Chapter 133 The desperate escape begins!
Chen Daoyu's heart was beating like a drum. He threw the child in his arms to Mrs. Chen beside him and walked towards Gu Wei's room with a staggering figure.
He remembered that Gu Wei's room was here. They must not have woken up yet. How dare they escape...
Chen Daoyu took a deep breath and pushed open the door.
Before I could see what was inside, a spicy smell suddenly hit me!
Chen Daoyu only felt a sharp pain and then started coughing violently uncontrollably.
Tears and snot flowed out together, and his whole face was as red as a braised pig's head.
When he calmed down and looked into the room, his heart suddenly felt as if it had fallen into an icy cave in that sultry summer day.
Gu Wei and the others really escaped!
How dare they!
And he didn't know what was put in it, which made him cough so hard that his lungs were broken, and his whole body from his eyes to the soles of his feet became hot!
Chen Daoyu held on to the door frame tightly with both hands. Two severe blows in one day made him so angry that he spat out blood!
Of course Chen Daoyu didn't know that this was the spicy powder that Xie Ling had carefully prepared for several days.
If I get a little bit of it on me, it would feel like I’ve eaten hundreds of peppers. It would be extremely painful, with tears and snot flowing together.
Just then a gust of wind blew by, and the spicy powder spread with the wind.
The inn was immediately filled with the sound of sneezes. Everyone was crying and having snot. Their throats were extremely dry, as if a hand was scratching them.
"What's going on! Aqiu——"
“So spicy, so spicy!”
"Shuishui, I want to drink water!"
Xie Ling actually wanted to kill them at first.
But he was stopped by Gu Wei.
Chen Daoyu is an important official of Beijiang and the most trusted person of the prince, with numerous connections behind him.
If they run away, the prince will at most be furious.
But if Chen Daoyu was killed, no one could guarantee that the prince would not go crazy enough to attack Xie Ling's family in Shangjing.
Although Xie Ling has severed her relationship with the Prime Minister's Mansion, Aunt An is her biological mother after all.
It is not impossible that the prince wants to kill a concubine to vent his anger.
Chen Daoyu wanted to kill them, but he couldn't do it when they were escaping. He had to wait until he took Aunt An and the two Uncle An away and everything was settled, and then he would find a chance later.
In the corridor of the inn, neither gang was in a good condition, all of them were injured and covered in blood.
Chen Daoyu's mind was spinning rapidly. He stared at the leader of the bandits for a long while, then suddenly shouted, "Stop fighting! We surrender!"
"Surrender?" The refugee leader spat out a mouthful of blood and phlegm, "I want your lives!"
Chen Daoyu held onto the railing on the corridor, trying to maintain his balance. He said in a cold voice, "If you still want your brothers to die like this, then keep fighting! At worst, we'll fight to the death, and neither of us will give in!
Your brothers are all refugees, they fought with you for the throne when they were young, and now they are dead without even a complete body. Are you doing justice to them?
Besides, I am a scholar, I know everything about writing and clerical work. With me as your civil servant, it will be much easier for you to do things in the future!"
After Chen Daoyu finished speaking, he immediately turned around, leaving only his back to the people below, letting them think for themselves.
I have to say that Chen Daoyu is quite good at winning people's hearts.
After these words were spoken, all the refugees below slowed down their movements and looked blankly.
Who wants to die? Who doesn’t want to live a good life?
Now you can get supplies without having to fight any more, and you can also have a military advisor and civilian official. Who wouldn’t be tempted?
The same goes for Leader Shen and Wan Qi.
They are fine though.
But his brothers were either dead or disabled, and their situation was not much better.
Gradually, everyone put down their weapons.
A battle was quietly resolved with just a few words from Chen Daoyu.
Chen Daoyu looked very majestic when he spoke loudly just now, but in fact only he knew how nervous he was.
Looking at the refugees' reactions, Chen Daoyu let out a long sigh.
The tall man at the head of the group was able to become the leader, which showed that he had some courage.
He immediately threw away the big knife in his hand, walked over and held Wan Qi's hand, "Brother, I was attracted by your excellent knife skills just now, and we are one family from now on!"
Wan Qi had followed Chen Daoyu these days and had learned a lot about the art of disguise. He was stunned for only two seconds before he started laughing.
"From now on you will be our big brother!"
Chen Daoyu and his group became bandits and joined the group of refugees in Wuming Town.
After only one day, Chen Daoyou used his eloquence to claim to be the king of the world and fooled the leader of the refugees.
That night, the refugee leader was filled with excitement. He took his thousand soldiers, including the old, the weak and the sick, and was ready to use Chen Daoyou's strategy to attack Jeju City at night!
Chen Daoyu naturally followed him.
When he reached the side door at the city gate, he took advantage of the night to slip into Jeju City and ran towards the prefect's residence!
At this time, Xiao Yuliang, the prefect of Jeju, was reviewing documents in his study, listening to his subordinates talking about the situation of transporting civilians out of the city.
“Half of them have been given away?”
"Yes, sir. Only half of the items are left to be delivered. As you said, we will give priority to the elderly, pregnant women and children. Young people run faster, so we should be able to finish delivering them in the next few days."
Xiao Yuliang didn't know what he was thinking about. He paused with his brush and sighed heavily.
"Shi Jin, it's not that I won't help you, I have my people, my family..."
Just as I was thinking about it, a servant came running over in a hurry.
"My lord, someone named Chen Daoyu is looking for you!"
Xiao Yuliang stood up suddenly, a look of disbelief on his face.
"How could that be? Logically, there are still two days left!"
Xiao Yuliang ran out in a hurry and bumped into Chen Daoyu head-on.
Chen Daoyu was like a madman, "Quick, transfer all the soldiers from Jeju to me!"
Xiao Yuliang frowned, "Mr. Chen, this is impossible—"
Chen Daoyu suddenly pulled out the token given by the prince from his pocket and said, "Seeing this token is like seeing the emperor."
There was a thud of people kneeling on the ground in the yard.
Chen Daoyu's eyes were fierce. "All the soldiers in Jeju, leave 1,000 to guard the city, and the rest will obey my orders! Go to Wuming Mountain overnight! You, Xiao Yuliang, lead the team yourself!"
After giving the order, Chen Daoyu took a breath and continued: "First, dispatch 30 soldiers to escort me to Ningzhou, and I will dispatch 10,000 soldiers from Ningzhou to block the way out of Wuming Mountain.
You go from Jeju to the interior of Wuming Mountain. There are 10,000 soldiers in total. We can attack from both sides and conduct a carpet search. I don’t believe that we can’t find Gu Wei!"
Whenever Chen Daoyu thought of Gu Wei escaping right under his nose, he became so angry that he trembled all over.
He took thousands of Jue Gu and immediately rode at full speed to Ningzhou to borrow troops, not wanting to delay for a moment.
At the same time, a memorial was quickly sent from Jeju to the capital!
Outside the Jeju city gate.
The leader of the refugees looked around but couldn't find Chen Daoyu, and thought that his sworn brother was in danger.
The group of people were so conspicuous that they happened to be caught by the Jeju soldiers who were leaving the city when the city gate was opened.
This was the fastest military deployment in Beijiang's history.
Xiao Yuliang racked his brains but couldn't figure out why this group of people came out in full force and fell into the trap?
Outside the city, five thousand elite soldiers were ready to go and ran towards Wuming Mountain.
---
Wuming Mountain.
After walking for two days, Xie Ling and his friends successfully climbed over a mountain and arrived at a flat valley.
The valley just happened to form a wind vent, and hot wind swept in from not far away, brushing across the cool spring water, bringing a cool breeze, which was much cooler than the stuffy mountain forest.
There are many colorful flowers blooming on the flat grass. When the wind blows, it looks like a swaying sea, which is very beautiful.
There are also some white wild berries, which are sour, sweet, fresh and delicious.
The children are now squatting on the grass looking for berries.
Everyone carried a cross-body bag made by the Song family. They picked a raspberry and put it in the bag, clamoring to see who had picked more.
mountain top.
Gu Wei folded a piece of paper and wrapped it around Bifang's feet with a piece of cloth.
Then, he took out the letter that Ren Pingsheng had sent to him before, which had his scent on it.
Bifang lowered its head and sniffed for a while, then spread its wings and flew away.
The speed was so fast that it disappeared from sight almost instantly.
Xie Ling's eyes darkened: "At this speed, it should be able to find your subordinates in three days."
Gu Wei touched Xie Ling's head and said gently, "Don't worry, those people have been with me for many years and are my most trusted subordinates. They will definitely take your mother and uncle away safely and reunite with us."
Xie Ling nodded.
After seeing Bifang off, Gu Wei called out to Gungun and prepared to walk towards the forest.
Xie Ling asked: "Where are you going?"
Gu Wei looked at the dark green forest along the way with a serious look in his eyes.
"I want to go back and mess up the route we took, otherwise we can be recognized at a glance. If any soldiers come after us, they can easily find us."
Xie Ling nodded, "I'll go with you."
She had this idea all along, to make traces of her footsteps as she walked, and to create three or four grassy paths in the mountains to confuse the audience.
However, the mountain road that no one had ever walked on was too rugged. Everyone was exhausted just from clearing the way, and there was really no way to do anything else.
Having said that, the two of them did not waste any time and immediately walked back.
Among the knee-deep bushes, it was obvious that there were many traveled paths. The weeds around them were trampled flat and covered with yellow mud.
After Xie Ling told GunGun the key points, GunGun immediately ran out and trampled out seven or eight paths in the weeds.
But it is still quite different from the ones made by people.
Xie Ling frowned, and suddenly an idea came to her mind, and she took out the mountain motorcycle from the space!
When Gu Wei saw this thing, his eyes lit up.
"Motorcycle? I saw it in your book?"
Xie Ling nodded, opened the fuel tank and checked the oil. There was only half a tank left.
He took out half a barrel of oil from the warehouse, opened the fuel tank cap, and poured the engine oil in.
Gu Wei was like a curious baby, "Is this petroleum fuel? Can it generate electricity?"
Xie Ling nodded and immediately held Gu Wei's hand that was about to touch her, "Don't touch it, this thing is hard to wash."
Gu Wei took his hand back obediently.
After filling the oil, Xie Ling lifted up her right leg and stepped forward with a sweep of her left leg.
Then he held the faucet with both hands, tilted his head, and shook his bangs in a domineering manner: "Sit!"
Gu Wei sat on it awkwardly, but his legs were too long and would touch the ground, so he had to curl up and place them on the pedals in front.
After Gu Wei sat down, Xie Ling kicked the motorcycle with her short legs, and it made a buzzing sound and rushed out at full speed.
Gu Wei never expected that this thing could be so fast and almost fell down. Fortunately, he grabbed Xie Ling's clothes.
The hot and humid mountain wind blew up the two men's hair. The motorcycle went on the mountain as if it were flat ground, except that it was a little bumpy, which made their buttocks hurt.
Gu Wei could originally hold his hands in the air at his sides, but when Xie Ling sped up, he had to hug Xie Ling's waist tightly to keep his balance.
He is an excellent horseman and is naturally not afraid of riding a motorcycle.
The motorcycle was going very fast and traveled several hundred meters in an instant.
Xie Ling drove back and forth in the same place two or three times, and the road he opened up was almost the same as the one people walked on.
As for the tire texture in the yellow mud, let the soldiers figure it out for themselves!
Anyway, they haven’t seen it and don’t know it!
The two men and one beast worked for several hours and soon made the road in the forest a mess.
Even if the group of soldiers were lying on the ground, it would be impossible to tell which road they were taking.
Seeing that it was getting late, Xie Ling rode her motorcycle to take Gu Wei back.
The forest quickly retreated, and the wind blowing in the face was cool and pleasant. Gu Wei nodded in approval, "This thing is better than a horse."
Xie Ling recalled that there seemed to be several thousand motorcycles in his arsenal, including scooters, underbone motorcycles, motorcycles...all kinds of models.
It was discovered during a raid on a motorcycle factory at the end of the world.
Xie Ling adhered to the idea of not wasting anything and transported all the stuff back to her base using a large truck.
I didn’t expect it would come in handy now.
Oil is a little bit difficult to deal with...
But she believes that there must be a lot of oil resources in this world.
Once things settle down, we can use oil detectors to mine.
The only problem now is that the arsenal has not yet emerged.
Considering the nature of this space, it will probably appear only after she consummates her marriage with Gu Wei.
"About to arrive."
Gu Wei patted Xie Ling on the shoulder.
From a distance, they could already see the valley where they were camping.
Xie Ling didn't slow down and drove straight ahead.
Anyway, there will only be more and more modern things in the future, and Xie Ling is too lazy to cover it up. It's a good opportunity for them to prepare themselves mentally.
The motorcycle stopped a few dozen meters in front of the tent. Xie Ling wanted to get off handsomely, but sadly found that her legs were not long enough. Gu Wei stretched out his long arms and hugged her waist to carry her down.
Not far away, there was a cry of surprise.
Everyone looked over with eyes wide open.
"What kind of magical thing is this?"
“It can run like a horse.”
"But it's much faster than a horse!"
....
Everyone was chattering around the motorcycle.
Xie Ling said nonsense in a serious tone, "This is called a motorcycle. It is the means of transportation for the gods."
Shi Shaoxuan asked: "Sister Xie Ling, don't all gods ride on clouds and mist?"
Xie Ling touched his nose and said, "Ah, maybe sometimes I don't like flying, so I'll just ride a motorcycle."
"Oh……"
Everyone exclaimed in unison.
After dinner, the boys couldn't wait to gather around the motorcycle, looking around and discussing it non-stop.
It seems that boys of every age like these things.
After dinner, Xie Ling had nothing to do, so she got on her motorcycle again and took Gu Wei into the forest.
There was still a short section of the mountain road that had not been cleared, and Xie Ling planned to finish it in one go and continue her journey tomorrow.
The motorcycle drove straight to the entrance of Wuming Mountain, and the roar startled flocks of birds.
The two of them were wearing light ancient costumes, sitting astride the car with their long hair scattered. If modern people saw them, they would probably die of laughter.
It’s really like Lin Daiyu riding a motorcycle—weird.
Just after driving for half an hour and crossing half of the hill, Gu Wei suddenly said in a cold voice: "A Ling, stop!"
Xie Ling quickly turned the brakes and the motorcycle stopped in front of a towering ancient tree.
The buzzing sound stopped, and the forest became surprisingly quiet. The wind blew through the grass and trees, making a rustling sound.
Immediately afterwards, the sound of heavy iron armor was heard!
There is also the clear sound of swords and guns colliding when the soldiers walk!
Xie Ling's eyes were heavy, he clenched his fists, and mouthed: "Soldier?"
Gu Wei nodded.
After years of life in the military camp, Gu Wei is very familiar with the sound of soldiers walking!
Xie Ling frowned.
She had expected the soldiers to catch up soon, but not so soon.
Logically speaking, Chen Daoyu should still be suffering at the hands of those refugees!
Without caring about anything, Xie Ling restarted the motorcycle and left quickly with Gu Wei!
