general follow me

The road from the capital to Suizhou is not long, but it is different from other official roads that are bustling. The further you go to Suizhou, the fewer shops on the road. There are not as many small towns along the way as in the south, which seems a bit desolate.The weather is getting worse and worse, the sun is shining brightly, much hotter than the capital city, and only one or two pieces of clothes are faded.The sky was getting darker, and a group of people had already left the deep mountain that Liu Ran was about to spit out, and they could vaguely see the small town in front of them.

Shi Yu also seemed to feel Liu Ran's discomfort, so he slowed down and approached the carriage, and asked, "The town is not far ahead, Master Liu, do you want to take a rest first?"

"It's okay...it's okay, after walking for so long, and doing this...so..." Such a perverted mountain road!Liu Ran had already scolded that mountain thousands of times in her heart, but she still thought about her words and said, "Everyone is tired from the bumpy mountain road, it's better to go to the town to rest earlier, don't delay things because of me."

"Alright." Shi Yu didn't try to persuade them much, because he seemed to feel that someone was following them, and although those people didn't make any movement along the way, he still had to guard against them.If it is because of Liu Ran, is it because he is the newly appointed governor of Suizhou?If so, did the previous governors also encounter this situation?If so, Suizhou may be more chaotic than imagined. No wonder the emperor asked Mr. Fulu to hand him a note when he went to court. Now it seems that the emperor must have guessed the situation here. The word still has a deep meaning: the plank road is built in the open, and Chen Cang is kept in the dark; the governor is in the open, and the general is in the dark.

There are not many people in the small town, and the folk customs are pure. At night, it is not as brightly lit as in the capital city. Every household reveals a little candlelight. In this dark night, it shines with the stars on the sky, and also embellishes this quiet town.

Everyone found a small inn to live in. Due to Shi Yu's instructions and just in case, almost two or three people shared a room to take care of each other.Although Hong Lian is a woman, she is as bold as a man. Along the way, she competes with other people. If she loses, she admits it openly, and when she wins, she humbly admits it. It's not awkward when you have a room.Sanyan followed Hong Lian, after all, Sanyan doesn't know martial arts.

Liu Ran was under the personal care of Shi Yu. Although the two had met several times, they were not familiar with each other. Moreover, he was reminded from time to time that he had "bad intentions" towards General Shi Yu, which made him even more embarrassed, and turned over several times on the bed. I just can't sleep.

After turning over ten times, Shi Yu, who was sleeping on the outer bed, finally said, "Can't sleep?"

"..." He seemed to have forgotten that no matter how lightly he turned over, for an expert like Shi Yu, he couldn't hide any troubles, so he had to find a topic at random, "Well, I was just thinking about Suizhou. Why is it so poor? Even if the governor does not act, it is impossible to become like this."

Shi Yu didn't speak, but just when Liu Ran thought Shi Yu was asleep, he spoke, "Someone has been following us."

This time Liu Ran was really surprised, "What? Does the general know who it is?"

"I don't know." Shi Yu paused, but still expressed his thoughts, "If the previous governor had encountered it when he went to work in Suizhou, then the chaos in Suizhou was beyond our imagination."

"That's right. It's really ignoring the king's law to disregard the imperial court's official intentions." Liu Ran said so, but he didn't think so in his heart.

If this situation does not happen to every governor, then it is self-evident who is following them.Although Liu Ran has been keeping a low profile since he won the second place, being the governor of Suizhou will always cause splashes in Suizhou.Suizhou is also on the border between Yuesang and Daqi, so the news spread easily.So, Liu Ran thought, are they going to attack him?

"After the emperor made the decree this time, the emperor secretly ordered me to do something."

Shi Yu suddenly changed the subject, which caught Liu Ran off guard, Your Majesty? !He wouldn't really say something in front of General Shi!Can't it be more reliable?

Liu Ran tentatively asked, "Oh?...What's the matter?"

"Cultivate the plank road in the open, and keep the warehouse in the dark..."

"..." When he said he was in love at the beginning, it was really just a stopgap measure, okay?The emperor promised him not to talk nonsense, and then sold him out!Besides, where did he know how to repair the plank road? !They rarely even meet each other.Liu Ran's heart beat faster at this moment, she was so nervous that she even forgot to breathe, God knows if Shi Yu would throw him on the road if she found out.He also counted on asking him for help when he was in Suizhou.

"...The governor is in the light, but the general is in the dark." Shi Yu finished the second half of the sentence.

"..." Can't you finish it all in one breath? It caused him to die suddenly. If I don't make it clear, I'm asking you to go with the state, "Oh... Your Majesty is really... a good plan Ah!" Liu Ran praised against her will.

"Master Liu, when you arrive in Suizhou, I will secretly assist you in dispatching Suizhou. Shouyue Pass is not far from Suizhou. If you need my help, please send someone to Shouyue Pass to find me." Yu slowly said.

"Thank you, General." Liu Ran said sincerely.

"It's getting late, go to sleep." Shi Yu closed his eyes in the dark and said.

"...Okay." After finishing speaking, he added, "So is the general." For some reason, Liu Ran had a strange feeling in his heart. This kind of dialogue between telling each other to rest is really weird.

Shi Yu didn't answer for a long time, and when Liu Ran was about to fall asleep, he replied in a low voice, "Yeah."

"..." The drowsiness that had just brewed was suddenly overwhelmed by Shi Yu's words, Liu Ran had no choice but to wait again, waiting for her drowsiness to strike again.

In the early morning of the next day, everyone packed up and prepared to go on their way. Without knowing what to say, they went in and asked, "Why are you in such a hurry? Don't you want to rest for a while?"

While helping Hong Lian clean up, a personal guard replied, "Oh! You don't know that. In the next few days, we are afraid that we will spend the night on the road. If we leave early, we can reach the next town earlier. Besides, Mr. Liu cannot delay his appointment, and the weather is so hot, it's better to leave early, and you can still hide in the sun!"

Sanyan nodded, "Yes!"

A group of people set off on the road before the sun had fully emitted its heat.The next thing to go is the mountain road. This is Shi Yu's decision. Although it is better to give the people following them a chance to cover up, he can't ignore the bodies of the soldiers. The mountain road is shady and cool, so they won't be tortured by the scorching sun. .

The people following in the dark remained silent all along, and Shi Yu couldn't guess what they were thinking. After walking for a day, the sun was getting lower and lower, so the group of people found a good place to rest and prepared to leave tomorrow morning.

This is a relatively flat land, not far from a clear stream, with dense branches and leaves, and ripe fruits with an attractive aroma.Liu Ran got out of the carriage and leaned against the tree to rest. After a while, she saw a red figure walking towards him.

"Thought you forgot about me, Master! What? Conscience found out, you want to come back to take care of me?" Liu Ran half-jokingly said, "Your Master, I am still angry at you for ignoring me these days!"

"Master, here it is!" Hong Lian handed it over.

"Why? Just a few wild fruits and you want to send me away?" Liu Ran laughed.

"No," Hong Lian denied, and replied truthfully, "I just want the young master to help check if there is any poison."

"..." Liu Ran said with a funny smile, "you really don't care about your young master's feelings! You won't even give me fruit! Also, how can I check if your young master is poisonous? I think it's medicine, not fruit. "

"Non-toxic." Shi Yu slowly approached from another direction.

"Thank you, General." After speaking, he made a face at Liu Ran and left.

"..." The girl has been very courageous recently!

When Shi Yu approached, he handed over dry food and some wild fruits.

"Thank you." Liu Ran was unrestrained, took it and started to eat, Shi Yu also sat down, speechless for a while.

Suddenly, Shi Yu said, "I heard that your father is missing."

Liu Ran paused, and responded calmly, "Yes."

"Yes..." Before Shi Yu finished speaking, he saw dozens of men in black coming from the front, masked, carrying weapons, and killed them without any explanation.

Shi Yu immediately got up, frowned, turned to Liu Ran and said, "Master Liu, hide for a while."

At this moment Liu Ran knew that she had no power to restrain the chicken and could only listen to Shi Yu's arrangement, so she nodded.The personal guards also drew their swords, entangled with the sudden man in black.All of a sudden, with swords and swords flashing, Liu Ran tried not to attract attention and fled from the safe zone.

Although the personal guards brought by Shi Yu are all strong in martial arts, after all, the number of opponents is three to four times that of theirs. The so-called outnumbered, the personal guards want to attack, but there are too many people. The opponent is entangled, it is really a dilemma.

Liu Ran was about to get into the carriage, but saw a man in black attacking him.Liu Ran and the man in black were separated on both sides of the carriage. When the man in black stabbed, Liu Ran hid under the cover of the carriage.Suddenly, Liu Ran felt a chill behind him, and when he looked back, another man in black rushed towards him with a knife in his hand.

Dead!Liu Ran was thinking this way at the moment, but saw that Shi Yu used his sword to deflect the man in black's attack, and frowned, "Didn't I tell you to hide?"

"..." He was about to hide, but suddenly he caught a glimpse of the man in black holding a knife on the opposite side of the carriage, and shouted, "Be careful!" Pushing Shiyu away, the man in black Seeing that the sneak attack was unsuccessful, the man did not withdraw his knife, and turned his blade to chop at Liu Ran. When he saw this, he immediately raised his sword and stabbed at the man in black.In the end, the knife didn't fall on Liu Ran's head, but on Liu Ran's arm.Blood gushed out slowly, soaking half of Liu Ran's robe.

"Master!" Hong Lian just saw this scene when she rushed over, couldn't help exclaiming, then angrily picked up the sword that someone dropped on the ground, and rushed towards the man in black.

"Whoosh!", five people rushed out from the depths of the dense forest, all in black clothes, but not covered, and joined the battle.

The manpower increased, and the victory and defeat were gradually announced. Seeing this, the remaining masked men in black cursed secretly, "No!" and fled.

Shi Yu helped Liu Ran to sit down slowly, and Liu Ran kept exhaling, "General! General! General! Let go of me first, pull me, the more you pull, the more painful it will be! I am a doctor, You have to listen to me!" Shi Yu neither stretched out nor withdrew, and finally turned to the carriage and said, "I'll get the medicine."

The crowd also slowly approached, and Sanyan who was hiding turned red-eyed to Liu Ran's side, crying, "Master! Master! You must not be in trouble!"

Liu Ran was angry and said with a funny face, "Your young master, I can't die, don't cry!" Then he said to himself, "My hand is really sick and full of disasters!" After passing the clean water handed by a man in black, he cleaned the wound and said, "You are the ones who followed us all the way."

"Yes. The pavilion master said, we must ensure that Mr. Liu reaches Suizhou safely." The man in black replied.

Hong Lian said unhappily, "Is that safe! Make sure! Stop talking big here!"

The men in black knew that they were wrong. They thought that there was nothing wrong with this journey, and sometimes they were protected by such a strong person, so they left for a while, wanting to hunt for game. Who would have thought that something like this would happen as soon as they left Son.

"Okay, hiss~ Hong Lian, others don't have the obligation to protect us." After cleaning the wound and bandaging it, Liu Ran handed the medicine to San Yan and said, "Go, put it back!"

Shi Yu frowned and asked, "Since you want to protect Master Liu, why do you sneak around in the dark?"

The man in black immediately said angrily, "We don't want to either!" God knows if they can't eat, drink or sleep well in the dark, "But the pavilion master said it's easy to observe in the dark."

"Xiao Wuye is quite conscientious." Liu Ran said comfortingly, "Where did the person who found out this time come from?"

The man in black immediately said, "It was found out."

"Oh?"

"Blue Tiger Hall."
