Chapter Twenty-Four: Escape
Duxu Peiliu and others came out of the backyard over the wall, and fought fiercely with Jin Wuwei outside the courtyard, seeing more pursuers coming, a group of people went straight to the woods.
The forbidden army chased all night, and they ran all night.
Several people hid in the woods and scattered, and when the morning dawned, there was only Liu Lingwei behind Dugu Shuo.
"Anyone else?" Dugu Shuo stopped, looked behind him and asked.
"I don't know, just run forward!" Liu Ling said with a slight gasp.
"No, I have to go back to them!" Dugu Shuo said, and turned around and walked back. Liu Lingwei caught up and grabbed Dugu Shuoyan and said, "I can't go back, I haven't heard the sound of knives and axes, maybe they just got separated." This place is not suitable for a long time, you have to go further and get out of this forest to be safer! ”
Dugu Shuo didn't seem to listen to Liu Lingwei's words, put aside her hand, and just walked forward.
Liu Lingwei caught up again, slapped Dugu Shuo and said, "You are not a god or Buddha, you can't save all the suffering people in this world!" You have to think about the girl in the workshop, everyone has their own destiny, it's destined by God, you know? ”
When Dugu Shuo heard this, he froze, and two lines of tears slowly slipped down his cheeks.
Suddenly, there was a sound of people in the woods.
When the two of them looked at it, it was Shangguanyi.
Shangguan Yi approached the two of them, gasped and said, "Hurry up, Jin Wuwei is going to catch up!" With that, he patted Dugushuo's shoulder and walked away.
Dugu Shuo wanted to ask, but Shangguan Yi only cared about himself and left.
After hesitating again and again, Dugu Shuo came to his senses and took Liu Lingwei's hand and went straight forward.
The sky is bright, and the sun is slowly shining brightly.
After walking for about three or five miles, I saw two figures dangling on a slope.
Dugu Shuo fixed his eyes to see that it was Pei Ce and Xu Stomach.
When he pointed at Pei Xu and the others to show Liu Lingwei, his face showed a little relief.
He walked eagerly towards the two, and suddenly saw that the two had become three, and his heart was full of doubts, and when he wiped his eyes and looked again, the three became four.
Dugu Shuo asked eagerly: "Ling Wei, are my eyes spent, how did two people who were good become four!" ”
Liu Ling listened slightly, sneered, and pointed with his finger: "Take a closer look, whether four has become five!" ”
Dugu Shuo looked in the direction of Liu Lingwei's finger, and it was really four that had become five.
He rubbed his eyes again, and when he looked again, it was still five.
He stood up and said to Liu Lingwei with a suspicious face: "It's not that I'm blind!" ”
Liu Lingwei saw that he had stopped, and he also stopped, and sneered: "I really don't know how you became the deputy commander of the internal guard, those are chasing soldiers, and Master Pei is running ahead!" ”
Dugu Shuo looked forward again, and saw the two of them running in front of him.
The pursuers and Pei Xu are just a stone's throw away, but fortunately, the bamboo and trees in the forest are complicated, and the horses can't gallop, otherwise there will be no chance of survival.
"No, I have to save them!" Dugu Shuo said categorically.
Liu Ling looked at Dugu Shuo and then looked at the pursuers and said: "At this moment, the officers and soldiers are chasing them, we are the ones who are completely clear, and when the officers and soldiers arrest them, they will not look for us anymore, why do you want to deliberately annoy them!" ”
"I can't say that, not to mention that the two of them are my brothers in life and death, and I am like brothers and sisters, but for the sake of my colleagues, if I don't rescue them, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life!" Dugu Shuo said, and chased straight after those officers and soldiers.
Liu Lingwei chased after him, and said in his mouth: "What about life and death, brother, isn't it right to leave, and I don't see how close to you." Besides, now that we have traveled all night, our strength has been exhausted, how can we save them! ”
"The words are good, but we run after them, and at the same time we are exhausted, afraid that he will do something!"
Liu Ling squinted slightly, and said: "There are many of them, naturally they can't fight, if you want to send them to death, you can go yourself, I won't follow you to give away a life in vain!" With that, he sat down on the ground.
Dugu Shuo didn't answer anymore, just ran, the rhizome was wrong on the downhill road, Dugu Shuo was tripped several times, and he still stumbled after getting up.
Liu Lingwei looked at it in his heart, he didn't feel sad, and a stream of tears lingered in his heart.
She knew that if she was exhausted from being chased by these four or five Jin Wuwei at this moment, Dugu Shuo would be desperate to save him, and he was like this.
Dugu Shuo looked back at Liu Lingwei as he walked, and Liu Ling turned around slightly, afraid that Dugu Shuo would see the tears on her face.
For many years, in addition to King Shao, what she couldn't understand the most was Dugushuo.
Jin Wuwei's four or five people lined up in front and back, and they were also exhausted, and from time to time someone brought out a sheepskin bag to drink water.
Dugu Shuo quietly followed behind the last Jin Wuwei, pulled out the dagger at his waist, waited for the opportunity to jump up, and trapped one person with all his might.
The man shouted as if he was fascinated, and the people who were walking in front of him heard it and hurriedly turned back to look.
But when he saw Dugu Shuo, one of them turned around and walked a few steps, knelt on the ground and shouted pleadingly: "Lord Dugu left people under his hands, my brother was just ordered to chase after him, and he never hurt you, and please let my brother go!" ”
When Dugu Shuo heard this, he paused for a moment, slowly let go of his hand, and the man hurriedly struggled to get up.
One of the four said: "What commander, he is now a prisoner of the imperial court, why don't you go and arrest me soon!" ”
The other two looked at Dugu Shuo, and then looked at the leading Jin Wuwei and hesitated.
Seeing that the two people beside him did not move, the man didn't say a word, took a few steps forward with the knife, and stabbed straight into the back of the person who spoke to Shicai and Dugushuo.
When the person next to Dugu Shuo saw it, he pulled out his knife, rushed up, and shouted, "Brother! Elder brother! ”
Seeing that Dugu Shuo was exhausted, the leader pulled out his scimitar and walked quickly with a face of flesh.
The two people next to him hurriedly supported Jin Wuwei, who was stabbed down by the leader, and looked at the leader again.
When the two met, the person who was trapped by Dugushuo raised his knife and tore it, and the leader was more energetic, dodged away, left the person alone, and hurried towards Dugushuo.
Dugu Shuo struggled to stand up, pulled out a long knife, and held it in his hand. He himself knew that according to the current situation, he seemed to have the heart to die.
When the man saw that the thorn could not be slashed, he turned over and ran to his dead brother, hugged him and wept bitterly, only to cause the two people to cry too.
One of them scolded, "What kind of world is this! ”
With tears in his eyes, the man gently put down his dead brother, pulled out a long knife from his brother's waist, clenched his fists and rushed over.
At this moment, Dugu Shuo was knocked to the ground by the leader of Jin Wuwei, the long knife was close to his neck, Dugu Shuo blocked it tightly with the long knife with both hands, and his eyes were red.
The man who had died of his brother shouted and flew forward, and the leader of the Jin Wuwei did not dare to be distracted at all, so he had to let the long knife pierce his back, and he refused to let go, and then there were two more shouts, and the two people next to him, one by one, stabbed through him, and in an instant the leader fell to the ground in a pool of blood and stopped breathing.
Dugu Shuo lost his strength for a while, his whole body was paralyzed, and the blood stains on his neck were faintly visible.
Pei Ce and Xu Gao heard the sound of swords behind them, recognized Dugu Shuo, and then drew their swords and hurriedly turned around and ran.
Seeing that Dugu Shuo was about to fall, Liu Lingwei also panicked, crying and rushing over.
When Pei Xuliu and the three of them besieged from two sides, the heads of the long knives of the three Jin Wuwei were dripping with blood.
When Pei Ce saw Dugu Shuo, who fell to the ground, he roared wildly and suddenly burst on, like a lion.
When the three of them saw it, they hurriedly dropped the long knife in their hands and said with mercy: "Not dead, he is not dead... No, no, no, we didn't kill Lord Dugu, we killed Zheng Bantou and saved Lord Dugu! As he spoke, he pointed to the leader of the Golden Guards on the ground.
The hearts of the three of them were suspended for a while, and together with the long knife held high, they rushed to Dugu Shuo, swaying from side to side, and shouting.
"Tap, it's not dead yet!"
That Jin Wuwei hurriedly took out the water bag on his waist and fed Dugu Shuo a few sips of water.
After waiting for a while, the three of them told the ins and outs of Shicai, and Pei Xuliu and the three of them relaxed a little, and thanked Dugushuo and the three of them.
The six of them slept in the forest for a long time, as if they had survived the catastrophe, and the sun was slanting down from the broken leaves, like a leisurely morning.
I don't know how long it took for the man and his brother to be buried, rested for a while, and left in two.
Dugu Shuo and Pei Ce are people, whether it is the palace guards or the forbidden army, they have a good reputation everywhere. This time, many Jin Wuwei were sent to chase down the thieves who killed King Shao, and they had doubts in their hearts, and during the period, they found some of the internal guards who were killed, and they felt even more strange in their hearts, because they were punished by the leader, and they all held a grudge.
Now a few people have left the forest. Liu Lingwei was thinking about King Shao, she was sure that Emperor Wu would never kill King Shao, and she was thinking about how to enter the palace to rescue him.
Dugu Shuo and the three of them persuaded her many times, but she couldn't listen to it after all, and when it came to separation, she had to say something to take care of and say goodbye to each other.
Pei Xu Dugu and the three of them found a few families, climbed over the wall and went in, left the silver money on their bodies, washed some rags and "public inspection", and made Zhou's body muddy in the mud pit, picked up a few sticks to beat dogs and went to Luoyang City.
Notices have been posted everywhere that King Shao has been assassinated and that thieves are being caught everywhere.
The three of them glanced at each other, and it was not surprising to Dugushuo.
Dugu Shuo guessed that their house would be watched by the secret guards day and night, so he could only pretend to ask Hanako to deliver some news.
So the three of them went their separate ways according to the plan.
Dugu Shuo was thinking about Lin Fengwan in his heart, he knew that if the palace knew that she had escaped, she would be wanted by the Yamen immediately, so she would definitely not go to the Jiaofang Division, except for the Jiaofang Division, the entire Shendu, she could only go to one place, that is, Grandma Cai's shop near his old house.
Lin Fengwan had already changed his clothes, looking like a girl next door, standing at the door and looking anxiously.
Dugu Shuo begged along the street, lame, approached like a real flower, knocked the ground with a stick, knocked the broken bowl again, and deliberately said loudly: "Girl, okay, give me a stutter, I haven't eaten a bite for three days!" ”
Dugushuo looked left and right, and saw that not far away, a few people in front of the old house looked back, but saw that it was just a begging for a flower, and he didn't care, and only looked into the old house from time to time.
Dugu Shuo thought to himself, fortunately, they didn't notice Lin Fengwan.
Lin Feng saw Hanako begging for food late, and hurriedly returned to the house to get it.
Just when Lin Fengwan handed a steamed bun to Dugu Shuo, she said softly: "Don't look back, don't make a sound, just listen." ”
Lin Fengwan was startled at first, and when he heard this, he was overjoyed, and pretended to say: "It's such an uninteresting flower, and I still want money, if you don't want this steamed bun, go elsewhere to ask for it!" ”
Dugu Shuo listened to what Lin Fengwan said, sneered in his heart, and secretly praised Wan'er for her intelligence.
"Listen at night, there are secret guards on the left and right, you just wait for the curfew and go to the broken temple outside the city, I will wait for you there!"
"If I wait until the curfew, I can't go out alone, so it's better to go early!" Lin Feng said in the evening.
"No, the city gate is tight, you can't get out without a 'public inspection', I will put Jin Wuwei's pass card in the steamed bun, it can keep you out of the city unimpeded!" After that, Dugu Shuo stuffed the token into the steamed bun and said angrily: "After a certain is also a scholar, he is begging for food, and he also wants money, and he will never eat your steamed buns!" As he spoke, he threw the steamed buns into the courtyard and went alone.
Lin Feng saw it late, and there was another burst of joy in his heart, and he turned back to the courtyard and took the steamed bun Zhongtong card.
When Dugu Shuo walked past the dark guard with a limp, he didn't forget to beg for a few words, only to dislike the dark guards.
After settling down in the house, he took the money and hid it under his body, just waiting for the curfew to come, and went to the temple outside the city gate.
The gates of the city were being scrutinized more and more tightly.
Dugu Shuo deliberately made his body smelly, and the armor guarding the city saw that it was lame and stinky, so he took a brief look at the public inspection and drove it out with a whip.
Dugu Shuo dragged his lame legs and walked while shouting indiscriminately, and he was suspected of being all the way and ran to the temple.
