He asked tentatively: "May I ask Brother Liu, how long will it take?"
Liu Ji showed hesitation and said slowly: "Under normal circumstances, it would only take five or six days. However, our trip will probably take some detours and detour to some places. Although I know something about the Chu land,
But there are some places that I haven’t been to before, so it will take some time.”
"About ten days or so."
Hear the words.
Qu Bo's face turned completely dark.
Ten days?
This is absolutely impossible.
first.
They simply couldn't trust Liu Ji.
Liu Ji himself was not familiar with this route, so why should they let them take the risk? Moreover, they did not think that Liu Ji was an honest and honest person. They had only known each other for a few days, and Liu Ji had already reached out to ask for things many times.
If he goes on, I'm afraid Liu Ji will get worse.
after all......
They are fugitives now!
Secondly.
They are worried about scams on the road.
If Liu Ji is not a peaceful person, how can he honestly lead the way for ten days?
Xingan and Lujiang are very desolate. If Liu Ji arranges the manpower in advance, it will not be a bad idea to take money and kill people. They can even use it to claim credit. How dare they put their lives in Liu Ji's hands?
Qu Bo's face turned pale.
He said slowly:
"Brother Liu, I'm afraid this won't work."
"Even if Brother Liu has not seen the current situation in the city, he must have heard it. Our three major clans have now become homeless dogs and are being hunted by the whole city. Although not many people know the news about the escape of the six of us at the moment,
It will be discovered later."
"I'm afraid people will flock to look for me then."
"The path chosen by Brother Liu is excellent, but it is really unbearable for us. The period of more than ten days is too long, and there are too many variables. Chu Di has become a dangerous place for us. We really don't dare to stay in Chu Di."
Ten days, Brother Liu, please forgive me."
"May I ask Brother Liu if there are other routes?"
Qu Bo asked tentatively.
Liu Ji looked displeased, as if he was a little dissatisfied with Qu Bo's objection, but when he touched the gold jade that was already a little warm, his expression softened slightly, he thought for a moment, and said slowly: "There are indeed other escape routes.
.”
"But it's relatively more dangerous."
"The first is to go east through Changfeng County, but Changfeng and Shouchun are next to each other. Once Shouchun detects someone fleeing, I'm afraid it will spread to Changfeng in an instant. There are layers of defenses along the way, and it will be very difficult to escape.
difficulty."
"I don't think this route is very good."
"Besides."
"Even if we go north through Fengtai County, the problem is the same as above, and we can only go north to Wei and Han, and the officials in these three places are all appointed by the Qin court. I'm afraid it will be difficult for brothers to go to Wei and Han.
Find a place to stay in two places."
"In my opinion, just go south."
"Although the distance is a bit far, it is still far from Xianyang after all. Qin Ting's control is not that strong and it is relatively safer. Firstly, you can go to Wuyue, and secondly, you can use the road to go north."
Listening to Liu Jisha's interesting introduction.
Qu Bo and others disagreed.
What Liu Ji said was sometimes true, but Liu Ji only considered the land route from beginning to end, and did not consider the water route. This was Liu Ji's limitation, either limited by his vision or influenced by
Limited to money and silk, or perhaps he has never traveled on a large boat in his life, so he does not understand waterways.
But they are different.
They sailed across the water in a big boat.
The Chu land is already densely covered with water systems and various water channels. However, during the Warring States period, many water channels were abandoned due to wars for hundreds of years, and it was very inconvenient to operate. However, Qin Guang's water conservancy work in recent years has reconnected the half-paralyzed water system.
.
Waterways should be their first choice.
and.
They made this decision after careful consideration.
They have not been idle these days.
They had been studying the method of escape. From the beginning, they chose the water route because they could not trust Liu Ji and did not dare to believe it. After looking at the map for the whole night, they gradually came to a unified understanding.
Thinking of escaping from Dongjin Ferry!
first.
Dongjin Ferry is not far from Shouchun, but it is not close either. The distance is only about ten miles. With their footsteps, they can reach it at night. At present, their escape has not been known to the Qin people.
, also means that they are safe now.
They could just rent a boat and take it down the river.
Secondly.
Now is the time when spring plowing is busy, and it is easy to be spotted by land route, but the water route is different. As long as they do not show up, it is difficult for others to identify their identities. In this way, they can escape boldly without fear, and can maintain their dignity.
This is very important to them.
They are nobles.
How can you let yourself be humbled so easily?
Come three.
Taking the water route takes less time.
Even if the Qin people discovered that they had fled and ordered searches everywhere, by the time the Qin court spread the news to various counties and counties, they had already gone by boat to unknown destinations, and the Qin people could not pursue them at all, which was an advantage that the land route did not have.
.
thus.
They decided on the water route early.
As for why we chose Dongjin Ferry, it was just because this was the interchange. From here, there were many escape options when boarding the boat, making it difficult for Liu Ji and others to judge the direction in a short period of time, thus giving them enough time to escape.
Moreover, they are familiar with this road, so there is no need to worry about Liu Ji secretly stumbling upon them.
There is no need to worry about Liu Ji setting up an ambush midway.
Jing Ju looked confused and said:
"Brother Liu."
"The land route is really not what we want."
"Right now, we are racing against Qin Ting. With Qin Ting's efficiency, I am afraid that we will soon find that we have run away, and we will definitely pursue them along the way. We have been pampered since we were young, and our endurance is far less than that of these tiger and wolf Qin people.
, hiding here and there along the way, the speed of escape must not be fast."
"I'm afraid that the Qin people will find out then. This will actually drag down Brother Liu."
"thus......"
Jing Ju looked at the other people and said with cold eyes: "We suggest taking the waterway. The waterway in Chudi is smooth now and it is farming time. There are relatively few people going to the river. The danger is actually less than the land route.
Quite a few.”
"What do you think, Brother Liu?"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Liu Ji looked displeased.
Dissatisfied:
"Brothers are really giving me a hard time."
"Although I know how to swim, I really don't know much about waterways. If we take the waterway, it may not be safe at the same time. I don't think it's appropriate. In my opinion, I'd better take the land route."
"Safety!!!"
Seeing Liu Ji so reluctant, this strengthened Jing Ju's idea.
Jing Ju said in a deep voice:
"Brother Liu, there is no need to worry."
"Since we propose to take the water route, we will not embarrass Brother Liu."
"Brother Liu only needs to take us to Dongjin Ferry."
"When......"
"We promised a lot of money before. Brother Liu, do you think the waterway can be used now?"
Liu Ji's eyes lit up.
But he quickly hid it.
Embarrassed:
"This...isn't this not good?"
"I took the money after all."
Seeing that Liu Ji was still lingering here, Qu Bo couldn't help it anymore. The Qin army was not far away from them now. If he continued to linger like this, he was afraid that the Qin army would come directly to them before they could discuss it.
Liu Ji could dawdle, but they couldn't.
They are running for their lives!
Qu Bo held back his anger and gritted his teeth and said: "Brother Liu, this is our own decision. If something happens, we will be responsible for it ourselves. It will definitely not affect Brother Liu. We have stayed long enough now. If anything happens,
If you don’t hurry up, it may be difficult to escape!”
"Brother Liu, don't worry, we will definitely give you what we promised you."
"Brother Liu treats you sincerely, and I will never let you down!"
Others chimed in:
"yes."
"It won't be long."
"Brother Liu, don't say any more."
"We are determined to do this, and we will not embarrass Brother Liu."
"..."
See the situation.
Liu Ji could only nodded.
said:
"That's it."
"I'll just take advantage of you for once."
"I've been to Dongjin Ferry a few times before to send people to do corvee service, so I don't know anything about it. Brothers, please follow me."
Once the route was determined, Liu Ji would be better off.
Run directly out of the city.
Qu Bo and others looked at each other and followed quickly. After making sure that no one was around, they quickly threw away their armor.
For a while.
A group of six people rushed towards Dongjin Ferry.
Liu Ji and others thought that their whereabouts were very secret, but little did they know that every move they made fell into Xiang Sheng's eyes. Seeing Liu Ji fleeing with Qu Bo and others, Xiang Sheng's eyes darkened. Although he didn't know what Liu Ji wanted to do.
What, but I also know in my heart that it is definitely not a good thing.
He spoke to several of his disciples and followed them closely.
And on the other side.
Lu Ze and others returned to the broken house.
Fan Kuai had been waiting for a long time, told Liu Ji's instructions, and then solemnly handed over the contract for the five thousand acres of land to Lu Wan. Then he found a few firewood sticks from the house, and a group of seven people quickly went to the house.
Rush to Dongjindu.
Although Liu Ji didn't say it directly, they all had a hunch that something might happen tonight, otherwise Liu Ji wouldn't be so serious.
Alongside Dongjin Ferry.
Dozens of small boats have been hidden for a long time, and only a few scattered boats are still burning with faint candlelight under the ripples of the water. Qin Luoheng is in a small boat.
aside.
Chen Ping looked at the calm water.
With a sad look on his face he said:
"Young Master, do you think those clan members will really come?"
Qin Luoheng said lightly:
"uncertain."
"But it's highly possible."
"The children of the three major clans are pampered. They can't bear to go by land, and Dongjin Ferry is the best choice by water. As long as they still have some sonorous spirit, they will definitely choose to go this way. If they don't come, that's it.
I underestimated them."
"I am willing to admit defeat."
"but......"
"Is it so easy to overcome the arrogance of a young man?"
"I trust my judgment."
"I also believe in Liu Ji's choice."
"Sometimes, to achieve great things, you need some luck. If I bet right this time, it means that luck is with me. If I lose, it can only be because of bad luck. I have nothing to say. After all, the road is my own."
Chosen.”
Finished.
Qin Luoheng looked far away at the water.
The originally calm water surface was rippled by a breeze.
There was nothing to say.
I do not know how long it has been.
Not far from the water, the sound of thin ropes could be heard.
