Chapter 70: Separation
Jin Sihai laughed dryly: "Becoming a king or defeating a thief is just a death, but if I die, you will never know who wants to kill you!" If you promise to let me go, I will tell you who wants me to kill you. ”
Sun Yanling said coldly: "How can you believe a capricious villain like you? Don't know what it matters? It's nothing more than the Buddha blocking and killing the Buddha, the ghost blocking and killing the ghost, I don't know today, I will know sooner or later in the future, you will be caught, I may consider considering, in front of the emperor in the future, intercede for you. ”
Jin Sihai's face changed greatly, and while commanding his subordinates to besiege Sun Yanling, he drove his horse and galloped into the distance.
Sun Yanling stretched out his hand.
Fugui handed the bow and crossbow behind him.
Sun Yanling shot at Jin Sihai's back, which was almost unfast.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh-" Three arrows in a row, two arrows for horses, and one arrow for people.
Jin Sihai fell in response.
The rest of the guards who were besieging Mama Qin and the others, seeing that the general trend had gone, hurriedly threw away the swords in their hands and shouted surrender.
Fugui led people to the golden sea.
"Hmph, I thought there was something powerful waiting in the back, I knew that it would be you, so I wouldn't let my daughter-in-law run first." Sun Yanling spat at Jin Sihai, who was dragged over.
"Sun Yanling, do you think that if you can hide this time, you will be able to avoid the next time?" Jin Sihai laughed with his mouth open and knocked out two teeth, "You don't even know who you've messed with......"
Hearing his voice gradually lower, Sun Yanling said, "It's not good, he's going to kill himself-"
When Fugui was about to pull Jin Sihai up, he found that at some point, he had stabbed the dagger he was carrying into his lower abdomen.
The stab was ruthless and accurate, obviously holding the heart of death.
In the end, it was his cousin, Fugui saw Jin Sihai's miserable appearance, hugged his head, and couldn't help shouting: "Brother, why are you ......?"
Jin Sihai opened his already dull eyes and muttered, "The prince's means...... It's better to be dead than alive, your sister-in-law and niece, in their hands......"
Just looking at the sky, Jin Sihai lost his breath.
The words were intermittent, but Sun Yanling and Fugui both understood that Jin Sihai was also forced by others, and the other party took his wife and children as hostages.
After a while, Sun Yanling said: "Haosheng buried him, and then ask the others to see what they know." ”
Although he knew that there was little hope, Fugui and his two personal guards still interrogated those individuals who surrendered one by one.
Sure enough, I didn't hear any useful news, but one of Jin Sihai's entourage said that a few days ago, Wu Yingxiong, the prince of Pingxi, had sent someone to contact Jin Sihai.
Could it be the king of Pingxi? But why did King Pingxi want his life?
Seeing Sun Yanling pondering, Fugui said in a low voice: "Young Master, maybe it's just a counter-plan, the prince and you are the same brothers, and they won't do this." ”
Sun Yanling nodded: "You and I know this matter, don't let outsiders know, senior brother is in the capital, it is already difficult, if it arouses the emperor's suspicion, I am afraid that life will be even worse." ”
He arranged for Fugui to take people to Shahe Town, and he took two personal guards, together with Mama Qin, to ride a horse to chase Kong Sizhen.
As a result, Sun Yanling sadly discovered that Sizhen and Thrush were lost.
One of the guards said worriedly, "...... The farther away from the capital, the chaos of the people is everywhere, and it is a famine year, although Gege knows martial arts, but after all, two fists are difficult to defeat four hands, or if you don't find it as soon as possible, I'm afraid that the homeless people will be able to swallow them. But we have a military order, if we are delayed, we may not be able to reach Yunnan before the appointed date, my lord, what can we do? ”
"You go and tell Zhang and Rong to take the soldiers and horses of Shahe Town and follow the original route, and I and Xiaoma and I will go to find them, and if we find them, we will chase you."
Looking at the darkening night, Sun Yanling's eyes turned downward, his eyes dimmed, and he lowered his tone and said: "Tell the general soldiers of Shahe Town that if I know that their hands and feet are not clean, and they have attacked or kidnapped them, I will definitely ask them to bury them with the whole town." ”
The guard had never seen Sun Yanling so cold, just listening to it, he felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he was covered in sweat.
He raised his head lightly, opened his mouth and wanted to explain a few sentences, but after thinking about it again, he still hugged his fists and said: "Don't worry, my lord, my subordinates will definitely bring the words." ”
Along the way, Sun Yanling didn't say a word, and the atmosphere fell strangely silent.
Sun Yanling looked at the darkness and heaviness of the night, and couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart.
**
Where is this?
The night is dark and the wind is high, and everything is silent, and it is impossible to see the direction clearly, and it is impossible to distinguish the southeast and northwest.
Sizhen closed his eyes on the horse, adjusting to the darkness.
When I opened it again, the scene in the night was clearer.
There are dark shadows all around, it is a high forest, it is a bush that is low and low......
Just now I ran all the way, and when the phantom stopped and turned back, I met a few thieves who had chased and killed them on the road, and after some fighting, although those people were killed by her and the thrush, they ran out of direction, and they didn't know which fork in the road they took.
Judging by the appearance of the forest belt, it should be several miles away from the road before them.
I just don't know, is this forest connected to the previous one?
At night, it is a mountain forest again, and any wild beast may be infested, so you have to find a place to rest as soon as possible.
Looking through the crevices separating the trees, Sizhen could only see endless trees, dead leaves piled up under the trees over the years, and some remnants of snow.
At this time, the snow on the ground has almost melted, but there is no sign of anyone walking on it.
Obviously, this is a dense forest off the beaten track.
Sizhen drove the horse, trying to find the river, and following the river, he could always go to the village and town.
However, it is not easy to find the river at night.
After looking for it for a while, she gave up.
Although before going out, they changed into Hu clothes, whether it was the brocade and gold silk dress, or the deerskin riding boots on their feet, they all showed that they were either rich or expensive, and they were two girls, even if they could win against five people, what if they met fifty or five hundred?
Stand where you are and wait for Sun Yanling to come over?
I don't know what their situation is, whether I can find them and wait for them to wait, I'm afraid that they will sit and wait for death.
Don't put your hopes in others.
This is what her father taught her.
Sizhen thought about it, discussed it with Thrush, and the two decided to lead the horse to the depths of the mountain forest.
She tied the ribbon of her hair and tied it to the tree, if Sun Yanling and they could find this, at least they knew that they had appeared in this area.
At the same time, he and the thrush reached out and folded a branch and tied it to the horse's tail, so that they could sweep away the footprints and horseshoe prints left behind them while walking.
Sizhen didn't know who the thief who was chasing them was, but the other party's posture was clearly to kill them all and cut down the grass and eradicate the roots.
People who don't know each other, just seeing the ribbon, may not think that it is them, if they see footprints and horseshoe prints again, they will definitely find them along the traces.
Why did those people rob and kill them, Sizhen didn't know, she couldn't be caught by thieves because of her own negligence.
"Gege ......"
The thrush led the horse, tried to keep his eyes open, and called Sizhen softly.
Her character, a person with golden branches and jade leaves, how can she suffer from such a rush and fatigue, and she doesn't know where the road is!
Sizhen heard some crying in the thrush's voice, and hurriedly said, "It's okay, I'm fine!" Thrush, how are you? ”
"I'm fine! Gege, General Sun, will they not find us? After saying the words, the thrush felt speechless again, Gege was several years younger than her, wouldn't it be frightening to say this by herself?
She forced out a smile and said weakly: "General Sun is so powerful, he will definitely find us, but where do we have to wait for him to find it......"
"Such an old forest, there will be a forest keeper in it, we just need to walk inside, maybe, we will find a water source, the forest keeper's house, it is impossible to be too far away from the water, even if they can't find us, when the day dawns, we can also go out along the water source and find a place with people......"
Sizhen tugged at her hair, trying to see her better.
"Gege, how do you know this?" Thrush said admiringly.
Gege is four or five years younger than her, and he knows a lot more than her!
"I love to read those local chronicles, which will not only record the mountains and rivers of a place, but also tell some methods of foraging and hunting in deserted places." Sizhen replied with a smile.
She didn't expect that the local chronicles, which were originally read for military needs, would play a role in this regard first.
"Gege, look—" After walking for an unknown amount of time, the thrush suddenly cried out with joy.
Sizhen followed the voice, looked up, and with a little starlight, he saw that in the depths of the forest, there was a small wooden house with a roof still covered with snow.
The night was dark, and if it weren't for the snow on the house, which reflected a little white light in the starlight, they might not have found the wooden house.
Sizhen's heart perked, and he motioned to the thrush to lead the horse and hide it in the open space not far from the wooden house: "I'll go over and see, if anything is wrong, you can ride the horse and run away, and then find a way to find someone to save me." ”
Thrush shook his head: "No, Gege, I'll go." ”
"Your hands and feet are not as light as mine, and it is easier to alarm people, it's okay, the kind of situation I said, just in case, in this deep mountain and old forest, there will be no thieves." Si Zhenlian said, bending down, picking up a wooden stick the thickness of his forearm, and walking lightly towards the cabin.
The remnant snow in front of the wooden house seemed to remain intact, Sizhen tiptoed up, put his ear on the door and listened, but he couldn't hear the slightest movement, and wiped the knocker with his hand, feeling the dust on his hands, and couldn't help but make up his mind.
Even so, Sizhen was still not careless, she went around to the bottom of the window and gently poked the window with her hand.
The window lattice was covered with thick paper, and it was probably blown by the wind, and it made a hula and hula sound.
Sizhen stood on tiptoe and looked in through the gap, it was black and dark, and he couldn't see anything.
