Chapter 886: Into the City
Yan Du pulled the skirt on his body, and seeing that Liu Yunxiang couldn't stop laughing, he simply walked to the mirror and took a look.
"It is indeed beautiful, and any man must not be fascinated when he sees this king."
Vice General Li stood next to him and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"However, since you are fleeing, you still have to be embarrassed."
Liu Yunxiang nodded, she had already prepared the muddy water, first wiped some on her face, and then on Yan Du and Zijin's faces, her clothes were also dirty, and her hair was messy.
"Feasible?"
Yan Du nodded, "Even the fiery eyes can't see the lady's flower and moon appearance." ”
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "It seems that my husband needs to wipe more." ”
"No, I'm going to be a clay man."
After a few jokes, everyone was in a much lighter mood. Vice General Li led them out of the miasma forest and walked to the official road, where he saw a group of Southern Jin Dynasty iron horsemen from a distance who had captured a few women who had escaped and were dragging them south.
"Your Highness, these Southern Jin Dynasty people are cruel and tyrannical, you ......" Vice General Li was a little worried.
"It's all right, remember what the king told you."
"Yes."
Vice General Li hid in the forest, and the three of Yan Du pretended to be panicked and ran forward, and those Southern Jin Dynasty people really saw them, and two rode horses to chase them.
"Stop! Run again and chop off your legs! ”
Soon the two men caught up with them, and they stopped running and cowered in place. The two men rode around them in circles, flicking a whip from time to time to intimidate them.
After waiting for a while, the people behind followed.
Their hands were tied, and one of them dragged the rope into the other women who had been captured. Yan Du and Zijin protected Liu Yunxiang left and right, and glanced at each other.
The women who were arrested were all young, the youngest in their teens, and they were in disarray, staggering and trotting.
The teenage girl was very thin and struggled to run, and accidentally crooked her foot, fell to the ground, and was dragged forward. When the person who dragged her in front saw it, he didn't stop, but showed a cruel smile.
Yan Du took advantage of the person's inattention and dragged the little girl up.
"Be careful!"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and thanked Yan Du while running: "Thank you, sister,"
Yan Du nodded at her, "What about your family?" ”
When the little girl heard this, her eyes immediately turned red, "My father has been kicked out of the city, my mother...... My mother is gone. ”
"Gone?"
"One day she went out to buy food and never came back."
Yan Du was about to ask, but at this time, a whip flung over, and he hurriedly picked up the little girl to block it, and the whip was whipped on the arm.
"Don't talk! Run fast! The rider in front of him shouted.
Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Dui worriedly, and Yan Dui shook his head at her.
Soon I will be out of the forest, and I will not go far to the city of Ling'an.
It's just that at this time, more than a dozen people suddenly appeared, and they flew over with big knives and slashed at those Southern Jin people. It's just that these Southern Jin Dynasty people are not vegetarians, and they don't lose one against two.
These people were not in love with war, and after a few rounds of fighting with the Southern Jin people, they took the opportunity to cut the rope that bound those women.
"Run!"
Their ropes were also cut, and they didn't know whether to run or not for a while.
"What are you doing in a daze, don't run yet!"
Before Yan Du could react, he was pulled by the man in white and ran to the forest next to him. He hurriedly went back to see Liu Yunxiang, she was protected by Zijin, but she was fine.
Yan Du was run into the forest by the man in white, and two Northern Jin cavalry chased after him.
The man ran slower and slower, and Yan Du realized that he had an injury to his abdomen, and his face was pale from blood loss. But at this glance, he also recognized this man, who was the general who saved the displaced people before, surnamed Wen and Wen Zhuqing.
Due to a disagreement with Su Hui, he left the barracks with more than a dozen of his subordinates and haunted the neighborhood to save the homeless people who were oppressed by the Southern Jin Dynasty.
Wen Zhuqing covered her abdomen, stumbled under her feet, and almost fell.
Yan Duan supported him, and at the same time glanced back, the two Southern Jin cavalry were already very close.
"Run!" Wen Zhuqing also found out and hurriedly pushed him.
Yan Du sighed slightly, and when the two cavalrymen caught up, he snatched the knife from Wen Zhuqing's hand and killed him head-on. The Southern Jin cavalry's kung fu is really good, but it is far from him, so although it is one dozen or two, they quickly dragged the two off their horses and solved them one by one.
He looked back and saw Wen Zhuqing looking at him in surprise, "You, are you a man?" ”
Yan Duan put away his knife and walked towards Wen Zhuqing, "General Wen, instead of being a straggler and only saving a few people, it is better to go back to the barracks, train the remaining 20,000 Bian Nan troops, and fight with the Southern Jin people in the near future." ”
"You...... You are? Wen Zhuqing saw Yan Duan's hands behind his back, full of majesty, and then thought of something, his eyes suddenly widened, "You are the prince!" ”
Yan Du nodded, "General Wen has good eyesight. ”
"Then how could you be ......" Wen Zhuqing paused again, and then looked at Yan Duan's dress, "You were deliberately caught by the Southern Jin Dynasty?" ”
"Well, before the peace talks, we plan to go to the city to find out the situation."
"I see." Wen Zhuqing hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "The last general is stupid and dull, ruining your plan." ”
At this time, the sound of horses' hooves came from a distance, and Yan Duan hurriedly explained to Wen Zhuqing, "General Wen, hurry back to the Bian Nan military camp, we still have a tough battle with the Southern Jin Dynasty!" ”
Wen Zhuqing clenched his fists and replied heavily: "The last general will obey the order!" ”
The two separated, and Yan Du circled back to the official road, and was soon caught again. Due to the death of two cavalrymen, the others were a little nervous and hurried to Ling'an City.
Yan Du saw that the little girl was gone, and asked Liu Yunxiang what was going on.
"I asked Zijin to hide that little girl while we were in trouble, and when we got away, she would come out to find the other homeless."
"Hmm."
There was a delay on the way for a while, but before dark, I still came to Ling'an City.
The gate of Ling'an City was full of soldiers from the Southern Jin Dynasty, and the guards were very strict, and when the gate was opened, Liu Yunxiang and they were dragged in. Yuan was also worried that after entering the city, they might be locked up and had no chance to investigate, but fortunately, after they were dragged into the city gate, the Southern Jin people released them.
The other women hurriedly dispersed, and Liu Yunxiang and the others also dispersed.
Hide in a dark alley first, and then observe Ling'an City in the twilight.
The longest street in the city is actually brightly lit, and the shops on both sides are open, but there are no customers, and the occasional entry and exit are Southern Jin people wearing Southern Jin costumes.
In ordinary houses, either the gate is closed, or the gate is broken, the lights are all turned off, and there is no one in the alley.
At this time, a few drunken Southern Jin Dynasty people came out of a wine shop, although they were wearing regular clothes, but at a glance they knew that they were soldiers in the army. One of them came out with a young girl in his arms, and the girl struggled desperately, but how could she withstand the strength of the man.
"Master Jun, Master Jun, please let my daughter go, you can take these silver coins, and you should be filial to you!"
The owner of the liquor store chased after them, bending over and begging these people with his hands folded.
The man kicked the boss out, "Lao Tzu has a crush on your daughter, that's her blessing, don't know what to do!" ”
