Chapter 11: Into the Thorns

After chasing seven or eight miles, a little white light suddenly shone in front of him.

The cavalry of the Black Armor Army, who rushed ahead, suddenly neighed and made a mess.

Chu River was carrying Song Nian, and he had to be a little slower, and when he stepped forward to check, he found that there were thorns all over the front.

Here, it has penetrated deep into the saline-alkali flat, and the thorns that grow densely on the saline-alkali flat stung the intruding war horses.

Song Nian looked at the thorns in front of him.

Among the thorns, those white horseshoe footprints are gradually becoming dim.

The effect of this quest radar...... There is a time limit!

"Do you have a way to keep tracking?" Chu He frowned and asked.

This escapee is the easiest target for the Black Armor Army to capture these days.

Those people before have basically entered the post-mortem process when they basically confirmed the identity of the other party.

"Yes, it's just that it can't be delayed for too long...... Song Nian said.

She looked at the saline: "Since he can go in, we should be able to too, but the route of the murderer's escape should be carefully chosen, and I think it can only accommodate one horse to pass." ”

Chu He didn't ask why Song Nian could track down that person, and after a moment of silence, he said, "Okay, then enter immediately." ”

The Thorn Land looks terrifying, but in fact, as long as the Black Armor Army is willing to pay a certain price, it is not impossible to enter.

At this moment, a horse-drawn carriage came at a rapid pace.

Song Nian and Chu He looked over, only to see the carriage stop in front of everyone, and Lin Lao panted and walked down from the carriage.

"My lord! What are you? Seeing that Chu He and Song Nian were riding together, without the intention of dismounting, Lin Lao seemed to have guessed Chu He's thoughts.

"Elder Lin, I'm going to take a team of black armor soldiers deep into this salt-alkali beach to hunt down the murderer, and I'll hand it over to you from the barracks." After Chu He finished speaking, Lin Lao hurriedly said, "My Lord Chu, you haven't stayed in the barracks much these days...... This matter of chasing the murderer can be left to his subordinates. ”

Chu He shook his head slightly, and said: "This salt-alkali beach is full of thorns, and only a small team of people can enter, the murderer is highly skilled in martial arts, and there are fewer people who go, but I am afraid that it is not the opponent of the murderer." ”

Seeing that he couldn't convince Chu He, Lin Lao sighed, asked people to take out two pigeon cages from the carriage, and handed them to Chu He: "My lord, this is a carrier pigeon just bred by his subordinates, if the adults need to transfer people to help, as long as the carrier pigeon is released, the subordinates will immediately dispatch the whole army." ”

Chu He looked at Lin Lao and said gently, "Lin Lao, it's really hard for you. ”

"Whatever the adults say, the old servant is also for the Chu family." Lin Lao arched his hand.

Song Nian hesitated for a moment, took out an oiled paper bag from his arms, handed it to Lin Lao, and instructed: "Lin Lao, you give the medicinal powder here, you give it to Su Qi'er, and let him help me feed it to those prisoners regularly." The amount of feeding, I have written on the paper packet. ”

Lin Lao took it carefully: "Lord Song, don't worry." ”

Song Nian sighed, this was originally written by her habit after she divided the medicinal powder, she was afraid that she would forget it, but she didn't expect it to come in handy now.

People can walk, but experiments can't stop, this is the life of a medical dog.

Chu He nodded slightly, then handed the carrier pigeon to the rider behind him, turned the horse's head, and walked slowly towards the thorn bush.

A group of black-armored army riders, following the Chu River war horses, also slowly entered the thorn bushes.

Lin Lao was behind, watching Chu He and Song Nian gradually move away, and shouted hoarsely: "Lord Song, protect me Lord Chu!" ”

Song Nian almost lost his mind when he heard this, and fell off the horse.

I'm a weak woman, how can I protect your family Master Chu?

Chu He didn't seem to hear it, and said lightly: "Lord Song, pay attention to leading the way......"

……

Seeing that the figures of Chu He and the black-armored soldiers completely disappeared into the night, Lin Lao sighed: "The Chu family, from generation to generation, is it that they are all doing this at the cost of their lives...... Alas, when it comes to this woman, I'm afraid it's even more ......"

Song Nian didn't know that Lin Lao was pulling herself behind her back, she was engrossed in identifying the horseshoe prints on the ground, otherwise, if she made a mistake and the war horse was stabbed by thorns and went crazy, it would really be over.

She thought about not using war horses, but without war horses, after the traces on the ground disappeared, it would be even more difficult to find.

This is saline-alkali land, and when the wind blows casually, all traces are annihilated.

She can track it now, but it's on the benefit of the system.

Phew, the welfare of the fart is burned by the old lady who burned the pages.

……

In this way, after a whole night, Song Nian and the others finally crossed this saline-alkali land.

With the help of Chu He, Song Nian jumped off the bloodied war horse with scraped limbs, still having palpitations.

By dawn, the pages of the system mission radar had finally burned out.

The marks on the ground were completely dispersed, and at this time, Song Nian couldn't find the road, and mistakenly broke into a thorn from the thorns, and the stinging war horse galloped wildly, and the frightened Song Nian's soul fell.

If the horse stumbles...... Song Nian looked at the dense thorns in front of him, and he trembled.

But fortunately, this place is not far from the periphery, and the runaway war horse rushed out of the thorns from behind, almost rushing into the river in front of him in a madness, but fortunately it was firmly restrained by the Chu River.

The reason for the disappearance of this saline land is also because of its proximity to the river

The rider in the back also followed because the thorn bushes in front of him were trampled away by the war horses of the Chu River, but they did not suffer much.

The war horse of the Chu River was extremely majestic, and Song Nian just gave this war horse some gold sore medicine to stop the blood on the surface of the body.

However, this is also because the thorn only scratches the surface of the body, and the wound is not deep.

You can't ride a horse, you can only lead the horse forward.

Chu He led the horse and walked beside Song Nian, and asked in a low voice, "Can you still trace that person?" ”

Song Nian had experience this time, and first glanced at the system interface.

I found that there is a new task in the system task interface.

This should be the task of burning the pages of the book.

——

Active Mission: Track down the real culprit of the corpses in the river valley.

Reward: 100 fragments.

——

Song Nian frowned, the corpse in the river valley? The quest reward is actually 100 fragments? So generous? The task must be extremely difficult.

She thought for a moment, and faintly felt that the remnants of this river valley should be related to the border army, and suddenly asked, "Is there a fortress of the border army near here?" ”

Zhang Heiniu said: "Lord Song, this is a border land, and further north, there must be a fortress of the border army. ”

Song Nian frowned: "Can you know what the name is?" ”

Zhang Hei shook his head: "My subordinates don't know." ”

Song Nian was slightly disappointed. However, Chu He said: "I have seen the map of the border army. ”

He pointed to the river ahead: "Along this river to the north, there is the earthen fort of the border army, and in the east and west directions of the earthen fort, there are also stretches of forts and beacon towers. If you go down the river, it is Guojiabao. ”

Song Nian suddenly realized that this night, he was from Guangqiu County, did not take the waterway, and directly crossed to Guojiabao to the upper reaches.
