Li Kuo couldn't suppress the surprise in his heart, and his chest heaved rapidly.
It was him, it turned out to be him! From the first time I saw him, I felt that there was something wrong with his identity. But at that time, due to human feelings, I couldn't say it directly.
Although he was half-covered with a silk turban at the moment, Li Kuo would never forget that sharp, determined look in his eyes!
Why did he appear in Ashbulai City? Could it be that he has an extraordinary relationship with the Great Cannibal?
"Get out of the way, you untouchable, didn't you see the governor's sedan chair? What about you, you bitch!" An evil servant next to the governor saw Li Kuo stunned on the spot, and whipped him over with a whip.
Only then did Li Kuo react and instinctively dodge to the right. Damn it! He was stunned on the spot. It seemed like there was going to be a fierce fight!
This time the boy went out with his friends so as not to cause trouble, he did not carry a sword with him. Unexpectedly, he was now in trouble. There was no better way at the moment. He could only rely on the rapid movement of his body to avoid the snakes dancing like wild snakes.
whip.
"Bah!" The whip was empty and hit the bluestone road, making a crisp sound. Seeing that Li Kuo had escaped the whip, the evil servant became so angry that he swung the whip several more times.
"Whoosh!" "Whoosh!" The whip made a sharp sound as it streaked through the air. Li Kuo was unarmed and could only dodge passively. The situation was extremely critical. Although Zhang Yanji, Zhou Wuwei and others rushed over desperately, they were blocked by Ashin Bu
The retinue of the governor who came to the city stopped him.
"Whoosh!" Seeing the whip coming towards Li Kuo's face, the Tang knight who had been silent took action angrily.
The full-moon scimitar drew a strange arc, cutting the whip that hit the young man in front of his face into three pieces. No one knew what happened. When the knight put away the sword, everyone noticed only the evil servant's surprise.
face and a whip broken into three pieces.
"Let's go!" What he said was Tang Yan. Although Li Kuo was a little angry, he knew that this was not the time to act impulsively. He quickly turned around and ran towards the foot of the mountain.
"Walk!"
Only then did Zhang Yanji and Zhou Wuwei react and hurriedly followed the young man.
The plain white linen blouse fluttered in the wind, and the silk jacket underneath was faintly visible.
The Tianfang Sect believers on the side discovered that Li Kuo and his party were originally from the Tang Dynasty, and were no longer surprised by their strange behavior.
The incident occurred suddenly, and even the governor did not understand what happened, so the soldiers accompanying him did not mount their horses to pursue it.
The Tang knight kicked off his saddle and jumped off the horse lightly. He walked to the governor's sedan and said something. The governor looked frightened and waved his hands to signal his soldiers not to pursue him and to return home quickly!
After Li Kuo rushed to the foot of the mountain, he and his friends changed another passage and ran towards the south of the city. Their identities had been exposed, and the danger of escaping along the original route was too great. There were people holding scimitars and long swords all over the city.
He doesn't expect everyone to treat him as kindly as the Tang Dynasty cavalry!
The night gradually fell, and the young man was not in the mood to pay attention to the silver-gray grass, the quiet flowing stream at the foot of the mountain, or the long black shadows of the ancient trees beside the stone path.
A snow-white wall covered with vines stood in front of them. Through the moonlight, the young man could clearly see the silvery river at the foot of the mountain. Based on the direction of the river, he judged the approximate location of the sheds in the south of the city!
"Go down from here and run all the way to Nancheng!"
"Turn over here, Brother Kuo'er!"
Zhang Yanji gasped and pointed at the wall, then walked towards the base of the wall first.
Under the melting moonlight, a dark shadow flashed across the wall, and several young men climbed over the wall as lightly as apes.
...
...
"We have to leave Ashbula City immediately!" Li Kuo gathered all his confidants, including Ashina Luoji, to discuss the next step. The chance encounter between the noble district on the top of the mountain and the governor of Ashbula City almost
His identity was exposed, although they were 'boys' employed by the Shule Company and could have been from the Tang Dynasty. But during this sensitive period, he did not want to set off a wave of city-wide searches because of this incident.
Although the ultimatum from Seamis Company has the effect of proof in the popular sense, it does not mean that the Governor cannot doubt their identity. He has no idea whether the Tang man will be detrimental to him. The safest way now is to stay overnight
Out of town!
"My Lord Governor, I live forever, please listen to my advice, old man." Ashina Luoji felt annoyed at Li Kuo's many troubles, but had to work hard to think of countermeasures for him.
"We have a large number of people. If we leave the city overnight, it will not be difficult to take care of the garrison, but it will inevitably alert the guards patrolling the city. By then, even if we have a written ultimatum, we will not be able to tell. Why don't we pack our luggage and wait until tomorrow?
Let’s set out early in the morning. By then, even if we meet the Chief Food Inspector investigating this matter, we will have enough reasons to deal with it!”
The analysis of Ashina Luozha's words is quite pertinent, but...
"How sure are you that the cannibals won't search the city overnight? If they find out our true identity, even if the brothers have three heads and six arms, they won't be able to leave the city in one piece! Oh, are you?
A man-eating spy, deliberately delaying time so you can claim credit from your master?"
In times of crisis, Ashinara's sensitive identity has become the focus of everyone's discussion. Nowadays, there are many Turks who have taken refuge in Dashi. If he passes the news to Dashi behind his back...
Zhang Yanji was having a hard time over this matter, and when he saw Ashinaraji being so 'calm and calm', he became furious and started to question him while lifting up his clothes.
"General, general, let go of me, listen to me, listen to me!" Ashinara was so frightened that his limbs became cold, and he quickly waved his hands to show that he meant no harm.
"Hmph, if you can't tell me, I will treat you as a cannibal spy and behead you to see if you are still here and deceiving others with your lies!"
Zhang Yanji, however, was not polite and issued the ultimatum without saying a word.
"It depends on what you said, it depends on what you said!" Ashinara said with a smile: "Since the generals were not targeted by the cannibals when they came back, they will not find them here for the time being. Even if they are
The city-wide search also started from the noble area on the top of the mountain and reached the bottom of the mountain, also from the north to the south of the city!"
"What's more, we are not just one person and one horse. What we brought from Shule City are hundreds of large boxes on the camels. Although I don't know what is inside, it must be very important. We carry so many
The baggage can't move very fast at all. Even if it leaves the city, it won't take long for the food cavalry to catch up!"
He was right. The structure of Ashbulai City is extremely strange. This city was originally built on the mountain. If you want to conduct a comprehensive search, the best way is to search it from top to bottom. And going down to the foot of the mountain is similar.
Located in a square poor gathering area in Waiguo City in the Central Plains, according to the habit of cannibalism, they must have come along the north of the city. They are not easy to follow, and it is indeed not suitable to leave the city overnight.
After careful analysis, Li Kuo felt relieved.
"What he said is right. Even if the big cannibal really searches the whole city, we will have enough time to evacuate after getting the news!" Li Kuo nodded: "If you are really worried, you can ask Yucheng to send a few brothers to
Even guarding outside the shed."
"The Governor is wise and wise!" Although he cursed this group of trouble-making Tang people in his heart, Ashinara had to put on a smile under the eaves.
"Humph, for brother Kuo'er's sake, I have wrongly blamed you!" Zhang Yanji waved his hand, not wanting to argue with Ashinara again. "It would be great if Big Pie Face is here, even though she has a bad temper.
She is a little bit off, but she knows the way surprisingly well. With her here, we will take all the trails and we will definitely not be discovered by the giant eater!"
"Fuck you!" Pu Dachui cursed with a smile: "Miss Ni has never been to Ashbula City, so how can she possibly understand the path of this generation? Stop complaining, kid!"
"Hehe, hehe. Then everyone, please rest early today. We will set off as soon as the rooster crows tomorrow!" After overcoming the crisis of confidence, Ashinara finally breathed a sigh of relief and suggested with a wry smile.
Why did I get so confused in the first place that I took on this hard job? This group of Tang people were going to Samarkand! They had just arrived at the city of Ashbrei, and they had already caused so much trouble. If they continued walking, there might be something wrong with them on the way.
what happened!
"It's him...it's him!"
Is that person really him?
Li Kuo frowned, his face as dark as water.
...
...
A night of silence.
When the sun rose again, Seamis's "caravan" was already ready to go. Large boxes were tied to the backs of camels again, and some small luggage was neatly packed away.
The city-wide search that Li Kuo and others were worried about did not happen, and everything was as calm as the surface of the Yibo Sea.
"Hehe, let me tell you, the big cannibal will never discover our identity? If nothing else, I, Ashinara, still have some popularity. If you take this route, I will never let you.
....."
After successfully leaving the city of Ashbula, the "caravan" headed towards Julan City according to the established route.
Ashinara's voice also gradually weakened with the fatigue of the journey. No one could guarantee the absolute safety of the journey. No matter they were businessmen or soldiers.
The knight in shining armor, the wooden shield, the large scimitar, and the determined gaze between his brows.
What if the cannibal really didn’t find anything?
Or was it because of him that the governor of Ashbula City was able to get rid of his doubts? What is his identity? Why does he appear in Ashbula City, and why can he change the governor's will on his own?
Accompanied by heavy steps, the lingering camel bells rang again, followed by a roll of yellow sand.
