After leaving the city as a lama, a few people pushed the cart and turned west. While there was no one behind or behind them, they took off the monk's robes and put the dusty Jin King's military jacket on them.
When he saw that he was about to pretend to be a soldier of the King of Jin again, Liu Zijin protested angrily: "In that case, why didn't you pretend to be a soldier of the King of Jin earlier? How could you shave our heads just to pretend to be a lama for a day?"
"How can we get in and out of the county without pretending to be a lama?" Wang Xian said with a smile.
"Just pretend to be soldiers." Liu Zijin said.
"The King of Jin did not trust the two guards on the left and right, so he placed them on the outside. Those who were searched in the inner circle were all his direct lineage guards... There are a total of 5,000 people in the middle guard who have lived together for decades.
Who do you know? How can we, a bunch of strangers, pass through the interrogations? Let alone enter and exit the city gate." Wu Wei said for Wang Xian.
"Then we can't guarantee that we will be interrogated now..." Liu Zijin muttered.
"We are buying tea oil, soy sauce and vinegar for the left guard," Gu Xiaolian said, throwing the wig made of Liu Zijin's hair to him. Liu Zijin just groaned and stopped talking. The four of them put on their wigs...
...In order to prevent it from falling off, Gu Xiaolian also brushed a layer of paste on everyone's heads. Feeling that the paste on the head was gradually condensing into paste, Wu Wei was a little worried and said: "Isn't this impossible to take off?"
"Well, I really haven't thought about it..." Gu Xiaolian was also stunned, and then said with an embarrassed smile: "Let's talk about it then..." Everyone almost fainted.
Halfway around, they actually encountered an interrogation checkpoint. However, for the sake of confidentiality, Zhu Jiyin and Wei Wuque did not disclose the information to the defenders outside the city in advance. Therefore, these checkpoints were still kept in the dark, and it was just a routine matter.
Asked: "What part are you in?"
"Brother, we are from the Zuo Guard." Liu Zijin was the only one from Shanxi, so he was naturally the one to negotiate: "I have been ordered by Feng to purchase some condiments. In this wilderness, we can't afford to eat just boiled cabbage.
"From the left guard?" The guard at the checkpoint glanced at him and said, "Bring the badges and take a look." Liu Zijin quickly signaled to the other people to collect the badges and show them to the guard.
The waist badges were given by the officer of the left guard, and were naturally more real than real gold. The guards checked that they were correct, but did not hand them back to them. Instead, they said with a straight face: "There are orders from above, and no one is allowed to leave the team without authorization. What are you doing?
Not with the army?"
"Who asked all the shops to open in the south of the city, so we thought of taking a shortcut to join the large army." Liu Zijin accompanied him and said with a smile: "Brother, please be accommodating and have a drink together some other time." After saying this, he stuffed a piece of treasure money into it.
This sure-fire stepping stone was effective. The guard took the money and returned the badges to them. He waved his hand and said, "If we don't do this next time, hurry up and join the army."
"Thank you, thank you." The people felt relieved and hurriedly left while pushing the car.
Unexpectedly, at this time, bursts of rapid alarm bells suddenly sounded from the tower in the distance. The guards immediately became nervous and shouted: "Stop!"
"Fight them." Liu Zijin was about to draw his knife, but Wang Xian held him down and said: "Don't be impulsive." He pointed to the top of the mountain and said loudly: "Look, there is someone there."
The guards originally called Wang Xian and the others to stop just in case. Now, following the direction he pointed, they found a figure flashing past on the mountain ridge opposite, as well as snow foam and falling rocks rolling down.
"Hurry up and chase, you guys too." The guards immediately changed their targets and called to Wang Xian: "Hurry up!"
"We still have to see something..." Wang Xian muttered: "We are fire-headed soldiers..."
"A bunch of trash," the guards spat at these hot-headed soldiers, and the soldiers moved in separate directions to surround them.
In the blink of an eye, only Wang Xian and others were left in front of the checkpoint. Liu Zijin was a little unable to recover and asked: "What should we do?"
"Hurry up and leave. Are you still standing guard for them?" Wang Xian gave him a roll of his eyes.
"Oh." Liu Zijin responded and hurriedly pulled up the cart. Wang Xian and Wu Wei pushed hard from behind and quickly left this land of right and wrong.
When he met Chen Baihu and the others, Wu Wei breathed a sigh of relief and whispered: "Thank you sir for letting Xianyun follow you in the dark, otherwise something really bad happened just now."
"It's also our good luck," Wang Xianye said with a scared smile: "If we encounter another sentry, we won't be able to produce a second Young Master Xianyun."
"But I can't say it's safe now." Wu Wei said worriedly: "If those guards can't catch anyone, they will definitely report it to their superiors. If they report the matter of the four of us, they will definitely come after us.
of
"Well, it's possible." Wang Xian nodded and said, "But it's more likely that they don't dare to report it." He said with a smile, "Knowing that there was something wrong with the four of us, you let us go. What do you mean?
Is it better for them to report it or not to report it?"
"It's better not to report it." Wu Wei couldn't help but laugh and said, the master's consideration of people's hearts is really amazing.
"So don't worry too much," Wang Xian said with a smile: "Besides, there is Xiao Lian. She can hear all directions. She hears the sound of horse hooves, and we can avoid others in time." He looked at the back of the team and said:
"Let's find a way to deal with those people first."
Walking at the end of the team at the moment was a small group of cavalry on tall horses. They were not members of the left guard, but were sent by Zhu Jiyin to monitor the left guard... This shows how suspicious the King of Jin was towards those who were not his direct descendants.
Although Chen Baihu explained that the four of them were sent by him to purchase supplies, he still could not dispel the suspicions of several people. They waited leisurely behind and discussed countermeasures in low voices.
"Xiao Lian, what are they talking about?" Wang Xian asked softly.
"As expected, they have doubts about the four of us, and are wondering if we are the people their prince is looking for..." Gu Xiaolian turned her small ears and replied in a low voice: "But they are afraid of forcing us to fight hard with them.
They want to stabilize us first, then secretly send someone back to report, and wait until reinforcements arrive..."
"Oh." Wang Xian nodded. He couldn't help but sigh in his heart. There is no perfect strategy in the world. He avoided Wei Wuque's dragnet, but still had to face his eyes and ears.
"Let's look for an opportunity to overthrow them." Wu Wei suggested.
"How is that possible?" Wang Xian shook his head. The other party was already on high alert. How could he give them an opportunity?
"Then what should we do?" Liu Zijin also asked anxiously. He was hiding here and there, but he still couldn't avoid the other party's ears and eyes. It's really frustrating.
"Since we can't outwit them, we have no choice but to use the bow forcefully." Wang Xian raised his eyebrows and said, "Old Liu, let us see your iron feathered magic arrows."
"Look," Liu Zijin perked up after hearing this. This tiger of his has been suppressed for too long, and now he finally has a chance to show off his power.
"Go and notify Chen Baihu and the others," Wang Xian ordered Wu Weidao again: "Tell them that we have to take action. It would be best if they can cooperate. If they don't want to cooperate, don't force it."
Wu Wei nodded, walked quietly to Chen Baihu, and told him the situation. Chen Baihu and Deputy Qianhu smiled bitterly at each other after hearing this. Sure enough, that incident was still unavoidable.
"You don't need to do anything..." Chen Baihu said to Wu Wei expressionlessly: "We will take care of them."
"That's fine." Wu Wei nodded and saw a mountain ridge in front of him, "You have to hurry up. If you go past this mountain ridge soon, you may encounter a sentry..."
"Yes." Chen Baihu nodded and said, "The distance to the next sentry post is less than two miles. This mountain ridge is the best barrier."
The cavalrymen wanted to go to the next sentry post. There would be more than a hundred of their own men there, and the other side would not dare to make any mistakes. However, seeing the large group of men and horses stopping to rest in front of the mountain ridge, the cavalrymen felt bad, and the leader coughed.
With a sound, the two riders behind quietly turned their horses.
"Brother, where are you going?" Chen Baihu turned his horse and returned.
"They have to go back for something." The leading cavalryman smiled nervously.
"Don't go back when you're here." Chen Baihu suddenly chuckled, raised his hand and threw out the dart in his hand. A cavalryman was hit by the dart in the throat and fell to the ground. At the same time, the soldiers who seemed to be resting also began to
Pick up the crossbow hidden in the car and shoot at the cavalry.
The cavalry didn't expect it at all. They took action as soon as they were told. They fell off their horses when they were caught off guard. But at first, the two knights had already run far away and were out of the range of the crossbow, and were about to slip away.
"We can't let them run away." Chen Baihu was about to hit his horse to chase. Suddenly he heard a sharp sound breaking through the air, and a black lightning flashed across his head, hitting a knight in the back. The knight fell off his horse.
Then there was another sharp sound piercing the air, another black lightning, and the last cavalryman who had already ran a hundred feet away fell off his horse again...
Chen Baihu and his soldiers were stunned. This miraculous archery skill simply overturned their understanding. They looked in the direction of the arrow and saw a tall yellow-faced soldier, closing in on him.
He picked up a big bow and ran down the mountain ridge.
"Hurry up and clean the battlefield and get out of here." Wang Xian came to his senses first and reminded loudly.
"Yes, clean the battlefield quickly," Deputy Qianhu ordered hurriedly.
The soldiers quickly packed the nine corpses in sacks, threw them into the cart, covered the blood stains on the ground with soil, and then led the horses and set off quickly.
Finally, the prince's men were killed, which meant that everyone's future was unpredictable, and the atmosphere in the marching team was very solemn. Gu Xiaolian was on full alert along the way, but luckily he never heard any enemy soldiers chasing after him.
.Obviously, Wang Xian's guess was right, and the guards did not dare to report their affairs.
That night, Deputy Qianhu and Chen Baihu did not allow their subordinates to camp and rest, but drove them on their way under the moonlight. The sentries passing by gave them sympathetic looks. It was really unfortunate to see a boss who was so inconsiderate to his subordinates.
I have been miserable for eight lifetimes.
At dawn, the team stopped to take a rest. Qianhu and Chen Baihu came to Wang Xian and others and said solemnly: "The right guard's defense area is in front of us. We have a map here. You can follow it.
By following the path, you can avoid the guards and leave Wutai County."
"Thank you very much." Wu Wei clasped his fists in thanks and asked worriedly: "What will happen to the dead cavalry?"
