Wei Ba was startled, and resisted the urge to turn around, calmly retracted his steps, and continued walking eastward. He believed in Dunwu's vigilance, and it was precisely because of Dunwu's ability that his father Wei Yan
Let Dunwu follow.
Following behind him, Wei Ba's first thought was that he might have been exposed, or at least someone noticed him. Otherwise, with his inconspicuous false identity, no one would take him seriously. The three kingdoms were separated and surrendered to each other.
There is also a lot of income. In addition to those generals who have families and families, ordinary soldiers will work for you today and for them tomorrow. Unless you intend to inquire about military secrets, there will be no income.
I care about you too much.
So Wei Ba is a little confused now. I have always been very honest in Chang'an City, staying in the post house and not showing up at all. How could anyone notice me? If Jin Dongliu betrayed me, then it is not stalking now.
I am afraid that hundreds of people will surround me and bring me directly to Xiahou Mao.
So what does it mean to compete? Did I show any flaws?
Wei Ba thought so hard that he never thought that the beautiful girl he saw at the city gate was eyeing him, and conveyed his question to Xiahou Mao through Princess Qinghe. The reason why he was not arrested immediately was because he was out of sight.
for more complex reasons.
Wei Ba did not dare to be careless and followed the route specified in the road biography, all the way out of Chang'an City and rushed eastward to Luoyang. Wei Ba walked for two days and saw that he was about to reach Tongguan in front of him, but the tail behind him never left. He
He couldn't help but become a little anxious. If these people refused to leave, how could he check the topography of Tongguan? When the other party saw his move, they would definitely become suspicious, and at least they would arrest him as a spy.
"Dunwu, it seems we have been exposed." While sitting on the roadside drinking water and eating Qianliang, Wei Ba said to Dunwu: "Can you see a few tails, let's get rid of them?"
Dunwu lowered his head and chewed slowly, his voice low enough that only Wei Ba could hear. "It's not clear yet, but since the other party can follow so far, they must have some confidence. Even if we can deal with them, we will be exposed.
We're all in the same shape."
Wei Ba had a headache. Of course he knew this. Once they were tracked and disappeared, their superiors would soon receive the news and then order their arrest. With his and Dunwu's skills, of course they wouldn't
He would be caught by them, but in that case, this mission would not be completed. Without his officially recognized identity and without a road pass, he would have no choice but to become a fugitive and escape back to Hanzhong.
"Go through Tongguan first. If they still follow, deal with them in Hedong." Seeing Wei Ba's hesitation, Dunwu quickly made up his mind. "If Hedong is not under the responsibility of the Guanzhong Governor, they may not be willing to follow. If they do, they may not follow."
, we get rid of them, and it will take time for them to exchange official documents, so we have more time to go back and explore Tongguan."
Wei Ba thought for a while and had no choice but to implement this plan. After resting for a while, they set off again and entered the western foot of Huashan Mountain. This was already the boundary of Hongnong County and was not under the jurisdiction of the Guanzhong Governor. If the other party still followed, then
Things are a bit troublesome.
Just when Wei Ba was nervous, the two people dressed as merchants who had been dressing him from a distance stopped and looked at the two figures who were about to disappear in the distance. One of them took off the bamboo hat on his head and said:
Fanning the wind, he said: "Xiao Tou, do you think we should continue to follow? We have followed for more than two hundred miles, and there is nothing unusual at all."
Xiao Tou also took off his bamboo hat, revealing an ordinary face. He glanced at the distance, and he was a little hesitant. "I said, the general's order is a bit strange. If it is said that these two people have something to do with each other,
The question is, just arrest them, why do you want us to follow them?"
Pi Erding, the old man, was a gangster in Chang'an City. Later, because of the difficult life, he joined the Anxi General's Mansion to do a detailed job because he was familiar with the terrain near Chang'an City, had a wide range of connections, and had some courage.
His immediate boss was Xiao Junhou, named Xiao Nuo. After receiving the order from General Anxi this time, Xiao Nuo did not dare to neglect, and personally brought Pi Erding to follow him, always thinking of catching a big fish.
, accomplish a great feat, and get more reward money, so that I can go home and make two new clothes for my mother-in-law and children. Unexpectedly, I followed them for more than two hundred miles, but there was no abnormal reaction at all. Seeing that the other party was about to leave the Jingzhao area,
Entering Hongnong County, he also hesitated.
The waist card he holds allows him to enter Hongnong County, but he can only go as an ordinary person. Unlike in Jingzhao Yin, he can live and eat for free in the inns along the way. If necessary, he can also use his waist card.
, requiring the pavilion chief to cooperate.
Xiao Nuo thought about it for a long time: "I'm sorry, this matter was told by General Anxi. I can't make a decision. There must be someone following me. I'll rush back to ask for instructions. You continue to follow."
Pi Erding rolled his eyes: "Then you have to reimburse me for the money I spent eating in Hongnong."
Xiao Nuo patted his chest: "Of course, when did I, Xiao Nuo, mistreat my brothers?"
Pi Erding snorted: "Xiao Tou, it's not that I don't listen to what I say. You didn't treat the brothers badly. You reimbursed them according to the standard every time. But it's not like you didn't know that the food money was enough.
Is that so? General Anxi used the pretext of preparing the army for war, and all the food was taken away by him. The food was priced at the same price every time, but the reimbursement for us was still based on the standard a few years ago, which was not even half enough. You, Lao Xiao, are not willing to give it to your brothers.
Reaction: If you go on an errand, you have to pay for the trip. Do you think other than me, who else is willing to go out with you?"
Xiao Nuo blushed, and then said seriously: "Old fart, I didn't tell you, how do you know I didn't say it? I said it, but the superiors don't nod, what can I do? You also know that General Anxi is here, he can
Give me an extra penny? I'm just like you, money is tight. Otherwise, I would take the initiative to carry out this task with you. I saw that this task was a bit greasy, so I fought for it so that I could grow old with you.
Let's make a small fortune together. Who would have thought that these two people would have no problems at all."
Pi Erding remained silent. He waved his hand: "You go and report quickly, I will follow. I have agreed that if you don't follow within a day, I will turn back on my own."
"Okay, okay." Xiao Nuo agreed, turned around and left. Turning around, a smug smile flashed across his face. He didn't want to enter Hongnong County either. As Pi Erding said, cross-border missions
The subsidy is too small and uneconomical, and whoever takes it will be unlucky. Just let Pi Erding do this kind of thing. He is here to make a fortune, and he doesn't want to suffer this loss.
Behind a huge boulder in the distance, Wei Ba and Dun Wu looked at the two tails in the distance and saw one turned back and the other continued to follow. Wei Ba breathed a sigh of relief. He believed that the other party had not found any flaws yet, and soon
He might not continue to follow. As long as these two tails left, he could check out the terrain of Tongguan as planned.
Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, Dunwu suddenly pulled him gently. Just as Wei Ba was about to turn his head, Dunwu said softly: "Don't look back, be careful, someone seems to be treating us like fat sheep."
Wei Ba was surprised. "Fat sheep" is a slang term for bandits. People's livelihood is unstable these days, and many people fall into the trap of bandits. This is the only way from Chang'an to Luoyang. There are many merchants coming and going, and naturally there are many bandits. But I
I didn’t bring any luggage, and I was dressed as a poor person. How could someone be looking at me?
"Go further into the mountains and deal with them." Dunwu said calmly. Wei Ba responded, and they left the road, pretending to be respectful, and walked into the mountains. Pi Erding followed far behind.
As soon as I saw them leaving the main road, I became excited. Suddenly I made a mark on the roadside and hurried over.
When it comes to walking on mountain roads, who else is better than Wei Ba, who has just walked the mountain road for a month? As for Dun Wu, let alone Dun Wu, he is a real tiger once he enters the mountains. Although Pi Erding is familiar with the terrain, his speed is
Far from being as fast as them, the target was soon lost.
Shaking off their tails, Wei Ba and Dun Wu walked to an intersection, suddenly jumped up, and disappeared between the intertwined boulders like two lithe civet cats.
Those who were watching in the dark obviously did not expect that Wei Ba and Dun Wu would react like this. They instinctively stood up from their hiding places, rushed over shouting, and headed in the direction where Wei Ba and Dun Wu disappeared.
Chase after.
Wei Ba dodged among the rocks, quickly found a huge stone, and stood with his back against the huge stone. Looking at the robbers who came in a hurry, dressed in ragged clothes and with dirty faces, he was angry and funny. It was these people who were angry.
I don't know how thick the land is, thinking that there are many people, so they dare to rob him and Dun Wu, two masters. What's funny is that these people are really pitiful. Not only are they dressed in rags, but they are also very inappropriate. Some of them even wear
These are women's clothes, they look gaudy and very ridiculous.
What reassured him was that these people didn't have any good weapons, except for a few ring knives, two iron halberds, a few bows and arrows made by themselves, and their weapons were average. They probably had been in this business for some time, and each one
He was quite agile and his cooperation was tacit. As soon as he saw him standing with his back against the boulder, he immediately formed a semicircle and carefully surrounded him.
"My lords, it seems that there is no point in robbing me, right?" Wei Baqian smiled and spread his hands, "You see, I have nothing, only a pair of clothes, and I am only a day old, no better than you.
How much less."
"Although you don't have much wealth, you have a good body." A tall middle-aged man separated from the crowd and walked to stand in front of Wei Ba. He pointed at Wei Ba with a broken knife and made two gestures: "
If you save a little more, you can deal with it for two years."
Wei Ba was so frightened that he thought that these people were not robbing money, but robbing meat. How could he want to eat it in such a short time? Do you think I am a barbecued pork bun?
Wei Ba was no longer in the mood to pretend, and sneered: "It turns out that you are some beasts to be eaten, so I'm really sorry for you today. If you want to eat me, you have to show some skills first."
The middle-aged man laughed, shook the knife in his hand, and was about to say a few wild words when two screams suddenly came from the rocks. Wei Ba knew that this was Dunwu's move, and took advantage of the middle-aged man's separation.
With some divine kung fu, he rushed forward fiercely, punched like a spear, and struck down the killer with great pain.
