Having grown so big, Li Er has never been in such a mess before. His helmet ran off, his hair fell loose, and his face was covered in dirt. The horse didn't know it was thrown into the ravine for a long time, and only Gao Zhensheng and an ordinary soldier were left beside him who also had no horse. Liang Jianfang and the rest of the cavalry were either killed or separated from Li Er in the dark. got there.
Li Er, who was quite familiar with Lishan's terrain, hadn't thought of fleeing to Daxing, but last night it was too dark, there was no moonlight or starlight, and the vicious Sui soldiers chased him too closely, and they kept biting Li Er's tail. The slogans for capturing Li Er alive kept coming and going. Li Er, who was in a panic, had no choice but to run into the darkness as much as possible in order to survive. As a result, he ran three times and did not run, the horse's leg was broken, and the team dispersed. Even Li Er, who often came to Lishan to soak in the hot springs, didn't know where he was.
It is of course dangerous to do so. It is true that at dawn you can clearly distinguish the direction and find the way out of the mountain, but it is the same for the Sui army. After dawn, it will be easier for the soldiers of the Sui army to find Li Er. In terms of the head, once all the roads out of the mountain are blocked, it will be even less easy for Li Er to escape back to Daxing, so all Li Er can do at night is to pray for God's blessing, and bless Chen Sangliang to stop the strict search and kill in the next day. he. —Of course, if Li Er knew how much Chen Sangliang feared and valued him, he would definitely not dare to hold such hopes.
Li Er's luck on the battlefield has always been good, and this time was no exception. That night, the soldiers of the Sui army who refused to give up continued to search the mountain area closely. It was too dark to find Li Er, whom Chen Sangliang offered a huge bounty to capture, and missed the opportunity to get promoted and make a fortune in vain. After lingering in fear for several hours, the sky finally shone slightly, and Li Er finally confirmed where he was. The location is slightly west of the hinterland of Lishan Mountain, not too far from the edge of the mountain, and Li Er can barely recognize the road.
Time does not wait, in order to prevent the Sui army from entering the mountains to search and kill, Li Er tidied up his appearance a little, and quickly led two subordinates to set off westward. The generals of the Sui army realized that it was only a false alarm several times, and they never saw the figure of the Sui army. Li Er and the others, who were a little relieved, quickly accelerated their pace and hurriedly marched out of the mountain.
After overcoming obstacles and finally finding a somewhat decent mountain path, Li Er cautiously did not go forward immediately, but hid in the grass, first threw a few stones on the path, and to the surprise of Li Er and the others was , They really caused some commotion. A man dressed as a soldier of the Sui Army suddenly stood out from the grass and walked to the road to look left and right, looking for the source of the sound. Li Er, Gao Zhensheng and others stopped their movements quickly for fear of being discovered. Knowing that the Sui soldier sneaked around for a long time, he got into the grass again.
"It's troublesome, it's a hidden whistle."
Li Er groaned in his heart. Although Gao Zhensheng next to him proposed to kill the sentry, Li Er refused, because Li Er really didn't dare to confirm how many companions were there next to the sentry, let alone whether there was a Sui army brigade nearby, so he could only keep a low voice. Confess to lurk and leave. However, at this moment, Li Er, Gao Zhensheng and others were suddenly surprised to see five or six rebel soldiers walking out of the grass over there. The rebel soldiers were a group of people. When Li Er was wondering about the identities of these people, a young man in Chinese clothes walked out of the grass again, and Li Er immediately understood who they were.
"It's okay, it's my own." After saying something in a low voice, Li Er immediately stood up and said to the young soldiers in fancy clothes, "Are you Li Xiaogong's personal soldiers? Who is the leader?"
Li Xiaogong's soldiers were of course startled by Li Er, they all drew their swords and raised their guns. They didn't breathe a sigh of relief until they saw that Li Er and the others were dressed in rebel uniforms, and approached again. After careful identification, those soldiers of Li Xiaogong finally recognized the muddy Li Er. They were so frightened that they hurriedly bowed and saluted, admitting that they were indeed the soldiers sent by Li Xiaogong to the mountain to carry out the mission, and that the leader was still Li Xiaogong's Captain Li Kan. Gao Zhensheng next to him didn't know the situation, so he was inevitably a little confused. He asked, "Since you are General Li's personal soldiers, why did you come here? One of you is wearing official uniforms? Also, who is this child?"
"Zhen Sheng, don't ask too much, I know the reason." Li Er took the initiative to explain for Li Kan and others, and then asked Li Kan: "Why are you still here? Haven't you finished your errand yet?"
"Going back to the governor on the right, I can't find the people." Li Kan said with a sad face: "We waited left and right on the edge of the mountain last night, but we didn't wait for a person. Finally, the white-robed soldiers of the official army came and blocked them. After leaving the mountain road, the infantry went into the mountain to search again, and almost caught up with us, we had no choice but to flee into the mountain, and got lost in the end."
"Do you know what's going on outside the mountain?" Li Er asked.
"Our big camp seems to have been breached by the officers and soldiers." Li Kan replied dejectedly: "Last night, the villain went up to the high ground to check the situation, and saw that our camp was on fire. There was a fire, and the back camp was full of torches, it should be that the government army has broken through our camp."
Even though he was prepared in his heart, but basically confirmed this point, Li Er still couldn't help feeling like a knife, shook his head and said: "The strength is not as good as others, the young thief Chen Yingliang brought too many elite soldiers into Guanzhong this time. , our division strength is too weak to be his opponent at all."
"You Dudu, what shall we do?" Li Kan asked timidly.
"Go back to Daxing, regroup the army, and come back to seek revenge on the little thief Chen Yingliang!" Li Er gritted his teeth, and said, "Come with me, I know this road, let's go out of the mountain first."
Li Kan and the others were overjoyed when they heard this, and hurriedly agreed, and there were just ten people in the army. Li Er arranged for the rebel soldier in Sui army uniform to open the way, and then led the people to march cautiously outside the mountain. I looked at the young man in fancy clothes used to pretend to be Yang You several times, and some wanted to get rid of this burden, so as not to be exposed by the Sui army after they found out, but they were a little undecided-can be a substitute that is seven or eight points similar to Yang You , is not so easy to find.
Maybe it was God's destiny to help Li Er solve this burden. After driving for more than two miles, the fake Sui soldiers who opened the way ahead suddenly gave a gesture to call the police. The fake Sui soldiers also ran back quickly and reported to Li Er in a low voice: "I report to the right governor, there are two common people, a man and a woman."
"People? God help me!" Li Eryi was overjoyed, and quickly whispered in Li Kan's ear, "According to the plan, let those two people be witnesses for us."
Li Kan nodded, and dragged the young man in Chinese clothes to the front again, explained in a low voice in front of him, and said a few more words to keep the child and his family safe for the rest of their lives, and the young man in Chinese clothes nodded in agreement , immediately got up and walked to the west of the mountain road, and after a while, the voice of the young man in Chinese clothes came from not far away, "I am His Royal Highness Yang You, who are you? Where is your home? Take me to your home, and I will reward you."
Li Er showed a smile, and the soldier pretending to be a soldier of the Sui Army immediately got up and rushed over, and soon, the young man in Chinese clothes let out a dying scream, and there was also a childish scream , and then the fake Sui soldier yelled again: "Who are you? I am Chen Liushou's soldier, hand over your money! Oh, the young lady is very beautiful, come and give me a hug. "
"There are women?" Li Er smiled, and immediately led the crowd over, before he saw the situation clearly, he shouted: "Bold man, don't hurt the women of the people, take your life!"
By the time Li Er and his party arrived at the scene, of course the fake Sui soldier had already disappeared without a trace. Not too big, the little boy was so frightened that he hid in the girl's arms, while the girl was trembling with the boy in her arms, not even daring to lift her head. Li Er hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him: "Little sister, little brother, don't be afraid, we are righteous soldiers under the general's command, not the army, where are you from? Why are you here? Who is this kid?"
The girl quietly raised her face, glanced at Li Er, and then quickly lowered her head, not daring to make a sound. It was only at this time that Li Er realized that although the fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl in front of her was dressed as a commoner, A melon-seeded face is very delicate and charming, with big eyes and small mouth, she is a beauty, Li Er couldn't help but smile, knowing that this time there might be a windfall - this is not black Li Er, old Li The family is notoriously poor in this regard.
At this time, Li Kan, who was inspecting the body of the young man in Chinese clothes, suddenly screamed like a pig, and holding up a golden fish charm, he said that the deceased was Yang You, the grandson of Emperor Sui Yang. After the inspection, they immediately burst into tears, shedding many heroic tears. Li Kan and other rebel soldiers didn't beat their chests and stamped their feet. They all said, Your Royal Highness, why did you die here, at the hands of Chen Yingliang's lackey? The pain is overwhelming, and it comes from the heart.
After crying for a long time, Li Er ordered to bury Yang You's body on the spot and mark it for future search. After finishing this, Li Er said to the common people, "little sister, little brother, don't be afraid, We will not harm you, this place is very dangerous, Chen Yingliang's subordinates will come at any time, you come with us, we will send you home."
"Thank you, no need." The girl finally spoke, and said with an authentic Daxing accent: "General, we are fine, our home is nearby, and we will go home by ourselves."
"No, it's too dangerous." Li Er insisted: "The soldiers under Chen Gouguan are all a bunch of beasts, as you have seen just now, that Chen Gouguan's soldiers not only killed His Royal Highness, but also insulted you, little Sister, you are still young, it is too dangerous, you should come with us."
The girl covered her brother's mouth, and after hesitating for a while, the girl nodded and agreed to leave with Li Er. Li Er was overjoyed, and hurriedly asked the name and address of the siblings, but unfortunately the siblings just shook their heads and didn't say a word, Li Er also said that it was a normal reaction for them to be completely frightened, so he didn't say anything. Asking, just let the siblings come out of the mountain with him. It was also at this time that Li Er suddenly realized that the younger brother had sprained his feet and was unable to walk, so he took the initiative to carry the little boy on his back. The girl was a little worried and said that she could carry her younger brother, but Li Er refused with a smile and insisted on carrying the little boy on his back. As the little boy marched, the former fake Sui soldier naturally changed back into rebel clothes and quietly followed behind.
After a lot of hard work, they reached the edge of the mountain in the afternoon, but it is estimated that the road out of the mountain must be guarded by the Sui army. Of course, Li Er did not dare to go out of the mountain directly. After struggling to reach the edge of the mountain, Li Er immediately directed everyone to hide in the forest , and sent people to the high ground to check the situation, but after Gao Zhensheng personally went up to the high ground to take a closer look, he found that the mountain was very peaceful, and there was no shadow of a Sui soldier, but there was some black smoke over the rebel camp. After rising, Li Er heard the report and did not dare to take it lightly, but decided to wait until after dark before heading west. The rebels continued to hide according to the order, and did not dare to take it lightly.
It was also a coincidence that Li Er and the others had not had time to take a good rest after hiding behind them. Suddenly there were some noises on the way. Li Er and the others hurriedly hid their bodies to peek at the situation, but saw another eight rebel soldiers coming on the mountain road. They were all in tattered clothes, looking around constantly and being very vigilant. Li Er was secretly happy when he saw it, but he didn't dare to be careless. He hurriedly whispered a few words in Li Kan's ear. I was taken aback, and quickly confessed my identity: "We are soldiers of the general, and we are our own people."
"Who are you under?" Li Kan asked.
"We are soldiers under General Qiu Shiliqiu." The leading rebel soldier replied: "Last night, the camp of the right governor was attacked. General Qiu took us out of the city to rescue, but we were scattered by the officers and soldiers. Into the mountains. My name is He Er, and I am the gang leader. Five of them belong to my gang, and the remaining three belong to other gangs."
After listening to the answer, he felt that there was no problem, so Li Er led the people out of the hiding place, and asked the bandit He Er about the situation in Xinfeng City and last night's battle, but He Er asked Li Er's identity with mung bean eyes. He didn't answer, but Li Kan said viciously: "Shouldn't you hurry up and salute? He is our right commander! The second son of the great general, General Li Er!"
"You Dudu! You are the Right Dudu?!"
He Er suddenly yelled, which shocked everyone, and Li Er was furious, and hurriedly shouted: "Shut up! Do you want everyone to hear it?!"
"Boom!"
Before Li Er could finish scolding He Er, the sound of a gunpowder bottle exploding sounded behind He Er and the others. The huge explosion sound echoed in the mountains. Li Er, who was taken aback, suddenly saw He Er's incomparably wretched On his face, there was already an incomparably proud grin. Li Er's heart went blank for a moment, and he screamed: "Oops! They are officers and soldiers pretending to be fishing, and we have been tricked! Let's go!"
Sure enough, when they heard the explosion, many Sui soldiers rushed out of the woods on the edge of the mountain. At the same time, He Er and the others swung their knives at Li Er and Li Kan. At that time, something that stunned Li Er even more happened. The mysterious girl suddenly pulled her younger brother and rushed towards He Er and the others, shouting: "General, save me quickly, my father is a master of the underworld! My father We are good friends with you, Chen Liushou!"
"Children of Master Yin?!"
Li Er couldn't believe that there would be such a coincidence in the world. When he swung He Er's knife, Li Er subconsciously stretched out his left hand, grabbed the little boy's arm, and pulled back with all his strength. The strength of his wrist was stronger than Li Er's, and he didn't hold on to his younger brother while running. His fingers slipped off when Li Er pulled him, and the little boy was thrown behind him by Li Er, throwing him into Gao Zhensheng's arms.
"Caught it! This kid is very important!" Li Er shouted.
"Little brother, little brother." The girl burst into tears. When she wanted to take back her younger brother, He Er, who was afraid that something might happen to her, had already pulled her behind him and handed her over to his companion for protection. Can't hold hands either.
When Yin Shishi's son and daughter were crying together, Li Er, He Er and the others had already caught up with each other, but He Er couldn't stand Li Er and the others' impatience, and three people were killed in a row. He had to take the girl and flee backwards, but Li Er and the others did not dare to chase him down, so they quickly took the little boy hostage and fled into the forest. After entering the forest, the girl kept crying, He was at a loss what to do, so he could only comfort him while sending someone back to the camp to warn Chen Sangliang.
After receiving He Er's report, Chen Sangliang, who was born and died with Yin Shishi, of course attached great importance to it, and hurriedly led a cavalry over to check the situation. When he arrived at the scene, although many soldiers of the Sui Army had gone deep into the forest to search Li Er, but no trace has been found so far. The beautiful daughter of Yin Shishi, Yin Yue'e, was also brought to Chen Sangliang and burst into tears. In her arms, she was so comforting, she promised to rescue her younger brother, and at the same time, she naturally had to take the opportunity to look at the appearance of the legendary Concubine Yin.
After waiting for a long time, the soldiers of the Sui army who went into the mountain to search captured three of Li Er's subordinates, but they still couldn't find Li Er's whereabouts. The youngest son of Yin Shishi, Yin Hongzhi, was also missing. The more Yin Yue'e cried, the more sad she became. Chen Sangliang was anxious and disappointed, but he was also a little puzzled. He didn't understand why Li Er wanted to hold on to the youngest son of Yin Shishi
The answer was soon revealed. A prisoner of war captured by the Sui Army suddenly confessed that Li Er suddenly sent someone to pretend to be a soldier of the Sui Army and killed a child today. Wiping tears and choking, he said: "Chen Liushou, it's a fake, that person is a fake His Royal Highness, the real His Royal Highness, he was already killed by the traitor on the night of September 28!"
"His Royal Highness Dai Wang has been killed by the traitor?" Chen Sangliang's shock was no small matter.
"Yeah." Yin Yue'e wiped her tears and nodded, choked up and said: "At that time, my younger brother and I were beside His Royal Highness, when an arrow flew over suddenly and hit His Highness on the back of the neck and pierced his throat. Let's see Very clear."
Chen Sangliang couldn't wait to kiss Yin Yue'e's tender face, and said in his heart: "Okay! Yang You is dead! He was killed by Li Yuan's bandit army. This time I will occupy the absolute moral high ground! No wonder Li Er wants to Holding on to Master Yin's youngest son, he must want to ask for a confession or kill someone to kill him. It doesn't matter, as long as there is a witness, that's enough! Unexpectedly, this time, I caught a mermaid and caught a mermaid in law enforcement. Such a big fat fish!"
