Chapter 55 Procrastination
"Go to Jingzhao Mansion and find someone to restrain them for them! This is the only thing you can do for them!"
Zheng Wei heard her voice say something coldly to Liu Erlang, then broke free from Liu Erlang's hand and rode forward.
With a 'swipe', Liu Erlang stepped in front of the horse.
Zheng Wei was shocked, tightened the reins and pulled the horse's head around, roaring: "You're crazy!"
The other young masters following Liu Erlang also stopped in front of the horse. Zheng Wei closed her eyes and took a deep breath, "I'm telling you, you can't solve this matter. If you really want to do something, send someone back to report to your father."
, let them enter the palace and say to the saint - Tuoba Yu ran away!"
After saying this, Zheng Wei ran away quickly.
"Tuoba Yu..." Liu Erlang muttered. He just wanted to know who killed his brother. He didn't care what Tuoba Yu did. The next moment, he suddenly realized what Zheng Wei meant, gritted his teeth and cursed secretly.
:"asshole!"
Watching Zheng Wei and the two running away, Liu Erlang said to the youngest of them, Qiao Ye, "My father and the others should not have arrived home yet. You go and report the news. We can't let that wolf cub of Wei escape!"
After Liu Erlang finished speaking, he climbed on his horse and chased in the direction of Zheng Wei.
The others looked at each other, got on their horses, and said bitterly: "We can't let that wolf cub Tuobayu escape!"
When Zheng Wei saw the dozen or so people chasing after him again, he didn't say anything. He just looked at the forked road in front of him and asked, "Does any of you know which way to take to leave Jiankang the fastest?"
Jiankang is too big. Not only is the square and square Jiankang City, but also passes through a noble manor after exiting Dongyang Gate. Further to the southeast, there is Dongfu City guarding them. As long as they are blocked in front of Dongfu City, Tuobayu and the others
Don't even think about escaping Jiankang.
Someone among the young masters replied: "Of course we will take the water route."
Jiankang is surrounded by water on three sides, and waterways extend in all directions. You can be thousands of miles away from Jiankang in just one night by boat.
"Going south along Qingxi River, there is the nearest port. As long as you get on the boat, you can leave Jiankang directly. However, Dongfucheng often sends troops to inspect..."
After the young man finished speaking, he raised his eyes and saw Zheng Wei staring at him. He paused for a moment to react and then drove his horse to lead the way.
After running wildly for half an hour, they finally arrived at the port.
It was already early in the morning, and there was a long queue in front of the port. The porters were carrying goods to the ship.
They dismounted and walked back and forth among the crowd, but could not find Tuoba Yu or the others.
"Will they not take the water route? Or are we too late?"
Someone murmured something and was glared at by everyone.
Zheng Wei walked towards the merchant ship at the port. When Liu Erlang saw this, he quickly caught up and stopped him: "Hey, little... this is their merchant ship, why should we search it?"
Then he lowered his voice and said: "You have to know that there are people behind these large merchant ships, and there are often things on board that cannot see the light. Even if we are walking sideways in Jiankang City, we will be thrown into the river if we mess around here.
It’s for feeding fish.”
As expected, Zheng Wei and the others were stopped in front of the deck, and then a group of guards with long knives ran out and stared at them eagerly.
Reluctantly, Zheng Wei and the others temporarily withdrew.
"Let's go to Dongfu City to find help from the defenders!"
Seeing that everyone was at their wits end, Zheng Heng suggested softly.
This is all we can do for the time being. Zheng Wei hesitated for a moment, then turned to look at Liu Erlang: "Do you know anyone in the city?"
Liu Erlang turned back to look at his brother, and everyone thought for a while: "There should be, but I don't know if he is on duty tonight."
Dongfucheng is located southeast of the port, not far away. Liu Erlang took a few brothers who had acquaintances in Dongfucheng to find someone for help.
Brother Zheng Heng and others were still standing there staring at the big ship.
Suddenly, a figure walked past her carrying a big bag. She squinted her eyes slightly and saw that the figure looked familiar, much like... Wang Changgen from the Wang family at the foot of Dongshan Mountain.
Zheng Wei raised her foot and followed gently for two steps, stopping others from catching up. Then she hid by the shelf next to her, watching Wang Changgen put down the goods and chatting softly with a man dressed as a manager.
Then, Wang Changgen boarded the boat, and the steward shouted: "The boat is sailing!"
A dozen porters carrying goods immediately put down their goods and walked out from the crowd to the ship.
Zheng Wei immediately understood their identities. It was obvious that they were leaving, but how could they stop them with just a few of them.
Do you want to watch them kill so many people and then leave like this?
But, what can be done? How can we hold them back?
Zheng Wei looked at the oil lamps and torches around the port, and then at the cargo piled on the deck of the big ship. She strode forward and pulled out the torches with both hands. Taking advantage of everyone's unpreparedness, she ran to the front of the ship and tried her best to hold the torch.
It was thrown onto the cargo piled on the ship.
The people in front of the ship who had not yet had time to board the ship were shocked by this action. They did not react until the cargo started to burn. Some people were busy putting out the fire, and some even arrested Zheng Wei.
"ignition!"
Zheng Wei quickly ran through the crowd like a little wild cat, dodging the big hands that grabbed her. She picked up a basin of kerosene and turned around to pour it on the person. The person was burned and yelled, wandering around the port randomly.
Struggle up.
Zheng Wei then pulled out the torch and threw it on the boat. Zheng Heng and the others recovered from the shock and followed suit.
The big ship soon caught fire, and the people hiding in the cabin were finally forced out.
Zheng Wei stared closely at the person standing next to Tuobayu. The suspicion in her heart was confirmed, but it also became heavier.
"Since you came uninvited, why did you leave in the first place?"
Zheng Wei actually didn't want to talk. No matter how much they talked, it would be in vain. The blood feud must be repaid with blood. But she was still angry, not because she was deceived, but because she hated them for their unscrupulous methods, for the innocent people who died tragically tonight.
people.
And because of the guilt in my heart that I dare not express openly.
So she still had to make ends meet with them. The longer she delayed, the less likely they would leave.
But Xia Houqing didn't want to get entangled with them. He ordered everyone to seize the time to put out the fire and ordered the boat to sail.
Tuoba Yu smiled and said to Zheng Wei: "Little girl, I have no intention of taking you with me this time..."
"But I must keep you!"
Seeing that the boat was about to move, Zheng Wei ran over quickly and threw a dagger at the man before the boat's deck was closed.
The boatman seemed to be an ordinary person. He was stabbed in the shoulder by Zheng Wei's dagger and fell to the ground in pain.
Zheng Wei took advantage of this and boarded the deck, followed closely by Zheng Heng.
"Brother, go and stop the ship from sailing"
Zheng Wei stood in front of Tuoba Yu and the others and turned to Zheng Heng.
"No, it's too dangerous for you to be alone!"
Zheng Heng disagreed.
"Brother Zheng, don't worry, there are still us..."
Zheng Heng turned around and found that all the young masters and brothers were following him with torches in their hands, and they all looked as if they were about to die.
Tuoba Yu and Xia Houqing's people were busy putting out the fire. No one came to stop them, but instead gave them an opportunity to take advantage of them.
"Please help me take care of my sister!"
Zheng Heng's solemn trust actually made them a little embarrassed. They patted their chests and promised: "Brother Zheng's sister is our sister!"
