Chapter 190: Chasing Hard
Fu Lin heard the sound of horses' hooves behind him, and he looked back to see that it was his personal guard, so Fu Lin shouted: "Stop!" ”
More than 20 guards, after hearing Fu Lin's order, all pulled the reins to stop the horse, at this time, the guard flew to Fu Lin's horse, only to see him turn over and dismount, salute and say: "Lord!" Thirty miles away from the rear of our army, there are pursuing soldiers from Gaoling County, and it looks like they should be chasing us. ”
"How many men and horses do they have, and what kind of troops are they?" Fu Lin asked, and then Fu Lin thought in his heart: "It shouldn't be! Just killed a few family members, why did they chase after them, and besides, how did they know so quickly? Fu Lin couldn't figure it out for a while, so he didn't think about it, but the soldiers came to block the water to cover the earth, since the enemy has been chasing, then he can't stand still, Fu Lin thought of this and took out the map to look at it, the map at this time is also very rough, but it's better than nothing, I saw that the map was marked with various cities and villages, Fu Lin and the others went east to a village, and Fu Lin's current place has no mountains and forests and hiding places, so they only arrived at that village, There are mountains and forests near the village, and as long as they enter the mountains and forests, Fu Lin and others are not afraid of chasing soldiers.
"They had two hundred cavalry, all archers." The scout saw that Fu Lin had been there all along, thinking about something, he didn't dare to speak, and only then did he see Fu Lin looking up at him, and the scout replied.
"Let's go, hurry up immediately, there are only twenty of us, this place is flat, if we let the pursuers catch up, it will be over." Fu Lin said.
"No! The Lord has an order! All of them got on their horses and hurried away. Wang 13 shouted, since Zhao Yu returned to Hanyang City, Wang 13 has replaced Zhao Yu, he has always been by Fu Lin's side personal guard, and conveyed Fu Lin's orders, although Wang 13 knows that his kung fu is not as good as Zhao Yu, but Wang 13 knows the responsibility of guarding Fu Lin, so he is doing his duty all the time.
Tart tart tart!
More than 20 horsemen rushed quickly, and the scouts reported the distance of the pursuers from time to time, and this group of pursuers was in hot pursuit, Fu Lin felt that either the other party also had very experienced scouts, or there was no fork in the road from here to the village, so the pursuers did not chase in the wrong direction.
At this time, Fu Lin sent out a total of four personal guards to guard in the four directions of his team, and they would report back immediately if there was any situation.
Fu Lin ordered everyone not to get off the horse until the last resort, and if they were hungry and thirsty, they would solve it immediately, and after two hours, everyone's horses really couldn't run, so Fu Lin ordered everyone to get off the horse and rest for a while, and feed the horses by the way. Two quarters of an hour later, Fu Lin and the others got on their horses again.
To make a long story short, they finally arrived at night, Fu Lin and the others came, and the village that Fu Lin saw on the map did not allow Fu Lin to think much about it at this time.
"Get off the horse and enter the village, leave four secret sentinels to guard, the responsibility of the four of you is very heavy, just work hard, and I will send someone to replace you when the time comes." Fu Lin first said to Wang Thirteen, and after Wang Thirteen arranged the personnel, Fu Lin instructed these four people again.
"Don't worry, lord!" The four guards said at the same time, after the four of them finished speaking, they sneaked into the darkness and secretly guarded, some words Fu Lin didn't need to repeat, these people were all elite soldiers under Fu Lin, they knew what to do and what not to do.
"Thirteen, go see who can stay overnight, let's stay overnight, and then hurry tomorrow, I hope this group of pursuers will not chase tonight." Fu Lin said.
"No!" Wang 13 responded, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and went to find someone to spend the night.
Not to mention, don't look at the Eastern Han Dynasty During this period, the common people were very poor, but most of the people were very simple, and Wang Shisan came back with a smile when he didn't have much time.
"My lord! The last general has found a family where the people can stay. Wang 13 said. Okay, let's get over. Fu Lin said. Promise! After Wang 13 answered, he turned around and led the way in front.
Fu Lin and the others followed behind Wang Shisan, it was just getting dark at this time, it could be said that it should be dusk at this time! You can still see the road, but if you walk by on the other side, you won't be able to see the other person's face clearly until you get closer.
So Fu Lin followed Wang Shisan, while looking left and right, Fu Lin felt that in the late Eastern Han Dynasty, ordinary people had no good life to live, not to mention rich and well-off under this social form, even their lives would be lost anytime and anywhere, Fu Lin saw that this village was also poor people, and he could see from the houses that they were all thatched houses.
After walking for a while, Fu Lin saw a small courtyard in front of him, although the yard was not big, but in this village, he was considered a relatively wealthy family, the yard was fenced with some branches and the like, but there were six or seven earthen houses in the yard, the house was not small, if it was squeezed, at least thirty or forty people could live in this courtyard, and it was not long for Fu Lin and others to come to the door of this courtyard.
Wang 13 walked over, because the courtyard walls are simple, so they can be seen inside and outside, Fu Lin saw that there was a middle-aged man waiting for everyone here, Wang 13 went over and said a few words to the man, and then turned back and pointed to Fu Lin and the others, the man nodded. At this time, Wang 13 came to Fu Lin's approach and said, "Lord! Okay, I told the owner of the house, please come with me. ”
Fu Lin nodded and motioned for everyone to go in, Fu Lin walked a few steps and came to the gate of this house, at this time, the middle-aged man, after walking forward two steps forward, said: "The distinguished guest has missed the door!" Forgive sins, forgive sins! Come in! ”
Fu Lin looked at it, this person looked like a person from a family in terms of appearance and temperament, but Fu Lin didn't think too much about it, Fu Lin saw that the other party saluted, so Fu Lin also returned the salute and said: "It's our surprise to disturb us late at night, thank you to the master's family for taking it in." ”
In this way, the master introduced Fu Lin and others into the courtyard, and he arranged three more rooms for Fu Lin.
"Guest, the conditions here are limited, I have wronged you, do you have any other requirements?" The host said.
"Master, your surname!" Fu Lin asked. "My surname is Cao, and my name is Cao Jing." Cao Jing said.
Fu Lin saw that Cao Jing was about forty years old, but I don't know what the reason was, Cao Jing looked sad, and obviously his appearance did not match his age, and his appearance was obviously much older, Fu Lin naturally didn't want to ask too much about these things, thinking of this, Fu Lin said: "Please Brother Cao prepare some food for us, we didn't eat in a hurry, thirteen." ”
Wang 13 understood what Fu Lin meant, so he took out a hundred coins and handed it to Cao Jing, but saw that Cao Jing did not reach out to take it, and after a while, he heard Cao Jing say: "Although I am not rich, I can afford to feed a few guests." After Cao Jing finished speaking, he turned around and said, "Cao Wu went to prepare a meal for these guest officers. "Yes! Master! The man named Cao Wu said that he was actually the housekeeper.
Fu Lin could see that this Cao Wu was the chief attendant and the like, Fu Lin took a closer look at Cao Jing's appearance, temperament and attire, and Fu Lin could always feel it from the other party's speech and temperament.
