The decision had been made, and Xiao Yao's heart suddenly calmed down. (Please search, the novel is better and faster!) Because he had already guessed the plan of the Imperial City Division, and knew that they had put their heavy troops and most of their attention on the north, so on the way south towards Lin'an, Xiao Yao walked unusually steadily, although he encountered many guards patrolling along the way, but seeing that he was going south instead of going north, he was tolerant of him, and no one asked him.
Approaching Lin'an City, Xiao saw a large number of military horses roaring out of the city from time to time, bringing up the rolling dust on the official road, all the way to the north. However, he thought that Lin'an City, which was heavily guarded at this time, only appeared when he came to the front, and there was actually no special checkpoint at the city gate, and there were no additional guards, except for the more officials and city guards patrolling around the streets than usual, there was nothing unusual. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao secretly said that he had no chance to lose, and after buying a set of inconspicuous clothes on the side of the road, he went straight to the alley where Kublai Khan was hiding before.
Because Xiao Yao hid Kublai Khan here before, he led away the pursuers alone, and I don't know if there were ambushes left here later. At this time, he was worried that the Imperial City Division would be secretly ambushing heavy troops around, so he was extremely cautious, and repeatedly probed around, making sure that there were no suspected officers and soldiers or eunuch masters hiding behind the side, and then he walked into the alley and found the big urn.
When I came to the urn, the qiē in front of me was no different from what I saw last night, and the silence in the alley was still there, as if all the right and wrong killings had nothing to do with this place. Despite this, Xiao Yao still didn't want to stay here longer, so he went directly to the big urn, wanting to lift the lid and rescue Kublai Khan. He approached the urn and was about to reach out to open the lid, but suddenly he felt his hand hold him tightly at the hem of his trousers. Sensing this, Xiao Yao's heart was suddenly shocked, and his other foot was immediately kicked out like electricity, using a "force to break the peak thunder" in the whirlwind leaf sweeping leg method, and directly hit the person's wrist. If he stepped on it this time, even if it was an iron plate, he would be able to kick out a footprint, let alone just a human bone. The two sides were already very close to each other, Xiao Yao's leg was extremely fast, and before the wind started, his blow was close to the man's wrist, and he was about to step on the man's entire hand bones into powder, but at this moment, a faint voice suddenly came out from the firewood and grass pile placed aside, and said, "Brother, it's me." ”
Xiao Yao stopped immediately when he heard the sound, and the foot that had been kicked out couldn't retract his momentum, so he had to hurriedly change direction and kick towards a wooden pier placed on the side. Suddenly, only a click was heard, and the wooden lift, which might have been used to hold something on it, was suddenly kicked into pieces, and the sawdust flew all around Xiao Yao, and even the floor under the wooden lift was knocked out of cracks by this extremely strong impact, and it was broken into powder in a radial manner. Xiao Yao looked down and saw a hand suddenly stretched out from the pile of firewood and grass next to the urn, if it weren't for the storage of this hand, then no one would have seen that there was still a person hidden here. He hurriedly picked up the firewood and grass, and sure enough, he saw Kublai Khan lying in it panting, covered in stains, and the smell was even more terrible, obviously the smell of those pickles.
Seeing Kublai Khan, Xiao Yao was overjoyed, and immediately didn't care about any filth, hurriedly took him away from here, washed him a little in the sink in the courtyard, and changed into the shabby clothes he brought, and then left here. On the way, the two deliberately kept their distance, and only after walking out of the city did they gather in a small forest. The two cried with joy and hugged each other for a long time, and a feeling of joy for the rest of their lives echoed in their hearts for a long time, and it was difficult to rest. After a short reunion, Xiao Yao immediately separated the two in the alley, how he led away the masters of the imperial city, and how he learned that the other party had deployed all the main forces in the north to intercept him, and told Kublai Khan how to decide what to do next.
After listening to Xiao Yao's narration of the situation, Kublai Khan pondered for a moment and said: "For today's plan, there is indeed no other way than to go north. In any case, at this time, we can only find a way to return to the camp first. After all, if you are adrift, even if your life is safe for a while, you can't mobilize troops and plan countermeasures, and besides, if it drags on for a long time, you may fall into a crisis again. ”
Xiao Yao had actually thought of this section for a long time, and understood that the two of them always had to go north, and the reason why it was left to Kublai Khan before was only because he was unwilling to overstep his bounds, which made Kublai Khan feel unhappy. At this time, listening to his personal decision, Xiao Yaodang even said the route he had already planned, and said: "We can go from Lin'an, take Jiangnan West Road through Hongdu Mansion, and then take Huguang back to the north." Not to mention the customs and various situations on this road, we have been very familiar with along the way, just say that there are mountains and rivers on this road, and the forests are dense and grassy, which is also very convenient to hide the tracks, and will not be lightly exposed by those chasing soldiers. ”
Kublai Khan thought about it carefully, and suddenly realized that Xiao Yao's words were reasonable. Thinking that although the two of them were in danger at this time, and they had just escaped death, they saw that he was still calm and calm, decisive and orderly, without any panic, and quite a general's demeanor, so unconsciously, his admiration for him increased a little. The plan was decided, and the two immediately embarked on the trip. Since the nearby prefectures, counties, villages and towns have been under the strict control of the Great Song Dynasty official army, the slightest disturbance will immediately fall into the encirclement, so under the total, the two decided to go this way, and slowly walked along the mountain road trails, and when they encountered the key points that could not be avoided, they pretended to be beggars fleeing from the famine and asking for food, so they could get over first.
And this method did help the two avoid a lot of dangers. In half a month, although the journey was very slow, most of the roads were deep valleys and valleys, and even ordinary mountain people basically couldn't see a few, let alone any chasing soldiers. When passing through some villages and towns, I thought that although Kublai Khan was disguised, his Mongolian rugged and bold appearance and sturdy and strong figure could not be concealed no matter what, so Xiao Yao came forward to take care of food and lodging.
On this day, the two came to Changsha. Xiao Yao inquired all the way and learned from a wave of refugees fleeing from the south that as long as he walked more than 100 miles north, a newly mobilized Mongolian army would set up camp. Hearing this information, although Xiao Yao felt relieved and very happy in his heart, he saw that his compatriots were all yellow and thin, obviously devastated by the war, and for a moment, his heart felt very heavy. After thinking about it for a while, in addition to leaving some basic living expenses, he gave all the gold and silver belongings on his body to these poor refugees.
That night, the two stayed in an inn and prepared to hit the road early the next morning. With Kublai Khan's identity and status, no matter which Mongol army he entered, it was equivalent to a fish entering the sea and a trapped dragon ascending to heaven. Seeing that the escape days of sleeping in the open and sleeping in the open for days and sleeping overnight in Xiaoxing finally came to an end, the two of them were very excited in their hearts, and they lay side by side on the bed of the inn, and they had indescribable emotions for a while.
After chatting like this until midnight, Xiao Yao and Kublai Khan gradually felt a hint of sleepiness, so they fell asleep and slowly fell asleep. In this half-dream, a noisy sound suddenly came in from outside the inn. Xiao Yao was very alert and immediately got up to check. He pushed the window open a crack and squinted, only to see that soldiers with torches and swords were standing outside, and the inn had been surrounded, and outside the room, a loud shouting voice also sounded: "The government is searching for criminals, and those who dare to shield and connive will be killed!"
Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao and Kublai Khan's faces changed at the same time, and they didn't understand what went wrong in the end. But the matter has come to this point, but the two of them can't be allowed to think about it. At this time, seeing that the inside and outside of the inn had been surrounded by officers and soldiers, it was obvious that breaking the door or jumping out of the window was not a good strategy, Xiao Yao looked at this small room, and was at a loss for a while, anxious. Kublai Khan saw Xiao Yao's frowning, and knew that he was thinking of a plan to get out for himself again, so he immediately said: "Brother, your heart, eldest brother understands it." As the saying goes, it is up to people to make things happen, and it is up to heaven to make things happen. This time, our brothers have done their best, if there is really no escape, it is also God's will, and no one can complain. When we were praying, we said that we would not seek to be born on the same day and month of the same year, but to die on the same day and month of the same year. Today, big brother will go to Huangquan with you!"
When Xiao Yao heard Kublai Khan's words, he felt a burst of gratitude in his heart, thinking that he had gone through hardships all the way, but in the end he was still exposed for some reason, which was really providential. Thinking of this, Xiao Yao looked up to the sky and sighed, and the brick-paved roof of the inn suddenly caught his eye. Seeing this scene, Xiao Yao's eyes lit up, and he immediately thought about it. With a flicker of his figure, he stepped lightly and skillfully against the wind, and at once stepped on a tall wooden box, and then began to uncover the tiles with his hands. Seeing this, Kublai Khan immediately understood Xiao Yao's intentions, and immediately stepped forward to help. The two of them worked together, and in a few clicks they pulled out a hole large enough to fit in, and at this time, the footsteps of the soldiers searching outside the house were getting closer and closer. Seeing that the situation was critical, Xiao Yao didn't wait for Kublai Khan to say anything, and lifted him to the roof first, and when he was about to go up, the door was suddenly kicked open. Xiao Yao followed the prestige, only to see a group of guards with torches rushing in like tigers and wolves, while a ragged and emaciated man was caught in the middle. Through the bright firelight, Xiao Yao could see clearly that this person was none other than the hungry man he had helped during the day.
