Seeing them enter the county seat, Elder Long waited for a while, and after careful observation, he said, "Sect Chuan, let's go quickly, go directly through the city, don't stop!"

Liu Jizu was a little puzzled and asked, "Is it safe for us to enter the city now?"

Elder Long stroked his beard and smiled, "It's good that you can think like this!" I took a closer look just now, there should be no abnormality here, the three of them went in smoothly, and the others entered the city without abnormality. The sect sent the three of them to intercept us, but we don't know the result, let's hurry, take this opportunity to pass through the city to save a lot of time around the city. ”

Liu Jizu nodded, he asked Ye Zi to take care of Elder Long, and he and Seventh Sister came to the front to drive again. Before the three cars came to the county seat, they found that the county seat was now heavily guarded, and there were many soldiers, all of whom were fully armed. But the gate guards just looked at their passing, casually checked the vehicle and let them in.

Three cars rushed in from Ximen, and Liu Jizu was startled as soon as they entered the door. Because the traffic flow outside was quite normal, but it was crowded with people and cars inside, and there were many more people from the county town than he had passed when he went to Zongmen before. Liu Jizu was very surprised, this county is very ordinary, how can so many people live. But he didn't have time to inquire, for the gates would be closed in another hour.

They went straight through the official road in the middle, the county seat is not big, and they passed through the east gate in more than 20 minutes, Liu Jizu found that there were many more cars entering the city here than at the west gate, and they were all dragging their families with large bags of luggage. Only then did he understand why there were so many people in the county, probably avoiding the war of the four kings.

These people were very strange when they saw Liu Jizu and them going east, and some kindly persuaded them not to go further to the southeast, because there might be a war over there. But Liu Jizu and they had no choice, on the one hand, there were chasing soldiers from the academy behind them, and on the other hand, they had to look for Yang Shengwu, so they could only go forward.

Fortunately, with so many people on the road here, it was much safer, and they didn't have to worry too much about a surprise attack by a large army. An hour later, as it was getting late, they found a place for the mules and horses to rest. They also unloaded their carts, ate something, fed the mules and horses fodder and drank.

Liu Jizu asked Elder Long while eating, "Grandfather, what if there is a real fight in front?"

Elder Long snorted disdainfully, "They can't fight!" The possibility of King Wu, King Chu and the imperial court fighting is very low. These two kings, King Wu can't bear to fight, and King Chu doesn't want to fight. King Wu is the ex-husband of the current Queen Mother, and it is said that the two still have a relationship. Moreover, King Wu was cowardly by nature and did not want to get involved in these fights. Unless he is completely controlled by ambitious men, it is difficult to say, but it is not easy to control a prince either.

The king of Chu was exiled as a king early, because his mother had a humble status, could not get the support of his mother's family, and had a shallow foundation, so he had already given up seizing the prince and turned to collect money.

I helped him calculate the accounts, it costs a lot of money to fight, and if you win, at most you will maintain the status quo, and the emperor will not be able to do it in his turn, and if he loses, everything for him will be gone. Therefore, as long as he is not a fool, he will find ways to maintain the status quo, or use the situation to expand his power and reap the benefits of several sides. But until the situation is clear, he will never help or offend anyone!

I also heard that this prince is so selfish that he is better than a monkey, how could he not think of this. Therefore, when it comes to war, it is safest to go to him now. But the problem with the king of Chu is that the common people are being squeezed too hard, the social security in the entire Jiangnan Province is not good, corrupt officials and bullies are rampant, and bandits and robbers are everywhere. Jiangbei Province doesn't know what it looks like now, because it hasn't been controlled by the King of Chu for a long time, but we have to be very careful when we go.

To be honest, if it weren't for the desire to leave the academy's sphere of influence as soon as possible, I wouldn't want to go to the territory of the King of Chu, and every time I go to him, I will be angry and sad. ”

"Why is that?" asked Liu Jizu puzzled.

Wu Lun explained: "Most of the normal people feel this way under the rule of the King of Chu, you think, seeing the corrupt officials and bullies rampant there, it is inevitable to get angry and angry, and get angry and angry, but there is nothing to be done, so you can only hold back and endure it, and the people there are extremely miserable, and it is inevitable that they will be moved by compassion when they see it, so they are angry and sad." ”

Liu Jizu thought that even a ruthless person like Wu Lun couldn't look at it, it seemed that this King of Chu was really full of evil. At this time, he suddenly thought of the four evils, the four evils are not one of the calamities, can I help the people of Chu Di get rid of this bully? I heard Elder Long say that this guy is the richest, how much money can he have?

Liu Jizu was still daydreaming, but Elder Long woke him up, asked him to change the mule, and set off again.

Elder Long was indeed extraordinary, and his analysis was extremely good, and then they walked for another night and a day, and they were very peaceful. Liu Jizu analyzed, maybe they were still exposed to the light of this situation, the road was full of people fleeing to the city, and even at night there was an endless stream, so it would be difficult for the academy to blatantly intercept and kill them, but everyone was surprised that Liu Jizu and them were going against the grain.

In the afternoon, after two days and two nights of running around day and night, they finally arrived at the boundary between Gyeonggi Province and Gangbuk Province. There is a mountain range between the two roads, and through this mountain road, it is Gangbuk Road. Originally, they should have crossed it in one go, but after such a long day and night journey, although people could still endure it, the mules and horses had reached their limit, and if they hurried like this, they would probably be exhausted to death.

Therefore, seeing that there were no more pedestrians on the road, Elder Long asked Liu Jizu to stop the car, he looked up at the sky, and suddenly his face became solemn. He got out of the car and personally went to the woods to find a vacant lot, and asked Liu Jizu to drive the car in and let everyone rest.

After the car was unloaded and the mules and horses were fed, Elder Long immediately called several people over, and asked Liu Jizu to tell Laifu to go to the edge of the clearing to be on guard, and then said solemnly: "Seeing that we are in Jiangbei Road, but the mules and horses can't run, if the academy wants to intercept us on a large scale, this is the last chance." Wu Lun's injuries and I are no longer serious, but we still can't play at full strength, and our combat power will be affected. And now it's getting dark, and if they take advantage of the darkness to ambush in front, it will be extremely disadvantageous for us, so I think we'll set off at dawn tomorrow, what do you think?"

Wu Lun replied: "Uncle Shi, just do as you say!" I see that the mules and horses are foaming at the mouth, we can't go anymore, we must take a rest, we can't escape the pursuit of the academy without our foot strength." ”

Liu Jizu also nodded in agreement.

Ye Zi asked at this time, "What if those villains come to attack us at night?"

Elder Long smiled: "It's still Xiaoxue who is smart, there is indeed this possibility, and the possibility is still very great." Based on my understanding of the academy, they will attack in many ways, setting up an ambush on the one hand, and chasing and killing on the other. The worst-case scenario is that both sides will block us in an encirclement, and we must avoid that situation. If my guess is right, there are already people following us behind, but because the road is all fleeing, there are too many people to start. However, it's also possible that they are deliberately gathering people waiting to make a move here!"

Except for Wu Lun, several people were shocked when they heard this, and Elder Long explained: "This is nothing, this is the consistent practice of the people of the rivers and lakes, a few of you have little experience, and if you can't die later, you will know it slowly." In the future, you must not be careless when you go out, as long as you are remembered by an organization like the academy, it is very difficult to get rid of it, we are still in a car, and with so many things, it is even more difficult, similar to a live target. ”

Liu Jizu asked, "How did they track it, why didn't I find anything abnormal?"

Elder Long pointed to the sky, and everyone looked up, only to see an eagle hovering above their heads, in mid-air, "In tracking this piece, among all the sects, the academy is the strongest, and there are some spirit masters in the Tongling Pavilion who specialize in tracking." They can tell by your footprints, wheel prints, smells, and so on, not to mention spirit animals? There are hounds on the ground, falcons in the sky, and pigeons in communication. Hmph, in short, you have nowhere to escape, unless you can quickly get out of the surveillance range of your ancestors before they send out to track. Otherwise, as long as you are targeted by the people of the Psychic Pavilion, it will be very difficult to escape, and the general trackers will definitely follow the people who are chasing us. ”

Ye Zi asked, "Then how do we deal with it?"

Elder Long replied, "It's very simple, since it's useless to hide, let's ambush them instead! Later, we will divide into four groups and perform their own duties. I am in a group with Xiaoxue, Wu Lun and Seventh Sister are in a group, Chuanzong is in your group, Wu Lun's daughter-in-law is in a group with Laifu. Wu Lun's daughter-in-law doesn't know martial arts, you and Laifu are responsible for watching the black tiger, horses and mules, and hide in the back. Xiaoxue and I, Wu Lun and Seventh Sister used hidden weapons to ambush on both sides. The sect is in the center, using bows and arrows to attack, and we have to make a few dummies to confuse them. When they do it to the dummy, it's a signal for us to do it. I guess they won't do it until it's dark and we go to sleep, and of course it's possible that no one will come, and we'll be busy, it's all a gamble, so you have to be prepared. ”

When everyone heard this, they had no opinion, so Elder Long began to give instructions and arrangements, and everyone got ready.

They first made six dummies out of old clothes and straw wrapping baggage, and put them in the car first. Then they began to prepare weapons, in addition to the usual weapons, they prepared all the folding crossbows in the treasure bag, plus their previous ones, there were as many as twenty-three, plus the hidden weapon barrels of the leaves, there were twenty-four, Elder Long and Wu Lun took twelve in a group. Liu Jizu prepared a bow and hundreds of arrows.

Elder Long found four places and dug shallow pits for everyone to hide, and at the same time explained: "The people who came to assassinate us are probably masters, they will use the urine or feces of fierce beasts to scare the dogs, and then touch them in and do it." You must not let your guard down, most of these people are wearing inner armor, and our bows and crossbows and hidden weapons have limited strength, so except for the ancestors, let's try to aim at the legs. When they are all shot down, they will make up a few arrows to the head and neck one by one, and finally the sect will use an iron gun to make up for a shot, which is safe. ”

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod their heads.

This is the first time Liu Jizu has heard that the academy will use the urine or feces of fierce beasts to scare dogs, and he doesn't know if it is effective. At this time, he suddenly remembered the porcelain vase that the gray-clothed man in the Shuziying camp was holding before, could it be that the porcelain vase also contained these things, specially used to deal with Laifu? The more Liu Jizu thought about it, the more he felt that this must be the case.

By the time these were done, it was already dark, and Elder Long asked them to light a fire in the middle of the ambush point, and made a hot meal, and a few people had enough to eat.

There are two people who are good at cooking, Wu Lun and Liu Jizu, and they eat very well outside. Liu Jizu roasted meat for everyone, and used the seasoning package he prepared in the sect, the taste was unique, and the fragrance spread far and wide.

Wu Lun used the fresh wild vegetables around to cook a pot of soup for everyone, he deserved to be a glutton, this pot of soup was also very delicious in the case of limited materials, they used it to make cakes and eat.

After eating, Liu Jizu summoned Laifu back and handed over the food to the master to feed. Elder Long made a look, and everyone took out the covers and dummies from the car, and made it look like a few people were asleep around the fire. Each of them took a dark bedding and draped it over their bodies, keeping out the cold on the one hand, and hiding it on the other, and then came to their respective pits and lay down to prepare, waiting.

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, it was two hours, Ye Zi had fallen asleep, and the seventh sister couldn't hold on anymore, so she also lay down in the pit and took a nap. But Elder Long, Wu Lun, and Liu Jizu were still holding on, the fire in their middle had already been extinguished, and it was dark all around, and only some sparks were still shining in the ash pile.

At this moment, there was a sudden movement in the distance, Liu Jizu looked from afar, and found a few black shadows, as if they were walking with their hands throwing some powder or liquid or something, it was estimated that it was the feces or urine of the beast that Elder Long said.

After a long while, the dark shadows saw that there was no sound from the people inside, so they flashed in and slowly touched their encirclement.
