Chapter IV: Relief from Difficulties
Wang Donkey is a person who knows things very well, he can live until now, and he will definitely not live until now if he has no eyesight, "What the little brother said is very true, what he said is very true!" Although Jijiabao is heavily guarded, there is a canal connected to the moat outside the city, but can the two of you know the water? β
Cui Jin patted his chest and said: "Our brothers can go up the knife mountain and go down to the sea of fire, what is the mere moat?" β
Seeing him say this, Li Yue put his mind at ease, although he could barely drown in a few dog planings, but it was definitely not convenient to walk by water for a long time.
Wang Donkey is so easy to talk now because the two of them threaten his life at any time, and once he enters the water, the situation changes.
You can't have the heart to hurt others, and you can't have the heart to defend people.
"Both of them are teenage heroes!" Wang Donkey slapped a hot fart, removed the bones of the remaining half of the donkey meat and divided it into three parts, and each of the three took a piece.
Carrying something weighing thirty or forty pounds, Li Yue was even more bottomless in his heart.
If the king and donkey have any evil intentions, will they not be cocooned and bound by going into the water?
"Brother Donkey, please lead the way." Li Yue let him go ahead.
Wang Donkey walked in front with donkey meat on his back, Li Yue and Cui Jin left and right.
It is really easy to walk on the waterway, the concealment is good, there is a wind and grass can be directly retracted into the water, and at night, even if the people above hear the movement, they can't see the canal.
After dodging two rounds of patrols in a row, all three of them relaxed.
Wang Donkey's words also increased, "Both of them are young heroes, but it's a pity that they were born at the wrong time, and there is no hero in the world." β
Big nonsense is talking about Shile.
Born as a slave, he fought the world for decades and eventually became a generation of emperors.
When Shile was alive, he reduced his rent and suspended his sentence, opened a school, approved his household registration, and reformulated weights and measures, so that the scarred northern land could recover some vitality.
"Listening to Brother Tai's words, he is not an ordinary person, why don't he go south to the imperial court?" Cui Jin said.
Wang Donkey stopped and asked rhetorically: "Why did those two brothers gather in the mountains and forests and not go south to join the imperial court?" β
The Yongjia Rebellion crossed to the south, but it also exacerbated the contradictions between the north and the south.
The people of Jiangzuo gave the fleeing northerners a very insulting and contemptuous name - Lingzi, which means despicable mediocrity.
It is not enough that the people of Jiangzuo despise the northerners, and even the Sima family court that moved south is guarding against the northerners everywhere, and there is the Zuyue rebellion in the past, and the rebellion of Su Jun in the back, which has not stopped for decades, further increasing the rift between the north and the south.
In fact, the Eastern Jin Dynasty did not have the opportunity to recover the homeland, nor did it not have the famous generals of the Northern Expedition, not to mention that the people of the Northern Expedition did not miss the old dynasty, but the court of the Sima family, which had original sin from the time of its establishment, and they were more interested in infighting.
In that year, Zu Ti recruited 3,000 people to go on a northern expedition, attacked in the middle of the stream, vowed to sweep the Central Plains, drive out Hulu, recover the territory south of the Yellow River in a few years, and defeated Shihu several times before and after.
Seeing that the situation is very good, the Jiangzuo Imperial Court should not say that it will send troops to support, as long as it does not add to the chaos and roars in the back, it may be able to recover Hebei.
But the Sima family is the Sima family after all, and he was afraid that Zu Ti would grow stronger, so he sent Dai Yuan as the general of Zhengxi, the governor of Si Yanyu, and the military of the six states of Yongji and the history of Sizhou, which caused Zu Ti to die of grief and anger......
Ordinary people who have no identity and family background will not end much better if they go south.
Cui Jin sighed and stopped talking.
There was only the sound of gurgling water around, and I don't know how long it took, Wang Donkey listened to the footsteps and whispered: "It's here!" β
A water gate stood in front of the trio.
The walls of the city were filled with the light of torches and scattered footsteps.
Wang Donkey shook his arm and was about to plunge down, but was pulled by Li Yue, "Second brother, you go underwater and have a look." β
This guy was thinking too much, and Li Yue didn't dare to let him go.
Cui Jin looked embarrassed, "Third brother, for brother...... Poor water ......"
"Didn't you just say that you could go up the sword mountain and go down to the sea of fire?" Li Yue almost spit out a mouthful of old blood in his face.
"That's the way it is, but the water is too cold and too deep...... For my brother to grow up in the Northland...... "Cui Jin has a water nature, but it is estimated that like himself, he can only do a few dog planing......
"Hahaha......" Wang Donkey laughed and fell back and forth, and his voice became louder and louder.
"Silence!" Li Yuegang felt that something was wrong, Wang Donkey laughed, and suddenly broke free of Li Yue's hand and plunged headlong.
"Who?" The angry shouts of the guards came from the water gate.
A torch was thrown down, illuminating the faces of Li Yue and Cui Jin in the water.
"There's someone underwater!" The shouts rang out with the sound of bangs.
"This king donkey is really not a fucking thing!" Li Yue scolded, just run, and deliberately alarmed the guards.
But think about it carefully, if it were yourself, I'm afraid that I would do the same, from the beginning of the meeting, everyone went in with white knives and out with red knives, although they fished meat in the same kettle to eat, but they were not all the way at all.
He is guarding against the king donkey, and the king is definitely guarding himself everywhere!
The name Wang Donkey doesn't sound like his real name.
"What are you doing? Under! Li Yue let out a low roar.
The only thing that is certain is that it should be possible to escape underwater.
At this time, I didn't care if the water was good or not, more than a dozen guards in the city were bending their bows and arrows, and another dozen people were rushing down the stone steps.
This time it fell into the hands of Ji Yong, and Li Yue was not confident that he could live.
Zhang Shan's wife will definitely torture himself to the death.
The two of them pierced at the same time, the cold river overflowing overhead, and several sharp arrows flew above their heads against their scalps.
You can't see anything underwater, but luckily there's only one way through.
Li Yue stretched out his hand to grope and found that the underwater door was broken, and people could get through.
However, Li Yue had a lot of thoughts, and he was afraid that the king donkey would wait for the rabbit in front, so he untied the donkey meat on his back and pushed it over.
Sure enough, as soon as the donkey meat was released, a black shadow rushed from behind the water gate, and the three-inch gelding in his hand stabbed down frantically.
Li Yue let out a cold sweat, fortunately he was careful, otherwise he would really die at the hands of Wang Donkey this time.
People these days are really fucking ruthless.
Wang Donkey stabbed more than a dozen knives, found that the hand was wrong, and swam quickly into the distance, Li Yue carried a kitchen knife, and was about to catch up and kill the grandson, but unexpectedly his ankle was caught by Cui Jin behind him.
Through the light of the fire on the water gate, Cui Jin's panicked face could be vaguely seen.
Li Yue could only turn around, grabbed him, and the two of them slashed at the same time and fled out.
I almost didn't hold back my breath before I touched the wooden door.
The king and the donkey are long gone.
The people of Jijiabao behind him chased after them, but their water quality was even worse, and they fluttered in the river for a long time, and they didn't see the distance shortened.
"It's finally out." Li Yue was ecstatic in his heart, being alive was more important than anything else.
I followed the current into the water, and floated for almost an hour before there was no movement behind me.
found an open place to go ashore, Cui Jin had been choked, and people were a little sober.
Li Yue couldn't help but sigh at the strength of this body, he was injured, he was also hungry for a day, and he struggled all night, but he didn't feel much tired until now.
When I undressed myself, the wounds were already dark red scars, and the tendons and flesh of my body seemed to contain infinite power.
The body is the capital, if it is a sick seedling, I am afraid that I will not live for more than three days in this world.
Whewβ
A few low whistles came from behind him, and suddenly there were more than a dozen pairs of dark green eyes in the dim wilderness, piercing like an awl.
Li Yue was startled, and then he saw that it was a pack of wolves.
In these years people are hungry, and animals are hungry.
Li Yue clenched the kitchen knife, but felt that this thing was too short, so he picked up Cui Jin's big sword.
The long sword was unsheathed, and a cold light flickered like autumn water.
With a kitchen knife in his left hand and a big sword in his right hand, his heart suddenly became a lot more stable.
It's not a big problem to deal with a dozen wolves with the guys in your hands.
The wolves formed a semi-encirclement, tried several times, and were deterred by the long sword in Li Yue's hand.
They seem to be human, and they know that this sword is not easy to mess with.
After a little confrontation for half an hour, the sky was bright, the sound of horses' hooves was heard in the wilderness, the wolves looked up to the south, the head wolf let out a terrible howl, and the wolves dispersed in a hurry.
However, hearing the sound of horses' hooves, Li Yue was even more frightened.
Those who can ride horses nearby are either people from Jijiabao or Xingyang City, and the poor people in Heiyun Mountain have drunk the northwest wind, so they will definitely not be able to raise horses.
In these years, people can't raise it, and it's not ordinary people who can raise horses.
Li Yue could only drag Cui Jin and hide in the water again, the tall aquatic grass completely blocked the traces of the two.
After a while, the figure of the cavalry was revealed in the morning light.
Dark red iron armor, spears, bows and arrows, drove a group of people, and it could be seen from the clothes that they were all Han Chinese, not very old, men and women, with withered expressions and numb expressions.
When he got closer, Li Yue saw that the cavalry were all deep-eyed and high-nosed people, with a total of more than 20 horsemen, all of whom had ruddy faces, strong bodies, and showed off their might.
And the Han'er under the horse was driven like cattle and sheep.
