Chapter 157
Shen Yulan was startled, and subconsciously clenched Huoxiang's arm.

Huoxiang patted her back comfortingly, smiled at the man: "My poor man, my sister is sick, and I need to see the doctor overnight."

The handlebar style also echoed outside: "Yes, old man, I will take my two granddaughters to the city, and I really dare not delay. This illness waits for no one."

Fortunately, the other party didn't seem to have any malicious intentions, and after a few routine inquiries, he let him go.

He drove the car with the handlebars, and continued to move forward unhurriedly.Shen Yulan quietly raised the curtain of the car and looked at it for a few moments. Seeing that it was a small group of troops, she was startled and asked in a low voice, "What's wrong?"

Huoxiang also lowered her voice: "I heard it's a routine inspection, and it's said to be from bandits."

"Are you watching?" Shen Yulan asked again.

"It's not like." Huo Xiang shook her head: "Every carriage is inspected, but those men who ride horses are not inspected."

Shen Yulan pondered for a moment, and her heart sank immediately - instead of checking the man on the horse, she only checked the carriage...

"Uncle, how far is it to the town?" Shen Yulan asked the handlebar in a low voice.

The handlebar style estimated; "The effort of a cup of tea."

"Then please hurry up." Shen Yulan urged.Then he thanked in a low voice: "Thank you for your words and explanations. When you enter the town, there will be a big thank you."

He took a puff of tobacco on the handlebars, and sighed: "These people don't know where they came from. If you two girls don't know where they came from, I don't know what will happen if you let them take it with you. Thank you very much. That's enough, we've earned so much money, that's enough." Those soldiers are all year-round mingling with men, if any dirty thoughts come up, then these two juicy girls will be ruined.

Shen Yulan naturally understood the meaning of the handlebar style, and thanked him solemnly.I couldn't help but sigh in my heart - in fact, the more powerful and rich a person is, the less clean his heart is.But on the contrary, these poor people are mostly honest and good people.

Huoxiang also had this sigh, and Shen Yulan quietly said to him; "When we return to the capital, Missy, let someone come over and help this family."

"Well," Shen Yulan actually thought so in her heart.As long as she survives this catastrophe, she will definitely thank those who have helped her.

"Huoxiang, I feel something is wrong. Tell me, are those people coming to look for us?" Shen Yulan lowered her voice and whispered to Huoxiang.

Huoxiang was stunned, with a look of fear on her face, but she couldn't make up her mind: "I don't know either. But this is the army, and I can't use it privately—"

"If you dare to do something harmful to morality like burning temples, pretending to be an army, why not dare. Moreover, even if it is an army, it may be someone's private soldier." Shen Yulan sneered, boldly assuming .It wasn't that she was guarded, or that she was worrying unfoundedly, but that the cruel reality forced her not to do so.She was scared, really scared.In such a situation, it is right to be cautious.

Huoxiang stopped talking, but asked Shen Yulan with her eyes: "What should I do?"

Shen Yulan thought for a while, "After entering the town, let the handlebars find a place to rest by themselves, and we will ride back to the capital overnight."

Huoxiang frowned: "But your body——"

Shen Yulan naturally knew that Huo Xiang was worried that she would not be able to hold on, but at this time, if she couldn't hold on, she had to hold on.So he shook his head immediately: "It's okay, I'm sure I can hold on."

Huoxiang no longer objected - Shen Yulan was right, if those people just came for them, then it would not be safe in the town.So, I have to go back to the capital.If we start now, we can reach the capital tomorrow morning.After returning to the capital, naturally no one can threaten Shen Yulan anymore.Moreover, the marriage can also be in time.Although the day after tomorrow is the day and Shen Yulan is sick again, as long as she is there, everything is easy to talk about.On the contrary, if you can't go back...

Huoxiang gritted her teeth: I have to hurry back no matter what!
Under the fear of Shen Yulan and Huo Xiang, the carriage finally entered the town safely.

As soon as he entered the town, Shen Yulan jumped out of the carriage, took out a piece of 20 taels of silver, and stuffed it directly into the handlebar: "This is the fare. Find a secluded place to hide. If someone asks us, you Say directly that you were coerced by us. It means that we gave you poison. If you don’t cooperate, we won’t give you the antidote, so you can only cooperate. If you get involved this time, we are sorry for you Yes. After I return to the capital, I will definitely send someone back. At most, it will not exceed tomorrow night."

The handlebar style may have been guessed a long time ago, so I was not surprised. Instead, I nodded: "I will go directly to my eldest son's house, and they are in the town. But you - if you go to the capital, go through for a while, Go forward along the road, turn over a high slope, and you will be the official road."

Shen Yulan nodded and got on the horse: "Okay, thank you very much." After saying this, she clamped the horse's belly and urged the horse to run.

There was no delay in the handlebars, and he hurriedly drove the carriage to his eldest son's house quietly.

But at this time, the place where the checkpoint was just set up for inspection, felt that something was wrong—the leader called the person who checked Shen Yulan's carriage just now, and questioned carefully; "Can you see clearly? How can I Do you feel something is wrong? Are there two women sitting in the carriage? What do they look like? Does it look like the portrait in the portrait?"

When the inspector was asked this question, he naturally became a little uneasy, and his tone was not so sure: "It's dark, and I can't see it too clearly. The sitting one doesn't look like that, but the other one is sick, I just look at it." Half of her face was covered. She is indeed ill, I think the handlebar style is indeed the appearance of the local people, but I didn’t pay much attention—”

"Go look at the portrait again, and think about it carefully. If it looks like it, if you're not sure—it's better to kill by mistake than let it go. This is an order from above." The leader had a fierce and tyrannical expression on his face.

The inspector looked at the portrait and felt that it was somewhat similar, but he was not sure.At this moment, he suddenly remembered—"No, the carriage brought a total of three horses, one of which is obviously an old horse, and the breed is not very good. But the other two are all good horses! And There are almost all of them in our army!"

The leader suddenly changed his color: "It must be the person the higher-ups are looking for! Ordinary people, how can they afford such a horse? Come on, let's catch up!"

And not long after Shen Yulan and the others left, those people behind chased after them. After circling around the town, they quickly divided into two groups, one of which was chasing along the road, and the other was at the entrance of the town. Searching the town——

After Shen Yulan and the others left the town, they just let the horse run - to be honest, five miles is actually not far away.But Shen Yulan knew in her heart that it would be easier for the other party to catch up - their horses had been on the road for several days, and their physical strength and endurance could not keep up with those people.Moreover, they are not very skilled in horseback riding, so naturally they are not as good as those people.After summarizing all kinds of things, they came to the conclusion that if they catch up, they will be catching a turtle in the urn.

Shen Yulan sighed, and kept praying in her heart.

Soon at the high slope of the handlebars, Shen Yulan looked back subconsciously at the top of the slope, and her heart tensed up: on the road ahead, there are several fire points that are approaching quickly. come over!Obviously, someone is catching up!And at this time, the only person Shen Yulan could think of was the group of people who were interrogated just now!

"Miss, look, what is that—" Huo Xiang suddenly exclaimed.

Shen Yulan also turned her head when she heard the words, and looked in the direction Huoxiang was looking at - she was also shocked immediately.

A magnificent star river composed of torches is winding forward on the official road.At this time, you can only see the head, and you can't see the end at all.Such a magnificent sight is really shocking.

Shen Yulan thought for a while, and suddenly cheered up: "It's the army! It's a regular army! We're saved!" As he spoke, his eyes almost moistened with ecstasy.

After Huoxiang heard the words, after a severe shock, her eyes suddenly became moist, and she cried out with joy.

Shen Yulan glanced back, and in just this short amount of time, the pursuers got a little closer.Shen Yulan also said to Huo Xiang: "Let's run quickly, it seems that the road is only more than one mile away, if we run down, we will be saved."

Huoxiang nodded, and then both of them gave the horse a hard thwack - the horse immediately galloped in pain.

Shen Yulan stared closely at the bright river of lights, her heart was beating wildly, her palms and vest were all wet.

However, the pursuers who came later were even faster - Shen Yulan only heard someone shouting loudly from behind: "Stop, if you don't stop, we will shoot arrows!"

Her heart tightened, but Shen Yulan slammed her backhand again, and the horse quickened its pace again.This is Shen Yulan's answer.How could she stop at this moment?How can I stop?The days of hard work and fear were about to end, and she also had a chance to go back for revenge, how could she give up?Even if it is to survive, you must not stop at this moment!

Shen Yulan gripped the rein tightly, enduring the jolt that was about to fall, but gritted her teeth, pulled the hairpin off her head, and stabbed the horse's ass with a ruthless heart.

The horse suffered from pain, neighed in pain, and ran forward in fright, almost dying.

Shen Yulan watched the approaching lights closely, and silently calculated the distance in her heart - 200 meters, 190 meters, 180, 150...

At the same time, Shen Yulan shouted even louder; "Help—help—"

Shen Yulan's voice naturally alarmed the team below.

However, before Shen Yulan could respond, he felt the horse under his crotch suddenly tilted to the side, and immediately fell down with the horse and the people——

Shen Yulan only felt that all the bones in her body were broken at this moment.The horse was almost on her right leg.She couldn't break free at all—

The severe pain caused her whole head to feel dizzy—but she still didn't cry out for the pain, and only continued to call for help loudly.
