Chapter Ninety-Six: The Pursuit
Shen Tiancheng proposed: "Without further ado, let's go." ”
The three of them hit it off, said goodbye to the fourth uncle, and prepared to set off immediately. Qiu Ju returned the sword to Chen Siye, and the two were about to go to the forest to lead the horse over, but they were stopped by Shen Tiancheng.
"Where are you going?"
"Our horses are tied over there, and we're going to lead them."
Shen Tiancheng smiled: "But what kind of BMW?" ”
Chen Siye slandered BMW? It's also Mercedes.
"It's just a normal horse."
"Then don't go, for later I will tell the brethren to go and bring them to you. I don't have anything else in Qingfeng Village, but there are a lot of good horses, two of you ride my Qingfeng Village's horse. I've got the best horses brought in, and there's no room for error, and I'm going to catch up with them as soon as possible. ”
Chen Siye and Qiu Ju were not allowed to do anything, although the two horses had good endurance, they had hardly rested this afternoon, and it was estimated that they were almost at the limit. Shen Tiancheng also dozed off and sent a pillow.
After a while, a person led a few horses over, all of them with bright coats, strong bodies, and full of spirit, and they were all good horses in a hundred.
Shen Tiancheng said with a smile: "Brother Chen and Miss Qiu Ju can choose one." ”
Qiu Ju jumped onto a jujube red horse, Chen Siye chose a maroon, and the rest belonged to Shen Tiancheng.
"Lord Shen Zhai, you are familiar with the Three Emperors Mountain Realm, where should we go?"
Shen Tiancheng pondered for a moment and said: "Since the thieves have kidnapped two friends, they will use a carriage to rush to the road, and if they use a carriage, they will definitely go from the official road. Let's go to the nearest official road first. ”
Chen Siye said in his heart that it is better to have a local, if he and Qiu Ju are afraid that they will be like headless flies, they still want to exchange for maps, and they can save some points now.
The three of them no longer wasted time, and Shen Tiancheng led them out of the mountain from another road in front of them, heading towards the official road.
The night was low, and the sound of horses' hooves could only be heard on the mountain trail, followed Shen Tiancheng around and around, and after a while, he came out of the Three Emperor Mountain, and galloped for about a quarter of an hour, and then arrived on the official road.
Shen Tiancheng got off the horse, and carefully looked at the traces on the ground by the light of the fire fold, Chen Siye also got off the horse and leaned over to see something, there was indeed a new rut mark on the ground, but that's all.
Chen Siye opened his mouth and said, "Judging from this rut...", Shen Tiancheng and Qiu Ju's eyes suddenly focused on his face, seeing what he was going to say, "A car passed by not long ago. ”
Qiu Ju waited for a long time and didn't say anything, rolled her eyes and said, "If you don't speak, no one will treat you as a dumb person." When is it still in the mood to joke. ”
Chen Siye has his own plans in his heart, he will not be in such a hurry, based on the system task description and known clues, Su Lanzhu's sister and brother should not be in danger of life, and it is only a matter of time before they find them to get points.
Shen Tiancheng smiled and said, "Brother Chen is right. Look at this trace, it must be today. ”
As he spoke, he pressed the ground hard again, and said, "This car should be a two-horse carriage, judging from the hardness of the ground and the depth of the ruts, there should be four people on the car." ”
He looked at the side of the road again and said, "In addition to the horseshoe prints of the carriage, there are also some messy horseshoe prints, not many, about three horses." But I don't know if it was with the carriage. ”
Chen Siye was dumbfounded when he heard this, this is a master. However, there were four people in the carriage who seemed to be a little wrong, according to what he thought, it should be three people, on the carriage were the horseman and Su Lanzhu sister and brother, and around were the killers who destroyed the Wu Mansion riding horses to follow.
Qiu Ju said loudly: "Yes or no, catch up and see." Can the Lord of Shen Zhai tell when these ruts were left? ”
Shen Tiancheng shook his head and said, "It's not good to say this. But it looks like it was just passed in the afternoon. ”
"Then I'll catch up and take a look, what does Lord Shen Zhai think?" Qiu Ju completely regarded Chen Siye as a transparent person.
Shen Tiancheng nodded and said, "That's what I mean." ”
So, the three of them continued to ride their horses forward, the other party driving the carriage will definitely not be fast, they ride at least twice as fast as the carriage, and the chase will definitely catch up, depending on whether the other party is the person they are looking for.
Chen Siye caught up with Shen Tiancheng, kept pace with him, and said almost as follows: "Brother Shen, do you Qingfeng Village know more or less kung fu?" ”
He said this almost with shouting, riding a horse and whistling in the wind.
Shen Tiancheng smiled and said: "That's true, after all, it's all passed down from the ancestors, if you don't learn, you will be unfilial." I didn't want to learn at first, but after being beaten by my father, I learned honestly. ”
Chen Siye secretly said to himself, people in the cottage know kung fu, but it is really a force that should not be underestimated.
Thinking like this, he flattered: "What kind of kung fu does Brother Shen practice?" can be as solid as a rock, and I can't move at all after a blow, and my little brother really admires the abnormality. ”
Hearing that the two were chatting about kung fu, Qiu Ju also caught up and listened to the two silently.
Shen Tiancheng didn't have any heart, so he told Chen Siye, "Brother Chen has actually said it, this kung fu is called rock gong, and the body is as hard as iron and invulnerable." I have learned a lot, but this rock skill is the only one that has entered the realm very quickly, and I don't know why. ”
Chen Siye's heart said what else, of course, because you are a natural meat shield. I don't know if this kung fu is as hard as iron all over the body, Chen Siye thought with some ill intentions.
The two chatted about martial arts for a while, and then talked about some things about Qingfeng Village, and before they knew it, half an hour had passed, and Chen Siye couldn't help but feel a little anxious, so he said, "Brother Shen, do you think they will go somewhere?" I've been chasing for so long, and I haven't even seen a figure. ”
Shen Tiancheng comforted: "Brother Chen, don't worry, if you don't go to the village and don't have a store, where can they go." And when they do such things, they will not stay long, but will only travel overnight. ”
Hearing this, Chen Siye was slightly relieved.
When it was almost midnight, they still didn't catch up, and the three of them were a little weak, but after chasing so far, they definitely couldn't return here, so they dismounted and checked the ruts before chasing forward.
This time, in less than two quarters of an hour, the harvest was finally achieved. When the three of them saw that there seemed to be a light in the distance, they thought it was a family, but when they got closer, they saw that it was a lantern on the carriage, and they couldn't help but feel excited, and hurriedly accelerated to catch up.
The carriage was followed by three horsemen, and when they heard the sound of horses' hooves behind them, they all stopped, and turned to look at them.
Far away, Shen Tiancheng's face suddenly changed, and he lowered his voice and said, "It's them!" I know these three! There was a person who once pretended to be the housekeeper of the Wu Mansion! ”
Chen Siye said in his heart, I haven't seen my face clearly, you can see it? So all three slowed down their horses and slowly approached.
Shen Tiancheng saw them, and they naturally saw Shen Tiancheng as well, the three horses scattered, faintly surrounding the carriage, and one of them approached the carriage and seemed to say something.
"Huh" Shen Tiancheng and the three of them stopped at a distance of about ten zhang from the carriage, and one of them stepped forward and said with a smile: "Lord Shen Zhai, what a coincidence, I met here, where are you going?" Still on your way so late? ”
Shen Tiancheng also showed a hint of a smile and said: "Steward Wu, it is indeed a coincidence, we suddenly have some things and are going to rush to the capital, but we didn't expect to meet you." ”
The fake housekeeper Wu smiled when he heard this: "Why are you in such a hurry? Can you let the master of Shen Zhai give up our Miss Zhang? In this case, we will not delay the time of the Shen Zhai Lord, the Shen Zhai Lord is fast, and please Shen Zhai Master first. ”
Hearing him say Miss Zhang, Shen Tiancheng's eyes froze, and he said: "Since you have met, you still have to meet the head of the Wu family, otherwise how can you talk about the past." As he spoke, he stepped forward.
The fake butler Wu stopped Shen Tiancheng, his eyes were a little cold, but he still smiled: "This... I'm afraid it's inappropriate. Our head of the family has already rested, and there are still female dependents in the car, so the master of Shen Zhai does not need to be polite. ”
Shen Tiancheng sighed and said, "Okay then." Then we'll go first. As he spoke, he was about to leave, Chen Siye and Qiu Ju didn't understand what he meant, why did they have to leave? The fake housekeeper Wu was also stunned.
At this time, Shen Tiancheng turned around and said, "By the way, I forgot one thing. ”
The fake housekeeper Wu was puzzled: "What else is the matter with Lord Shen Zhai?" ”
Shen Tiancheng suddenly pulled out the big knife on his waist, slashed it, and shouted: "I forgot to take your dog's life!" ”
However, the man seemed to have been prepared, and with a slap on the horse's back, his figure flew upside down, dodging the knife.
Although Shen Tiancheng didn't hit him, he didn't cut him down, and with one knife, he actually split the fake Steward Wu's horse in half!
Chen Siye was dumbfounded, if he used sword qi, it should be fine, but if he used arm strength, it would never be possible.
"Do it!" Qiu Ju saw that he was still in a daze, and shouted at him.
Chen Siye reacted at this time, and at this time, the other two also rushed up, and were stopped by Shen Tiancheng and Qiu Ju, leaving only the fake butler who had no horse.
Chen Siye hesitated in his heart whether to use his sword qi, last time he was told by the Zhou brothers that he had a spiritual weapon or something, attracting the six immortals of Yunjian, this time he must also keep his mouth alive, if he is seen and said, it will not be fun to make other troubles. He's most afraid of trouble.
However, after hesitating, the fake butler had already taken out the hidden weapon, and it was too late for Chen Siye to see it, "Be careful!" The hidden weapon shot out and hit Shen Tiancheng's body.
What the fake butler was holding in his hand was the Heavenly Dragon Sect's unique secret weapon, the Seven Star Needle. Chen Siye scolded his mother in his heart, okay, you old man Yun, didn't you say that only a few people have this thing? Why, this little minion has it.
The person in the Seven Star Needle stood up, paralyzed, Shen Tiancheng did not fall to the ground after being hit by this secret weapon, but instead aroused his ferocity, and the person who fought against him was defeated and retreated, and one was chopped to death without paying attention, Shen Tiancheng staggered and fell to the ground.
Let's say that Qiu Ju saw that Shen Tiancheng had been hit by a hidden weapon, and said angrily: "Chen Siye! What are you in a daze! Kill him and get the antidote! ”
Chen Siye's antidote had already been returned to Mingyuesu, and when he heard this, he gritted his teeth and drew his sword, and his figure flashed in front of the fake butler, and stabbed him in the chest with a sword, but he didn't expect that the fake butler had already noticed him, and actually took two steps back and dodged.
Chen Siye was filled with an evil fire in his chest, good you little minion, you still dodged my sword, no longer hesitated, and a sword qi swung out.
The fake housekeeper didn't know what it was, and wanted to use a sword to block it, but how could he pass the sword qi quickly, and was killed tragically by the sword qi.
