When the carriage was leaving the north gate, it was stopped by Du Bo, who was guarding the gate. He stood in front of the car and said to the driver in a stern tone: "Who is the person in the car? Let him come out immediately for our inspection."

The coachman was also an experienced and meticulous workman. He quickly bowed to Du Bo and said, "June, the car is my master. He accidentally got infected with the cold and was about to go to the outside of the city for medical treatment. The master was too weak to get out of the car for June's interrogation. I hope June will forgive me."

Although the coachman said nothing, it still aroused Du Bo's suspicion. He frowned and said, "What's the matter infected with the cold? I see that there is a fugitive hidden in your car. Come and search for me!"

"Stop!" Just as the soldiers guarding the gate were about to go forward to search the car, Feng Liangce, who was following behind the car, immediately stepped forward, came to Du Bo, raised Yuan Shao's sword in his hand, and said loudly: "I was ordered by the lord to escort this important person out of the city. If there is any obstruction, I will be killed immediately."

Uncle Du knew Yuan Shao's sword and the official in front of him, and hurriedly replied: "I dare not stop him, so I will let the lord out of the city." After that, he shouted to the soldier standing by the door, "Don't give way!"

Seeing the soldiers guarding the gate, Jiang Jacki, who was following the carriage, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. He thought he would fight to rush out of the city, but he didn't expect that Feng Liang used Yuan Shao's sword to make the soldiers guarding the gate obediently give up a way for him. Everyone left the city gate, fearing that Yuan Shao would send people to chase him, so he immediately rushed to the north.

Yuan Shao in the mansion, but Feng Liang came back with Ju Su's head, and felt particularly puzzled. Feng Ji seemed to think something was wrong with this matter and hurriedly said to Yuan Shao: "Lord, something seems to be wrong. Feng Liang has been going for a few incense sticks, so why haven't he come back yet?"

In order to figure out what happened, Feng Ji ran out of the hall after getting Yuan Shao's permission, called a servant and ordered: "You should hurry to the prison immediately to see if Feng Liang has taken Ju Su's head of the Xiang?" The servant agreed and ran to the prison quickly.

Not long after, the officer hurriedly ran back. He knelt down in front of Yuan Shao, and reported in a panic: "Report to the lord, Xiaodi just went to the prison. Not only did he not see the official Feng Mansion, but even the army Ju Jian who was locked in the prison did not know where to go."

"What, what did you say?" Yuan Shao immediately stood up from his seat, stepped forward and grabbed the officer's clothes and asked loudly: "Not only Feng Liang is gone, but even Ju Su doesn't know where to go?"

The officer saw Yuan Shao's look ashamed and angry, and nodded in a hurry and replied nervously: "I found a few prisoners to inquire about it, and then I found out that Feng's official and a few strangers left the prison with Ju Jianjun."

"Damn it, it's so hateful!" Yuan Shao pushed the officer away and ordered Feng Ji: "Yuantu, immediately order Yan Liang to point out five hundred elite soldiers to chase him. Be sure to capture Ju Su and Feng Liang alive!"

After receiving the order, Feng Ji walked to the door and stopped again: "Lord, Ji was worried that Yan Liang would be unable to capture Ju Su and others and return."

Yuan Shao, who was angry, heard Feng Ji say this, glared at him and said loudly: "How dare Yan Liang disobey my general order?"

"Lord," Feng Ji saw that Yuan Shao had misunderstood his meaning, and quickly explained: "Lord handed over his sword to Feng Liang. Even if General Yan Liang caught up with them, he would not dare to act rashly when he saw his sword."

After hearing Feng Ji's words, Yuan Shao thought about it and felt that there was still some truth. He nodded, picked up a command arrow, handed it to Yu Feng Ji, and said to him: "Yuan Tu, let Yan Liang hold my command arrow and chase Ju Su. If you encounter resistance, even if the other party holds my sword, he will still be killed without mercy!"

…………

After leaving Yecheng, Jiang Chai kept heading north along the official road. But he always had an ominous premonition in his heart, feeling that Yuan Shao's pursuers might catch up at any time. After running for more than thirty miles, while everyone stopped to rest for a while, he called a subordinate and ordered: "If Yuan thief knew that we had robbed Mr. Ju, he would definitely send troops to chase him. You rush to Guantao, please send someone to the guard general Xiahou School Captain to pick him up."

Because Yecheng is too far from Jizhou and Guantao, Jiang Zhai didn't know that Han Zhan had arrived in Guantao, and even the guard general had changed from Xiahou Lan to Gao Lan again. Therefore, he repeatedly reminded his subordinates, "There are not many people who know the inside story when we rescue Mr. Ju. If the Xiahou Captain doesn't believe you, you can show your token."

"I understand." Jiang Zhai's subordinate agreed, and didn't bother to rest. He took two horses and rode his horse to the north along the official road.

Jiang Jacka and the others rested for more than half an hour, and when the horses were about to rest, they continued to rush forward. They ran on the road for a few more hours. Ju Su, who was sitting in the carriage, lifted the curtain and looked outside. Seeing a small town on the official road ahead, they asked Jiang Jacka: "This hero, how far are we from Yecheng?"

"Reply to Mr. Ju's words," Jiang Zhai replied respectfully, "It's about eighty miles."

"Heroic, I think it's getting late and everyone is too tired. We might as well find a place to rest for a night and wait for tomorrow to go on a journey." Ju Su was afraid that Jiang Zhai would not agree, so he emphasized: "It is nearly a hundred miles away from Yecheng at present. I believe that even if Yuan Benchu ​​sent troops, it would not be possible to catch up so quickly."

Jiang Zhai looked around and saw that the subordinates and Feng Liang were all trapped. After thinking about what Ju Su said, he felt that Yuan Shao's soldiers could not catch up so quickly, so he nodded and said, "Then listen to Mr. Ju, let's rest here for a night."

Just as everyone entered the only inn in the town, a sudden burst of horse hooves sounded from the street. Jiang Jacky thought that Yuan Shao's pursuers arrived, so he pulled out his sword and rushed out of the inn. He stood on the street and looked in the direction of the sound of horse hooves. He saw one man and two horsemen coming towards him, and the people on the horse's back looked quite familiar.

In a moment, the rider rushed to a place that was only a dozen people away from him, and suddenly pulled the reins. The war horse neighed and stood up. The two horse legs in front kicked in the air for a few times, then landed heavily on the bluestone ground of the street, making a dull sound.

The rider on the horse rolled over and got off the horse, knelt down on one knee in front of Jiang Zhai, and said, "The little one met a messenger sent by the lord on the way, so he asked him to go back to Guantao for help, while the little one came back with the lord's letter."

"Where is the letter?" Jiang Zhai asked anxiously when he heard his subordinates say this, "Hurry up and show it to me."

The subordinate reached into his arms, took out a letter from it, held it in both hands and handed it to Jiang Zhai.

After reading the contents of the letter, Jiang Chai couldn't help but sigh: "The lord is really a god."

When his subordinates heard Jiang Zhai say this, they couldn't help but ask curiously: "I wonder what is written in the lord's letter?"

Jiang Chai smiled and said, "My lord had expected that Yuan Thief would send someone to kill Mr. Ju, so he ordered us to find a way to rescue Mr. Ju. Fortunately, we made a decision without authorization and took action in advance before getting the lord's warrant, otherwise Mr. Ju would be unable to save his life."

"The lord is really a god." After hearing Jiang Zhai's words, his subordinates also said flatteringly: "I can guess that Yuan Thief wanted to send someone to kill Mr. Ju, so I ordered us to rescue him."

After Jiang Zhai collected the letter, he said to his subordinates: "You are tired all the way, hurry up and go in and rest. We will continue to rush tomorrow morning."

Just as Jiang Chai and Ju Su were resting in the town, the 500 cavalry led by Yan Liang were only more than twenty miles away. It was already late at this moment. Yan Liang, who had always been polite to deploy, ordered to find a shelter place to camp and prepare to continue chasing Ju Su and others after dawn the next day.

Before dawn the next day, Jiang Chai, who had been restless, urged everyone to leave. Everyone knew that they were running for their lives, so no one had any objections to Jiang Chai's decision. They didn't even have breakfast, so they hurriedly got on the horse and rushed to the north.

Two hours after they left, Yan Liang's cavalry came to the town. Seeing the inn's sign, Yan Liang ordered a small school to go and find out if a carriage and a few horse riders passed by here.

Not long after, the school came back and reported, "Report to the general, the young man asked the inn owner. He said that last night there was a carriage and seven or eight horse riding people stayed in his shop for a whole night. Before the day was clear, he left the inn and headed north. He walked for almost two hours."

After listening to the primary school report, Yan Liang patted his forehead with his hand in annoyance, and secretly scolded himself for being confused. If someone had sent here to investigate last night, he might have been able to catch up with Ju Su. Now the other party has been away for more than two hours, and even if he rushes to chase him, he will at least not be able to catch up in the afternoon.

Thinking of this, Yan Liang immediately ordered: "Chasing north!"

…………

If Ju Shu hadn't been ill and could not ride a horse, Jiang Zhai would have asked him to abandon his carriage, which would at least make the time faster. It was precisely because of the drag of the carriage that Jiang Zhai and the others had only walked more than ten miles away, although they had only left for two hours earlier.

Feng Liang obviously realized this problem and whispered to Jiang Zhai: "Brother Jiang, do you think you are asking Mr. Ju to abandon his car and ride a horse so that we can also improve our qualities?"

"No," Jiang Zhai shook his head and said, "Mr. Ju has been in prison for too long. Now he is not feeling well. It's so cold that he can ride a horse, isn't it his life?"

Ju Su, who was sitting in the car, heard the other party, lifted the curtain and forced himself to force himself to Jiang Zhai, "Heroic man, go find me a horse, I want to ride a horse like you."

"No, Mr. Ju, never." Jiang Chai heard Ju Su say this and quickly waved his hand to dissuade him: "You are not in good health and may not be suitable for riding a horse, so you should continue on a carriage."

Unexpectedly, after hearing this, Ju Su ordered the driver to stop the car and said stubbornly: "Su knows very well in his heart that if it weren't for the drag of the carriage, you would have been out of danger. For everyone's sake, Su Su would rather ride a horse."

Seeing Ju Su so stubborn, Jiang Chai knew that he could not make him change his mind, so he could only ask his subordinates to hold a horse and ask Ju Su to go up there. But as soon as Ju Su sat on it, he was shaking, as if he would fall down at any time. Jiang Chai was afraid that Ju Su would fall off the horse's back when he was running wildly later, so he quickly ordered someone to tie him to the horse.

As soon as Ju Su tied up, a Xiao Zuo suddenly turned over and got off the horse, lay on the ground, pressed his ear into the snow pile, listened carefully for a moment, then stood up and said to Jiang Zhai with panic expressions: "Brother Jiang, there is a horse team coming towards us in the distance. According to my judgment, there are about five hundred riders."

When Jiang Chai heard that a cavalry was chasing him, he was shocked. He hurriedly asked, "How far is it from us?"

"Ten miles away."

I heard that the pursuers had reached ten miles away, so everyone dared not to stop. After throwing away the carriage in a hurry, they rode their horses and ran towards the north.

The cavalry led by Yan Liang soon arrived at the place where Jiang Zhai and the others abandoned the carriage. Yan Liang rode a horse around the carriage and then ordered his men: "They just left shortly and ran far, so they immediately speed up and chased after them, and they could not let them escape."

Jiang Chai and others running in front tried their best to get rid of the pursuit as soon as possible, whipped the horses with whips. But after thirty or forty miles, their mounts gradually could not run, and their mounts unknowingly reduced. A mount made a sarcastic thunderously and fell into the snow pile on the side of the road, throwing the rider above them far away.

Jiang Zhai hurriedly dismounted, helped the fallen Xiaozuo up, and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"

"Brother Jiang," the slight master looked at Jiang Jacki and said, "I guess I can't continue on the road if I fell and injured my leg. You can take everyone away first, and I will leave behind the back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zhai slapped him and cursed loudly: "You bastard, do you think you are Xiang Yu and have the courage to fight against the five hundred cavalry by one? Get on my horse immediately. As long as I have a breath, I will never leave my own brother."

The tears filled his eyes with tears, Jiang Jacki took up the mount, and the two rode a horse and continued to rush to the north.

In the afternoon, the pursuers led by Yan Liang were only two or three miles away from Jiang Jacki and the others. Seeing several people running for the desperate situation in front of him, the cavalry cheered immediately. They waved their weapons and prepared to rush over to kill the people in front of them.

Seeing the pursuers behind him, Jiang Chai couldn't help but feel disheartened and thought: "My life is over, but unfortunately I missed the lord's major event. I really can't die with my eyes!"

When Yan Liang's cavalry rushed to a hundred steps away, Jiang Chai ordered two subordinates to escort Ju Su, Feng Liang, the prison guards and others to continue to move north. He took three masters and pulled out the swords at his waist, preparing to fight to the death with the pursuers and gain time for his companions to escape.
