Chapter 549
When Zhang Butou rushed back to the foot of the mountain with his men, he happened to meet two guards who were coming down the mountain.

"How? What about people?"

Zhang Butou immediately jumped off his horse, grabbed a guard by the collar and asked.

Why only see the two of them?Didn't catch anyone?Knowing that Catcher Zhang had been duped, he was almost certain that Zheng Changyin was on the mountain, so he hurried back.

The two guards were confused for a moment and were at a loss.Didn't your lord lead a team to catch people?Why did you ask them back?Could it be that people are on the mountain?

Thinking of being lazy on the mountain and not looking for it, the two of them were sweating profusely and trembling all over.

"My lord, there is no one on the mountain."

"My lord, we have tried our best to find it. However, there are only two of us, and our abilities are limited."

You can't talk about being lazy.Fortunately, it can be said that there is a shortage of manpower.This mountain is so big, even if Zheng Changyin is really on the mountain, it will be difficult for two people to find it.

Zhang Butou also realized this, and it was his fault after all.He loosened the guard's collar, turned around and shouted at the deputy: "Bring the blueprint."

At this time, it is too late to go up the mountain to chase again. Let's take a look at the drawings and make plans for the next step.

It can be seen from the drawings that there are mountain villages and big rivers on the other side of the mountain.Qingcheng can be reached through mountain villages and rivers.Qingcheng is Zheng Changyin's hometown, where she is going.

There are two roads again, land and river, which road should I take?
At this time, Zheng Changyin had already got off the mountain and boarded the boat.This is the passage to Qingcheng, and there is no shortage of boats.After Zheng Changyin dressed up in disguise, he boarded the boat.

Zheng Changyin kept his men's clothes, and painted black powder on his face and exposed hands.Paint yourself black.He looked like a farmer who did rough work, and his skin was tanned by being outside in the sun all year round.

This is a big ship with a lot of people on it, just what Zheng Changyin wanted.There are many people, so it is easy to hide.She found an inconspicuous corner to stay in, as long as she didn't get noticed.

Zheng Changyin was dressed in ordinary clothes and had dark skin, so he was indeed not conspicuous at all.No one noticed her, and no one would think that she was a "wanted criminal".Zheng Changyin was just able to calm down and speculate on Zhang Butou's plan.

There are only water and land routes leading to Qingcheng.At this time, Zhang Butou should have realized that he had been fooled, so he turned back, right?So, he will choose to catch up by land?Or catch up with a boat?Or divide the soldiers into two groups and come to chase together?If she were Zhang Butou, what choice would she make?

Zheng Changyin thought for a long time. If she was Zhang Butou, she would choose to catch up by land.And you have to drive a thousand-mile horse to chase it.In this way, they can reach Qingcheng within three days.I rushed to Qingcheng by land, and if I didn't see her, I don't need to guess, she must have taken the water.When the time comes, just stand by the bank of Qingcheng and wait to catch her.

If Zhang Butou hadn't used the Maxima, he would not have been able to reach Qingcheng within three days.Then, Zheng Changyin can go ashore smoothly.This is why Zheng Changyin chose the waterway.

Zheng Changyin clasped his hands together, praying that Butou Zhang didn't think of what she thought.

The truth is, Zheng Changyin guessed it right!It's like a bug in Zhang Tutou's stomach!
"My lord, the Maxima is ready."

According to Butou Zhang's order, the guards borrowed all the horses from the three neighboring counties.Just go to Qingcheng, do I need to use the Maxima?How far can a weak woman who has lost her horse run? Using a Maxima is an overkill, right?

The guards didn't think it was necessary, but this was what the adults wanted, and they could only obey.

Zhang Butou didn't explain too much, he never explained things.He couldn't tell which path Zheng Changyin chose, so he couldn't miss either path.He also thought about splitting the troops into two groups.But after such a long time, the waterway can't catch up.It's better to use the Maxima and only go by land.It would be best if he could catch people while chasing them by land.If you don't catch it, you still have time to watch on the shore.

Three days is a bit long, and Zheng Changyin feels like his days are like years.The boats of this era are still supported by the boatman, which takes a long time.It would be great if there were modern oil tankers.Thinking of modern times, Zheng Changyin thought of Gu Yufan again.I don't know how he is doing now.

After thinking wildly for a while, Zheng Changyin called the big baby in a low voice.After leaving the palace, Zheng Changyin tried to call the big baby every day, but he never got a response.This time, no exception, the big baby didn't respond.If the space appeared at this time, then she would not be so anxious.

But now there is nothing but endless anxiety.

"Cough cough cough..." A burst of rapid coughing caught Zheng Changyin's attention.Someone on board is sick?

Zheng Changyin followed the coughing sound and saw an old woman coughing non-stop, and her husband beside her kept patting her back to help her along.However, the old woman looked very uncomfortable, coughing and panting.

The people who were sitting next to the old couple walked away one after another, and some of them sat beside Zheng Changyin.

Coughing continued, and some people became impatient and couldn't help muttering a few words.

"Don't come out if you're sick."

"You're so old, why do you still take a boat?"

"I don't know if it's tuberculosis or if it's contagious."

Hearing these discussions, Zheng Changyin really wanted to reply, this is not tuberculosis, this is asthma, and it cannot be passed on to others.She didn't speak, though, she didn't want to draw attention.

Due to the sensitivity of the doctor, Zheng Changyin paid close attention to the old woman when he heard the coughing sound.From the frequency of the old woman's cough and her condition, it can already be concluded that she is having an asthma attack.

Asthma cannot be cured, but it can be alleviated.It can be relieved by drugs or autoimmunity.Zheng Changyin has been paying attention to the old woman, just to see if she can relieve it through her own immunity.

It would be fine if the patient could relieve it by himself, but if not, she had to save it.However, if she saves someone, it will definitely attract everyone's attention, which is not good for her.Still observe first.

Mild asthma is not fatal.Fortunately, although the old woman was panting, she was still breathing freely.For a while, Zheng Changyin was able to hold back and did not make a move.

"Ma'am, take a drink of water." At this time, a little girl dressed as a maid came to the side of the old lady holding a glass of warm water.

The maid was also kind. Seeing that his wife was having a bad cough, she went to pour warm water, hoping to relieve her cough.

The old woman took the water glass and continued to cough while holding the water glass close to her mouth.But, unexpectedly, before the mouth touched the cup, someone reached out and pushed the cup hard.The cup fell to the ground in an instant, broke, and the water was not drunk.

All eyes fell on the person pushing the cup.It was a short, dark-looking man.This person is Zheng Changyin.
