Chapter 24: The Pursuers

You haven't told me yet, what the hell happened to Sophia Madan patted her horse and caught up with Joyka in front

There was annoyance on her face, because when she was washing, Joica suddenly broke down the door, and Sophia was still in her pajamas, and she hugged her hands to her chest, shocked and ashamed, but Joika didn't care, he threw her the priest's robe that Sophia had put on the side of the bed, and then shouted nervously: We can't stay in this town any longer, we must leave at once

Seeing that Joyka did not answer, Sophia rushed in front of him and suddenly grabbed the reins

Joyka quickly tightened the reins, and before his mount let out a tearing roar, his feet rose into the air and the two horses nearly collided

Do you know that it was very dangerous for you to do that just now, Joyka said a little unhappily

You're embarrassed to say that Sophia has a full face full of anger, and you tell me honestly, where did you run all night yesterday, did you get into any trouble, and came back

In fact, when Joyka pushed the door open and came in, Sophia had already guessed where the guy had been hiding all night, and now she just wanted to get confirmation from the person in question

It's not that I'm in trouble, it's that you, Joey, are pulling the reins and making the horse spin in circles

It's me, Sophia, I don't know what it means

This is not the place to talk, let's go to the front, and then Joyka shouted and drove the horse forward, and Sophia had no choice but to continue to chase after her

The two men and two horses had been running for nearly twenty kilometers to the east, when they noticed a village on the side of the road

Joika, let's go to the village and take a rest, Sophia pointed to the village and shouted to Joika who was running ahead

Can't drill into a crowded place, Joyka replied to her, and continued to charge forward on horseback

Sophia didn't know what kind of medicine was in his gourd, so she could only manipulate the horse she stepped on, and followed closely

After another half an hour, the two horses ran into a grove, and because of the long and vigorous running, both horses collapsed in different places

Let's just stop here for a while, we can hold the horses, and Sophia is a little distressed about the horses, and she proposes to Joyka again

Well, after looking around, Joika rolled over and dismounted, after making sure there was no danger

The two tied their horses to a nearby tree, and the two horses greedily gouged the fresh grass roots on the ground to replenish their newly lost bodies, and Joika handed a water bag to Sophia, who gently pushed it away

You can tell me now what the hell happened to me, how did I get into trouble

Princess Sophia, Joyka, wiped the sweat on her head, and your identity as a princess of the previous dynasty was discovered

After sitting down under a tree, Joyka tells Sophia in detail about the attack he had been attacked early this morning, and the fact that he was hiding in the kitchen of the house and overheard the gang talking to Princess Sophia, and then Joika told Sophia, using her years of experience as a bounty hunter: I have a sense that we may be followed

Is what you said true, Sophia was a little shocked after hearing this, but she quickly regained her composure, Forget it, I've been hiding for twelve years, but it's time to come, it's still coming, it's impossible to hide forever

But we don't have time to dwell on those people now, because we don't know who they are, how many people they have, how powerful they are, and we must now rush to Shangri-La, the border city between the Pole Kingdom and the Elven Republic, and said that if Cassius they arrive first, it will be troublesome if they can't find us

So what are you going to do, Sophia asks Joika, a scheming guy who has always had a way of dealing with all kinds of troubles

Look at it, Joyka smiled slyly

He came to the two horses that were eating, untied their reins, and slapped them vigorously on their buttocks, and under the stimulus of pain, the two horses neighed loudly, and then ran forward quickly

Why did you drive all the horses away, so why should we get rid of the tracking, and when Sophia saw Joika's movements, she immediately tried to stop it, but it was too late, and the two horses had already run away

Seeing that Sophia didn't seem to understand, he added, believe me, I've been a bounty hunter for so long, and I often encounter all kinds of times when I am hunted by the enemy, but they have not succeeded once

Then Joey caraed Sophia to a tall bush and crouched down

What are you going to do, Sophia thinks Joika is going to do rude things to her

Shh

After a few minutes, there was a faint sound of horses' hooves from far and near from where they had come, and soon after, Sophia and Joyka saw a dozen men from behind the bushes, and when they had reached the place where they had been resting, the man at the front made a gesture for everyone to stop

Although these people were wrapped in a wide robe, Joyka guessed the weapons and armor hidden under the cover, and although she did not know the identities of these people, she could conclude that these people were not simple

The men crouched on the ground, studying the footprints on the ground, and then the man in the lead said: he must have rested here, and had just run that way, and he pointed in the direction in which Sophia and Joyka's horses were running

A group of people got on their horses and got ready to go

Remember, the leader said to his companion behind him that our target is a tall, thin, dark man, and he must be captured alive in order to interrogate Princess Sophia's whereabouts, so this guy must not die, understand?

I understood that the dozen or so people behind shouted the same voice

Then the group of people, led by the leader, hurried in the direction of the two horses

When the mysterious stalkers ran away, two figures emerged from the bushes nearby

See, I didn't lie to you, Joyka said to Sophia

Sophia didn't answer, she hung her head silently, and the scene just now reminded her of the past twelve years ago

This is how Uncle John sent Peake to lure his pursuers away
