Chapter 90: Chapter Ninety: Designing to escape from the pursuit
Seeing Zhang Liang sitting next to him, the coachman showed a reassuring expression on his exhausted face, slowly closed his eyes, fell towards Zhang Liang, and completely fell into a coma.

Zhang Liang supported the coachman, leaned over to check the coachman's body, trying to find out the crux of the coachman's coma, when Zhang Liang saw a bloodstain on the coachman's right chest, he was shocked instantly, and quickly stretched out his hand towards the coachman's chest Gently probing the wound, Zhang Liang felt the touch of a broken arrow from his fingertips. Only then did Zhang Liang understand the reason why the coachman called him to drive. Obviously, the arrow on the coachman's chest was shot when he lifted the cart just now. middle.

In order not to worry Zhang Liang, the coachman broke the arrow stuck in his body abruptly, and drove the carriage desperately away from the pursuit of Ji Pu and others. wound, and the bumps along the road aggravated the coachman's injury.

At this moment, there was still blood bubbling from the coachman's wound, and soon soaked the coarse blouse on the coachman's body.Zhang Liang looked at the coachman sadly, held the coachman into his arms, and slowly picked up the coachman and put him into the carriage.

Looking at the coachman in a coma, Zhang Liang was in a mess. Now the coachman fell into a coma, and there were Ji Pu and others chasing after him, which made Zhang Liang feel anxious and fell into a dilemma for a while;
It was still eighty miles away from Chen County, and the coachman was so badly injured that he obviously couldn't stand the bumps. If he wanted to save the coachman's life, he couldn't drive fast. on yourself.

Just as Zhang Liang was thinking hard about the timing of his escape, a fork appeared in front of the road. The main road led to Chen County, while the other forked road led to Dang County.

"Call..."

Zhang Lianghe stopped the slow-moving carriage, jumped out of the carriage, and observed at the fork in the road.

After observing the fork in the road, Zhang Liang immediately returned to the carriage, and drove the carriage towards Chen Jun. After galloping along the direction of Chen Jun for two or three miles, Zhang Liang stopped suddenly, and drove the carriage into the side of the road. In a forest, the carriage was hidden in a thick bush.

After hiding the carriage, Zhang Liang broke another branch from the tree beside him, gently brushed away the ruts in the forest, then turned back to the carriage and hid.

After a long while, five or six fast horses galloped past Zhang Liang's eyes. It was the thieves who were chasing him. Because Zhang Liang hid it so well, Ji Pu and others did not find Zhang Liang's car hidden in the forest.

After those people rode away, Zhang Liang tied a tree branch on the left and right behind the carriage, and then drove the carriage out of the woods where he was hiding, and returned along the same route just now. Zhang Liang drove the carriage away. After dozens of steps, he stopped the carriage, got out of the carriage and checked along the route he had just taken. It was obvious that the branches tied behind the carriage had worked, successfully erasing the rut marks left by him.

In order to mislead the thieves chasing him as much as possible, Zhang Liang drove as far as possible to the right when returning to the side road, trying not to touch the ruts left by himself when he came, because in this way, even if Zhang Liang returned from the original road, there was still only one rut on the road Yin, the thieves chasing him couldn't guess Zhang Liang's whereabouts for a while.

After driving the carriage to the previous fork, Zhang Liang drove the carriage towards Dangjun without hesitation, and slowly drove towards Dangjun.

Seeing that he was out of danger, Zhang Liang felt relieved, and found a hidden place to bandage the driver's wound.

After briefly treating the coachman's wound, Zhang Liang drove the carriage and set off again, heading straight for Dangjun.

……

After Ji Pu and the others chased for ten miles, one of them noticed something was wrong, so he quickly stopped his horse.

Seeing that his brother stopped suddenly, Ji Pu and the others had no choice but to stop after reining in their horses.

"Brother, something's wrong. We're rushing on our way. There are no new ruts on the ground."

After hearing what his brother said, Ji Pu carefully inspected the avenue under his feet. Except for some intermittent ruts, there were no traces of new ruts.

Ever since the rut marks were detected extending towards Chen Jun at that fork, Ji Pu and the others judged that Zhang Liang had fled to Chen Jun, and then chased him along the road leading to Chen Jun. , They have chased ten miles from the fork in the road.If it wasn't for their brothers who found out that something was wrong, they would have foolishly continued to chase.

So Ji Pu and the others turned their horses' heads and chased back along the way they came. When they chased outside the woods where Zhang Liang was hiding before, they found the ruts left by Zhang Liang.

"Brother, this is where the ruts disappeared. Could Zhang Liang's thief be hiding here?"

"Brothers, follow me into the woods."

As Ji Pu said that, he jumped off the horse, tied the horse to a big tree, went into the woods first, and searched carefully.

After searching the woods carefully, Ji Pu and the others found nothing, so they left the woods and came to the path beside the woods.

"Brother, there is a situation."

Just as Kip was about to leave the woods, a brother called out eagerly.

When Ji Pu rushed over, the brother pointed to a broken branch of an elm tree and said to Ji Pu: "Look, brother."

There were two broken branches on the elm tree, and the cuts were very neat. It was obvious that the two branches had been cut off with a sharp knife.

Looking at the cut on the elm tree, Ji Pu frowned, racking her brains to guess Zhang Liang's intention to cut down the branches. Leaving the woods in embarrassment, he searched for Zhang Liang's trace again.

There is only one rut on the road in front of him, which means that Zhang Liang's carriage has indeed arrived here, but why he can't find it anymore, it is possible that the carriage flew away from here.

Ji Pu and the others had no choice but to search for the fork leading to Dang County. Unfortunately, they didn't find any clues.

Within half an hour, Ji Pu and the others had already searched the roads near the fork. Unfortunately, the effort was in vain, and there was no trace of Zhang Liang's car at all.

Just when Ji Pu and the others were about to give up, several people from the direction of Dangjun passed by Ji Pu and the others.

"Brother Yan, this is the first time I've seen someone hanging and dragging branches behind the carriage. It's really strange."

"Isn't it, me too, the driver is also a weird person, with a face, as if someone owes their family a few and a half taels."

……

After hearing what these passers-by were chatting about, Ji Pu and the others looked at each other in blank dismay. It was obvious that the strange person the two brothers were talking about was probably Zhang Liang.

So Ji Pu hurriedly stopped several people who were on their way, and asked them about the car they said and the person who drove it.

Through the descriptions of several passers-by, Ji Pu concluded that the man was Zhang Liang who was hunted down by him.

"I understand Zhang Liang's dog thief's intention to cut down the branches," said a brother of Ji Pu suddenly realized.

"Now you understand what's the use, get on your horse quickly, it's important to chase and kill Zhang Liang."

Ji Pu glanced at the brother speechlessly, then urged.

After a while, Ji Pu and the others set off again and chased towards Dang County.
