Chapter 19 Encounter

He had to escape. Zheng Anping looked around: It was winter leisure, and there was no trace of people in the fields. No one in the city left the city. If a person suddenly appeared in the fields, it would only attract attention.

"Follow the river ditch and run to the main road; then run along the main road towards the ancient city in the distance. They came from the ancient city. The ancient city is facing away from them. Even if they want to chase, they won't chase too far, otherwise they will miss their mission.

! Just be careful and don’t be discovered by them when passing by the river ditch.”

Zheng Anping's eyes were fixed on the movements of the five people, and his feet slowly moved along the river bank towards the avenue, getting closer and closer to the five people. Then, he stopped moving, even lowered his breathing, and waited quietly.

He watched the five people walk past him and walked towards the hut.

It didn't take long, but it was so long. Every movement and expression of the five people fell in Zheng Anping's eyes and was deeply imprinted in his heart, making his emotions tense and relaxed. When the five people gradually walked away, Zheng Anping

Only then did Anping dare to start again and continue to move along the river bank towards the avenue.

The cold wind of early winter was blowing. Zheng Anping's upper body was wet, and his lower clothes were completely wet, but there was no chill at all. He stared at the five people with his eyes intently, and moved his feet gently to the side, reminding him in his heart: "Steady, steady, sure.

Don't make any noise."

The five people had already approached the hut. Zheng Anping turned around and saw that the road was approaching. He jumped out of the river bank and ran out, faintly feeling a gaze coming from behind him.

He didn't dare to look back or look around, and ran as hard as he could. He saw the road flying past his feet. He ran until he was exhausted and panting like an ox, then he plunged into the grass beside the road and looked back.

.Qin Ruishi did not chase after him. He felt relieved, let go of his senses and looked around, but there was no movement. After completely relaxing, Zheng Anping felt dizzy, his whole body ached, and the cold wind blew, making him feel a little rusty; he wore

Putting on his coat, he then remembered that he didn't have any money for today's salary either.

He silently mourned for himself in his heart: "You, you are a born bad guy! Any trouble will happen to you!" Then he thought about it, "Even with such a big disaster, I haven't lost a hair, right?

Great fortune and great fortune!"

Suddenly, he felt something moving behind him. He turned around and saw dust appearing behind the abandoned city. It was obvious that a large number of troops were coming. Needless to say, this was the Wei army. Do they also want to occupy this abandoned city?

Zheng Anping was so happy that he almost ran out, but then he suppressed his impulse: "Go out now and seek death!" He did not want to admit that he was escaping from the war, and made excuses to himself: "The armor is incomplete, and I have no weapons.

Troop. If anyone knows who you are, you will be taken as a spy. It’s better to wait until the postmen arrive and join the team together!"

He assessed the situation before and after and confirmed that any attack coming from the direction of the city would be discovered by the sentries on the ancient city before approaching him; and he who was hiding in the deep grass would generally not be discovered by the sentries as long as he did not make any big movements.

.This made him feel at peace: "It's just a little colder and a little hungry, just bear with it and it will pass." He quietly turned over and lay down in a slightly more comfortable position. As the sun gradually rose, the chill

Gradually it passed and warmth began to appear. Zheng Anping also gradually fell asleep in this warmth.

The sound of hoofbeats and the rumble of wheels woke him up. A group of soldiers was coming towards this direction. Before Zheng Anping had time to react, his neck was clamped by two halberds.

Zheng Anping shouted: "I am a postman from Chengxi Post, and I came with General Mangshen! I am a postman from Chengxi Post, and I came with General Mangshen!..."

A soldier slapped Zheng Anping on the ribs with the handle of his halberd: "Don't shout! We'll see General Mangshen soon!"

Zheng Anping didn't know whether to be happy or sad. Being able to see Mang Shen immediately, his identity was naturally clarified immediately. But how to explain this outfit? Also, wouldn't his little thought of not wanting to participate in the battle also come to an end?

In any case, it felt uncomfortable to have his neck pinched by the halberd. Zheng Anping stretched his hands to both sides, tried his best to smile, and said: "Brother, relax a little, I will get up and follow you. There is no mistake!"

, and slowly raised his hand.

A man came over from one side and grabbed his hand, and the two halberds moved back. Zheng Anping exerted force on his abdomen and sat up. A corps commander came over and said, "Brother, please be smart and tie a bunch!"

Zheng Anping took off his belt, raised his hands high, and the talisman hidden inside fell from the middle. The two people who came over put his hands behind his back, took off the talisman, and tied Zheng Anping's hands with the belt.

The corporal commander glanced at the Jie Fu and brought Zheng Anping to Mang Shen.

"Qin Ruishi, five!" Zheng Anping whispered to Mang Shen. He had been recognized by Mang Shen before, so he claimed that he had a secret to report before Mang Shen asked.

After hearing Zheng Anping's words, Mang Shen looked at him doubtfully: "How do you know the five Qin Ruisi?"

"We fought with them outside the abandoned city last night, and I shot one of them with a crossbow. Today, one of the five was bad at walking; and they all used swords, so I know." Zheng Anping saw that Mang Shen was still puzzled,

He added: "The team on duty outside the abandoned city last night saw it with their own eyes!"

Mang Shen nodded and said: "Okay, I'll just wait for you. Send the order, and the left companion will spread out in a line of formation and search forward; the right companion will follow up and stop one mile outside the city." Another person was ordered to deliver the message to the postmaster.

The rear army delivers the message.

Zheng Anping, whose hands were still tied upside down, followed with a soldier and his right companion. When the unknown city was in sight in the distance, the sound of rolling cars came from behind. Lord Xinling, Mangmao, and Jin Bi arrived in a car

.

At Mang Shen's command, the right companion stopped and looked around; the left companion continued to search forward; Zheng Anping was taken to the roadside to wait.

Mr. Xinling arrived on a bicycle, with Mang Mao and Jin Bi as the driver and on the right. When the car arrived, it slowly stopped. Mang Shen stepped forward to report something, and then waved to bring Zheng Anping up.

Lord Xinling recognized him at a glance: "Mr. Zheng!" He immediately jumped out of the car and said to Mang Shen: "Mr. Zheng has been working hard both inside and outside the Great Wall at night. I am so lucky to be in the same car with him. I dare you to ask for mercy!"

Seeing Lord Xinling say this, Mang Shen also accepted the favor and went over to loosen the belt that bound Zheng Anping's hands. He also helped him straighten his clothes and tie the belt around his waist again. Zheng Anping straightened his clothes according to the etiquette.

Meeting with Lord Xinling: "I, Zheng Anping, have met Mr. Wei!"

Lord Xinling returned the courtesy and asked, "Master Zheng, you have worked hard! How dare I ask you to teach me!"

Zheng Anping said: "I stayed in the outer room last night. This morning I saw five people on the road, each wearing a Qin sword. They were suspected to be Qin Rui soldiers. They wanted to sneak into the camp to report, but they met the young master here!"

Lord Xinling said: "But have you seen it with your own eyes?"

Zheng Anping said: "Exactly, I walked only ten feet away from my eyes, and I could see very closely!"

Lord Xinling asked: "Where have they gone?"

"When I saw him leaving for the outer room, I didn't dare to stay any longer."

Mang Mao asked: "Where were you at that time?"

"Fetching water by the river."

Mang Mao said to Mang Shen: "Take a group of people and ask for Mr. Zheng's guidance to search along the river! The rest of the people will protect you and rest in the vast area in front, waiting for the arrival of the rear army. If there is any situation, report it to the chariot office."

Mang Shen received the order and led a group of people, led by Zheng Anping, to the small river. Mang Shen said: "Young Master Que Lao leads the way. The right group of people followed the young master down to the river, and the left group of people followed on the bank, thinking that they should be followed.

.”

Zheng Anping knew that he was being used as a stick to scare the snake, but he had no choice but to agree and go down to the river first. This time he was no longer cautious, but instead made a big show of pushing aside the reeds and moving forward hard, shouting from time to time, thinking in his heart:

"These Qin people are spies and they won't reveal their true identity. All I have to do is scare them away and scare them away!" The distance he stood out was very good, which not only ensured that he and the five people behind him would not be singled out, but also ensured that he only had to hold on for one breath.

, you can get rescue: "As long as they can't kill us all with one blow, they will never attack me alone."

At this point in the plan, Zheng Anping became more courageous and acted more bravely without flinching. As he walked, he loudly reported: "There is no one by the river! ... There is no one among the reeds! ... There is no one in the small bend! ..."

In just one cup of tea, Zheng Anping saw the big pot he left by the river: "I found the big earthen pot, and this is it!"

This is where people in the city usually draw water, and the view is quite broad. Mang Shen said: "Stop moving forward!" He went down to the river and asked Zheng Anping: "Where did you see them going?" Zheng Anping pointed to the city.

Mang Shen looked at the hut on the side, then returned to the shore, looked around, and then said to Shi Chang: "Reply to the general and say that we have searched the place where Mr. Zheng found the Qin people. The Qin people

Entered a hut ahead. Please take next step!"

The commander took the order and left. Mang Shen ordered, "Stay on alert and rest!"

Ten people, including Zheng Anping, formed a large circle and sat facing outward. Mang Shen sat next to Zheng Anping, chatting away.

After another cup of tea, Shi Chang returned and said: "The general has an order. We will continue to search along the river bank for two or three miles. The general will send another group into the hut to search. After the search is completed, we will go to the flag to hand over the order!"
