I won't do the task of traveling quickly

Chapter 144 Punish the World (7)

In the following days, in order to reach the border as soon as possible, the four of Wang Gang urged the prisoners almost day and night.

Everyone is simply miserable.And the further north one goes, the more desolate the surroundings become, and the hotter the sun becomes.Coupled with the poor food provided by the jailers, many people fell ill.

Even so, the jailers didn't care at all.They are just thinking about business now, so how can they care about the life and death of prisoners.

On this day, everyone finally arrived at a location not far from their destination.The scenery here was different from before. They could even see a forest in the distance.

At noon, the sun here may be more intense due to the higher altitude.When Wang Gang saw that several prisoners had fainted, he was afraid of death after all, so he ordered him to rest where he was.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

While resting, there was a sound of horseshoes in the distance.And the voice was getting closer and closer, and sometimes there were faint human voices.

Wang Gang was startled when he heard the voice. Although he had never escorted prisoners before, he had heard about it from experienced officials.

There is nothing to worry about on the way to the frontier.Ordinary people can only flatter officials when they see officials, and they will not ask for trouble.

Even those robbing robbers, they don't like the oil and water of these prisoners, they might as well go to rob the darts if they have that skill.

But one thing you must pay attention to is that if you encounter Beiyao people at the border, you must leave quickly.

Although today's Yuan and Zhongqi are in an alliance, Bei Yao dare not do evil in the city.But this border is almost a place of no concern, so they have nothing to worry about.

Once a team of prisoners is encountered, the jailers will undoubtedly be killed, and the prisoners will be taken back to be slaves.

Before he could think too much, a group of cavalry in military uniforms appeared in the distance.All of them had whips in their hands, and they laughed and shouted when they saw the team ahead.

"Quick, run." After roaring, Wang Gang took the lead and fled to the front, and the other three also took the soft bag and followed behind him.

Although the prisoners didn't know why, as soon as the jailer left, they scattered like headless flies.

He Yu had already unlocked the lock when Wang Gang looked wrong, and now she also dragged Cao Fang into the woods.

The group of cavalry did not pursue the prisoners, but went directly towards several jailers.It also gave others a little respite.

Even so, the shackles and anklets hindered their progress.Especially the anklet makes noise when running.

Sure enough, although they tried their best to run as far as they could, they still heard the sound of horseshoes behind them.

As the voice gradually got closer, Cao Fang suddenly shouted: "Be careful."

Then she threw He Yu to the ground.

He Yu was still a little confused. She turned around and saw the blood on Cao Fang's clothes and the arrow on her chest.

"you……"

She quickly helped her up, and carefully hid in a bush.

"Persevere. When those people leave, I will take you to see a doctor."

Cao Fang shook her head when she heard the words, and she said with some difficulty: "Remember you asked me why I was imprisoned?"

After He Yu nodded, she continued: "I was originally the daughter of a wealthy businessman in the capital. Once I went out, Wei Yang, the son of the eunuch Wei Yan, fell in love with me. Naturally, I refused, so he wanted to force me. It happened that I When my father and mother came home and saw it, they killed him by mistake. Then Wei Yan contrived to seize my family's property, and executed my entire family."

Cao Fang spat out a mouthful of blood, and continued: "Fortunately, my father's friend helped him, but he was limited in his abilities, and he only saved me. In order to hide the truth, we exchanged a prisoner from this prison to escape Wei Yan's investigation. He said that the only way to get revenge is to live, so I have lived my life so far. But now I..."

She suddenly grabbed He Yu's hand firmly: "Caiyue, can you promise me one thing?"

"You said."

"I don't want to get blood right now, I just want to kill Wei Yan and avenge my parents."

"Ding, side mission. Please accept Cao Fang's request and avenge her."

He Yu was taken aback when she heard the words, but even if there was no systematic task, she would agree.Because Cao Fang was shot by the arrow to save herself.

So she nodded solemnly.

Cao Fang groped around for a while, and took out a small purse.

"There is a jade pendant inside. Take it and go to the imperial city to look for Jing Zhaoyin, Mr. Zhou Kezhou, he will help."

He Yu took the purse and said solemnly: "Okay, I will."

Cao Fang twitched her mouth when she heard this, and finally closed her eyes with a smile.

"Host, what should we do now?"

"Wait first, wait until they leave."

After some time, the sun was already close to the horizon, and the sky gradually darkened.

Until the sound of horseshoes could no longer be heard, He Yu buried Cao Fang's body in the woods, and finally bowed deeply.

She got up and carefully returned to the original road, walking as far as possible to the thick grass to cover her tracks.

Finally we reached the place where we rested before.It is quiet here now, it seems that the group of cavalry has left with the prisoner.

There were only a few people lying on the ground, and they were Wang Gang and the others.At this time, these people have been shot into sieves by bows and arrows, and they can't die anymore.

He Yu also noticed that their packages had been opened, and the money had been taken away.There were only some clothes scattered on the ground.Some were spattered with blood, others had been destroyed.She rummaged for a while before she managed to collect a few clean and intact sets.

Then she clasped her hands together, said "Don't blame it", and rummaged through the corpse for a while, but found a few broken pieces of silver.

After doing all this, He Yu stood there blankly, a little at a loss.

The original owner had a family and children, so it was conceivable that most of the tasks she entrusted were in Yunyang County.

Even so.But first, she promised Cao Fang to avenge her.Secondly, she is still a prisoner of the imperial court, so it is not appropriate to go back now.

So she finally decided to set off for the imperial city.

He Yu didn't dare to stay here any longer, so she changed into a set of clean clothes and began to walk by the moonlight.

Although she can't tell the direction very well, she has also heard that the place with dense leaves faces south, while the other side faces north.That's how I barely figured out where I was.

They had gone northwest before, but the imperial city seemed to be in the east.

Just rest and walk like this, the sky is already bright.He Yu was thirsty and hungry now, and couldn't hold on any longer.She saw smoke from the kitchen in the distance, and her eyes suddenly lit up.

At this time, the morning light was dim, and several women were busy in front of the yard.They were all wearing embroidered long gowns, which were a bit like cheongsams, with trousers of the same style underneath.

A few children are also playing and playing around, and this place is full of quiet and peace.

"Excuse me." He Yu walked into a courtyard and asked embarrassedly, "Can I change something to eat?"

The woman in front of her had a gentle face. Even though she saw someone dressed as a man, she still had a smile on her face.

"Yes, is the guest from far away?"

He Yu nodded and said: "I came here to play, but I was separated from my family. Now I am really tired and hungry."

A regretful smile appeared on the woman's face upon hearing this.

She patted He Yu's shoulder gently to express comfort: "Please come with me."
