"Lord Wen, please have the city gates open and allow me to lead the troops out of the city..."
The chief guard clasped his hands together helplessly and pleaded with Prefect Wen.
"No problem." Prefect Wen waved to the yamen runner who had just come to report the news.
"Take them to the city gate and have them let out."
Now that it's dark and there are not many people on the streets, we can walk faster.
After seeing the chief guard follow the yamen runners away, Prefect Wen immediately called the guards in the mansion and asked them to send more people to guard the storehouse and study.
His study is more important than the warehouse. There is so much evidence of beheading in it that it cannot fall into the hands of others.
The most important thing is that there is a darkroom in the study, and that is what needs to be guarded the most...
.......
"Abandon the horse and go up the mountain!"
Shen Yong suddenly heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the city gate in the distance.
These people are chasing us pretty closely.
However, it would take at least an hour for those people to catch up to the foot of the mountain.
In an hour, they had already reached the middle of the mountain.
“Go up the mountain!?”
Zhang Wenyuan looked at Shen Yong in confusion.
He originally felt it was strange to rest at the foot of the mountain instead of at the post station.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yong chose to go through the mountains instead of taking the official road.
Isn't this just looking for trouble?
They had been riding horses for a whole day and had just rested for half an hour when they had to start climbing the mountain again. Even the strongest body could not bear it.
Zhang Wenyuan glanced at the silent women of the Shen family and began to doubt his life.
How can these women endure so much hardship...
Shen Yong glanced at Zhang Wenyuan.
"Lead the horses to the official road and let them go."
As he spoke, Shen Yong took the lead, led the horses to the official road, and patted the horses' buttocks heavily.
The horse raised its head and neighed loudly, then ran towards Baizhang City.
Although the women of the Shen family were also confused, they all followed Shen Yong and patted the horse's butt.
Next, Sun Ren and the officials also patted their horses and let them run towards Baizhang City.
A group of palace guards looked at each other, and helplessly led the horses to the official road and let them go.
More than a hundred horses galloped towards Baizhang City vigorously, raising high clouds of dust.
Chen Yong glanced in the direction of Baizhang City, then turned to look towards the other side of the mountain, in the direction of Wenkou City.
Baizhang City leads to Lingnan, and Wenkou City leads to the northwest.
The Shen family was exiled to Lingnan, and he really wanted to go there.
Lingnan is close to the sea, so there is plenty of seafood to eat, the weather is not too cold, and the land is well cultivated, so a lot of food can be grown.
The weather in the northwest is pretty good, but the land is barren and it is not easy to grow crops.
No matter which city you go to, you can pass through this mountain range in the middle.
"Let's go up the mountain!"
Listening to the sound of horse hooves getting closer and closer, Shen Yong waved his hand and led everyone up the mountain.
This time, Shen Yong took the lead, and the women of the Shen family followed closely behind him.
By the time Chen Yong and his men climbed halfway up the mountain, the leader of the guards had just led his men to the fork in the road.
"Go down and see which way this group of people ran to."
The leader of the guards gave an order to his men.
Before his men could go down to check, the people from the Killer Hall gave the guard leader an impatient look and pointed in the direction of Baizhang City.
"The sound of horse hooves came from Baizhang City. They should be running towards Baizhang City."
The sound of horse hooves sounded scattered, some fast and some slow. It was estimated that the group of people could not run anymore.
The chief guard was slightly stunned and pursed his cracked lips awkwardly.
It's amazing that you have great martial arts skills. You knew where that group of people were going, but you told me earlier.
"Keep chasing!"
The leader of the guards pulled the reins of the horse, raised his foot and gave the tired horse a hard kick, then continued to chase forward with gritted teeth.
Chen Yong stood halfway up the mountain, looking at the people chasing towards Baizhang City, and smiled.
He's quite smart in making a feint to the east and attacking in the west.
Halfway up the mountain is not a suitable place to rest, and lighting a fire will easily attract attention.
He had something important to do in the middle of the night, so it would be better for him to take these people over the hill and find a place to rest.
Once you cross the mountain, no one can see you lighting a fire and barbecuing.
"Mom, are you tired? Let me carry you."
Shen Yong turned his head to look at Old Madam Shen who was panting beside him.
These women have had their bodies modified and are indeed much better than those men.
But I didn't get much rest along the way, so my body was still very tired.
Madam Shen waved her hand. "It's alright. I'll tell you when I can't walk anymore."
It’s not that she is being pretentious, but if she really can’t walk and doesn’t let Lao Qi carry her, she will be a drag.
Now she can still hold on, but her breathing is a little heavy, and she can still use strength in her legs and feet.
Shen Yong nodded and glanced at his sisters-in-law.
"Tell me if you can't climb anymore and I'll carry you up. Don't force yourself."
The sisters-in-law responded vaguely, and all gritted their teeth and followed Shen Yong.
Chen Yong looked at the long line of palace guards and smiled.
The ones chasing him the closest were Zhang Wenyuan and Ji Yongjia, who were at least ten meters away from him.
The team of more than one hundred people stretched to the length of halfway up the mountain. These people must be really exhausted.
Sun Ren and Liu Yi, who had always been friendly with him, now had no idea where they were lagging behind.
Chen Yong was not worried that these people would not follow him. They had all taken poison and would not dare to gamble with their lives.
An hour later, Chen Yong led everyone over the mountain.
"Mother, sisters-in-law, we will rest in this cave tonight."
