"Run away?"

"Run away now?!"

Chen Ji stood in a daze among the bullock carts, feeling a little ridiculous.

The moment he heard the words "Daozi" and "Chongzi", he was sure that these two people were Erdao and Brother Pao, because when he was dying, Brother Pao once introduced himself, "My real name is Chen Chong, and my friends like to call me

My name is Brother Pao."

Chen Chong.

Chongzi.

It's no coincidence.

Thinking of this, Chen Ji felt an inexplicable joy. You and I are not familiar with each other, but I think you are very kind. When I saw you, even the wind was carrying the news of my hometown.

But he never expected that Brother Pao would run away so easily.

When ordinary people face an unknown situation, most of them will take chances until the danger actually comes. But what he doesn't know is that Brother Pao and Er Dao's luck mentality was revealed as early as seven or eight times when they went to prison.

The police officer was completely crushed.

In the cold wind, Chen Ji suddenly shouted: "Zao Zao!"

The sound of horse hooves sounded at the stables.

Liang Biaotou turned around in surprise, only to see Miss Zhang Er's maroon horse easily leaping out of the stable fence with its own rein in its mouth, and came to a stop next to Chen Ji.

The breath of the magical horse was like two white arrows in the cold night. It lowered its head and let go, and the reins in its mouth fell into Chen Ji's hands.

"Tou Liang, wait for me here," Chen Ji stepped on the stirrups and turned over. With a flick of the reins, Zaozao carried Chen Ji away like an arrow from a string.

He rode his horse back and forth on the dirt roads of the county town, chasing from the south to the north but found no trace of Er Dao and Brother Pao. He also chased them from the west to the east, but there was no trace either.

The people in the county town have gone to bed early, and there is not even a watchman to be seen.

He searched back and forth in the county town alone, but never saw Er Dao and Brother Pao. He didn't know if the other party had left the county town or was hiding in the houses.

The traces slowly stood up in the dark county town, and my mind gradually calmed down.

Once upon a time, he thought that he was the only one who came from the earth to the Ning Dynasty. From then on, he could not talk about The Legend of Zhen Huan with others, flash his sword and attack with soldiers, nor could he talk with others with enthusiasm about Cristiano Ronaldo's hat trick in the 2018 World Cup.

Because no one understands it.

Maybe Er Dao and Brother Pao don't watch The Legend of Zhen Huan and Liang Jian, and they don't like Ronaldo either. But it doesn't matter, we can always find some common ground.

When Chen Ji discovered Er Dao and Brother Pao, he seemed to see a glimmer of light in the dark night, but the glimmer of light quickly went out again.

Chen Ji patted Zaozao's back gently: "Let's go back to the inn."

Zaozao stopped galloping, and returned slowly carrying the traces, as if knowing that the person on its back was no longer so anxious.

Returning to the inn, Chen Ji rode his horse and came to Liang Biaotou. He sat on the horse and asked calmly: "Liang Biaotou, there must be some secret hidden in these two people, otherwise why would they run away?"

Liang Biao raised his head and looked at Chen Ji, but he saw the young third son of the Chen family with a bottomless look in his eyes.

He is a person who travels all over the world. Who is easy to mess with and who is not easy to mess with? Who is easy to fool and who is not easy to fool? You can understand it by looking at him. In the eyes of a person who travels around, there are only two kinds of people in the world, one is a sheep and the other is a sheep.

The seed is a wolf.

No matter how ferocious their faces are, some people have erratic eyes, and such people are just sheep in wolf's clothing; some people may look weak, but their eyes are like knives, and they want to cut a piece of meat from you.

Humans are wolves in sheep's clothing.

The third son of the Chen family does not look like a scholar at this moment, but more like the eagle dog of the Supervisor of Ceremonies.

The head escort Liang laughed and said, "Third Young Master, maybe they just couldn't stand the hardship of being escorts, so they ran away? You don't know something, the escort business is very hard, and it's common for escorts to run away."

Chen Ji hummed, jumped off the horse, held Zao Zao's reins and walked towards the stable.

He just took two steps, stood still, and then stepped back.

Chen Ji calmly stared at Mr. Liang: "It's a big deal for the Zhang family to transport their wealth to Beijing, but you let some people in who don't know their roots and background. What's your motive? Are Daozi and Chongzi bandits from the Taihang Bandits? Yes.

Aren’t you, Liang’s Escort Agency, going to cooperate with the Taihang Bandits inside and outside to rob the Zhang family’s property?”

Liang Biaotou's face turned a little pale, and he said with a guilty conscience: "Third Young Master, there are certain things you should not say nonsense, as it may lead to someone's death."

Chen Ji changed the topic and asked: "Liang Biaotou, I wonder what your relationship is with Liang Gou'er and Liang Mao'er?"

Liang Mao'er and Liang Gou'er had mentioned before that their father was a bodyguard and was plotted by bandits in the Taihang Mountains before he fell ill and died early.

Liang Biaotou hurriedly said: "These are my two younger brothers, but we separated a few years ago and I haven't seen them for a long time."

Chen Ji nodded: "I am friends with Liang Gou'er and Liang Mao'er. For their sake, I can press the matter aside for now, but we have to figure things out first."

Captain Liang nodded hurriedly: "You say it, you say it."

Chen Ji suddenly shouted: "Why did the two of them run away?"

Liang Biaotou lowered his head and said nothing.

Chen Ji said casually: "It seems that Mr. Zhang must interrogate you personally before you can tell the truth."

After that, he made a move to leave, but Liang Escort quickly stopped him: "Report to Third Young Master, these two are not my escorts, they are escorts from the Luowei Escort Agency. It's just that the Luowei Escort Agency didn't know that two months ago.

Something happened, and the bodyguards dispersed, and the head of the bodyguard also disappeared without a trace. The two of them came over together, and because I was short of manpower, I put them to work in Liang's Bodyguard Agency."

Chen Ji smiled: "I don't know what happened? Do you still want to pretend not to know about it? Don't you want to seek death?"

Liang Biaotou's eyes were flickering in the moonlight. The bullock carts were parked layer by layer in the backyard of the inn, like a stacked maze. In the darkness, the escort quietly came over, put his hand into his sleeve, and touched the hilt of the dagger.

Chen Ji seemed oblivious to the crisis and still stood where he was.

However, the escort leader Liang noticed the movement of the escort and immediately cursed: "Get back here, do you want to kill me?"

At this time, I heard a voice from far away: "Chen Ji? Where are you?"

Chen Ji smiled and responded: "I'm here."

Zhang Xia and Zhang Zheng came together. Zhang Xia said: "I just went to your room to play chess with you, but only Xiaoman was there... Why are you up here in the middle of the night?"

Chen Ji explained: "I found that two people from the escort office secretly ran away to ask something."

Zhang Xia exclaimed: "Running away? Why are you running away?"

At this time, Chen Ji saw Zhang Zheng still wearing his black cloak on his arm.

Zhang Zheng put the big cloak on his shoulders and casually warned: "The wind and sand are strong, so don't catch a cold. If you are sick and traveling, I'm afraid it will be very uncomfortable."

Chen Ji thanked him in a low voice, and then turned to look at Mr. Liang: " Mr. Liang, I can forget about whatever you have in mind, but if you don't tell the truth about these two people, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape jail."

."

Liang Biaotou sighed softly: "You can say anything, but the Third Young Master must not alarm Mr. Zhang. The thing is like this, the Luowei Escort Bureau escorted Yao Yuanwai and ten cars of goods to Jinling a while ago, but they passed by Langya Mountain

When we were traveling, we encountered bandits. The bandits were so numerous that the escorts from the Luowei Escort Agency knew they were outmatched and abandoned their employer in Langya Mountain."

"So simple? If it were so simple, they wouldn't have to run away," Chen Ji was puzzled: "It is said that the escort agency eats for both black and white. Since they dare to take this road, don't they know the bandits in Langya Mountain?

"

Liang Biaotou explained: "Originally, we knew each other. The Biaotou of Luowei Escort Bureau and the head of Langya Mountain had a life-long friendship. However, the flood in Yuzhou caused many people to be displaced. A group of victims fled to the south and destroyed the original village of Langya Mountain.

The bandits were chased away, and they ended up in a stronghold there. These victims did not understand the rules of the rivers and lakes, and they robbed everyone they saw. They will probably be surrounded and suppressed by the government soon."

Chen Ji was confused: "The bandits didn't kill anyone from Luo Wei Escort Agency?"

Liang Biaotou said in a low voice: "Third Young Master, you don't know. The bandits are after wealth, not life. If they can get along well with the bodyguards, they won't need to be beaten to death. It is said that the bandits gave Luo Wei Escorts two

Choice, the first choice is to kill everyone to the death, the second choice is to leave the Lowe Escort Agency, but you can take away a box of Yao Yuanwai's belongings."

Chen Ji nodded: "So they chose to split the money...How do I know if you are bluffing me?"

Head Guard Liang said in a low voice: "Third Young Master Mingjian, there are still people in the team from Luo Wei Guard Bureau, I will catch them for you."

He whistled, and saw several bodyguards between the bullock carts drawing out their daggers from their sleeves and surrounding them in the corner.

After a while, they brought a young man to Chen Ji and said, "Third Young Master, this person is the handler of the Luowei Escort Bureau. He is responsible for calling the escorts. You will know as soon as you ask."

The young waiter struggled hard: "Liang Zhu'er, what a fool you are, you accepted our gift and still want to betray us? We have agreed, we will follow you through Linfen, and then the road will face the sky, each going to one side.

You go to your capital, and we go to our Guyuan, what are you doing, you son of a bitch?"

Liang Biaotou looked at Chen Ji with a somewhat embarrassed look on his face: "Third Young Master, please don't listen to his nonsense. I didn't agree with them. I really agreed to take them because I was short of helpers and saw that they were veterans in delivering escorts."

Chen Ji thought thoughtfully: "Why go to Guyuan?"

Liang Biaotou said in a low voice: "Although Guyuan is our Ningchao military stronghold, there are more Jingchao people than Ningchao people living there. There is a mixed bag of fish and dragons, and there are so many smugglers that our Ningchao border troops don't care much. Listen.

He said that there is an inn in Guyuan run by General Wen Tao's old department, and he can send people to Jing Dynasty."

Chen Ji turned to look at the young traveler: "Let me ask you, where did you go when you came out of Langya Mountain?"

Waizi put his hands on his neck and said, "Went to Jinling."

Chen Ji asked again: "Where is the money that I got?"

The waiter replied: "It's all spent on the Qinhuai River!"

Zhang Xia's eyes widened: "After this incident, you still have fun?"

The waiter said with a stern face: "We think that we will be liquidated by the government sooner or later, so we might as well go to the Qinhuai River and become a romantic ghost before we die. Who knows, the government didn't come to see us at all."
