Chapter 86 How to get to Dazhou, you ask the village chief
Chuan Jianguo said harshly: "I am a good man and don't fight with women."
Obama knew that he was tough and ignored him. The two of them followed Shen Xi's caravan from a distance in silence.
However, the tracking skills of the two are still very powerful. Ye Feng and the others were unaware of their tracking.
The next day, more than ten kilometers away from Shen Xi's caravan, the two of them were holding sheepskin maps and asking a local about the situation.
Chuan Jianguo asked: "Fellow, may I ask where this is?"
The locals replied: "Loulan."
Chuan Jianguo continued to ask: "Then how to get to Dazhou?"
The locals replied: "I don't know, just ask the village chief."
Chuan Jianguo looked up to the sky in depression and shouted: "No one knows how to get lost better than me."
On the other side, the defeated army of Loulan Kingdom initially retreated very quickly because they were afraid of being pursued by Qiemo's army.
But then I realized that there were no pursuers, so my escape began to slow down.
On the seventh day, the defeated troops of the Loulan Kingdom began to return to Defiant City. It took more than ten days for the remaining soldiers to return to Defiant City one after another.
Because Zhamuhe escaped on horseback first, but because of the mountain road, it took him six days to reach Hanni City.
Not long after Zhamuhe returned to Hanni City, he received news from the spies he had left in Qiemo City. The content was that Shen Xi and Ye Feng had left Qiemo City and headed east the next day.
Zhamuhe found the King of Loulan and blamed Ye Feng for the defeat. It was because Ye Feng made advanced weapons for Qiemo and Zuo General Kani fell into Ye Feng's tricks and was defeated by Qiemo.
Some other officers who returned after defeat were also looking for reasons for their failure. After hearing what Zhamuhe said, they simply blamed Ye Feng for their defeat.
King Loulan was furious and immediately assigned one hundred soldiers to Zhamuhe, telling Zhamuhe to capture Ye Feng alive.
Shen Xi, Ye Feng and the others had an uneventful journey for the first few days. When they entered Loulan Kingdom, Ye Feng and the others tried to avoid crowded places and camped outside for food and accommodation.
But on the eighth day, Ye Feng and Lu Chong discovered that someone was following them.
Ye Feng and Lu Chong discussed whether there was any way to catch them and question them.
Lu Chong said: "They are very alert. They should be soldiers or have served in the army. They feel like they are from scouts."
Ye Feng thought for a while and said: "If we can't be clear, let's play some dirty tricks. Tomorrow we will find a turning point and get out of the car secretly. When the people behind us catch up, we will sneak attack them, but try to catch them alive and ask them."
Lu Chong said: "I can do it myself, and you can protect Mr. Shen and Miss Gu in the car."
Ye Feng thought for a while and said: "That's okay, but you should pay attention to your own safety and give us a signal if there is danger."
Lu Chong replied: "Don't worry, it's no problem."
At this time, Gu Li and the little maid came over. Gu Li brought a kettle and dry food to Ye Feng.
Ye Feng took the kettle and dry food bag and wanted to pass them to Lu Chong to eat. Suddenly he remembered that he had done this kind of thing before and was complained about it. So he raised his hands in the air and stayed for a while.
When Lu Chong saw this scene, he thought that Ye Feng was unwilling to share the things with him because Gu Li had sent them. Lu Chong also smiled wisely and said that he should go to Mr. Shen's place to have a look, and then walked away.
Ye Feng smiled awkwardly at Gu Li and put down the water bottle and dry food bag.
Ye Feng took a sip of water first, and then opened the dry food bag. He found that the food prepared inside was very complete, including scones, dried meat, dried fruits and nuts, etc. It was obvious that the preparations were very careful.
As a straight man, Ye Feng thought: "Girls are girls, making a mess will be really troublesome to eat."
The little maid saw Ye Feng was stunned when he saw the food, and thought she was touched and said: "This is carefully prepared by our lady. Every food is carefully selected. It took a lot of thought."
Gu Li blushed and said, "Damn girl, I want you to talk too much."
Ye Feng could only show a polite smile and said: "Thank you very much!"
Gu Li said shyly: "Brother Ye Feng and I are so polite. This is what I should do to prepare these for you." After saying this, her face became even more rosy.
The little maid said with a smile: "Our young lady has already regarded the young master as one of her own, so you don't have to be polite."
Gu Li blushed, punched the little maid with her fist and said, "Who told you to talk too much? I must tear your mouth to pieces today." She said as if she wanted to tear the little maid's mouth apart.
The little maid quickly got up and ran away. Gu Li was too embarrassed to stop and took the opportunity to chase after her.
Ye Feng shook his head and ate the dry food silently. This reminded him of some things in the past. Ye Feng was a little nostalgic for the delicacies of the previous world.
"This kind of dry food is really unpalatable. It would be great if there were cans of Great Wall or Little White Pig." Ye Feng thought to himself.
The night was uneventful, and everyone ate the morning meal as usual the next day, packed up, and continued on their way.
It's just that Lu Chong and Ye Feng have been looking for an appropriate time to prepare for their arrest.
Just in time to see a corner in front of the road blocked by a hillside, Ye Feng and Lu Chong's eyes met and they understood each other.
Lu Chong secretly jumped out of the car at the corner and hid behind the rocks.
When the two people following behind saw Ye Feng and the others leaving their sight, they were afraid of losing them, so they quickened their pace and followed them. They didn't notice anyone behind the stone at the corner at all.
When they reached the corner, Lu Zhan suddenly jumped out and shouted: "Straight bitch, are you looking for me?"
As he said this, he took advantage of their shock and knocked them unconscious with the back of his knife.
Lu Chong originally wanted to lift the two of them one by one, but found that it was a bit heavy, so he simply killed one and threw it behind a stone, then picked up the other and followed the caravan.
Lu Chong found Ye Feng and briefly talked about the process just now.
Ye Feng said in surprise: "You're going to kill someone? Why don't you ask who sent you first? What if there's no malice? Maybe some girl has taken a liking to you and wants to find someone to kidnap you back?"
Lu Chong said: "How could anyone ask my uncle to secretly send someone to follow him? Besides, girls from other families can fall in love with you, but they can't fall in love with me. If I want to tie him up, I will tie you up. You ordered me to arrest the person.
Only one person died, so it’s not my fault.”
Ye Feng said: "Hey, you're going to surrender me right away?"
Lu Chong said with a smile: "A good man will not suffer the immediate consequences."
Ye Feng curled his lips and said, "Let me show you how other people's warriors are brave and unyielding in the face of torture."
As he spoke, he stabbed the man knocked unconscious by Lu Chong with the tip of his dagger.
The man soon woke up from the pain, and Ye Feng continued to prick him lightly, each time pricking only to the point where the skin had just been broken and a trace of blood leaked out.
But this man shouted: "Don't stab me, I'll attack you, I'll attack you at all costs."
Ye Feng was petrified on the spot and said angrily: "You have no spine at all. I haven't asked you yet, what are you going to do?" As he spoke, he stabbed him twice with the dagger in frustration.
The man was so frightened that he shouted: "Zhamuhe asked me to follow you."
Lu Chong on the side couldn't help but burst out laughing and said, "That's it? Answer without asking, right? I've learned how."
Ye Feng rolled his eyes at him and said, "This is a negative teaching material, letting you know that spineless people are shameful."
As he said this, Ye Feng stabbed him twice more with the dagger in confusion.
Under Ye Feng's persuasion, Lu Chong did not kill the man this time, but tied him up and threw him on the roadside.
Lu Chong said: "Being kind to the enemy will lead to endless troubles. In this world, the weak and the strong prey on the weak, and kindness will not be rewarded."
Lu Chong was a soldier, and traveled all year round with caravans. He was used to the days of licking blood with his knife, and he became numb after killing too many people. He felt that Ye Feng had some womanly kindness.
Ye Feng rolled his eyes at him and said, "Didn't you see the wolf dung nearby?"
Lu Chong was surprised and said: "Brother Ye, I always thought you were a kind person."
Ye Feng retorted: "I didn't even kill him, isn't that considered kind?"
Lu Chong said: "What you are doing is no different from killing him."
Ye Feng shook his head and said, "I let him go. Whether he can live or not is the will of their mountain god. What does it have to do with me?"
Lu Chong said in surprise: "I have seen shameless people, but it is the first time in Lu's life that someone can be as shameless as Brother Ye."
Ye Feng cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, thank you."
Lu Chong couldn't help but admire Ye Feng's thick skin, and thought to himself: "Why do you say this as if I am praising you?"
Ye Feng continued: "But we still have to solve the problem of Zhamuhe. He is a threat to both us and Qiemo."
Lu Chong asked: "How to solve it?"
Ye Feng said: "Find a way to lure him out and kill him."
Lu Chong widened his eyes and said, "Don't you mean kind thoughts?"
Ye Feng explained: "This is not a kind thought. I saw him alone outside, and I felt sorry for him. I took great pains to send him to reunite with his family."
Lu Chong cupped his hands and said, "I like your sanctimonious look more and more."
Ye Feng rolled his eyes at Lu Chong and said, "Can you praise me less? I will be proud of you for always doing this."
Lu Chong said awkwardly: "Praising you? That's really not true."
Ye Feng patted Lu Chong and said, "Just praise me. At this time, you are being humble to me. Don't be too humble, it's of no use."
Lu Chong whispered: "If you really knew how to be humble, the wind wouldn't be so strong today."
The next two days were extremely peaceful, and there was no sign of anyone being followed. Everything went well these two days.
Shen Xi looked at the surrounding environment and said, "We have already passed through most of the territory of Loulan Kingdom. We will reach Xinzhi in about three days. After passing Xinzhi, we will reach Xirong. There are two roads to Xirong."
"One is to continue eastward along the north bank of the Weishui River to Yongcheng in the State of Qin, and the other is to go along the south bank of the Weishui River, take a boat along the Jialing River along the Chencang Road, pass by the State of Ju to Bashu, and finally return to the State of Chu via Bashu."
Chencang Road goes south along the river, which is also the route used by the Qin State to invade Bashu. During the Shang and Zhou Dynasties, the people of the Central Plains called the surrounding non-Guwa areas Dongyi, Nanman, Xirong, and Beidi to distinguish them from Guwa.
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw smoke and dust billowing in the distance from behind, and a cavalryman was chasing after him.
Ye Feng and Lu Chong looked at each other and said at the same time: "No, let's go quickly." After saying that, they hurriedly let the caravan set off and move forward quickly.
But the cavalry behind them chased quickly. Ye Feng looked around anxiously and found a mountain of dirt in the distance. Ye Feng pointed at the mountain and shouted: "Brother Lu, go up the mountain."
Lu Chong immediately saw Ye Feng's intention and directed the caravan to rush up the hillside.
Because the opponent was a cavalry, they would be at a disadvantage on flat ground. So I found a slope, and then formed a formation with the carriages and camels facing outwards, so as to prevent the cavalry from charging.
