Chapter 347: Traces of Departure
The shadow maid was secretly ruthless, but when he came to the north house, the people inside had already disappeared, and the opponent was obviously a first-class dead man, and the technique was very professional, leaving almost no traces, and the shadow maid only found a small footprint at the door of the north house.
This footprint was only the outline of the toes, and it was not conspicuous on the dusty floor, especially when mixed with the messy footprints of the previous soldiers, and it was difficult to spot.
However, the Shadow Maiden was very familiar with this kind of footprint, because it was left by the exertion of her toes when she used light exercises.
The shadow maid flew up in the direction of the footprints, and jumped to the roof, and sure enough, there was a small crack on the roof tiles, which should have been the man walking in a hurry, not paying attention to the strength of his feet, which would slightly step on the roof tiles A little crack.
She looked around and saw that the position in front of her happened to be the fastest way out of the city, and with a sneer in her heart, she flew out like a ghost against the roof, chasing after the guy who had never seen her face.
A few streets away, the two black shadows looked coldly at the shadow maid and suddenly let out a sneer.
These two people were none other than Xiao Si and the leading city patrol soldiers who had entered the small courtyard to check before.
"Won't you leave her behind?"
The leading soldier no longer had the condescending tone he had before, and asked Xiao Si respectfully.
Xiao Si lost his previous flattery, shook his head and said, "If you keep her, won't the previous arrangements be in vain?" ”
The soldier puzzled, "I don't understand, why did you first guide that person to find what Han Qi left behind, and then expose his location to the woman?" ”
Xiao Si smiled: "Because I want to watch a good show, I have to let them get the things, but I can't let Xu Rui be defenseless." ”
The soldier was stunned: "So, that woman can't catch up with that person?" ”
Xiao Si nodded: "With the time we delayed, that person should have run away, although he was seriously injured, it shouldn't be a big problem just to escape." ”
The soldier shook his head: "I really don't understand, what needs to go around in such a big circle, can't it just take them all down?" ”
Xiao Si glanced at him and sneered: "You can't talk about it with a stupid person like you, you will never understand what the prince wants, go and do your own thing, everything will rot in your stomach tonight, understand?" ”
The soldier hurriedly bowed down and said, "Don't worry, I understand." ”
Xiao Si nodded in satisfaction, turned and disappeared into the darkness.
In Xichuan, which has been lost for a long time, in the night, Tian Qiwei hidden in the valley is only one step away from the Tianhe Pass that was broken by them, and the mountain to the west is Han Qi's lair, Qingtian County, where Tian Qiwei stopped.
"I didn't expect this path to go straight to the back of Tianhe Pass, and it is so close to Qingtian County."
Cao Siyuan held the map, compared the markings on it, and looked at Tianhe Pass in the distance, which was lit with sparks, and couldn't stop admiring.
Behind him, the warriors of the Apocalypse Guard were like industrious worker ants, building battle fortifications on the high ground.
This has almost become the standard configuration of the Apocalypse, and it is convenient to carry out civil engineering operations everywhere they go, and every time at this time, the soldiers know that they are going to fight again.
"What's going on at Tianhe Pass?"
At this time, Xu Rui walked slowly towards Cao Siyuan on crutches, Cao Siyuan hurriedly put down the map, took two steps up, and held his hand.
Xu Rui recovered faster than expected, and he was able to barely walk on the ground in the past few days, and everyone was very happy about it, but Xu Rui's heart was not only not the slightest joy, but was full of worries.
There is only one reason for the rapid recovery, that is, the genetic medicine in his body is still working, and the genetic medicine itself is poisonous, the more it works, the deeper the poisoning will be, and I am afraid that the final result will be an untimely death.
At present, the effects of genetic medicine are long beyond his control, and there is nothing he can do except worry powerlessly.
Xu Rui can only let the genetic medicine that is rampant in his body go unchecked, but he just hopes that he will not die too soon, at least after he lays a good foundation for the industry of this world.
If you want to say the most unacceptable thing in front of you, I'm afraid this is this.
"Tianhe Pass was previously damaged by our artillery, but the first thing the Cui family did after controlling Xichuan was to rebuild it.
Cao Siyuan whispered in Xu Rui's ear.
"Nothing else has been discovered?"
Xu Rui asked again.
"Yes!"
Cao Siyuan said: "The enemy has obviously hoarded heavy troops there, but it is unknown how many there are. ”
Xu Rui nodded: "Do you think Zhang Zuofeng can succeed this time?" ”
Cao Siyuan said with a smile: "Of course you can, since you are a handsome, there is no reason to fail, Zhang Zuofeng acted according to the plan of the handsome, and naturally everything went well." ”
Xu Rui glanced at him and said angrily: "When did even you learn to pat on the back?" ”
Cao Siyuan said with a smile: "I said everything from the bottom of my heart, but there is something unclear. ”
"What's the matter?"
Xu Rui asked as he walked forward.
Cao Siyuan said: "Marshal, although the Wuling pro-army has been defeated at the moment, the main force still exists, why don't we fight them, but return to Xichuan impatiently?"
Also, since we are back in Xichuan, why don't we just take the waterway? This is not only faster, but also can bypass the Tianhe Pass, and the action is very secretive.
On the other hand, now, once we really attack Tianhe Pass, I'm afraid that the entire Xichuan will know that we are back, and with our little man, there is a chance that we will be strangled by the enemy, which is very unfavorable. ”
When Xu Rui heard this, he pointed to the map that Cao Siyuan was sandwiched under his armpit, Cao Siyuan immediately opened the map, Xu Rui's finger clicked a few places on it, and said lightly.
"You see that this is the march route of the Wuling pro-army after the defeat of the decisive battle, do you see anything?"
Cao Siyuan looked carefully at the places Xu Rui ordered, frowned and thought for a moment, but still shook his head.
Xu Rui said: "These places have two things in common, first, they are all big cities that are likely to hoard a large amount of grain and grass, and second, they are moving south step by step, and they have obviously given up the strategy of continuing to go north, I am afraid that nine times out of ten they plan to withdraw their troops and return to China." ”
Cao Siyuan was stunned: "By the way, we burned their grain and grass, and now they are probably looking for food everywhere, as for the withdrawal of troops, they only have one way to return to China, that is, through Xichuan, do you want to take Xichuan first and set up obstacles for their way back?" ”
Cao Si's tone was stunned, and Yuan was puzzled: "Didn't you say that the hundreds of thousands of Southern Dynasty troops in Northern Qi might raid our country from the southeast?" The Wuling pro-army can respond to it, why did they retreat and return to China at this time? ”
Xu Rui's face gradually became solemn: "Except for going around the border of our country, the hundreds of thousands of Southern Korean troops in the Northern Qi Dynasty have not made any achievements at all, it is like a grand armed parade."
This is not like the style of King Wuling, if he really wants to fight, he will definitely try his best to hide his marching route, how can it be easily detected by us? ”
"Are you saying that King Wuling never intended to attack our country from the southeast front from the beginning?"
Cao Siyuan was stunned.
Xu Rui nodded: "The southeast front has found the figure of the enemy army, which just shows that they can't fight, and it also shows that the Wuling pro-army really wants to escape."
It's just that King Wuling's move to arm the parade is really good, Xiao Jinwu and Liu Yi were involved on both sides, and they have lost the best opportunity to encircle and annihilate the Wuling army, and now they can only watch them leave calmly, so I will run to Xichuan impatiently. ”
Saying that, Xu Rui sighed and said: "We have too many things to do in Xichuan, we must take the first step to lay a good foundation, otherwise as soon as the Wuling pro-army leaves, the holy army will be killed immediately, and when the time comes, it will be someone else's feast, how can we still have our share?" ”
"A big meal?"
Cao Siyuan was confused about Xu Rui's statement, and Xu Rui didn't explain much.
At this time, An Ge hurried over from a mountain road, greeted Cao Siyuan, and then whispered in Xu Rui's ear: "Young master, the news has just come from the dark pile, and the place has been found." ”
"So fast?"
Xu Rui's eyes froze, nodded and said, "Let's go, let's take a look!" ”
As he spoke, he took An Ge and walked away quickly, Cao Siyuan was stunned, not knowing where they were going.
