Chapter 356: Endless Pursuit
Qin Wushu silently took a bite of the snow, feeling the cold snow turn into a cold current in his mouth, and then it went down his throat to his stomach.
At this moment, I finally felt a trace of hunger.
In Qin's invincible realm, he naturally shouldn't feel any hunger.
Just as Su Mu was able to stay in the Ancestral Dragon Temple for ten days safely, it stands to reason that Qin Wushu should also have this ability, as long as the Qi energy in his body is not exhausted, he does not need to eat food in time.
But it was obvious that Qin Wushu was really hungry at this time, a feeling of hunger from the body and spirit, which was constantly eroding Qin Wuving's nerves.
The reason why powerful knights can go without food for a long time is obviously to replace the supply with Qi energy.
And now Qin Invincible, obviously he doesn't have enough Qi energy to manage hunger, and even the Qi energy he has to use in battle is extremely calculating.
Qin Wudi and his sister Qin Wuxian had been hunted down by the Imperial Secret Guard and the dragoon for ten whole days.
Within ten days, there were at least dozens of battles between the two sides, and on the most recent day, there were even more than 10 confrontations between the two sides.
This has obviously forced the powerful Qin Invincible into a desperate situation.
Not to mention, while Qin Wushu successfully escaped from the high walls of the imperial capital, he had actually been hit hard by ordinary people in an unimaginable way, and he had been fighting hard with his wounded body.
Even if it weren't for the fact that the Qi power turbine provided by Maggie was indeed able to shake off most of the troops trying to encircle, I'm afraid that even Qin Wushu wouldn't have been able to hold out today.
"I dug up some shallow roots that could slightly ease the recovery of physical energy. ”
Qin Wuqi was indeed more resolute than people imagined, although her combat power was far lower than Qin Wu's, and she could only barely clean up the miscellaneous fish in the battle.
But in the ten days of difficult escape, she didn't even say a word of nonsense, but silently provided her brother with slightly better supplies.
Since Qin Wushu was able to decisively betray the so-called family and empire for her sake.
No matter what difficulties and dangers there are now, Qin Wuxian will not hesitate to follow Qin Wuxian.
......
Seeing this, Qin Wushu finally had a difficult smile on the corner of his mouth.
Then he gently took the roots that Qin Wulian had dug up, chewing the bitter and shriveled rhizomes without saying a word, while continuing to confirm the location of the pursuers in the wind and snow.
The reason why Qin Wushu and the others stopped here was obviously not to dig up some tree roots for consumption.
In yesterday's battle, because of the arrival of that imperial dragoon, even Qin Wushu had to pay an extremely tragic price, so he broke through the encirclement and fled again.
Thankfully, there was an incomparably huge snowstorm last night, which completely buried the traces of the engine driving, so that the pursuers temporarily lost the trace of Qin Invincible.
Therefore, after dawn today, Qin Wuxian decisively stopped moving forward, not allowing the traces of the turbine that were more easily found in the daytime, exposing himself and Qin Wuxian to their eyes again.
Yet at some point, Heaven is always so unsatisfactory.
Just as Qin Wushu was waiting for the night to come, the wind and snow, which was still quite huge, suddenly disappeared into this barren mountain range.
Without the wind and snow sweeping wheel seal, whether it is in the day or at night, it is actually extremely easy for people to find the traces of Qin Wushu and the others.
And without the shroud of the white curtain, it was naturally easier for the Imperial Dragoon to easily spot the Qin Invincible two hidden in the forest from those condescending positions.
"We can't wait any longer, it looks like the wind and snow won't be coming for the time being, and if we really wait for the dragoons to be the first to spot us, it will be even more difficult for us to break through the encirclement. ”
After Qin Wushu made this decision, he had already neatly pulled out the alchemy turbine from the snow.
Then he also stepped on the turbine neatly, and in the sound of the operation of the alchemy core, the pre-departure warm-up for the Qi Power turbine began.
Seeing this, Qin Wupian resolutely stepped onto the back seat of the engine.
Swiftly tied the long knives and short spears he had snatched in the middle of the battle behind him, using them as long-range throwing blades for use.
When the two of them packed their bags, the alchemy turbine stabbed out again with a roar.
At this point, Qin Wushu no longer cared if he would be discovered by the trackers.
The only thing he cared about was ...... Can you successfully escape from the opponent's circle again before the secret guards really form a surroundment!
......
"Your Majesty, among the Imperial Secret Guards, there are obviously no high-level knights. Therefore, it will undoubtedly be extremely difficult for them to hunt down Qin Invincible. ”
The person who said this sentence was none other than Yang Zimu, who was once mistaken for the Chosen One.
And Yang Zimu's words are not accusing anything, but stating a very simple fact.
Of course, there are no high-level knights in the Imperial Secret Guard, and any strong person who succeeds in reaching the high-level will be given a more important role.
Or defend a party's territory, or lead an army, or even ascend to the court as an imperial general.
It's just unlikely...... is still hiding in the dark and dealing with the royal secrets.
This is actually a check and balance on the internal official system, although the imperial secret guard controlled by the internal official has huge power, but there are no other high-level powerhouses except for the chief of the internal official.
Therefore, even if they are extremely favored by the emperor, it is impossible for them to really gain power and dictatorship.
However, the result of this also caused Qin Wushu to successfully escape.
It was precisely because there were no high-level powerhouses in the secret guards that they failed to capture Qin Wushu directly, but allowed Qin Wushu to successfully escape from the imperial capital.
"The minister asked for his order and personally arrested Qin Wuving. ”
A certain figure beside Yang Zimu did not shy away from kneeling directly to ask for his life.
This person is Qin Liang, who is in the same line as the Qin family.
But in response to Qin Liang's request, the Emperor of the Empire, who was sitting on the soft throne, did not agree to Qin Liang's request, but continued to look at Yang Zimu, who raised this question, and continued to ask lightly:
"In your opinion, should I increase the strength of the Dark Guard, or should I send Qin Liang to temporarily join the Dark Guard to participate in the pursuit?"
The emperor's question is obviously deliberately difficult.
Now, neither the chief of the internal officials standing next to the emperor nor Qin Liang, who had just asked for his own life, did not dare to intervene in this dialogue again.
could only wait quietly, Yang Zimu gave the emperor an answer.
However, Yang Zimu's reply clearly explains why Yang Zimu is not only the most valued by the emperor among the three of them, but even his status is faintly higher than the other two.
"Your Majesty, neither of these methods is the best solution at this time. The best solution is actually to secretly put this matter on the table, and stop chasing it with the secret guard as the main force. ”
"Now that the Imperial Dragoons are on the side, they already know about Qin Invincible's escape. It would be better to directly order the imperial dragoons and let a high-level dragoon rider go and personally hunt down Qin Invincible. ”
"And more importantly, even if this matter is exposed in the future, after all, the reputation accumulated by the Imperial Dragoon since ancient times is far greater than that of Qin Invincible today. With the two canceling out, people naturally forget about the inappropriateness of the empire. ”
Yang Zimu's answer not only cleverly avoided the harsh questions about the emperor, but also clearly gave a solution.
When the emperor heard this, he finally showed a trace of satisfaction.
"The cavalry general Sun Lan has already set off, although it is inconvenient for me to give him a killing order against Qin Invincible, but presumably in terms of his ability, it is not difficult to defeat and bring back Qin Invincible. ”
"And the order I gave Sun Lan is a first-class military order that cannot be disobeyed, even if he Qin Invincible successfully escapes from the empire, the cavalry general Sun Lan will definitely not choose to give up so easily. ”
"Whether it is the three kingdoms of Tianzhu or the Siamese country, which is already like a pug, there must be no one side...... Dare to stop the Imperial Dragoons from entering the country and arrest them!"
