Chapter 761: Chasing People Under the Moon
Rumble......
In the middle of the battle, there was a loud rumbling sound, and the earthen house collapsed into a pile of ruins, and before everyone had time to hide, they were buried inside.
When Zhang Yunfan crawled out of the ruins with a disgraced face, he found that the surroundings were dusty, he couldn't see anything at all, and the sound of fighting stopped abruptly. He didn't know what was going on, so he had to release his divine sense to explore the surroundings, and saw that Sun Da had fallen to the ground not far away, and the sword fell beside him, and when he walked over and saw Zhang Yunfan taken aback, he saw that Sun Da's face was blue, and the symptoms were exactly the same as when the strange man was poisoned before.
And the old man is nowhere to be found!
"City Lord Sun, wake up." Zhang Yunfan patted Sun Da's face vigorously, but there was no response, so he had to take out the antidote liquid and feed him to take it.
The rest of the people also crawled out of the rubble one by one and approached, "How is he?" Sotu asked.
Zhang Yunfan sighed and said: "I was poisoned by the corpse poison of the Five Poison Sect, I just fed him an antidote, and he should be fine after resting for a while!" ”
During the conversation, Sun Da woke up quietly, glanced at Zhang Yunfan, and suddenly said with a tense expression: "Quick, the son has been captured by the old man, go and save him." He pointed in one direction and shouted nervously.
It wasn't until this meeting that everyone found out that Mingxi Gongzi had long since disappeared, Suo Tu's face suddenly became nervous, and he shouted at the only two remaining guards next to him: "What are you still doing in a daze, go chase after you!" ”
The two guards woke up like a dream, one by one, as if facing a great enemy, rushed out of the ruins, and chased in the direction of Sun Da's finger just now. The rest of the people carried Sun Da out with all hands and feet, and found a spacious place to lay the person flat on the ground.
According to Sun Da's recollection, it was not the battle that was too fierce just now to collapse the earthen house, but the old man did it deliberately, the moment the earthen house collapsed, the old man waved his hand at him, and a black mist appeared out of thin air, wrapping his whole person in it, and then he felt a spinning dizziness, and when he fell to the ground, he saw the old man rushing towards Mingxi Gongzi.
Now that things are clear, it turns out that Zhang Yunfan's guess is completely correct, the old man Bacheng is a person sent by the Sima family, and this person actually knows how to control the bone eaters of the Five Poison Gate, and he fully understands that he is a remnant of the Five Poison Gate, but he helps the Sima family to do things, which proves that the Sima family has colluded with the Five Poison Gate, and the rebellion will be justified.
"Now it seems that the old man just now should be a member of the Five Poison Sect......" Zhang Yunfan made a personal guess, "If my expectations are good, the old man catches Mingxi Gongzi, and he should go to the ice lake, so as long as we chase down in this direction, we will definitely be able to find Mingxi Gongzi, but the time is urgent, the other party's cultivation is not low, and he knows how to resist the sword, if they are allowed to enter the ice lake, it will be difficult to rescue Mingxi Gongzi, so we have to catch up as soon as possible." ”
Sun Da said dejectedly: "Among us, I am the only one who can cultivate to compete with the remnants of the Five Poison Sect, but now I am injured, and you are sent to death if you go!" ”
Suotu was stubborn, showing an expression of not being afraid of death, "Even if you send you to death, you have to go, you may not be able to save your son, but if you don't go, your son will be in danger, and I am afraid that he will be killed by the rebels." ”
At this time, the two guards who tracked out ran back, all of them looked depressed, and they didn't see the figure of the old man, guessing that they were chasing in the wrong direction, and came back to wait for further arrangements.
Zhang Yunfan sighed and said: "There is no other way now, I will take the guards to investigate the situation first, you take care of Master Sun here, and when he recovers, he will come to pick me up immediately." ”
Duanmu Xianyue took a step forward: "I'll go with you." ”
Dan Qiusheng, who had been speechless, also stepped forward and said with a smile: "Brother Tiger, why is there less of me, if Senior Brother Zhang doesn't dislike me and get in the way, take me with you." ”
"Okay, let's get it together." Zhang Yunfan nodded, and said to Doctor Suotu: "Master Suo, we have to plan for the worst, in case Prince Mingxi is brought into the ice lake, it will be difficult to rescue him with my cultivation alone, and I have to rely on the help of City Lord Sun, taking care of him is very important to rescue Prince Mingxi, so I will leave it to you here." ”
Suo Tu is old, he is good at applying medicine to save people, his own cultivation is not very high, and he can't help much, and he himself knows this very well, so he didn't force it, but his expression was extremely solemn, "Master Zhang, this matter is very important, please be sure to rescue Mingxi Gongzi, please!" ”
At this time, Suo Tu did not know that Zhang Yunfan had been enshrined as Longwei, and Mingxi Gongzi deliberately concealed this matter, just to keep a hand in secret, and also for Zhang Yunfan's safety.
"Lord Suo is polite, our group came here together, how can there be any reason to abandon our companions, that would be too unrighteous, so please rest assured, Lord Suo, we will definitely do our best to rescue Prince Mingxi." Zhang Yunfan's words as a friend almost moved Suo Tu to tears.
When I came to this deserted village, it was already evening, I had a meal, I was trapped in the dark room, and now the sun was already setting in the west, and it was approaching dusk, in order not to delay the time, Zhang Yunfan and his party set off immediately.
Since there was only one horse, Zhang Yunfan and Mu Xianyue were still riding together, and Dan Qiusheng and the other two guards all walked forward on foot, heading straight for the direction of the ice lake.
"This son really has a hand, and he really got this married woman." Looking at the two people who were riding on horseback and setting off first, Dan Qiusheng felt admiration in his heart, and at the same time a little envy, but he could only swallow his saliva secretly.
The cloud-riding horse galloped towards the direction of the ice lake, and soon ran for more than a mile, and the night fell completely, and in the darkness, the two saw the fire in the distance, and their hearts were shocked, and they jumped off the horseback, and the two hid behind a sand dune, observing the fire in the distance.
"That's the light of the torches, moving towards us, could it be the ones chasing us?" Duanmu Xianyue immediately thought of the pursuers.
Zhang Yunfan stared at the front, and said with a cautious expression: "Bacheng is chasing soldiers, these grandsons are really persistent enough, but the top priority now is to save people, let them go for the time being, so as not to delay time." ”
Duanmu Xianyue thought of something and frowned, "If we leave like this, what if Master Dan and they encounter these people?" ”
"This ...... They're not that bad, are they? Zhang Yunfan smiled bitterly, "However, yours is right, if you are not afraid of 10,000, you are afraid of what happens, it is better to stay here and wait for Master Dan to come over, and then find me in the direction of the ice lake after the convergence, I will leave marks along the way." Before leaving, Zhang Yunfan took out a bottle of charm powder and a bottle of antidote to Duanmu Xianyue.
"This is psychedelics, when they come, you divide the antidote, and in case of emergency, use psychedelics to fascinate those grandchildren."
There is only one way to do it now, Duanmu Xianyue nodded silently, seeing that Zhang Yunfan was about to step on the back of the horse and leave, she couldn't help but instruct: "Then you pay attention to safety, if you really can't do it, just run, don't fight hard." ”
Zhang Yunfan was stunned for a moment, then smiled and teased: "Okay daughter-in-law, I know, you have to pay attention to safety, I'm leaving." ”
Under Duanmu Xianyue's angry gaze, Zhang Yunfan shuddered, and hurriedly kicked the stirrup and ran forward, and after he left, Duanmu Xianyue couldn't help but reach out and touch his hot cheeks, bit his red lip, and whispered: "Stinky rascal!" ”
She said so, but there was a dark tide surging in her heart, and there was a slight throbbing inexplicably, until a rough face suddenly popped up in her mind, and her restless heart suddenly cooled, and the temperature dropped to freezing.
The moonlight in the desert and the sea have a very similar thing in common, that is, it can bring people an extremely shocking feeling, looking up will produce a feeling that the moon wheel is just above the head as if it is within reach, this feeling is not felt anywhere else.
The moonlight casts a brilliant light, a man and a horse gallop in the yellow sand, running for about three miles, according to Zhang Yunfan's estimate, this is not far from the ice lake, and you should be able to reach the ice lake in half an hour, that is, if you fail to catch up with the old man in this half an hour, then you will be busy with a wild run just now.
But after running for an afternoon, the cloud treading horse was already tired enough, you must know that it had been carrying two people running before, during which it only rested in the deserted village for less than an hour, and now it has been running for so long, although the cloud treading horse is more powerful than half of the horses, but it is also tired, and its physical fitness has reached the limit.
"Ma, Ma, how can you drop the chain at a critical time, you are too weak!" Zhang Yunfan couldn't help sighing, but Tayunju was really tired, and he didn't want to move as soon as he stopped, so Zhang Yunfan had no choice but to take out the beast pill he had refined before, feed it one, and pour a large pot of water into it.
"Like flowers and blacks, you're also a foodie." Zhang Yunfan smiled bitterly and allowed Tayunju to rest for a while, and he himself took the opportunity to drink some water.
The lack of water in the desert is a very normal situation, even the monks are difficult to resist the invasion of high temperatures, and they must replenish water in time to avoid dehydration, otherwise there will be very serious consequences, such as hallucinations, which is a very normal situation, but once encountered, it will be troublesome.
After resting for a while, Tayunju regained his energy, stretched out his head to rub Zhang Yunfan's cheek, took the initiative to show goodwill, and was eager to try and prepare to perform.
Seeing this, Zhang Yunfan responded, touched its hair, grabbed the reins and straddled the horse's back, stepped on the cloud horse with a long roar, raised its front hooves and galloped into the distance, more than twice as fast as before.
Although Zhang Yunfan had been trying very hard to catch up, he still couldn't catch up with the old man flying with Edgeworth in half an hour, until he tracked down a sand dune on the periphery of the ice lake, and watched a streamer fly into the forest where the ice lake was located, and disappeared without a trace.
"Damn cultivation, Edgeworth......" Zhang Yunfan let out a lament, at this moment he deeply realized how helpless it was to lack cultivation.
The streamer is clearly emitted by the old man's sword, and now he has escaped into the ice lake, and if he wants to save people, he can only take the risk and sneak in.
It's just that now Zhang Yunfan has only one person, and it is not easy to sneak into the ice lake, the vicinity of the ice lake is heavily guarded, and it is not possible to enter each other, it doesn't matter if one is accidentally exposed, it will be troublesome to startle the snake, so you must come up with a way to get the best of both worlds.
Hiding behind the sand dunes and thinking for a long time, all kinds of methods have been passed through in his mind, such as digging tunnels to drill into, this method is feasible, but it takes a certain amount of time to actually operate, and now is the time to race against time, and if you delay too long, I am afraid that it will be too late.
Putting aside the plan of the tunnel, he immediately thought of the art of war to divert the tiger from the mountain, deliberately created chaos, and took advantage of the chaos to blend in, but this method is more risky, if it is found out, the people inside will take precautions and set a trap in the camp, but they will put themselves in.
After thinking about it for a while, Zhang Yunfan couldn't come up with a practical solution, just as he frowned and pondered, a voice suddenly sounded in the distance, and he looked at it by the moonlight, and it turned out to be a group of patrol soldiers.
"It seems that yesterday's incident aroused their alarm, so they increased their perimeter patrols." Zhang Yunfan secretly had a guess, and at the same time had a thought, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise upward.
He led the cloud horse backwards, crept out of the sand dunes, came to a valley of sand, took out a pen and paper and wrote "Safe and sound, wait for the signal!" A few words, stuffed the note into an empty medicine bottle, hid it under the saddle, and said to Tayun Ju: "Bai, now I will give you a glorious and arduous task, lurk here, wait for Duanmu Xianyue and them to come, if you get things done, come back and reward you with a pill." ”
The Yunju is an extraordinary thing, with a certain spirituality, knows how to give simple instructions, and the temptation of the beast pill naturally obeys his words.
After arranging the aftermath, Zhang Yunfan got up and left the place, went to track the previous patrol soldiers, hung behind and observed for a long time, until a certain one found an opportunity, the patrol team walked around for most of the circle, the leader announced that he would rest in place, and two guards took the opportunity to go to the convenience, and Zhang Yunfan touched it when he saw this opportunity.
"Tiezhu, there's something wrong with your place, didn't you just let go of the water before, why did you come again?"
"you, this hellish place is hot and cold, I can't make a stomach."
"I'm with you, I also had a stomach trouble with the first few people who came, and then I went to Master Sato to ask for a health pill, and now it's all right......"
Burst......
The guard was mysterious, and the man with a stomach next to him suddenly let out a stinky fart, and then shouted: "No, no, it's coming...... and he squatted down.
The peeing guard almost vomited without nausea, lest he avoid it, and ran away to pee in the distance, leaving the stomach troubled guard squatting on the sand, and there was a muffled thunderous sound under him, and he kept moaning heartily.
