Chapter 710: The Pursuit
The people brought by Ma Qianhu from the capital are still busy mending knives and looting money, although they will not be Lan Ziyi, but it is impossible for Lan Ziyi to break into the edge of Jifu, no, Lan Ziyi just urged the horse to take a few steps and saw the Taicheng guards scattered on the periphery, these guards saw Lan Ziyi galloping and planned to gather to stop Lan Ziyi.
Lan Ziyi glanced back at the people who followed him, in addition to the Tao brothers and Yueshanjian, there were more than two dozen horse farm guys. Lan Ziyi said:
"Enough, enough people."
Peach Chase Tiger Road:
"Young master, except for the guy brought by Erlang who has bows and arrows, no one else has bows and arrows. Yuhang is covered with a dense water network, Lin Shen is far away, and we look like a lot of people at the moment, but we have to block people at intersections, and these people will be gone. ”
Lan Ziyi said:
"You don't need a bow and arrow, the brothers have heard clearly, Ji Zhinian wants to be captured alive, count, don't kill people, I don't want to kill my own family by mistake."
Peach Rabbit Road:
"Young master, don't fall for the trick, that Ji Tanyun is tricky, maybe he is bluffing you."
Lan Ziyi said:
"I can't care so much, do as I say, don't let go of arrows!"
Peach Road:
"I understand what the young master said, now we will score, all the way east to the sea, all the way west to the foot of the mountain. How does the young master plan to divide it? ”
Lan Ziyi waved his hand and nodded, and then said to the peach and the tiger, and the peach and the deer:
"Big brother and second brother, you take half of the people to turn right and go east, and the rest of the people come with me."
Peach Chase Tiger Road:
"Young master, you just take San Lang to the staff, it's too thin."
Lan Ziyi had already reined in his horse and turned around at this time, he didn't mean to stop at all, but ordered in an irrefutable tone:
"Big brother go quickly, I will divide the troops later, you and the second brother are not enough. I am in charge here, and the third brother Yue'er is my right and left hands, where is it thin?
Let's go, don't spoil me! ’
After saying that, Lan Ziyi urged the horse to gallop, and the Taicheng guards caught up with him and went to the west, and there was no other good way to chase the tiger from the peach, so he had to take the order and go, and when he went, he told Lan Ziyi in a remote voice:
"Young Master, be careful!"
The two teams parted ways, Lan Ziyi led more than a dozen of his men to gallop, the running horses were covered in sweat, Lan Ziyi and the other riders all bowed down on the back of the horse to maintain balance. When the group reached the foot of the West Mountain, they encountered a fork in the road, one to the southwest leading to the river, and the other road was the road that Lan Ziyi had walked when they came out of the Ji Mansion just now.
After thinking about it for a while, Lan Ziyi ordered Tao Zhutu to take half of the people to the southwest river, and he took the other half to the north. After the two sides separated, Lan Ziyi led the team to gallop again, and Yueshan took the opportunity to ask:
"Why did Wei Hou send San Lang south and go around to Ji Mansion by himself? What if Ji Zhinian is gone? ”
Lan Ziyi said while urging the horse:
"It was still early when I came out of the Ji Mansion, and he was still sitting on a chair when I met the surnamed Ma just now, so I guess that bastard hasn't even reached the gate of Ji's house in such a short time. Therefore, Ji Zhinian should still be in the mansion, and even if he leaves the mansion, it is impossible to walk through the fork in the road just now. ”
As soon as Lan Ziyi finished speaking, he heard the sound of horses' hooves coming towards him in front of the road, and he hurriedly stopped his horse. The other guys also stopped, and at the same time, the umbrella was spread out in front of Lan Ziyi.
The forest was dense at the bottom of the mountain, and the view was blocked, and Lan Ziyi couldn't see anything on the other side of the road, and could only hear the sound of horses' hooves on that side also stopped after Ali took the idea. Some guys didn't know what Lan Ziyi meant, so he took the lead and shouted loudly:
"Who's coming?"
Lan Ziyi heard the voice of his men, and he screamed bitterly, and he angrily reprimanded the guy:
"Ask what? Didn't you hear the footsteps over there? Are you afraid that people won't know we're here? ”
The guy was scolded by Lan Ziyi, and said aggrievedly:
"I'm afraid that someone will hurt the young master......"
While talking here, the sound of horses' hooves on the other side of the road sounded again, and the sound was making a U-turn on the other side. Lan Ziyi rode his horse to chase, and when he saw that the guy was wronged, he couldn't bear to say more, but ordered:
"Okay, it's not a big deal, just catch up! Give it all to me! ”
When all the guys and Yueshan heard the order, they all slapped their horses' buttocks and rushed forward. They are still riding the Ji family's horses, and they are riding back and forth, and at this time, they are not tired at all. Lan Ziyi couldn't help but say, "Good horse!" Then he felt the sunlight shine on his face through the woods, and when he turned the corner, the figure of the man on the other side of the road appeared in his vision.
The people in front of them were about three miles away from Lan Ziyi, all of them were wearing cloaks and galloping horses, and from a distance, it seemed that everyone was in the same body and dress.
Moon Mountain Road:
"Wei Hou, there are seven of them."
Lan Ziyi said:
"There are eight of us!"
Tsukiyama suddenly shouted:
"Look!"
Lan Ziyi hurriedly looked, but saw that there was a fork in the road in front of the pedestrian, one of them lay on horseback and went on the fork in the road, and the others turned into the next bend along the road. Lan Ziyi hurriedly pointed to a guy, and the guy naturally understood, and when he arrived there, the guy went to the fork in the road to chase him.
In this way, Lan Ziyi and his party chased the group of people in front of them and galloped wildly, riding good horses on both sides, the people in front couldn't get rid of the people behind, and the people behind couldn't catch up with the people in front. Lan Ziyi can now conclude that it was Ji Zhinian and his party who ran in front of him, and after Lan Ziyi saw Ji Zhinian that day, he remembered his appearance by heart, and now he can recognize who is on the other side just by looking at his back, not to mention why did that group of people run when they hear Lan Ziyi's footsteps for no reason? Lan Ziyi's biggest difficulty now is actually that he can't judge who is the real Ji Zhinian among those people.
As the chase progressed, the forks appeared one after another, and the guys on Lan Ziyi's side and the people in front of them also turned into the forks one after another, and the guys saw that they couldn't shorten the distance between the two sides, and they took out their bows and arrows several times to shoot, but they were stopped by Lan Ziyi, and Lan Ziyi also specially told the separated guys to only be captured alive and not allowed to release arrows.
It didn't take long for all Lan Ziyi's men to be assigned to the fork in the road, and Lan Ziyi and Yueshan were chasing after only one person in front. Tsukiyamama asked:
"Wei Hou is sure that is Ji Zhinian? What if it's me who gets on the fork in the road? ”
Lan Ziyi replied while riding his horse:
"I don't know where those paths lead, but I heard the second brother say where this big road leads, this road goes straight to the east to the eldest brother, turns left and west to go up the mountain to the river, Ji Zhinian can only take this road if he wants to escape. Even if Ji Zhinian has already fled to other places on the path, we have someone to send it, and we are not afraid of missing it. ”
Lan Ziyi was talking and turned back in the Peerless Moon Mountain, and then he also heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and there were not a few people who heard the rolling sound. Lan Ziyi couldn't help but worry:
"Could it be the Ji family's reinforcements?"
Yueshan said to Nunu in the back:
"Of course not, Wei Hou looked carefully."
Lan Ziyi looked at it again, but saw the golden armor Yaoyang behind him, the war horses neighed, the brocade robes on their bodies were colorful and gorgeous, and the horse Qianhu led by him waved his horse whip wildly to show off his might.
Lan Ziyi smiled bitterly:
"It's really well-informed, but how did they get here so quickly?"
Moon Mountain Road:
"Wei Hou looked at the side of the surnamed Ma and led the deputy horse."
