walk to the water

Chu Xiang remembered that before he was surrendered in the morning, he was indeed full of contempt, and said, "If that's the case, you might as well persuade Fu Ling to kill me earlier, and I'd be grateful to you." Feeling strange, he went to plot to assassinate his brother himself , he praised himself instead, isn't he afraid of Fu Ling's suspicion?Or the two brothers have negotiated, one will sing the red face and the other will sing the bad face?No matter what the enemy's tricks are, I just stay the same and respond to all changes.

Fu Ming smiled slightly and said: "It's not like a general to beg for death for the sake of a false name. Since a general can resort to tricks of feigned surrender, he must be a man of great wisdom and courage. The most incompetent act. I will stop here and let the general decide for himself!"

His voice was not loud these few words, but Chu Xiang was startled, raised his head, and there was something fleeting in Fu Ming's eyes.Chu Xiang was surprised in his heart, but he still said: "Your method of provoking generals is useless to me."

Fu Ming said again: "I have already asked the doctor, you are seriously injured, if you are willing to survive, you will have the hope of surviving, otherwise the precious medicine will be in vain! You rest well, I will not disturb you any more." Fu Ming finished speaking , no longer staying, leading people out of the dungeon.

After Fu Ming left, Chu Xiang thought over and over what he said just now, and it suddenly became clear that what he said was indeed somewhat reasonable, since he was able to make a false surrender, what else could he not let go of?There is nothing to ask for in life and death, as long as you have a clear conscience.Now that Fu Ling doesn't want to kill him immediately, why not keep his life and continue to deal with him, or look for a chance to escape?The worst case scenario is death.After Chu Xiang figured this out, he felt magnanimous in his heart.

In the next few days, Chu Xiang was still lying in the cellar in a daze.Fu Ling didn't come again, but he sent someone to clean the cellar, new bedding and mats were replaced, and there was no shortage of food and water.But Fu Ming brought people here once or twice, not only used all the good medicines for him to apply externally or taken internally, but also fed him a lot of supplements, but never mentioned the matter of persuading him to surrender.Chu Xiang no longer refuses, and heals his wounds quietly. Although he seldom talks to Fu Ming, he can't help but feel close to each other.

Fu Ling rested for eight or nine days, then set off from camp, and hundreds of thousands of troops returned to Shangjing, the capital of Qin State.Chu Xiang was locked in a sealed carriage, and traveled with the large army, eating and living, all in the car, fearing that he would escape, he was still handcuffed and fettered, and military doctors would come to change his medicine from time to time.Chu Xiang's trauma has improved greatly, and his movements are unhindered, but his face is still pale, and he stays in the car quietly every day, doing exercises silently and regulating his internal energy. After ten days, his internal energy has also recovered Seventy to eighty percent.

That evening, the Qin army camped at the foot of a mountain. When Chu Xiang heard someone outside the car talk about Mount Kong, his heart skipped a beat. It turns out that Mount Kong runs from north to south and stretches for thousands of miles. It is a huge road across the border between Qin and Zhou. The mountain range is the closest to the state of Zhou.Tomorrow, after passing the Kongshan mountain, turning to the north, the distance from the homeland will be farther and farther away... Soon someone opened the car door and delivered dinner. Chu Xiang looked out through the crack of the door. It was completely dark and he could not see the surrounding scenery. .After dinner, Chu Xiang lay in the car and thought about what fate he would face if he insisted on not surrendering when he arrived in Shangjing in a few days?Can there be any more tricks?Suddenly thinking of Fu Ling's unfathomable gaze, Chu Xiang suddenly felt cold... and thought of running away again, but it is undoubtedly difficult for him to fly alone among the hundreds of thousands of troops!

Chu Xiang thought about it, but he had no good plan, so he closed his eyes and rested his mind. Suddenly, he heard someone shouting in the distance: "Fire! Fire!" The sound of footsteps, probably a lot of people rushed to put out the fire, and there was a lot of noise.Before Chu Xiang could react, the door of the carriage opened suddenly, and a man jumped in, raised the sword in his hand, and cut off the fine steel shackles on his hands and feet. "Junior brother, come with me!" The visitor covered his face, only showing a pair of eyes, but it was Di Feng!

Chu Xiang was taken aback: "Brother, why are you here?"

Di Feng had no time to say in detail: "I've been following you, let's go!" He took out a black coat, helped Chu Xiang put it on, covered his face, pulled Chu Xiang up, and got out of the car. jumped out.

When he got outside the car, Chu Xiang realized that the flames were burning in the distance, and there were many figures, and the soldiers guarding the carriage had been killed by Di Feng. A small group of soldiers noticed something strange here and came to reinforce them, but they were stopped by another group of people fight.Di Feng said: "Those are all your old subordinates, let's retreat first while we are in chaos!" He shouted, and immediately surrounded by more than [-] people, Di Feng said: "Let's go, the rest of the people cover! Go to the front Let's split up and run away on the mountain!"

A group of people ran for a few miles in the mountains. Hearing that the pursuers were getting closer, Di Feng stopped suddenly, dragged Chu Xiang to a towering tree by the roadside, and hid in the dense branches and leaves. The people scattered and fled.After a while, the pursuers arrived, and the two held their breath on the tree. The pursuers stopped for a while, and then rushed over in several lanes. When the footsteps faded away, the two jumped down silently.Di Feng brushed away the rocks and weeds, groped and led Chu Xiang eastward not far, and came to a cliff, and said: "Let's go down from here, there is a shortcut at the bottom of the cliff, follow the path and turn over two hills, then you Entering the territory of the state of Zhou, Qin Bing will definitely not be able to predict it. I will go down first, and you follow me." As he said, he climbed the cliff and slid down little by little.

At this time, the bright moon was in the sky, even though it was dark night, the unevenness on the cliff was still clearly illuminated.Chu Xiang also slid down the cliff with him, and the two had already reached the bottom of the cliff when they were young.When the sound of the pursuers could no longer be heard, Chu Xiangfang pulled off his veil and asked Di Feng carefully.It turned out that after Chu Xiang's assassination failed, Di Feng was on his way back to Beijing. He learned the news from the repatriated Zhou Jun, and he was about to hand over the letter and other things to his master to bring back. He secretly contacted a group of Chu Xiang's former loyalists. The subordinates hurried back to Xiazhou for rescue.After the Qin army moved out, Di Feng and his entourage had been secretly following the army around, watching for the opportunity, and only started to rob people today. According to the plan, some people were sent to set fire first to attract Qin soldiers' attention, while the rest came to rescue.And Di Feng is very familiar with the terrain around the Kongshan Mountain, and he has already inquired about the escape route.

The two brothers talked while walking, Di Feng pointed to the high mountain in front of him, and said with a smile: "Turn around that mountain again, we can cut a canoe down the Dun River, Qin Bing will never be able to catch up."

Chu Xiang was a little worried, and said: "Senior brother took the risk to rescue, and I am grateful. It's just that I escaped so easily, I always feel that there is a fraud in it."

Di Feng smiled disapprovingly: "Junior Brother, you have been tricked by Fu Ling once, and you have become paranoid and paranoid. Don't worry, we will reach the Dun River before dawn."
