The sudden death of a second steward in the Yao Mansion will only provoke unnecessary attention and unnecessary attention, and it will not be conducive to their actions.

Besides, what is it to be angry, he has not suffered any losses in Yicheng? It is just a little difficult, and he simply ignores it.

The guards in front led them to the living quarters below, where the other two doctors were already busy.

It turned out that since the beginning of the day, there have been servants in various convoys who have developed high fevers, vomiting and diarrhea. The illness came so quickly that more than a hundred people fell ill here before the nobles could react.

According to his description, he had abdominal pain in the middle of the night, his viscera seemed to be immersed in ice water, his limbs were cold, and he felt a little cold. Yan Saburo knew at a glance that they had drunk the water from the cold well. However, the people who can follow King Wei this time are all strong and strong people who can bear it, so the condition is far less serious than Liao Qing's, as long as they take the decoction to ward off the cold, they can also get better.

Several doctors explained the recipe to boil, but it would be an hour later for the effect to be drunk.

When Yan Saburo and the two returned to their residence, it was dawn.

Pressed for time. King Wei ordered that more than 100 people be thrown in Wushibao, and the convoy went on the road on time without a moment's delay.

With less than 100 people, more than a dozen cars in the convoy were empty. There was one that happened to be from Yaofu, which was originally full of people, but now it is full of goods. He Xiaoyuan used all the ten taels of silver rewarded by Lord Luo, and exchanged the right to ride alone from the third steward.

There wasn't much space left in the car, and the third steward nodded quickly.

Although the curtain is worn and leaky, at least there are no people in the car, and there is no need to scruple about speaking and acting.

In the afternoon, she took the opportunity to leave for a while.

She climbed back into the car and put a soundproof barrier in her hand, Yan Saburo asked while stroking the cat, "Is the signal sent out?" Just like He Xiaoyuan didn't figure out what kind of existence Chitose was, he didn't see He Xiaoyuan's method of poisoning and sending signals.

After being aggrieved in the bookcase for two days, Qianqian finally had the opportunity to come out to breathe the air, and by the way, she expressed her dissatisfaction with the master.

It rolled on Yan Saburo's knees, rubbing its head against his hands. Chitose also let it go, silent.

This day, she seems to be silent too.

"Of course. He Xiaoyuan patted the soil on his boots, "I have left marks all the way here, and someone must be behind me, so I just sent out the information of King Wei." Han Zhao's subordinates received it, so they would naturally fly with him. ”

She sighed, "It's up to him to get over." "Once Han Zhao knew that King Wei was here, and knew that the team was going to Mufu City, he would definitely mobilize military horses to catch up.

The world is impermanent, in the past, she longed to see him again in this life, but now she is looking forward to it, wishing that Han Zhao would appear in front of her in the next second.

"By the way, have you asked from Father-in-law Qian, why did King Wei choose Mufu City?" He Xiaoyuan pulled back his thoughts, "Mufu City used to be the capital of the country, needless to say rich and prosperous, but it is located on the plain, there is no natural danger to defend, and the city walls are far less solid than Shengyi. If it's just a retreat, it's good for King Wei to stay in Shengyi, why flee all the way to Mufu City?"

The monarch abandoned the capital and fled, which was a fatal blow to the people's hearts and morale. King Wei must have retreated with the idea of "as long as Qingshan is there, even if there is no firewood", then his destination will not be defeated by the Zhenbei army at least in a short time.

Is there a stronger place than Shengyi in the territory of Weiguo? He Xiaoyuan couldn't think of it. "I've heard that the walls of Shengyi are still extremely strong, and there is no way back. If it is used this time, the Zhenbei Army probably won't be able to take Shengyi easily, right?"

As soon as the words fell, the cat barked, and in Yan Saburo's ears it was a chitose sneer: "King Wei is not a fool, why don't you use the weapons that can be used?" ”

Yan Saburo just didn't hear it: "When King Wei was brainstorming, Gonggong Qian was waiting on the side. As far as he could hear, on the way to Mufu City, he would first pass through the Howling Wind Gorge. As long as they get through that canyon quickly in five days, the team is safe. ”

He Xiaoyuan frowned: "What kind of place is that?" Although she has been active in the territory of the country for many years, it is impossible for her to know everything about everything.

"The ground of Howling Gorge is eroded to the ground. Every year, around the time of the light snow season, a wind is generated from the ground and drills out of these holes. Yan Saburo repeated Chitose's words, "The wind invades the body like a steel knife, and it only takes a quarter of an hour to scrape people to the bone." Even the profound cultivators did not dare to go deep into it, let alone ordinary soldiers. ”

He paused: "From today, there will be five more days to be the light snow solar term!"

He Xiaoyuan understood: "King Wei wants to snatch the Howling Wind Canyon and leave the Gangfeng in the moat to the pursuers?"

"Yes. There are mountains and mountains, and there is only one mountain road in and out of the canyon. If the pursuers can't get through, they have to go back and make a big circle. By the time they had rounded Howling Canyon and headed northwest, it would be at least three months away. ”

Soldiers are fast. If the Zhenbei Army is dragged in the mountains for more than three months, only God knows how many major events will happen to the Wei Kingdom. The Marquis of Zhenbei weighed the pros and cons, and he had to stop for the time being, and wait for the re-preparations.

"Then King Wei can hold out longer, and have time to wait for the people from all walks of life to return to King Qin. From this point of view, Wei Wang's choice to abandon the capital is not so bad, at least to buy his scarcest time. Yan Saburo said in a low voice, "Besides, Zhenbei Hou, it's not so smooth sailing. He was able to occupy Shengyi all because of his suddenness, but there were many people in the country who were not convinced. “

He Xiaoyuan smiled: "If he doesn't kill King Wei in a short period of time and make Xiao Mi the only orthodox member of the royal family, I am afraid that many states and counties and generals with troops will take the opportunity to stand on their own, and there will be endless troubles in the future." ”

From the perspective of the country, of course, she hopes that this evil neighbor will be divided and civil strife will be rampant, but there is always something wrong with her imagining that scene.

At this point, both of them fell silent. With the two of them slowing down the pace of King Wei's westward escape, how easy is it to say?

The white cat scratched the back of Yan Saburo's hand, and he immediately poured a bowl of water for it.

Watching the white cat stretch out the little pink bar and drink happily, obviously thirsty, He Xiaokite also admired, I don't know how he accurately understood the needs of cats.

......

The convoy moved fast and did not rest until the evening. There is no safe and closed place like Wushi Fort to settle tonight, and the noble King Wei has to rest in a small town.

It is already in the mountains, and the town is also built on a low hill, with large terraced rice fields outside. Around the town, the mountains lay like dragons prostrate on the ground. Looking up, the sky seems to be confined to a frame.
