Chapter Thirty-Four: The Green Wind Horse
"Two hundred miles away from this official road all the way to the west, is the famous Yunxia Mountain Range, which stretches for thousands of miles, spanning the two borders of Quanzhou and Yunzhou. As soon as we entered this mountain range, our hopes of escape were greatly increased. Shi Mu replied without thinking.
"Yunxia Mountain's words are indeed a good place for us to escape. But it's still a long time before I get there, and I don't know if I'll be caught up by the people of the Jin family on the way? After all, I heard that those family families have specially cultivated spirit horses, which are far from being comparable to our two ordinary horses. Hearing this, Zhong Xiu asked with a light in his eyes.
"It can't be helped. Although after the accident, I left Fengcheng with you, and it should be more than half a day longer than them, but whether the other party can catch up and enter the Yunxia Mountain Range, I can't say for sure, so I can only try desperately. Seed girl, you sit down. I'll pick up a little bit more and hope that these two horses will be able to keep going for more than 100 miles. Shi Mu said solemnly.
Hearing Shi Mu say this, Zhong Xiu was still a little worried in his heart, but he hurriedly lowered the curtain and sat back in the carriage.
The next moment, the whip in Shi Mu's hand suddenly whipped on the two horses, and suddenly the two black horses neighed, and the speed of the gallop increased by two points.
Not long after, the gray carriage turned into a black dot on the official road and finally disappeared at the end.
......
At the same time, at the west gate of Fengcheng, a carriage covered with black cloth drove from the city.
Pulling the carriage is a three-headed strange horse with a fiery red body and a mane like a flame, which is the famous flame-chasing horse among the spirit horses. I heard that this spirit horse has a burst temperament, and it can not only be used as a mount, but can travel thousands of miles a day, and if it has a temperament, it can even breathe fire in its mouth and hurt the enemy, which is very rare.
At the front of the carriage sat a blue-clad coachman wielding a swarthy and shiny whip, and behind the carriage were three other knights riding strange red horses.
One of them, with a long face and a short beard, and a face full of grief, was none other than Jin Wuye. The other two, one wearing a yellow cloth shirt with pointed ears and monkey gills, were more than four feet tall, like a large horse monkey squatting on a horse. One was unusually tall, dressed in a silver robe, with eyes as bright as an eagle.
Three riders and one car, all of them looked like they were burning their butts, and they didn't stop speeding by the wind from the west gate.
But they had not gone far before the man, who looked like a monkey, would jump off his horse, make out some of the marks that had just appeared on the road, and then jump on his horse again and continue on his way.
......
"The fifth child of the Jin family has already set off with the second pounce of the dog eagle!. Very well, let's start from the north gate as well. At that time, as long as they go around in a circle, they can catch up with Shi Mu one step ahead of them. Although the Blood Dog and the Bluehead Eagle are good at tracking, where is there such a better use as Thyme. We have already put down thyme on the stone herd carriage. Near the north gate, a team of more than ten knights had been waiting there for a long time, and the first brocade-robed man immediately laughed and said when he heard the servant in front of him reply.
"Third uncle, if we catch Shi Mu earlier than the Jin family this time, we must let me break his leg first. A young man in the team with an arrogant face said with his fists rubbed his hands.
This group of people is Wu Tong, the third elder of the Wu family, and Wu Hua, who originally had a marriage contract with the Zhong family.
Coincidentally, because the Wu family planned to wait for the martial arts academy to test before sending someone to Shi Mu to kidnap Zhong Xiu, they had been secretly sending people to quietly monitor the movements of Shi Mu's manor during this time, and naturally knew the news that Jin Tian was mistakenly killed by Shi Mu for the first time.
In this way, the Wu family, who was still a little jealous of Shi Mu's identity, was naturally completely relieved, and immediately formed a tracking team led by the third elder of the Wu family, preparing to seize the front of the Jin family and hijack Zhong Xiu back first.
As for Wu Hua is also in the team, it is naturally because he took the initiative to ask for it.
The Wu family's team of knights, riding under them is also some kind of specially cultivated spirit horse, all of them are cyan, their fur is abnormally shiny, and they are vaguely shrouded in a layer of blue light, which is another famous Qingfeng horse in the spirit horse.
This kind of spirit horse is said to have some blood of the wind fox, once running to the extreme, the four legs can generate wind on their own, and it is one of the fastest spirit horses.
This is also the confidence of the Wu family to be sure to catch up with the Jin family and block Shi Mu.
After a while, the knights of the Wu family also swarmed out of the north gate, and after copying a small road, they quickly rushed to the front of the Jin family and chased them straight in the direction where Shi Mu had fled.
At this time, most of the other forces in Fengcheng had already received the news that Jin Tian was mistakenly killed by Shi Mu, although this matter surprised many people, but soon the pond was drowned in various discussions about the martial arts test.
......
Half a day later.
The sky was dark, and the gray carriage continued to run wildly on the official road, but the speed had gradually slowed down.
There are some small hills on both sides of the official road, but they are faint in the night, and the silence is unusual.
Shi Mu's face was gloomy, and he kept waving his leather whip, but the two black horses in front of him were just spewing hot air, and the speed couldn't be accelerated by half a minute at all.
"Brother Shi, this won't work. The horses had been running for so long that they were almost exhausted, and they had to rest a little. Zhong Xiu's voice came from the carriage.
"Of course I know the horses are dying, but now every moment we are stranded we may be overtaken by the pursuers behind us. Shi Mu replied with a wry smile.
"But now even if you kill the horses, it won't help at all, so let's rest and let them eat before they hit the road. Zhong Xiu continued to persuade.
"You have a point. I have other follow-ups, but they're really reaching their limits now. Then we will rest for half an hour in the woods over there, and we will eat some together. Shi Mu looked at the two black horses that were sweating profusely, and could only nod in agreement.
Then he tugged on the reins, causing the two black horses to turn their heads, and went directly down the official road and ran to a nearby wood.
However, it is clear that both of them have underestimated the true strength of the legendary spirit foal.
When he arrived at the edge of the woods, Shi Mufang untied the reins of the two black horses and helped Zhong Xiu down from the carriage, when he suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves like a torrential rain on the official road not far away, and he could vaguely hear the sound of wanton laughter.
"Haha, the smelling worm has reacted. They're just a short distance ahead!"
"You, you must stay and wait for me after capturing Shi Mu, I will do it myself. ”
The group of people came so fast that the sound of horses' hooves was much closer as they spoke.
"It's not good, the pursuers are coming, let's go. As soon as Shi Mu heard this, he didn't know what was going on, so he immediately shouted angrily, hugged Zhong Xiu by the waist, and rushed directly into the woods.
The person who chased after him was naturally a knight of the Jin family riding a Qingfeng horse.
They relied on the Qingfeng Horse, which sat down and was even faster than the Flame Chasing Horse, and the scent of Thyme Fragrance, and they chased Shi Mu in just half a day.
(It's snowing today, and as a result, our little body has a cold again, and the headache is really bad!)
