Chapter 52: Take a gamble

"Take advantage of their panic, go out and fight for a while, remember not to fight, and when you find that you can't do anything, immediately retreat to the mountains. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info but don't go to the prince and them, scatter and hide. They will definitely search the mountain, and in this kind of weather, they will definitely not search carefully, and you will take advantage of the sneak attack when some of them are alone, and you must create chaos and buy time for the prince. Do you understand?" Wu Yuanqing quickly arranged.

"Understood, little grandfather," the guards commanded.

Wu Yuanqing looked at them one by one, his eyes were calm and indifferent, there was no panic or excitement, and there were no ripples like stagnant water.

All of them were wounded, left over from the previous time when they blocked the enemy, and less than twenty-five of the more than thirty guards were now left.

"Go ahead," Wu Yuanqing waved his hand weakly.

Looking at the guards who rushed out to kill the crowd, Wu Yuanqing could only pray weakly, hoping that he could survive a few more, and their relatives were still looking forward to their return from afar.

The round of bombs just now happened to explode in the densest crowd, and the lethality caused was extremely huge, and according to Wu Yuanqing's estimates, it could also cause more than 100 or 200 casualties.

And Zhang Cheng brought more than 400 people this time, and he will lose half of the staff at once, plus the guards who killed before and those who are going out to kill now are estimated to be reduced by 50 or 60 people. After this back and forth, there were only more than 100 people left for Zhang Cheng, and they were all stupid by the huge explosion.

But the more than 100 people who were stupid were still not something that Wu Yuanqing's side could fight. Even if the people who protect the prince are shouted, dozens of people with injuries still have to protect seven or eight people, and there is still a huge disparity in strength against more than a hundred people, Wu Yuanqing does not feel that he will have a pig's foot halo, at this time, he can go up and kill them for a while to defeat them, he really can't afford to play, and it is a blessing to be able to delay a little time.

Wu Yuanqing was self-aware, knowing that he would not be able to help if he went out, but would become a burden, so he took a deep look at the people fighting outside again, and turned his head and ran towards the back mountain.

When Wu Yuanqing climbed halfway up the mountain in the mud, the battle in front of the post station had ended, and he didn't know how many of the charging guards had run away, but Wu Yuanqing could hear Zhang Cheng's voice coming from the bottom of the mountain, and he was arranging people to search the mountain.

The hillside forest behind the post station is not dense, but there are countless shrubs, this shrub Wu Yuanqing is very familiar with, and the wild sour dates that were often eaten when he was a child in later generations. The jujube is not big, most of them are the same as peanuts, but the thorns on the top are sharp, long and numerous.

This thing is a specialty of the entire Taihang Mountain, and it is found everywhere, but it is generally a bush, large and small.

This piece of wild sour jujube in the back mountain is just a large piece, and in the local dialect, this is Ge needle nest.

Although there are also arrowroot needles in later generations, there are definitely not so many. After Wu Yuanqing was pricked by the arrowhead needle just now, he understood why the prince didn't run far, and why Princess Changle shouted out with pain.

This Nima has entered the kudzu needle nest, no matter how thick you wear, it will be white, you may have thorns when you move, not to mention running, it is difficult to walk an inch, not to mention that the weather is very hot now, and the clothes are thin.

However, fortunately, Wu Yuanqing has been running all over the mountains since he was a child, and it is common to go into Ge Needle Nest to pick sour dates. Although it can't be said that you can't avoid being pierced by the arrowroot needle, it is still much faster than Li Chengqian.

Wu Yuanqing got two sticks, he didn't use the sticks to pull away the arrowroot needles in front of him, but held the sticks vertically with both hands and stretched forward, just half an arm smaller than the front of his body. In this way, when he walked forward, the stick would first push the kudzu needle branch away, and the person would walk faster, and by the time the kudzu needle branch bounced back, the person had already walked through this section.

After crawling towards the direction he had just heard for more than twenty minutes, Wu Yuanqing finally heard a thin sobbing sound of comfort coming from the front of the black hole.

"Cheng Qian, is Baolin you, I'm Wu Yuanqing" Wu Yuanqing didn't dare to approach directly, he was afraid that he would be cut down by the guards on guard, so he lowered his voice and asked from afar.

"Yuanqing" A surprised voice sounded, and suddenly realized that he couldn't speak loudly, so he lowered his voice and shouted: "It's us, how did you find it."

After Wu Yuanqing approached, he heard a series of greetings.

The eldest girl and the second Ya Yuanshuang called the eldest brother happily, Wang Ziyu called the martial brother, and Wang Lun called the name directly. Xiangcheng called Brother Yuanqing, and Changle also sobbed and shouted Brother Yuanqing.

"What's wrong with Changle, Yan is not serious" Wu Yuanqing asked with concern, the shout just now was made by Changle, and now I hear Changle crying, so if I didn't run, something must have happened to Changle.

"I don't know, just say it's a pain in the foot, as if it was pierced by a thorn in the soles of the feet," Xiangcheng replied worriedly.

"Piercing the soles of your feet?" Wu Yuanqing's heart sank when he heard the sound, this is really a house leak that happened to be rainy. Although it is not a big deal to prick the soles of the feet, it is good to pick out the thorns. But now at this time, how can there be kung fu to pick thorns, the key is that the black light is blind, not to say whether you dare to ignite the fire, the key is that you can't light it, and there is no needle.

But if he pierced the thorn like this, Wu Yuanqing was very sure that Changle would definitely not be able to leave.

The sole of the foot pierced when he was a child, he encountered it, and he still wore rain boots, which pierced directly through the sole and into the flesh, and it was not long, so he pierced it into the tip of the kudzu needle for more than a millimeter, but it hurt so much that he couldn't walk at all, and he was still carried by his friends to the nearest third aunt's house to find the third aunt to pick out the thorn to walk.

"Even if Changle can't walk with thorns on her feet, you have to carry her away, how can you stay here. Don't you know that this Ge needle nest is the snake's favorite place to stay, in case you are accidentally bitten by a poisonous snake, it will be fatal" Wu Yuanqing was very angry, he and the others were desperately fighting for time below, but they were wasting time here, this was wasting their own and others' lives.

"Ah, snakes?" A few girls screamed in fright. Wang Lun's little white face also screamed.

The angry Wu Yuanqing kicked in his direction.

"Yuanqing, it's not that we don't want to go, it's not because of Princess Changle, the main thing is that we don't know the direction, and we almost fell under the cliff over there when we walked to the left just now. If you go uphill and uphill, there are more arrowroot needles, and there is no place to grasp it, so you can't walk" Baolin explained helplessly, he had no problem letting him go into battle to kill the enemy, and now it is not his strong point to let him find a way to escape in the unfamiliar mountains and forests.

"You, stupid to death, there is no cliff here, and there is only a drop of three or five meters to support death. You don't want to think about how high this mountain is from the post station below" Wu Yuanqing is angry, he is most familiar with the terrain here, as I said before, SX looks at the altitude here, but that's because it is located on the mountain, if you get to the local area, you will find that most of the mountains here are not high.

The altitude of the mountains in Liaozhou is also very high, the highest is more than 2,000 meters, but it is all in the southeast direction, and the mountains in the west are not very high, especially the post station in the west of the city.

The mountain behind the post station is very low, and outsiders may think that the mountain is very high, but how can it be low.

Actually, it's not like this mountain is a mountain, and if you look at the very high mountain, it's the mountain behind the hillside.

Wu Yuanqing: The western slope where they are now is actually very gentle, there will definitely be no cliffs, let alone more than ten meters high, at most it is a slope with a drop of three or five meters, even if they fall, what can they do, they are all dirt slopes, trees and grass, and they can't fall to death.

"Let's go, follow me and don't fall behind, leave a few guards behind you on guard." After Wu Yuanqing finished speaking, he walked to the left in the dark.

Li Chengqian's several big ones were busy keeping up, Changle, the eldest girl, and the second girl were simply carried by the guards.

A group of people followed Wu Yuanqing in the rain curtain suddenly down the ditch, suddenly uphill, stumbled away for more than an hour, nearly three hours, along the way, Li Chengqian, Wang Lun and Xiangcheng a few people who have not been out of the far gate, have not climbed the mountain, all walk the foot hurts, people are tired to death, plus the heavy rain is drenched, long time have been out of energy, fortunately they all know that it is now a run for their lives, otherwise they would have stopped a long time ago.

Fortunately, although the journey was difficult, he did not encounter any major dangers, let alone be caught up by the enemy, until the sound of rushing water came from the front.

Wu Yuanqing stopped, and after everyone gathered around, he breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, we have run quite far away from them." Listening to the sound, there should be a flash flood in front of you, and you can't get past it from your current position. After a while, you have to climb up the hillside, and when you reach the top of the water, you will be safe."

"Wu Yuanqing, why are you so familiar with the terrain here, have you ever been here?" Li Chengqian asked curiously.

"Haha, didn't I say it, I came here in a dream, don't you believe it" Wu Yuanqing asked rhetorically.

"Cut, you still said that you saw a fairy in a dream" Li Chengqian didn't believe it.

The two of them were talking nonsense, but Wang Ziyu heard that Wu Yuanqing's words were wrong: "Brother Wu, you just said that we climbed up the hillside, aren't you with us?" ”

"What?" Everyone was shocked when they heard it.

"Hehe, Miss Wang is really careful, that's right, I can't be with you anymore, I'm going to gamble, go back and see if I can catch Zhang Cheng's old thing, otherwise even if we can escape tonight, we will still be caught by them tomorrow." Wu Yuanqing said calmly.

"No, you can't go, if you want to go, you have to wait until tomorrow," Li Chengqian grabbed Wu Yuanqing's arm and shouted.

"Big brother, don't you go, Erya is afraid" Erya also cried, and the eldest girl also cried.

"No, tonight is the best time to seize Zhang Cheng's opportunity, and when we escape tomorrow, we won't be able to catch him anymore," Wu Yuanqing said in a deep voice.

"Then you bring more people to take care of it," Li Chengqian choked.

"No, I'm just alone, I won't attract the attention of others, and it's easier to sneak into Zhang Cheng's vicinity" Wu Yuanqing refused.

"Don't worry, if I'm not sure, I won't be impulsive" Wu Yuanqing comforted, and then ignored the crying of everyone and walked towards the bottom of the mountain.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Wu Yuanqing did not return the same way, but walked down the mountain along the mountain torrent.

It is too dangerous to return along the road, Zhang Cheng's pursuers are searching this way, and there may be hidden people who are looking for a single person, Wu Yuanqing does not want to die in the hands of his own people.

Zhang Cheng would never have thought that someone would walk by the valley bottom river when a flash flood broke out on a rainy day, because that would undoubtedly be looking for death.

Wu Yuanqing wanted to take advantage of Zhang Cheng's thinking inertia to do the opposite.

As the saying goes, the most dangerous place is also the safest place.

Wu Yuanqing is gambling.

The bet is that Zhang Cheng will not follow others to search the mountain, and he will definitely stay at the post station. The bet was that he didn't think he would be bold enough to sneak back.
