since knowing Liu Bang, Zhou Bo and Liu Bang have a close relationship, and also indirectly understand Liu Bang's personality, I feel that Liu Bang is a man who can be deeply friends.

Moreover, he did not marry a wife, had no family, and was idle and bored, so he decided to go out for a walk with Liu Bang and see the world outside.

Perhaps, because of his fate, this trip out, he can still meet the right person, find a matchmaker, talk about family affairs, perhaps, his lifelong events can be solved, however, this kind of extravagant hope, Zhou Bo just thinks about it, if there is really such a strange fate, it is really an eye-opener.

Zhou Bo couldn't help laughing at himself, his thoughts flew too far, at this time, Liu Bang was still tasting the wine, eating beans, Zhou Bo was still a little hungry, so he reached out and grabbed a handful of beans, threw them into his mouth one by one, and asked Liu Bang to drink less, Liu Bang agreed on the surface, but the wine jug in his hand was not idle, and poured a few sips into his mouth from time to time, just like that, the two watched the prisoner and marched on the gallop.

I don't know how long it took, Zhou Bo felt that the road was lonely, and said with a smile: "Brother Bang, has he escorted the prisoners all these years?" This journey is lonely, how did Brother Bang survive? ”

Seeing Zhou Bo asking, Liu Bang put on the lid of the wine jug and said with a smile: "Sometimes, when there are many prisoners, Cao Shen will also go with me, but he is a prison peng, and I am busy on the road." ”

Liu Bang scolded with a smile, thinking of today, Xiao He still wants Cao Shen to accompany him, why is there such an unlucky errand? That must exhaust yourself, and besides, walking with Cao Shen, you can't drink so freely!

Thinking of drinking, Cao Xue Miaoman's figure fluttered in front of Liu Bang's eyes, this woman actually gave birth to a son to herself quietly, at this time, Liu Bang was already the father of three children, this sudden joy, or Liu Bang was a little excited, he opened the wine bottle again, took a big sip, at this time, he was a little drunk.

Zhou Bo didn't pay attention to Liu Bang, he was carrying a sword, walking quickly in front, and after a while, he raised his eyes and looked at the endless galloping road, he couldn't help sighing: "If you want to think of Xianyang, how far do you have to go?" ”

Liu Bang heard Zhou Bo's complaint, and he couldn't help laughing and said: "The fastest, it's good to be able to come back in a month and a half, sometimes it's not smooth to catch up, and you can't get to Xianyang for a month." ”

"Oh my God, you can't get to Xianyang in a month, that's going to kill your head!" Zhou Bo couldn't help but be surprised, but Liu Bang smiled and said: "Do // We can only resign ourselves to fate, if the idea is not good, we can only go to Xianyang to drink knives." ”

Liu Bang sighed lightly, and on the side, Zhou Bo was surprised: "Isn't that why you can't celebrate the New Year at home?" ”

"Celebrating the New Year at home?" Liu Bang couldn't help but sneer, and said angrily: "Lao Tzu hasn't been home for several years, and I don't even know what my daughter-in-law's body // fragrance is!" ”

This sentence caused the laughter of the prisoners, Liu Bang scratched his head embarrassedly, and suddenly, not far away, there was a riot at the rear of the team, and a servant shouted anxiously: "Oh no, someone has escaped!" ”

Liu Bang's originally good mood suddenly sank, as if he had been suddenly pushed to the bottom, he hurriedly handed over the horse to Zhou Bo and ran quickly towards the end of the team.

A servant met Liu Bang and arched his hand: "Pavilion chief, it's not good, two people have quietly escaped!" ”

Several officials were counting the number of people, Liu Bang sat on the ground in confusion, one person escaped, he was derelict in his duties, not to mention, two people escaped at once, Liu Bang was worried, at this time, Zhou Bo suppressed the front team, hurried over, three officials also came one after another, one of them hung his head and complained: "I always feel that my eyelids are jumping, and something really happened!" ”

"yes, why are we going to do it now?" Another official grumbled bitterly, and there was a brief silence in the ranks.

Soon, Liu Bang resolutely got up, pointed to the prisoner in front of him, and said helplessly: "Tie them all up, so that no one escapes." ”

Everyone tied the prisoners one after another, complaining and scolding, but Liu Bang and others ignored everyone's dissatisfaction, and led the team to set foot on the westward march again.

In order to prevent any more prisoners from escaping, Liu Bang and Zhou Bo followed the team this time, the officials were in front, the team marched slowly, Liu Bang did not dare to drink, his eyes were vigilantly staring ahead, but even so, after half a pillar of incense, there was a riot in front again.

Liu Bang's whole heart was hanging, he drove his horse, hurried away, several officials sat on the ground in distress, a few severed ropes in front of them, obviously, another prisoner escaped.

"How many ran?" Liu Bang asked hoarsely, and one of the officials shook his head with a wry smile and sighed, "Ten ...... Ten. ”

Liu Bang sighed desperately, pointed to the pavilion in Daze, and ordered: "Go there and rest for the night, and we will stop tomorrow." ”

Dazeli, the place where he used to drink with Xiang Zhuang and Gongsun Tai, Liu Bang had a bitter face and sat in his original position again, at this time, his heart was bitter, and his tears were crumbling, as if, in an instant, the world became extremely dark, and there was no longer a trace of light.

Time seemed to have gone back to the past, and Gongsun Tai's words echoed in his ears: 'Since Brother Liu Bang is disgusted with the errand in front of him, why don't you do some business?' ’

At that time, he also refuted Gongsun Tai for that meager income, and at this time, he thought about it, perhaps, he was right.

Moreover, right now, more than a dozen people have escaped, how should I explain to the imperial court? Even if he enlisted in the army, it was not enough to pay off the debt, Liu Bang was distressed, called the old woman, asked for five pots of wine, and asked everyone to drink together, but at this time, no one could drink it, Liu Bang had to serve the wine pot himself and drink it in a big gulp.

A pot of ...... Two pots...... It wasn't until Liu Bang drank the third pot that a bold idea flashed in Liu Bang's mind, at this time, he was already drunk, staggered up, picked up the fourth pot of wine, took a big sip, and shouted: "Bring everyone to me!" ”

The three servants and Zhou Bo drove the remaining thirty or so people to the vicinity of the wine shop, Liu Bang squinted his eyes slightly, his gaze wandered over each prisoner, and he said in a hoarse voice: "Let me release all the people!" ”

Everyone didn't seem to understand, they all stared at Liu Bang quietly, and soon, Liu Bang saw that no one moved, and shouted vaguely again: "Let everyone go." ”

This time, all the people were stunned, the three officials hurriedly drew // out of the bronze sword, glared at Liu Bang, Zhou Bo saw that the situation had changed, roared, waved the sword in front of Liu Bang, the two sides were deadlocked, at this time, Liu Bang sighed lightly, took a step forward, and said helplessly: "Tyrannical Qin is harsh, how can it survive for a long time?" Now more than 10 people have escaped, even if we go to Xianyang, it is just to find a way to die, rather than go to Xianyang, it is better for all of us to say goodbye, go our separate ways, and still be able to survive in the world, not to die. ”

Everyone bowed their heads and said nothing, and the prisoners also looked at Liu Bang gratefully, and soon, everyone untied the ropes on the prisoners' hands, and the prisoners knelt in front of Liu Bang and kowtowed: "Thank you Pavilion Chief for your life." ”

Liu Bang put down the wine jug in his hand, bowed to everyone, and said goodbye to each other, at this time, a middle-aged man asked loudly: "Let us go, where is the pavilion master going to go?" ”

Seeing that the man asked, Liu Bang sighed lightly: "Mountains, forests and wilderness, wandering in the four seas, no fixed place to live, as long as the Qin State is not destroyed, I will flee forever." ”

Liu Bang's words were desolate, and everyone couldn't help but bow their heads after hearing it, at this time, the middle-aged man just now bowed down: "If the elder of the pavilion does not give up, I, Ji Xin, am willing to follow the adults and flee to the end of the world together, and never lose each other!" ”

About 20 people stepped forward, knelt down one after another, and shouted in front of Liu Bang: "Yes, we are also willing to follow the pavilion master, not seeking wealth and nobility, but only survival." ”

Liu Bang saw that everyone was willing to flee with him, his heart was overjoyed, and he hurriedly took out two pots of wine from the tavern, and asked for a few bowls from the old woman, and everyone drank the concentric wine in turn, only then broke the wine bowl in his hand, causing the old woman's anxious reprimand.

Leaving some half taels of money and losing the old woman's bowl money, Liu Bang sorted out his bags with everyone, said goodbye to those who did not want to leave, and hurriedly left Daze and went to the mountains in the distance.

When the fearful government learned the news, they robbed halfway, Liu Bang and others slept during the day, hurried at night, and left in a hurry.

At this moment, Liu Bang knew that there was no turning back, leaving this piece of Daze, he could only pull up the banner in the mountains to save his life, otherwise wandering for a lifetime would not be a long-term solution after all.

Thinking of his family, his elderly father, his wife who was busy at home, and his three weak children, Liu Bang sighed lightly, led the horse, quickened his pace, and walked quickly towards the mountains.
