With a scream, another inspector fell to the ground. His right knee was stomped hard by Xia Xun, and the whole leg stretched out weirdly. It was clear that the leg bone had been broken.【】
Along the way, Xia Xun became more and more ruthless, concise and clear, focusing on the key points.
The inspector was sweating profusely, staring hard at his running back, gritting his teeth and yelling at the hesitant helpers: "Chase him!"
"Why...not kill them?"
Ming'er held Xia Xun's big hand, and while running with him, she breathed heavily, trying to get the fresh air into her lungs.
"What's the use of killing!"
There was a strange smile on Xia Xun's face, which was the usual smile of desperadoes in desperate situations: "Leave them alone and not kill them. If there are more pursuers, part of them will be taken care of, which will weaken their strength."
.If the pursuers want to lead them, it will slow them down; pursuing them until they are half dead and permanently disabled will also have the effect of timidizing the enemy."
As they spoke, the figures of the two men had disappeared deep into the dense forest. In the past few days, the two men had been rushing left and right near Nanjing, sometimes forward and backward, and their pursuers were led around by them like headless flies. Every one of them was exhausted.
Unbearable.
Xia Xun and Ming'er have successfully arrived in Lishui, but the connection point here has been destroyed by the government. It is estimated that someone fell into the hands of the court and was tortured but could not reveal the location. Xia Xun had no choice but to take Ming'er to the west.
, went straight to Hezhou, but was discovered halfway. After killing a few people, Xia Xun repeated his old tricks and headed north again, bypassing Jinling City and heading straight to Yanziji.
The Jin Yiwei never thought that after he pretended to be south and was actually north, he would repeat his old trick and walk again. So, when they set up traps and ambushes in the three directions of west, south and east, it was so frustrating.
After the dog jump, news came that the target was found again on the bank of the Yangtze River. So the large group of people headed towards the Yangtze River again. However, by the time they had sealed the Yangtze River, Xia Xun had already appeared in Ma'anshan. As a result, the extremely angry Jin Yiwei patrolled the Yangtze River.
The prosecutors rushed to Ma'anshan frantically again...
In the Jinyiwei Yamen, Luo Kedi was pacing, listening to the news from his subordinates. In his feeling, Xia Xun didn't seem to have an accurate target at all. He was just struggling to his death, no matter where he could escape, the most disturbing thing was
The troublesome thing is this kind of fugitive. He has no purpose at all and is wandering around. It is difficult to gather the strength to arrest him.
In particular, the imperial court's rewards and consecutive punishments came into play. If there was any disturbance, the common people would rush to the Yamen to report. Now they said that they had discovered imperial criminals, and now they said that they had discovered gangsters.
Running around here and there, but without exception, it is all false news. Even if the news is false, it is not entirely false. In fact, there are indeed many fugitives from the government who have committed crimes.
The Jin Yiwei were idle, so they simply threw them into prison. This made Mr. Yin Wang of Yingtian Mansion extremely happy. Under his rule, the rate of solving crimes has skyrocketed.
Xiao Qianyue calmly reported to Luo Kedi: "Sir, from what we know now, after their connection point was destroyed, Yang Xu has no planned destination. He is just getting rid of our pursuit. There is no planned destination at all.
Target. The only thing we can be sure of now is..., he is getting further and further away from Jinling, his scope of activities is getting wider and wider, and our power can no longer cover all roads."
Xiao Qianyue had just returned from Shandong. With this powerful help, Luo Kedi finally breathed a sigh of relief and did not need to personally deal with the true, false, and all kinds of strange news.
"No, he always had a goal!"
Being able to get away from trivial matters, Luo Kedi's mind became much clearer: "His goal is the north. He wants to find King Yan. The reason why he went south is because he knows that we are also aware of his purpose, so he
That’s why he did the opposite.”
Just as Luo Kedi said this, a man ran in outside the hall and reported hurriedly: "To inform Mr. Qianshi, traces of Yang Xu have been found at the foot of Lushan Mountain!"
Liu Yujue, who had been sitting silently next to him, was the first to react, rushed in front of him, and asked: "Caught him?"
The man reported: "It was only two patrolmen who discovered him, leading a team of thugs who were not his opponents. He injured and maimed many people. When the nearby search team heard the news and rushed there, he had already escaped.
.”
Liu Yujue secretly breathed a sigh of relief and turned to Luo Kedi, who asked: "Where did they escape to?"
The man said: "The injured inspector said that they went east to Yangxu. It seemed that he was going around Lushan Mountain and Benmao Mountain."
Luo Kedi Qu Ran said: "He wants to take the sea route! The land route to the north is impassable. He is going to take the sea route. The last time Prince Yan got out of trouble, he also took the sea route. He has a way to get a sea ship! Send the order!"
Luo Kedi only said two words, and his voice suddenly stopped. Xiao Qianyue and Liu Yujue looked at him in surprise. Luo Kedi was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled slyly, shook his head slowly and said: "No, no, no, no, that's not right.
,wrong……"
He gritted his teeth and said with a deep smile: "In the past few days, he has been attacking from the east to the west, from the north to the south, but he has played a lot of tricks on us. Under heavy siege, he can be calm, brave and strategic, and now he is running farther and farther away.
, but he became panicked and asked our people to find out where he was going? Huh!"
Xiao Qianyue hesitated and said: "My lord, you are saying..."
Luo Kedi asked: "If you want to go north, which is the shortcut and which is the most difficult way?"
Xiao Qianyue hesitated and said: "Of course it is fastest to cross the Yangtze River and go north directly, but we have also thought about this way. There are many obstacles along the way, and it is not easy for him to pass. The second way is to go east and go to the sea.
, for those without means, this is a dead end, but for Yang Xu, once he escapes to the seaside, he will escape from death.
The third route also crosses the Yangtze River, but it goes west, crossing the Yangtze River via Taiping Prefecture, and entering Huguang and Henan. There are more checkpoints along the way, but the inspections there may not be so strict. Even if he goes south, he will eventually
It is still inevitable to take these three roads, either north, east, or west. Since north is not feasible, going east... indeed should be the path he most wants to choose."
Luo Kedi smiled and said: "Yes, you think so too, that's right. Yang Xu has a very good reason to go east, and he deliberately asked our people to see him going east, so naturally we should pursue him east
,Is it?"
"On purpose?" Xiao Qianyue hesitated.
Luo Kedi raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "All the checkpoints in the north are still strictly guarded. Most of the outposts have been recruited and moved to Taiping Mansion to guard all the traffic arteries in and out of Huguang."
Xiao Qianyue said: "Yes, I humbly ask for orders to go there..."
"No! Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of what happens!"
Luo Kedi intercepted and said: "Go east, I'm afraid he is trying to create suspicion, but we can't help but be careful that he does go east. You lead people to chase east, and I will personally rush to Taiping Mansion to take charge of the overall situation!"
※※※※
"Let's rest here until evening before we hit the road."
At the foot of Maoshan Mountain, in a mountain nest, Xia Xun collapsed under a tree tiredly.
He is not made of iron. He has been dragging people from the government here and there these days. The people from the government are going crazy from torture, and he is about to collapse from exhaustion. Although Ming'er is just following along and doesn't need to shout about beating or killing, then
Both of her delicate feet also had blisters, and she burst into tears whenever she walked. Over the past few days, although there were no fatal wounds on Xia Xun's body, she was still covered in scars. Some of the wounds were cut by sharp objects, and some were bruised.
The bruises and bruises were caused by blunt force blows.
Xia Xun breathed a long sigh of relief, then sat leaning against a tree with his legs spread out, and said: "We are getting farther and farther away from Jinling now. The further away we are, the less they have enough manpower to control.
The safer we will be. Once it gets dark, we will climb over Maoshan Mountain. Once we enter Zhenjiang Prefecture, our road guide will be effective, and then we will have a greater chance of escaping."
His eyes wandered for a moment, and he smiled slightly and said: "If he was a fool, he might still chase him down, but... Luo Qianshi is a smart man, and a very smart man. I have been making false claims in the east and west for so many days.
, now I’m going to take a chance and try to ‘make a sound to the east and hit the east’... Hey, he may not chase eastward.”
"Is your injury... okay?" Xu Ming'er asked worriedly, looking at the blood on Xia Xun's body.
Xia Xun grinned: "It's okay, I can hold on."
"I...I'll bandage it up for you."
Xia Xun, who was wearing filthy and tattered clothes like a beggar, smiled bitterly and said: "What are you using to bandage it? There is only one set of clothes left in the bag. I will need it after passing Maoshan Mountain."
"That's not possible. The body is dirty. If the wound is rotten and suppurative, then it's bad. At least... it needs to be cleaned."
Of course Xia Xun knew the common sense about wound infection, especially in this era. Once a wound becomes infected, there are no anti-inflammatory drugs or antibiotics. Even if the wound is hit with a thumb, there is a risk of death after infection. After hearing this, he had to be obedient.
He got up, walked to the stream next to him, and sat down on a smooth stone by the stream.
Xu Ming'er squatted next to him and gently rolled up his trouser legs. There was some dried blood flowing down his calf. Further up, the trousers and the wound were stuck together. Xia Xun felt pain when he tore them lightly.
She had to breathe in the cold air. When she saw the bloody wound and the large bruised and swollen area next to it, Xu Ming'er flattened her mouth and was about to burst into tears. She quickly turned her head and poured two handfuls of river water on her face.
Then he used his little hands to hold some water to clean his wound.
Thighs, arms, waist, back... green, purple, bloody... there was no good flesh anywhere in the body. Xu Ming'er's nose became sour and her tears finally fell.
"It's my fault!"
Xu Ming'er said with tears in her eyes: "I am a burden. If it weren't for my dragging you down, you might have escaped long ago."
"Don't be stupid. I know that you don't want to go back to that impersonal home. From the beginning of Beiping Mansion, I have helped you and you have helped me. The fate between you and me is not tied today.
I will protect you and escape together, don’t worry, as long as I am here, no one will hurt you even a hair!"
Xia Xun turned his head and saw her dazed look, and quickly comforted her softly. After listening to his words, Ming'er's eyes became bright, and there was an indescribable brilliance in her eyes that was quietly rippling.
Xia Xun lay down again, put his chin on his arms, and said with a smile: "Okay, stop crying, let me tell you a joke."
"oh!"
"By the way, there is a girl whose surname is Zhu. Because her family lives near the Great Wall, she named her Zhu Changcheng..."
"How can a girl's family be named like this?"
"Hey, ordinary people don't have names like flowers, grass, cats, or dogs. Let's tell a story. Don't interrupt."
"oh……"
"This girl named Zhu Changcheng gradually grew up. One time, her father took her to the market. He happened to meet an old friend whom he hadn't seen for many years. The old friend had already married and started a business. There was a man about the same age as the girl.
Son. The girl's father introduced the two people to each other. When he mentioned that his daughter was called the Great Wall, the young man suddenly remembered a saying and joked: "You are not a true man if you don't go to the Great Wall." Haha, haha, hahaha..., uh...
"
Xu Ming'er opened a pair of innocent big eyes, like a cute little bird, tilting her head and staring at him. Xia Xun's hearty laughter finally turned into a sneer. Indeed, this joke was not very suitable.
Let this girl know that this is the daughter of a noble family...
Just as Xia Xun was regretting it, Xu Ming'er blinked and asked curiously: "What happened next?"
"later?"
Xia Xun was a little confused: "There will be no future."
"oh!"
Xu Ming'er thought for a while and then said doubtfully: "You didn't mean to tell a joke, what's so funny about it?"
Xia Xun: "..."
Seeing the embarrassment on his face, the considerate Ming'er quickly comforted him: "Actually...it's actually quite funny. I'm starting to find it funny now, hehe, hehe..."
Xia Xun twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, coughed hurriedly and said: "Okay, your little face is dirty, you should clean it too. I will go around the neighborhood and bring back some wild fruits. If I can catch one
Pheasants, rabbits, etc. are better. After eating, we will have the strength to go on the road." After saying that, he got up and walked away in a dignified manner.
Xu Ming'er glanced at his back and whispered innocently: "The joke you told is really not funny. Why do you ask people to laugh..."
It was getting dark. Xia Xun didn't hunt any pheasants and hares. He only picked dozens of mountain fruits and took out seven or eight bird eggs. The two of them had a casual meal and quietly set off on their journey.
The mountain is not difficult to walk, and there are no wild animals on the mountain. Jiangning Prefecture is near the imperial capital, with a large population and cities everywhere, while Maoshan has been a Taoist holy land since ancient times. Tourists are constantly coming all year round, which makes the wild animals disappear and many roads have been trodden. Xia
Xun has been traveling day and night for the past few days. Although the road is dark at night, the path trodden by pedestrians can be vaguely seen, so it is not difficult to walk.
The rest time for the two was short, and their physical strength had not yet recovered. However, when they thought about crossing Maoshan Mountain and entering Zhenjiang Mansion, their hope of escape became even greater. Xia Xun became excited, and he did not feel tired even when walking on the mountain road.
As he was walking, Xu Ming'er beside him suddenly let out a soft "yeah". Xia Xun was like a rabbit with an arrow. He ducked down and turned his head. Xu Ming'er was still standing there. Xia Xun quickly said
He pulled her down, pressed her to his side, glanced around alertly, and asked in a low voice: "What did you find?"
Xu Ming'er said blankly: "I didn't find anything, what did you find?"
"Me? Neither did I..."
Xia Xun suddenly opened his eyes and said, "I didn't find anything. What's your name?"
Xu Ming'er's big and shrewd eyes narrowed slightly: "Huh! I figured it out!"
"Um?"
"You are shameless!"
"ah?"
"You tell such a dirty joke!"
"..."
