Chapter 300: Lost?
Although the two soldiers also had a trace of apprehension in their hearts, when they heard the second prince say this, they glanced at each other, and did not dare to say anything, so they quickly raised the long sword in their hands, raised the torch in their hand, and followed.
Now they don't know how far they have walked, but it must be a long way from the way they came. It is not realistic to quit immediately.
And looking at the second prince like this, he has no intention of quitting at all. What's more, now that some of the grain and grass they are missing have not been found, how can the second prince give up?
These two soldiers actually didn't know the truth, they only thought that they had lost some of the grain and grass, they didn't know at all, in fact, all the grain and grass had already disappeared without a trace. What they rely on to survive now is Pei Qian, who traveled thousands of miles and brought it from the capital for emergency use.
If they know the truth, I'm afraid their hearts will be cold.
Where will there be the composure that is now?
Pei Qian carried his sword and carefully controlled his pace so as not to fall into the trap on the ground again. Just now his boots had sunk into the ground, stained with mud and a little slimy, which made him uncomfortable. When you walk, the sound of mud close to the floor is a little hard to ignore.
But Pei Qian had no choice, he could only wear those dirty boots and continue to walk forward.
After calculating the time, it had been more than an hour since they came in, and this secret passage was so long that it didn't mean to end at all. Even if he is as gentle as Pei Qian, it is inevitable that there will be a trace of impatience in his heart at this moment.
Although they were almost attacked at first, there were no traps or ambushes on the rest of the journey. This couldn't help but make Pei Qian suspicious, didn't the person behind the scenes know that they were coming, so they quickly ran away?
If so, they need to step up.
Pei Qian didn't think about it at all, if he met the people behind the scenes, what would they do. After all, there are only three of them today, and the process of transporting such a huge amount of grain and grass cannot be completed by one person.
But at this moment, they don't care so much. This matter could not be known to more soldiers in the first place, and the Buddha rule, for them, there are only endless disadvantages, and there will be no benefit in the slightest.
Just when Pei Qian's heart relaxed a little more, reality slapped him again.
A soldier behind him exclaimed, Pei Qian immediately turned around and asked, "What's wrong?" ”
The soldier looked at Pei Qian and the soldier next to him with a bitter face, and said a little helplessly: "Second prince, my subordinates have also been tricked and stepped on the trap." ”
Pei Qian looked at the ground, and sure enough, the soldier's feet were already deep in the ground at this moment, as if they had been sucked in.
But when he walked by, he didn't see any traps, what was going on?
Pei Qian frowned slightly, looked at the soldier next to him, and ordered him, "You go and help him, quickly pull him out." ”
"Yes." The soldier grabbed one of the struck soldier's hands and pulled him out with all his might. Originally, I thought that this soldier had exerted so much strength, and that leg should be saved soon.
But he never expected that the soldier had already used his strength to feed, and his legs did not move at all!
Moreover, the soldier frowned, and said with a painful face: "Oh, you are lighter, my feet hurt so much!" ”
The soldier did not believe in evil, and dragged him hard, but the leg did not change in the slightest.
Pei Qian: "......" He didn't believe it either.
Pei Qian strode over, grabbed the soldier's other hand, pulled his body, and lifted it up fiercely, but the soldier's foot was not pulled out at all, but he screamed in pain.
Pei Qian asked the soldier to try to pull out the soldier's leg, but it was useless. On the contrary, the soldier kept yelling, "Don't pull it out, I feel as if something has been biting me and pulling it down." The harder you work, the more my feet hurt, please the second prince, let me go. ”
Pei Qian looked at the soldier with a painful expression, and it didn't seem to be a fake. At this moment, he was very helpless, and there was a trace of anger in his heart. The anger was naturally directed at this soldier, who walked so carelessly that he actually fell into a trap.
He had obviously paid attention to them just now, why did he still care so much? The helpless thing is that he just thought that things had improved, but he didn't expect that the people in his team would suffer again.
Pei Qian looked at the soldier who was still struggling, and couldn't help but suspect at this moment that at this speed, they might not be able to get out of this secret passage today. If they can't leave here, they don't have a lot of dry food with them, and when the time comes, they may have to go back the way they came.
But he finally came here, if he was allowed to go back again, how could Pei Qian be willing? But at the moment, it seems impossible not to rescue this soldier.
The soldier seemed to see Pei Qian's thoughts, and while rubbing his aching thighs, he said with a bitter face: "Second prince, it seems that his subordinates are like this, and they can't continue to move forward with you. Moreover, his subordinates didn't want to delay the second prince to find grain and grass because of themselves. Second prince, you better go quickly, don't worry about your subordinates, your subordinates will be fine. ”
Pei Qian looked at the soldier and was silent for a long time, and finally said helplessly: "Since this is the case, you will wait here first, and when the prince finds the exit, he will immediately call someone to come and pick you up." ”
The soldier said with a grateful face: "When the second prince says this, his subordinates are relieved, you can go forward boldly, and your subordinates will definitely wait for the good news of the second prince here." ”
Pei Qian didn't dare to delay any longer, this secret passage was somewhat impermeable, and he walked a few more steps, and he also felt as if there was a trace of difficulty in breathing. Therefore, it is urgent to find food and grass.
If he finds grain and grass, he should return to the granary as soon as possible and go to several other generals to help. Now that Pei Qian knows, if he relies on himself, I'm afraid there is no way at all. Even if he finds those grains and grasses, he can't transport them back alone!
But the first thing to do now is to find the grain and grass first.
In this way, Pei Qian took the only remaining soldier and continued to walk forward. Along the way, they encountered several of the same traps, and from time to time, a few arrows flew in front of them. Although Pei Qian successfully avoided those traps and arrows, when he wanted to find out the real murderer who released the arrows, he couldn't find any figure at all, as if no one existed at all.
The air in the secret passage became more and more depressed, and Pei Qian didn't even want to say a word at the moment. He felt a little physically and mentally exhausted, and his physical strength was also a little exhausted. In such a situation, if you don't go out as soon as possible, I'm afraid that something will happen to you.
Thinking of this, Pei Qian suddenly felt a little worried, he was ambushed here, and he didn't know what happened to Lu Fei and them on the other side. They look very aggressive, and if they fall into a trap, they will be in trouble.
He didn't think that even he could solve it, and Lu Fei and a few people had the ability to solve it.
But what Pei Qian didn't expect was that the road Lu Fei took was almost a smooth avenue, and almost nothing happened along the way except for the black. They walked all the way unimpeded, except for a long walk and a trace of fatigue, the spirit of Lu Fei and several people can be said to be very good.
After all, they had never encountered anything, and naturally they would not imagine that the second prince had encountered so many things on another road.
Pei Qian was indeed a little distressed at the moment, at first it was just a few sparse arrows, but now from time to time, some stones will be beaten. He was careless, and was hit in the face by a small pebble, and his originally handsome face suddenly appeared red marks, and there were faint signs of bleeding.
Pei Qian touched his aching cheek, and the anger in his heart rose a lot. He usually pays attention to his appearance, but now his appearance is damaged, how can he accept it?
What's more, after walking for so long, they have not gained any gains, and they have hung up the lottery one after another, and they can't accept it for anyone.
When he finds the grain and grass, he must punish the person behind the scenes.
Pei Qian walked forward angrily while thinking like this.
The soldiers behind him were also injured, but when he saw the second prince like this, he didn't dare to squeak, for fear that he would hit the muzzle.
Lu Fei was talking to General Meng as he walked.
"Brother Meng, why do I always feel that something is wrong? I don't know if you have such thoughts. ”
General Meng glanced at him as he walked.
"Why?"
Lu Fei looked at the road in front of him and muttered, "Don't you think this road is too long?" Although we kept turning, we were obviously walking the same road, why did we walk for so long without an exit? Is this secret passage really dug so deep? ”
General Meng listened to Lu Fei's words, thought about it for a while, and felt that what he said was very reasonable.
"It does seem like a problem when you say that. We've been walking for almost two hours, and we still haven't met anything. It would be too false to say that this grain and grass were shipped from here. With such a long journey, they can transport all the grain and grass out in one night? ”
General Meng's words finally got to the point.
Lu Fei glanced at General Meng, and immediately said, "Let's make a mark here first, and take a look at it for a while, whether we will see this thing." ”
After getting along for many years, General Meng suddenly understood what Lu Fei meant, he picked up his sword and carved a sign on the wall next to him.
A few people continued to walk, and after a while, Lu Fei walked and saw the sign on the wall made by General Fang Caimeng.
Lu Fei: "......"
General Meng: "......"
So, are they going in circles all the time?
