Chapter 50 All the way north

The group came to the city gate, and the soldiers guarding the city immediately yelled. One of the women said cleverly: "Mr. Jun. We are the girls of the Bianqinglou. The Taiwei arrested Cuixin and had ordered us to be sent back to our hometown." The soldiers looked at this time and saw that they were indeed a group of brothel women. They also heard that Mr. Du Chi's assassination was related to Cuixin. They thought that this was true. The Bianqinglou was the most prosperous business on the Bian River. Now that he offended Taiwei Du, he had to close the door and close the business. Thinking of this, the soldiers had just opened the city gate and let it go. Zhai Jingyue also mingled with the crowd.

Mei Jiutong was dressed in plain clothes and chased him to the Taiwei Mansion to intercept the group of soldiers. Those people shouted, "Who are you?" Mei Jiutong did not answer and flew to save Cui Xin. Those people hurried forward, but before they could draw their swords, they had been knocked to the ground by Mei Jiutong. Cui Xin broke free from one of the people's arms and shouted loudly: "Brother Mei, I'm here..." Mei Jiutong looked back and saw that Cui Xin was less than two feet away from him, so he hurriedly went up to protect her and said, "Cui Xin, don't be afraid, I'm here."

When the soldiers in the Taiwei Mansion heard the sound of fighting outside the mansion, they rushed out and surrounded Mei Jiutong and Cui Xin. Mei Jiutong protected Cui Xin with one hand and drew out the big sword with the other. Seeing this, those people did not dare to underestimate the enemy, and slowly rotated around the two of them.

At this time, a person came out of the mansion and shouted loudly: "Don't hurt Cui Xin." Mei Jiutong and Cui Xin looked up and saw that the person was Du Chi. Everyone immediately retreated, holding the long sword in their hands. Du Chi walked to Cui Xin, held her hand, and said: "Mr. Mei, are you okay?" As he said that, he secretly handed a token to his hand. Mei Jiutong was stunned and immediately realized Du Chi's intention.

Seeing that his left hand was wrapped around white cloth, Cui Xin asked with concern: "Mr. Du, what's wrong with your hand?" Du Chi hurriedly withdrew his hand, thinking Cui Xin still cared about him, and returned, "It's okay, it's just a skin injury." Cui Xin asked again: "Mr. Du, I heard that you were injured by an assassin. Has the assassin caught?" Du Chi smiled and said, "The assassin is a woman and has escaped." Cui Xin said "oh" and stopped saying anything.

Mei Jiutong put away his big sword and asked Du Chi, "Sir, why are you good now?" Du Chi looked at the soldiers standing around, turned his head and said softly, "My father believes that the assassin is related to Cui Xin. Cui Xin is not safe to stay in the capital, so take her out of here." Mei Jiutong was surprised, and Du Chi said loudly to the soldiers in his mansion: "Brothers, you misunderstood. The assassin has nothing to do with Cui Xin. I will let them go and explain to my father later."

Cui Xin showed a slightly surprised look. When she remembered the incident when she met Feng Ruoxiang that night, she thought that the assassin must be her. But Du Chi told the soldiers that the assassin had nothing to do with her, and that she was intentionally exonerating herself, and she was secretly grateful to him in her heart.

After hearing Du Chi's words, the soldiers looked around and thought that this was the family affairs of the Taiwei Mansion, and others could not take care of it too much, so they all agreed to it and put away their swords.

Mei Jiutong rode on the fast horse prepared by Du Chi and took Cui Xin away from the Taiwei Mansion. When he arrived at the city gate, he took out the token given to him by Du Chi and said, "The Taiwei has an order. I'm going to go out of the city to do business. Please be kind." The soldiers looked at the woman on the horse and were skeptical. Suddenly, one person called out: "Is the woman on the horse Cui Xin?" Cui Xin was afraid and lowered her head and did not speak. Seeing that she did not dare to look at him, the soldier was even more suspicious and said, "You are Cui Xin, I have seen you in the Love Building."

Mei Jiutong was afraid that Cuixin would be recognized, and was worried that Du Chi would not be able to stop his father. If the brigade of officers and soldiers chased him, the two of them would probably not be able to fly. Thinking of this, Mei Jiutong threw the token to the ground and cursed: "You are so brave, how dare you stop the people from the Taiwei Mansion from doing things?"

The soldier was yelled like this and picked up the token and looked at it carefully. Seeing that the token was indeed correct, he had to hand it respectfully to Mei Jiutong and smiled and said, "Sir, don't blame the villain for offending it. This woman looks so much like Cui Xin."

Mei Jiutong sneered and said, "Baoqinglou has been sealed by the Grand Marshal. Do you see if you will go there to drink in the future?" The man said, "I dare not, I dare not. Since it has been sealed, where are the young people going to do?" After that, he raised his hand and asked the soldiers behind him to open the city gate and let go. Mei Jiutong waved his horse whip and ran towards Yacao Pass.

Zhai Jingyue left Kaifeng City and took a carriage. As soon as she arrived at Yacao Pass, Mei Jiutong and Cuixin arrived later.

Mei Jiutong brought the horse he rode over, took out a ingot of silver from his arms and handed it to the driver. The driver was stunned. Mei Jiutong said, "A horse and fifty taels of silver are enough to exchange for your carriage, right?" The driver nodded repeatedly, took the silver, and took the horse happily and led the horse away.

Mei Jiutong said to Zhai Jingyue in the carriage, "You and Cuixin are in the carriage, I'll sit on the groom for you." Zhai Jingyue smiled and said, "Thank you for your hard work." Mei Jiutong patted his clothes and said, "Jingyue, now I am a free man, and the whole world is home." Zhai Jingyue quickly changed his words and said, "Jiutong, the fifty taels of silver just now are mine." After that, he reached out to wrap the silver. Mei Jiutong quickly stopped him and said, "We are wandering in the world, why do you care about me so much?" Zhai Jingyue looked at Mei Jiutong happily and thought to herself, "Since he is no longer in the government, we are surrounded by worldly obstacles."

Mei Jiutong got on the carriage and waved his whip to drive the horse forward.

Cui Xin sat in the car and asked carefully: "Brother Mei, where are we going?" Meijiu Channel: "Go to Hebei." Cui Xin was shocked and asked: "Why are you going to Hebei? I heard that Taiwei Du will go there in a few days, so why don't we fall into the trap?" Meijiu Channel: "There is indeed a matter of this, as the saying goes, the more dangerous the place is, the safer it is."

Zhai Jingyue has always admired Mei Jiutong's character. Seeing that he insisted on going to Hebei, he did not stop him. He only said to Cuixin: "Sister, what Jiutong said makes sense." Mei Jiutong shouted loudly in front of him: "There is another person who has also gone to Hebei. If you are lucky, you can still meet him on the road." Cuixin asked curiously: "Brother Mei, who is that person?" Mei Jiutong: "Who else can you?" Cuixin raised her head and said blankly: "Who else will be there? I can't guess?" Zhai Jingyue heard Mei Jiutong's voice-over, held Cuixin's hand, and said: "Good sister, I haven't figured it out yet. Isn't it the one you missed day and night?"

Cui Xin was slightly shocked and said, "Is it Mr. Le? I have never seen him again since I met him that night." Mei Jiutong laughed and said while rushing the car, "It was Le Yiyang. He went to the execution ground to save the woman you met that night and ran away all the way north." Cui Xin said, "Brother Mei, what's going on?" Mei Jiutong carefully assassinated Feng Ruoxiang to assassinate Taiwei Du, and Le Yiyang robbed the execution ground. Cui Xin and Zhai Jingyue were both stunned.

Cui Xin said, "I don't know who she is? She was willing to assassinate Taiwei Du for me, and also hurt Mr. Du. Everything is my fault." Zhai Jingyue said, "Good sister, that woman is teaching Taiwei Du a lesson for you. Unfortunately, she was not lucky and was caught by the soldiers in his mansion." Cui Xin said, "The woman looks pretty pretty and is about the same age as me, but she didn't expect to almost die because of me." After that, she started crying softly.

Mei Jiutong heard the crying and comforted him: "Cui Xin, that woman is the disciple of the concubine. She has known your Young Master Le for a long time, how could she be easily killed by Taiwei Du?" Cui Xin thought of Le Yiyang, and remembered that he had Ji Yun beside him, and now there was Feng Ruoxiang again, and she felt a soreness in her heart.

The three of them rushed to a mountain in Weizhou for more than a hundred miles. Mei Jiutong got off the horse and asked Zhai Jingyue and Cuixin to wait in the car. The two women rushed to the road all night and were so tired that they were weak all over. When Mei Jiutong left, they fell asleep on the car window.

A group of people roared over. The leader saw the carriage parked on the roadside and immediately asked someone to check the truth. The man lifted the curtains and found two handsome women inside, and immediately returned to report.

The person in charge was Tuoba Jiyu. After fighting against Le Yiyang, Guo Rong and others that day, Tuoba Jiyu was worried about searching the entire Kaifeng Prefecture, so he left the capital with his warriors that night. A few days later, Le Yiyang rescued Feng Ruoxiang from the execution ground, and Du Chongwei sent a large group of troops out of the city to arrest the fugitives. Tuoba Jiyu was frightened and hurriedly fled north before he could tell the whole story. On that day, he happened to pass by here.

Tuoba Jiyu stepped forward and looked at it. He couldn't help but feel happy. He laughed and said, "God has eyes, so I met two fairies." Zhai Jingyue and Cuixin were awakened by the laughter. Before Zhai Jingyue could come back to her senses, Cuixin had already taken her hand and jumped out of the carriage and said in a hurry: "Sister, go quickly, he is a big villain."

Zhai Jingyue turned around and looked at Tuoba Jiyu and her men. Knowing that something was wrong, she followed Cui Xin and hid in the grass. Tuoba Jiyu sat on the horse and laughed loudly, "Two fairies, where do you escape?" After that, she ordered everyone to search carefully.

Cui Xin hid behind Zhai Jingyue, her hands trembling. Zhai Jingyue was eight or nine years older than Cuixin. Although she had always seen all kinds of men in the Love Building, she was now in this wilderness and was not afraid. She thought: "Why haven't Jiutong come back yet?" Suddenly, she felt someone pulling her clothes behind her. When she looked back, she found that it was Mei Jiutong. She felt relieved in her heart and asked softly: "Jiutong, what should I do now?"

Mei Jiutong signaled the two to stay quietly, and then quietly detour behind Tuoba Jiyu. He said loudly, "Is this General Tuoba Jiyu?" Tuoba Jiyu was watching his samurai searching in the grass with concentration, but did not notice someone behind him. He said in surprise: "How do you know it's me?" Mei Jiutong stepped forward and bowed, asking, "Mei Jiutong, the captain of Kaifeng Prefecture, is ordered by the Grand Marshal to go out of the city to capture the assassin? I wonder if the general has not seen this person again?" After that, he took out Du Chongwei's token.

Tuoba Jiyu was shocked when he heard the word "assin". That day, Le Yiyang exposed his identity in the dilapidated temple. There was no such person on the spot. So he pretended to be calm and said, "We happened to pass by here and did not see the assassin. Lord Mei can search for it elsewhere."

Mei Jiutong pointed to the grass cong and said, "What are these brothers doing?" Seeing that he had the token of Taiwei Du, Tuoba Jiyu was worried that the constable from Kaifeng Prefecture had already chased him, so he had to leave first, and shouted to his subordinates: "Master Mei is chasing the assassin. We should not interfere with him. Everyone gets on the horse and continues to rush."

Those people had already walked to Zhai Jingyue and Cuixin, and they could find them in three or four steps. When they heard Tuoba Jiyu's call, they had to stop and return.

Mei Jiutong said, "If the general can capture the assassin, the Taiwei will definitely be rewarded!" Tuoba Jiyu sneered, "That's natural. Let's thank Taiwei Du for me when I go back. I will definitely visit you another day." After that, he led the crowd and left.

When Tuoba Jiyu and others walked away, Zhai Jingyue and Cuixin poked their heads out. Meijiu Pass: "Jingyue, Cuixin, you are frightened." Zhai Jingyue said: "Jiu Pass, thanks to your resourcefulness, you will be able to lead the Dangxiang people away in time." Meijiu Pass: "Tuoba Jiyu is the assassin who entered the palace to assassinate. They were sneaking and didn't know what to do." Cuixin said: "That day in the ruined temple courtyard, Tuoba Jiyu couldn't bear to hurt Mr. Du Chi. I guess it was because of the Taiwei's affection, and I didn't know what they had any conspiracy." Meijiu Pass: "They happened to go north, and we can accompany you all the way."

Although Zhai Jingyue and Cuixin were still scared of what happened just now, the three of them had agreed to go to Hebei before, so they nodded and agreed, and set off to continue to rush to the north.

It was already cold winter. In the winter south of the Yellow River, the countryside was surrounded by fog. Through the fog, you can vaguely see the heroic figure of the mountains and the beautiful shadows of the trees. The fog is misty, nothingness, and uncertain. Passersby at this time are like walking in a fairyland.

By noon, the fog had dissipated a lot, and there was only a layer of mist left in the empty mountain village. Looking around, the smoke from the cooking stove was clearly visible. In the evening, the white fog gathered again, mixed with a little smoke from the cooking stove. If a stranger passes by in the countryside, the barking of dogs will sound.
