The light horses rushing down from the top of the mountain swept like a strong wind, setting off bursts of dark clouds of dust and haze, rolling in.

The medicine collection team suddenly separated, the chasing light cavalry stopped abruptly when they saw this, the people and horses scattered and hesitated for a moment, and suddenly gathered and pursued in the direction of Lei Shaoxuan's escape, like the sound of thunder's horses' hooves, piercing the night sky.

The pursuing party soon ran into the snake, and a group of people flipped on their backs, and the rapid horses stopped suddenly, falling to the ground, and making a heavy slamming sound.

Exclamations, screams, and screams rang out behind him, and they were as terrible as hell, palpitating, and faded away.

"Driving, driving......"

The four of them beat their horses and galloped wildly, and the horses accelerated sharply and rushed out like arrows.

After a while, there was a faint sound of thunder and horses' hooves behind him.

Lei Shaoxuan knew that the pursuing light cavalry was delayed by the Teng Snake for a while, and quickly caught up.

Aimless, without knowing the direction, Lei Shaoxuan and the four of them fled.

Eight horses galloped through the field, piercing the night like arrows.

However, Lei Shaoxuan knew in his heart that now the fast horse was galloping wildly in the open land by the lake, and there were valleys in the endless snow-capped mountains at the end of the open land, and the valley roads were narrow, which was not conducive to escaping, and only by separating as soon as possible would there be more chances of survival.

A long-awaited thought rose in Lei Shaoxuan's heart, and he fled separately and returned to the Northern Wei Dynasty.

The four of them glanced at each other, had a tacit understanding, each led their horses, suddenly separated, and sprinted towards the unknown valley.

For the first time, Lei Shaoxuan felt that the moonlight was disgusting, and the red cloak under the moonlight was so eye-catching that it made Lei Shaoxuan the main target of pursuit, attracting the team behind him, and there was always a haze of dust behind him.

Looking back at the light horses rushing like a tide, Lei Shaoxuan was ruthless in his heart: "Come on, you have the ability to follow me to the ends of the earth." ”

Every half an hour, Lei Shaoxuan changed horses and rode, his speed did not decrease, and he slowly left the pursuing team behind.

The monotonous mechanical bumps, the undivided attention all the time, the sprinting of the horse with all his might, and the long gallop made Lei Shaoxuan sore, his bones seemed to be falling apart, and his mind was blank and numb.

The speed of the horses gradually slowed down, panting, and foaming at the mouth, Lei Shaoxuan understood that the two horses were about to reach the limit of their physical strength.

The sound of horses' hooves could no longer be heard behind him, and his heart was relieved, so he couldn't help but loosen the reins and let the horse go on its own.

At this point, he had the opportunity to take a closer look at his surroundings.

One man and two horses, marching in an unknown valley, the slopes on both sides gradually became desolate, with no grass and only snow.

The cliffs on both sides were steep and impossible to climb at all, so Lei Shaoxuan had only the only way to escape - to keep running forward.

The sound of horses' hooves is gone, but an eagle is always hovering high in the sky.

He is not out of danger yet, and the future is uncertain, but he can only work hard to move forward.

Lei Shaoxuan tried to find the direction, but there was only one road in the valley, and there was no way to choose the way forward.

The sky was dark, Lei Shaoxuan felt extremely tired, his whole body was sore and weak, he could barely sit on the saddle, and his mind was full of thoughts about stopping and resting, but when he looked into the distance, the eagle was still hovering in the sky, and he couldn't help but feel depressed, so he had to grit his teeth and bow his head and continue to move forward.

It was sore for a long time, and gradually turned into numbness, and my mind went blank, leaving only one thought.

- Go, go......

After running for a few hours, before I knew it, I ran out of the snow-capped mountain, and suddenly a desert appeared in front of me.

Looking up, the eyes are full of withered yellow Gobi, with clusters of sparse wild grass, and occasionally strange rocks standing, which is quite desolate and lonely.

The sky was gray, and the sun seemed to sink into thick mud, faintly revealing layers of yellow halos.

Lei Shaoxuan looked around, he couldn't distinguish the direction at all, and at some point, the snow-capped mountains behind him were no longer visible.

The two horses were exhausted, panting, foaming at the mouth, and walked with their heads down.

Lei Shaoxuan was tired and hungry, his legs trembled, he found a stone and sat down, took out the jerky, barely ate a meal, let go of the reins, and let the horse graze on its own.

Thoughts, worries, exhaustion, numbness...... Heavy emotions were entangled in his mind, which made Lei Shaoxuan upset.

Gradually, all the cranky thoughts condensed into one thought, escape!

But my heart is slowly occupied by anxiety, and I can't discern the direction, how can I escape?

Alone in the wilderness, Lei Shaoxuan had never had similar experience.

There is no way to think about it, Lei Shaoxuan smiled bitterly in his heart and came to this conclusion.

Since I can't think about it, I don't want to do it at all, so I let the two horses walk freely.

Lei Shaoxuan listened to Yuan Wenbo's knowledge of military strategy, and knew that there was a story about an old horse who knew the way, and hoped that these two horses would help him find the direction and find a place where people lived.

The two horses graze with their heads bowed and walk aimlessly.

It's spring, but the scenery seems to be different from the grassland spring, the grass is withered and yellow, there is no trace of spring, Lei Shaoxuan has been walking for a long time, but he hasn't seen a touch of green.

The air was dry, which made people feel bored, and Lei Shaoxuan's mood became depressed.

The two horses strolled unhurriedly, unable to see the feeling of finding their direction, staring at the horses for a long time with vague expectations, Lei Shaoxuan felt a little drowsy.

One man, two horses, just walking.

After a long time, the gray sky did not change at all, and even the sun always seemed to glow in one place.

Lei Shaoxuan was tired and thirsty, he brought two days' rations, but he only had a pot of water, and the skin bag containing the water was not large, so he drank it all quickly.

At this time, Lei Shaoxuan deeply understood a problem for the first time, thirst is more uncomfortable than hunger.

His throat was hot and dry, his face was haggard, his skin was dry, his lips were cracked, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Lei Shaoxuan took off his cloak and leather coat and put it on the saddle, looking like a homeless man.

The scenery did not change in the slightest, so that Lei Shaoxuan could not know the time, but his body was exhausted, and according to the level of fatigue, Lei Shaoxuan estimated that he had walked for at least one day.

The surrounding space is gray, and you can't see the distance, which makes it extremely difficult or even impossible to find food and water. If you don't even have directions, how do you find food?

Just as Lei Shaoxuan was getting more and more restless, suddenly the horse stopped, sneezed, and ran forward, and after a while, a river appeared in front of him.

Lei Shaoxuan was pleasantly surprised.

It is a small river that is common in the steppe.

Most of the grassland rivers are formed by melting snow, and the snow water rushes down from the high mountains, so although the rivers are small, the water flow is fast.

Sure enough, there is no endless road, Lei Shaoxuan secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Where there is a river, there are fish, there is food, and if you walk along the river, you can get out of this place and go home.

Lei Shaoxuan's irritable and tired mood was swept away, and he couldn't help but look up to the sky and howl, rushed forward, threw himself into the river, and churned.

"Hey, why are you okay?" Suddenly, a voice sounded behind Lei Shaoxuan.

Lei Shaoxuan was startled, and he didn't know when, a Taoist priest appeared on the shore silently, looking at him.

This person was wearing a cyan robe, his beard was white, his long beard was flowing, his face was clear and introverted, and he looked kind and kind.

Glancing at the Taoist priest, Lei Shaoxuan couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

"Is that you?" Lei Shaoxuan was a little surprised and asked, "Dao Chief, why are you here?"

"Do you know me?" the Taoist priest asked in surprise, raising his eyebrows.

"On the day of the attack on Longcheng, I let go of two Hu women and clashed with the guards at the West City Gate, which coincided with the Taoist chief going out of the city with General Feng. ”

"You are really a Hu person, no wonder you let Hu women go privately!" said the Taoist priest suddenly realized.

"I'm not a Hu person!" Lei Shaoxuan waved his hand and said disapprerovingly.

Lei Shaoxuan will carry out the assassination mission, pretend to be a Hu person, and go to Hu Di to tell the details of the matter, skipping the matter of collecting the Nine Rank Heavenly Heart Lotus.

Born in a death row camp, Lei Shaoxuan has seen deceitful and only talked to strangers, not to mention that the appearance of this person here is a strange thing in itself.

Hearing Lei Shaoxuan's bizarre story, the Taoist priest was a little surprised.

"I know about the assassination of the second prince, Yelu Dailiang, but the forward battalion has received news that all those involved in the assassination have been arrested and executed. The Taoist priest secretly marveled.

"What does it mean that the Taoist chief asked me why I'm okay just now?" Lei Shaoxuan suddenly remembered the words of the Taoist priest, and felt a little strange.

"This river is called the Qiangling River, and I don't know where it came from or where it's going. The river is highly poisonous, but I don't know why you're okay?" said the Taoist priest with a surprised expression on his face.

"But the horse is fine. Lei Shaoxuan was quite strange when he heard this, and pointed to the two horses drinking water on the shore.

"I understand, this river is only poisonous to monks! When the river water is stained with spiritual energy, it turns into poison, but it is harmless to mortals!"

Seeing Lei Shaoxuan's puzzled expression, the Taoist priest suddenly pulled out his sword, the tip of the sword was dipped in water, and a drop was dropped on the back of his hand, the skin on the back of his hand suddenly turned black and festered, and the wound spread rapidly.

The Taoist priest hurriedly shook off the water droplets, used his exercises to heal his wounds, and the skin on the back of his hand recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Lei Shaoxuan was shocked when he saw this, and hurriedly jumped ashore, checked carefully, and found that he was safe and sound, and he was relieved, but he was still frightened and happy.
