There are three roads leading out of Taizhou, the one to the west being the closest to the capital.
"Lord Song split his troops into two groups, one heading due west and the other staying in Taizhou."
Su Yan pointed to the northeast, which is the opposite direction from due west. Taking this route back to Beijing is a bit more roundabout, but it is safer the further north you go.
Ye Panjiu nodded and put away the map. "My lords, if we are captured, just tell them we came from the southwest. Life is the most important thing. Don't fight them head-on."
Song Yanzhi opened his mouth, wanting to say that he would never reveal the two of them.
Su Yan bowed to the group and said, "Thank you all for seeing me off. I hope we meet again someday. Take care."
Song Yanzhi and the others quickly returned the greeting, saying, "Lord Su, you are too kind."
Su Yan lifted Ye Panjiu up by the waist with one arm, saying, "Hold on tight."
Ye Panjiu quickly wrapped her arms around his neck.
The wind whistled past his ears as Su Yan leaped into the air, his feet touching the treetops.
Song Yanzhi and the others looked up at the two people's backs, their mouths agape.
"Prime Minister Su's skills..."
"I thought that flying knife was going to kill us. It glided past my feet like a fish..." a burly man said, still shaken.
"Nonsense! Our Lord Su never kills innocent people indiscriminately. Your life is safe!"
Song Yanzhi felt his heart beating very fast, and his face turned slightly red with excitement.
He finally met Su Yan!
This is the role model he has always admired!
His role model certainly didn't disappoint him.
Ye Panjiu buried her head in his chest, "Shall we go buy two horses now?"
"Yes," Su Yan replied simply.
You can see more clearly from a higher vantage point.
It's just dawn, the horse market definitely hasn't opened yet.
Su Yan looked around and chose a large inn.
The situation is urgent, and there is no time to buy more horses.
"Pan Jiu, what's the price for two horses?"
Ye Panjiu took out seventy taels and placed them in the stable, saying, "This should be enough."
The two then mounted their horses and rode away quickly.
The people inside the house heard the sound of horses' hooves and ran out in surprise to see what was happening.
He only saw the backs of two people, chased after them for a while but couldn't catch up, and angrily put his hands on his hips and yelled, "Stop right there!"
"That's my horse! The horse I worked so hard to buy!"
"What is all this happening! Why am I so unlucky!"
I hadn't even eaten yet, and after running around like this, plus all that cursing, I felt dizzy.
He had no choice but to lean against the wall and walk back.
He looked at the stables and rubbed his eyes in disbelief.
He immediately rushed over and picked up the shiny silver ingot from the ground.
"I'm rich! What a kind person! My two horses aren't worth that much! Oh my, what a great person!"
This money is enough for him to buy two more young horses; his two horses are not young anymore.
Two black horses rode side by side through the unfamiliar roads of Taizhou City.
After Ye Panjiu transmigrated, she rode horses a lot, and her riding skills became more and more proficient. She was able to keep up with Su Yan's speed and not fall behind.
Su Yanyu kept a close eye on Ye Panjiu, a feeling completely different from when he was traveling with Yan Yu.
As soon as the two stepped out of the city gate of Taizhou, a sound came from the gate.
"Close the door immediately! No one is allowed to leave!"
Ye Panjiu flicked the reins, and the horse ran even faster.
It seems they have caught up; the Wang family's orders are truly effective in the vast Jiangnan region.
Wherever he went, officials all submitted to him.
But the sound of the city gates closing never came.
Ye Panjiu frowned; something was not right.
"Yangzhou is in chaos," Su Yan's voice came.
Ye Panjiu paused for a moment, then "no one will catch up with us anymore."
Su Yan smiled and said, "The pursuers are gone, but the road ahead is not smooth."
Jiang Le'an is too involved; even if he enters the capital, he may not be able to enter the palace smoothly.
"Let's go to the capital first. The imperial sword can be used to mobilize the army."
Ye Panjiu nodded and followed, and the two hurried on their way.
The capital region office was located in the suburbs of the capital, which was in the direction of Taizhou.
Ye Panjiu bought some dried biscuits on the way, and the two of them ate them while riding their horses.
I rode non-stop for a whole day, from sunrise to sunset, until the stars filled the sky.
"brush--"
Dozens of arrows flew in from the shadows.
Su Yan swiftly leaped into the air and positioned himself behind Ye Panjiu, surrounded by plum blossom throwing knives that knocked down several flying arrows.
"Don't look back, keep riding, I'm here."
Su Yan tried his best to keep his voice down.
Ye Panjiu pursed her lips, then whipped her horse and urged it on.
Don't be afraid, don't be afraid.
"kill!"
A group of men in black suddenly appeared all around, numbering more than a dozen!
Amidst the flashing blades and clashing arrows, a palpable sense of impending doom filled the air.
Su Yan took the imperial sword from his waist and handed it to Ye Panjiu, saying, "Take this sword and execute first, then report to the emperor!"
After saying that, he leaped off his horse, and flying knives pierced his flesh one after another.
Ye Panjiu gripped her sword tightly with one hand, placed the bundle on her back in front of her, and cracked her whip even faster.
She ignored the fighting around her, focusing solely on riding forward.
Faster, faster!
If she were to lose focus or slow down at this moment, she would truly have no way out.
A quarter of an hour later, Su Yan, his white clothes stained with blood and his face splattered with blood, landed behind Ye Panjiu and wrapped one arm around her waist.
"I'm fine."
The horse was bouncing back and forth, and we were only half an hour away from reaching the capital.
Su Yan remained silent behind her, seemingly motionless.
Ye Panjiu was in a state of confusion, but she dared not delay riding her horse for even a moment.
"Brothers, charge! Today it's either you die or I die!"
A powerful voice rang out, making Ye Panjiu's ears hurt.
This voice is clearly extraordinary; the person must be highly skilled in martial arts.
