Chapter Ninety-Three: Escape

It's a bad feeling to be tossed and turned on horseback, especially when someone uses a cold dagger to compare the angle of the knife to your buttocks. This is absolutely cruel torture for a woman who is born with an extreme fear of pain.

In less than half an hour, Xu Luwei couldn't stand it. She felt that her waist was about to break, and her stomach was already churning.

Xu Luwei forcibly shouted with his vomit: "Let it go...... Let me go up. ”

Xie Shence smiled: "What did you say? ”

Xu Luwei shouted loudly: "Let me go up!" ”

Xie Shence picked Xu Luwei up, and then hugged off the horse, Xu Luwei immediately squatted on the ground and retched. When she felt better, Xie Shence hugged her again.

The reason why Xie Shence hugged her up and down was because Xu Luwei's hands were tied together, not very tight, but it definitely limited her freedom to a certain extent. Xie Shence is not afraid that Xu Lu will run, and He Ruoque's big bow can shoot thumb-thick feather arrows at any time.

Because it was in Xianbei territory, He Ruoque's favorite three-edged arrow was not carried. Once the three-edged arrow is discovered, if He Ruoque's identity is revealed, it will lead to death.

In order to avoid disaster, several people called He Ruoque as He Gongzi from the time they separated, just like in Daba City.

Where did Xu Luwei dare to run, she knew that she was two catties, and in terms of martial arts, she would definitely only be ranked third among the five at most, because she was not sure if she could defeat Xie Shence, the servant who never spoke. The only thing she was sure of winning was Mr. Yang of Tiqi.

But give her a hundred guts, and she won't take the initiative to provoke Tiqi's poison. So among all the people, she is actually the weakest. Therefore, she, a weak woman, is the only one who is bullied in the team. Xie Shence bullied her without any psychological pressure and moral burden.

She is good at charming, assassination, stealth, and tracking, and she is also a rare opponent among the Erli people, and she is very smart and has unique insights and judgments about things, so she can get a Grade A identity card in the Erli people.

The only slight weakness is her martial arts. Fear of pain is the biggest obstacle to her martial arts advancement. So her martial arts have not been good enough. And when Xie Shence knew that she was most afraid of pain, he even changed his method to scare her.

A team of five people is really unique and lonely on the grassland, in order to avoid the Xianbei sentry and horse bandits, He Ruoque, a grassland man, played a huge role.

After living in the grassland for fifteen years and dying in the grassland for another three years, He Ruoque was extremely familiar with the grassland, even if he had never been to many places. These days, with He Ruoque's ability, the five of them avoided the three sentry horses.

Xie Shence is not worried about getting lost or encountering extreme weather, He Ruoque is a man-machine integration of the direction sign and weather warning machine. It had been three days since they were separated from Daba City, and the five of them encountered a rainstorm, but that rainstorm was also successfully avoided by He Ruoque in advance by finding a shepherd tribe.

For three days, Xie Shence had lost contact with the outside world, and could only estimate his location on a rudimentary map according to He Ruoque's judgment. At this time, according to the words of the shepherd yesterday, according to the straight-line distance, he will be about three or four hundred miles away from Daba City, at this time it should be in the northeast of Duanbu Xianbei, and the nearest Tonglu Pass in the northwest is also about hundreds of miles, anyway, it will not be closer than to Daba City.

For three days in a row, the group seemed to walk very briskly, watching the sunrise and sunset, and also fishing in the river and bathing, as if they were traveling.

However, Xie Shence knew that his mood was actually very nervous.

It's been three days, and the feeling of his back has not disappeared, but has become stronger and stronger. Xie Shence felt like a clown, walking on the stage watched by thousands of people, but he thought that there was no one in the audience.

Obviously, Mr. Yang also felt this way, and his mental state had obviously languished a lot in the past two days, and Xie Shence knew that the camp warning before going to bed every night made him very tired.

Xie Shence is still vigilant, not only against Xu Luwei, but also against General Secretary Yang. Because he didn't know if the camp defense arranged by General Secretary Yang would leave a mark, so that people could track him. Therefore, from the third night, the task of arranging a simple early warning camp defense is the common task of General Secretary Yang and Tie Wei. Xu Luwei is a good sneak tracker among the people in Erli, and Xie Shence naturally wants her to contribute to this kind of thing.

On the evening of the fourth day, Xie Shence and others built a fire by the river, and then set up a few river fish, roasted with oil and water, and the fragrance was fragrant. He Ruoque gave him medicine by Xie Shence's side.

The wound on Xie Shence's abdomen has not scabbed over because of a few days of sleeping in the open and the bumps on the horse, and sometimes there will be blood flowing out, because he has not received good nutritional supplements, Xie Shence's face is getting paler day by day. However, Xie Shence didn't care, and what flowed out was blood instead of pus, which showed that the earthwork that Mr. Yang used weeds was fine, although it could not stop the bleeding well, but at least the wound was not infected.

If the wound becomes infected here, Xie Shence will instantly become a burden to the whole team, which will slow down the speed and even bring several people into the shadow of death.

He Ruoque was unimpressed by this situation, he had such an experience, but in the end survived. At that time, there was only one woman by his side, He Ruoque, but now Xie Shence has him, so he not only cares about this. His worries are the same as Xie Shence's, that is, the interception that may occur at any time.

He Ruoque changed the medicine for Xie Shence, Xie Shence ate a fish, and soon fell asleep. Because Xie Shence was a wounded, and Xu Luwei was a woman who couldn't be trusted, the task of keeping vigil was handed over to He Ruoque, General Secretary Yang, and the iron guard.

Tie Wei's name is Xie Di, the godson of the second steward, and he is a mute. Half of his tongue was the result of a forced confession from a previous captivity. Xie Shence respected him very much and called him Sixth Brother. The eldest and second housekeepers of the Xie family have taken in a total of eight godsons, and he is the sixth in line. Xie Lao is not young but only the eighth in line, but the servants of the Xie family still habitually call him the third uncle.

At the foot of a hillside about a hundred miles away from Xie Shence, there was a camp with about two hundred light horsemen. Outside one of the tents, there were more than ten people chained, and some shirtless men were holding whips and constantly intimidating and interrogating something, but the more than ten people who were chained were barely responding to the whips on their bodies.

If General Secretary Yang was here, he would definitely know that the man sitting on the ground eating pig's trotters was the leader of the horse bandits who had responded to the retreat of Tiqi-Half-faced.

He was called Half Face because his face had been cut in half by a diagonal slash that passed through the middle of his nose like a rainbow and then cut out one of his eyes.

The leader of the horse bandits was sitting on the ground munching on pig's trotters, and in front of him were more than a dozen naked people, covered with whip marks and covered in blood, like devils bathing in a sea of blood. Many people have broken their hands and feet, and they have lost their ears and eyes.

If General Secretary Yang can distinguish carefully, I am afraid that he can still recognize some people as the envoys of Tiqi.

There is no doubt that, as Xie Shence thought, the gang of horse bandits had defected, and they had captured some of the horsemen and were extorting confessions at this time.

Xie Shence believed that General Secretary Zhang had already made arrangements, and even those Tiqi who had not gathered at that time could receive the message through some kind of signal, so as to carry out the order to disperse. It's just that Daba City is, after all, the territory of Erli people who have been operating for several years, and it is not too difficult to use people to hunt down and catch a few people.

These bandits have already caught more than a dozen people.

After eating the greasy pig's trotters with half a face, he threw the pork bones away, and suddenly several fierce dogs pounced frantically, and the huge fierce dogs rushed out with a huge tearing force, so that several guards who were pulling the rope couldn't stop moving forward.

Two days ago, at noon, a heavy rain had fallen on the prairie without warning, which had washed away all the smells, and the hound's tracking effect had weakened a lot, and the pursuit was in a difficult situation. The captured Tiqi envoy has been subjected to all kinds of inhuman torture in the past two days, and half of his face has only obtained a little information from these "cheap bones", that is, an extremely important person has been injured.

So at the point of this clue, on the basis of the original direction, the hound regained its role, and this afternoon, at last, found the traces again, but the buried fire clearly showed that the man he had sought to pursue had left the day before.

Half of his face was very unhappy. According to the mysterious woman's words, if Halfface could catch the injured one of those people, he would get another hundred taels of gold!

Halfface has an incomparable passion for gold and silver, so he is desperate to catch that person. So when four days had passed, he began to get very irritable. Looking at the Ti Cavalry Envoy in front of him, who had been tortured to the point of little value, he drew his scimitar, stepped forward, and cut off their heads one by one.

"For the sake of your cheap bones who refuse to reveal the news until death, General Ben will give you a good home."

With a wave of his hand, the hounds, who had long been unable to hold back, were loosened and instantly pounced on those bloody corpses.

Half of his face watched the scene of the hound tearing and devouring the corpse with a big mouth, and laughed almost madly, which made him feel a perverted pleasure, and the irritability in his heart was suddenly eliminated.

"Put these heads away, and I'm going to let them eat them all when I catch those damned people!"

Hundreds of miles away, Xie Shence naturally didn't know what was happening there, but in his dream, he instinctively heard a burst of miserable screams: "Help!" Help me! ”

Xie Shence sat up suddenly, and the sheepskin covering him slid off his body.

At this time, it was He Ruoque who was on vigil.

"You're having nightmares again?"

Xie Shence's head was full of sweat, panting, and he closed his eyes and thought for a while, "I feel that someone is dying because of me." ”

He Ruoque frowned and said, "What did you dream of?" ”

"Didn't dream anything, just heard some ghosts crying out, it seemed to be ...... Help me? I do not know. It's been calm since heading east into the grassland, but I'm getting more and more nervous. ”

"Don't speak, they didn't chase after them, and we do look like we're being a mere nuisance. But if you believe me, I can feel it, if it weren't for the heavy rain the day before yesterday, I'm sure we'd have been caught. And now I'm injured again, and even though we crossed a lot of rivers and tried to get rid of all traces left behind, it took a lot of time, and we had walked nearly a third less than in the first two days. ”

"I'm very upset." Xie Shence said to General Secretary Yang and Xie Di, who also woke up: "Wake up that woman, we will rush overnight, and it is best to rush to the Helou tribe within three days." ”
