Su Ci quickly looked back and saw that the situation over there was not very bad, so she quickly pushed and shoved the guy behind a bush.
Su Ci lowered her voice and gritted her teeth: "What are you doing here?!"
This guy still looked happy, "I'll pick you up!"
Pick up your mother!
Su Ci had not had much contact with this person and her understanding of him was very limited, but she was still clear about his identity. This guy's surname is Ji and his given name is Chengtan. He is the distant nephew and adopted son of the Fourth Prince. Moreover, his brother is the Fourth Prince's confidant and holds a very high position in the Fourth Prince's Mansion.
Among the nine most powerful members of the royal family who died one after another, some gossipers outside ranked these nobles according to their seniority and age. The deeds of each of them could almost fill a book. People talked about them enthusiastically in the teahouse, and gradually, people in the court began to refer to them in this way, which was concise and clear.
Yang Yanzong’s master is the Sixth Prince’s eldest son. In other words, both the Su and Yang families are his subordinates. Now the Sixth King and the Fourth King and the Seventh King are fighting each other to the death with sparks flying. Both sides are absolute political enemies, and both are eager to kill each other at the next moment. It can be said that they are clearly divided and incompatible.
Su Ci didn't know what the original owner was thinking, but she left her in a huge trouble.
There are ten pots and nine lids, but no matter how many lids you cover, they are still not enough.
The handsome face of the young man was sunburned red. He held Su Ci's hand with a happy expression and explained hurriedly: "At the end of last month, I heard my brother say that the drought in Hanzhou and Qizhou was getting worse and I was afraid that it would be bad. I came here specially to pick you up!"
In fact, he was thinking about Su Ci and tried every means to eavesdrop on her. He was very worried after hearing the news, so he found an excuse to go out and sneaked out, and then hurried to the military town.
He does have good intentions, and he doesn't seem to be heartless or ungrateful, and he just wants to play with people. But I don't know if he has ever thought about whether this relationship has any possibility of having a future given the hostility between the two parties. And what will the girl do if it is accidentally exposed?
Su Ci was so annoyed with him that she shook his hand off: "Why are you leaving?!"
"My father, mother and sister are all here. Where should I go?"
Su Ci really wanted to smash this guy's head, but she was afraid that he would yell or cause trouble later.
No, we have to dispel this guy's idea once and for all!
At the very least, he can't cause her any more problems during this migration!
She thought for a moment and said, "It's easy for me to go with you, but will your family agree with us?"
So it is not appropriate to say cruel words now. You still have to use both soft and hard methods, focusing on comforting. Su Ci kept her eyes on Su Yan and the camp, and seeing that the situation had been initially under control, she felt relieved and quickly pushed the people inward so that the firelight could not illuminate the two of them at all. Time was running out, so they had to fight quickly and make a quick decision.
Ji Chengtan was stunned. He had never really thought about this. He just said, "I'll tell my brother when I get home!"
You must not do that. Su Ci quickly adjusted her expression, pretending to be sad and heartbroken and shook her head: "But, but my family has already arranged a marriage for me..."
Su Ci didn't say anything serious, but just laid the groundwork for the other party and paved the way for the future breakup. Ji Chengtan was really shocked: "What? Engagement! Then..."
Su Ci quickly comforted him: "Don't worry, my parents mentioned this before, but in this situation, they definitely can't take care of it."
"Let's talk about this after we get out, but don't come to see me, in case someone finds out..."
Ji Chengtan immediately assured: "Don't worry, I'll be back soon!"
Before he came, he had never thought the disaster would be so serious. He originally planned to follow Su Ci and leave the military town to seek refuge. But the situation was like this now, Su Ci refused to go with him, and more importantly, the main force was also suffering from severe food and water shortages, and the situation was not much better. He suppressed his anxiety when he heard that Su Ci was going to get engaged, weighed the pros and cons, and finally had no objection.
Su Ci breathed a sigh of relief. Oh my god, I finally got rid of this guy temporarily!
But before she could be happy for more than a second, Ji Chengtan smiled at her and whispered, "You are the one who can get water and food, right?"
As soon as Su Ci was done, she wanted to chase this man away, but Ji Chengtan didn't think so. The young couple hadn't seen each other for a long time, and now they were going to be separated again, so they must seize the time to express their thoughts and feelings to each other. His handsome eyes and smile had a soft glow, but the words he said made Su Ci drop her jaw!
Ji Chengtan looked surprised and proud, and looked at Su Ci with sparkling eyes, "I have seen the splint in Yang Yanzong and your father's hands once in Qingshi Town."
Ji Chengtan was surprised and delighted.
When Su Ci was secretly sent away by her father at the beginning of the year, Ji Chengtan came to find her privately once. It was also that time that stimulated some dormant memories in Su Ci's mind and discovered this big trouble.
She was so annoyed at the time that she quickly chased the man away with just a few words.
The excuse Su Ci gave at the time was that her sister was worried and the two sisters were together every day and were afraid of being discovered. This was not an excuse. At the time, the two sisters lived outside with a strong servant, and the town was in chaos. Su Yan kept a close eye on her.
Ji Chengtan didn't dare to look for her again, but was reluctant to leave, so he stayed in the small inn diagonally opposite for a few days. This is something Su Ci didn't know.
Ji Chengtan waited in the lobby of the inn for several days, but he didn't see the Su sisters, but he saw their neighbors.
The Su Ci sisters had just encountered a robbery a few days ago. Fortunately, their loyal servant was quite skilled and the sisters had established good relationships with their neighbors in advance so everyone helped each other. The refugees were driven away as soon as they entered the first house at the entrance of the alley.
The neighbor boy's arm was seriously injured, so she stitched it to stop the bleeding and put on a splint.
When Ji Chengtan saw the familiar splint in Yang Yanzong's and Su Di's hands, he guessed that it was Su Ci's work.
Once you guess this, the rest will not be difficult.
Liang Shen analyzed that it must be the girls from the Su family and immediately took targeted action. Ji Chengtan was in the large group and these movements could not be hidden from him. He almost immediately thought of Su Ci.
Su Ci: “…”
"I'm not, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" She got angry, lowered her voice and denied it three times in a row.
But she reacted very quickly. As soon as she opened her mouth, she realized that her reaction was a bit too much. Her eyes widened for a moment, but she immediately adjusted herself. Her tone changed a few times, and she looked at him in surprise, very puzzled: "What nonsense are you talking about? How is this possible?"
Ji Chengtan smiled at her, gave her a look that said, "Do you still want to hide it from me?", and quickly whispered to comfort her, "Don't worry, I haven't told anyone else."
He was not stupid, so of course he would not tell Liang Shen. He even did not dare to tell his trusted followers a word, for fear that the news would leak out and be known to Liang Shen.
He was a little worried: "The drought is too widespread. Pingzhou is not much different from here. Liang Shen must catch that man. You must be careful."
Su Ci stroked his bangs and didn't know what to say for a moment. He was looking at this guy, how did he know that? Just as I was feeling upset, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps rushing towards me. It was Su Yan!
As soon as Su Yan finished dealing with that side, she immediately turned around and ran over. She spotted a bit of dark red clothing corners with her sharp eyes, and quickly pushed Lin Yichu to signal him to turn back and stand guard, and she rushed over in two steps at a time!
Su Yan was furious: "I'm warning you, don't come here!"
"Who told you to look for my sister? Are you looking for death by lying to my sister? Huh?!"
Su Yan gritted her teeth, grabbed the other person's collar, and wished she could poke eight or ten holes in this guy! How dare you lie to her sister! But the camp outside had already repelled the sudden attack of the enemy and was about to move. Some people were already looking for them. She didn't dare to say anything more: "Go! Don't come looking for my sister again, or I will kill you!!"
Su Yan lowered her voice and turned around while pushing anxiously. Ji Chengtan also saw the people and quickly stepped back, while taking the time to whisper to Su Ci: "I will think of a way and come back to pick you up. You have to persuade your parents to stay!"
"Are you looking for death..."
Su Ci hurriedly warned: "Don't tell anyone else, not a single word!"
Mixed with Su Yan's angry curse, Ji Chengtan nodded vigorously: "Don't worry!"
Absolutely not!
…
Su Ci didn't tell him whether she was reassured or not, but she was definitely not reassured.
The two sisters pushed and shoved each other and temporarily dealt with Ji Chengtan. Then they quickly turned around and went back with Lin Yichu and the soldiers who were looking for him.
Picking up Bu Jia and running back quickly, Su Yan whispered anxiously: "Why are you still thinking about associating with this person?!"
"No, I didn't!"
Su Ci quickly explained: "This won't happen overnight. We have to stabilize him first. He won't come to me until he agrees to go out."
Su Yan breathed a sigh of relief. That was not bad. Su Ci whispered, "I have given him a heads up that my family is going to arrange a marriage for me. I will break it off after I get out."
But the biggest trouble now is not this, but that Ji Chengtan actually guessed that it was her who was looking for water and food!
How could that be? Su Ci was really puzzled. How did this person guess it? This is her skill, not the original owner's. There is no possibility that the original owner would leak it, and she has hardly ever had any contact with this person!
But it doesn’t matter what Ji Chengtan guessed now. What matters is that Su Ci saw from his expression and tone that he was quite confident.
So Su Ci did not continue to deny it at that time, but took the opportunity to ask him to keep the secret.
She weighed the pros and cons and felt that the possibility of the other party keeping the secret was quite high. After all, he had kept it for so long. However, she could not feel at ease if such an important secret was known by a stranger.
Su Ci thought about it for a moment and hurried to find A Kang.
In Yang Yanzong's absence, Akang stayed behind to lead the team, but his other important task was to protect Su Ci.
Su Ci immediately went to find him, "These past two days, I always felt like someone was watching me."
Akang frowned immediately, and glanced around immediately. Seeing that the people who were following him were looking around calmly and no one was paying attention to them, he withdrew his gaze.
"I see."
But it shouldn't be like this. A Kang frowned and said quickly, "I'll assign a few more people to your team. I'll report when the master comes back. Be careful."
"If there is anything wrong, speak up immediately."
"Um."
Su Ci probably knew what he was thinking, but she couldn't tell him the specific reason. She couldn't say that she had cheated on Yang Yanzong, because if she did that, she would be doomed.
However, the reminder and warning given to Akang were also in place.
At this time, she missed Yang Yanzong especially. Although this man was scary, it was undeniable that it would make her feel more at ease to have him making decisions in this situation.
Su Ci Mahei returned to Su Yan. As there was an injury, it was most appropriate to make personnel adjustments. Su Ci's team soon got two new people. They were short and stocky, but very agile. They could run for half the night without stopping and did not even take a breath. They were all good fighters.
Akang couldn't get over because he was too big. He had an ordinary look, and it wasn't that Yang Yanzong had deliberately chosen his trusted soldiers this way. Akang and Azhao both had looks that you couldn't find in a crowd of people. Unfortunately, there are too few people here now. Even if Akang has an ordinary face, he will become an obvious target, so he doesn't dare to get too close.
After running for half the night, Su Yan panted and looked around, then pulled Su Ci a little further inside, and finally felt relieved.
"Wait a moment, the eldest master will be back soon."
Everything will be much better after Akang reports to Yang Yanzong, as well as to my father.
It must be said that although Su Yan was also very scared of Yang Yanzong, he was indeed a stabilizing force in the hearts of the two families.
Su Yan fanned Su Ci vigorously: "I asked A Kang, they should be back in the middle of the night."
…
But who knew that before we returned in the second half of the night, the accident happened again.
Ji Chengtan is too young.
Liang Shen certainly knew the purpose of his coming here. Liang Shen and Zhang Mou had a strong control over the team. In addition, Ji Chengtan was such a big target, and he had been missing for such a long time, so someone must have known about it.
Ji Chengtan had just returned to the main force, sat down, opened the water bag and took a sip of water when Liang Shen came over.
Liang Shen has eagle eyes and a hooked nose. People with too much blood on their bodies have a very murderous aura. Even though he looks friendly and smiling at the moment, he does not look like a good person. As soon as he saw Su Ci, the other party came over suddenly, and Ji Chengtan subconsciously became nervous.
"Second Master, are you back?"
Liang Shen patted Ji Chengtan's shoulder and asked with a smile, "How is your little girl?"
"good."
Liang Shen nodded without surprise: "Yeah, at least they have water and food over there, which is much better than us."
The water shortage here was extremely severe, and they had already started killing horses. If they could not catch that man, they would have to go into the mountains as Yang Yanzong wished.
"Your little girl must know who is looking for water and food? Did she tell you?"
Although after repeated observations, it was confirmed that it was Su Rong who was looking for water and food, Liang Shen, who was naturally suspicious, still retained some doubts.
Liang Shen's smile disappeared, his eyes suddenly became sharp, and while asking the question, he stared at Ji Chengtan with an eagle-like gaze.
Ji Chengtan was still too young. When this question came out, his heart reflexively contracted and his pupils quickly contracted and expanded: "No, I didn't ask. Time was too tight. I didn't have time to ask this."
Even though Ji Chengtan tried his best to remain calm and quickly answered the question pretending not to care, his instant reaction was still clearly seen by Liang Shen.
He is nervous.
When he mentioned this person who was good at finding water and food, he became subconsciously nervous.
Liang Shen curled his lips into a smile, patted Ji Chengtan's shoulder under his nervous gaze, and then stood up.
…
In the second half of the night, when it was still dark, the camp had already started moving. After a short rest for an hour, they set off to the east to meet Yang Yanzong.
After rinsing their mouths with a few sips of water and not washing their faces, the two sisters went to urinate together. After experiencing Ji Chengtan, they didn't care about the embarrassment anymore. They didn't even run out of the camp. They just went behind a big tree at the edge and asked Lin Yichu to help block them and relieved themselves on the spot.
But even so, trouble still came.
A text message wrapped in a small stone was thrown in front of Su Ci with a "pa" sound. The stone rolled and the text message written with charcoal on the hand-torn underwear was spread out in front of her.
The letter was written by Ji Chengtan, and his tone was hurried and full of joy. He said that the situation had changed and his brother had sent someone to pick her up. They had just arrived and had enough food, water and dry food, and could even bring her sisters along.
Tell Su Ci to come quickly, come now, he is waiting outside, they will leave soon!
“…”
He was aiming!
The two sisters looked at each other, Su Yan started cursing, picked up the letter and was about to rush out, but was grabbed by Su Ci.
Su Ci took the letter. She had seen Ji Chengtan's handwriting before, quite a few of them, including love letters. She had burned them all. Although they were from the original owner and not her, it didn't matter. Unfortunately, it is now charcoal and has little reference value.
She looked up at the direction where the stone was thrown. It was dark, with dead grass and short trees. It was completely dark ten meters away.
Su Ci quickly pulled Su Yan around and handed the letter to A Kang.
She said someone threw it to her sister.
——The letter did not name anyone. In this extraordinary period, Su Yan has to take the blame first. Anyway, A Kang would never leak the information to others to damage Su Yan's reputation.
When Akang unfolded it, his expression changed drastically!
With a gesture, the entire camp moved quickly. All the luggage except the water bags and weapons were thrown down. Everyone suddenly stood up and rushed to the left and right!
While running in the dark night, Su Ci looked back and saw that a large patch of grass in that direction suddenly moved, and elite soldiers like wolves and tigers pounced out!
Su Ci pressed the cloth helmet, grabbed a handful of dirt and rubbed it hard on his face, then was grabbed by Su Yan and ran forward.
The two sisters ran after the short and skinny soldiers, blending in with the darkness and being completely inconspicuous. But as they ran, Su Ci suddenly stopped, and then a strong force pushed them back, and Lin Yichu drew out his long sword! Immediately afterwards, a fierce battle broke out.
The two skilled soldiers pulled the Su Ci sisters and rolled into the dark grass on the side. They pulled away Su Yan's hand that was tightly holding Su Ci's hand. It was safer to separate from Su Ci now. The two of them held Su Ci on the left and right and quickly climbed up. They crouched down and sneaked in the grass for a while, rushed out of the chaos, and ran out!
Su Ci understood it very well, so she cooperated by letting go of Su Yan's hand, and using the strength of both of them, she ran forward as fast as she could.
Someone is chasing after us!
Oh no.
As soon as Su Ci saw it, she knew something must have gone wrong and she had been exposed.
He was aiming at Ji Chengtan!
Men are really unreliable! !
A slope appeared in front, and someone shot arrows from behind, and there was a whistling sound of sharp weapons cutting through the air! The two men with Su Ci had to let go, draw out their long swords and turn around to block.
Su Ci threw herself with all her might and rolled down the slope. She was very clever and groped around with her hands. One hand grabbed a handful of soil and the other hand touched a stone. Two people rushed down to grab her. She rolled to the bottom with a look of panic on her face, but she raised one hand quickly and threw a handful of soil into the other person's eyes!
The two men closed their eyes in pain, and she jumped up and quickly dived into the bushes.
The people behind quickly opened their eyes, and seven or eight footsteps hurriedly caught up. In the darkness, Su Ci lay still, and with a flick of his wrist, the large stone was thrown to the other side with a slight "click" sound.
The seven or eight people immediately chased in that direction.
Su Ci curled her lips, snorted, and quickly pushed away the grass.
Her feint to the east and attacking in the west was almost successful.
However, Liang Shen came in person this time.
With a glance of his sharp eagle eyes, he saw that the seven or eight people had chased for dozens of meters, but they still hadn't caught up with a weak woman?
Su Ci had successfully rushed out of the bushes, and was about to dive into the half-dead lush woods when she ducked down. Suddenly, there was a sound of wind behind her, and she was pulled. A hand as big as a palm-leaf fan hooked and grabbed her throat like an eagle's claw.
Su Ci: “…”
She raised her hand and slowly retreated from the bushes. The tall general with hawk-like eyes in front of her was none other than Liang Shen!
