Chapter 323: Human

The chief guard took several guards to the col where Zhengjiabao was stationed before, and brought back their chariots, horses, food and grass.

They planned to ambush before, so they brought a lot of food and grass, and their food became sufficient at once.

Although trapped in the Chenghuang Temple, everyone's anxious mood calmed down immediately.

It was miserable for Baozhu Zheng and others who were arrested. They only had two bowls of porridge every day, and their hands and feet were tied together. The Jianghu people in the temple hated them for dragging themselves down. Sarcasm, some people even asked Fortress Zheng what wicked thing he did twenty years ago that made Bai Yitang think about it.

Zheng Da and Zheng Er's faces were flushed with anger, but Baozhu Master Zheng's face was pale, he was afraid that Bai Yitang would reveal the matter of his castration, and you must know that he even kept this matter from his own son, except for his late wife. Man knows the secret.

Even if he was about to die, Castle Master Zheng didn't want to ruin his reputation before dying.

Fortunately, Bai Yitang didn't pay attention to them at all, he didn't even show his face, let alone reveal his secret to hit others.

The Jianghu people in the Chenghuang Temple are so idle that they can only gossip or discuss kung fu, or stare at the people around them, trying to find out the details that are still mixed among them.

"It's really strange, why didn't those guards go to arrest Zheng Yi? They were eating and drinking in the side hall all day long."

"Didn't you see the heavy snow falling outside? Who wants to go out in this kind of weather? Even if I have time to stay for a long time, I will be frozen."

"Then what do you think will happen to Zheng Yi who escaped? Didn't you say that the road ahead was blocked and he couldn't get out?"

Everyone was silent, and only after a while did someone say: "It's not that you can't get out, it's just that it's not easy to go, especially like they can't move with a carriage. Even if the road is blocked by heavy snow, he can still climb out. Although the snow is heavy now, the snow on the ground only reached his calf this morning. If he fled directly, he might have reached the small village fifteen miles away by now. Didn’t the guard come back that day and report that there is a village fifteen li to the south?”

Gu Jingyun was standing at the entrance of the side hall and looked up at the snowflakes flying down from the sky. The snow as big as a goose feather was about to rush to a feast, and it couldn't wait to fly down from the sky and fall to the ground in layers. hit a new high.

Yuan Shanting stood beside him and watched for a while, then sighed, "Even if the snow stopped our carriage, we might not be able to get out."

If such thick snow is not shoveled, we can only wait for the snow to melt, but how easy is it to have such a thick snow?

Gu Jingyun said indifferently: "It's good that the sun comes out."

"When will the sun come out?"

Gu Jingyun smiled and said nothing, Yuan Shanting shook his head and sighed, and then said: "Zheng Yi should have escaped by now, right?"

"No." Gu Jingyun said firmly.

"how do you know?"

"Guess," Gu Jingyun turned around and said, "Zheng Yi is a suspicious person. He will be afraid that we will find him at various intersections, so he will not take any road after he escapes, but will hide first and wait for a while. When Time felt that we would not hunt him down again, it would stretch out its tentacles to test, and only after confirming that there was no danger would it flee.”

Zheng Yi is not Bai Yitang and Li Baolu, who can overtake four-legged horses with just light work.

At that time, it was already dawn when he fled, and they immediately divided up their troops to chase after him. If he fled along the road, he would definitely be found and caught. So he will definitely find a safe place to hide first, at least to avoid the first wave and the second wave of pursuit.

Of course, they didn't actually send anyone out, but they knew about it. Did Zheng Yi, who was hiding outside in fear, know?

Today and tomorrow he will not escape, and when he wants to escape, heavy snow has completely blocked the road.

Jianghu people are stronger than ordinary people, but no matter how tough they are, they are still human. They will be hungry, cold, tired, panicked, and exhausted.

It was too difficult to find food in such weather, and he didn't dare to light a fire to keep warm in order to avoid the pursuers. Just thinking about it would make Gu Jingyun feel desperate for him.

"His luck was bad, and he encountered a heavy snow day."

Yuan Shanting asked back, "How do you know that Zheng Yi is suspicious?"

"The dart trip that ruined his reputation two years ago, I happened to be on the scene when it was revealed. Although the contact time was short, I was able to use human darts to cover object darts, and I even took a detour," Gu Jingyun wrote. She curled her lips, "Not only is he a bad character, he is suspicious, but he always likes to think he is smart. Of course, he might be smart and immediately escape along the road. After all, people's hearts are the most difficult to calculate. My guess may not be right."

"But even if he escapes, so what? When the imperial court arrests the documents, what good results can he have other than fleeing incognito?"

Yuan Shanting was silent.

"If he doesn't escape, he just stays in the temple and wastes more food. He escaped and helped us solve a big problem, didn't he?"

Yes, but he just didn't like the way Gu Jingyun was holding the wisdom pearl, as if there was nothing in the world that he didn't dare to calculate.

Just as Yuan Shanting pursed his lips, Li Baolu came over with a piece of dried pork in his mouth, grabbed Gu Jingyun and left, and said angrily, "You haven't taken any medicine, do you have to force me to feed you?"

Yuan Shanting saw that Gu Jingyun was dragged away by her in some embarrassment, and the immortal energy just now was completely destroyed.

Yuan Shanting shook his head and smiled, shaking off all the previous unhappiness, so what if he has the pearl in his hands? That's just a smart guy who is afraid of guilt.

Fearful of guilt, Gu Jingyun drank the medicine with a bitter face, and couldn't help affirming again: "I really didn't catch the cold, it's just that my throat was a little dry and itchy."

"It's fine if you're at home. I don't mind letting you use your own immunity to fight hard. At worst, you can take medicine when it gets worse. But this is outside. We don't have many medicinal materials on our bodies, so we still take it when the disease is not serious. Kill it, otherwise what should I do if it gets worse and there is no medicine?"

Gu Jingyun's health is not good, not to mention this era, even with the advanced medical technology in his previous life, many people died of colds and fevers.

In the final analysis, it is four words, "It's too late to send to the doctor!"

Here, Gu Jingyun drank the medicine to prevent the wind and cold happily and distressedly, while Zheng Yi, who was curled up in a snow cave, was shaking his body and sniffing his nose, trying to ignore the discomfort on his body.

He knew that he was sick from the cold and had to keep warm as soon as possible to keep out the cold, but he didn't dare to start a fire, because once a fire was lit, there would be smoke, and it would be very easy for the other party to find him.

He shook his dizzy head, brought the bloody rabbit over from the hole, cut a piece of meat with a sharp stone and stuffed it into his mouth.

All the dry food on his body was taken away, and he also didn't dare to light a fire to roast rabbits, he could only eat raw ones. He told himself in his heart that after tonight, the people in the Town God's Temple might not be in the mood to pursue him anymore. If he is more careful, it shouldn't be difficult to sneak out.

Zheng Yi comforted himself in his heart, but when he saw the snow cave he had dug completely blocked by the heavy snow fluttering in the sky, a sense of despair rose in his heart.

How could this snow be so heavy?

Also anxious about the snow was Sun Zhifu of Kaifeng Prefecture.

Early this morning, letters came from counties under the jurisdiction of Henan one after another. There was rain and snow everywhere, and the area around Runing in Kaifeng had the heaviest snowfall. The reported death toll was as many as twelve people. The number of people who died from freezing.

Then there may be losses due to hunger, cold, house collapse, etc.

The Henan Province in the Central Plains is still like this, and I don't know what is going on in the northern Vietnam.

Sun Zhifu could only arrange for people to rescue the disaster, and at the same time let people report to the court to ask for money, food and cotton clothes for disaster relief.

The letter from Runing Yingzhi County came at this time.

Yingzhi County said that Qin Ge's nephew followed a group of people from Jianghu to the south, and that was where the snow was the thickest. The road was blocked by heavy snow, and no one knew what happened to them.

Only then did Sun Zhifu think of the group of Jianghu people who left in a mighty way not long ago, and immediately shuddered. There were not only Jianghu people there, but also a group of guards with knives. Good military post.

Gu Jingyun is also on the same level as him, and two fourth-rank officials have accidents under his command. Isn't this harmful to him?

The magistrate Sun didn't dare to delay, so he quickly sent another team to look for them along the road they had walked. They were not stingy with food, grass and medicinal materials, and directly loaded two carts.

Sun Zhifu was very busy at the moment, not only had to rescue disasters, but also prevented greater disasters, and now he had to find someone to save them, so he wished he could get away.

The snow has been falling intermittently for two days, but they have been going with the situation all the time. The seemingly carefree knights of the rivers and lakes can't help but look at the sky outside worryingly at this time, not knowing whether they are worrying for themselves or for the common people in the world.

And as the snow fell heavier and longer, the chief guard and the others no longer stopped the Jiang Hu people from letting them go out, as if the secret work mixed among them did not exist.

The Jianghu people were also happy to pretend to be confused, and tested the bottom line of the guards step by step. At first, they only lingered at the gate to let the wind go, and then began to walk farther and farther. Seeing that the guards did not block them, they did not look at them suspiciously. After that, everyone ran away all over the mountain.

After all, it is very annoying to stay in the temple all the time. Everyone can look for prey outside, relax, build a snowman, have a snowball fight and so on.

Early this morning, a few lively chivalrous men opened the gate of the Town God's Temple again. They stretched their waists and took a breath of the cold and fresh air. Seeing that the sky was much clearer, they joked as usual: "Look! Does this look like the sun is about to rise?"

"That's what you said yesterday." One person rolled his eyes at him and said, "You better shut up, as soon as you say there is sun, there will be heavy snow."

"Then I'll tell you that it's going to snow for a while, it's going to snow a lot!"

As soon as the words were finished, they were attacked by the palms of the two, and they laughed and cursed: "Quickly shut your crow's mouth."

The person who was beaten jumped up lightly, and said with a smile in the air: "My family is so wronged, I won't let it go out when the sun is out, and I won't let it go when it's snowing heavily, oh my god, what is this..."

When the knight fell on the snow, he felt that he had stepped on a soft object, which caused his foot to jump up again. He jumped to the other side, stared at the ground he stepped on, and said with trembling lips. : "Yes, yes, people!"
