Da da da da da!

"call---"

On the official road, Li Li and his four men were wearing straw raincoats and hats. They faced the southeast wind and the hazy drizzle, galloped straight for Shu County.

This is the eighth day after their group entered Yangzhou.

Before this, the four of them went south from Tancheng, Donghai, Xuzhou, and entered Jiujiang County ten days ago, and were under Yuan Shu's rule.

Immediately, with Guo Jia's strong dissuasion, Li Li and his party avoided the official road along the way, did not cause trouble, and did not stop. They rode lightly and quickly rode and headed straight for Lujiang.

Li Li and others encountered heavy rain when they left Tancheng, Xuzhou. They finally survived three rainy days, only five days apart. Unexpectedly, the weather changed again. The south wind suddenly rose last night, and it was drizzling this morning. At noon, the road was already muddy and very difficult to walk.

When it approached Shu County, Lujiang, the rain was getting heavier and the wind and rain were getting worse. As a result, Li Li and his party had to give up the mountain road and walk the official road, hoping to rush to Zhendian ahead as soon as possible to take shelter from the rain and stay in the area.

"Huh wh wh wh wh wh wh wh wh wh!"

In the storm, Li Li and his group had to slow down and drive their horses slowly. Otherwise, they would ride their horses in the face of strong winds and rains, and the war horses could bear it, but people could not bear it!

Xi Yuyu!

With the long roar of the Hualiu horse, Li Li lifted the reins and stopped moving quickly, and finally rode the horse slowly. He wiped the rain on his face casually, and Li Li vomited a deep breath of turbid air, sootheed his breath and calmed his mind. Then he turned his head and looked at Guo Jia, Huan Fei and Li Zhi behind him. Seeing that they were riding their horses and chasing them, they would catch up in a moment.

"Xu——" Shaoqing, Huan Fei and the other two rode their horses and immediately stopped their horses and walked slowly. Guo Jia was in front and joined Li Li.

"Lord, there seem to be too many rainy days in Yangzhou. It rains every now and then, but it has caused us to suffer!" Just like Li Li, after riding slowly, Guo Jia brushed his sleeves and wiped off the rain that covered his eyes, and sighed with deep understanding.

"Hahaha!" Li Li smiled heartily indifferently: "This is God intends to keep us here for a few days. It is hard to refuse our kindness. We can't do it even if we want to stay!"

While speaking, Li Li casually held Guo Jia's hat that was blown by the strong wind on his head and continued, "But it's good to have such a rainy day. We have been traveling for more than 20 days in a row. We should stay here for a few more days and take a rest; otherwise, people will be tired of fighting horses. The weather is beautiful, and it will be raining to keep guests. How can we not appreciate it!"

"Uh!" Unexpectedly, Li Li was so optimistic. Guo Jia was slightly surprised and grinned, "It's still the lord who is open-minded, and he is ashamed. He doesn't have enough skills in qi cultivation, so he still can't hold back his breath!"

Li Li shook his head slightly and smiled, "I've been filial to you. Along the way, you are not impatient, nor are you irritable. Instead, you are too worried about my safety, be careful everywhere, your nerves are always tense and too nervous!"

"Lord, wisely." Seeing that Li Li had known what he was worried about, Guo Jia did not hide it. He immediately nodded and said frankly: "What the lord said is good. This time we went south. Although there was nothing peaceful along the way. Everything went smoothly, my subordinates felt a little uneasy all the way, and they always felt that something was approaching us. This feeling was wonderful, and it was hard to explain, but it always lingers in his heart and could not be gone. My subordinates had never had such an ominous feeling before, and even when they were depressed and unsuccessful under Yuan Shao's tent, there was no such premonition of approaching danger.

Therefore, my subordinates ask the lord to be careful and never act irresponsible, so as not to cause unnecessary trouble.”

"Oh?" Li Li's expression changed slightly. A trace of worry flashed in his eyes, and it flashed in a flash, and was not discovered by Guo Jia.

The ominous premonition that Guo Jia mentioned coincided with what Li Li thought. Since entering Yangzhou, Li Li felt very depressed inexplicably, and his heart seemed to be covered with an indelible shadow. He felt a slight sense of murderous intent that always enveloped his group, following like a shadow, following closely. Over the past few days, this premonition has become increasingly strong, prompting Li Li to feel frightened and an unprecedented sense of crisis lingered in his heart. However, just after entering Shu County this morning, this premonition that made him very uncomfortable suddenly disappeared.

As a military general who has been through the battlefield and is also the commander of the Western Liang Army, Li Li's keen premonition of danger is far above Guo Jia. However, this indescribable premonition of danger cannot be easily expressed because it is unfounded and is just a human instinctive prestimulation reaction, which cannot be explained clearly. Therefore, he has always kept in his heart and did not say that he knew about Guo Jia and others.

However, what Li Li didn't expect was that Guo Jia also had this feeling, and it lasted for many days. This made Li Li feel heavy. Now he was sure that his group was followed, and the stalker hidden in the dark was definitely his enemy, and he was very likely to know his true identity. Otherwise, there would be absolutely no such coincidence in the world, nor would such ominous thoughts have arisen for no reason, so there must be a cause for this matter. The followers who followed him and his group were very skilled in martial arts, good at hiding their actions, and were well versed in the art of stalking. The reason why they have been following until now must be because they are concerned, or they have not found a good opportunity to start. Therefore, they always hide and follow without missing their whereabouts, looking for opportunities to move, so that they will hit the target with one blow.

After quickly sorting out his thoughts, Li Li whispered to Huan Fei behind him. Li Zhi asked, "Feihu, Zicheng, do you feel this way, too?"

Huan Fei nodded with a serious expression, without saying a word, worried that his voice would be too loud and he would startle the snake. So he looked at Li Zhi with his tiger eyes, his eyebrows moved slightly, and signaled to Li Zhi to say.

Li Zhi understood it and immediately whispered to Li Li: "Nine days ago, Mo Jiang and Feihu felt that there were always eyes staring at us behind him. When Feihu and I tried to investigate, we found nothing and found any suspicious signs. These days, this feeling has always existed. These people have always been following us within five miles of us, but they are not close to us. Their movements are extremely mysterious and sneaky, and they must have plans. Along the way, once we find us looking back, they will disappear immediately; when we set off again, they will appear strangely, and follow us at all times, and can't get rid of it.

Yesterday, Feihu and I discussed in private that this matter cannot be delayed and must be resolved as soon as possible. Otherwise, they are in the dark and we are in the light. As time goes by, we will inevitably reveal flaws. When they suddenly attack, it will be difficult for us to ensure the safety of our lord. Therefore, while it is raining, we will find someone to stay as soon as possible, and then Feihu and I come out to find it secretly. Once they find their whereabouts, they will definitely kill them to eliminate future troubles!"

This is the most talked about in the past two years, and it is very clear and detailed. This is really a rare thing for him, a person who cherishes his words. In Li Li's memory, the last time Li Zhi said so many things was when he caught Ma Chao in Dongshankou. He counted it carefully. It has been three years since then.

"Look, lord! There is a village across the river. Judging from the number of houses, there should be more than ten families. How about we stay in this village?" Just as Li Li was thinking, Guo Jia suddenly pulled the corner of his clothes, which could lower his voice and said anxiously.

"Huh?" Li Li was shocked when he heard this, turned his head and looked in the direction Guo Jia pointed. Sure enough, he saw a scattered house, and it seemed that there were several families with good families.

"I really want to do whatever I want. It seems that God still favors me Li Li!"

Li Li raised his eyebrows slightly, pondered, looked at the village intently, and nodded, "This village is located very well, with a mountain back, and there is a river fifty or sixty meters wide in front of it. No one can wade through it except the wooden bridge on the river. This terrain is very beneficial to us. As long as we guard the wooden bridge and the intersection of the back mountain, it will be difficult for these sneaky followers to approach us. This is here, we will go and stay immediately. Regardless of whether the residents in the village are willing to take us in, we will stay here these days until the 'tail' behind us is completely cut off!"

After saying that, Li Li waved his hand, and the four of them immediately rode their horses and waved their whips, left the official road, and turned to the village in the southwest.

After riding on the mountain road for two miles, Li Li and the other two came to the east bank of the river. Looking up, the wooden bridge on the river was already had some thoughts. The wooden bridge was supported by wooden stakes deeply inserted into the river. The bridge was not wide, only five feet wide, covered with thick wooden boards, and there were kudzu ropes on both sides as handrails for pedestrians to cross the river.

At first glance, the wooden bridge looked very solid and should be able to pass by. But for the sake of safety, Li Li and others still turned over and got off the horse, led their horses to the wooden bridge, and slowly walked towards the village opposite the river.

Not long after, except for Li Zhi staying in the hidden area at the bridge and closely observing the movements on the other side, Li Li, Huan Fei and Guo Jia led his mount to the door of the only family in the village, and Guo Jia stepped forward and knocked on the door.

Just now, looking at this village from the distance across the river, Li Li and others thought there were more than a dozen families living here. It was not until they entered the village that they found out that they had misunderstood. This village, which seemed to be a small village, actually only had one family, and it was a large family, with many houses. The main entrance was in the center of the village, facing the wooden bridge, and the dozen houses on both sides were all the wings of this family.

"squeak---"

"What are you knocking on? It's raining so hard, what's the matter with knocking on the door?" With the creaking sound of the mahogany door, a young man in a slanted-necked cloth shirt walked out of it. He was yawning in his mouth and still had eye booze on the corner of his eyes. He seemed to have not woken up. He must have been dozing off with his back against the door frame just now, but was awakened by the knock. Therefore, after he opened the door, his face looked very unhappy and asked Guo Jia, who was standing in front of the door.
