Chapter 38: The Hunt
"Boss, they ran away." The person who caught up on horseback saw Zhao Gao and others who had already galloped, and a follower said.
"Good vigilance." The leader showed a meaningful smile and said slowly.
"What now?" The person next to him asked.
"Send two people to chase after the lonely, and the others will catch up with me." The leader sneered and said: "If you want to run, remember, except for the man in white, everyone else resists and kills." ”
"Yes." Listening to the leader's words, the others immediately executed, two people went to chase Changchun, and the others rode horses to chase Zhao Gao and others.
Listening to the sound of horses' hooves getting closer and closer, Mu Qi did not stop, and asked Zhao Gao while riding a horse: "Who are these people?" ”
"I don't know." Zhao Gao frowned, he didn't know what the situation was, but his intuition told him that he must not be caught by these people.
How could Zhao Gao's horse run past the specially trained horse behind him, listening to the sound of the horse's hooves getting closer and closer, Zhao Gao saw the fork in the road ahead, so he said to Mu Qi: "Let's go separately and go to find Lao Meng." ”
"Okay." Murch agreed.
At the fork in the road, Zhao Gao took Li Jiang to the other side of the road, and disappeared all of a sudden, while Mu Qi took Meng Jiangnu to continue to the town.
The person who immediately caught up saw this situation, and the smile on the leader's face was even greater, but it made people feel a chill, and the people around him asked, "Boss, do you want to chase separately?" ”
"No need." The person who took the lead smiled coldly, then looked at the direction Mu Qi left and said, "Let them go and ask for help." ”
The person who took the lead looked at Mu Qi's disappearing figure, and didn't plan to chase it, so it was better, he didn't need to worry about it, how to lead that person over, naturally someone would help him pass the word.
The person who took the lead sneered a few times, then turned his head and chased in the direction of Zhao Gao.
"Ah Gao, what's going on?" Li Jiang looked at the situation and asked worriedly.
"Jiang'er, don't be afraid." Zhao Gao comforted: "I will protect you, believe me." ”
Of course, Li Jiang believed Zhao Gao, but when he heard the movement behind him and the sound of the approaching horses' hooves, Li Jiang said: "Ah Gao, we can't run like this, we have to find a way, otherwise we will be caught up soon." ”
Of course, Zhao Gao also heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and understood that his horse would definitely not be able to outrun them, but Zhao Gao did not stop, he knew that stopping now was to give the other party time.
Zhao Gao ran and suddenly saw a small fork in the road in front of him, just at the bend, and the people behind him definitely couldn't see which way he was running, Zhao Gao said to Li Jiang: "I have a way." ”
When they arrived at the small fork in the road, Zhao Gao tightened the reins and stopped the horse, then reached out and hugged Li Jiang down, letting the horse run towards another fork in the road.
"Come with me." Zhao Gao tightened Li Jiang's hand, did not choose another path to escape, but without saying a word, he pulled Li Jiang into the grass next to him without looking back.
The weeds were overgrown, and the weeds grew as fast as Li Jiang, Zhao Gao took Li Jiang and ran quickly in the grass, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
When the group of people caught up, Zhao Gao's figure was already gone at the small fork intersection, and the person who took the lead looked at the two forks, knowing what he was thinking, and finally said coldly: "Chase separately, signal notification." ”
So a group of people split into two sides and chased towards two paths, and the leader always felt that something was wrong, but he didn't think much about it.
On the other side, Zhao Gao took Li Jiang to walk desperately forward in the roadless jungle, dense woods, and overgrown with weeds, and there were many weeds or small branches with many thorns.
Li Jiang felt a tingling sensation in his body as he walked, but Li Jiang didn't make a sound, nor did he stop to check, but followed Zhao Gao's footsteps closely, because Li Jiang knew that he couldn't drag Zhao Gao's hind legs, and he couldn't let him encounter danger because of himself.
Zhao Gao took Li Jiang for I don't know how long, but he felt that he had passed through the dense woods and came to a place with a wide field of vision.
Looking at the unfamiliar environment in front of him and the situation surrounded by mountains, Li Jiang asked, "Where are we?" ”
"I don't know yet." Zhao Gao was also confused, he couldn't feel where he was, but it was better to get lost than to be caught, Zhao Gao said comfortingly: "Jiang'er, we have temporarily thrown off that group of people, believe me, I will definitely take you out safely." ”
"Hmm." Li Jiang nodded.
"Jiang'er, are you okay?" Zhao Gao, who stopped, looked around and there was no danger, his heart was slightly relaxed, and his attention was on Li Jiang, seeing that Li Jiang's clothes were scratched a lot, and there were many blood marks on the back of his hand, Zhao Gao asked with a concerned face.
"It's alright, Ah Gao." Li Jiang said to Zhao Gao with a smile.
"Jiang'er, I'm sorry, every time I say I want to protect you, but every time I hurt you." Zhao Gao said reproachfully.
"Ah Gao, you have done a good job, I feel at ease with you by my side." Li Jiang looked at Zhao Gao, who was blaming himself, and stretched out his hand to gently arrange Zhao Gao's hair.
Zhao Gao saw that although Li Jiang was smiling, he could see that she was tired, so he looked around, and then pointed to the direction of a stone and said, "Let's go over there and sit down and rest for a while, the big group of people should not be able to find us for a while." ”
"Okay." Li Jiang nodded and agreed not to refuse, Li Jiang will feel that he is very tired now, and his feet are trembling.
Zhao Gao helped Li Jiang to sit down on the edge of the stone, and patted Li Jiang's calf, wanting her feet to be more comfortable.
On the other side, after chasing the leader for a while, he suddenly reined in the horse and stopped, the more he thought about it, the more wrong it became, why didn't he catch it after chasing for so long? After thinking about it for a while, I suddenly felt that I had been tricked.
The person who took the lead immediately said with a cold face, "Go back." ”
So they immediately turned around and ran like the original fork in the road, and when they reached the fork in the road, the leader stopped and looked around.
Suddenly, I saw that the weeds in one direction had been trampled on, and it seemed that they had just been destroyed not long ago. When the leader saw it, he showed a sneer and said, "It's amazing, I was almost deceived by you." ”
"Dismount, search the woods from here, until you find those two people." The person who took the lead pointed to the grass that Zhao Gao had just pulled Li Jiang over, and said with a sneer.
"Yes." The people behind him heard the order, immediately dismounted, and slowly searched into the woods in the direction pointed by the leader.
The person who took the lead was very interested in Zhao Gao's series of reactions, and he could blame the superiors for ordering him not to hurt him, he was really a smart person, and if he could use it for himself, he would be a powerful helper.
"Ah Gao, who do you think this group of people chasing us are?" After Li Jiang rested for a while, he asked slowly.
"I don't know, we shouldn't have messed with anyone." Chao Gao didn't know the origin of this group of people for the time being, but he always felt that there must be a huge conspiracy in all this, but he hadn't thought it through and figured it out yet.
"Ah Gao, what should we do now? Can you find your way out? Li Jiang looked at the unfamiliar environment, she felt that she had lost her way, and she couldn't tell the difference between east and west, north and south.
"I seem to be lost, too." Zhao Gao also looked at the surrounding environment, frowned slightly, and then thought for a while before saying: "But we can't get out, it's good to not know where we are, which means that those people can't find us for a while, which can ensure our safety for a while." ”
"I don't know what happened to Sister Meng and Mu Qi? Did you escape? Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words and felt that what Zhao Gao said was right, so he was worried about Mu Qi and Meng Jiangnu.
"Don't worry, Muki is a smart man, and the direction of their escape is towards the town, maybe they can meet someone else on the way to help." Zhao Gao said comfortingly: "As long as Mu Qi and Meng Jiangnu can arrive in the town safely, we will be saved." ”
"Hopefully they'll arrive safely." Li Jiang listened to Zhao Gao's words, and was still very worried in his heart, but he could only pray for them silently.
And Mu Qi and Meng Jiangnu, who fled in the direction of the town, rode their horses and galloped for a while, and suddenly found that there was no sound of horses' hooves behind them, as if the people behind them had not caught up.
But even with no horses' hooves chasing him, Muki did not slow down in the slightest, and still rode his horse wildly.
Meng Jiangnu, who was sitting in Mu Qi's arms, no longer cared about the different worlds between men and women, and just asked with a worried face, "What happened?" Suddenly a group of people are chasing us? ”
"I don't know, but it's not good." Murch replied.
"Why is there no sound behind us?" Meng Jiangnu also seemed to feel that something was wrong.
"They didn't seem to be chasing us." Mu Qi frowned and said, "It looks like they're all chasing Zhao Gao and Senior Sister." Seeing that the group of people behind him just now did not catch up, Mu Qi felt that they must be coming for Zhao Gao and Senior Sister.
"What can I do? Jiang Er, something should happen to them, right? Meng Jiangnu listened to Mu Qi's words and said worriedly.
"We must now get to the town as soon as possible, then reach the Great Wall, and ask General Meng for help, now only General Meng can save them." Mu Qi said seriously, I only hope that I can find General Meng as soon as possible, so that I can save my senior sister and them.
Muki rode his horse all the way, causing a puff of dust to fly, and only the sound of horses' hooves could be heard on the quiet road.
On the other side, the group of people who were terrible at searching searched everywhere in the woods, but found nothing, and looking at the huge woods, it seemed that it was difficult to find them for a while, and the woods were so intricate that it was easy to get lost.
The leader looked around the woods, which were large and quiet, except for the rest of the group, and could only occasionally hear the occasional birdsong in the woods.
"Search me carefully, don't let go of any place, you must find them." The leader said coldly.
"Yes." When the other subordinates heard this order, they immediately searched for it again in earnest, not sparing a single cent.
