77. Chasing soldiers
When Yan Xing and his two men galloped wildly along the old road they came from for nearly half an hour, they saw that there were no other horses chasing behind him, so that they gradually lowered the horse's speed, so that the mount under the crotch could rest and breathe, and the horsepower would be raised for the next hurried.

The two subordinates around him are all familiar with him, seeing that Yunwu has been lurking for these days, none of the things that the young monarch has explained have been completed, and this own dock fort has not been entered, so he suddenly set off and hurried back to Lintao, although he knew some details, but after all, he still had doubts in his heart.
At this time, taking advantage of the time gap between slowing down the horse's speed and raising the horsepower, a part of the horse rode close to Yan Xing's side, and asked tentatively with some hesitation:
"Xiao Yanjun, I have been lurking in Yunwu for these days, and I haven't done any of the things that Shaojun has explained, so go back like this, is it done?"
Hearing the question of his subordinates, Yan Xing, who was bowing his head and pondering, raised his head, glanced at the part that interrupted his train of thought, and then turned his head to look at the other part, only to see that he was also riding a horse close to his side, pricking up his ears to listen to his response.
Yan Xing also knew that these two subordinates were one of the few remaining Yan family members after the war, they were not like themselves and their parents died early, this time they came back with themselves, and they originally had the idea of returning home to visit their relatives, but they didn't expect to lurk outside their own dock fort for so many days, and finally turned into a door without entering, which made them feel depressed when they were away from home for two years and missed their relatives, they also had a little more doubts, and they couldn't help but want to come close to ask the reason.
He sighed and said slowly:
"I understand your thoughts, the reason why I didn't return home this time is not because I don't want to go back, but because I really can't go back, you have also heard a little about the things in Yanjiawu Fort these days, and when we go back like this, we are undoubtedly looking for a way to die!"
The subordinate with his ears pricked up was left to guard the horses in the forest behind the temple, and he did not know what had happened not long ago, so he couldn't help but ask in confusion:
"In the dock fort, don't we still have Yan Zhong to help, Xiao Yan Jun, didn't you say the day before yesterday that things have taken a turn for the better, and we can still give it a go?"
"At this time and that time, when the enemy is in the light, I am in the dark, if I sneak into the dock fort to do it, I still have a five-five point chance of winning, and now that there is Yan Zhong's variable, I will be lucky to be able to get out!"
"Could it be that Yan Zhong has already sold us?"
"People's hearts are unpredictable, since he was able to secretly communicate with us for money and gold in the past, it is difficult to guarantee that he will not sell us all today!"
Yan Xing was talking, and his mind also recalled the face-to-face conversation with Yan Zhong not long ago, he found Yan Zhong precisely to understand the situation inside Yan Jiawu Fort and prepare for infiltrating the docking fort to contact people, and Yan Zhong did not have any obvious flaws in his words and deeds during the whole process, but he suddenly lost his temper in the conversation, but he was afraid that the other party would peep through his mind because of this.
There were no obvious flaws in Yan Zhong's words and deeds, but his overly enthusiastic attitude at the beginning still made Yan Xing feel uncomfortable in his heart and at the same time raised his vigilance, and in the following conversation, Yan Zhong wanted to speak and stopped, and many key places were written over intentionally or unintentionally, which made Yan Xing's heart even more uneasy. In the end, when Yan Xing deliberately tried to help him sneak into Yanjiawu Fort, he thought for a while, then smiled and readily agreed, which made Yan Xing even more sure in his heart that Yan Zhong's secret son had completely changed into a dagger hidden in the shadows, but the tip of the knife was facing him.
Just imagine, with Yan Zhong's previous character of being greedy for money and afraid of death, seeking profit and avoiding disadvantage, if he was asked to help him sneak into the dock fort, he would definitely show bitterness, spit bitterness to himself, bargain with himself, and prevaricate, but now he dares to respond with a smile, and has become a heroic person who takes death lightly and values righteousness.
Therefore, when he learned that Yan Zhong secretly brought people to meet him and left people to monitor him, Yan Xing knew that something was wrong and that something could not be done, so he hurriedly ordered a retreat, first jumped out of the trap set for himself by the enemy hidden in the shadows, and retreated to Lintao, Longxi, preparing to re-negotiate with his brother Yan Xing.
Yan Xing was still analyzing the information about Yanjiawu Fort that he had found out in his mind these days, and planned to rush back to Lintao and Yan Xing to discuss how to bring people back to Yunwu to regain the power of the clan, at this time, the subordinate behind him suddenly said in a hurry:
"Little Yanjun, listen, there is the sound of horses' hooves behind?"
As soon as Yan Xing heard this, his face instantly changed color, he listened to it closely, and there seemed to be a faint sound of horses running on the road behind him when the horse's hooves hit the ground, he was in a hurry, immediately reined in the horse, jumped off the horse, fell on the ground and put his ears close to the ground to listen carefully, sure enough, the sound of horses' hooves from afar was much clearer, and listening to the movement, the number of horses was not a few.
Yan Xing's face became more and more solemn for a while, he was born in a border place, he knew about the horsemen running, he still learned some skills to listen to the sound of the ground, it was impossible to make a mistake at this time, I am afraid that it was really Yan Zhong who brought people to chase after him!
"Damn, I'll go quickly, take the path!"
Yan Xing jumped back into the saddle, his face was eager, he shouted and waved to his two men, and then he whipped and galloped, not caring about the horse's recovery of horsepower, and took the lead in galloping in the direction of the path.
Although all parts of Liangzhou fell into chaos, most of the officials of the pavilions and post posts along the way fled, and the border defense should be the same terrain as the void, although the official road was closer, it was easy to be found to catch up after all, so it was most appropriate to copy the road and throw off the rear pursuers.
After turning into the path of the spur, the road became bumpy and narrow, but the three of them continued to run without slowing down.
After running for a distance, one of his subordinates suddenly pointed to the marks on the ground and said to Yan Xing:
"Little Yan Jun, you see, there are also many messy horseshoe prints on this ground, I'm afraid there are people in front of me!"
Yan Xing frowned and looked in the direction pointed by his fingers, sure enough, there were continuous horseshoe marks along the road, judging from the depth of the horseshoe marks, not long after a group of people walked over this road, could it be that Yan Zhong had already calculated that he would take the path to get out, and also set up an ambush on the path?
Yan Xing, who was in danger, was uneasy in his heart, and he also became a little suspicious, as soon as he saw this horse's hoof mark, he was said by his subordinates, and suddenly there was some panic. Just feeling that the chasing soldiers behind him seemed to be chasing and approaching, and it was too late to turn around and take the road at this time, Yan Xing didn't dare to hesitate any longer, gritted his teeth, and said stubbornly:
"I can't care so much, keep going!"
The three of them were so anxious that they no longer cared about whether they would bump into the people and horses that had just passed in front of them, and continued to gallop wildly. However, while riding the horse, the sound of the horse's hooves, which was still faint behind him, became clearer, and Yan Xing looked back, and the pupils of his eyes instantly dilated to the extreme.
He saw it, and sure enough, it was Yan Zhong who led someone to catch up.
Yan Zhong and the others who chased after each other had two horses, taking turns to change cars, and the horses did not stop, and the speed was much faster than Yan Xing and others. At the fork in the road, Yan Zhong left a heart, divided into two groups of people to chase separately, and personally led a dozen people to chase Yan Xing from the path, when he saw the figure of the horse galloping in front of the road, he couldn't help laughing, he looked back at the subordinates behind him and said:
"Let go of the Ming Dysprosy!"
