Shang Yu at this time, there is no way to hide, this place is the North Hunting Garden, at least covers an area of hundreds of tilts, although there is a forest in the distance, but I am afraid that he has not yet run to the ground to be discovered by the Yuan soldiers.
Just when he was secretly anxious, he could hear the earth-shattering cheers from behind the mound, and the language was all Mongolian, Shang Yu heard it very clearly, it was obviously the voice of thousands of soldiers shouting "Long live".
"It seems that it is really the Emperor of the Yuan Court here, I didn't expect that the rumors had to make utensils Emperor Yuan Hui actually likes to hunt, this is the first time I have heard it, these soldiers are impossible to shout long live to other nobles, while they are cheering at this time, I should first find a good place to hide, otherwise it will not be good if the soldiers find out! It's not too late to sneak out until it's dark. ”
Shang Yu originally had the ability to stagnate time, but he was in danger at this time, the northern Han people all had the road guide issued by the Yuan court, not only did he not have a road guide on his body, but also hid a private seal, which was a private seal on behalf of his county order, which was personally granted by Zhu Yuanzhang, if it fell into the hands of the Yuan soldiers, he would definitely be able to recognize the big words "Wing Marshal Mansion personally granted", if it was still not safe after taking off the force, it would inevitably eventually fall into the hands of the Yuan court.
Thinking of this, Shang Yu immediately headed towards the North Hunting Bridge not far away, he wanted to cross the bridge and enter the Yang Forest not far away, the poplar forest has a thick trunk, and it is suitable for concealment, it is much better than the dwarf pine on the mound, and it is not easy to encounter fierce beasts, Shang Yu does not want to fight with fierce beasts such as tigers or black bears, because that will still leave some traces of fighting, so that the Yuan army will find out about his existence.
After Shang Yu stepped across the Beijia Bridge, the cheers from behind him became louder and louder, which made Shang Yu feel that the danger was getting closer and closer, because the Yuan army was about to turn around from behind the mound, for a stranger like him, it was likely that ten thousand arrows were fired, Shang Yu immediately began to trot all the way and run forward.
The moment he burrowed into the woods, Shang Yu looked behind him for a moment, only to see countless soldiers running all the way on horses, as if maintaining a huge circle.
Hiding behind a tree, Shang Yu gasped for a few breaths before looking out.
"It turns out that these soldiers really surrounded the prey that the emperor wanted to catch, so that the emperor could easily hunt, but this kind of hunting seemed that the emperor was also incompetent, and it was not as luxurious as shooting wild beasts with a bow from the countryside when I was young." After Shang Yu saw it, he understood the emperor's boring method of hunting beasts, and wondered how to return to Jiangnan as soon as possible.
"Most of them are thousands of miles away from the south of the Yangtze River. If I cross the Yellow River by land through Hebei to the south, I will first have to pass through Kaifeng, which is the place where the Yuan army and the remnants of Generalissimo Liu Futong fought. ”
"If you can board the merchant ships from the east of Dadu to the sea, then you can return to the vicinity of Jiangnan very quickly, but then you will have to pass through the area controlled by Zhang Shicheng again, and the current Haijiang port is currently in the hands of the Yuan army, so I need to take a great risk no matter what." Thinking of this, Shang Yu couldn't help but shake his head, from the sea can be regarded as the best way, but the identity problem needs to be solved. This is not something that can be won by the courage of the moment.
Shang Yu has been missing for a day, and the territory of Lai'an County has been searched twice by secret soldiers, but there is no result, except for hundreds of unidentified crossbow archers outside the east of the city, there is no trace at all.
Zhao Qing yelled angrily to the sky, Shang Yu was like a brother in his heart, no one could trust him like Shang Yu, and treat him as a brother, and since he was in charge of the secret soldiers, Zhao Qing has also changed from a highly skilled general to a real secret soldier Qianhu, those extremely cruel training methods have turned these young soldiers into extremely powerful secret soldiers, and in their bones they have been trained to be absolutely loyal to Shang Yu, followed by Zhao Qing, and then it is Zhu Yuanzhang's turn, which is a secret that even Shang Yu does not know.
"Lord Qianhu, these people don't have any items at all to prove which force they belong to, and this one seems to be a self-shattering heavenly spirit earth, due to the power of his palm, not only the top of his head is shattered, but even his face is deformed and he can't recognize his original appearance, and the appearance of the generals of the various forces we know cannot be compared." A secret soldier half-knelt in front of Zhao Qing with a depressed face, gritted his teeth and said slowly.
Zhao Qing re-examined the corpses of all the dead crossbow archers without believing it, and found nothing after searching again, but when he opened the self-shattering heavenly spirit man again, he was shocked when he opened the back of the opponent's chest.
"This guy is actually Lu Zhong, he was escorting Zhang Shicheng from Gaoyou City at the same time as me, and he was shot by a bloody bayonet thrown out by a general, and this person was personally healed by me afterwards, and there is no second person in the world who can have this scar." As he spoke, Zhao Qing stood up from the ground.
"Summoning the secret soldiers, sending a message to Ying Tianfu, Lord Shang Yu is missing, leaving Zhang Shicheng's corpse of Lu Zhong and hundreds of crossbow archers at the scene, this revenge will be avenged by our army, if the generalissimo refuses to send troops, I will lead a hundred secret soldiers to sneak into the country, and I will kill Zhang Shicheng to avenge Lord Shang Yu!" Zhao Qing's face suddenly burst into a cold light, and he shouted to the secret soldier who was still kneeling not far away.
"Yes! Obey the military orders of the Thousand Households. When this secret soldier kneeling on the ground heard Zhao Qing's words, his frustration suddenly dissipated, as long as he could avenge Lord Shang, it would be all the secret soldiers who died without a single one of them, and they were willing, because their treatment was no less than that of an ordinary hundred households, and what they learned in this army was no less than that of any of the highest official schools, and even more than that.
The most important thing is that they are the soldiers who really came out of Shang Yu and Zhao Qing, and these young men have been brutally trained to learn how to behave as people, and how to be able to despise all powerful enemies, and respect their own relatives.
Watching his secret soldiers leave, Zhao Qing raised his head and looked at Xiang Lan'er, who was not far away, and immediately turned pale, and sighed in his heart: "It turns out that Lan'er is so fond of Shang Yu, it seems that my years of lovesickness will eventually come to naught, but how can I explain to her the disappearance of Shang Yu's brother, and how can I tell his mother?" For a while, he was stunned on the spot, not knowing how to answer.
And Xiang Lan'er was looking at Zhao Qing's face with great worry, Shang Mei's family didn't know about it, and Xiang Lan'er was sent by Shang Mei'er to find Zhao Qing to inquire about Shang Yu's whereabouts.
Seeing that Shang Yu was nowhere to be found, and Zhao Qing yelled a few times in front of him, Xiang Lan'er couldn't help asking, "What happened to Xiao Yu?" Didn't you say this morning that he went to the front barracks? If I hadn't heard what the Qinghu villagers outside the city said after entering the city, if I hadn't asked, would you still have to hide it from me? ”
Zhao Qing turned around silently, and gave a deep salute to Xiang Lan'er: "Lan'er, Zhao Qing knows that it is not good to protect Lord Shang Yu, but at this moment, he must not leak the news of his disappearance, nor can he explain it to Mrs. Shang, he only said that he went to Yingtianfu to report on his work, I have informed the generalissimo of this matter, and he will decide what to do next, and our enemy is Zhang Shicheng!" ”
At that moment, Zhao Qing told Xiang Lan'er that Lu Zhong had tried to recruit Shang Yu on behalf of Zhang Shicheng......
Just as Shang Yu was thinking about this, he heard the cheers of the soldiers on the other side of the bridge stop, but when there was a frantic barking of dogs, Shang Yu couldn't help but be shocked, and after he went out, he found that more than a dozen wolfdogs with thick body hair had rushed across the North Hunting Bridge at this time, and were rushing in the direction of his hiding place.
"Oh no, it's worse, I actually forgot that the Mongols carry vicious dogs when hunting, so that I will be followed wherever I flee!" Shang Yu couldn't help but be frightened and couldn't move.
