Chapter 307: The Ghost Lingers
After exchanging glances, several people jumped down from the window, and the footprints and traces chased all the way forward.
Xi Muyun sat in the carriage and looked at the moonlight outside with some concern, "It's too late, there are no people on this mountain road, only one of our carriages is here, and those people will find them soon." ”
"No matter what, those people must have come to find Miss, Miss Ran with two entourages, first leave from the mountain path, I drove a carriage, pretending to be Miss on the mountain road, I will do some kung fu, if I am in distress, I will not be killed immediately, if Miss is caught by them, then the consequences are unimaginable." Cuiyun sincerely suggested.
Xi Muyun could feel that those people seemed to have come with an organization and a purpose, and the mysterious secret martial arts were strong, not to mention that there were many of them, and he only brought a maid and two followers, although these two people's martial arts were not weak, but the two fists were invincible to the four hands, and if they could not conflict, they would not conflict.
Even so, she was never willing to let Cuiyun take such a risk, so she said in a deep voice: "Let's go first, and see if there are any official Daozhou counties in front of her." ”
Cuiyun knew that Xi Muyun was kind-hearted and unwilling to sacrifice himself, and there was no other way at this time, so he said stubbornly: "Miss, you just listen to me, I still have some ability to protect myself at this time, maybe they will let it go if they don't see you, and I maybe." ”
"Will you be kind to a robber?" Xi Muyun sneered, and then said, "Don't comfort me, I won't take the slightest risk." ”
Cuiyun bit her lip, nodded and said, "Okay, Miss, what should we do now?" ”
Xi Muyun looked around, she didn't know what danger was hidden in the dense jungle, she turned around and said to Cuiyun, "Let's abandon the car and leave." ”
Cuiyun looked into the distance with some concern, "But if you are bumped into by that group, there is a carriage that is still a little barrier, and you can drive the carriage away, but if you meet that group of people on foot, we can ......"
"They have been left behind by us, but they will not give up so easily, and now that he has found us, he can only come to us through the ruts of the carriage, and we get out of the carriage and leave from the path, let the carriage run on its own, and by the time they find it, we may have gone a long way." Xi Muyun said, packed up the things on the car, and quickly got off the carriage, and the two attendants also jumped down from the front.
Xi Muyun sighed, took out a branch and slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely, the horse was frightened, and immediately ran forward uncontrollably.
"Let's go." Xi Muyun turned around and said.
Cuiyun nodded, "The method must be useful." ”
Several people immediately drilled towards the path in the mountain forest, and did not forget to remove the footprints they had left behind.
The men in black quickly found this place with traces, they rode tall horses, and their whereabouts were naturally very fast.
The subordinates wanted to continue to chase forward, but the man in black who led the way felt that something was wrong with the situation, and said in a deep voice: "The carriage has obviously acted here, but you can see the ruts in front and behind to deal with it, the ruts in the back should be obviously heavier than the ruts in front, and the ruts in front should be too light, as if there is something missing on the car, what can be missing on the car, and the only thing missing is people, so they should abandon the car here and run away." ”
"This." The subordinates suddenly realized, patted the sycophants and said: "Sure enough, it is Mr. Qin who was personally invited by the Prime Minister, it is said that you have observed subtlely, and you will not let go of the slightest evidence, and you really didn't invite the wrong person." ”
"I have been working in the capital for many years, and I have also helped the general express in the capital to encounter many unsolved cases, so this small observation is not a problem." Mr. Qin smiled and said, "Okay, don't be a sycophant now, it's the most important thing to find talents quickly." ”
"That woman is really cunning, this time fortunately I invited Mr. Qin to come, otherwise, ......" the subordinate sighed.
Mr. Qin didn't say much, just glanced at the mountain road next to him and said: "This place is full of thorns, they can't walk from a place where there is no road, there are several paths next to here, if you walk from here, you should find traces." ”
All the men were ready to go on the road again, but this time the road was so narrow that they could not continue to chase after them on horseback, so they had to abandon their horses.
Xi Muyun didn't know how long he had been on the road, there was no movement behind him, it seemed that the group of people might have been left behind by himself, there was a village in the distance of Yanqiao Town, although there were only a dozen or so households, but it should not be very difficult to find a place to stay.
And after running in the mountains for too long, they don't know where they are now, and they can continue to move forward after asking for directions, but they don't know if they will delay time, and when they get to the state and county, they should write a letter to Gu Jianglin as soon as possible, explaining the difficulties they are encountering now, maybe they can get reinforcements from him, and they don't have to rush to Yanzhou so quickly.
Knocking on a house casually, a simple peasant woman came out, and a few strangers in front of him asked with some vigilance: "Who are you?" ”
"We are passers-by, Ren Lu accidentally came here, I want to ask for directions, and I have been walking all night, can we give a place to rest and rest." Xi Muyun asked with a smile.
The peasant woman was a little relieved when she saw that it was a young lady dressed as a maid and a maid, and that there were two attendants, and she didn't seem to be a bad person, so she smiled and said, "I have two empty rooms in my house, and a few of you can come in and rest, and I will prepare some food for a few more." ”
"Thank you." Xi Muyun took out a piece of broken silver from his pocket, handed it to the peasant woman and said, "This is the reward." ”
"The people in the village don't like these, and besides, it's not too expensive, it's all home-grown vegetables, home-built houses, and the girls don't look like bad people." The peasant woman said with a smile.
Xi Muyun nodded with a smile and said, "That being said, but the number of courtesies is indispensable, you can accept it, otherwise I won't feel at ease living in this house." ”
The peasant woman was excused again, accepted the broken silver and went in to prepare to a safe place, and a few people breathed a sigh of relief, and ran all night, and now the sky is on the horizon... It has been white, like the color of celadon glaze, and the shade is appropriate.
The whole village is shrouded in the faint sunlight that has just risen, and it looks extraordinarily peaceful.
After running all night, everyone was a little tired, and they ate a lot, and when they were about to fall asleep after eating, they suddenly heard a noisy sound outside, as if there was a conflict between the people in the village and someone outside.
Thinking of this, Xi Muyun immediately got up, pushed open the window and looked outside, it doesn't matter if he doesn't look at it, he was startled when he saw it, those people in black didn't know when they found this place, and they were asking the people in the village if they had seen them?
Since they had come in the morning, and the villagers had just gotten up, he had only managed to knock on a house, and no one else had been seen, so only the peasant woman knew that they were here at this time.
Xi Muyun was startled, and one of the entourages saw that this was the case, so he immediately asked, "Otherwise, let's tie up that peasant woman first, lest she leak our whereabouts after she goes out." ”
"It can't be like this, and this place can't stay for long." Xi Muyun never expected that the other party would easily recognize her, it seems that the person sent by the other party is not stupid, this time it is inevitable, she doesn't know where she offended someone, could it be that Xia Hai again.
