The magistrate was busy flattering and said, "General Xie's archery skills have no ancients before, and there is no one after him, I am afraid that even General Li Guang will be ashamed to see it, and the general's archery skills can show the sun and the moon, and can show the sun and the moon."

Huo Zixin said with a smile, "The county magistrate has won the prize, I have a unique job, called the truth and falsehood, that is, put a wine glass on the top of the person's head, I ask at will, if the answer is true, then the archery will shoot through, the wine glass will be shot through, if the answer is a lie, then the bamboo arrow will shoot through the person's head, I have already tried, and it has been fulfilled, whether the county magistrate wants to play."

The magistrate's face changed drastically, he was able to become the magistrate, in addition to his father donating money to buy officials, he relied on the eight-character proverb of observing words and watching the color and seeing the wind and making the rudder, and now seeing these two people playing this kind of trick, how could he not know the heart of killing him, he hurriedly knelt down and said, "Two generals, the lower officials know everything wrong, the lower officials know everything this time, and ask the two generals to show mercy!"

Seeing that he was still an acquaintance, Lao Lai took the giant bow from Huo Zixin's hand and said coldly

"Where is Kexu City now?"

The magistrate no longer hesitated, and hurriedly said, "Lord Ke once flew a pigeon two days ago to pass a book, and ordered the surrounding county governments to pay close attention to the movements of pedestrians, and if they find suspicious characters, report them immediately!

Huo Zixin's eyes widened, and he said, "Lao Tzu is asking where Kexu City is, don't you understand?"

The magistrate hurriedly said, "Lord Ke went north from Weinan City, where did he go, the lower officials don't know, the lower officials really don't know!"

The two glanced at each other, and their hearts were not good, it was already very difficult for Xie Tong to deal with a behemoth Yellow River Gang, plus the two of them were seriously injured, and when they walked, there was no convenience for their brothers at all, if Ke Xu Cheng led a large number of masters to rush over, it would be difficult to escape.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, the magistrate hurriedly said, "The two generals can rest assured, the lower officials will not tell the guest about this matter, as if it didn't happen, the two generals can rest assured that they can hurry." ”

How do you know that Lao Lai did not accept his affection, but said coldly, "Send a message to Kexucheng immediately, and inform him of our attack on the Yamen of the prefect of Huaxian County and the release of the prisoners." ”

The magistrate couldn't believe his ears, these two people were crazy, not to mention exposing their identities in the case of wanting, but also to report to the pursuers, this must be fake, it was a temptation, the magistrate was busy saying, "The two generals don't need to test the lower officials, the lower officials will not leak any news, please rest assured?"

Lao Lai slapped him in the face and said angrily, "Don't be a damn thing, don't understand what Lao Tzu is saying, let you report the news, your mother-in-law and mother are like a girl!

The county magistrate scolded the eighteenth generation of Lao Lai's ancestor in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it on his face, so he hurriedly wrote a note and wrote a book. After the magistrate finished writing, he hurriedly gave it to Lao Lai, in his opinion, this person was much hot-tempered than Xie Tong.

After looking at it, Lao Lai said, "It's about the same, hurry up and send it out."

The magistrate didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly ordered someone to tie it to a carrier pigeon and send it out.

After the carrier pigeon was issued, the county magistrate said respectfully, "Two generals, why don't you go to the county government to sit down, and the lower officials will order someone to prepare wine and food."

Lao Lai said, "I don't need you to be courteous here."

The magistrate complained bitterly, he didn't know what bad luck had fallen, but he got into trouble with these two evil stars, he couldn't beat them, he couldn't go, he couldn't go, he was very embarrassed, so he stopped making a sound.

Huo Zixin saw that everything was dealt with, and he was afraid that he would be delayed for a long time, so he hurriedly said, "Let's go!"

Zhixian had the tip of his ear, and when he heard that the two of them had the intention of leaving, he was overjoyed, and pretended to stay, "Are the two generals leaving, aren't they going to rest for one night?"

Lao Lai said angrily: "If you don't leave, are you still waiting for Ke Xucheng to arrest me? Lao Tzu asked you to give you a word, and when you saw Ke Xucheng, he said that Lao Tzu told him to be nosy and do his own thing, otherwise he would kill his dog! Let's go!"

When the two left the county office, the magistrate was still trembling.

Huo Zixin said, "Lao Lai, is it too big to play this time, privately release criminals, make trouble with the county government, each of them is a capital crime, and it exposes your whereabouts and mine, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to hide your traces!"

Lao Lai said with a smile, "This time there is a big change in temperament, Huo Xiaozi actually became cautious, and Lao Lai actually went crazy, this is unbelievable, ha, every time he mentions Kexu City, Lao Tzu is fucking angry, and he always wants to spill out the anger of the more than ten years he has suffered in Yanjing." ”

They both burst out laughing at the same time.

Although Huo Zixin is young and competitive, he is still very cautious in doing things, and after laughing, he asked, "I always feel that you have a back move, otherwise how can you swagger and cause trouble, and we must know that escaping is what we should do."

Lao Lai smiled and said, "It's still seen by you, after this big trouble in the county government, Kexucheng will inevitably kill a horse gun, because our goal is exposed, no matter how fast we run, there are always traces to follow, and what awaits us will be the negligent Skynet." ”

Huo Zixin said: "Tell me your plan, tell me! Lao Tzu can't wait!"

Lao Lai said, "Actually, it's not a plan, we just need to go east, Ke Xu Cheng will definitely not guess."

Huo Zixin said in his heart, could it be that Lao Lai is angry and crazy? Dozens of miles to the east is Tongguan, and it is troublesome to enter and exit Tongguan normally, not to mention that Xie Tong has such a big thing, it is strange if he does not close the pass, at least he must hold a specific pass to pass the pass. But Lao Lai looks confident, and he must rely on it.

Lao Lai looked at Huo Zixin's doubts, and hurriedly explained, "The guard of Tongguan is my best friend, named Yuwen Yishuo, according to legend, he is a descendant of Yu Wenhua, this person is loyal and brave, loves to make friends, I once saved his life, I believe that this time I will go unimpeded."

Huo Zixin scolded with a smile: "Your grandmother, why didn't you say it earlier, the old man who was scared for several days, now he is carefree, after arriving at Tongguan, we will eat and drink a lot, and go north to meet them!"

The two got a few old horses in the county government and galloped all the way to Tongguan.

Xie Tong put Yi Wudaunt on the horse's back, he didn't dare to whip the horse quickly, for fear that Yi Wudaunt couldn't stand it, so he had to ride in front, pull the reins of Yi Wudaunt's horse, and move forward slowly, while Yi Wudaunt lay lazily on the horse's back.

I walked for two hours, but I haven't gone far.

Yi Wudaunt said anxiously, "Brother Xian, put me down! You can escape farther by yourself, take me with you, and no one can escape." Besides, Gu Heng is cunning and cunning, and he definitely won't wait for twelve hours. ”

Xie Tong retorted, "Big brother, don't mention this, we are brothers, we have to advance and retreat together in life, and we have to die in one place, and the younger brother will not leave the eldest brother alone." Hey, Huo boy, when they got there, don't they know that they should come to help meet us?" Xie Tong was nagging, but he kept thinking of a way in his heart.

It will definitely not work out like this, the Yellow River Gang is huge, this area of the Yellow River is their territory, full of their eyeline, no matter how the two choose, they are unable to escape from this range, the front must have been laid out in a full set, waiting for them to get in, the difference is just the distance of escape, maybe their initial choice is wrong, such a simple idea, how could the enemy not consider it.

Just as he was thinking about it, Yi Wuxing secretly dismounted and walked in the opposite direction.

Xie Tong found out about this situation, hurriedly reined in his horse, and asked, "Big brother, what do you mean by this?"

Yi Wudaunt said, "I have made up my mind, you can go by yourself! Big brother can still delay them for some time!"

Xie Tong was moved in his heart, this is a good brother, compared with Song Wenyuan, it is a world of difference.

Suddenly, he had an idea, since everyone thought that they would inevitably flee to the north, if they suddenly changed direction, would it have a miraculous effect?

Yi Wudaunt dragged his injured leg and staggered south.

Xie Tong said excitedly, "Big brother, get on the horse, there is a way!"

Yi Wudaunt said disdainfully: "Don't try to trick me into getting on the horse." If there is anything to pay attention to, let's talk about it first!"

Xie Tong said with a smile: "We don't go north, go to Tongguan, the more dangerous the place, the safer the place, as long as you mix through the Tongguan pass, you can jump with the fish, the sky is high and the birds can fly, even if you can't mix the defense, you will be fighting to the death, it is better than drilling the enemy's trap! ”

Yi Wudauntless chewed on his words, and suddenly said, "The idea is really good, in this way, the enemy will not be able to touch our whereabouts in the short term, and Lao Tzu can also recover some strength during this time, even if he dies, he will have to pull two cushions." ”

Xie Tong and the others immediately changed directions, originally the two of them had reached the boundary of Dali County, this big turn, but the effect was very good, after walking until dusk, they didn't encounter any pursuers, I don't know if Gu Heng kept his promise, or this method was extremely effective.

The situation of the two of them is very different from Lao Lai, Lao Lai and Huo Zixin are not injured, and Xie Tong himself has not healed from his internal injuries, and he also has a more serious injury Yi Wuxing, which is really hard, since the two left Chang'an, not only did they sleep in the open, but they didn't even change their clothes, and after a heavy rain, they relied on their body temperature to dry their clothes.

After nightfall, Xie Tong was tired, and the food given by Li Zeyuan had already been eaten by the two, and in desperation, Xie Tong found a remote mountain forest, tied the horse, and the two sat down to rest.

This area is dominated by mountains and forests, since then to the south of the great river, all the mountains, in addition to Tongguan and Bashu, other places want to attack Chang'an, it is difficult to climb to the sky, therefore, Chang'an is easy to defend and difficult to attack since ancient times.

Xie Tong caught two hares, lit a fire, and roasted rabbit meat.

The two sat in front of the fire, neither of them spoke, this is a rare quiet and peaceful time after escaping Chang'an, although it is unknown what the future holds, but at least it is calm for now.

Xie Tong was roasting rabbit meat while thinking about what happened during this time, it can be said that although he has achieved many advantages during this time, it can also be called a political victory, but to put it simply, what he got was what originally belonged to his own camp, including Hong Shan, including Shi Jianing, the princess of Murowei, and what he lost was also what belonged to them, the house arrest of the Li Xiao brothers, and the crime of assassinating Hong Ru, were all unacceptable to him. He couldn't figure out why the struggle with the clan was so difficult, so difficult that it was difficult to move an inch, and now, the crime of assassinating Hong Ru had made him use his advantages, and the form of hard work and the honor he had worked so hard to obtain were all in vain, and he had become a more notorious person than the disciples of the Huangtian faction, and he had become a thorn in the side of the clans in the world, and the public enemy of Confucianism.

Yi Wuxing has been meditating and cultivating, when his true qi circulates for two big weeks, he only stopped a little, this luck, internal injuries have been repaired a lot, although there is still a big gap from the peak state, but he has been able to barely move with people with poor martial arts, but the leg injury is extremely serious, and it is extremely inconvenient to walk, he saw Xie Tong sighing and asked, "Are you thinking about Chang'an again!"

Xie Tong nodded and said, "Big brother, why did we end up in such a field." ”

Yi Wuxing suddenly laughed and said, "It's very simple, although the virtuous brother is jealous and hateful, and he is incompatible with Sima Xuan and other clans, but in the final analysis, he is still a chivalrous person, who only knows how to protect his own interests, and will not want to snatch the rights of others. ”

Xie Tong said, "How could it be! If I were such a person, how could I repeatedly gain the upper hand over Sima Xuan!"

Yi Wudaunt said: "This is the key, your so-called victory, in fact, is just to take back what belongs to you, or to maintain your own dignity, do you want to go over to fight Sima Xuan and Song Wenyuan? They are calculating you all the time, calculating King Wu, just look at the fate of the Li Xiao brothers! They never think about finding Sima Xuan's loopholes and weaknesses, but have been surviving and resisting in Sima Xuan's attack, seemingly victorious, but actually defeated!"

He paused and continued, "This is Sima Xuan's cleverness, always attacking your weaknesses and looking for your loopholes, so that you are always busy in defense and unable to fight back. ”

Xie Tong was like an earth-shattering shock after hearing this, he had never thought about this problem, the goal of thinking in the past was to overthrow the clan, but he never knew how to start, he always wanted to solve it by force, but he didn't know that force was the lowest way in the political struggle, and some things could not be solved by force.

Yi Wuxing exclaimed, "Don't think about it, the rabbit meat will be mushy in a while." ”

Xie Tong smiled dumbly, and hurriedly handed the roasted rabbit meat to Yi Wuxing's hand, while he ate the other one.

Yi Wuxing gently tore off a piece, put it in his mouth, and said with a smile, "It would be nice if there were a few pots of wine, even if it was the kind of inferior rice wine that I drank when I was trapped in Yangzhou!"

Xie Tong didn't follow his words, but sneered, "When did Brother Fearless become so pessimistic, as if his life was not long in coming, this is very different from your style, at least now we are all living well, eating rabbit meat and enjoying the moonlight."

Yi Wuxing scolded with a smile: "Lao Tzu is not pessimistic! When one day, Lao Tzu will return to the Central Plains and seek revenge on Sima Xuan and Song Wenyuan! But then again, even if we can return from the desert safely, we can only operate in secret, and it will definitely not work in the open, or like Huang Chao, a legitimate rebellion, it is impossible to hope that we will be rehabilitated. He sighed, and said, "Brother Xian, what you lack is not enough viciousness, the soft-heartedness towards the enemy is cruelty to yourself, standing in your position, if it is replaced by Datuk Venerable or Zhu Wen, Sima Xuan will not dare to be so rampant, but it is a pity that Sima Xuan's luck is too good, the opponent is often either too weak or too righteous, if you don't change your soft-heartedness, sooner or later you will have to follow the old road of Huaiwang."
