Chapter 53 The Lake Is Not a Lake The Lake Is Just a Scoop
After the four or five flying fish robes were all dead, where did those Guanle County errands dare to move forward. Liu Feng, the head catcher, was knocked away by Fang Xie with the waist knife in his hand, and after kicking three teeth again, he squatted to the side and trembled. After seeing the three murderous guys stop, he was so frightened that he shrank back and didn't even dare to speak.
Fang Xie glanced at those servants coldly, and he didn't know who threw the waist knife in his hand far away first, and the others immediately followed suit and threw away the weapons in their hands one after another. Then he consciously stood together, raising his hands above his head to show that he would never resist again.
Fang Xie said sarcastically, you are also worthy of wearing the official uniform of the Great Sui, walked over to Liu Feng and asked, "Is there a roadblock in front?" ”
Liu Feng hurriedly replied: "This uncle, we are also in the public gate and can't help ourselves, it's not that we are willing to stop you, but the order from above really can't be refused......
"I didn't ask you this!"
Fang Xie glared at him, pointed a horizontal knife at his nose and said.
Liu Feng trembled for a moment, thinking that Fang Xie was going to shout at himself Oops, he fell to the ground in fright, and waited for a while without feeling any pain in his body, and then he dared to open his eyes. Seeing that the young man who was soaked in blood looked at him coldly, he quickly got up and said, "No, until we arrived in Guanle County, only our group of people intercepted here." Although there are tens of thousands of people in Guanle County, only a few dozen of us are fast recruits, and the others are our helpers, and those adults from the imperial capital said that those helpers and disciples under us can't get on the stage, so they didn't let us bring ......"
He was still chattering, and Fang Xie was still in the mood to pay attention to him, so he slowly walked up to an errand officer who was about the same size as himself, pointed a horizontal knife at the man's neck and said, "Take off your clothes." ”
The man was stunned, and then his eyes were full of horror, and he couldn't help but cry and pleaded: "Uncle...... I can't, I can't serve you......"
"What the fuck do you want!"
Fang Jieqi kicked the man out with a kick and said angrily: "If you don't take off your clothes if you count to ten, I will castrate you." ”
The catcher immediately hurriedly took off the clothes on his body, and after taking off his coat, he didn't stop, and it didn't take long for him to take off, and Mu Xiaowaist turned around, with a slight anger hidden in his eyes. This man was a sincere man, and not only did he take off all his clothes, but he also did not leave any socks on his feet.
After he took it off, he saw that Fang Xie also took off his clothes quickly, and his face immediately changed in fright. Muttered that I am so pitiful, he glanced at his companion angrily, and when he saw that no one had the intention of helping him, he gritted his teeth and knelt down on the ground, but he did not dare to lift his buttocks, and he said in a sad tone: "Uncle...... You want to tap ......
Fang Xie took off his blood-soaked clothes, and was just about to leave after changing into the clothes of the errand officer, when he suddenly saw the naked errand kneeling on the ground, trembling all over.
He was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help laughing: "What's your name?" ”
He asked.
"My name is Iron ......"
The errand officer looked back at Fang Xie and replied angrily, his face full of determination.
Fang Xie walked up to him, looked at this guy's figure, and then kicked the man's ass and said, "Tie Yi, it's a good name...... You have a lot of potential. I guess you won't be able to do it after today, I'll show you a clear way, I heard that people from big families are so good men, some people like this taste, why don't you change careers......"
After saying this, Fang Xie turned around and jumped on the red horse that had been standing on the side of the road, greeted and rushed out first, followed by the big dog and He Mu Xiao's waist, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.
The handsome man in iron sat down on the ground, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and couldn't help but breathe a long sigh of relief.
"Luckily...... Thankfully......"
He muttered, and when he looked up, he noticed that his companions were looking at him with a strange look. Especially the one who has the best relationship with him on weekdays, staring at him without blinking.
"Luo Chenhe!"
He shouted angrily, "Get out of here!" ”
……
……
Fang Xie and the three of them did not enter Guanle County, but rushed directly to the southeast after bypassing the county seat. Fortunately, with these three good horses, it didn't take long to throw off the pursuers behind. Although the flying fish robes arranged by the Qing Ya in Fenglindu also had war horses, their mounts were obviously not on the same level as those of Fang Xie and the three of them.
Rushing out for fifty miles in one go, Fang Xie waved his hand at the big dog and Mu Xiaowaist who were following closely behind him and slowed down his speed. Even if they don't need to rest, the horses need to eat some forage and drink a few sips of water. If such a good war horse is exhausted to death in one go, it will be more than worth the loss.
Besides, the so-called BMW travels thousands of miles a day is pure nonsense.
In terms of running speed within a certain period of time, it seems that it is indeed not difficult for a war horse to travel thousands of miles a day. But in fact, a team above the scale, even if it is a light cavalry with extremely strong mobility like the wolf cavalry of the Mengyuan Empire, it is already extremely rare for the group to travel 200 miles a day.
War horses also need to rest, and they also need to eat.
Seeing that there was a low mountain in front of him, and under the low mountain was a forest with no edge in sight, Fang Xie pointed to that side, and the three men urged the horses to run over. Rushed to the depths of the forest, Fang Xie patted the red horse's neck and said that he would eat grass, but the horse didn't know if he could really understand, but he refused to bow his head to eat, but slowly walked into the depths of the forest and didn't know what to find.
The same is true of the two snow-white war horses, who disdain the fallen leaves on the ground and the tender green grass that only emerges after turning the fallen leaves. They walked slowly after the red horse, as if there was something in front of them that attracted them.
Fang Xie didn't bother to care, he let Mu Xiaowaist rest, and he and the big dog went back along the way they came, cleaning up the traces left by the war horse little by little. Xiang Qingniu told him that those people in the Great Sui Qing Office were the best scouts, and the slightest clue could provoke those people.
Fortunately, the forest was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves, and it didn't leave any deep imprints. He and the big dog broke a few branches to make a broom, and slowly swept them back.
While it is not possible to completely erase the traces, it is at least safer than doing nothing. Over the years, the big dogs have long been familiar with doing such things, their hands and feet are nimble, and they look very professional. After cleaning up the traces, the two men made some false impressions that they had fled to the other side.
When they finally got it and turned back to find Mu Xiaowaist, Fang Xie and Big Dog couldn't help but be stupid.
In the forest, where is there any trace of Mu Xiaoyi?
Fang Xie was about to shout, but the big dog grabbed his arm and stopped him, then sniffed hard and then pointed in one direction and said: "The smell on the little waist is very unique, it should go deeper into the forest." ”
Fang Xie frowned and said, "Sister Xiaoxiao won't leave for no reason. ”
He took a closer look at the traces of a fight around him, and then walked out in the direction that the big dog was pointing at: "Although she has the ability to perceive the enemy, after she really entered the Great Sui, I realized that there are many capable people in this world. If you have a sense, you may not be able to detect the enemy, and if there is no trace of a fight here, it may not necessarily mean that there has never been a fight......"
As he walked, he slowly pulled out the horizontal knife, and there was a determination in his eyes.
The big dog walked a few steps faster than him and said, "I'll go ahead, I'm better at finding people than you." Xiao Waist has fireworks warning on her body, unless she encounters a master who doesn't even have time to react, otherwise it is impossible for her not to warn. ”
Fang Xie nodded, but the worry in his heart deepened.
Although Fan Gu is also the territory of the Great Sui, it is too small after all. In that small city that is no more than three and a half miles long and wide, there can be masters like the old lame man and the proprietress of the dog meat shop lurking, and the territory of the Great Sui is so vast, you can imagine how many unknown masters exist.
After walking forward for about a few hundred meters, Fang Jie's eyes suddenly lit up.
The forest, which looked deep before, has come to an end.
The big dog squatted on the ground and looked at the fallen leaves, and then said softly: "It's coming this way, be careful." ”
Fang Xie hummed, took a deep breath, and walked out slowly. He leaned forward and looked intently out into the woods. The muscles in his legs are tense when he walks, and he can react immediately to any disturbance. Maybe he hasn't noticed it until now, since he came out of Fangu, his body has been much stronger than when he was in Fangu, and his sense of hearing, smell, and vision has become more sensitive.
When he was engrossed, he even faintly heard the small voices outside the woods.
……
……
There was no danger outside the woods, only a lake.
It's not that this forest has come to an end, but that this small lake, which is about two miles in radius, is surrounded by a dense forest. The lake is as calm as a bronze mirror, perhaps because the forest is too dense for the wind to penetrate from either side, so there is not a trace of ripples on the lake.
The surrounding forest is deep and deep, and the lake level is calm and waveless. The beauty here is not like the world, even if it is, it is also a fairyland on earth.
And just after leaving the forest, Fang Xie immediately found Mu Xiaowaist.
She was standing by the lake, as if she were looking at the water in a daze. About twenty meters away from Mu Xiaoyi, the three war horses of the Northern Liao people were drinking water. Animals such as horses may not be as intelligent as humans, but their instincts for survival are far stronger than those of humans. Maybe when they're in the woods, they know there's water to drink.
Fang Xie didn't rush over, but looked around vigilantly to make sure that there was no one in ambush within hundreds of meters, and then he quickly rushed towards Mu Xiao's waist, and the big dog followed closely behind, observing around from time to time. Fang Xie rushed to Mu Xiaowaist's side, and he and the big dog protected Mu Xiaowaist left and right, and then asked, "Sister Xiaowaist, why did you come here without even saying hello." Did you run into an enemy? ”
Mu Xiaoxiao shook his head slowly, his tone was very light, but there was a strong fear in it: "I don't know...... When I was in the woods, I suddenly walked all the way here as if I was out of control. When I arrived at the lake, the feeling of being restrained disappeared again...... I've looked closely, and there's not a single one here. ”
Fang Xie is not an atheist in this life, because his ability to live again is not something that science can explain.
"Could it be...... Got ghosts? ”
He said it almost subconsciously.
"It's so quiet here, how can there be filth, besides...... It's blue and white, even if there are those things, they won't run out so blatantly and scary, right? ”
The tone in which the big dog spoke was not very sure, after all, it was too strange today.
"Quiet ......"
Fang Xie repeated, and then his eyes suddenly lit up: "It seems a little strange here...... Be quiet! It's just a little quieter. Not to mention that not even a single bird was seen, and even the lake was motionless. It's almost impossible...... Unless ......"
Before he could say the last words, suddenly there was a sound of horses' hooves behind him. Fang Xie hurriedly looked back, only to see hundreds of Ouchi guards wearing dark red flying fish robes rushing out of the forest. Those flying fish robes immediately shouted a few words after seeing Fang Jie's three of them, and then more than 100 people spread out and outflanked them.
As the horse's hooves shattered the tranquility, the surrounding scenery changed suddenly!
Wherever there is any lake, it is nothing more than a large green meadow.
Not far from the three of them, a middle-aged man in a gray cloth shirt sat cross-legged on the grass. The man held a wooden ladle in his hand and drew water from a tiny spring around him. After receiving a full scoop, he fed it to the red horse standing beside him, and when the red horse had finished drinking, the second horse came and drank the water from the wooden scoop. The second horse finished drinking, and the third came and drank again.
The man in gray cloth stretched out his hand and touched the head of the red horse after feeding the three horses, he looked at the red horse with approving eyes, and said in a very soft voice: "You know the rules better than people, very good." ”
