Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Chaser

The chasing soldiers came from the south, and the men and horses led by Zhao Yuan'er went from the north, and the sound that Gu San heard was judged from far and near, those soldiers and horses came from the outside around the mountain road, and only arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Murong Yuhua followed closely behind Gu San, the rain was dripping, and the woman held the girl's hand and scurried between the mountains and forests. The soldiers and horses at the foot of the mountain are scattering, and they are moving towards the mountain in a straight line. They all carry rain-proof lanterns in their hands, which instead exposes their own geographical location, and they can clearly see who is high and who is low.

"After I shoot in a while, you throw the grenade directly down from the southwest, there is a slope in that place, and the falling grenade should just blow up in the middle of their ranks."

"What about after the explosion? How do I get to you? ”

"You stay where you are, I'll come to you."

After saying this, Gu San rubbed Murong Yuhua's head, turned around and disappeared into the mountains and forests. Murong Yuhua clenched the grenade in her hand, which she made herself, and she had always been confident in her craft. But before that, in the final analysis, let alone killing, injuring people has never been done, and as soon as this grenade is thrown, I don't know how many people will die.

Leng Buding's gun rang out, Murong Yuhua looked down, the guy on the tall horse led by the army fell down, and the group of soldiers in armor immediately rioted, and the archers drew their bows in the direction from which the sound came.

As the second and third gunshots rang out, the lanterns in their hands were also extinguished, and Murong Yuhua also pulled the fuse at this juncture, threw the grenade forward, and counted silently in his heart for a few seconds.

There was a loud explosion, and she curled up on the slope, covering her ears. In the darkness, the attacked troops below were blown up by this grenade for a while, and the horses were panicked, and the crowd was scattered by the horses. The arrows on his side flew like meteors, and Murong Yuhua tried to escape, but he was so frightened that he couldn't move because of the attack.

Fortunately, someone took her hand in the darkness and lifted her off the slope. Murong Yuhua exclaimed in a low voice, her heartbeat slowed down by half a beat, but when the familiar voice of the other party came, she was quickly calmed down.

"Don't be afraid, it's me."

Gu San's four words instantly rubbed Murong Yuhua's originally restless heart back into place. She let out a sigh of relief, poked her head out, looked at the scene of people turning on their backs under the long slope, and asked in a low voice, "Can we go like this now?" ”

"Wait a minute." After Gu San neatly threw down a grenade from the position where they had stayed before, he deliberately shouted loudly downward, and then took Murong Yuhua's hand and took advantage of the shrubs to go all the way to the depths of the bushes.

The pursuers had no lights, and they came all the way in the dark, but Gu San had been in this forest for a long time, and his eyes had already adapted to the darkness. Gu San half hugged Murong Yuhua, hugged her to the tree, asked her to grasp the branches, and then he also hid between the branches, took out his gun, and saw that these people had already climbed the hillside, and directly shot and detonated the grenade over there.

After several secret attacks, the two of them have lost most of the soldiers and horses who came to pursue, and they have been killed along with the commander, and the remaining soldiers are somewhat afraid, staying in place and hesitating, Gu San wants this effect. The people behind no longer dared to chase, she took Murong Yuhua to climb down the tree and took the opportunity to flee north.

At the end of the night's fighting, in addition to the smell of grass and trees after the rain, there was also a slight floating smoke from weapons among the trees. The sky was already dark, and further north, the mountain road became smoother and smoother, and a stream appeared on the side. Although Murong Yuhua said that he had the thinking of an adult, after all, his body was still just a child, and after such a night of trouble, he had already been defeated by sleepiness, and at this time he had fallen asleep on Gu San's shoulder.

Gu San looked up at the skylight, stopped slightly by the stream, gently put Murong Yuhua down on the stone, tore off the corner of his clothes and dipped it in water to scrub the dirt off his face. After she finished scrubbing here, she didn't forget to wipe the dirt off Murong Yuhua's face.

The little girl was dipped in cold water, woke up slightly, opened her eyes and asked vaguely, "Have you caught up with the big army?" ”

Gu San glanced at the footprints left along the way and the trampling marks between the bushes, "Not yet, but soon." Further on was the valley, and now it was dawn, and if they wanted to rest, they should be in front of them. ”

Murong Yuhua sat up and rubbed his eyes, "We've already thrown off the pursuers, right?" ”

"Their generals are all dead, and it is impossible to have the courage to chase them again." Gu San dipped some stream water again and wiped Murong Yuhua's chapped lips, "Do you have the strength to go?" No words I continue to be you. ”

"No, I can go on my own." Murong Yuhua said, she stood up, as soon as she stood up straight, her stomach "gurgling" and making a sound, Gu San lowered her head and smiled, touching her head, "Wait for me." ”

He turned around and plunged headlong into the trees.

Murong Yuhua looked at her back a little and asked in a panic, "Aren't we in a hurry to catch up with them?" ”

Gu San just waved his hand and didn't answer.

Not long after, Murong Yuhua heard the sound of gunshots not far away, and then the grass and trees moved, and he saw Gu San coming back with a bird, and then holding the dagger and raising the knife in his hand, he very skillfully lit a fire by the stream. Murong Yuhua still had seasoning on his waist, and he was particularly excited to roast the bird. When the scent spread, her belly screamed even more.

Gu San looked at her excited expression, ripped off a leg and handed it to her, "Eat, let's hurry when you're done." ”

Murong Yuhua was not polite to her, it turned out that even if the two of them were in the palace, they would quietly beat pigeons and come down to barbecue meat from time to time. While eating, Murong Yuhua didn't forget to laugh, "Fortunately, this is not in modern times, if there is really any bird flu, it cannot be prevented." ”

Gu San has always been cold, and replied casually: "Who told you that the virus is still divided into ancient and modern." Eat yours, really eat to death, that's all. ”

By the time the two of them were well fed and ready to hit the road, the morning fog in the mountains and forests was almost gone. Although Gu San is not familiar with this piece of mountain road, he has seen the map countless times before he came out, and he really felt a gust of mountain wind along the mountain road, looking at the ground, and the mountain road was muddy after the rain, and the footprints left behind knew that the army was coming here. It's a pity that you can't stay here for long, and after a long time, when the pursuing team reacts, they will find it sooner or later.

When you enter the valley, you can see the wild grass growing all over the mountain so tall, no one will come here on weekdays, all the plants are growing wildly, Gu San walked forward slightly, and from the weeds, you can hear the movement of some small animals jumping by.

Murong Yuhua was full, and rushed to the front happily, shouting "Mother!" while running! Mother! We're back! Where are you? ”

Her figure raised one dandelion after another among the weeds, and the wind blew like a sudden flying feather. Gu San slowly followed behind her with a gun on her back, she must not have expected that the corners of her mouth were loose and raised at this moment. Murong Yuhua went deeper and deeper in the weeds, slowed down and turned back to urge Gu San, "Gu San, hurry up, maybe they have already entered the depths of the valley, so they didn't hear us shouting." ”

However, at the moment when she looked back at Gu San, she heard the other party suddenly shouting, "Climb down!" ”

The next thing was that the sky was spinning, and before Murong Yuhua could react, Gu San had already jumped over, hugged Murong Yuhua and rolled over, hiding behind the stones on the side.

The sound of horses' hooves sounded from all sides of the valley, and Murong Yuhua raised his head in shock in Gu San's arms, and followed her gaze towards the top of the valley.

The sun was rising, and the heights around the valley were all shining, and the man on the tall horse, dressed in golden armor, had shot arrows with the bow in his hand.

Gu San just glanced sideways, and the other party immediately fired a second arrow, this time the arrow was bounced off by the stone and pierced deep into the dirt on the side.

Murong Yuhua was a little flustered: "Haven't we already avoided the pursuit...... Why...... Why did they chase after them again? ”

Gu San didn't answer, just loaded the gun, and the muzzle of the gun immediately turned towards the man in the golden armor. However, just as she was about to pull the trigger, a song began to sound in the valley.

The voice was like a gossamer, extremely panicked, with a bit of trill, obviously coerced to sing. Gu San and Murong Yuhua looked fixedly, and the man in gold armor on the high ground lowered his bow and got off the horse, and behind him was a woman who was also sitting on the horse with him before.

Zhao Yuan'er, who is now being forced to sing her hometown ballad "Picking Rain".

Gu San's hand hovered on the trigger for a long time, and finally put the gun down, she couldn't risk her friend's life. From this point of view, Zhao Yuan'er obviously had some scars on her body, her hands were tied with ropes, and there were tears on her face.

The man's voice rang out in the valley.

"Gu Sangu-sama, I had heard a little about you before I entered Beijing, but I didn't expect to be even more surprised when I saw it today." King Zhen'an took off the helmet on his head, glanced at Concubine Kang who was still singing, and patted her hand gently, "Okay, no need to sing." ”

With his eyes, the knife behind him that was originally pressing on the throat of Concubine De and several children was finally removed. Zhao Yuan'er's eyes kept falling on the blades, and when she saw that they were all taken away, she finally stopped singing and breathed a sigh of relief. But before she could say anything more, King Zhen'an waved his hand directly and ordered his subordinates to stuff a rag into her mouth again.

"Master Gu, I'm very interested in the weapon in your hand. You see, all your are in my hands, but if you are willing to cooperate, I promise you that I will not hurt them at all. The valley was so empty that the voice of King Zhen'an echoed over and over again, "In the same way, as long as you bow down to me, I will not treat you badly." ”
