Jingzhao Mansion is also known as Chang'an, which is the city of Xi'an in later generations.

Now Jingzhao Mansion has quietly fallen into the hands of the Tangut people not long ago.

There were not many defenders in the city, and they were tricked into the ambush circle by Li Ruolan with a false holy decree stolen from Bai Sheng, and they were wiped out.

The officials and messengers who ran away and fled to Bianliang to report were only a very small number of them, and the rest of the officials either surrendered to Western Xia or were beheaded by Li Ruolan.

Because Li Ruolan only led thousands of light cavalry to attack all the way south, the defenders who stayed in Jingzhao Mansion were only 1,000 people, in order to prevent accidents, Li Ruolan did not change the banner of Jingzhao Mansion, and the banner of the Great Song Dynasty was still hung on the head of the city.

This is also the reason why the Central Plains Heroes went to Yanzhou City through Jingzhao Mansion, but they didn't know that Jingzhao Mansion had fallen.

Of course, Bai Sheng knew about the fall of Jingzhao Mansion, but he did not have no intention of entering the city of Jingzhao Mansion, although he could deliberately let Wang Jin know that the Western Xia people occupied Jingzhao Mansion, and then use the Western Xia people defending the city to block Wang Jin's pursuit, but this has advantages and disadvantages.

Because it is very likely that he will meet Li Ruolan in this vicinity, in case he does, he does not have a good reason to explain the reason why he left Yanzhou City and came to Jingzhao Mansion, even if Liang Hongyu committed something in Yanzhou City, he "Bai Qin" should not leave his post without permission.

Why would Bai Sheng rather pretend to be stupid and follow Liang Hongyu to escape in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion? Of course he is here to block Li Ruolan, is this Jingzhao Mansion your Xixia's? I want to make it mine!

So he proposed to go around the city, and Liang Hongyu naturally obeyed.

His choice was exactly what Wang Jin expected, watching Bai Sheng and the two of them riding around the city, Wang Jin nodded again and again in the back: "I don't expect him to dare to enter Jingzhao Mansion, chase!"

In Wang Jin's cognition, Jingzhao Mansion is the world of the Great Song Dynasty, and Jingzhao Mansion has its own Song army garrison, and these two Western Xia spies don't want to pass through the city, because then even if they are not intercepted and interrogated by the defenders when they enter the city gate, they will be sealed in the city by themselves and the Song army of Jingzhao Mansion.

Bai Sheng and the two went around from the northwest of the city to the southeast of the city, but they were blocked by a big mountain, although there was also a mountain road on the mountain in front, but it seemed that the higher they went, the more steep they became, and they were afraid that they would abandon their horses if they ran for another while.

"Hongyu, this is Huashan, right?" Bai Sheng had passed by Huashan during his westward expedition, so he thought so.

"This is not Huashan, this is Zhongnan Mountain. We came from the west of the city to the south, and only from the north of the city to the east will we see Huashan. ”

Liang Hongyu introduced in time that when she came to Yanzhou City from Bianjing a few years ago, she passed through Zhongnan Mountain.

At the same time of introduction, she also proposed: "Brother Bai, I think we can use Zhongnan Mountain to get rid of the pursuers behind." ”

Bai Sheng knew what she meant, if both sides continued to chase on horseback, he was afraid that he would never be able to get rid of Wang Jin, so he immediately agreed.

The two of them discussed and rode up the mountain, but after running around the mountain for a while, they were surprised to find that they were back at the foot of the mountain they had just arrived.

The hoofs of Wang Jin's pursuers echoed endlessly in the mountains, always chasing after them.

"No, Hongyu, didn't you notice that this place was where we just came?"

"I also think like, no! Brother Bai, we're lost. ”

Bai Sheng nodded and said: "It should be lost, we need to find the exit as soon as possible, Wang Jin and they are turning in the mountains, we can't afford to turn around." ”

As he spoke, Wang Jin and his team of cavalry came out of the mountain road. Wang Jin and the others were only afraid that the mountain road would be rugged and they would have to get off the horse, so they lost their goal, but they didn't notice such a strange thing as chasing a circle and returning to the original place.

"Go on the mountain road on the right!" Seeing Wang Jin chasing after him, Bai Sheng made a decisive choice.

There was a mountain road on the right in front of them that was narrower and more rugged than the one before, and it seemed that they could not ride forward just by turning the mountain, so they had not chosen this path before.

But now there is only one way to take this path, because this is the only way to avoid going back.

Contrary to what they expected, they had just turned the mountain when they noticed that the scenery in front of them had changed dramatically, and after the mountain was a flat river, the road became unusually open, and on both sides of the road were dense forests.

"It's okay now, that road just now is really strange!" Liang Hongyu and Bai Sheng sped up their horses.

After galloping forward for a while, the two were even more surprised, because there were people in front of them, and in the boundless night, a bonfire faintly appeared.

There were people next to the campfire, two groups of people.

The two groups of people sat opposite each other on both sides of the bonfire, and there was no conversation between them, just sitting silently opposite each other, Bai Sheng's eyes were sharp, and he recognized the two groups of people from a distance through the face towel, and more than half of them were acquaintances.

Sitting on the left side of the bonfire were Fang Baihua, Pang Wanchun, Pang Qiuxia, brothers and sisters, and several of the twelve gods of Jiangnan, all of whom were Fang La's Demon Sect subordinates, and Murong Qian was actually among them.

On the right side of the bonfire sat Huang Kunpeng's mother and son, and the three and a half people who were with them did not know each other, but they could be seen to be two pairs of mother and son, one of which was a woman slightly younger than Madame Huang and a half-grown child who was only eight or nine years old than Huang Kunpeng.

The other mother and son are even younger, the mother is just a young woman, and the young woman is not afraid that Fang Baihua's gang is mixed with men and women, and is nursing the child in her arms next to the fire, Bai Sheng judged that the child is no more than two years old, otherwise it should be weaned in this era.

As if hearing the sound of horses' hooves, when Bai Liang and the two galloped close to the bonfire, the two groups of people next to the bonfire looked at them.

Seeing such two groups of acquaintances in the middle of these barren mountains and mountains, Bai Sheng felt a little strange, why did Mrs. Huang's mother and son come here?

Why did they sit around the same campfire, when they were supposed to be hostile sides? And where did Huang Sheng go?

The war horse ran very fast, and in a blink of an eye, Bai Sheng and Liang Hongyu were close to the bonfire, Bai Sheng did not plan to stop and greet such two people, let alone greet them, because the people in the Demon Sect were likely to treat him as Bai Qin, but Madam Huang's mother and son would treat him as Bai Sheng, and Fang Baihua was more likely to recognize him as Bai Qin.

Whether it was appearing in front of these people as Bai Qin or Bai Sheng, it was not a good thing for Bai Sheng.

Therefore, the war horse he controlled did not slow down, and when he passed by the campfire, he changed his accent and said to Liang Hongyu: "Let's go quickly, don't stop here." ”

As soon as Liang Hongyu answered, Fang Baihua next to the bonfire laughed and said, "Are you young couple eloping?" I advise you to sit down and rest, because it won't be long before you come back here. ”
