Chapter 2 System on Oita

It was already the fourth watch when Zhong Ping and others arrived at Beimang Mountain.

Dew condensed on the branches and leaves of the grass and trees in the mountains. As we walked along, our shoes, socks and clothes were all wet, and the coldness invaded our bones.

Zhongpei tried very hard to shrink into his clothes, but he felt withdrawn in his heart.

"It's so cold. It's dark up here, and the torch can't shine far. I wonder if there are any wild animals in the mountains at this time? Credit is great, but it also has to be earned. Why are you just thinking about the benefits at that time?

It seems that I am still too impulsive."

Tanahira took the torch from a servant and continued walking forward.

"It's impossible to give up. At this point, dad must know that I turned a deaf ear to his words and secretly left the city..."

"Hey, that's outrageous. I thought that the emperor's escape would definitely cause a lot of chaos. But when I went out, I saw that people were coming and going on the street as usual."

He quietly glanced at the muscular men following behind him.

"It seems like these guys don't know what happened."

He was thinking wildly in his mind and unknowingly walked to the river. Tanehira felt as if he had stepped on a hard object under his feet.

Zhongping brought the torch closer and examined it carefully. He found that it was half a piece of jade, which was cold and lubricated. He also saw that the footprints and horse hoof prints on the ground were messy.

Then we knew that Zhang Rang and others must have taken the emperor and King Chenliu to this place, and had been chased here.

Zhongping felt confident, so he took a torch and walked around the area with few footprints. Sure enough, he could distinguish a few child-sized footprints, and he looked towards the other side.

When several servants saw him walking back and forth on the shore without saying anything, and it was almost five o'clock, they all hesitated.

It was just that he had received the assignment of a housekeeper in the mansion before, and he knew not to ask questions that he shouldn't ask, so he followed Zhong Ping silently.

The sky is getting brighter, and the animals in the mountains seem to be active. The species has excellent ears. From a distance, I can hear the sound of trampling on the grass. However, although the sound is rapid, it is neat and powerful. It does not look like wild animals. It must have been domesticated by people.

.

Zhongping couldn't help but become vigilant, and gestured to everyone behind him to tell everyone to be careful.

The sound was getting closer. At this time, Zhongpei could vaguely see the faint light emitted by the torch. Combining the height of the light with the sound of stampeding, he guessed that someone might be riding towards this direction.

I just don’t know if those who came are rescuers, or Duan Gui and his ilk?

"Do you have any ropes with you?" Tanehira asked softly.

He thinks the latter is more likely.

The sound was getting closer. At this time, he could see the glimmer of light moving back and forth, and after a while it returned to the front. He felt a little more confident:

The man on the horse was clearly trying to avoid his pursuers, so he looked behind him from time to time.

The servants looked at each other, and one of them, a shorter man named Niu Fu, said: "I didn't bring any ropes. If the gentleman is in a hurry, I will be quick with my hands and feet and can weave straw ropes quickly."

Zhongpei was a little confused: "Wouldn't it be faster to just use the hemp rope around your waist?"

The scene was a little awkward for a while, but fortunately everyone reacted quickly and quickly took off the hemp ropes around their waists and tied the ends to form a long rope.

Thongpei tried it and found that it was quite strong, but the length seemed not quite enough. Thongpei directly took off his own belt and tied it with the hemp rope.

"I don't know if the length is enough now, but I'll make do with it."

But it was said that Duan Gui lost the emperor and was chased by Min Gong. He finally escaped from the pursuers and was exhausted physically and mentally. He didn't know where to go. He thought for a long time and thought to himself: "The strong horse under me is still energetic, so it is better to go back and search. If

If we can get the emperor back, there may be some room for change."

He made up his mind and drove his horse back. When he got out of the woods, it was already dimming in the morning light and he could see the road clearly, so he put out the torch, lightly tapped the horse's belly with his heel, and galloped towards the river bank.

"Chirp, chirp—" The horse underneath him suddenly let out a painful neigh and collapsed.

Duan Gui was caught off guard and was thrown off his horse. He plunged into the haystacks on the shore. Several strong men who had been hiding behind the haystacks immediately swarmed up and tied him up.

"Mr. Lang, it's already tied firmly." Niu Fu was a little nervous, looking like he was doing this for the first time, but his method of tying someone up was very sophisticated.

"Please let Mr. Lang handle it."

Thongpei: "Why are you so skilled?"

Niu Fu was very shy: "The villain's father was a butcher, so this is the way to kill a dog."

Zhong Ping looked at Duan Gui on the ground and had many bad associations for a while. He complained in a low voice: "Is this dog tying or a bastard? Or are our ancestors good at playing."

He kicked aside the broken glass at his feet and asked Niu Fu: "How is the horse injured?"

Niu Fu replied: "The horse's shoe was pricked to pieces, and it was bloody. The two front legs were also broken. I'm afraid it won't survive, so I can only keep the meat to eat."

Listening to his description, Zhongping felt that his feet seemed to be hurting. He quickly looked back and reminded the servants guarding Duan Gui to be careful about their steps and not to step on shards of glass. At the same time, he silently thanked the system in his heart.

"Brother Tong is very interesting. This cola is so exciting! If it weren't for the glass bottle as a guarantee, I really wouldn't dare wait here with a rope. After all, I'm not sure I can trip the horse in one go."

The system, the system said it didn’t want to talk.

To be honest, when Zhong Ping asked the system whether he could decide the status of receiving items by himself, such as specifying iced Coke or heated Coke, the system was completely unaware of his sinister intentions and directly gave him a positive answer.

Then Zhongpei showed a strange smile.

The system started to feel bad.

Tanehira: "Then I keep the Coke and just receive the glass bottle?"

System: "...Okay."

Zhongping: Plan pass.

Don't ask me where the bottle came from, just tell me it was picked up from the river.

Zhang asked Duan Gui to rob so much property in the palace, and when he escaped, he threw several glass bottles into the river. Is this reasonable?

This wave, this wave is a big score in the system, it's a huge win.

"Take this guy and let's go to the other side."

Tanahira gave an order and followed the footprints he had seen before. After crossing the river, he saw some trampling marks among the thorn bushes.

The group of people walked in for a long time, the road became more and more twists and turns, and they could not see any footprints on the ground.

Zhongping was a little depressed, but he felt somewhat comforted by the thought that he had finally caught a traitor.

"Speaking of which, I still don't know who the guy I captured is." Zhongping muttered, then turned around and asked, "Is the guy who was tied up awake?"

Niu Fu kicked Duan Gui twice politely and replied: "Wake up."

Duan Gui had already broken several ribs, but when he was kicked by Niu Fu, he screamed in pain and passed out from the pain as soon as he woke up.

Niu Fu:...Why can't this person resist being beaten?

Zhongping: "...It's quite brutal."

He began to wonder if the unlucky guy who was tied up had any grudge against Niu Fu.

However, his thoughts were quickly interrupted.

Because he caught a glimpse of a child walking out of the haystack on the right front.

"I am King Chenliu. Can a righteous man come forward?"

Zhongping was stunned for a moment, he didn't expect happiness to come so suddenly.

He hurriedly stepped forward and saluted: "A common man named Zhong Ping, the son of Zhong Ji, a servant, has met His Highness King Chenliu."

Liu Xie stepped aside, and a taller child walked out from behind the haystack.

Zhongping realized that it should be the young emperor Liu Bian, and was about to salute, but Liu Bian grabbed his hand: "You don't have to be polite. At your age, you can capture Duan Gui alive and rescue him alone. You are truly talented!"

Thongpei: Slowly type a question mark.

Are the people behind me not human?

And it turns out that this unlucky guy is Duan Gui?

Zhongpei's mood was complicated. He wondered if the two children were watching from behind the haystack as he walked along.

How else would they know that they were arresting Duan Gui?

Oh, I'm afraid it was Duan Gui's howl that they heard just now. I guess the two children were talking to each other while waiting for him to come over...

This action and expression are so professional.

To be honest, the moment his hand was held, he thought it was Liu Bei in front of him...

Is this a special gesture of the Liu family?

In just a short moment, he thought a lot in his mind, but he still had a very reliable calm expression on his face.

"I don't dare to take credit for my lack of talent. I was able to capture Duan Gui alive this time only because of my servants at home. Both of them were lucky. Gui is a traitor. God wants him to die. I can only follow the time of heaven."

Zhongping flattered him a little.

Liu Bian obviously heard it and held Zhong Ping's hand tightly, looking like he was about to shed tears.

Zhongping looked at the young emperor carefully at this moment, and saw that he was only thirteen or fourteen years old, with a haggard expression and a bit of panic, with dead grass stuck in his hair, and the hems of his clothes were torn by thorns, and he couldn't help but feel a little worried.
