It cleared up after the rain, and a scorching sun rose from the sky, dispelling the coldness of early spring.
On the official road, a red-brown horse came slowly, carrying a man and a woman on its back.
A girl wearing a black brocade robe sat in front, holding the rein in one hand, with a solemn expression.
Behind him was a young man also dressed in black, sitting sideways, one hand around the waist of the girl in front of him, and the other hand holding the red halberd tightly.
It can be seen that the young man's face is quite painful, and as the road is bumpy, he will take a breath of cold air from time to time.
These two people were Lin Zhe and Lu Lingqi who escaped from Lu Bu yesterday.
The two rode their horses to a stop by the stream. Lin Zhe jumped off the horse, his legs weakened and he almost fell down.
"Husband, are you okay?"
Seeing the cold sweat on Lin Zhe's forehead, Lu Lingqi quickly got off her horse and asked with concern.
"call--"
"I'm fine-"
Lin Zhe shook his head, indicating that he was okay, then endured the pain, moved his legs outwards, and slowly moved until he sat down on a relatively flat stone by the stream.
Seeing Lin Zhe's painful look, Lu Lingqi picked up the dagger at her waist and slowly walked towards him.
"Husband, spread your legs..."
"I'll try to be gentler, you...be patient..."
When she said this, Lu Lingqi had a hint of shyness and a hint of distress on her face.
"hiss--"
As a flash of sword light flashed, Lin Zhe couldn't help but scream.
"Okay, it has been torn open. Now we just need to wait for the wound to scab and my husband will be able to adapt..."
Last night, in order to avoid Lu Bu's pursuit, Lin Zhe and Lu Lingqi rode almost all night.
The result was that Lu Lingqi was fine, Lin Zhe's legs were almost completely worn out, and the slightest friction between her butt and the saddle caused severe pain.
The most terrible thing is that the light rain last night mixed with sweat and blood, causing the wounds on Lin Zhe's inner thighs and clothes to stick together.
As a last resort, Lin Zhe could only ask Lu Lingqi to take a knife and tear off the newly healed scars together with the clothes, and then let them heal again.
Otherwise, infection and inflammation will be even more troublesome.
Looking at Lu Lingqi again, her face was as red as blood, and there was a hint of shyness in her eyes.
The location of Lin Zhe's injury was too sensitive. When Lu Lingqi was bandaging, she would inadvertently touch places she shouldn't have touched. Every time her fingers crossed, her body could not help but tremble.
In order to ease her own embarrassment, Lu Lingqi had to change the topic.
"Husband, where should we go next?"
"Where are we going..."
A look of thought appeared on Lin Zhe's face. Their current location was probably in the southeast of Xiapi, which was exactly the opposite direction to Xiaopei.
It is impossible to go back. At the very least, you have to wait until your wounds are almost healed before you can consider going back.
Moreover, he had to wait for Zhang Fei. He left first last night just to prevent Zhang Fei from being tied up and to be able to do whatever he wanted.
I believe that without him being a burden, it would not be difficult for him to escape from Lu Bu.
"Let's go to Tong County first, where we can recuperate and wait for General Zhang, and then..."
"Follow me to find someone in Dongcheng County!"
"Find someone?"
"My husband still knows someone in Dongcheng County?"
Lin Zhe shook his head and said, "Zhe only knows him from one side. He probably doesn't know my name yet..."
"ah?"
After hearing this, Lu Lingqi couldn't help but be stunned, blinked her eyes, and said worriedly:
"Right now, my father's army and Yuan Shu are still confronting each other in the Xuyi and Huaiyin areas. Dongcheng County is Yuan Shu's territory. Is it dangerous for my husband to go to Dongcheng County now?"
Lin Zhe blinked, then firmly shook his head and explained: "This person has great talent in the world. When it comes to strategy and internal affairs, let alone me, even if the whole world is put together, there is no one who can defeat him with only his hands."
Number!"
"For this person, it's worth taking some risks!"
As Lu Lingqi said, Lin Zhe also knew that this trip was indeed risky, but for Lu Su, the risk was nothing!
If I remember correctly, Lu Su is still serving in Dongcheng County, but after Zhou Yu defected to Sun Ce from Yuan Shu, Lu Su would not be able to escape.
Lu Su himself was soft-tempered, and Zhou Yu, a young man, used a cunning trick to bring Lu Su's mother to Wu in advance.
With a big stick in one hand and sweet dates in the other, Lu Su was abducted by Zhou Yu.
So while he was still in Dongcheng, he had to go there quickly to see if he could persuade Lu Su.
When she heard Lin Zhe's praise, Lu Lingqi couldn't help but become curious.
Who is this person?
In her opinion, Lin Zhe's strategy was already one of the best in the world, and what would it be like to be a person who could be even more powerful than her husband?
Lin Zhe didn't explain much. The two rested briefly for an hour and then decided to continue on their way.
I don't know if there are Lu Bu's pursuers behind him, and Lin Zhe doesn't dare to be careless now.
At this time, his legs have also been bandaged, using Lu Lingqi's close-fitting fabric, which is very breathable.
Although blood is still oozing out, the pain has become much weaker.
In the blink of an eye, another two hours passed.
Just when Lin Zhe felt a dull pain in his crotch again, Tong County was finally in sight.
Finally I can take a break...
However, at this moment, five or six "bandits" suddenly appeared from both sides of the road, blocking Lin Zhe's path.
"You two children, leave the horses, money and food, and I will spare your life!"
There are no tacky slogans such as "I built this mountain and planted this tree. If you want to live from now on, you will leave money to buy the road."
These people's words were quite concise and their purpose was very clear. What they wanted was Lin Zhe's horses.
Sensing the unkindness of the people in front of him, Lin Zhe couldn't help but look closely and found that the people blocking the road were dressed in tatters, with patches all over their bodies, and their faces were full of mud.
Moreover, only the two leaders held the standard long swords in the army, and the other three even held hoes and pickaxes in their hands.
They are said to be bandits, but in fact they are no different from refugees.
Before that, maybe they were just ordinary people.
"Husband, what should I do?" Lu Lingqi asked softly.
"Uh...just don't kill anyone..."
"Hahahaha..." Hearing the quiet conversation between Lin Zhe and Lu Lingqi, the leader of the thieves couldn't help laughing and said: "Don't worry, as long as you keep the horses obediently, we won't kill anyone..."
In the eyes of the thief, Lin Zhe and Lu Lingqi were probably young masters from aristocratic families who were ignorant of the world. They sneaked out without being accompanied by their guards. They were just like big fat sheep being handed over to their mouths!
After taking away their horses, money and food, they can then sell them to the military master, and they can get a lot of food in exchange.
So what if these two people are young masters from aristocratic families?
Isn’t it still useless if you can’t find yourself?
Do you want to kill people and silence them...
That girl is so handsome. She has a much better figure than Widow Li. If she could...
Thinking of this, the thief had a fierce look in his eyes and seemed to have made up his mind. He secretly made a gesture to signal the brothers to surround him directly.
