Wu Kun remained motionless.
My knife was pressed against his chin, not giving up half an inch.
"My lord." The servant outside asked, "What's the matter?"
The voice just now was still a bit louder, and Wu Kun's eyes turned to me.
"Answer." I said softly.
"Nothing, drive." Wu Kun said hurriedly.
But at this moment, there was a sound of chaotic footsteps, and someone said: "My lord! The city is on fire!"
Wu Kun's expression changed, and I pushed the dagger into the flesh.
"Understood, let's go." Wu Kun replied.
There was no more disturbing sound from outside, and the carriage galloped away.
I didn't dare to let go for a moment, my heart was beating fiercely like a drum.
"You are also very scared, aren't you?" Wu Kun's voice changed a bit, "If you let me go, I will let you go."
"You don't need to worry about this matter for the time being, the general." Unmoved, I forced him with a dagger, "General Lao raised his hands to the wall of the car."
Wu Kun slowly raised his hand.
"And the general's legs, kneeling straight."
Wu Kun's eyes suddenly became hostile, I pointed the sharp part of the dagger straight, and said coldly: "The general's every move is in the eyes of the concubine, and the carriage is not moving steadily. If the general moves a little, don't blame the knife for being too sharp." .”
The light from the torches shone through the car window, and sometimes soldiers passed by in a hurry, and I could feel Wu Kun's resentment. I have been holding on to the confrontation, and I dare not relax for a moment. The road was longer than before, and when I finally arrived at the house, my hands and body were already sore and stiff.
The car stopped, and the people outside said: "My lord, we're here."
"Let the people in the house come out." I whispered.
"Let the people in the house come out," Wu Kun said.
The people outside seemed a little puzzled: "My lord, the person in the house is..."
"Let it out." Wu Kun repeated.
The people outside responded. Not long after, the sound of the door opening came. I glanced out the car window, and Gong Yanggui and others came out with uncertain expressions.
"Open the door!" Wu Kun said suddenly.
I have already tightened my hand holding the dagger, and said in a low and harsh tone, "The general wants to die?"
Wu Kun held his head up from the blade, but with a mocking smile, he said slowly, "If you kill me now, you won't even be able to get out of the city gate."
I was in a hurry, but he was right. Seeing the car door open, I took a deep breath to stabilize my mood.
The light from the torch was shining, and the servants were about to come forward to serve, and they were all stunned when they saw the situation in the car.
"Don't move." I shouted, turning the dagger in my hand a little, so that they could see the shiny blade and Wu Kun's neck clearly, "Stand back, put down the weapon, and let my people come over. Otherwise, wait for the lord The name is not guaranteed!"
The weapons were pointed at me densely, and those people's faces were full of surprise and hesitation.
"Let them do what I say." I said to Wu Kun.
"According to Madam," Wu Kun said.
Everyone looked at each other, and then lowered their weapons.
"Ma'am!" A Yuan was the first to run to the car, his eyes were red.
I don't have time Kun took it.
Wu Kun struggled and yelled angrily: "You dare to rob me! Dingjiao, you don't seem to be buried..." Before he finished speaking, he was punched in the stomach by the ram, and he curled up in pain.
"The general said this too early." Gong Yanggui said coldly, "If you don't die, you have to pass tonight." As he spoke, he tied Wu Kun's hands behind his back and threw him into a corner.
While talking, everyone came up, Wei Jiao shouted to the front of the car: "Go!"
Only the sound of the whip was heard, and the carriage moved and galloped forward.
I leaned against the wall of the car and took a moment to relax. Only then did I feel sore all over, and my clothes had already been soaked in cold sweat.
"Does Uncle Huang know where the city gate is?" I was still worried.
"I know." Gong Yanggui said, "There are five bright lights in the city."
"Out of town?"
"When you get out of the city, go to the water's edge. There are boats."
I was surprised and remembered the place where the banquet was held just now. If there is a boat, it is indeed fast to escape.
"Then Yang San and the others are sure to prepare a boat?" A Yuan said uncertainly.
Gong Yanggui smiled wryly: "Then I don't know."
Everyone stared and fell silent for a while.
"We have him." Wei An said, who had been silent all this time, looking at Wu Kun.
Wu Kun stared at him, eyes like a beast.
Carriages galloped through the streets, soldiers were everywhere, and someone shouted "fire".
"Did Yang San succeed?" Wei Jiao asked nervously.
Gong Yang looked at the sky, seemed to be counting the time, and nodded for a moment: "If there is no accident, it should be successful."
But at this moment, more noises came from behind the car, someone yelled "protect the lord", and the sound of horseshoes hurriedly approached.
"The news spread too fast." Gong Yanggui frowned and turned to Wei An, "Fourth Young Master."
Wei An nodded, and quickly lifted the carpeted mats on the car, uncovered a piece of floor, and there was a wooden box underneath.
Wu Kun looked at it with disbelief.
Wei An took out a self-made wooden bow and a dozen arrows from it, Gong Yang took it and hung it up.
The sound of horseshoes approaching, Gong Yang opened a car door, drew a bow and shot an arrow, and screams came from behind. I looked nervously, saw a blade of light coming, and said hurriedly: "Be careful!"
Gong Yang shut the door with a bang, and said, "Fourth Young Master, Iron Spike!"
Wei An didn't rush, it seemed that something was opened, and there was a clear "wow". Not long after, screams continued from behind, much louder than before, and seemed to be a group of people.
Wei Jiao laughed out loud, I was also dumbfounded watching the battle.
"Dangdang" sounded several times, and it seemed that something was unwillingly hitting the carriage.
"Close the windows, they have bows and arrows!" Gong Yang said, Wei Jiao and Wei An hurriedly pulled down the windows on both sides. The fine iron compartment is compact, instantly blocking the light and noise outside.
"My lord! Ah..." Uncle Huang suddenly cried out in pain, and everyone was shocked.
The carriage slowed down, and Gong Yanggui hurriedly reached out and tore off the curtain on the front wall, and opened the front door. The night wind blows, and the city gate stands in front of it. Uncle Huang was hit by an arrow in one arm, but he still drove the carriage to left and right. Right in front of him, a group of cavalry came rushing, and the leader was actually Lin Chong.
"Thief! Don't act wild!" Lin Chong yelled, and immediately stood in front of the car, pointing at a eight-foot steel spear in his hand.
Gong Yanggui stopped the carriage and said in a deep voice, "Wei Jiao, heal Uncle Huang."
Wei Jiao agreed and quickly dragged Uncle Huang in.
There were sergeants on both sides of the street, some pointed their weapons at the carriages, some didn't know why, and they were chaotic.
Gong Yanggui turned around, pulled Wu Kun up, and smiled, "General, it's your turn." After that, he carried him to the front of the car.
Everyone in front of the carriage changed color.
"Brother!" Wu Jiao rode out from behind Lin Chong, but was stopped by Lin Chong.
"Tell them to open the city gate!" Gong Yanggui pressed the dagger against Wu Kun's jaw.
Wu Kun glared at him, but kept silent.
Gong Yanggui's eyes were sharp, and with a movement of his hand, a red line appeared on Wu Kun's neck.
"Get out of the way! Open the city gate!" Wu Kun's face turned pale, and he immediately shouted.
The road ahead immediately gave way.
But Lin Chong was still standing there, his expression uncertain.
"The general doesn't care about your lord's life?" Gong Yanggui's voice was cold, and the dagger fell across Wu Kun's neck on the other side.
"Lin Chong!" Wu Kun's voice was a little hoarse, showing panic.
Only then did Lin Chong put away his weapons and ordered: "Open the city gate."
Gong Yanggui held Wu Kun motionless, and said, "Wei Jiao."
"Here we come!" Wei Jiao let go of Uncle Huang who had just been bandaged, and climbed to the front to drive, muttering in a low voice, "So-and-so is Bian Que, who is both a doctor and a coachman..."
The city gate ahead opened slowly, like a gap in a desperate situation, and the carriage was silent, only the sound of high and low breathing.
The whip sounded crisply, and the carriage moved on again.
"Brother..." Wu Jiao stood beside the road with eyes wide open, angry and anxious.
After leaving the city gate, the carriage galloped all the way. Wei Jiao followed the direction given by Yang San, and within half a moment, he could already see the bright lights on the tall buildings by the river ahead.
But when the ferry approached, the surface of the river was empty.
"Where are Yang San and the others? Where's the boat?" I asked Gong Yanggui anxiously.
Gong Yang didn't answer, and at this moment, under the light of the torch, a figure suddenly rushed towards him.
Wei An hastily picked up his bow and arrow, but Gong Yang Gu said, "Stop! It's one of our own!"
I looked, sure enough, that person looked familiar, he was Yang San's brother.
"Brother Gongyang!" he shouted, and Wei Jiao quickly stopped the carriage.
"Where's the boat?!" Gong Yanggui asked hastily.
The man panted, and said: "The ship... never succeeded! The brother who stole... the ship thief was discovered!"
My heart sank, and everyone turned pale.
"Has the eldest brother been rescued?" Gong Yanggui asked.
The man nodded and said: "We have been rescued, but it is difficult to get out of the city gate. The third brother asked me to come down from the city wall and wait here. He said that you are now, they have their own way."
The ram nodded, and was about to speak again, when the sound of the pursuers was approaching, and the light from the torches gathered brightly.
"Ma'am, Jiangshang..." A Yuan's voice trembled, tugging at my sleeve.
I turned my head and looked, also surprised. A large ship appeared on the river at some point, and was slowly approaching the shore. The fire was shining on it, and there was a handsome flag on it, with the word "Wu" written on it.
"You go back!" Gong Yanggui said to the man, after finishing speaking, he turned to Wu Kun.
"I am waiting for a desperate situation. Now, I can only borrow a boat from the general."
Wu Kun stared at him expressionlessly without making a sound.
At this moment, the horses and horses on the main road had arrived, Lin Chong was the first to ride, and shouted: "Don't go, rats!"
Gong Yanggui was fearless, and pulled Wu Kun to him: "Could it be that the general is here again to test whether I dare to fight?"
Lin Chong sneered, pointed at the spear suddenly, and shouted loudly: "We have got the reward, the lord has returned to the house! The person in the hands of the rat is a fake, shoot me to death with random arrows!"
Everyone was shocked.
"Lin Chong! You bastard!" Wu Kun was also stunned, and then his eyes were tearing apart, and he yelled angrily.
Gong Yanggui stuffed him back into the car and shouted, "Wei Jiao! Let's go!"
Wei Jiao hastily turned the front of the car before running, and the sound of piercing the air was already coming like rain. The carriage was galloping, the wheels bumped on the potholed road so that it was unsteady to sit on, and the sound of falling arrows came from outside the carriage.
But the carriage slowed down after all, and the noise was approaching, Gong Yanggui shouted to Wei An: "Fire oil!"
Wei An stretched out his hand to pull the mechanism under the floor, and Gong Yanggui threw a torch out of the car. With a "boom", the flames shot up from the ground, enveloping figures and screams.
But there are still cavalry rushing out of the fire, and through the cracks in the car windows, I can already see the blade light on the weapons.
Gong Yanggui picked up his bow, but there were very few arrows.
"Ma'am..." A Yuan hugged me in fear, his hands were cold.
My heart almost jumped out of my throat, and I touched my upper abdomen with trembling hands, helpless and desperate...
The screams suddenly sounded.
Not anyone in the car, but outside the car.
I looked, inexplicably, those cavalry who were chasing behind fell down one by one, and the arrows were like locusts in the flames.
"Boat." Wei An said suddenly, watching from the other side of the car window.
We followed and looked, and sure enough, the big ship on the river had already docked. Looking from here, the soldiers on the ship were shooting bows and arrows at the back of our car. Everyone was suspicious, but there was no time to think about it, Wei Jiao raised his whip and rushed towards the boat.
The shouts of chasing soldiers still came from behind, but they were forced to move forward by the condescending arrows.
"Fourth son! Young lady!" Someone shouted on the boat, and I opened my eyes wide. It was far away in the night, and they couldn't see clearly, but the voice was familiar, and it was clearly Cheng Mao!
"Brother!" Wei An's eyes lit up.
I was also taken aback.
A person was leading the soldiers down from the big ship. I would not mistake that figure no matter how dark the night was or how far away it was.
A Yuan whimpered and cried out.
I put my hands on my stomach and watched the person I was dreaming of rushing towards me. I felt like I had a dream that was as long as an eternity, and my eyes were blurred.

"Get out of the car! Hurry up!" Gong Yanggui yelled loudly, I quickly wiped my eyes, and got out of the car together with A Yuan.
"Shield! Shield!" Someone shouted, and a sergeant had already come over with a shield to cover it.
A sergeant ran over and said, "Young Madam, hurry up..." Before I could finish speaking, I was blocked by a tall figure.
Looking up, those thick black eyes stared at me, my cheeks were reflected in the flickering firelight, um... I lost weight.
Tears welled up again suddenly, and I covered my mouth.
"Why are you crying..." Wei Tan's voice was a little nervous, but he turned his head and shouted, "Cheng Mao! Don't bother, we'll get on the boat when everyone is ready!"
Cheng Mao responded.
Wei Tan didn't say much, he picked me up horizontally, turned around and ran quickly towards the boat.
The soldiers on the boat were busy for a while, only hearing the sound of "squeaky" paddling, the big boat moved slowly, leaving behind a shadow of flames on the shore.
Wei Tan came back after he had been busy for a while, and looked at me.
I looked at him too, with a sob in my throat.
"Still crying?" He whispered, reaching out to wipe my tears.
I grabbed his hand, it was rough to the touch, familiar and warm. Everything is true. I opened my mouth and wanted to say something, but it was like too much water squeezed into a bottle with a narrow mouth, and it was difficult to pour it out suddenly.
Wei Tan sighed softly and pressed my head into his arms.
The long-lost taste, warm and stable. I took a deep breath, as if I was still questioning whether it was a dream, listening to the heartbeat, tightly holding his arm...
"Brother." Not long after, Wei An's voice came from beside him.
I looked up from Wei Tan's arms, only to find that there were many people behind him staring at us with flickering eyes.
Embarrassed, I parted ways with him.
Wei Tan still held my hand, looked at Wei An, and smiled: "Are you afraid just now?"
Wei An shook his head: "Not afraid."
Wei Tan patted him on the shoulder, and turned aside for a moment.
Wu Kun sat on the side of the boat, motionless. His hair was a little disheveled, and bloodstains were visible on his neck. But what changed the most was the face. He stared at Wei Tan, his eyes were red, but he had lost the previous arrogance and sharpness.
Wei Tan walked up to him.
"You are Wei Tan." Wu Kun's voice was low and calm.
"Exactly." Wei Tan said.
Wu Kun's face was expressionless, and for a moment, his eyes moved to me.
There was a mocking smile on his face, and he sighed: "I was confused for a moment, and now it falls into your hands. This is the border of Jiangdong, who helped you come here? Cui? Or Pei Qian?"
The corner of Wei Tan's lips twitched, and he said, "Gongtai might as well worry about his life, I was the one who rescued Gongtai from a desperate situation just now."
Wu Kun's complexion changed, and his pale face became more cloudy and uncertain.
"Young Master." At this time, Cheng Mao came over and said, "There are three military boats ahead." Then, he looked at Wu Kun, "They belong to Jiangdong."
