I had to run away. Zheng Anping looked around: it is winter leisure, there is no one in the four fields, and no one in the city has left the city. When a person suddenly appears in a field, it only attracts attention.

"Run down the ditch to the avenue; Then run along the avenue to the ancient city in the distance. They came from the ancient city, and the ancient city turned its back to their direction, and even if they wanted to chase it, they wouldn't chase it too far, otherwise they would make a mistake! Just be careful not to be spotted by them when you pass through the ditch. ”

Zheng Anping kept his eyes on the movements of the five people, and his feet slowly moved along the river bank towards the side of the avenue, getting closer and closer to the five people. Then, he stopped moving, even lowered his breath, and waited quietly for the five men to walk past him, all the way to the hut.

It wasn't long, but it was so long. Every movement and expression of the five people fell in Zheng Anping's eyes, deeply imprinted in his heart, and hooked his emotions from time to time. Only when the five people gradually walked away did Zheng Anping dare to start again and continue to move along the river bank towards the avenue.

In the cold wind of early winter, Zheng Anping's upper body was naked, and his lower clothes were wet, but there was no coolness; Staring at the five people with good eyes, his feet moved gently to the side, reminding in his heart: "Steady, steady, don't touch the sound." ”

The five men had approached the hut. Zheng Anping turned his head to see that the avenue was also approaching. He jumped out of the riverbank and ran out with his head down, faintly feeling a gaze behind him.

He didn't dare to look back, he didn't dare to look around, and ran as hard as he could. I saw the avenue rushing under my feet like a fly. He ran until he was exhausted and panting like a cow, and then he plunged headlong into the grass beside the road and looked back. Qin Ruishi didn't chase after him. His heart was relieved, and he let go of his sense and looked around, but there was no movement. After completely relaxing, Zheng Anping felt dizzy, his whole body ached, and the cold wind blew, and he was a little nervous; He put on his shirt and remembered that today's meal was gone.

He mourned in his heart: "You, you are a natural mold! Anything will happen to you! After thinking about it, "In the face of such a big disaster, I haven't lost a single hair, isn't it a great blessing!" ”

Suddenly, he felt movement behind him. When I looked back, I saw dust behind the ruined city, and it was clear that a large number of troops were coming. Needless to say, this is Wei Jun. Are they going to occupy the ruined city too?

Zheng Anping was overjoyed and almost rushed out, but then suppressed his impulse: "Go out now and look for death!" He did not want to admit that he was avoiding the war, and he excused himself by saying, "He is not fully armoured and has no ranks." Whoever knows who you are, you are not allowed to take it as a spy. Let's wait for the postmen to arrive and return to the team! ”

He took stock of the situation, and confirmed that any attack from the direction of the city would be spotted by the sentinels of the ancient city before approaching him; And hiding in the deep grass, as long as there is no big movement, it will generally not be discovered by the sentry. This calmed him down: "Just be cold and hungry, just endure it and pass." He quietly rolled over and lay down in a slightly more comfortable position. As the sun gradually rises, the chill gradually passes and the warmth begins to take place. Zheng Anping also gradually fell asleep in this warmth.

He was awakened by the sound of horses' hooves and the wheels of wheels. A group of soldiers is coming this way. Before Zheng Anping could react, he was caught around his neck by two halberds.

Zheng Anping shouted: "I am the post guard of the Chengxi Station, and I came with General Mangshen!" I am a post guard of Chengxi Station, and I came with General Mangshen! ……”

A soldier whipped Zheng Anping's ribs with the handle of his halberd: "Don't shout! I'll see General Manshin in a moment! ”

Zheng Anping didn't know whether to be happy or sad. was able to see Manshen immediately, and his identity was naturally clarified immediately. But how do you explain this outfit? Also, don't you have to finish your careful thinking if you don't want to participate in the battle!

Anyway, it doesn't taste good to be caught in the neck by a halberd. Zheng Anping stretched out his hands to both sides, tried his best to show a smile, and said, "Brother, loosen up a little, I'll get up and go with you." There is no problem! As he spoke, he slowly raised his hand.

A man came over on one side, grabbed his hand, and the two halberds stepped back. Zheng Anping strained his abdomen and sat up. A military commander walked over: "Brother, be clear, bundle a bunch!" ”

Zheng Anping untied his belt, raised his hands high, and the knots hidden inside fell from the middle. The two of them put his hands behind his back, took off the festival charms, and tied Zheng Anping's hands with belts.

Wu Chang glanced at the festival charm and brought Zheng Anping to Mangshen.

"Qin Ruishi, five!" Zheng Anping whispered to Mangshen. Previously, he had been recognized by Mangshen, so he claimed that he had a secret report before Mangshen asked loudly.

Mang Shen listened to Zheng Anping's words and looked at him suspiciously: "Five Qin Ruishi, how do you know each other?" ”

"Last night I fought with him outside the ruined city, and I shot one of them with a crossbow. Of the five today, one is not good at what he does; And they all use swords, so they know. Zheng Anping saw that Mang Shen was still puzzled, and added: "The team on duty outside the abandoned city last night saw it with their own eyes!" ”

Manshen nodded and said, "Okay, I'll wait for you first." Giving the order, the left companion scattered a line of formations, searching and advancing; The right companion followed behind. One mile outside the city. He also ordered a messenger to deliver a message to the rear army.

Zheng Anping was still tied upside down, followed by a military guard with his right companion. When the nameless city in front of me was in sight, there was the sound of chariots behind me. Xin Lingjun arrived by car, Mang Mao, and Jin Cong.

At Manshin's command, the right companion stopped and went on alert in all directions; The left companion continues to search forward; Zheng Anping was taken to the side of the road to wait.

Xinlingjun came by bicycle, and the driver and the right side of the car were still Mangmao and Jin. When the car arrived and slowly stopped, Mangshen stepped forward to report something, and then waved his hand to bring Zheng Anping up.

Xin Lingjun recognized him at a glance: "Zheng Gongzi!" Immediately jumped out of the car and said to Mangshen: "Zheng Gongzi works hard inside and outside the Great Wall at night, and he is fortunate to be in the same car with him, dare to ask for relief!" ”

When Mang Shen saw Xin Lingjun say this, he also fell into a favor, and personally went over to loosen the belt that bound Zheng Anping's hands, and assisted him in straightening his clothes and tying the belt around his waist again. Zheng Anping straightened his clothes according to the etiquette and greeted Xinling Jun: "Minister Zheng Anping has seen Wei Gongzi!" ”

Xin Lingjun returned the salute and asked, "Zheng Gongzi has worked hard!" Dare to ask Childe to teach me! ”

Zheng Anping said: "The minister stayed in the outer room last night, and this morning I saw five people on the avenue, each wearing a Qin sword, suspected of being Qin Ruishi. I wanted to sneak into the camp to report, but I met my son here! ”

Xinling Jun said: "But what did you see with your own eyes? ”

Zheng Anping said: "Exactly, just ten zhang from the front of the minister's eyes, you can see it closely!" ”

Xinlingjun said: "Where did they go?" ”

"When the minister saw him go to the outer room, he didn't dare to stay longer."

Mang Mao asked, "Where were you then?" ”

"Draw water by the river."

Mang Mao said to Mang Shen: "Take a group of people, ask Zheng Gongzi to guide you, and search along the river!" The rest of the men guarded the king, resting in the vast expanse of the front, waiting for the arrival of the rear army. Report the situation to the Commandery. ”

Mangshen got the order, led a group of people, led by Zheng Anping, to the river. Mangshen said: "But the son of Lao leads the way." The right Wu went down to the river with the son, and the left Wu followed up on the bank, thinking that he should respond. ”

Zheng Anping knew that he was being treated as a stick to frighten the snake, but he had no choice but to accept and take the lead to go down to the river. This time he was no longer cautious, but made a big fanfare, pushed aside the reeds, and struggled forward, shouting from time to time in his mouth, thinking to himself: "These Qin people are spies, and they will not show their bottoms, I just need to scare them away!" He stood out from a very good distance, not only to ensure that he and the five people behind him would not be killed by the same pot, but also to ensure that he could be rescued as long as he supported for a breath: "As long as they can't wipe us out with one blow, they will never do anything to me." ”

At this point, Zheng Anping is more courageous, his actions are more courageous, and he has no flinching. As he walked, he reported loudly: "There is no one by the river!" …… There is no one in the reeds! …… Little Bend is unmanned! ……”

However, after a cup of tea, Zheng Anping saw the big pot he left by the river: "I found the big clay pot, this is it!" ”

This is the place where the people of the city usually draw water, and the view is quite open. Manshen said: "Pause forward!" He went down to the river and asked Zheng Anping, "Where did you see them?" Zheng Anping pointed to the hut on the edge of the city. Mangshen looked at the hut, returned to the shore, looked around for a moment, and then said to Shi Chang: "You report to the general, saying that we have searched the place where Zheng Gongzi found the Qin people. The Qin people entered a hut in front of them. Request the next step! ”

Shi Chang took the order and left. Mangshen ordered "Stay in place and rest!" ”

Even Zheng Anping, a total of ten people, formed a large circle and sat down facing outward. Mangshen sat next to Zheng Anping, and he was idle without a match.

After another cup of tea, Shi Chang returned and said, "The general has an order, and we will continue to search along the river bank for two or three miles." The general sent another group into the hut to search. I'll wait until the search is finished, and then I'll give the order! ”

Manshen and the others continued to search forward as they were told, but they also found nothing, that is, they returned to the camp in reverse.
