Chapter 243: Escape from Fear
Li Yan continued to chase with his own soldiers, and when he arrived at Qiu Lou Village, he called Qian Er, who was stationed here. γLatest chapter reading. γ
"Was there a carriage that passed by? Blue curtains. Li Yan asked immediately.
Qian Er hugged his fists and said: "It's over, it's Shi Jincai who is driving." He said it was a secret mission for you. β
"What's in the car?" Li Yan frowned and asked.
Qian Er replied: "I didn't check." β
Li Yan flicked his whip angrily, making a "woo" sound in the air, but it didn't hit Qian Er. "How long has it been?" he asked. β
Qian Er stood stiffly in place, and said suspiciously: "Less than half an hour." General, what's going on? β
Li Yan said viciously: "Shi Jincai defected!" You keep this place for me, and if anyone else is released without inspection, I will kill you!" β
Qian Ermeng, how could Shi Jincai defect? However, he quickly thought of Li Mu's previous conversation with him, and he understood. It must be Shi Jincai who has changed his mind now and wants to return to Li Zicheng's command. Is it because of the demoting of him?
Li Yan ordered his own soldiers: "Keep chasing!" After catching up, shoot and kill! "I haven't been in contact with Li Zicheng before, even if these people have been in the past, they have added some help to Li Zicheng. But now it's different, his entire strategy has been decided, if Shi Jincai goes over and lets Li Zicheng take a detour to attack, then Qixian will be in danger.
Shi Jincai set up a carriage and fled on the official road, he knew that Li Yan and they would definitely chase after him, after all, the place where he kidnapped Qiu Niang was only a few steps away from Li Yan's house.
Although it is said to be a pipe, the road is full of potholes, which makes the bumps in the carriage very bad. Especially when the speed is fast, not to mention the bumps. After battering on the board for so long, Qiu Niang finally woke up.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw a person tied up, gagged, and talking about something. She stepped back in fear and found herself in a carriage, where she could hear the sound of horses' hooves outside and feel the jolting of the carriage.
The sound of "woo woo" continued to come, and she still hadn't figured it out, she was going home with Wu Niang, and she seemed to have been knocked unconscious. Before she was knocked unconscious, she seemed to hear the sound of horses' hooves.
Qiu Niang crawled over and took the cloth from the man's mouth.
The man whispered, "That man is a robber, pretending to be a soldier, and robbing my carriage." You untie the rope for me, and we get out. β
Qiu Niang didn't dare to open the curtain to see who had kidnapped her. So she chose to believe the tied coachman, and she wanted to help the coachman untie the rope, but she couldn't break the knot. It took a long time to loosen the rope and allow the coachman's hands to be free. After that, the coachman went to untie the rope on his feet by himself, but it was much faster than Qiu Niang.
When the coachman had untied the rope, he took it in his hand as a weapon. He knew his own car, there were no weapons in it.
He slowly approached the door, then opened the curtain, quickly put the rope around Shi Jincai's neck, and strangled him back. At the same time, the sound of "huh" and "huh" came out of the mouth, so that the horse stopped running.
Shi Jincai has been holding the carriage with all his might, and his ears are full of the sound of horses' hooves and the jolting of the carriage, and he has not heard the sound in the carriage. He was suddenly strangled by the rope, and immediately let go of the reins and grabbed the rope with his left hand. After that, he let go of the whip in his right hand, took out the dagger from his waist with difficulty, and stabbed it at the person behind him.
During this time, the horse had slowly stopped, and Qiu Niang took advantage of the fact that the speed of the car was already very small, got out of the carriage, got off from the other side, and then ran in the opposite direction. Although she didn't know what direction it was, and she didn't have time to discern it, she knew that she couldn't go wrong if she ran in the opposite direction.
Shi Jincai stabbed the person behind him several times in a row, but the man did not reduce the strength of the rope at all, and was still desperately strangling his neck. He no longer simply stabbed, but stabbed the dagger into the man's body, stirred it, and then pulled it out and continued to stab.
After waiting for a while, the man behind him slowly fell, and at the same time, the rope around his neck also slipped down. He also fell off the wheels of the car, breathing heavily on the ground.
After Shi Jin finally got enough air and had strength in his hands and feet, he stood up, and before he could open the curtain of the car, he saw Qiu Niang running in the distance. He hurriedly raised his foot to chase after him, but after only a few steps, he stopped. He heard the sound of horses' hooves and knew that the pursuers were coming, and that they were not far away.
He had to take another look at Qiu Niang, who was running back, and then immediately turned back and cut the rope of the old horse with the cart. Then he turned over and got on the horse, grabbed the reins with both hands, and put his legs between the belly of the horse, and kept whipping the old horse, so that the horse kept speeding up.
Qiu Niang saw the cavalry in the distance, and she couldn't see who it was, she only knew that this outfit was Li Yan's subordinate.
"Help! Help me! Qiu Niang waved and shouted as she ran.
Li Yan and the others soon arrived at Qiu Niang's side, Li Yan stopped and asked, "What about Shi Jincai?" β
"Front, in front." Qiu Niang sat on the ground and pointed behind her. After that, he said with tears in his eyes: "Thank you Childe for saving me." β
She had just finished speaking. Li Yan ordered loudly on the horse: "Leave one person to send her back, and the others will continue to chase." After saying that, he knocked the horse's belly and took his soldiers in pursuit.
"Childe, Childe~" Qiu Niang looked at Li Yan's back and screamed twice in vain, but it was useless. Li Yan still left quickly with the cavalry.
Li Yan continued to pursue along the official road with his own soldiers, and soon saw the carriage without horses, and the body of the coachman lying in a pool of blood. Li Yan left another person behind to check what else was in the car. The others did not stop and continued to chase.
Soon, after they bypassed Chenliu County, they discovered Shi Jincai in front. Shi Jincai rode an old horse after all, and after running for such a long time, he had already exhausted his physical strength, and his speed was constantly slowing down.
Shi Jincai also found Li Yan chasing after him, and he knew that if he was caught, he would be severely punished. He just prostituted a prostitute and didn't give him money, so he lowered him from the general manager to the total number of hundreds. This time it's a defection, and even if you don't die, you'll lose half your life.
He stabbed the dagger hard on the horse's buttocks. The old horse was in pain, and the man stood up with a neigh. He clutched the horse's belly and clutched the reins. When the old horse landed on all four hooves again, he began to run wildly, twice as fast as before.
Li Yan and the others also kept whipping their war horses, but they still watched Shi Jincai get farther and farther away from them. But they did not give up the pursuit, and they all knew that although such horses were fast, they could not hold out for much time.
