"Hand him over, do you think the government will let us go?" Fang Dongquan continued: "Don't talk about our support for his ascension to the throne, just talk about what we have done over the years. Everyone knows that the government will let us go.
us?"
Speaking of this, Fang Dongquan took a deep breath and continued loudly: "Furthermore, all eighteen members of my family died tragically at the hands of officers and soldiers. In this life, Fang Dongquan and the government are incompatible with each other. Sooner or later, we will rebel against his mother. Now we have this opportunity.
, just give him a try!"
Fang Dongquan said: "If it is really successful, then we will all be the founding heroes of the country, and we will be rich and powerful."
At this moment, a bandit next to him said: "How can we accomplish this with just a few people like us!"
Fang Dongquan, however, didn't take it seriously: "It doesn't matter if it doesn't work. It doesn't matter how we lived in the past, how we will live in the future. When we get to Huangzhu Mountain, it's possible that those officers and soldiers will still be able to trap us!"
"It's true that our Huangzhu Mountain is easy to defend but difficult to attack, and the place is hidden. It's probably impossible for those officers and soldiers to find us!"
"Okay, let's stop talking so much and keep an eye on those officers and soldiers. We will leave after an hour. We will take these officers and soldiers for a spin in the mountains first, and then go to Huangzhu Mountain to meet our families!"
"Well, one hour is enough for our family to go far!"
At the same time, on a hilltop a mile away, the county magistrate stood with his hands behind his back, looking at the village in the distance with a frown on his face.
The bastard on the side was fanning him with a fan and said in a flattering tone: "Sir, it's daybreak now. Without the obstruction of the night, those gangsters will definitely not be able to stop him for long."
But the county magistrate still frowned.
He was originally full of confidence in the night attack last night. The three hundred counties under his command were divided into two groups, attacking from the front and attacking by detours. Moreover, they attacked at night.
He boasted that his military strategy was no less than that of Li Su in ancient times, and that he would be sure to repeat the victory over Caizhou on a snowy night. However, he did not expect that a night attack would be so difficult, and before he had even completed the halfway point, his county warrior fell behind.
More than half.
When they arrived here in the middle of the night, there were already less than a hundred county warriors under their command. After barely attacking, several brave county warriors were hunted down with strong bows at the gate of the bandit's village. One of them was killed and three were injured on the spot!
Then Xian Yong, who had cobbled together things by himself, receded faster than the ebbing tide. He retreated in the blink of an eye, and then no matter what he said, he refused to step forward.
The men and horses who took a detour from the small road to attack were also intercepted by the bandits, and finally returned without success. The leader of the team said that he and others killed all directions and killed at least a dozen bandits.
But seeing that there was no trace of blood on their bodies, it was doubtful whether this was true.
In desperation, he could only wait for dawn before attacking. On the one hand, the attack would be smoother after dawn, and on the other hand, he was waiting for the arrival of reinforcements.
He brought three hundred county warriors with him, but half of them fell behind on the road last night.
After waiting for an hour, waiting for his men to have enough to eat and drink, and the more than 100 men who had retreated to catch up, the county magistrate ordered the attack again.
But this time the attack went very smoothly. They only encountered slight scattered resistance and quickly broke through the gate of the village.
However, the county magistrate discovered that the bandits had escaped in a swarm. How could they be allowed to escape because they deserved the most credit?
So he ordered the pursuit without hesitation, and shouted again: Capture the fake Tang prince, and you will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!
After hearing this, the county heroes screamed and chased the bandits in front of them. Little did they know that Fang Dongquan and the others they were chasing were planning to take them around in circles in the mountains. As for their real target, Li Xuan, they had already come from behind.
Shan left first along with other old, weak, women and children.
After the last hasty escape, Li Xuan and Madam Bai once again traveled through mountains and rivers, walking through the mountains and forests as far as the eye could see.
After coming out of the small valley, they did not stop. They walked until late afternoon before stopping at a slightly flat place to rest.
The old, weak, women and children began to eat solid food and rest, and following the crowd, more than twenty young men and women who were responsible for protection dispersed around to guard.
"Xuan'er, are you okay?" Mrs. Bai walked up to Li Xuan, handed Li Xuan bread and water, and asked in a caring tone.
"I'm fine!" Although Li Xuan felt very tired, he didn't feel as dizzy as when he ran away a few days ago.
Just physical fatigue is nothing to him now.
"That's good. I heard them say that Huangzhu Mountain is a bit far away. I'm afraid we have to walk for two days to get there!" After Mrs. Bai said this, she got up and left, and then arrived next to Bai Yunqi. She didn't know who she was.
The younger brother was discussing something.
Li Xuan looked to the left and saw that Dong Yunyun and Zhu'er were also eating dry food. Zhu'er was in good condition, but Dong Yunyun's face was a little pale and she just let it go after eating two mouthfuls of dry food.
Zhu'er on the side looked a little anxious: "Miss, please eat more!"
Dong Yunyun shook her head slightly!
Li Xuan saw this scene and stepped forward: "What's wrong?"
At this moment, Zhu'er obviously didn't care about her dislike for Li Xuan, but quickly replied: "Miss, she is not feeling well."
uncomfortable?
Li Xuan took a closer look at Dong Yunyun and found that there was still a hint of abnormal flushing in her pale face.
And this was not a good sign. I immediately wanted to reach out my hand to detect her body temperature to see if she had a fever, but as soon as I stretched out my hand, she stopped.
Then he said to Pearl: "Put your hand on your young lady's forehead and see if there is any fever!"
Zhu'er said oh, and then stretched out her little hand to cover Dong Yunyun's forehead. After a while, her face became even more panicked: "It's a little hot!"
Li Xuan frowned slightly when he heard this. It would not be a good thing if he got sick while running for his life.
Immediately he ordered an old lady beside him: "Go and invite Mr. Qian over!"
Soon, a thin middle-aged man came over. He was the only doctor in this bandit den, his name was Qian Mengjiu, but Fang Dongquan and the others all called him Laojiu, while some young bandits and children
They all call him Uncle Jiu.
At the same time, this person also served as the master of the bandit den, managing the account books, etc. It is unknown how this man who knew medical skills and could read and write ended up in the bandit den.
However, he was the one who saved Li Xuan's life after suffering a heat stroke, so Li Xuan was not as indifferent or even disgusted with him as he was with other people, but instead felt a certain amount of gratitude.
After Qian Mengjiu came over, he first said respectfully: "I'm offended!"
Then he stretched out two fingers and put them on Dong Yunyun's wrist to feel his pulse. After a while, he frowned slightly, and then said: "Reporting to your Majesty, the empress has suffered from cold due to overwork!"
Wind-cold, for later generations, may be a minor illness that can be cured by a few antipyretics, but in this era, it is a serious illness. If it is not done well, you will lose your life, let alone on the way to escape.
Half an hour later, Qian Mengjiu came over with a bowl of medicine. Dong Yunyun took it and took a sip. Maybe it was because the medicine was too bitter or because it was very uncomfortable, so she stopped after taking a sip.
However, he looked at Li Xuan, then closed his eyes and continued to drink the medicine. After the medicine was finished, Li Xuan asked a strong old woman to carry Dong Yunyun directly on her back, and then a large group of people set off to leave again.
