Zhao Liangyue didn't care about Dai Tiancheng's obscene words, turned his head to look at the surrounding terrain again, and reminded Youbai in a low voice: "Don't be impulsive, we must make sure to stay on the hillside for a while."

Youbai gritted his teeth and hummed.

They stood on the hillside, facing the dangerous peak on the left, and leaning over the official road to the right. The official road is the only way to the mine, and the location of this hillside is very eye-catching, as long as their own people come over, they can see it immediately.

"What are you two whispering alone, talk about it when you get to the barracks, and let me listen too." Dai Tiancheng looked at the two of them as if they were prey, waved his hand forward, and said, "Catch me alive, especially Be careful not to hurt our Master Zhao's face."

The Southern Army from all sides rushed forward, Youbai swung his saber horizontally and began to fight with all his strength, Zhao Liangyue also picked up a saber to defend himself.

Zhao Liangyue soon discovered that the Zhennan army they were fighting against was not like the previous opponents. They were very smart and would not fight head-to-head with Youbai. This keeps consuming Yubai's physical strength.

Outnumbered, alone cannot support.

At this moment, Zhao Liangyue couldn't help but start to be afraid—it wasn't that he was afraid that he would be humiliated and died at the hands of the Zhennan Army, but that he didn't want Youbai to have such an ending, which shouldn't be his ending.

Suddenly Youbai slashed from behind, Zhao Liangyue hurriedly raised the knife to block it, his hands almost lost the handle of the knife.

"Be careful, son!"

Youbai turned around and pulled Zhao Liangyue over, and kicked away the soldiers who wanted to take the opportunity to capture Zhao Liangyue.

Zhao Liangyue took a look at Yubai, who was covered in blood, and turned his head to the official road in the east, but there was no one there.

Dai Tiancheng smiled: "Master Zhao, don't look at it. I deliberately went around. Your poor people have already been blocked at the border of Tang County. You should be dead bodies now."

"Really? Why doesn't this officer know that he is a dead body?"

When a familiar voice came, Zhao Liangyue followed the sound and looked up. It was Bandit Chu who came from the small road beside the dangerous peak. Behind him were the number of attendants and bodyguards of the Zhuo family who were hard to guess.

Zhao Liangyue and Chu Bandit looked at each other, and finally let go of their hanging hearts.

Immediately, the Zhennan Army changed their formation to meet the enemy, but Bandit Chu looked at Dai Tiancheng quietly without moving.

Dai Tiancheng half-closed his eyes and looked at Bandit Chu, and said: "Master Chu, you are so leisurely, if you don't know, you might think you are here to visit the mountains and rivers."

Chu Bie laughed and said: "General Dai is just joking, Chu is naturally here to save people."

Dai Tiancheng looked at Bandit Chu's leisurely manner, and for a moment he couldn't see what he meant. Deputy General Zhou Hua came over and said, "General, why bother talking to him, just kill him!"

"No. Han Shuai said that Chu Bandit is extremely cautious, and it is absolutely impossible to take such a risk." Dai Tiancheng looked behind Chu Bandit and said, "There is probably an ambush in secret."

"Oh, how could there be an ambush?" Bandit Chu threw the saber in his hand to the ground, opened his hands to Dai Tiancheng, and said with a smile, "General Dai, Chu came from the trap."

Dai Tiancheng was even more puzzled. At this time, a spy from the Zhennan Army came to report on horseback:

"Report to the general! Unidentified people broke into the mine!"

"how many people?"

"I don't know, there are probably several thousand!"

"How many thousand?" Dai Tiancheng looked at Bandit Chu, and snorted coldly, "It's such a tricky move, so it turned out that he used himself to lure me away, so that he could send someone to break into the mine."

Bandit Chu sighed softly: "It's a pity, it's too late for General Dai to rush back this time."

"You overestimate yourself. I am more familiar with this Ningzhou than you." Dai Tiancheng said, "Also, even if you can escape today, there will be tens of thousands of pursuers tomorrow, and you will die sooner or later!"

After saying that, Dai Tiancheng didn't want to entangle with them any more, and quickly led the Zhennan Army towards the mine in Tang County, but he didn't follow the official path, he probably knew other shortcuts.

After the Zhennan Army left, Bandit Chu hurried down the mountain road to check if Zhao Liangyue was injured.

"Senior brother, I'm fine." Zhao Liangyue said, looking at Chu Bandit's shoulder that was deliberately covered with a cloak, and raised his hand to uncover it, but was stopped by Chu Bandit's handshake.

Chu Bie smiled and explained: "If Dai Tiancheng suddenly turns back later, it will be difficult to lie when he sees my shoulder."

Zhao Liangyue knew that Chu Bandit was probably injured badly, so he frowned, but he didn't know when he was talking about this, so he could only ask first: "Where shall we go next?"

Bandit Chu said: "It's still Shui County, go around with them, and then go to Shaoshan."

The group quickly descended the mountain, bypassed a small forest, and arrived at a hidden depression, where several bodyguards were guarding the horses.

Because of the limited number of horses, Zhao Liangyue and Chu Bandit rode together. Zhao Liangyue looked at Chu Bandit's shoulder and suggested, "Senior Brother, it's inconvenient for you to be injured. Let me sit behind you and ride the horse this time."

Bandit Chu was taken aback when he heard the words, then half-closed his peach blossom eyes to look at Zhao Liangyue, licked his back molars, and said, "Xilin, do you think I can't do it?"

Zhao Liang became more puzzled: "Huh?"

The next moment, before Zhao Liangyue could react, Bandit Chu had already picked him up and put him on the horse.

Others followed suit.

For Bandit Chu's often inexplicable behavior, Zhao Liangyue was no longer surprised, but began to think about other things.

Bandit Chu looked down at Zhao Liangyue and knew that he was sorting out the recent affairs, so he said: "The matter of thousands of people breaking into the mine just now is a fake move brought by the leader of Leizhai. Dai Tiancheng will soon notice it, but The time in between is enough for us to leave Tang County, even if there is a tail that cannot be shaken off, Zhuo Chuan will meet us at the border."

"As for Ningzhou City, I have ordered Zhuo Chun to personally take people to the town, plus Zheng Xiu and Xu Guangchuan, as well as the unaware Ningzhou officials and defenders, are enough to stabilize the current and future situation of Ningzhou City. .”

Zhao Liangyue nodded, pondered for a moment, and said, "Now the only people who are targeting us are us. It is much more convenient to take a breather in Ningzhou City."

Bandit Chu: "Well, and according to the urgent report, Han Zhou has personally led people to guard the border of Ningzhou. As long as Dai Tiancheng and Song Kui can't stop us, he will do it himself."

"So, we will need to borrow the strength of the Hezhou garrison." Zhao Liangyue asked, "Then what is the name of the Hezhou garrison?"

Chu Bandit didn't answer immediately.

Zhao Liangyue understood, and said: "Senior Xue is planning to use his status as a criminal minister in the old case, so even if Hezhou temporarily uses the defenders, it is justifiable and there is no serious crime."

Chu Bie hummed and fell silent, Zhao Liangyue tacitly said nothing.

As the sun was sinking, the group arrived at the border of Tang County and joined Zhuo Chuan. They did not stop for a moment, and drove to Shui County overnight. In the mountains and forests to the east, they were intercepted by Song Yu's men and horses. The two sides began to chase and hide in the fog barrier. .

Song Kui claimed to be a general of Ningzhou, but unexpectedly lost a little bit. When the fog cleared at dawn, Chu Bandit and others had long since disappeared, so he could only send someone to report to the east in despair.

"Brother, don't you need medicine for your wound?"

In the valley twenty miles west of Shaoshan, the group of people who had been driving for five days had a rest. Zhao Liangyue handed a roasted pheasant to Bandit Chu, and couldn't help asking worriedly.

Bandit Chu tore off the fat meat and handed it to Zhao Liangyue, and said with a smile: "Xi Lin doesn't need to care about senior brother, senior brother is very good."

Zhuo Chuan, who was grabbing the grilled chicken with Youbai at the side, raised his head upon hearing the sound, and said, "Master Zhao, don't worry, Master Chu has already administered the medicine himself."

Have you taken medicine yourself?

Zhao Liangyue was puzzled, because he and Chu Biao had been together almost all the time for the past five days, but Chu Biao took the medicine without his knowledge. It could only be a situation——Chu Biao was deliberately avoiding it. Own.

Zhao Liangyue quickly thought of the words Chu Bandit said when he was in Tang County that day:

"Xi Lin, do you think I can't do it?"

Zhao Liangyue: "..." They are also men, and they are not as strong-willed as him.

However, such words are somewhat amusing - after all, Chu Shangshu has always had a thicker skin than the city wall, and there are very few things that can make him feel embarrassed or embarrassed.

Zhao Liangyue ate the meat that Chu Bandit handed over, and suddenly moved closer to Chu Bandit, and said sincerely: "Senior Brother, I'm still not at ease, let me see your injuries."

Bandit Chu stopped his movements, looked at Zhao Liangyue with a pair of peach blossom eyes, seemed to understand something, smiled suddenly, threw the pheasant to Zhuo Chuan, and untied his belt generously, revealing half of his arms The corner of his mouth raised, and he said: "Okay, Xilin, you can take it apart and have a look, but don't forget to wrap it back for senior brother later."

Zhao Liangyue: "..." Sure enough, as long as a person's face is thick enough, there will be no flaws.

But seeing that the bandages were done well, Zhao Liangyue felt relieved, so he ate the meat that Chu Bandit tore for himself with peace of mind—in fact, Zhao Liangyue thought that he didn't need Chu Bandit to take care of him like a child. , but once a person gets used to something, it is difficult to change it, let alone such a good thing that does not expect anything in return.

The next day, everyone got up before dawn and headed east.

Along the way, the Zhennan army began to increase, and the group had to keep detours to avoid it.

Until you reach the woods thirteen miles west of Shaoshan Mountain, and then to the east is a small plain. Living near Shaoshan Mountain, you can have a panoramic view, which is unavoidable.

Youbai climbed up to a high place to have a look, and then came down to report: "There are many Zhennan troops guarding the east, and the west is also starting to come here."

Bandit Chu looked at the sky and said, "The defenders of Hezhou should be here today, but I don't know when they will arrive today, so I have to find a way to delay it."

Youbai said naively when he heard the words: "There are only 300 of us here, and they seem to be tens of thousands, how can this be sustained. How about we dig a hole and bury ourselves in it?"

Bandit Chu looked at Youbai, who quickly lowered his head and said, "Master Chu, I didn't mean to make trouble!"

But Chu bandit laughed: "Actually, your method is not impossible."

Youbai let out a cry of surprise, Zhao Liangyue thought about it, and said, "When we came here just now, we saw a lush forest with thick leaves, if Tibetans go in, it's okay to hide for a while, and we can lay an ambush by the way."
