Chapter 292: Deep Mountains (2)

From the conversation of the person who was chasing and killing yesterday, Qin Yining analyzed a few points.

First, from the accents of these people, it can be judged that they are from the Great Zhou in the north.

Second, they were ordered by a "Hou Ye" to intercept and kill people surnamed Qin.

Third, these people stayed to search the mountain, and if they didn't kill the person surnamed Qin, they were afraid that they would not be able to make a difference.

Fourth, the martial arts of these people fought with the Tiger Ben army who escorted the subordinates, although they could not win completely, they did not give in much.

So here's the problem. Which army are these well-organized men who are not inferior to the Tiger Ben Army in martial arts?

Who is this "Hou Ye" who ordered to intercept and kill the Qin family?

Which other marquis in the Great Zhou Dynasty has the ability to lead two or three hundred skilled soldiers out to intercept and kill them?

Qin Yining would not suspect that these people were sent by Emperor Zhou.

Emperor Zhou asked the ministers of the Yan Dynasty to help him balance the two forces in the court. If you don't want to surrender, you can not persuade you to surrender at the beginning, and there is no need to send someone to kill you halfway.

Therefore, this interception must be a high-powered "Hou Ye" who holds military power and deceived the emperor of the Zhou Dynasty.

Qin Yining already had an answer in his mind.

Could it really be the Marquis of Dingbei who worshiped Emperor Xiao and Emperor Zhou at the beginning?

Shouldn't the Marquis of Dingbei be stationed on the border between the Great Zhou and Tatars with the Long Xiang army? How could someone be here at this time?

If the assassins were only targeting the Qin family, why did those fake bandits kill so many innocent people at the front of the team?

If it weren't for the Qin family, she would have heard the conversation between the two assassins again.

Ten thousand thoughts can't be straightened out at once, but Qin Yining can be sure of one thing now, that is, she has to hide her life for the past few days, and she must not go down the mountain immediately.

The Assassins had been ordered to come, and if they didn't take the heads back, they wouldn't be able to do so, and they would show up.

She only has one person, and she can't beat them, so she can only hide.

Fortunately, she has experience in surviving in the mountains and forests. Although it was the season when there was no grass growing in winter, Qin Yining was still confident that he could persevere.

However, when he thought that Lian Shengjie must be beating his chest now, Qin Yining's heart was full of joy again.

Lian Shengjie was ordered to accept the surrender of the letter and the table, since he returned to Beijing with the king of Yanjun and the ministers of Dayan, he naturally had to take protective measures.

Now that such a tragic thing will happen on the road, if Emperor Zhou knows that Long Yan is angry, the most important thing is that Lian Shengjie's old face is afraid that there will be no place to put it down.

Lian Shengjie and Xiao Xiao have always been at odds, this time he first made a secret envoy, using her to lure Xiao Xiao into the bait, and after the plan failed, he blatantly came to take away Xiao Xiao's opportunity to enjoy honor.

Now that the Tiger Ben Army has left him with a hundred people, he can still ask a group of mountain bandits to rob him halfway, and he has killed and injured so many subordinates and their families.

This time, even if Lian Shengjie has ten mouths, he can't explain it clearly in front of Emperor Zhou.

Since the subordinates of the "Hou Ye" came pretending to be bandits, they must have made it impossible for Emperor Zhou to catch his pigtails.

Lian Shengjie's unfavorable escort and the powerless scandal of being killed by the rabble of "mountain bandits" must not be able to cover it.

Thinking of this, Qin Yining was equivalent to seeing the situation in front of him, and the depression in his heart could finally be dissipated.

Once she had made up her mind, she immediately went out in search of food.

Without tools, she searched for suitable branches to replace them, and found many dead grass ropes to make traps to catch some small animals.

It's just that there are no tools, and it is really not easy to hunt prey on the snowy mountains in winter.

Qin Yining spent the whole day looking for food.

In winter, there are no wild vegetables and fruits to impact, and if you want to catch birds, you have neither a net nor a bait, and it is difficult to rely on her simple little traps to catch some small animals.

Hungry, she searched the woods with great care, and instead of catching her prey, she found four corpses.

The four people had all turned into white bones, and the clothes on their bodies could vaguely be seen that three of them were wearing the military uniforms of the Great Zhou, and the other was wearing the clothes of ordinary people, the position and posture of their falls, as well as the severed arms and heads, Qin Yining could be sure that this should be a story of one enemy and three people who finally died together.

After many years of turmoil, there will be such a tragedy anywhere, and I can't imagine that such a scene can be seen in the deep mountains that are rarely populated.

Qin Yining sighed.

But luckily, there are weapons available next to these corpses!

Qin Yining picked up a machete, a short sword, two daggers, a bundle of ropes, an empty water bladder, and a purse with a few medicines that I don't know what they were.

Qin Yining picked up all the useful things, and then continued to look for food.

Fortunately, it didn't take long for Qin Yining to find a water source and find a small stream that had not yet frozen, and it was easy to catch a hibernating frog in the evening, and return to his "nest" to roast and eat.

It is no wonder that people in the world will do whatever it takes to compete for power and money.

Only with these two things can people live comfortably.

However, although this kind of day is uncomfortable, Qin Yining is also willing to eat it. Smelling the rich aroma of the meat when roasting frogs, Qin Yining thought optimistically: If you are lucky today, you may be able to catch a hare tomorrow. When the time comes, I am not afraid that I will starve to death.

Just as she was thinking wildly, she suddenly heard a "creaking" sound of stepping on the snow.

Qin Yining almost threw the frog away, and hurriedly picked up a short sword he picked up and held it in his hand, looking vigilantly at the direction where the voice came from.

At that moment, a strong wind blew, and the bushes shook, and a fluffy thing about three feet tall ran away at once.

What animal is it?

Qin Yining stared at that direction for a while, and was relieved to find that there were no beasts.

Qin Yining thought again: Fortunately, she didn't encounter a wild wolf, otherwise it would be more dangerous.

Just eating a test frog that actually didn't have much meat and didn't have much taste, Qin Yining felt a lot warmer on his body.

She began to lay dry straw in her nest.

At that moment, she seemed to hear a slight rustle again, and out of the corner of her eye, she saw a figure rushing past.

Qin Yining became solemn this time.

What kind of critter is this? Why is it so fast, it looks like a leopard with strong skills!

Qin Yining remained silent, took all the weapons he picked up in his hand, and hurriedly picked up a torch prepared on the fire. If there are small animals, they should be afraid of fire.

Standing in such a stalemate for a long time, the little creature did not reappear.

Qin Yining breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the little thing had run away.

So she went back to make her nest with hay.

At this moment, Qin Yining suddenly felt something behind him.

Suddenly turning around, I saw a figure approaching.

It was a child of about seven or eight years old, dressed in thick animal skins, with a dirty face and messy hair. At this moment he was placing a half-burned hare beside her fire.

Xu didn't expect her to turn back suddenly, the child was startled, and his eyes suddenly widened.

Qin Yining said in astonishment: "Hey, you ......"

Before he could finish speaking, the boy turned around and ran, as fast as a gust of wind.

Qin Yining suddenly realized that the "little animal" she saw just now was this child!
