Driving an oxcart and bringing two fat little children with them, the troupe just had to name Xu Yue and his party!
Zhou Yu's heartbeat quickened, and he shook his head, which looked particularly big due to weight loss.
"No, I didn't see...what theater troupe..."
The officers and soldiers looked at Zhou Yu condescendingly. The strong sense of oppression made Zhou Yu's heart beat faster and his breathing became rapid, but he did not dare to take a big breath and his face turned red.
The officer and soldier stared at him like this for a while, as if they were judging whether what he said was a lie. Zhou Yu felt that time had passed by for a long time, and the officer and soldier said to his companions calmly:
"Let's go."
Zhou Yu suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and did not dare to get up. It was not until the officers and soldiers had gone far that he relaxed and sat down on the ground.
He could actually lie and deceive these officers and soldiers, Xu Yue and others, to go in another direction, so that no matter what, there would be enough time for Xu Yue and others to leave smoothly.
But when this idea came up, Zhou Yu suddenly thought, what if these officers and soldiers wanted to take him up to guide him?
Once there is no trace of Xu Yue and others in the front, and these officers and soldiers find out that he lied, what he will face is death!
Therefore, in the end, Zhou Yu failed to lie as naturally as he imagined and provided wrong information to the officers and soldiers to interfere with them.
Zhou Yu felt that he had not done well enough, but the villagers looked at him with admiration.
The villagers thought that although Lao Lizheng was dead, Zhou Yu, a young man, gave them the backbone of their hearts.
The villagers continued to walk to the nearest town with an anxious mood, secretly praying that Xu Yue and others would go well.
But even if Zhou Yu and his party kept the officers and soldiers for a long time, the horses were still faster than the oxen.
When Xu Yue and his party walked to a cement road that had been abandoned due to the miners' riots and lack of raw materials, they encountered officers and soldiers chasing them.
Not only were there chasing troops behind them, but there also seemed to be a group of people in front of them. When they saw Xu Yue and his party, they all jumped up and quickly surrounded them on horseback.
There is a wolf in front and a tiger behind. When Xu Yue saw this posture, two plans immediately popped into her mind.
The first one, just go up and do it!
There were not many people in the front and back parties, a total of twenty-six people. With their family of three and the help of their twins, it was easy to cope with these twenty-six official servants.
Second, run away immediately!
When entering Jizhou, Xu Yue was ready to escape at any time. The dry food, luggage and water were basically packed separately. The important items were all in her research room. Everyone only needed to grab their own portion immediately and turn around.
Can run.
There are mountains and forests on both sides, so it is impossible to chase them on horseback, and the probability of escaping is very high.
However, neither of these options can maximize benefits and are not the current optimal solution. Xu Yue hesitated.
All members drew their weapons and looked at Xu Yue, waiting for her to make a choice, and everyone would obey unconditionally.
Only Kingfisher, who had just joined, was so panicked that he almost jumped out of his skin when faced with such a scene, not knowing what to do.
But his body instinctively grabbed a rolling pin and leaned against Wen Qing and other members.
As long as Wen Qing and other members take action, she will rush out and join them.
The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer, and the incompletely repaired road stirred up dust in the sky. The officers and soldiers looked at the three stopped and motionless ox carts with great joy.
Could it be that he was frightened by their sudden appearance?
Thinking of the huge bounty on the wanted poster, the officers and soldiers' eyes were almost red.
Seeing their excitement in scrambling, Xu Yue came up with a plan, signaled Wen Qing and others not to act rashly, and suddenly shouted:
"I want to see you adults!"
When the officers and soldiers who were galloping forward and prepared for a fierce battle heard this, they were all startled. They stopped their horses and surrounded the ox cart.
These are obviously two groups of officers and soldiers, both wearing different uniforms.
Oncoming were officers and soldiers from Hejian County. The eight people behind him were obviously from Yixian County, Zhongshan County.
The destination of Xu Yue and others is not difficult to guess. Hejian County has been occupied by the rebels, and the two sides are currently in a stalemate outside the city, both waiting for their own reinforcements.
Yuan Song, the governor of Jizhou, could guess that Xu Yue was going to Hejian County just by thinking about it.
Of these two groups of officers and soldiers, one wanted to intercept Xu Yue and others here, and the other pursued them all the way from Yixian County.
Xu Yue's words, "I want to see you sir," made the officers and soldiers on both sides look confused.
The pursuers from Yixian County shouted: "In front of us is Xu Yue, the traitor of the Xu family!"
Xu Yue raised her eyebrows and responded directly: "It's me!"
Seeing that Xu Yue did not hide anything and admitted openly, the officers and soldiers on both sides were shocked.
There were quite a few people in the troupe, and although the leader of the Xu family army was not as prestigious as Wang Pingping, he was still the man who captured Beidi alive among the thousands of troops.
She was only thirteen years old at that time, and she was already so powerful.
Now after so many years, if Xu Yue, who has already grown up, takes action, what kind of horror will it be?
The two officers and soldiers who had been thinking about arresting the person a moment ago to receive the reward realized that they might not be able to get this huge reward.
If it doesn't work well, your life may be involved.
Xu Yue looked at the reactions of the officers and soldiers, and this was all what she expected.
She has already given him a way to survive. It just depends on who of the two sides is smarter and knows how to choose the way of survival instead of death.
The officers and soldiers of Hejian County remembered what Xu Yue had just said. At that time, he didn't realize what it meant. Now he understood a little bit, so he asked tentatively:
"Who do you want to see?"
Xu Yue glanced at the number of officers and soldiers on both sides, and replied with a smile: "Of course it's Jizhou Mu Yuan Song!"
The eight men of General Qin Qian in Yi County suddenly frowned, but if the officers and soldiers on the opposite side did not rush, they would not dare to rush forward and capture Xu Yue.
"I heard that the reward for capturing me alive is also very generous, don't you think about it?"
The officers and soldiers of Hejian County asked distrustfully: "Will you, a rebel, be willing to follow us and die?"
"Whether I die or not is not something you can decide." Xu Yue analyzed them carefully:
"First of all, you need to know that there are only twenty-six people on both sides of you. You have no chance of taking us down, and you may even lose your life in vain."
"Secondly, you can also go immediately to mobilize reinforcements, but in this case, the credit will be equally divided among the others. The bounty is indeed large, but if there are more people, there won't be much left, right?"
"Finally, and most importantly, this is the grudge between Xu Jiajun and Gongsun Jun. It has nothing to do with you cannon fodder soldiers. Why should you sacrifice your lives for irrelevant people and things?"
Xu Yue suddenly smiled, "Since we can meet him, it is fate. You take me to see Yuan Song, and I will let you successfully get the bounty without taking any risks."
The officers and soldiers of Hejian County frowned. They would be lying if they said they were not impressed!
