Chapter 62 Bait

When the sky was twilight, shouts sounded by the river.

"The eldest sister is here!"

"I found my eldest sister!"

"Protect big sister...you keep chasing, where did that kid go?!"

"..."

Li Xia leaned over the wild grass at half a person's height. He didn't turn around until he watched the Zhang family's guards meet the weak girl by the river, and then he turned and walked back to the barren mound.

He wasn't going to go downstream, upstream or swim across the river just yet.

Because he lost his horse and was injured, he couldn't escape.

Let the Zhang family chase after him slowly.

He found a grave, lay down, closed his eyes, and planned to rest for a day.

In short, this trip to Bozhou, according to the plan, forced the Zhang family to be overwhelmed. Presumably Nie Zhongyou also left Yingzhou smoothly.

Next, just find a way to go to Chenzhou to join them...

~~
Zhang Wenjing was escorted into the carriage.

She turned her head and took another look at the river before boarding the shaft.

"Ask how much you can worry about, just like a river of spring water flowing eastward..."

Thinking of this sentence in her mind, and thinking of "rolling the Yangtze River to the east", she was stunned again.

After that, I sat in the car with my knees in my arms, in a daze, feeling empty in my heart.

After a while, the sound of horseshoes came, and Zhang Yanxiong's voice sounded outside the carriage.

"Are you all right, sister?"

"Ah."

"Dare to ask big sister, where did Li Xia go?"

"Li Xia?" Zhang Wenjing asked softly.

Zhang Yanxiong said across the carriage: "Yes, Goro has investigated clearly, and the real name of 'Yang Shen' is 'Li Xia'. If you dare to ask Eldest Sister, he..."

"I just learned his name now."

"Yes, with his meticulousness, of course no one will know his real name. But Lin'an sent information, we even know the name of his childhood friend, dare to ask..."

"What was the name of his childhood friend?"

"Meng Qi. Dare I ask Eldest Sister, where is Li Xia going?"

"The lower reaches of the river."

Zhang Wenjing thought to himself, this situation is really the same as his original plan. After going through all that, he finally made it according to his ideas.

"But we didn't find this person downstream. Do you know where he will go?"

"I do not know."

Zhang Yanxiong said: "It doesn't matter, he will never run away."

"Really? He... he's very cunning, you probably won't be able to find him."

"Yes." Zhang Yanxiong said: "But it doesn't matter if we can't find it. We already know that Li Xia is going to Wanqiu County, Chenzhou to meet Song Renxizuo, and we have already spotted his accomplice. Please rest assured, elder sister."

"You... what did you say?"

"Haha, Song Ting has already sold them out, no matter how powerful they are, they will die."

Zhang Wenjing in the carriage was silent again for a while, before asking: "Aren't you going to silence that fool first?"

"Bayin? This idiot dared to yell at night, we found him, he..."

Suddenly, there was a burst of cheers from afar.

Someone rode over and reported something to Zhang Yanxiong.

"Dead?" Zhang Yanxiong asked back.

"Yes……"

There was a "boom" in the carriage, and something fell to the ground.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Wenjing asked, her voice trembling.

The cheers grow louder in the distance.

After a long time, when the cheers stopped, Zhang Yanxiong said happily: "The commander is back! You don't have to worry about anything!"

……

The morning sun at dawn bloomed with colorful clouds all over the sky.

Rows of elite cavalry marched neatly on the official road. Under the banner, Zhang Rou straddled a tall horse with majesty.

A knight galloped forward, with a murderous look all over his body, holding a bloody package in his hand.

"Master, it's over."

Zhang Rou looked and saw that the package was about to be opened, revealing a human head.

"It's ruined."

"Yes……"

~~
Chenzhou, Wanqiu County.

"Is it them?"

"Yes, the person who claimed to be Di Cong escorted the clan elders to Kaifeng. See that old man? The clan uncle pretending to be Di Cong is actually called Han Chengxu. Guide Mansion. In short, the three generations of ancestors have been investigated by Wu Lang."

"Will it be taken?"

"Take it? A few Song people who were sent to die, what are they? Oh, speaking of it, they are 'bait'."

It was Centurion Lei Sanxi who spoke, and his tone was extremely contemptuous.

"Goro explained that the most important thing is to kill Li Xia. I haven't seen him yet."

"Isn't that young man? Quite handsome."

"Looks like he's in his twenties. He should be Gao Changshou, the remnant of the Gao Clan in Dali. This person...is not that important in comparison. Oh, just keep an eye on it, don't let them find out."

Lei Sanxi sneered slightly, glanced at the guest house again, patted his colleague on the shoulder, turned around and hid in the alley...

At the entrance of the guest courtyard, Liu Chun was wearing a Mongolian army uniform, and walked in swaggeringly.

He went shopping with Han Chengxu and Gao Changshou today, and then went straight into Nie Zhongyou's room.

In the room, Nie Zhongyou was looking at the map and meditating, while Lin Zi was napping at the table.

"Brother, this identity is really easy to use. Not to mention the smooth journey from Yingzhou to Chenzhou, you don't have to worry about doing things in this city." Liu Chundao.

Nie Zhongyou didn't answer.

Liu Chun said again: "But we have been waiting here in Wanqiu County for two days, and Li Xia hasn't come yet, are we still waiting?"

Lin Zi woke up in a daze, and asked, "What do you mean?"

"The night is long and dreamy, why don't you go to Kaifeng and get things done..."

"Fart your mother." Lin Zi said.

"Such an important errand is delayed because of Li Xia. According to what you said, Li Xia provoked such a big event in Bozhou, and was targeted by the Zhang family. Wouldn't it be an accident to attract the pursuers?"

Lin Zi sneered, and said: "Before you thought Dali people were in the way, why didn't you say it recently? I also heard what you said to Wang Shun, 'The imperial army suffered heavy casualties, fortunately there are still a few Dali people to fill their hands'. What? In your eyes Here, the brothers who were born and died together, keep them when they are useful, and throw them away when they are useless?"

"Lin Zi, you're going too far. Didn't I think about my errands? If you were going through life and death, did I frown once? They were all selected by my brother. Whoever loves you has no eggs! But let me tell you, If you miss the errand, all the brothers who died will die in vain!"

"Your mother, you open your mouth and talk all day long. I'm so annoyed that I don't want to give up. Can you get to this point without Brother Li? Wait, you can say it?!"

"I'm here to do business, not to make friends. If you, Lin Zi..."

"Shut up!" Nie Zhongyou shouted.

The two of them in the room quieted down, neither making a sound.

Nie Zhongyou himself seemed a little annoyed, with a stern look on his face, he glanced at them, and shouted: "Don't let me hear you talking again, do you hear me?!"

"Yes……"

However, that night, Liu Chun found Nie Zhongyou again.

"Brother, it's definitely not because I have selfish intentions. When I came out of Lin'an Mansion, I had to travel more than [-] miles to get here. The brothers died. These are the only ones left. Kaifeng Mansion is right in front of you. Here, it will arrive in three to five days, but in order to wait for Li Xia alone, wait another three to five days?

He didn't know whether he was alive or dead, even if he was alive, how many pursuers would there be behind him?He was originally a prisoner on death row, but you rescued him, brother, and gave him a chance to live. When did you treat him badly?Maybe if I go to Kaifeng early, he can survive in the north instead.

Let's go, brother, go back to Lin'an as soon as possible after finishing the errand, the relatives are still waiting for information, and try to save the family and the country from the crisis, so my brother can also flex his muscles in the army from now on.Isn't state affairs more important than personal loyalty?If it really doesn't work, leave one or two people here to meet Li Xia, and let's go to Kaifeng first..."

This time, Nie Zhongyou didn't scold Liu Chun, but just paced slowly, frowning deeply.

The moonlight is desolate.

He felt that many people's lives were on his shoulders, and when this burden was pressed down, it was difficult for him to make a decision...
