"Okay," the officer listened to everyone's persuasion, put his sword back into its sheath, and stepped back a few steps. "For Shi Sijin's sake, I will allow you to take King Yi out for a walk. You must be careful. Him, otherwise I will not be able to report to Cun Sijun due to my humble position."
"It's natural." Shi Xiushen smiled and patted his shoulder, then gave King Yi a wink, and the two of them strode out.
"Don't go outside this fire!" The officer held a torch and shouted in the distance; Shi Xiushen had no choice but to agree and nodded to him.
King Yi was extremely nervous at this time and did not dare to say a word. He just walked there with his head down, anxiously looking forward to Shi Xiu Shen's 'wonderful plan'; but seeing that Shi Si Jin still did not say a word, this made him He became increasingly uneasy and even began to doubt whether all this was as foolproof as he said.
"Are Master Shi and King Yi here? Si Jin Cun has something urgent to do with him!"
Hearing such a shout from behind, King Yi's heart skipped a beat, and his ears also buzzed. He could no longer maintain his calm posture. He stood like a sculpture, with his limbs like It trembled like a dead tree shaken by the strong wind.
I saw two neatly dressed soldiers riding tall horses, chatting with the officer.
"Master Shi is taking a walk here with King Yi," the officer replied. "If Cun Sijin has orders, I can call them back. By the way, whose soldiers and horses do you belong to? Why haven't we seen it before?" "
The leader bowed and replied: "To be honest, we are from the Shigong's subordinates. Just now, Cun Si Jin went to the camp to inquire about the whereabouts of the Shigong, so he asked the two of us to go out and search for him."
"In that case, I will let the two of them return to the post office."
"The matter is urgent. Chief Cun wants to see people immediately without any delay. You said you want to go back to the post, do you want Master Shi to run away? Ready the horses for them first!" The leader shouted, his face red and his neck thick.
The officer saw that they dared to disobey Cun Zhao's orders, so he only agreed. He and his subordinates led two good horses and stood in front of the door. Then they raised a fire and called out: "Master Shi, Prince Yi! Cun Zhao, you are forbidden." I'm looking for you on urgent business!"
He shouted here, but the two soldiers quietly took out their riding whips and stretched them forward.
"Master Shi, Prince Yi!" Shi Xiushen didn't seem to hear, and the officer called even more anxiously; the two soldiers glanced to both sides, then whipped their whips sharply, and the two horses neighed. , galloping out, taking away the smoke and dust along the way.
"Shi Da..." As soon as the officer said his third voice, he was violently knocked away by the horse behind him and fell to the ground immediately!
"The horse has run away, the horse has run away!" After saying this, the two soldiers rushed out of the post station to catch up. They quickly caught the horses' bridles and controlled them. But the two of them did not intend to go back. Instead, they brought their horses to Shi Xiushen and shouted, "Hurry up and get on your horses!"
Shi Xiushen forcefully slapped King Yi, who was still in a daze, and the latter stumbled suddenly. Only then did he react, and both he and Shi Xiushen got on the horse and ran away without looking back.
The soldiers guarding the post were dumbfounded. It was too late to pursue him, so they had no choice but to help the officer and tell him the news that "Shi Xiushen had escaped."
"You bastards!" The officer was furious and dusted off his armor. "Damn it, it's okay to say nothing, but you let King Yi go! Go and report it to Si Jin, otherwise you and I will die. Eight hundred times!”
Everyone was so anxious that they were sweating profusely, and all of a sudden they became a swarm. Fortunately, the officer's command was quite effective. He arranged for everyone to get torches and ran to the Cunzhao camp in a panic.
"Mr. Shuzhai, please."
The clerk bowed slightly and smiled softly at Liu Shuzhai. I saw many torches stuck in the camp, and the red light was everywhere, making the surrounding area as bright as day, but it was extremely quiet. There was no one in the open space, not even the patrols, only rows of lifeless tents. The weird atmosphere that comes.
Liu Xunzhai had no choice but to take a long breath, lowered his head and walked into the military gate, going straight to the big tent in the middle.
"Is this here?" He pinched one finger tightly and turned around to ask.
But the clerk stood in the dark, and his movements and expressions couldn't be seen clearly.
Xu Zhai looked at the unknown black shadow and became more and more frightened. He had to slowly turn his head, stretched out a hand, opened the crack in one corner, and then got in with his eyes closed.
His whole body was already inside. But he didn't dare to open his eyes, and just listened with his ears - suddenly, there was the sound of sharpening a knife, followed by the sound of quickly drawing a knife, all at once, like a whirlwind, hitting his face.
"Mr. Shuzhai, can you open your eyes?"
Liu Xuzhai slowly opened his eyes, and his face suddenly turned pale. More than a dozen sergeants held white blades and put the sharpest points on his neck, legs and feet, preventing him from moving. Cunzhao was sitting in front of him, looking confident.
"You...want to kill me?" Shunzhai's eyelids twitched, "What's the point of killing me?"
Cun Zhao said with a smile: "I am here to intercept King Yi on the order of the prince, and prepare to accuse him of treason. Sir, you have an evil plot to seize the crown prince's position. You should have thought of this day!"
Xu Zhai wiped the sweat on his forehead and sneered: "Cun Si Jin is a step too late. I'm afraid he won't be able to kill me now."
"What?" Cun Zhao leaned forward in surprise.
"Master Shi has conspired with King Yi, and the two of them escaped on horseback long ago." Shuzhai said slowly.
Cun Zhao was shocked and couldn't believe it: "Even if the two of them escaped, how would you know? It must be a lie to save his life!"
"No!" Xu Zhai argued loudly, "The two of them have already made a plan to escape, either alive or dead. If they fail to escape, you will definitely catch them in front of me to destroy King Yi's heart. "
"Nonsense!" Cunzhao became furious. He immediately stood up and kicked the wooden bench, "You are clearly here to confuse the people of the Forbidden Army. Why don't you kill this person quickly!"
"Report to Cun Zhao!" The clerk from outside the tent suddenly rushed in, trembling and knelt down towards Cun Zhao, "The defenders of the post station came to report, saying that Shi Xiushen, King Yi, and two of his confidants came together. He slipped out of the inn on horseback and headed towards the capital!"
After hearing this, Cun Zhao's eyes widened, and he sat back down as if he had lost all hope. He just sat there in shock.
The sergeants also saw some clues and asked quickly: "Cun Sijin... Do you want to kill this person or not?"
"No more killing..." Cun Zhao gritted his teeth and waved his hands to the soldiers, "None of King Yi's subordinates can be killed now!"
