Chapter 239 The Last Level

As night fell, a certain camp of the Dingbei Army was brightly lit and crowded with people.

The people pushing the carts lined up in a long line with their families leading their mouths. After being checked by the soldiers one by one, they headed north.

Different from the big camp of the normal army, the northern camp of the Dingbei Army has 200 people as a small camp, with [-] cavalry and [-] infantry.There is a camp every ten miles, and the cavalry patrols between the camps.Everyone passing through the camp was questioned.It feels like it exists entirely to catch people.

Shen Yuexi stopped an old man with a cigarette pouch in the team far away from the Dingbei Army to ask.

"Old man, where are you going?"

The old man bent his back, raised his head and looked at Shen Yuexi.

Shen Yuexi has already dressed up as a girl from a poor family, wearing coarse clothes, wrapping a big turban, painting her face, and carrying a basket.

"Isn't the girl a local?" The old man beat his back with one hand, raised his pipe and pointed to the dark mountains to the west, "We all belong to Zhang Wu. I heard that the battle was over, and we came out of the mountains."

A man dressed as a farmer carrying a burden next to him interjected, "Uncle Wang, I heard that King Qi is not bad?"

The old man coughed twice, and said: "Whoever is the emperor is not right, as long as you don't keep fighting. Even if you hide in the mountains, there are bandits who take advantage of the fire. It's better to be in the city, where there are county offices and fast arresters, so you don't have to worry about it all day long. "

The man was still talking, but a woman in front turned around and shouted, "Sir, don't dawdle, after passing this checkpoint, we will arrive at Zhangwu in the middle of the night."

After inquiring about the news, Shen Yuexi was elated, bid farewell to the old man, and ran to the rear of the team.

In the team, Qiang Lin covered his head and face with dense blood-stained cloth, only his eyes and nose were exposed, and he was driving a flat cart pulled by three horses with ropes.Xiao Zhuo was lying on the car upright, with a broken straw mat covering his face.Two women, Shen Lan and Xia Lan, were sitting beside the cart, dressed in sackcloth and filial piety.

These outfits were arranged by Shen Yuexi.

Qiang Lin is from Xirong, as long as the soldiers are not blind, they can tell at a glance.So wrap his head up.Xiao Zhuo's aura was too strong and eye-catching, it was difficult for the soldiers not to pay attention, so he could only be wronged to pretend to be a dead man.

Shen Lan and the others pretended to be Xiao Zhuo's elder sister and third younger sister.Qiang Lin is the second younger brother.

Xia Lan was puzzled at first: "Why don't you let me be a maid, I've always been doing this."

"Our family is too poor to afford it." Shen Yuexi explained.

Returning to the crowd, Shen Yuexi said to Shen Lan: "Sister, I asked, after passing the checkpoint, you will be able to reach Zhangwu in the middle of the night. This is the last checkpoint."

Relying on these costumes, they have already passed a level, as long as they pass the level in front of them, they will be considered successful escape.

Just in case, everyone agreed that if they got separated on the way, they would meet up in Xiaogang Village.

The team squirmed forward and was about to reach them.

"Next one, hurry up." A cavalry captain of the Dingbei Army shouted impatiently.

"Cry, everyone cry." Shen Yuexi poked Shen Lan with her finger and reminded in a low voice.

Shen Lan didn't need to brew emotions, she was already sad.Shen Yuexi had just finished speaking, but she was already crying mournfully.

Xia Lan closed her eyes for a while, and found that she couldn't cry, so she pinched herself secretly, and tears immediately fell down.

Seeing that both of them were crying, Shen Yuexi began to think about the sad things by herself.Her identity is still the lady lying in the car.The husband is gone, how can the madam be indifferent.

It's strange, obviously the first stage was crying quite smoothly.Why can't you cry right now?

She didn't believe it, and while she was struggling there, a man's voice suddenly sounded in her ear:

"My lady, what are you doing with your eyes closed?"

Shen Yuexi quickly opened her eyes, only to realize that it was their turn.The person who asked the question was the captain who urged everyone just now.

"Ah... I'm... I'm praying to God, let my husband come back to life." Shen Yuexi touched the straw mat covering Xiao Zhuo's face, "My husband is gone, I have become a widow at such a young age .”

After she finished speaking, Shen Lan burst into tears.

The captain looked at Shen Lan with some puzzlement, then turned to Shen Yuexi: "This man is dead? Then you are all his wives?"

According to his experience, the one who cried the most should be the regular wife, and the one next to her who cried silently looked like a concubine.As for the one in front of him who didn't even shed tears, he must be the one with the lowest status, otherwise he wouldn't cry.

"Our family encountered bandits," Shen Yuexi sighed, "my brother's head was chopped off several times... my sister's hand was also cut off, my sister and I were the only ones who were not injured, we hurried back to Zhang Wu Find a doctor."

When the captain heard it, he dared to guess wrong.He said: "You are really pitiful, but we are ordered to search for the repeat criminal Xiao Zhuo, I want to check one by one."

"Look at it if you want." Shen Yuexi jumped out of the car and stood aside.

The captain first came to Qiang Lin who was driving, held up the torch and looked up and down, and said to Qiang Lin, "Take off the cloth covering the head."

The three women at the side almost simultaneously suspended their hearts, even Shen Lan couldn't care less about crying.

Although Qiang Lin was not the one that the Dingbei Army wanted to hunt down, once his identity as a Xirong was revealed, he would definitely be detained.Naturally, they couldn't escape.

Qiang Lin put down the flatbed cart calmly, raised his hand to untie the cloth in circles, and according to Shen Yuexi's instructions, he began to untie it from the mouth, and when the scar inside was exposed, the captain shook his head and said: "Don't untie it, cut it all off." Now that it’s done, go to the city and find a doctor.”

Shen Yuexi secretly glanced at Shen Lan who was beside her, and saw that Shen Lan was nervously staring at Xiao Zhuo who was lying on the car.

The next step is the difficulty, if Xiao Zhuo can't hide it, it will be over.

The lieutenant returned to the flatbed, holding a torch, and was about to get closer.Shen Yuexi said: "My lord, I would like to remind you that my husband may have a bit of a smell...don't confuse you."

Hearing Shen Yuexi's reminder, the captain originally planned to lift the straw mat with his hands, but instead pulled out a knife and picked up a corner of the straw mat with the tip of the knife.

As soon as I picked it up, a few flies buzzed out of it.

Shen Yuexi deliberately got some horse blood and smeared it on Xiao Zhuo's face and neck, just to attract mosquitoes.I also made some horse manure and tied it under the flat plate, so that the smell will be stronger, but I feel wronged that Xiao Zhuo has to endure the stench all the way.

The captain was so smoked that he could only cover his nose, and glanced carelessly at Xiao Zhuo under the straw mat.

It was dark, Xiao Zhuo's face was smeared with blood, and a circle of beard stuck to his chin.He glanced at it hastily, drew the knife, waved his hand and said, "Go over quickly."

"Let's go." Shen Yuexi quickly signaled Qiang Lin to drive.

After passing the checkpoint smoothly, Shen Yuexi was relieved.I can't wait to drive away and run far away.But if there is a commotion, it may attract people's attention, so I have to walk slowly with the ranks of the people.

After walking for a few miles, there was a sudden commotion behind.A group of cavalry in the distance, about a hundred people, held torches and galloped up to catch up. They shouted loudly: "Where is the family who died just now, please stop quickly."

The people on the road didn't know what happened and panicked.

Shen Yuexi was taken aback, why did the other party catch up suddenly?

It turned out that the school lieutenant let Shen Yuexi and the others go, and remembered something that he thought was weird just now.That is the three horses pulling the cart.

Ordinary people don't use three horse-drawn carts.And more importantly, the three horses were not horses pulling carts at first glance.As a cavalry lieutenant, he is very familiar with horses. He thought of the maroon horse among the three horses, which was obviously a good war horse.

He immediately led the cavalry to chase them out.

"Husband, what should we do?" Shen Yuexi panicked, and the development of the matter exceeded her expectations.

Seeing the opponent's cavalry chasing, if it was only her and Xiao Zhuoqiang Lin, there would be no problem at all, the three of them are all top-notch in riding skills.But Shen Lan can't ride a horse, and Xia Lan can only ride a horse.There is simply no escape.

"I'll lure them away, you go to Xiaogang Village first," Xiao Zhuo jumped up from the straw mat, jumped on a horse, swung his sword to cut off the rope pulling the cart, and shouted to the pursuers: " Xiao Zhuo is here!"

The school lieutenant who led his troops to chase was overjoyed, and shouted to his subordinates: "Catch Xiao Zhuo, and you will be proud of your ancestors in this life..."

Before he finished speaking, the cavalrymen under him chased Xiao Zhuo chaotically.Everyone knew that Xiao Zhuo was the most important thing, and the other women were not important at all.

Seeing that the cavalry were all chasing Xiao Zhuo, Qiang Lin quickly waved his whip and shouted to Shen Yuexi: "Master, let's go quickly."

"No, you go," Shen Yuexi jumped out of the carriage and jumped onto the maroon horse, "Qiang Lin, cut the rope."

Qiang Lin knew that she was going to chase Xiao Zhuo, but time was running out and it was too late to persuade him, so he had to cut off the rope with a knife.

Shen Yuexi hurriedly galloped to chase Xiao Zhuo.

Her riding skills are already extremely superb, and the claret war horse she was sitting on was a gift from Ji Zhong at the beginning, her leg strength is much stronger than that of ordinary war horses, and she caught up with Xiao Zhuo after galloping with all her strength.

"Husband, I'm here."
