Chapter 534: Escape
Jia Min and his party traveled day and night, and most of them walked on those remote paths. The path is tortuous and uneven, and naturally there is no official road to walk smoothly. The carriage Jia Min was riding in was inconspicuous on the outside, but it was remodeled on the inside, and several layers of thick quilts were spread inside, but despite this, the bumps for several days also made Jia Min feel very uncomfortable.
Qi Lan saw that Jia Min's complexion was getting worse day by day, so he asked Jia Min: "Master! Why don't we take the official road, if it is so bumpy for a few more days, I'm afraid your body won't be able to stand it! ”
"It's okay! We had already made a lot of detours, and we only walked at night, and the speed was certainly not as fast as during the day. Now we need to enter Shandong as soon as possible, and the people sent by the husband to pick us up should have already arrived in Shandong, as long as we connect with them, our safety will be more guaranteed! Where are we now? ”
"We're not far from Texas, and if nothing else, we should be able to enter Texas in two days."
"We've been quiet all the way, and I feel a little uneasy! It stands to reason that the royal guards should have noticed that I was not on the ship, so why didn't they come looking for us at this time? ”
"Maybe we're lucky we didn't meet them!" Qi Lan said.
"Maybe! But I think it's better to be cautious and send someone to explore the way ahead! ”
"Yes! Subordinates obey! ”
Qi Lan sent someone to explore the way, and the news that came back was that no suspicious people were found on the official road. Qi Lan still wanted to persuade Jia Min to take the official road, but Jia Min resolutely refused.
"No, I always feel that something is wrong, the means of the royal secret guard are high, the calmer it is, the more it means that this is not normal! I insisted that we continue to take the trail and detour! ”
Qi Lan couldn't resist it, and Jia Min could only order his subordinates who were driving to be as slow and steady as possible.
This night, when they walked less than a hundred miles away from Texas City, Qi Lan suddenly felt a trace of murderous aura, and with a dodge between the lightning and flint, he dodged a sudden cold arrow. The arrow pierced into the carriage in which Jia Min was riding, and the arrow shimmered in the moonlight.
Qi Lan quickly reacted, and with an order, everyone dismounted and quickly gathered around the carriage, surrounding the carriage.
"Master! Don't come out and lie down in the carriage and don't make a sound! ”
"I see!" After listening to Qi Lan's words, Jia Min obediently lay down, and unconsciously protected his hands on his stomach.
As soon as Qi Lan's words fell, a storm of arrows came towards them with the sound of breaking wind. More than seventy people, their horses were in the forefront, and after a cup of tea, all the horses were shot into hedgehog shapes, and they fell down one after another after a neighing.
Immediately afterwards, a group of black-clothed men slashed over with swords in their hands, and quickly met Qi Lan. Qi Lan's more than seventy people have all been trained by Qi Lan's heart, and every move must be a killing move, although they do not have an advantage in numbers, they can fight with these two hundred royal guards in a short period of time.
As time passed, the physical strength of both sides decreased, and casualties began to occur. Qi Lan saw that there were more than a dozen dead and injured on his side, his eyes flashed, and he ordered Xin Seventeen to let him take half of the people to drag those royal secret guards, and he left here with the rest of the people with Jia Min.
Jia Min had long known that Qi Lan and they wouldn't be able to withstand it for too long, so she ate an elixir in advance in the carriage to protect the child in her belly. Sure enough, not long after eating, Qi Lan came over to call her.
Jia Min was surrounded by Qi Lan and them in the middle and killed in one direction, Jia Min held a short sword with a dark body and no light in his hand, and occasionally helped Qi Lan and them block attacks from behind.
Gradually, Jia Min and the others moved away from the battlefield, and it seemed that they couldn't even hear the sound of the swords clashing. Jia Min couldn't compare to Qi Lan and they had such good physical strength and stamina, but they kept running forward in order to escape.
They ran into a wood, and when Qi Lan saw that Jia Min's forehead was pale, he ordered to stop and rest.
Jia Min was glad that he had taken the elixir in advance, otherwise he had been running so desperately for so long, I am afraid that the child in his belly would have rebelled a long time ago!
"Master! What about you? Is there anything wrong with it? ”
"I'm fine! Wait for me...... Take a breath and let's ...... Let's hit the road right away, no ...... here I can stay for a long time! Jia Min gasped for breath as she spoke.
"Can you really still run?" Otherwise, I'll have you carried on your back! ”
Jia Min shook her head, although Qi Lan was out of good intentions, but Jia Min couldn't ignore etiquette, if she really let a man carry her away, she would definitely not be able to stand it! "It's okay, it's just that I'm in a bit of a hurry, just rest for a while!"
After Jia Min slowed down for a while, he got up and said, "Let's go!" ”
Qi Lan glanced at Jia Min worriedly, with his super hearing, he had already heard that the pursuers behind him were less than a hundred feet away from them.
"Dark thirty-six, you take ten people to set up an ambush here and drag the pursuers!" After Qi Lan finished speaking, he took Jia Min and the rest of the people and continued to run forward.
Jia Min and they kept walking through the woods, and when the sky gradually brightened, they finally saw the end of the woods. Not far from the woods, there is an official road running north-south.
"We can't go south, the pursuers behind will definitely think that we are going south, let's go the opposite, go north, find a place to hide first!" When Jia Min saw that Qi Lan was going to take someone to the south, he immediately spoke.
Qi Lan thought for a moment and agreed to Jia Min's words, and led the people to the north.
But less than a quarter of an hour after they had gone north, they were confronted by the outflanking royal guards.
This time they faced each other, because Jia Min and they only had twenty people left, and they were tired all night, and they gradually became a little overwhelmed. To make matters worse, the pursuers in the back quickly caught up. The twenty men were soon surrounded by these royal guards, and they were even more fierce towards them. And this time, they didn't care about Jia Min's life as they did just now, and they shot at Jia Min several times. Fortunately, Jia Min's kung fu over the years has not been in vain, although he can't kill the enemy, he can barely block the enemy's attack.
Jia Min raised his sword to block a blow, but the sword in his hand was knocked out because of the loss of strength. Seeing that the sword of a royal secret guard was about to stab him, Jia Min instinctively closed his eyes. Then the expected pain did not come, and she opened her eyes to see a small body in front of her, the sword of the royal guard piercing his chest, and the sword in his hand stabbed at the same time.
