Chapter 40: A Narrow Encounter
Chapter 40: A Narrow Encounter
Yao Yizhen pulled the hanging lock of hair behind her ear, and said with a charming smile: "Sister is so beautiful, can you rest assured when you go out to drive?"
Wang Chen smiled and said: "I am very relieved, I haven't met anyone who is more daring than me so far, who can't find it?"
The group of them were noisy and shouting in front of the inn, and the innkeeper was looking at it in confusion, what was the situation? Two people stayed in last night, and a group came out this morning, and what was even more exaggerated was that the handsome young man who used to live in the hotel suddenly changed his appearance and became a little fat man.
It turned out that Yao Yizhen dressed Wang Chen as a fat man, and even her originally thin face was somehow chubby by her. Wang Shiqi's skin was originally delicate and smooth, but she was turned into a black girl with freckles on her face, and even her clothes and hairstyle were dressed as maids. Yun'er directly put on a girl's clothes and took off a cute female doll.
Only Yao Yizhen didn't wear makeup, and she explained that she didn't show up much, and others didn't know much.
This group of people looked at it, and it was obviously Yao Yizhen, a broad lady, who took a small maid, a maid, a groom, and a sick young lady and mother and daughter to go to the position of relatives.
Yao Yizhen smiled: "This identity is not right, you are a little girl and a maid in a car, and I am a young lady driving, so it is not right for people to look at it." ”
Wang Chen pouted and said: "You won't say that you eloped with the little girl? You are reluctant to let your husband be too tired, so you will drive yourself." You can't lie, I'll teach you!"
Yao Yizhen said angrily: "How can I see that the little maid eloped with the maid and kidnapped the young lady?
Wang Shiqi interjected, "Sister, don't keep talking about elopement or something, it's so ugly!"
Wang Chen knew that her face was tender, so she was no longer entangled, so she returned to the car and sat down, and shouted to Fu Bo behind her, "Uncle Fu, are you okay?" Fu Bo responded, "Okay!" The two raised their whips and urged the horses, and the carriage went out of the town along the avenue, with the sound of hooves, and headed for the official road in the south.
Along the way, the horses were reined in and walked slowly. It's a pity that it's close to the winter solstice, and the bitter cold place is originally extremely depressed, and there are many dead trees and weeds on the roadside, so there is really no scenery.
It's just that the people in the carriage are very interested in this scene. Wang Chen is either fleeing or practicing in seclusion during this time, and it is rare to have such a leisurely time, accompanied by two beautiful women, talking and laughing all the way, which is really comfortable.
Compared with their comfortable journey of laughing all the way, the three of Sima Yan, who finally got out last night, can be said to have suffered a lot. In the middle of the night, the three of them left Yuzhenguan, found a sheltered dirt slope, hugged each other for warmth, and finally survived until dawn, and then rushed to the direction of the town along the official road.
Along the way, Sima Yan kept cursing. The three of them have been trapped for a long time, but they still don't know that Wang Qi is dead, and the general orders on their bodies have changed in time, and they can't be counted. Sima Yan scolded Wang Qi for sending himself out to vent his personal anger and almost lost his life, and scolded Wang Chen's kid for implicating himself in being tortured by the demon path of Yuzhenguan.
It wasn't until the mouth was dry that he stopped talking, and then he knew that he was tired, hungry and thirsty. The three of them found a large rock on the side of the road and sat down to rest. Pedestrians on the road saw that the three people were dressed in rags, but they were dressed like officers and soldiers, thinking that they were the wandering troops that had been scattered during the war, and they all went around to avoid them.
The common people know very well that this kind of sergeant is a pustule on the battlefield, but he is very brave in dealing with the common people, he robs property at every turn, fights when he disagrees, and does everything he can do to burn, kill, commit adultery, and do anything. Therefore, when the common people saw it, they avoided it from afar, as if they had encountered a plague.
Sima Yan was accustomed to this matter, so he didn't care about it, but felt that the people's fear was because of the general's majesty. It's just that for so long, I have only seen pedestrians walking, and I haven't even seen a common man riding a donkey, so I really can't be interested. When he was impatient, he suddenly saw two carriages coming from the north, and suddenly came to his senses, and woke up the two sleepy soldiers, "It's coming, go and see, borrow a car!"
The two soldiers rubbed their eyes, came to the side of the official road, watched the carriage slowly drive in, suddenly became energetic, and shouted: "Hurry, hurry up!"
It was none other than Wang Chen and his party, who had a narrow road together. Wang Chen saw the two shouting on the side of the road from a distance, and saw that although the two were dressed as sergeants, their clothes were tattered, not like chasing soldiers, and the other was sitting on a big rock on the side of the road, but like a general, he was silent at the moment and drove the car to the front.
Wang Chen arched his hand and said, "Master Jun, what's the matter with calling the small?"
The sergeant saw that the little guy who was driving the car was a little fat man, and there were vague female dependents in the carriage, and although the old man in the back car looked mighty, he was old, and a group of old and weak women were relieved, and felt that this car could be borrowed.
A sergeant pointed at Wang Chen, "Boy, your carriage has been requisitioned by officers and soldiers, hurry up and get off, our General Sima has an urgent military situation, hurry up!"
Wang Chen said, "Isn't this okay? My young lady is in a hurry to send the young lady to see a doctor, how can we get by giving you the car?"
Another soldier shouted, "Less, less nonsense, no, no, isn't there another one, one?"
Wang Chen couldn't help but laugh, pretending to be reluctant, "Master Jun, my lord is a famous rich man in the town, if you do this, you won't give my lord face, and it's not good to sue the government!"
The sergeant was about to speak, but was grabbed by the one next to him, and preemptively said: "Little minion, don't you have long eyes? Lao Tzu is an official! and sue the official government, is it not a matter of Lao Tzu's words?" He bullied the common people without knowledge, although the officers and soldiers and the official government all have an official character, but just saying an official word can bluff the common people into a stunned place.
Wang Chen's heart turned sharply, how to get rid of these two blockers. Although there are many pedestrians on the roadside, they are all afraid, and when they see this situation, it is too late to hide. I can't fight on this official road, and if I beat the officers and soldiers, maybe I will recruit more officers and soldiers, and I will inevitably expose my identity.
Wang Chen smiled and said: "Then let's do it, the little one will leave the silver for the military master, and how about the military master himself go to the town in front to hire a car?
When the sergeant saw that he was soft, he immediately became energetic, "The silver is left, and the carriage must also be left! I am comfortable serving the military master, and I have the benefit of your boy!"
Yao Yizhen was very unswerving in the carriage, he originally wanted to disguise himself and slow down, delay Wang Chen's time to Qingcheng Mountain, and think of a strategy to deal with Chong Hezi on the way, but now he encountered such two things that are not long-eyed as soon as he got on the road, which is really hateful!
So, Yao Yizhen secretly used a forbidden method in the carriage, trapped the two sergeants, and urged Wang Chen: "Hurry up, don't pay attention to them!"
Wang Chen saw that the two sergeants suddenly stood still, unable to speak, very strange, knowing that Yao Yizhen had moved his hands and feet, and hurriedly urged the horse forward, and Fu Bo was anxiously watching behind, and saw Wang Chen's carriage and horse moving, so he naturally followed closely.
Sima Yan, who was still sitting on the side of the road, saw the carriage moving forward, and the two pro-soldiers suddenly stopped moving, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, jumped up, and shouted: "Boy, stop for Lao Tzu!"
Wang Shiqi exclaimed in the carriage: "Brother Wang Chen, why is there another one?"
Sima Yan suddenly heard the word 'Wang Chen', and his heart suddenly jumped, which 'Wang Chen' was it? During this time, these two words reminded him all the time that all the pain and torture were born from this, like a thunderbolt in the air!
Wang Chen turned his head suddenly, and saw that although Sima Yan who pounced on him was sloppy and ragged, his expression was fierce, and his white face and slight beard had a familiar feeling, and he immediately knew that the other party might know him and his name. Now that the hiding has been revealed, he made a decision immediately, his body moved, and he flashed in front of Sima Yan from the car!
Sima Yan was stunned for a moment, and before he could see his figure clearly, Wang Chen slashed his palm on the side of his neck, knocking him to the ground, and then flashed back to the car and galloped away!
Not long after Wang Chen left, Chong Hezi's figure suddenly appeared next to Sima Yan, who had fainted, and looked at it indifferently, the sleeves of his robe brushed Sima Yan's body, and then disappeared in a flash.
Sima Yan quickly woke up, slowly opened his eyes, and got up with a bone, and the two pro-soldiers were still there motionless. Sima Yan had already determined that it must be Wang Chen in the carriage, and he was deeply impressed by this ghostly young man, and he was all thrown by him under full vigilance. You must know that the person who can beat himself like a child and has no power to fight back has only met Wang Chen so far.
At this time, if you catch up, you will be killing yourself. Sima Yan was extremely bold, but not reckless. He originally saw that this young man was alone, and his actions were like a dragon without its head and tail, and it was really difficult to catch it. But now it was accompanied by two carriages, and five or six people fled together, and the people accompanying them were ordinary people.
Then this is easy to do, just transfer a team of people to restrain the others, this kid is not obedient?
Sima Yan thought about these things in his mind, but it was only a few breaths before they were decided. Looking back, the two pro-soldiers were still there, most of them had fallen for Wang Chen's evil law, and it seemed that these two people couldn't count on it.
If he returns to Yang Mulong to transfer troops, Wang Jue will most likely make things difficult for himself, but where can he ask for help at this urgent moment?
Just when he was in trouble, a pair of men and horses came from far and near, the sound of horses' hooves and the footsteps of the infantry running roared, and the horses in front of him ran fast, and soon arrived in front of Sima Yan.
Sima Yan was overjoyed when he saw that it was a Song officer and soldier, but he didn't know who led the troops. You must know that it is a great crime to kill the head to block the way of the army!
Just as he was hesitating, he suddenly pulled the reins on his horse, and immediately the general said, "Huh!", circled the horse, and shouted, "Isn't this Brother Sima? Why are you here?"
Sima Yan looked at it and said happily: "Brother Zhu, how did you come here?" Fortunately, fortunately, you must help your brother!" It turned out to be his old acquaintance, and it was appropriate for the two of them to be fellow villagers.
This general surnamed Zhu is none other than the one who was ordered to arrest Wang Chen with Chen Deyi. This morning, I received a message from the flying pigeon, and found the whereabouts of the criminal, and chased it all the way.
The two talked a little, but they were both the same goal, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed. General Zhu ordered a junior colonel to vacate a mount for Sima Yan and chase Wang Chen together.
Sima Yan pointed to the two soldiers who were still standing on the side of the road, and said to General Zhu: "I still have two brothers, who have fallen for the thief's evil law, and I hope that my brother will help." ”
General Zhu had already paid attention to the two pro-soldiers, and when he heard that he had fallen into an evil spirit, he smiled and said, "This is easy to do!" He stretched out his hand and led a young man dressed as a noble son next to him and said: "This is Li Shaotang's son-in-law, Wang Xiangye's niece and son-in-law, the two of them are so close!"
Sima Yan hurriedly arched his hand and said, "Long Yang! Long Yang!" He saw that this Li Gongzi looked dignified, but one arm was hung around his neck with a strip of cloth, and his forearm was wrapped up, obviously injured.
Li Shaotang 'hum!' was a return salute, and said in his heart: "If I weren't for Prime Minister Wang's niece and son-in-law, would you still look up to me for a long time?" You have never seen me, and you have never heard of me, what do you say about looking up for a long time?"
General Zhu saw Li Shaotang's unswerving expression, he was used to seeing this person's arrogant temper in the past few days, and he didn't care, and introduced a Taoist person behind, "This is the immortal of the Maoshan faction, Fu Zhenren!" When he introduced this Taoist person to Sima Yan, he was extremely respectful, and his smile was full, "Fu Zhenren's mana is very strong, and the evil method to deal with that thief is naturally easy to catch." ”
The Taoist surnamed Fu had a ruddy complexion, smooth skin like a woman, holding a dust, a long sword behind his back, sitting on a horse, his demeanor was elegant, and he said: "The general is too famous!"
Sima Yan hurriedly arched his hand and said: "The Dao Chief's mana is strong, can you take action to solve the evil art of the two pro-soldiers below?"
Fu Zhenren shook the dust and said with a smile: "It's just a gesture, you don't have to be polite." I saw his lips squirm, as if he had recited a few incantations, and pointed at the two men with his left hand, and shouted, "Break!" The two sergeants' bodies suddenly loosened and fell to the ground.
A sergeant had already gone over to help the two of them up and take care of them properly.
Sima Yan was immediately impressed, and Fu Zhenren smiled: "It's just a small skill of carving insects, and the two of them are extremely ordinary forbidden methods, and they will be fine after a day or two of rest." ”
Li Shaotang looked at a few of them, extremely impatient, he didn't dare to be rude to that person, and said to General Zhu: "General Zhu, we have already delayed a lot of time, it's not good to get down to business if we miss the right thing, right?"
