Chapter 277: This Life Doesn't Need to Wait for the Afterlife
Hu Yanjin, Zhang Yue and a group of six people broke out of the encirclement, and behind the bushes, a group of well-trained cavalry jumped up and chased towards Hu Yanjin.
The buckwheat crouched in the grass, listening to the sound of hurried horses' hooves, and couldn't help but cry like rain:
There are more than 100 chasing soldiers, and a few of them are afraid that they will be more than lucky!
How can Xiao Gao not know the heartache of the buckwheat? The adult wears the dragon pattern cloak of the imperial grandson and wears the winged crown, and he becomes the substitute for the imperial grandson, replacing death rather than life.
The people who caught up accounted for the majority of the ambush soldiers, and there were a dozen left, and they began to clean up the battlefield.
Without the dense rain of arrows, where would Xiao Zhong allow them to come and mend the knife on the corpse?
He jumped up with his guards and took the remaining ambush soldiers by surprise.
"Keep your mouth alive!"
Zhu Zhanji stood up from the grass.
"It's too late, they're all dead people with poison in their mouths." Kotaka said.
Under his sword, there is no room for life.
Xiao Zhong picked open the soft armor of one of them, revealing a beige silk underwear inside.
He smiled slightly, even picking a few people. He said:
"You don't need to live, these are the people of the Han King. The descendants of the Han Dynasty, everyone was equipped with silk underwear, and he told them that this was the secret of the invincibility of Yuan Taizu in the previous dynasty. ”
"King Han? I'm afraid that when Yang Rong returns to Beijing, he already knows that the emperor's grandfather has gone. I guessed that Lone would go this way, so he laid out here. Zhu Zhanji frowned and said:
"We immediately went to Gubei Pass and asked General Xue to send troops to help Hu Yanjin and Zhang Yue."
There are only about 20 people left in their team, if the ambush soldiers of the King of Han find out that there is fraud and turn back, wouldn't it be a waste of their previous efforts?
Without further ado, a group of people rushed towards Gubei Pass.
Sure enough, not long after the group chased them out, they suspected that they had been deceived, and when they came back, they saw that all the people they had left behind were dead.
"Chase! Can't let them enter Gubei Pass! ”
This road is rugged, many sections of the road are built along the mountain, one side is the mountain wall, the other side is the valley, Zhu Zhanji and they did not slow down, but continued to run against the mountain wall.
Xiao Gao was worried about Hua Qiao, but she didn't expect that she was more anxious than others, and there were chasing soldiers later, she was both happy and worried.
The good thing is that Hu Yanjin has reduced their pressure, and the worry is that they have had an accident......
Twilight fell so decisively in the mountains that it was impossible to see the road ahead, and the speed of the horses slowed down. Seeing that the pursuers behind him were getting closer and closer, even the sound of "driving" with fast horses and whips became clear and audible.
"Xiao Gao!" Something suddenly sounded from the buckwheat, and shouted as she ran: "There is a signal flare in the bag!" ”
When he left Wanhu Villa last year, the owner of the Tao Village gave Hua Qiao a bag of scaring guns, and gave Hu Yanjin ten signal flares, each of them divided a few, and Hua Qiao gave two more to Xiao Gao.
Xiao Gao slowed down, felt the signal flare, and found the fire fold, which was finally ignited, and the pursuers were already close to him.
"Whew! Shout! ”
He was a double-signal signal, and soon, the guards of Gubei Pass not far away saw the red signal flare.
"If you send a signal not far from the customs, someone must be calling for help. Vice General Yan, you bring more people over to check, who sent the signal? General Xue ordered.
He personally stood on the gatehouse and watched Vice General Yan lead the team out.
"Deputy General Yan Cheng of Gubeiguan is here, who is coming?"
"Deputy Commander Xiao Zhong of Jin Wuwei, His Royal Highness Taisun is here, and there are nearly 100 pursuers behind him!"
Yan Cheng was shocked, and commanded the defenders to give way: "Pass!" ”
When Zhu Zhanji and the others passed, he waved his hand: "Tripping horses!" ”
Hundreds of chasing soldiers stopped the front and ran to the rear. That's not what Yan Cheng wants.
The fifty people he brought with him were also quickly lined up, and as soon as the rope was pulled, the pursuers of the King of Han came.
In the twilight, two stumbling ropes threw them on their backs, and before they could get up, the archers' arrows arrived.
After a lot of shouting, it gradually fell silent, and only a dozen horses fell and got back to their feet. They lit torches and counted them, and they didn't need to mend their knives, they all solved themselves.
"Vice Admiral Yan!"
Yan Cheng is a spirit: how can there be a woman's voice? Again, a guard and a short man dressed as a man were waiting for him.
"Vice General Yan, there are still six of us, just now in Songling in order to divert the pursuers, we went in another direction, and now life and death are uncertain......
"Pine Ridge? It's not close to here, if you don't run to Gubei Pass, or you still take the post road, to the direction of the capital, or you want to take the path, and the past few miles is Gubei Town. ”
Yan Cheng looked at them and said, "If you want to find it, you have to go back and ride a horse." ”
Back in the pass, Zhu Zhanji was in a hurry, and when he saw Hua Qiao coming over, he hurriedly said: "This is a wilderness, don't run around, Huyan hasn't found it yet, and you will lose it again in a while." ”
"Brother Huang, I was preparing to go with Vice General Yan to find Hu Yanjin and them." Hua Qiao smiled tiredly: "With them leading the way, you should find them soon." ”
Yan Cheng secretly smacked his tongue when he heard this: Brother Huang? Is this girl still a county lord? The royal family is indeed different, even the girls are so commanding.
"My lord! Oh no! "The guards who were counting the weapons they had collected were called outside.
Yan Cheng strode out, took an arrow from him, put it under his nose and sniffed: "Poisonous? ”
"Yes, some of the arrows are poisoned."
When Hua Qiao heard this, she almost fainted. If they get rid of their pursuers, it's fine, but if they are shot by poisoned arrows, won't they even have a chance to live?
"Lord Yan, let's go immediately!"
Zhu Zhanji nodded and said: "Saving people is like fighting a fire, be careful on the road, you must ensure the safety of the county lord." ”
He knew that persuasion was useless, Hua Qiao would definitely go to Hu Yanjin.
It was already completely dark, and the mountains and forests were ghostly and hideous. The cool mountain breeze made Hua Qiao extremely sober, she and Hu Yanjin became attached to each other in this life, she wanted to love each other in this life, instead of waiting for the ethereal afterlife.
Guantaishan, she failed to find him, Gubeikou, she would never let him leave her to suffer alone.
Yan Cheng went to get some antidotes and gold creation medicines, ordered twenty people, and rode to Songling with Hua Qiao and Xiao Gao.
Their horses, accustomed to the mountain roads in this area, are not afraid of the dark, and remember even the turns very clearly.
Soon, they returned to Pine Ridge, where they had just rested.
"County Lord, go straight is the road back to Shuntianfu, go downhill on the left, through the woods, and it is the road to the town." Yan Cheng pointed to the dark woods and said.
This is not a serious road, it is estimated that there are many people who have taken shortcuts from here, and they have stepped out of a road. Yan Cheng didn't think that Hu Yanjin would go here, it was not familiar, and it was not conducive to running quickly.
Hua Qiao looked at the place where they were resting, and then looked at the forest path, and she said, "Find a path first, if you run to Shuntianfu, the group of chasing soldiers will not return so quickly to chase us." ”
"Good. But when it gets dark, the horse won't take the initiative to go into the woods, so we have to lead the horse in first. ”
"If the horses don't go, is there a beast in the woods?" Kodaka asked.
Yan Cheng smiled and said, "That's right, there are black bears in the forests in this area. However, we have torches, and black bears generally do not actively attack humans. ”
"Where does this road go?"
"First go to a Yaowang temple outside the town, and then walk a few miles, and you will be in the town."
Hua Qiao hoped that they had taken refuge in the town.
