Chapter 414 This pit has to be stepped on
Su Quan exclaimed, "Master, you want to wear his clothes?"
"Don't talk nonsense, or people will see through you."
Su Quan opened his mouth and after a while he turned around and went into the inner room.
Even though he was Su Qian's bodyguard, he was still resistant to such clothes from the bottom of his heart.
Not to mention that they were stripped off a dead person, even if the old man was still alive, one could smell a foul odor from the clothes even from eight feet away.
Now is the critical moment of escape, I can only endure it.
Su Quan pinched his nose and stripped the old man's clothes off.
It was tattered and smelled bad, and it also smelled of psychological death.
Su Qian was straightforward. He took off his clothes, reached out to take the torn clothes and put them on.
She wiped her face with dust twice more, let her hair down, and tied it up again in a messy style.
"Su Quan, let's go our separate ways. There's a Xiangshu Village thirty miles outside the city. Remember?"
Su Quan nodded quickly: "I remember, Master."
"Well, let's meet there."
The two of them had made up their minds, and Su Qian stopped talking and turned to walk out of the house.
Su Qian picked up a branch in the corner of the yard and folded it to make a walking stick.
As soon as he walked out of the alley, he leaned on his crutch and walked tremblingly towards the city gate.
The place where they were hiding was not far from the city gate.
When Su Qian arrived at the city gate, he saw many people walking out of the city, and he felt a lot more at ease.
Following a few civilians, Su Qian moved out step by step.
The tall city gate in front of us was once used for entry and exit by people on horseback, without even having to look at the soldiers guarding the city.
Now, Su Qian stared at the gun-wielding soldiers nervously, afraid that they would notice him.
When it was his turn to leave the city gate, a soldier looked Su Qian up and down.
He could smell a sour odor from a distance away from Su Qian and asked with a frown.
"Hey, where are you going?"
Su Qian lowered his voice and coughed twice.
"I'm going to get some wild vegetables outside the city. There's nothing left to eat... cough cough."
The soldier looked at the sky and said: "It's getting dark, let's go tomorrow."
Su Qian shuddered and thought to himself, if I stay in the city, can I live until tomorrow?
"There's nothing left to eat, Master Jun."
The soldiers were unable to provide him with food and had to wave their hands.
"let's go."
Su Qian was secretly happy and breathed a sigh of relief.
He leaned on a crutch and moved out of the city gate step by step.
He looked at the sky outside and found it much more pleasing to the eye than usual. The air was filled with freshness and freedom.
Su Qian moved forward all the way. He couldn't walk faster as it seemed as if there were soldiers staring at him from behind.
After finally moving away from the city gate, he straightened his back and let out a long breath.
He turned his head and glanced at the tall city gate tower.
"Qin Fang, you little brat, have bullied me too much. One day, I will definitely pay you back."
He vented his anger, turned around and strode forward.
It’s a thirty-mile journey, and we’ll almost arrive before dark.
Su Quan had already arrived at Xiangshu Village earlier and was leaning over a broken wall, looking towards the provincial capital.
Most of the people leaving the city walk in this direction, because passing by here, Ziyuan County is ahead.
Su Quan waited anxiously until it was getting dark, and finally saw an old man in tattered clothes staggering down the official road and walking towards the dilapidated village.
Su Qian really couldn't walk anymore. Even though it was only thirty miles, it was still a long distance for him, a high-ranking official who had been riding a horse or a sedan chair all year round.
It's cruel torture.
Su Quan went forward, supported his master, and came to a dilapidated courtyard and sat on the ground.
He still brought some clean water and some dry food.
I didn’t dare eat it myself, for fear of starving the master.
Su Qian drank a few sips of water and finally recovered. He looked up and stared at Su Quan.
The two looked at each other for a moment and began to laugh.
Su Quan laughed and said, "Master, this Qin Fang is quite stupid. His father is a great general, but he has weak soldiers under him."
Su Qian also laughed: "His father was also calculated, not to mention the little kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet."
"Master is right. You are the boss who commands the west part of the town. Who can be your opponent?"
This sentence made Su Qian silent.
Who made me look like this? I smell sour and stinky all over. Do I like it?
After thinking for a while, he murmured.
"Little Lin Feng, you are indeed extraordinary. I underestimated you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard someone take over the conversation.
"Not only did you underestimate General Lin, you also underestimated a kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet."
Su Qian and the other man were stunned for a moment and looked nervously outside the dark wall.
The two men had little experience, and after arriving at the village, they didn't look around.
I just felt that I had escaped from the city and was out of danger.
Who knew that there were other people in this dilapidated village.
As the words were spoken, a man popped out from behind the broken wall, leaning his arms on the wall, looking straight at Su Qian and the other man.
Su Qian began to tremble all over, and his hands loosened uncontrollably, dropping a piece of dry food to the ground.
"You...you are..."
"I am the little guy whose hair hasn't even grown out yet."
Qin Fang glared at Su Qian coldly.
As soon as he finished speaking, torches were lit all around, and a dozen soldiers holding torches stood outside the courtyard.
Su Qian suddenly understood that he had stepped into the pit that others had dug for him.
Even though he had been very careful in his defense, he was still tricked by the young man in front of him.
"Boy, I have to say, you really have some of your father's skills."
Su Qian calmed down and realized that there was no hope of escape, so he felt at ease.
Qin Fang sneered: "You are wrong again, I really am that little brat whose hair hasn't even grown out yet."
Su Qian was stunned for a moment, then asked in a deep voice.
"Is it Lin Feng?"
Qin Fang waved his hand: "You should worry about your own fate, take him away."
Several soldiers rushed out from the darkness, climbed over the broken wall and pounced on Su Qian.
Su Quan stood up and took a stance, looking vigilantly at the soldiers rushing towards him.
Su Qian shook his head: "Su Quan, their target is me, the master. You have no business here. Just stay still."
There are too many people on the other side, no matter how capable you are, you can't turn the tables.
If Su Quan had not resisted, he could have saved his life.
Su Qian and Su Quan were both tied up and put on the backs of war horses.
Hu Jincai's two thousand elite cavalrymen and five hundred guards led by Cheng Liang had arrived twenty miles away from the city by dusk.
The cavalry reported that the Black Turban Army was camping outside the city and had been attacking the city for a day.
Hu Jincai ordered everyone to dismount and set up camp to rest.
He sat on the grass, taking in the current situation.
Li Donglai's two thousand cavalrymen might not arrive until tomorrow afternoon, not to mention Lin Qiaomei's troops, which will arrive even later.
The Black Scarf Army numbered 30,000 and was 20 miles away from him.
According to the enemy's combat power, if we rush into the camp in darkness, we might get good results.
This idea made Hu Jincai excited.
He is a smart person, and this characteristic has been affirmed by Lin Feng.
Night combat was the Qingshui Army’s strong point, even though they were small in number.
With the combat effectiveness of the Qingshui Army, there would definitely be no problem for them to rush into the Black Scarf Army camp and make a circle in the dark night.
Kill as many as you can, it doesn’t hurt you at all.
Thinking of this, Hu Jincai immediately called several generals and began to deduce his own ideas.
In the Black Turban Army camp, Feng Ling also received the report.
It was said that several thousand Qing water troops were approaching within twenty miles.
