One day, Zhao Xin suddenly thought of Su Dongpo's night tour of Red Cliff. He thought that if Old Su could do it, he could do it too. Thinking of this idea, he was very excited. Who knew that when he mentioned this to Jiang Qin and Zhou Tai, the two of them would not agree no matter what, afraid that it would be dangerous to sail at night.
Xin Zhao smiled,"With you two here, who are familiar with the water, what are you afraid of? Besides, I know a little about the water too." "
The two of them could not resist Zhao Xin's coaxing and pestering, and had no choice but to submit to Zhao Xin's tyrannical power. In the end, they finally agreed to let Zhou Tai, who was better at swimming, bring a group of soldiers with excellent swimming skills to go with Zhao Xin.
Zhao Xin said jokingly to Xu Chu,"Zhongkang, don't go. If anything happens, and you don't know how to swim, Youping will definitely save me first. Then you'll be in danger." "
Xu Chu shook his head firmly. Zhao Xin knew that Xu Chu would never leave his side.
At night, Zhao Xin, Zhou Tai, and the others sat on a boat that could accommodate about thirty people and sailed along the Yangtze River. Zhao Xin stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the night sky. He was in a poetic mood and almost recited Old Su's "Nian Nu Jiao (Red Cliff)". Fortunately, he reacted in time and quickly stopped the car. Otherwise, Zhou Yu was still nowhere to be seen, and the Battle of Red Cliff might not happen. If he had such a poem, it would probably make people laugh their heads off.
As the night slowly passed and the river gradually became foggy, Zhou Tai urged Zhao Xin to go back. Zhao Xin saw that the night sky in the fog had an even more hazy beauty. He was in the mood to travel, so how could he be willing to go back?
Not long after, the fog grew thicker. Suddenly, there was a shout of killing coming from upstream. Slowly, the sound became louder and louder. Xin Zhao ordered the boat to go up and see what was going on.
It was foggy at night, and the lights on the boat were dim, so Zhou Tai had no time to stop Zhao Xin. The boat had just gone up a little. Suddenly, a boat emerged from the fog and rushed straight towards Zhao Xin's boat. With a bang, wood splinters scattered and both boats fell apart.
Everyone on the ship was thrown into a mess. The moment the two ships collided, Xu Chu protected Zhao Xin with all his might. Zhou Tai also led his men to surround Zhao Xin. They did not know that the force of the collision was unimaginable. Those who were originally together were separated by an unknown distance after the ships scattered. However, Xu Chu was still holding Xin Zhao tightly. Xin Zhao struggled in the water. The moment he surfaced, he saw a few boats circling the water, looking for something. Xin Zhao could only vaguely hear a few words like,"Idiot, go and find them. If they're alive, I want to see them. If they're dead, I want to see their corpses." Just as he was about to take a closer look, Xu Chu hugged Zhao Xin tightly underwater. Zhao Xin smiled bitterly in his heart. Sometimes, having too loyal a subordinate would cause trouble. Xu Chu was not protecting him at this moment. He was simply trying to get himself killed.
Slowly, Xin Zhao couldn't hold on any longer. After drinking an unknown amount of river water, he was extremely tired and suddenly fainted.
After an unknown period of time, Xin Zhao woke up from his coma. He saw that his surroundings were pitch-black and that he was tied up. When he focused his attention, he knew that he was on a ship. It seemed that he was locked in the bottom of the cabin. She struggled to scream, but no one answered. She slowly got tired and curled up in a corner to sleep.
Unknowingly, the night had passed. Xin Zhao woke up when he heard footsteps outside the cabin. After a while, the cabin door opened and a skinny man came in with something. It was probably food.
Xin Zhao took advantage of the moment the door opened to quickly look around the cabin. Beside him, not far away, Xu Chu was lying there. He looked like he was still unconscious. Separated by Xu Chu, there were two thin figures curled up. It was impossible to see who they were.
The man lit the lamp and saw Xin Zhao looking at him. He didn't say anything and came over to feed Xin Zhao. Xin Zhao ate a few mouthfuls and found it hard to swallow. However, he could not care less for his life. Seeing that Xu Chu did not show any signs of waking up, the person walked towards the two people in the corner and fed them a few mouthfuls of food. Seeing that the person turned around and was about to leave the cabin, ignoring Xu Chu, Zhao Xin became anxious. At this moment, he did not have any use for any divine schemes. He shouted,"Big brother, feed the man beside me! "
Seeing that the person did not turn around and was about to leave, Zhao Xin shouted anxiously,"Big brother, I beg you, or he will die. Please shake him up and feed him a few more mouthfuls. "Her voice was hoarse as if she was about to cry.
The man glanced at Xin Zhao and walked back to Xu Chu's side. He started shaking him vigorously. After a while, Xu Chu opened his eyes weakly. He looked around and saw Xin Zhao. He wanted to say something but could not. He could only stare at Xin Zhao. The person was about to feed Xu Chu when he saw that Xu Chu was looking somewhere else. He slapped Xu Chu and forced him to eat a few mouthfuls of rice. Zhao Xin hurriedly said,"Zhongkang, you eat first." "
After feeding Xu Chu, the person ignored them and walked out. The lights in the cabin were still on.
When Zhao Xin saw that Xu Chu had finished eating, he was about to say a few words to Xu Chu when Xu Chu fell asleep again. Zhao Xin stayed for a while and was about to chat with the two of them when he suddenly saw the lamp and was overjoyed. At that moment, he was still in the mood to talk. He slowly moved his body to the side of the lamp. After waiting for a while, he saw that the person did not show any signs of returning. He mustered up his courage and moved his hands that were tied behind his back to his side. With difficulty, he placed the rope that tied his hands on the lamp to burn them. He accidentally burned his hands. Zhao Xin broke out in cold sweat from the pain, but he did not dare to make a sound. When the two people beside him heard the voice, they turned their heads and stared at Zhao Xin. Their eyes were filled with nervousness. After a while, the rope was finally burnt. Xin Zhao could not help but sigh in relief. He hurriedly untied the rope on his feet and put the ashes on the ground and the unburned rope into his pocket. She walked to Xu Chu's side and saw that he was unaware of what had happened. She knew what had happened to him. After a brief examination, she saw a pool of blood under Xu Chu, but it had already coagulated. She carefully turned Xu Chu's body and saw an extremely deep and irregular wound on his back. Fortunately, the bleeding had stopped. After letting Xu Chu lie down, Zhao Xin touched Xu Chu's forehead again. He felt that it was a little hot, but Zhao Xin felt that there should be no major problem. It seemed that Xu Chu's life was saved, but he would probably have to recuperate for a period of time.
Zhao Xin thought to himself that it was fortunate that Xu Chu's foundation was extremely strong. Otherwise, if it were anyone else, they would probably have died long ago. Seeing Xu Chu like this, Zhao Xin knew that it was definitely not a good time to escape. He pulled out his underwear and wiped the blood off his hands. Looking at the two of them, he knew that they had seen what had happened just now. It seemed that only by reaching an agreement with them would he have a chance of survival.
Xin Zhao walked up to the two of them and had a chance to look at them carefully. It turned out to be a young woman and a ten-year-old child. The child was vigorous and looked very pleasing, but at this moment, he was dispirited and dispirited. Although the woman was disheveled and haggard, it could not hide her breathtaking beauty.
Xin Zhao whispered to them,"My companion is seriously injured and can't move at the moment. Therefore, I can't escape now. Even if I really want to leave, I can't bring you along." However, if you can help me keep this secret, I promise to bring you all away when my companion recovers. However, I can't untie you now. "
Before the woman could say anything, the child was already nodding his head vigorously. Xin Zhao thought to himself that this child was really smart. The child tugged at the woman, and the woman hurriedly nodded.
Seeing that they agreed, Zhao Xin did not say anything more. He returned to his position and pretended to be tied up.
When he was bored, Zhao Xin looked at Xu Chu and then at the two of them. He realized that the child and the woman would secretly glance at Zhao Xin from time to time as if they were afraid that Zhao Xin would break his promise. Xin Zhao looked at the child's appearance and really liked it. He could not help but smile at the child. Xin Zhao's smile was not very good at this moment. His head was in a mess. How could his smile be good? However, the child also smiled at Xin Zhao.
After a while, Xin Zhao couldn't help but ask,""Little brother, what's your name? "
"My mother calls me Xun 'er. Uncle, you can call me Xun' er too. Uncle, what about you?" "
Xin Zhao thought to himself that he didn't know who had captured him. It was definitely not appropriate to reveal his identity at this time. He made up a fake name and said,"My name is Zhao Yan. Xun Er, you can call me Uncle Zhao. "
"Alright, Uncle Zhao, Uncle Zhao, why were you captured?" "
Zhao Xin said,"My boat was knocked over. When I woke up, I was here. I don't know why I was captured. What about you?" "
Just as Xun 'er was about to speak, the woman quickly stopped him with her eyes. Xun' er said,"Uncle Zhao, we don't know who caught us either. "
Xin Zhao was a little unhappy when he saw the woman's behavior. However, he knew that Xun 'er wasn't lying. It was just that there were some things that he couldn't tell him. Thinking that she hadn't told him the truth, she felt relieved. She started to talk nonsense with Xun 'er and gradually became familiar with him. Chatting and laughing with such a smart and cute child, Xin Zhao was quite happy. Moreover, Xun 'er was very clever. As soon as he heard footsteps coming from outside the cabin, he immediately shut his mouth.
Just like that, two days passed. Xu Chu woke up and could even struggle to sit up. Zhao Xin was overjoyed when he saw this and quickly told Xu Chu about his plan. He also told Xu Chu about his fake name and asked him to call him Young Master in the future.
Xu Chu did not agree with Zhao Xin's plan and insisted that Zhao Xin escape first. Zhao Xin tried his best to persuade Xu Chu.
After five days, Xu Chu's injuries had recovered by 50 - 60%. The two of them were overjoyed. Zhao Xin wondered what kind of body Xu Chu had to recover so quickly from such serious injuries.
These days, Xin Zhao was getting more and more fond of Xun 'er. Whenever he had the chance, he would chat with Xun' er. Sometimes, the middle-aged woman would also interrupt him with a few words. However, most of the time, she would just follow what Xun 'er had said. In the end, she didn't say much to Xin Zhao.
For the past five days, the man who delivered food had come to the cabin to feed them every day. The man didn't say anything and ignored Zhao Xin and the others. Moreover, every meal could only maintain a little of their strength. They were not full at all. Xun 'er and his mother were fine, and Zhao Xin was slightly better. Only Xu Chu suffered.
Sometimes, Zhao Xin found it funny when he saw Xu Chu frowning all day. He thought about how he had never seen Xu Chu like this before. All this while, Xu Chu had always been by Zhao Xin's side, and he had always been a regular player.
Zhao Xin sometimes wondered where the ship was going. He thought that it would be troublesome if he stopped now. He would definitely be discovered. Xu Chu's injuries had not recovered yet, so he could not escape.
Fortunately, the ship only stopped after nine days. At this time, Xu Chu was almost fully recovered. As for the details of the escape, Xin Zhao had also repeatedly told Xu Chu. Xin Zhao loosened Xu Chu's knot and let Xu Chu try to break it with one try before he stopped. Then, he used the burnt rope to tie himself up and did the same.
When Xun 'er saw that Zhao Xin had loosened the knots on Xu Chu and himself, leaving only his mother and himself, he thought that Zhao Xin was going to abandon them. He almost cried and said,"Uncle Zhao, are you going to leave us alone? "
Seeing him like this, Xin Zhao thought to himself that a child was a child. No matter how smart he was, he could not escape the nature of a child. He smiled at Xun 'er and said,"Xun 'er, you and your mother are weak. Even if you loosen the knot, you won't be able to break it. So, it's better not to loosen it, lest they see through it. Don't worry, I'll definitely take you with me. "
Not long after, the skinny man led six or seven people in. Two of them went to pick up Xun 'er and his mother, while the other four went to pick up Zhao Xin and Xu Chu. Perhaps the person who had grabbed Xun 'er's mother had seen her beauty and had done something inappropriate. Xun' er's mother screamed. One of them shouted,"Fourth, don't forget the rules. The leader wants us to bring these people to the village unscathed. If you force this woman to death, we'll see who can save you." "After hearing these words, that Fourth Brother clearly became more well-behaved.
Once they reached the shore, these people threw Zhao Xin and the other three into a carriage and drove it west.
Zhao Xin and Xu Chu were overjoyed. They did not expect that after waiting for such a long time, the opportunity to escape would come so easily. Zhao Xin and Xu Chu broke free from the ropes. Zhao Xin quickly untied Xun 'er and his mother's ropes. When he untied Xun' er's mother's ropes, it was inevitable that there would be some bumps, causing Xun 'er's mother to blush. Xin Zhao couldn't be bothered to look at her expression. He poked his head out slightly to take a look. He was surrounded by the wilderness. There were ten or so riders leading the way in front, and five or six riders following behind.
He turned around and saw that Xu Chu wanted to ask something. He quickly stopped him from saying anything and gently instructed Xun 'er and his son not to make a sound. Zhao Xin sat down and racked his brains for a way to escape. He thought to himself that he and Xu Chu did not have any weapons in their hands. They did not have weapons that could be taken from the enemy, but it would be very difficult to protect Xun 'er and his son while fighting with others. After thinking for a while, he had a plan in his heart. He told Xu Chu the plan in his heart in detail and instructed Xun 'er and her son on how to deal with it when the time came.
After a while, Xu Chu rushed out of the car, grabbed the charioteer, and threw him out. At this moment, Xin Zhao immediately took over the charioteer's position. When the people behind saw that something had happened to the car, they quickly spurred their horses to catch up from both sides and shouted to the people in front,"Something happened! When Zhao Xin and Xu Chu saw that two people had caught up to them, they did not say anything. They each flew up and kicked the people on the horses down, and their bodies landed accurately on the horses. As soon as Xin Zhao got on his horse, he shouted,"Xun Er, come out quickly! When the two of them came out, Zhao Xin and Xu Chu bent their bodies and reached out to grab them. They picked the two of them up and placed them on the horses in front of them.
At this moment, those people had already surrounded the general. Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhao Xin shouted at Xu Chu,"Zhongkang, follow me! "The two of them rode forward at the same time.
The people in front of the carriage had just turned their horses around and rushed back when they heard the sound behind them. Seeing that the four people and two horses were fleeing southwest, they quickly rode their horses to chase after them. One of them shouted,"Someone go and inform the big boss. The rest of you follow me and chase after him! "The people behind the carriage had chased after them.
Zhao Xin and Xu Chu fled in a panic. Zhao Xin turned his head and saw that the people behind him were chasing them very quickly. There was a forest on the left in front of them. He shouted at Xu Chu,"Zhongkang, hurry to that forest! The two of them rode their horses into the forest. When they reached a place in the forest where it was difficult to ride a horse, Zhao Xin did not hesitate to call Xu Chu to dismount and walk. Zhao Xin carried Xun 'er's mother on his back, and Xu Chu carried Xun' er on his back. The two of them went to places that were difficult to walk in the forest. The two of them took a detour in the forest. Although they could no longer see the pursuers behind them, they could still hear human voices. Zhao Xin knew that it would be difficult for the two of them to hide their tracks from the pursuers. He thought that he had to think of a way to hide their tracks. Otherwise, when the two of them were exhausted, it would be difficult for them to escape.
Xin Zhao ordered Xu Chu to rush in one direction while he rushed in another direction for a short distance. He immediately returned to his original spot and rushed in Xu Chu's direction while trying to erase some traces.
The two of them rushed for a while, and there was no sound behind them. Xu Chu could not help but look impressed. Zhao Xin knew that this method could not hide for long. He had to find a water source as soon as possible and escape along the water flow to completely hide his whereabouts. He hurriedly urged Xu Chu to hurry. Xu Chu was doing better along the way, but Zhao Xin was already panting from exhaustion. After all, Xun 'er was much lighter than his mother.
After rushing for a long time, they finally found a water source. Zhao Xin felt much more relaxed. The two of them carried the people on their backs and waded upstream. When Zhao Xin relaxed, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He had been in a hurry to escape, so he didn't feel anything when he was carrying Xun 'er's mother. At this moment, Zhao Xin only felt two lumps of meat sticking to his back, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. He lowered his head and looked at the two arms around his neck. He couldn't help but feel his heart flutter. At this moment, Zhao Xin suddenly felt extremely tired and just wanted to find a place to rest. He quickly greeted Xu Chu and found a place near the shore to rest.
When he put Xun 'er and his mother down, Zhao Xin realized that their clothes were torn in many places. Xun' er was young, so it didn't matter. His mother also saw his appearance at this time. A large part of his skin was exposed, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head.
The sky gradually darkened. The four of them found a hidden place to spend the night. At this time, the four of them felt extremely hungry. Zhao Xin's archery skills were not bad, but there was no bow or arrow at the moment, so Zhao Xin was helpless. Moreover, even if they could kill the prey, the four of them would probably have to eat it raw. The four of them had nothing on them.
In the end, Xu Chu had a way to find some fruits in the forest to satisfy his hunger. After the four of them finished eating, Xun 'er fell into a deep sleep. His mother watched him from the side. Zhao Xin and Xu Chu took turns keeping watch. Zhao Shouxin stayed up for the first half of the night, and Xu Chu stayed up for the second half.
On the second day, the four of them got up one after another. They couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing which direction to go in the future. After a while, Xin Zhao looked at Xun 'er and said,""Xun 'er, where are you and your mother going? "
Xun 'er and his mother had been fleeing with Zhao Xin and his wife during this period of time. It could be said that they were able to escape this time all because of Zhao Xin and his wife. At this moment, the two of them had incomparable trust in Zhao Xin. They felt that there was no need to hide anything from Zhao Xin anymore. "Uncle Zhao, my mother and I are going to Lujiang," said Xun 'er.
Xin Zhao thought to himself that this was a completely different direction from his own, one east and one west. Although he did not know the exact location, he was afraid that they had not reached Lujiang yet. They should be somewhere between Lujiang and Shouchun.
Xun 'er looked at Zhao Xin who was silent and was extremely worried. Although he believed that Zhao Xin wouldn't abandon him and his son, he might have something important to do. At that time, how would he and his son go to Lujiang?
"Xun 'er, can you tell me what you're going to do in Lujiang?" Zhao Xin muttered to himself. "
"Let's go home!" "
Seeing Zhao Xin shake his head in disbelief, Xun 'er said anxiously,""Uncle Zhao, my great-uncle is Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang. My mother and I were originally planning to return to our hometown to pay our respects to my father, but now that things have turned out this way, we have no choice but to rush back to Lujiang. Uncle Zhao, please believe me. "
Zhao Xin was shocked that he had saved Lu Xun. He looked at little Lu Xun and thought that this was the person who could compete with Zhuge Liang in the future. No wonder he was so smart at such a young age. Since he knew that he was Lu Xun, he had to send him back. Zhao Xin and Lu Xun had been together for a long time, and he liked Lu Xun very much. Even if he did not know Lu Xun's identity, Zhao Xin had made up his mind to send them back safely.
Seeing that Zhao Xin did not answer for a long time, Lu Xun stared at Zhao Xin anxiously.
Zhao Xin could not help but laugh when he saw Lu Xun like this. He glanced at Xu Chu, who signaled for him to listen to his arrangements. He made up his mind and said to Lu Xun,"Xun 'er, we'll send you back to Lujiang. "
Lu Xun rushed up and hugged Zhao Xin. Beside him, Madam Lu looked at Zhao Xin apologetically, and Zhao Xin nodded to show that he was unguarded.
Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said,"Madam Lu, Xun 'er, those people obviously want to deal with you. Now that they have predicted that we will return to Lujiang, since they can't catch up with us, they will definitely intercept us on the way." Why don't we catch him off guard and rush north for a while before turning south to the Lu River? What do you think? "
Lu Xun and Madam Lu quickly nodded, indicating that everything would be arranged by Zhao Xin.
After making up their minds, the four of them rushed north and only left the forest three days later. After that, they rushed north for another two days. During these days, there were no pursuers behind them. The four of them had a relatively easy time along the way. However, ever since Zhao Xin carried her on his back and escaped that day, Madam Lu had intentionally or unintentionally avoided Zhao Xin. However, Lu Xun and Zhao Xin had become even more intimate.

Xu Chu shook his head firmly. Zhao Xin knew that Xu Chu would never leave his side.
At night, Zhao Xin, Zhou Tai, and the others sat on a boat that could accommodate about thirty people and sailed along the Yangtze River. Zhao Xin stood at the bow of the boat and looked at the night sky. He was in a poetic mood and almost recited Old Su's "Nian Nu Jiao (Red Cliff)".

If he had such a poem, it would probably make people laugh their heads off.
As the night slowly passed and the river gradually became foggy, Zhou Tai urged Zhao Xin to go back. Zhao Xin saw that the night sky in the fog had an even more hazy beauty. He was in the mood to travel, so how could he be willing to go back?
Not long after, the fog grew thicker. Suddenly, there was a shout of killing coming from upstream. Slowly, the sound became louder and louder. Xin Zhao ordered the boat to go up and see what was going on.
It was foggy at night, and the lights on the boat were dim, so Zhou Tai had no time to stop Zhao Xin. The boat had just gone up a little. Suddenly, a boat emerged from the fog and rushed straight towards Zhao Xin's boat. With a bang, wood splinters scattered and both boats fell apart.

They did not know that the force of the collision was unimaginable. Those who were originally together were separated by an unknown distance after the ships scattered. However, Xu Chu was still holding Xin Zhao tightly. Xin Zhao struggled in the water. The moment he surfaced, he saw a few boats circling the water, looking for something. Xin Zhao could only vaguely hear a few words like,"Idiot, go and find them. If they're alive, I want to see them. If they're dead, I want to see their corpses." Just as he was about to take a closer look, Xu Chu hugged Zhao Xin tightly underwater. Zhao Xin smiled bitterly in his heart. Sometimes, having too loyal a subordinate would cause trouble. Xu Chu was not protecting him at this moment. He was simply trying to get himself killed.
Slowly, Xin Zhao couldn't hold on any longer. After drinking an unknown amount of river water, he was extremely tired and suddenly fainted.

Seeing that the person did not turn around and was about to leave, Zhao Xin shouted anxiously,"Big brother, I beg you, or he will die. Please shake him up and feed him a few more mouthfuls. "Her voice was hoarse as if she was about to cry.
The man glanced at Xin Zhao and walked back to Xu Chu's side. He started shaking him vigorously. After a while, Xu Chu opened his eyes weakly. He looked around and saw Xin Zhao. He wanted to say something but could not. He could only stare at Xin Zhao. The person was about to feed Xu Chu when he saw that Xu Chu was looking somewhere else. He slapped Xu Chu and forced him to eat a few mouthfuls of rice. Zhao Xin hurriedly said,"Zhongkang, you eat first." "
After feeding Xu Chu, the person ignored them and walked out. The lights in the cabin were still on.
When Zhao Xin saw that Xu Chu had finished eating, he was about to say a few words to Xu Chu when Xu Chu fell asleep again.

How could his smile be good? However, the child also smiled at Xin Zhao.
After a while, Xin Zhao couldn't help but ask,""Little brother, what's your name? "
"My mother calls me Xun 'er. Uncle, you can call me Xun' er too. Uncle, what about you?" "
Xin Zhao thought to himself that he didn't know who had captured him. It was definitely not appropriate to reveal his identity at this time. He made up a fake name and said,"My name is Zhao Yan. Xun Er, you can call me Uncle Zhao. "

Just like that, two days passed. Xu Chu woke up and could even struggle to sit up. Zhao Xin was overjoyed when he saw this and quickly told Xu Chu about his plan. He also told Xu Chu about his fake name and asked him to call him Young Master in the future.
Xu Chu did not agree with Zhao Xin's plan and insisted that Zhao Xin escape first. Zhao Xin tried his best to persuade Xu Chu.
After five days, Xu Chu's injuries had recovered by 50 - 60%. The two of them were overjoyed. Zhao Xin wondered what kind of body Xu Chu had to recover so quickly from such serious injuries.
These days, Xin Zhao was getting more and more fond of Xun 'er. Whenever he had the chance, he would chat with Xun' er. Sometimes, the middle-aged woman would also interrupt him with a few words. However, most of the time, she would just follow what Xun 'er had said. In the end, she didn't say much to Xin Zhao.
For the past five days, the man who delivered food had come to the cabin to feed them every day. The man didn't say anything and ignored Zhao Xin and the others. Moreover, every meal could only maintain a little of their strength. They were not full at all. Xun 'er and his mother were fine, and Zhao Xin was slightly better. Only Xu Chu suffered.
Sometimes, Zhao Xin found it funny when he saw Xu Chu frowning all day. He thought about how he had never seen Xu Chu like this before. All this while, Xu Chu had always been by Zhao Xin's side, and he had always been a regular player.
Zhao Xin sometimes wondered where the ship was going. He thought that it would be troublesome if he stopped now. He would definitely be discovered. Xu Chu's injuries had not recovered yet, so he could not escape.
Fortunately, the ship only stopped after nine days. At this time, Xu Chu was almost fully recovered. As for the details of the escape, Xin Zhao had also repeatedly told Xu Chu. Xin Zhao loosened Xu Chu's knot and let Xu Chu try to break it with one try before he stopped. Then, he used the burnt rope to tie himself up and did the same.
When Xun 'er saw that Zhao Xin had loosened the knots on Xu Chu and himself, leaving only his mother and himself, he thought that Zhao Xin was going to abandon them. He almost cried and said,"Uncle Zhao, are you going to leave us alone? "
Seeing him like this, Xin Zhao thought to himself that a child was a child. No matter how smart he was, he could not escape the nature of a child. He smiled at Xun 'er and said,"Xun 'er, you and your mother are weak. Even if you loosen the knot, you won't be able to break it. So, it's better not to loosen it, lest they see through it. Don't worry, I'll definitely take you with me. "
Not long after, the skinny man led six or seven people in. Two of them went to pick up Xun 'er and his mother, while the other four went to pick up Zhao Xin and Xu Chu. Perhaps the person who had grabbed Xun 'er's mother had seen her beauty and had done something inappropriate. Xun' er's mother screamed. One of them shouted,"Fourth, don't forget the rules. The leader wants us to bring these people to the village unscathed. If you force this woman to death, we'll see who can save you." "After hearing these words, that Fourth Brother clearly became more well-behaved.
Once they reached the shore, these people threw Zhao Xin and the other three into a carriage and drove it west.
Zhao Xin and Xu Chu were overjoyed. They did not expect that after waiting for such a long time, the opportunity to escape would come so easily. Zhao Xin and Xu Chu broke free from the ropes. Zhao Xin quickly untied Xun 'er and his mother's ropes. When he untied Xun' er's mother's ropes, it was inevitable that there would be some bumps, causing Xun 'er's mother to blush. Xin Zhao couldn't be bothered to look at her expression. He poked his head out slightly to take a look. He was surrounded by the wilderness. There were ten or so riders leading the way in front, and five or six riders following behind.
He turned around and saw that Xu Chu wanted to ask something. He quickly stopped him from saying anything and gently instructed Xun 'er and his son not to make a sound. Zhao Xin sat down and racked his brains for a way to escape. He thought to himself that he and Xu Chu did not have any weapons in their hands. They did not have weapons that could be taken from the enemy, but it would be very difficult to protect Xun 'er and his son while fighting with others. After thinking for a while, he had a plan in his heart. He told Xu Chu the plan in his heart in detail and instructed Xun 'er and her son on how to deal with it when the time came.
After a while, Xu Chu rushed out of the car, grabbed the charioteer, and threw him out. At this moment, Xin Zhao immediately took over the charioteer's position. When the people behind saw that something had happened to the car, they quickly spurred their horses to catch up from both sides and shouted to the people in front,"Something happened! When Zhao Xin and Xu Chu saw that two people had caught up to them, they did not say anything. They each flew up and kicked the people on the horses down, and their bodies landed accurately on the horses. As soon as Xin Zhao got on his horse, he shouted,"Xun Er, come out quickly! When the two of them came out, Zhao Xin and Xu Chu bent their bodies and reached out to grab them. They picked the two of them up and placed them on the horses in front of them.
At this moment, those people had already surrounded the general. Seeing that the situation was critical, Zhao Xin shouted at Xu Chu,"Zhongkang, follow me! "The two of them rode forward at the same time.
The people in front of the carriage had just turned their horses around and rushed back when they heard the sound behind them. Seeing that the four people and two horses were fleeing southwest, they quickly rode their horses to chase after them. One of them shouted,"Someone go and inform the big boss. The rest of you follow me and chase after him! "The people behind the carriage had chased after them.
Zhao Xin and Xu Chu fled in a panic. Zhao Xin turned his head and saw that the people behind him were chasing them very quickly. There was a forest on the left in front of them. He shouted at Xu Chu,"Zhongkang, hurry to that forest! The two of them rode their horses into the forest. When they reached a place in the forest where it was difficult to ride a horse, Zhao Xin did not hesitate to call Xu Chu to dismount and walk. Zhao Xin carried Xun 'er's mother on his back, and Xu Chu carried Xun' er on his back. The two of them went to places that were difficult to walk in the forest. The two of them took a detour in the forest. Although they could no longer see the pursuers behind them, they could still hear human voices. Zhao Xin knew that it would be difficult for the two of them to hide their tracks from the pursuers. He thought that he had to think of a way to hide their tracks. Otherwise, when the two of them were exhausted, it would be difficult for them to escape.
Xin Zhao ordered Xu Chu to rush in one direction while he rushed in another direction for a short distance. He immediately returned to his original spot and rushed in Xu Chu's direction while trying to erase some traces.
The two of them rushed for a while, and there was no sound behind them. Xu Chu could not help but look impressed. Zhao Xin knew that this method could not hide for long. He had to find a water source as soon as possible and escape along the water flow to completely hide his whereabouts. He hurriedly urged Xu Chu to hurry. Xu Chu was doing better along the way, but Zhao Xin was already panting from exhaustion. After all, Xun 'er was much lighter than his mother.
After rushing for a long time, they finally found a water source. Zhao Xin felt much more relaxed. The two of them carried the people on their backs and waded upstream. When Zhao Xin relaxed, he immediately felt that something was wrong. He had been in a hurry to escape, so he didn't feel anything when he was carrying Xun 'er's mother. At this moment, Zhao Xin only felt two lumps of meat sticking to his back, and a strange feeling rose in his heart. He lowered his head and looked at the two arms around his neck. He couldn't help but feel his heart flutter. At this moment, Zhao Xin suddenly felt extremely tired and just wanted to find a place to rest. He quickly greeted Xu Chu and found a place near the shore to rest.
When he put Xun 'er and his mother down, Zhao Xin realized that their clothes were torn in many places. Xun' er was young, so it didn't matter. His mother also saw his appearance at this time. A large part of his skin was exposed, and she was so embarrassed that she couldn't even raise her head.
The sky gradually darkened. The four of them found a hidden place to spend the night. At this time, the four of them felt extremely hungry. Zhao Xin's archery skills were not bad, but there was no bow or arrow at the moment, so Zhao Xin was helpless. Moreover, even if they could kill the prey, the four of them would probably have to eat it raw. The four of them had nothing on them.
In the end, Xu Chu had a way to find some fruits in the forest to satisfy his hunger. After the four of them finished eating, Xun 'er fell into a deep sleep. His mother watched him from the side. Zhao Xin and Xu Chu took turns keeping watch. Zhao Shouxin stayed up for the first half of the night, and Xu Chu stayed up for the second half.
On the second day, the four of them got up one after another. They couldn't help but look at each other, not knowing which direction to go in the future. After a while, Xin Zhao looked at Xun 'er and said,""Xun 'er, where are you and your mother going? "
Xun 'er and his mother had been fleeing with Zhao Xin and his wife during this period of time. It could be said that they were able to escape this time all because of Zhao Xin and his wife. At this moment, the two of them had incomparable trust in Zhao Xin. They felt that there was no need to hide anything from Zhao Xin anymore. "Uncle Zhao, my mother and I are going to Lujiang," said Xun 'er.
Xin Zhao thought to himself that this was a completely different direction from his own, one east and one west. Although he did not know the exact location, he was afraid that they had not reached Lujiang yet. They should be somewhere between Lujiang and Shouchun.
Xun 'er looked at Zhao Xin who was silent and was extremely worried. Although he believed that Zhao Xin wouldn't abandon him and his son, he might have something important to do. At that time, how would he and his son go to Lujiang?
"Xun 'er, can you tell me what you're going to do in Lujiang?" Zhao Xin muttered to himself. "
"Let's go home!" "
Seeing Zhao Xin shake his head in disbelief, Xun 'er said anxiously,""Uncle Zhao, my great-uncle is Lu Kang, the prefect of Lujiang. My mother and I were originally planning to return to our hometown to pay our respects to my father, but now that things have turned out this way, we have no choice but to rush back to Lujiang. Uncle Zhao, please believe me. "
Zhao Xin was shocked that he had saved Lu Xun. He looked at little Lu Xun and thought that this was the person who could compete with Zhuge Liang in the future. No wonder he was so smart at such a young age. Since he knew that he was Lu Xun, he had to send him back. Zhao Xin and Lu Xun had been together for a long time, and he liked Lu Xun very much. Even if he did not know Lu Xun's identity, Zhao Xin had made up his mind to send them back safely.
Seeing that Zhao Xin did not answer for a long time, Lu Xun stared at Zhao Xin anxiously.
Zhao Xin could not help but laugh when he saw Lu Xun like this. He glanced at Xu Chu, who signaled for him to listen to his arrangements. He made up his mind and said to Lu Xun,"Xun 'er, we'll send you back to Lujiang. "
Lu Xun rushed up and hugged Zhao Xin. Beside him, Madam Lu looked at Zhao Xin apologetically, and Zhao Xin nodded to show that he was unguarded.
Zhao Xin thought for a moment and said,"Madam Lu, Xun 'er, those people obviously want to deal with you. Now that they have predicted that we will return to Lujiang, since they can't catch up with us, they will definitely intercept us on the way." Why don't we catch him off guard and rush north for a while before turning south to the Lu River? What do you think? "
Lu Xun and Madam Lu quickly nodded, indicating that everything would be arranged by Zhao Xin.
After making up their minds, the four of them rushed north and only left the forest three days later. After that, they rushed north for another two days. During these days, there were no pursuers behind them. The four of them had a relatively easy time along the way. However, ever since Zhao Xin carried her on his back and escaped that day, Madam Lu had intentionally or unintentionally avoided Zhao Xin. However, Lu Xun and Zhao Xin had become even more intimate.
