Turbulent Times Chapter 1194: To the point of death

Wang Junlin's plan was to sneak out of the city directly after getting rid of the pursuers behind him, and join the five thousand cavalry led by Luo Shixin.

As long as Wang Junlin is among the 5,000 cavalry, unless Yang Guang wants to kill him and dispatch more than 50,000 troops, he will be absolutely safe!

But what he didn't expect was that the chasing soldiers didn't just follow the tunnel all the way, but another cavalry would guess that he left at the East City Gate, and came directly towards the East City Gate!

Seeing that the pursuers were only tens of feet away from them, Wang Junlin quickly led the crowd to speed up the pace.

Now they turned their heads and hid in the densely populated city of Luoyang, mingling among the crowds, but it was too late, because if they turned their heads, they would be bumped into by those cavalrymen, so they could only leave the city now!

Fortunately, the officers and soldiers at the gate of the city were not controlled by the opponent, they just pointed at the cavalry who were chasing up behind them, as if they didn't know what happened.

…

After leaving Luoyang City, Wang Junlin led the people to flee to the northeast of Luoyang City with all their strength. According to Shen Guang, the 5,000 people led by Luo Shixin headed northeast.

Wang Junlin knew very well in his heart that whether he could escape unscathed would depend on how fast they could run and the route Wang Junlin chose.

The route Wang Junlin chose was of course rather strange. He avoided the main road as much as possible along the way, and used all the mountains, rivers and trees to hide his figure, and asked Shen Guang to eliminate all traces of the group of people behind.

However, when they galloped all the way to the northeast for more than ten miles, they faintly heard a heavy and dense sound of horseshoes coming from behind!

"He didn't get rid of the pursuers, and there are peerless masters who are good at tracking behind him. Now it's a little troublesome." Wang Junlin's expression became more and more dignified.

Wang Junlin knew that the next road to escape might not go very far!

Running all the way just now, he thought about what happened today, and the more he thought about it, the more surprised he was that the enemy was always following them closely.

Because this is not just a factor of tracking masters, first of all, only if the opponent knows in advance that he will leave Luoyang City today, can he set up this big net in advance.

But there are not many people who know that they are leaving Luoyang today, and they are all people they can absolutely trust.

The three people beside me, Shen Guang, Zhang Tiangang, and Chong Yao, would never betray themselves, nor would the eldest princess Yang Lihua.

Yang Guang and the people around him are probably big speakers. There are probably no secrets about the affairs in the palace. In such a short period of time until I left the imperial city, it was not enough to lay such a big net.

Maybe the opponent could have been preparing for the mobilization of manpower and troops in the city, but the kidnapping of Luo Shixin's parents and the step of drawing Luo Shixin and the five thousand cavalry away were too late in terms of time.

No, there is another person, Pei Yuanqing.

During the prisoner presentation ceremony the day before yesterday, Wang Junlin had inadvertently told Pei Yuanqing that he would leave Luoyang City as soon as the matter here was over.

"Pei Yuanqing...will never betray me, let alone plot against me with others."

"But after Pei Shiju learned from Pei Yuanqing that I was going to leave Luoyang City as soon as possible...Pei Shiju is an old fox, known as a tumbler of the imperial court, he is cunning and cunning, but because of this, he will never choose to murder me at this time , not to mention that Pei Shiju and I have formed an alliance in secret, behind Pei Shiju there is the Wenxi Pei clan, and even the entire Hedong gentry, so they would never be so rash."

"However... What is certain is that the news should have leaked from Pei Yuanqing."

Wang Junlin had a vague inference in his heart, but he was not sure yet.

It's just that he didn't have time to think about it in the future. The other party knew in advance that he was leaving Luoyang today and set up a careful network in advance. Catching up with them may have become inevitable.

If Nie Xiaoyu was in the predicament at this time, with his precise and terrifying calculation ability, he would definitely be able to find the gap in this big net and escape quietly, but unfortunately everything on Snake Island and the salt field is too important and needs Nie Xiaoyu Guard, otherwise Wang Junlin would not feel at ease to come to Luoyang.

Seeing that the pursuers behind were less than three or four miles away from them, Wang Junlin knew that now he wanted to rely on speed to escape

The other party was almost impossible. While running fast, his mind was spinning wildly, trying to quickly find a way out!

Suddenly, an inspiration flashed in Wang Junlin's mind, he stopped abruptly, changed direction and continued running wildly.

The direction Wang Junlin chose was the rolling Yellow River.

When Shen Guang, Jing Tian, ​​Chong Yao and others saw this, their hearts sank. They ran in other directions, but there was still a glimmer of life. The cavalry fought recklessly.

However, although everyone doubted it, they still chose to follow Wang Junlin without hesitation.

In the direction where Wang Junlin led the crowd, there was nothing but a river beach covered with reeds.

Everyone thought that Wang Junlin wanted to jump into the river to escape, but they were in the water, how could they pass the cavalry by the river faster, and as long as they jumped into the river, it would not take long for these cavalry to send messages everywhere , the person in charge of the other party will soon mobilize countless boats in this river to drive them to a dead end.

If it is night now, they may still escape by taking advantage of the other party's unclear vision, but how can they escape in broad daylight now?

While everyone was worried, Wang Junlin had already led them all the way to the edge of the Yellow River, and used the embankment to hide them from the sight of the pursuers for a while.

"Remove the footprints on the edge of the river, and then everyone will follow my example, get a reed pipe for ventilation, and then enter the water." Wang Junlin quickly broke off a reed pipe while talking Biting it in his mouth, he entered the Yellow River.

Others were overjoyed to see this, and after clearing away the footprints, they followed Wang Junlin's example, broke a reed tube, bit one end, jumped into the Yellow River, kept the other end above the river, and entered in the river.

After the river beach became quiet again, the cavalry of about a thousand people also chased after it.

In the river, Wang Junlin and his party heard the sound of horseshoes on the embankment near them.

Afterwards, a group of cavalrymen galloped along the river embankment, upstream and downstream, as if they were looking for their traces.
