Chapter 227: Escape (1)

"Send the order, all people and horses must not stop, speed up and leave as soon as possible."

Jiang Kongming quickly issued a series of orders, completely ignoring the surprised look of the commemorative officer.

Hundreds of cavalry rushed from behind, and the first one was Fang Lingchen, the real commander of the Red Ocean Legion. He frowned and looked worried at this time.

The one who had just set up a suspicious formation on the mountain was not the Black Flag Army, but the hundreds of red marine warriors led by Fang Lingchen. At this time, they completed the task and naturally hurried back.

"Commander Fang, how many troops are added to the Huns?" Jiang Kongming asked.

Fang Lingchen was shocked and glanced at Xu Haifeng. Xu Haifeng shook his head slightly, indicating that he had not leaked at all.

Jiang Kongming sneered disdainfully and said, "If the enemy had not been powerful and knew it was impossible, how could my lord have issued such an urgent order to retreat. Although the 30,000 Golden Wolf Army of Kuabaying was powerful, it might not have been able to win the joint efforts of our two families. Then the only possibility is that the reinforcements of the Huns arrived."

His eyes swept Fang Lingchen's face, and the palm-leaf fan in his hand covered his face, saying, "If the students expected it was not bad, the Xiongnu reinforcements should be around 20,000, and it was the Pegasus Legion under your old rival Tuerhong."

Fang Lingchen was shocked, and his eyes looked at him could no longer hide the fear in his heart. He even guessed this out of thin air.

It is extremely rare to guess that the Xiongnu reinforcements are coming based on Xu Haifeng's reaction, and Fang Lingchen may not be able to do it by himself. If he asked him to tell the number of troops and people coming to reinforce, he would not be able to do it even if he killed him.

此人之智,真是堪比鬼神.

Xu Haifeng turned his head away. Although he had the determination to be a master, he still felt extremely funny at this time, and a faint smile still appeared on the corner of his mouth. The angle he stood was different, and Jiang Kongming did not hide anything from him, so he happened to see the strange smile on his face covered by a palm-leaf fan.

读心术确实是一个极其好用的技能.

After all, Jiang Kongming was not the real Zhuge Kongming. No matter how powerful he was, he could not be able to predict the future.

But he was unparalleled in his ability to observe his expressions and expressions. As soon as he saw Xu Haifeng's appearance, he knew that something would happen. He ordered the marching speed to speed up. Fang Lingchen rushed over, and what he was thinking about was how to deal with it.

Since he is not a master and does not have the power of his spirit, how can he hide what he thinks in his heart from Jiang Kongming? He knew the reason at a glance.

Fang Lingchen tried hard to smile, and his attitude became more and more respectful: "In the opinion of the military advisor, what should we do now?"

Jiang Kongming put down his palm-leaf fan and looked solemn. He said seriously: "We have an army of 20,000 now. It is impossible for so many people to walk on remote paths. Since that's the case, it's better to speed up the marching. Along the way, Gods will stop killing Gods, Buddhas will stop killing Buddhas, and killing them all the way to Wolong City."

His words were extremely domineering, but they were in line with the hearts of Fang Lingchen and other warriors. Everyone cheered in unison and got on the horse and whipped it away.

Yuehu Town is a beautiful place with beautiful scenery. The town is covered with green shades and gardens everywhere. It is well-known in a radius of hundreds of miles. It is recognized as the best place to escape the summer heat. Every summer, there are endless people coming here to enjoy the cool air. However, this year, there are 80% fewer merchants.

若是论其缘由,那是众人皆知.

The massive invasion of the Huns caused panic and chaotic situations. Even if their lives are difficult to preserve, who will still be concerned about the changes in the weather?

一行数骑驰进小镇,正是刘政启等人.

There were more than 80 people, but such a large number of people gathered together would inevitably attract attention. Therefore, Zhang Zihua ordered Liu Hualiang to take them away and only led seven people into the town to replenish their food.

This place is far from the capital, and no one has ever been here, but the word "Douda Inn" flutters in the wind with the flag, and is visible at a glance.

Although this place is not a big city, there are many inns. Zhang Zihua has made many choices and has tied the reins in front of the most inconspicuous small inn. This so-called inn is just made up of a few simple rooms. Judging from this, I know that most people who come to the door on weekdays are just a bit of pain.

After getting off the horse and entering the inn, a 60-year-old man came up with a smile.

“几位打尖还是住宿?”

Zhang Zihua changed his usual gloomy face and said with a smile: "Old man, come some food and prepare some dry food for us. The more the better."

"Why, the guests are not here to escape the summer heat?" the old man asked in surprise.

“自然不是,我们有急事,要赶路.”

A trace of disappointment flashed across the old man's face, but he said, "Okay, come." He turned around and shouted at the inside, and an old woman's approval came from the inner room.

The old man diligently pulled open the stool and swept it habitually with his cuffs.

Liu Zhengqi frowned and looked at all this in disgust, but at Zhang Zihua's instructions, he sat down. Gao Chengwei and Liu Zhengzhong naturally sat next to him and vaguely guarded him up.

A kind smile appeared on Zhang Zihua's face and asked, "Old man, how are your business recently?"

The old man shook his head and said, "It's hard. If there were so many people here in previous years, you would never have imagined that although my small shop is a little simpler, there are also many people coming." He sighed for a while and said, "To be honest, this summer has passed halfway, but my old man has not yet received a few customers. I can't live this day."

He nagged for a few words, picked up the rag on his own, and gently wiped it on the table and chairs.

"The Huns, I must drive them back." Liu Zhengqi cursed in a low voice.

Zhang Zihua was startled and glanced at the corner of his eyes. The old man's wiping movement did not pause at all, so he let out a gentle breath. He turned his head and shook his head at Liu Zhengqi. Liu Zhengqi knew that he had made a mistake and smiled at him awkwardly.

The curtain of the inn suddenly opened, and a young man strode in, shouting loudly as he walked, "Dad, I'm back." He was carrying a package on his back, obviously going out to buy goods.

The old man raised his head and greeted, "It's good to come back, why have you been there for so long?"

The young man sighed and said, "Somehow, the city was blocked tightly. He said he wanted to catch some big thief, but he almost couldn't get out."

He said that he was unintentional, but Liu Zhengqi and others felt nervous at the same time.

The old man snorted angrily and said, "I just know that these wolves are not kind."

The young man saw Liu Zhengqi and others just now, his face changed suddenly, and he shook his eyes at his father repeatedly, realizing that he should not speak too much. The old man glanced at him and said, "Help me entertain guests, I'll help your mother."

The young man responded and watched the old man enter the inner room. He turned his head and said with a smile: "My father is old and he likes to talk nonsense on weekdays, don't be surprised."

Zhang Zihua stood up and smiled and said, "It's okay, old man, that's what it is." He changed his tone and asked, "Little brother, what's wrong with the city being sealed."

The young man waved his hand and said, "I heard that someone fled here. Not only the city, but also the road to the south were blocked." He looked at Zhang Zihua while saying that, and suddenly his eyes narrowed, as if he had remembered something, moved down his shoulders, staring at Zhang Zihua's broken arm tightly. The smile on his face immediately flew away, replaced by a shock, but there was some surprise in it.

Zhang Zihua's heart moved. He pretended not to know and asked with a smile: "What's wrong with the boy?"

The young man woke up from a dream and forced a smile and said, "Several guests, please sit down. Now, I'll help my parents to prepare the wine and food for you."

Zhang Zihua nodded with a smile. After he walked into the inner room, the smile on his face immediately faded away. He took a step forward, came out of the door, and listened with his ears.

"Dad, we are going to get rich." A clearly suppressed voice sounded softly.

“什么发财?”

"Shh..."

"What are you doing to admire?" the old man said dissatisfied.

"Dad, I saw it at the city gate. The wanted thief on the notice was the man at the door."

“什么?你不会看错吧.”

"Absolutely not." The young man was extremely excited in his voice: "Dad, as long as they provide their whereabouts to the government, there will be five hundred taels of silver to take."

"Five hundred taels?" An old woman gasped. For those of them, five hundred taels of silver was an unimaginable huge sum.

“你真的不会看错?”

"Absolutely not." The young man cursed and swore: "That man not only looked the same, but also had a broken arm. How could you admit his mistake?"

After silence in the inner room, Zhang Zihua's face was pale, and his one-arm clenched the handle of the dagger in his arms. As for Gao Chengwei and others, they had already been ready to take action at any time.

“爹,您拖住他们,我去报官.”

“不行.”老人斩钉截铁地否定了.

"Why?" The old woman's voice was filled with surprise.

"Dad, are you confused? Is this five hundred taels of silver?"

"Hmph, I have opened a store for a lifetime, and I still have this vision. Do you know what horses those people outside are riding?"

"What?"

“军马.”

“那又怎么样?”年轻人大惑不解.

"Idiot, since they rode military horses, it means they are soldiers. Do you understand?"

年轻人默不作声.

"Now it is the world of the Huns, and who else can be the soldiers they want? No matter how poor I am, I can't do such a thing that makes people stab my backbone."

After a moment, the young man's voice sounded again, but at this time he was no longer excited: "Dad, what do you think you should do?"

"Prepare the dry food and give it to them. Today, no one has come to our store." The old man's voice was firm and solemn, without any ups and downs, but it seemed like a gurgling spring water could directly seep into people's hearts.
