Chapter 15: Encounter with a Bandit on the Way
"Why are you sure they'll run away from Luoshui?"
On the way back to the pursuit, Hu Bilai had some doubts about Ram Zhe's decision that Zhao Zhen would flee from Luoshui, and he couldn't understand why he chose Luoshui, which was heading southwest, instead of fleeing from the east and going to Sizhou.
"Intuition!"
Ram Zhe didn't tell Hu Bilai what he thought, now he completely looks down on this big boss, he has no brains, he just thinks about fighting for credit, and he will be fooled by Zhao Zhen and them to escape, for such a pig teammate, it is completely a point giveaway, and it is useless to talk to him more.
In fact, he had already expected in his heart that since Yeluqi had sent Hai Dongqing to recruit him to pursue south, it meant that there was another Hai Dongqing sent out to recruit another wolf knight who was pursuing eastward, so the two wolf knight legions should know that Zhao Zhen was fleeing southward at the same time. Moreover, the wolf knight who pursued to the east was not led by someone else, it was Duguke, who was known as the "Yuan Clan Half Immortal", this person not only had outstanding martial arts, but also had great resourcefulness, if he met Zhao Zhen and them, he would definitely take them first, and then bring them back to the imperial city, and would not easily believe their words. Only this fool would believe them so easily.
Also based on this judgment, Zhao Zhen and the others will not flee to the east because they will easily encounter the Dugu guest who has been recruited back, so escaping to Luoshui in the southwest is the best choice. As long as they successfully crossed Luoshui, Zhao Zhen and the others could enter the mountains, which was a challenge for their Yuan people.
The Northern Yuan region is mostly flat and vast grasslands, or the Gobi Desert, and there are few high mountains and mountains. Searching in an open area, they can use their advantages, using Hai Dongqing's broad field of vision, they can quickly find the target, but once they enter the mountainous area, of course, this advantage is gone, the mountain forests here are densely wooded, with many branches and leaves, even Hai Dongqing is difficult to find a target in the jungle, let alone them.
In addition, there are many poisonous snakes and birds of prey in the mountainous areas, and there are only a few kinds of birds of prey in the northern grasslands, steppe wolves and grassland bears, these Yuan people have long known how to deal with them. But the mountainous areas of the Central Plains are different, I heard that there are not only jackals, tigers and leopards in the mountainous areas here, but also poisonous snakes that have never been seen, the Yuan people do not know how to solve the problem of being bitten by poisonous snakes, so the mountainous areas have always been a forbidden place that the Yuan people are unwilling to enter.
Based on the above situation, Ram Zhe judged that it was very likely that Zhao Zhen and them would cross Luoshui west into the mountains, so he decided to march towards Luoshui, taking advantage of the rapid action of their wolf knights, and striving to capture them alive before Zhao Zhen and them crossed Luoshui, which was not a small credit.
"Pick up the pace!" After the ram Zhe finished speaking, he shouted to all the wolf knights to speed up his pace.
"Ram Zhe, what do you mean by that, intuition? You know what the reason is, why didn't you tell me? Why, do you look down on me? ”
He is not a fool at all, Ram Zhe must have his purpose in doing this, but he didn't tell himself, but instead used a "intuition" to dispel himself, and he couldn't help but be a little angry.
"Humph! Did you look up to me when you wanted to take credit before? If it weren't for the fact that everyone is from the Yuan clan, I would have reported to the second prince that you collaborated with the enemy and treason, and deliberately let Zhao Zhen and them go! What, do you still have comments? ”
Ram Zhe couldn't help but smile, and then ran past Kubilai without looking back, running in the direction of Luoshui in the southwest.
"Damn!"
Seeing that Ram Zhe ran past him, he gritted his teeth and couldn't help but spit on the other party's back, and ran over with his head.
The distance from the imperial city to Luoshui is more than 30 miles, according to Li Gengyun's footsteps, they have to run for half a day without stopping to rest in the middle, but fortunately, with Lin Sen and Xiangrui, the light work of the two of them is not bad, and the journey of more than 30 miles only takes two hours to arrive. But after all, Lin Sen and Xiangrui are human beings, and they can't afford to continuously launch light exercises, and they may be physically exhausted if they work hard for an hour.
So the four of them were running and using light skills, and when they chased after them, they were only ten miles away from Luoshui.
"Chased after it so soon?!"
Li Gengyun saw the torches flashing not far behind him, and knew that it must be Ram Zhe and they were chasing him, and he saw that the number of torches was more than the number of torches that came from Kubi before, and he didn't have to think about it to know that he came with Mamo Zhe and them.
"Lin Sen, if you launch light power, how long can you hold on?"
Now they are trotting all the way, Lin Sen and Xiangrui are okay, after all, they are people in the rivers and lakes, and exercising physical strength is the basic martial arts, so their endurance is still quite good. Of course, the ones who are holding back are Li Gengyun and Zhao Zhen, Li Gengyun has always thought that although his body can't keep up with Lin Sen, at least it won't be too bad, maybe he can fight with Xiangrui. But what he didn't expect was that his endurance was only slightly better than Zhao Zhen's, and as time went by, the running speed and physical exertion of the two became more and more equal.
"Whew! I can't run! You take us to fly for a while, and get rid of them first! ”
"Good!"
Lin Sen and Xiangrui exerted their strength at the same time, carrying Li Gengyun and Zhao Zhen on their backs respectively, launching light skills, jumping continuously, and instantly widening the distance between them and their own side.
But only a quarter of an hour later, Lin Sen and Xiangrui stopped, gasped, shook their heads and said, "No, my body can't bear it." ”
"How many miles are there to get to Luoshui?"
"It's about two or three miles away!"
Li Gengyun and the others landed on a small dirt slope not far from Luoshui, surrounded by small trees. And about two miles behind them, the ram was in hot pursuit, and they couldn't rest!
"Let's find a place to hide ......"
Before Li Gengyun finished speaking, he suddenly heard a loud shout from under the small tree on the small soil slope: "I opened this road, I planted this tree, I want to pass by from here, and leave to buy road money!" ”
"Isn't it, there are bandits in this place?"
I saw a group of people suddenly rushing out from under the grove with torches, led by a big man with a bright steel knife in his hand, and shouted at Li Gengyun and them: "You four! If you want to live, hand over the valuable things on your body, otherwise, hum! ”
"My broadsword is already hungry and thirsty!"
"Heroes spare their lives! We are also fugitives, this golden cake is for you, please spare us! A large group of Yuan people came from behind, killing people without blinking! ”
Li Gengyun directly offered the gold cake that was given to him by Kubi before, and then told the leader who shouted that the people behind them were the pursuers of the Northern Yuan.
"It's Beiyuan again!"
"Big brother! It's the one before! ”
"Damn, let's go!"
Li Gengyun didn't expect that these bandits learned that they were chasing the Beiyuan people, and they ran faster than rabbits.
