Chapter 103
Gushan, at the foot of the mountain.

Li Xia leaned over among the trees beside the road, staring at the west side of the road.

After a long time, the sound of hooves sounded.

Two knights galloped forward, they were messenger soldiers of the Zhang family.

Li Xia suddenly pulled the rope in his hand.

"Beautiful!"

The knights who were still running wildly fell down the road, and one of them was about to get up. Li Xia had strode forward and raised the crossbow in his hand.

"puff!"

The crossbow bolt directly nailed one person to death.

Li Xia did not rush, picked up the single sword on the ground, and put it on the neck of another soldier who had just got up.

"You...you are Li Xia?"

Li Xia asked, "Is there anyone behind?"

The messenger didn't answer.

With a "poof", Li Xia plunged his knife into his thigh, kicked him over with one kick, and stood up again with a single knife.

"Say."

"Uh...no...no...just because I'm afraid that you will kill me if you place an order...now the two of you are delivering the letter together..."

"What about the letter?"

"A message."

Li Xia asked: "Who are you handing it to? What do you say?"

"Tell Shen Kai that Li Xia...that you have escaped the siege, let him pay attention...that's all."

Li Xia asked, "Where do you think I am hiding?"

"There is a radius of more than a hundred miles to the west of Yizhou...but this is not our sphere of influence, and we can't encircle it with our troops, so we have to set up checkpoints along the way."

"Do you know where my companions are?"

"I only know that I ran to the east, Shen Kai is still chasing...uh..."

Li Xia wiped it with a knife, picked up the crossbow and loaded it, rummaged for money and useful items, pulled the horse, and headed east...

~~
In the Zaoyuan lobby, the atmosphere was a bit dull.

"Elder Sister is right, you can chop flying mosquitoes with a treasured sword, but you can't hit them... Countless people have been killed on the battlefield, and I personally brought a large army to surround a Shuzi, and let him play tricks like this."

Zhang Rou sighed with emotion, "I shouldn't stay on Shanxi Road for too long. I will return to Bozhou tomorrow. You continue to hunt Li Xia, remember, kill him, and don't let the eldest sister know."

Zhang Yanxiong said: "Yes, as a commander in chief..."

Halfway through his speech, his voice gradually lowered, and he really didn't have the right to say anything more about this matter.

Jingjie said: "Don't worry, uncle, I think Li Xia is not hard to catch."

"is it?"

"Sneaking into the enemy's territory, there are only a few ways to escape. Li Xia has already used them all, and there will be no new tricks. He is nothing more than pretending to be our soldier, and he will be searched out sooner or later."

Zhang Yanxiong said: "I'm afraid he has fled far away."

"No." Jing Jie pointed at the map, and said, "Li Xia killed two more messengers at the foot of Mount Gu. It should be news that he interrogated his accomplices. After that, he will definitely go east to find them."

Zhang Yanxiong asked: "Will he go?"

"General Zhang thinks why Li Xia went to Weishan alone, even at the risk of being surrounded?" Jing Jie said, "He did it to attract pursuers and help his accomplices get out of trouble."

Zhang Yanxiong said: "But it's not enough to conclude that he will take the risk to find his accomplices."

"No, he will go."

"Why assert?"

"Information." Jing Jie said: "It's unlikely that Li Xia lost the information that he had obtained so hard. It's possible that they copied a copy."

"They only stayed in Kaifeng City for four or five days, and they were on their way for more than ten days. How to transcribe it?"

"No matter how it is copied, there is always a way." Jingjie said: "The other six people must have a piece of information in their hands, as long as they are caught, they can try to lure Li Xia."

Zhang Rou finally nodded and asked, "What about the six people?"

"The clues have been found, and Shen Kai is investigating."

Zhang Judao: "Mingyi, you go and do it."

"Yes."

"As soon as possible, I have been restrained by Li Xia for so long, time is running out."

"Yes……"

Jing Jie thought for a while, then suddenly said: "By the way, uncle. Li Xia may... sneak back to steal that information again."

Zhang Yanxiong was taken aback when he heard the words, and said, "Dive back again to get it? Is he so bold?"

"He has." Jing Jie said with emotion: "I have rarely seen his courage and intelligence in my life. Just imagine, he discarded his burden and escaped from this predicament. Who would have guessed that he would sneak back again and again? If Li Xia could Do it, I really want to throw myself into him."

Zhang Rou squinted her eyes. At this moment, even he felt a sense of appreciation...

It was night, Zhang Rou looked at the pile of books beside the couch, and was silent for a long time.

Because of what he saw in the past two days, he vaguely felt that Li Xia had deliberately left this information behind.

"Will you come?" He murmured before falling asleep.

Sleep until midnight.

Zhang Rou suddenly woke up.

"Li Xia! Where are you going?!"

"Ah Lang, what's the matter?" Several guards rushed into the house.

Zhang Rou looked around, shook her head, and laughed at herself.

"I'm actually worried about that kid, can't I?"

~~
Jing Jie stayed up all night, but only saw Zhang Rou leaving with the information the next day.

"Did I guess wrong? Li Xia didn't use such a surprise strategy?"

"Huh?" Zhang Yanxiong said: "I just said, how could he dare to sneak back. You don't have to pay too much attention to Mingyi, don't suffer from illness like Wulang."

"Li Xia is too good at escaping, let's catch his accomplices first..."

~~
Sixty miles northeast of Weishan Lake, there is a eating mountain. It is said that in the early years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, local residents once greeted Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu here, hence the name.

Many place names in this area are related to Liu Xiu, such as Hujun Mountain and Guangwu Spring.

At night, a carriage ran into the woods.

"The horses can't bear it!"

"Shut up!"

"Rest in the forest first, don't tire Ma to death..."

Soon, shouts came from far outside the woods.

Holding a spear, Liu Jinsuo looked into the distance from the canopy of the tree, and saw rows of soldiers holding on to torches surrounding the forest, but they were not in a hurry to search the forest at night.

He turned around and walked into the bushes, and said to Han Chengxu, "Mr. Han, what should we do? Come up with an idea."

Han Chengxu twisted his beard in thought.

It's not that he has no way, it's nothing more than letting people drive away in a carriage to distract the pursuers.

But he didn't know how to speak about it.

That is to say, Li Xia respects him very much recently, and often calls him "Old Han", Liu Jinsuo stopped calling "old nerd", but he, a survivor of the Jin Kingdom who fell into the Song Dynasty, can let Lin Zi go or let Liu Jinsuo go and give up his life Protect yourself?
As for the identities of the brothers and sisters of the Gao family, it is even more impossible.

Fortunately, the granddaughter recited the information, and they would probably take her back.

Thinking of this, Han Chengxu already planned to fight with his old bones.

"The horses can't move the six people, and if we search the forest at dawn, it will be even more difficult for us to escape. If we want to leave, we should take advantage of tonight. I will lure..."

"I'll lure the pursuers away, and you flee while in chaos."

Suddenly there was a crisp sound.

Han Chengxu turned his head and saw that it was Gao Mingyue who spoke.

Gao Mingyue still covered her face, with a desolate look, and said, "Mr. Han, you don't know how to ride a horse and drive a cart. If you can't be lured away, I'll go."

"Hey, you little lady, why don't you change your Taoist clothes? Didn't you see that we all changed into ordinary people's clothes? You change in the bushes over there, and no one looks at you..."

"Shut up." Lin Zi said, "I'll lure the pursuers away, you go."

Gao Mingyue said: "You take my second brother with you, I can't move him, so it's not suitable to go together. I'm good at riding, so I can just go and distract the pursuers."

"There is no reason to let you go as a little lady."

"listen to me."

Gao Mingyue doesn't talk much at ordinary times, but she comes from a princely family, and when she really makes up her mind, she is quite powerful.

She glanced at everyone, and said again: "Listen, don't go up Shishi Mountain, you won't be able to escape if you are surrounded, go to the village and town, Li Xia said he would throw away the information, the Zhang family couldn't guess that Qiao'er had already given away the information After memorizing it, people with books will be searched at the checkpoints along the way, as long as you escape the pursuers, you don’t need to panic when passing the checkpoints, and you can pass easily.”

She said, and asked them to move Gao Changshou out of the carriage.

"My second brother is injured, but you can dress him up as a leper and promise me to take him out. And Qiaoer, after you go back, according to your brother Li's instructions..."

Han Qiaoer was already crying.

"Sister Gao..."

"Okay, let's break out before they are surrounded."

Gao Mingyue took Gao Changshou's Dali knife and hung it on her waist, stepped on the horses pulling the cart, swung her whip, and drove the carriage to the north.

At this time, the pursuers were coming from the west, and they were about to disperse from the north and the south to surround the forest.

Seeing the carriage rushing out and heading straight for Hujun Mountain in the north, the pursuers hurried to catch up.

"Chase! Don't let them go up the mountain!"

"Chase……"
