The entrance of the village, the ancestral hall of the Li family.

More than 100 families in the village, four or five hundred people, some had just returned from the fields, and they were still holding hoes and shovels in their hands, and they were noisy and shouting, not knowing what was happening.

"Folks, folks, be quiet, be quiet!"

The prestige of the village elder is still very high, he stood on the high platform, stretched out his hand, opened his mouth, and the noisy crowd under the stage quickly quieted down.

"I heard from the old man that the old man of Jinyi Wei in the capital is here to arrest the Qin criminal, who is a woman with a child......

"Village elder, is it abducting and selling children?"

"No, pillar, you don't ask questions, what you see is what you see, if you don't see it, you just don't see it!" The village elder scolded.

"I didn't see that!"

"I didn't see it either!"

"I went to work in the field early in the morning, I didn't see it!"

"Didn't you see it?" The village elder is in a hurry, if he doesn't see this, he won't be able to pay the difference.

"Master, I, I seem to have seen it!"

"Dog leftovers, what are you talking about, you, come up!" Li was overjoyed, and hurriedly waved at a fourteen or fifteen-year-old half-grown man in the crowd, wearing a patched suit.

"Old lady, today at noon, I was grazing cattle in the back mountain, and I saw a woman in a blue dress, pulling such a tall child, hurried to the east!" Gou Yu'er said while gesturing.

"Are you sure she's heading east?"

"Sure, I saw the real thing, and I wondered at the time, how could this woman run away from that place!"

"Say it again, little brother, the woman went east?" Liang Song was overjoyed and rushed over to ask.

"The villain saw with his own eyes, the woman went east with a child!"

"Village elder. What is the east side? ”

"My lord, the east is the resting place of the ancestors of this village!" The village elder explained.

"Graveyard!"

"Pathway?"

"Yes, but it's hard to walk, and it's very dangerous, it's Beima Village in the past, and it's ten miles ahead." The village elder explained.

"Let the villagers disperse. Let's check it out! ”

When everyone came to the East Mountain, which the dog leftovers said, they saw a cemetery spread halfway up the mountain, although it was the sunny side of the mountain, but it still felt gloomy, and the timid people even had goosebumps all over their bodies.

The mountain was overgrown with weeds, there was only one road, and it was still submerged in the grass.

"Gouyu, where did you see the woman with the child?"

"Yes, there. She walked forward with a child in her arms, walking in a hurry, and looking behind from time to time! The dog pointed ahead.

"In the past!"

"Captain, there are indeed traces of someone stepping on here, and it was not long ago, the footprints are still new, judging from the size of the shoe prints at the point of focus, it should be a woman."

"Chase!"

"Yes!"

"Your Excellency. This Liang Song has a tracking master under him, and it is the short guy. It's called Huang Yibiao. Guo Xiaochao approached Meng Yan and whispered.

"Keep an eye out and see if you can get it." Meng Yan nodded.

"Understood!"

Meng Yan had no pressure along the way, he originally followed Liang Song to watch the play, or he wrote the script himself and directed it himself.

This qiē was progressing in an orderly manner according to his plan.

After advancing all the way forward for about four or five hundred meters, Huang Yibiao, who was exploring the way in front, stopped. It seems to be in a bit of trouble.

"This way!"

After about a cup of tea, Huang Yibiao stretched out his hand and said in the southeast direction.

Keep moving.

Meng Yan, Guo Xiaochao and others walked behind, also observing the traces on the ground, this Huang Yibiao did have a hand in tracking. The direction is right.

"Captain, find out again!"

"What?"

"Captain, look, what is this?" Huang Yibiao took out a golden thing from his fingers in the grass.

"This is on Madame Tang's earring, I've seen it."

"So, we didn't chase wrong, she escaped from this direction, keep chasing!" Liang Song's spirit was shocked, and the sooner he won Mrs. Tang's mother and son, they would be out of the sea of suffering one day earlier, and they would no longer have to listen to Meng Yan's orders from the brocade-clothed guards.

"Liang Song, they have found something, follow up!" Meng Yan waved his hand, and followed closely with Xining and the others.

The mountain roads here cannot be ridden, so the horses can only be left in Lizhuang temporarily, leaving people to watch and take care of them.

Leng Feng was incapacitated, so he naturally let Meng Yan stay, and the commander left the people.

The mountain road is rugged, and there is no road, and I chased all the way, and I saw that it was about to get dark, and there was still nothing in front of me.

"Village Elder, how far is it to get to the Beima Village you mentioned?"

"Master, just go over the hill in front of you!" Li Laoshi glanced at the front a few times and said.

"Master Meng, a woman with a child is definitely not as fast as us, even if she is two hours ahead of us, she doesn't know the way, and she may not be much faster than us." Liang Song said.

"You mean, keep chasing?" Meng Yan said, "But it's dark, and the traces on the ground can't be seen clearly, how to chase it?" ”

"Village Elder, are there wolves in this mountain?"

"Wolves, where there are no wolves in the forests of the mountains, even tigers and leopards are common." Li honestly said fearfully.

"Liang Song, you heard, there are wolves in the mountains, although we seem to have a lot of people, but once we encounter packs of wild wolves, it may not be pleased." Meng Yan said loudly.

"Lord Meng, if you stop now, wait for that woman to go away, or hide, it will be difficult to find her again!"

"What do you want this official to do, accompany you to continue to search, so many people, what if we are in danger, we are soldiers, life and death can be ignored, will my father-in-law accompany us to the danger?"

"Thank you, Lord Meng, for caring about the safety of our family, but since our family is here, it is important to arrest the Qin criminals, and I can't take care of the slightest danger!" Xi Ning gritted his teeth and said.

"What do you mean, keep chasing?"

"Lord Meng, if this Qin criminal is not returned to the case for a day, our family's heart will be uneasy, besides, isn't the emperor also limited to ten days for you to arrest the Qin criminal. Wouldn't you be relieved if you caught it a day earlier? Xining said.

"Since Gonggong Xi said so, the official also knew that he had sacrificed his life to accompany the gentleman, so he continued to chase!" Meng Yan's face darkened.

"Thank you, Lord Meng!" Liang Song bent down.

If Meng Yan insisted on not chasing, Liang Song and the others could only obey their fate, after all, there was a proper reason for not chasing.

It was already difficult to track down at night. In addition, there are many dangers in the jungle, and if there is a beast attack and causes casualties, it will also cause dissatisfaction among the people below.

For the sake of his own meritorious service, regardless of the life and death of his subordinates, this is a taboo as a superior, and it will definitely make the team deviate and fall apart.

The tracking team continued on the road, and Guo Xiaochao followed Meng Yan closely. It seems that he is a personal guard, this time, in addition to Liang Song's people, Meng Yan brought eight people here, Leng Feng took two people to stay in Lizhuang to guard the war horses and other supplies, and the remaining six people followed into the mountain together.

In comparison, there were thirty people on Liang Song's side, plus the eunuch Xi Ning and the two little eunuchs accompanying him.

Comparison of the number of people. Liang Song and Xining are four times as large as Meng Yan.

However, the scene at the door of Chongwen. Liang Song couldn't resist at all, and he was still thinking about whether to find an opportunity to go to the wilderness, kill Meng Yan, and report a beast attack or something.

Now it seems that Meng Yan alone can kill them all. Not to mention that he also brought Guo Xiaochao and a team of elite brocade guards.

Without hundreds of troops, he really didn't dare to think about it, listen to the greetings honestly, at least now he didn't dare to kill himself lightly.

Xining, the eunuch, was the talisman of Liang Song and others, and Meng Yan dared to kill himself. Can he still kill Xining together?

The two of them died at the same time, and they would not suspect him Meng Yan's head.

The road is getting harder and harder, and Huang Yibiao, who led the way in front, was southeast for a while, and southwest for a while, without a single punctuality, and he didn't know how many detours he took.

No one doubted it, everyone knew that Mrs. Tang knew the general direction at most, but she didn't know that the road she took was the closest, so it was not unusual to take many detours.

However, a woman, with a child, still has such a body, and she has come all the way, which also makes everyone feel incredible.

It was already darker in the mountains than outside, especially when walking in the dense forest where there was no road, and there was no sound around me.

One can imagine how frightened and panicked a woman is when she walks inside.

Fortunately, there is another child, which is probably her only spiritual support, supporting her all the way and going on.

The squirming procession came to an abrupt halt.

"What's going on, why did it stop all of a sudden?" Meng Yan asked with a frown.

"My lord, there is no road ahead!"

"There's no way, how can there be no road?" Meng Yan stepped forward and asked.

"Lord Meng, look, this is a cliff." Liang Song pointed to the high raised rock in front of him and explained.

"What about the trace master under your command, could it be that this Qin prisoner can still grow wings and fly?" Meng Yan asked.

"Lord Meng, the Qin prisoner didn't grow wings and fly, but went down from this cliff!" Huang Yibiao said, "The villain judged that this cliff is not deep, and the slope is not too steep, so the female prisoner tied the child to her back, and then buckled it upside down on the rock with vines, and slowly went down." ”

"Oh, so if you say that, we can do the same?"

"Returning to my lordship, naturally you can, but now it's getting late, and there are many rolling rocks on the mountain, and the danger is much greater than during the day." Huang Yibiao explained.

"Liang Song, what should I do, do you say it or not?" Meng Yan turned his head and asked Liang Song.

Liang Song made a difficulty, this is a visible danger, when he decided to chase it just now, he was talking about an invisible danger, which can be stored or not, so he decided to take a risk.

So many of them go into the mountains, the only thing they are afraid of is getting lost and the wolves, they are not afraid of getting lost, they have local guides like Li Laoshi and Gou Yu'er, and it is troublesome to encounter wolves, but after all, it is a small probability thing.

Ten people go into the mountains at night, as long as you don't take the initiative to go to the area where the wolves are active, you will be lucky to meet them.

The smell of the area where the wolves are active is different from other places, and experienced hunters can smell it. (To be continued......)
