Chapter 227: Chasing the Enemy in the Mountains
Yang Yun took Chi Mu'er and some of the guards along the mountain road in the middle and chased forward quickly.
It is said that the mountain road in the middle is easy to walk, but it is only relative, and this road may be often walked by hunters, woodcutters and herb pickers on weekdays, so there is a faintly recognizable path.
After walking along this road for more than a while, I suddenly heard a rustling sound in front of me, and someone should be walking in front of me.
Seeing this, Yang Yun hurriedly made a gesture to the guards beside him, signaling everyone not to make a sound and find a place to hide.
Yang Yun and the others hid behind a few trees on the side of the road for a long time, and a figure stumbled into everyone's sight.
Yang Yun fixed his eyes and saw that the figure that appeared was known to him, and this was a small leader among the female soldiers under Duanmu Jiyue. Although I don't know what her name is, she often follows Duanmu Jiyue, and Yang Yun has seen her before.
"Why are you here alone? Where did Duanmu lead them? Seeing this female soldier, Yang Yun hurriedly walked out and asked her.
A group of figures suddenly appeared in the bushes, startling the female soldier who was traveling alone, and when she saw clearly that it was Yang Yun and the others, she immediately became excited.
"Your Highness, go and rescue Duanmu and lead them, they were caught by Yang Hong's guy." The female soldier grabbed Yang Yun's sleeve and said anxiously.
"Don't worry, tell us first, what is the current situation, right?" Yang Yun said softly.
The female soldier was obviously frightened, and in a hurry, she didn't explain the matter clearly for a long time, Yang Yun and the guards asked for a long time, and finally barely figured out what happened.
It turned out that Duanmu Jiyue took a few female soldiers and chased along the mountain road. Just ahead, not far away, some people suddenly came out and surrounded them. Even the hunter who led the way for Duanmu Jiyue and the others turned out to be their people.
The other party is a group of men, the leader is the former Yang family patriarch Yang Hong, there is a thirty-year-old right man next to him, seeing this person's appearance, Duanmu Jiyue immediately recognized that this man is Zhong Wentao, the behind-the-scenes organizer of a series of sabotage activities in Yang County.
Although Duanmu Jiyue has never seen Zhong Wentao, in the fiefdom counties, his portraits abound, and Duanmu Jiyue has long remembered the appearance of this person in her heart.
The other party is a group of men, and the number of people is more than Duanmu Jiyue's, but Duanmu Jiyue has always been a person who is not afraid of things, and he fights with them with his female soldiers.
It didn't take long for the battle to go, Duanmu Jiyue and his female soldiers were obviously at a disadvantage, seeing that the culprit who caused a series of sabotage activities in the fiefdom was in front of him, but there was no way to catch him, which made Duanmu Jiyue extremely depressed.
Some of her female soldiers were soon injured, although Duanmu Jiyue's personality was a little impulsive, but she was not a stupid person, seeing that the situation was unfavorable to herself, she immediately organized her female soldiers to attack desperately in the direction of coming, wanting to lead everyone to break out of the encirclement.
But the other party was obviously prepared, Duanmu Jiyue and the others had just broken through a gap, and these people chased after them closely.
The roads in the mountains are not easy to follow, and although these women are trained, they are still very slow. Although Duanmu Jiyue ran desperately with everyone, she still couldn't get rid of her opponent.
Seeing that the pursuers were getting closer and closer, Duanmu Jiyue knew that she would not be able to retreat today, so she asked a female soldier who often walked in the mountains and was relatively fast to run back to report the news. I had to take the rest of the female soldiers, turn around and fight with the enemy who was chasing, and try to buy time for the female soldiers who reported the news.
Hearing the female soldier's statement, Yang Yun immediately became anxious, but he didn't expect that what he was most worried about really happened.
"Brothers, let's catch up with them harder, we must not let Duanmu lead them into an accident!" Yang Yun roared, and then took the lead and ran forward, panicking Chi Mu'er and the guards behind him hurriedly chasing after him.
It was very physically demanding to travel in the mountains, Yang Yun ran for about half an hour with everyone, and many people were so tired that they couldn't catch their breath, and finally rushed to the place where Duanmu Jiyue and them were ambushed.
Seeing the scene in front of him, Yang Yun's heart was half cold, and the scene was a mess. Broken weapons, severed branches, and even a lot of blood on the ground.
The only thing that made Yang Yun feel a little comforted was that there was no body at the scene, and it seemed that Duanmu Jiyue and the others were most likely arrested, but they should not be in danger of life for the time being.
One of the guards looked around, and even dipped his hand in the blood dripping from the leaves, and then came to Yang Yun's side.
"Your Highness! The blood stains have not dried yet, we hurry up and catch up, and we may be able to catch up. The guard came to Yang Yun's side and said softly to him.
At this time, Yang Yun was already anxious, and after listening to the guard's words, he took the lead and chased after Chi Mu'er and the guards.
Walking all the way along the mountain road, time passed in a hurry, and another half an hour passed, although Yang Yun and the others did not stop for almost a moment, but they still did not catch up with Duanmu Jiyue and Yang Hong and others.
"Your Highness, there is someone ahead." Chi Mu'er, who was running at the front, suddenly turned around and said to Yang Yun.
Following the direction of Chi Mu'er's finger, Yang Yun looked forward, only to see two female soldiers holding a stick on crutches, supporting each other, limping towards Yang Yun and the others.
"Zhang Yingzi, Qi Hong'er is you, it's great that you are still alive!" The female soldier who followed behind Yang Yun saw the two people in front of her. Immediately shouted excitedly.
Looking at the dress of the two female soldiers, after hearing the voice of the female soldier behind her, Yang Yun knew that these two female soldiers were also Duanmu Jiyue's subordinates, and she hurriedly stepped forward, wanting to get the latest news as soon as possible.
"The five of us, as well as Commander Duanmu, were all caught by them, and they thought the two of us were injured and couldn't walk quickly, so they let us go." The two female soldiers hurriedly reported to Yang Yun.
Listening to the words of the two female soldiers, Yang Yun was happy and anxious, happy that Duanmu Jiyue had not had an accident for the time being, and what was anxious was that Duanmu Jiyue was caught by these guys, and it was a very troublesome thing to rescue it.
Yang Yun is particularly concerned about Duanmu Jiyue's safety, and Yang Yun feels that his emotional intelligence is not high. But with two life experiences, how could he not know Duanmu Jiyue's deep affection for him.
This lovely girl, in order to leave her hometown for herself, came to Wu County with herself. Although he already has Chi Li, he can't tolerate other women in his heart, but Yang Yun is very grateful for everything Duanmu Jiyue has done for himself.
Therefore, in Yang Yun's heart, Duanmu Jiyue has become his own relative, and Duan
Although Mu Jiyue is not related by blood, she is much closer than those brothers and sisters in Xijing City who are related to her.
After a long time of continuous travel, Yang Yun and the guards were exhausted, at this time the time was almost dusk, the night in the mountains was much darker than the flat land, there would be many dangers in rushing at this time, many four persuaded Yang Yun to return, let some guards who often traveled at night continue to pursue.
However, Yang Yun resolutely rejected the guard's suggestion, and asked a guard to be responsible for returning the two injured female soldiers back to Wu County first, and insisted that he would pursue Yang Hong and Zhong Wentao with all the guards, so as not to put Duanmu Jiyue in danger.
The guards couldn't resist Yang Yun, so they had to obey his arrangement, everyone was in place, rested for a while, ate some dry food, and then hurried forward in the night with the torches that had been prepared.
In the mountains at night, not only is the visibility very poor, but there are also wild animals that constantly infest. But these black bears and tigers in the mountains, seeing this group of well-equipped guards, had to choose to stay away.
Yang Yun and the others stopped all the way, and did not close their eyes to rest for even a moment all night, but to everyone's dismay, they never found Yang Hong and Zhong Wentao.
What was even more unfortunate was that there was a light rain in the second half of the night, which was a common thing to rain in the mountains, and everyone did not find it unusual. It's just that the road is much more slippery and it's even more difficult to walk.
In another trouble, a light rain fell on the torches, causing many people's torches to go out several times. Fortunately, everyone's torches were soaked in tung oil, and this little rain could barely withstand it.
In this case, Yang Yun and the others walked very slowly, and even then many people fell to the ground, rolling all over the mud. Seeing that Yang Yun gritted his teeth and rushed forward, the guards didn't say anything, just followed Yang Yun step by step.
In one night, I don't know how far I traveled, until the next morning, when the morning sun rose into the sky. Yang Yun had time to take a look at the surrounding environment, and then he realized that they had already embarked on the road out of the mountain at some point.
From a distance, an official road appeared below, and it seemed that they had successfully crossed a large mountain in the course of the night. Yang Yun and the others walked all the way down the narrow and muddy mountain road, wanting to come to the official road.
Judging from the surrounding environment, at this moment, they had already walked out of the border of Wu County, and even walked out of Yang Yun's fiefdom.
When they were about to reach the mountain road, there was a sudden sound on the side of the road, and Yang Yun and the others hurriedly turned their heads to look. I saw a wet female soldier tied under a tree on the side of the road.
Judging from the outfit, this female soldier is also Duanmu Jiyue's subordinate, the temperature in the mountains is relatively low, and this female soldier seems to have been tied up under the tree for a short time, and she is shivering with cold.
A guard hurriedly walked over, untied the female soldier, and took off her clothes to give the female soldier a approval.
"They deliberately left me behind, so that I could bring a letter to His Highness." As she spoke, the female soldier pulled out a letter wrapped in oilcloth from her bosom.
"Yang Yun boy, we brought these women to the country of sorrow, if you have the ability, you will come to the country of sorrow to save people, give you a month, and if the time is exceeded, we will marry these flower-like girls to our brothers." The person who signed this letter was Zhong Wentao, it seems that they already knew the importance of Duanmu Jiyue to Yang Yun, and deliberately set up this bureau.
