Chapter 222: Urgent Need for Rescue
Xie Weining pulled Lan Jing'an, and the two of them desperately fled in no direction, but after a while, they were about to be caught up again. What's worse is that Lan Jing'an has already heard the sound of feather arrows breaking through the air, she is most familiar with this voice, carefully distinguished, and at the last moment, she stopped, used all her strength, and pulled Xie Weining into her arms.
I saw an arrow grazing Xie Weining's hair and passing and nailing it to a tree in the distance. Lan Jing'an didn't hear the second arrow, proving that there was only one crossbowman, and he should be busy loading the second arrow at this time. Lan Jing'an knew that in this kind of situation of being hunted down, the crossbowman was more than ten times more powerful than the swordsman.
Sensing that the archer should not be far from them, she mustered up her courage, turned around, raised her eyes to the crossbowman, pointed it at his head, and shot her only sleeve arrow. The crossbowman was shot squarely into the door, howled, and fell to the ground.
The other sword-wielding swordsmen rushed forward even more desperately when they saw that the crossbowmen on their side were shot to death by Lan Jing'an. Xie Weining saw that there were only four people in front of him, so not only did he not flee, but he bullied forward, holding a long sword in his right hand, stabbing left and right, and slashing fiercely.
After some efforts, although Xie Weining killed four people, his right wrist was cut at the last moment, he couldn't bear the pain, only heard the sound of "bell", and his long sword slipped from his injured right hand.
He saw that there were chasing soldiers behind him, and he didn't care about picking up the sword, so it was important to escape, so he turned around and pulled Lan Jing'an and continued to jump forward lifelessly. The two of them picked up the difficult place where the tree was dense and the road was steep, and ran for a while, but there was finally no movement behind them.
But neither of them dared to let their guard down, and both knew that if they stopped now, the pursuers could catch up at any time. Lan Jing'an and Xie Weining supported each other, trying to hide in the depths of the dense forest.
Who would have thought that when the two of them walked to a steep cliff, Lan Jing'an suddenly slipped and rolled down the steep slope in the forest. Xie Weining's left hand was firmly holding her right hand, and she was taken by her, and she also fell down. The two rolled all the way down the steep slope, and finally fell to the bottom of a valley, and both passed out.
At this time, Yin Quan, who was fighting desperately near the fork, listened to Xie Weining's words, took advantage of the unpreparedness, took the lead in breaking through and running all the way to Bonan City. Seeing that Xie Weining and Lan Jing'an had disappeared, Bi Luan, Lao Du and the others also turned around and fled in the other direction.
Now, the dozen or so that Lan Jing'an brought from Jizhou are unprecedentedly united. No matter who they are, they all resist together, hoping that they can get out smoothly, and then quickly find Lan Jing'an and the others.
Fortunately, it quickly got dark, and the hunt became extremely difficult. I saw Xie Chengxian, who was walking in the front, yelling at the people below with a gloomy face: "Find this king!" Even if you turn over Bonan Mountain, you have to find out Xie Weining for this king! ”
However, the terrain of Bonan Mountain is complex, once you deviate from the main road, there is no local guide to guide you, and others will not be able to identify the direction at all, let alone search the mountain in the dark at night. So even though his subordinates tried their best, they still failed to fulfill Xie Chengxian's wishes. And not only Xie Weining and Lan Jing'an were not found, but even Biluan and the others escaped without a trace.
At this time, Yin Quan, who was fleeing for his life in the direction of Bonan City, saw Feng Shen on the road. Although both of them were a little surprised to see each other, they both knew that Lan Jing'an and Xie Weining were waiting for someone to come to the rescue at this time. So the two of them also joined hands and went to Bonan City to move the rescuers.
When Feng Shen arrived in Bonan City, Jiang Yutang, under the escort of the shadow guards, pretended to be a caravan, and had just arrived. At this point, Feng Shen didn't care about hiding it from Yin Quan, and directly asked Yin Quan for the talisman of the Xia Kingdom, and asked ten shadow guards to guard Jiang Yutang, and hurried back to Jizhou with the holy grass to detoxify Xiao Qingyun.
When Jiang Yutang came over, he only heard that Xiao Qingyun had been poisoned, and Lan Jing'an personally came to pick the holy grass. I haven't figured out what's going on, and now I'm completely confused by Feng Shen's words. However, he also knew that the situation was urgent, and now was not the time to inquire carefully, so he nodded, and under the escort of the ten shadow guards, he set off again with the holy grass in the copper kettle.
Feng Shen wanted to take the other shadow guards and immediately set off to rescue Lan Jing'an, but Yin Quan pressed him down. He said that this time it was the conspiracy of Xie Chengxian, the prince of the Xia Kingdom, and now it was not only Xie Chengxian's troops who were chasing them, but also the people who mourned the king Liu Maung.
The reason why Feng Shen and the others didn't see too many enemies just now was because only some of Xie Chengxian's people were chasing them at that time. Liu Maung's people were busy dealing with the team of people who had followed Xie Weining to negotiate at the beginning. Thinking that after coming for so long, Liu Maung must have also freed his hand and came over to help Xie Chengxian.
Therefore, with these ninety shadow guards, they will definitely not be able to save Xie Weining and the others, and it is estimated that it will not be helpful to fill in all their lives. Now, only by mobilizing the army in Nongdong can we completely sweep away Xie Chengxian and Liu Maung's people, and really let Xie Weining and the others get out of danger safely.
But Yin Quan didn't let Feng Shen be idle, he asked the guide who had led the way for Lan Jing'an and the others to find some local clothes, and then find a few locals who were familiar with this terrain. Then let the Qianjun Yingwei all dress up as locals who went into the mountains to hunt, and follow the guide into the mountains to find people, and be sure to find Xie Weining and Lan Jing'an in front of Xie Chengxian's people.
Yin Quan also warned Feng Shen that once he found someone, he must pretend that the locals were dormant and not exposed. The road from here to Langdong is estimated to have been blocked by Liu Maung, and without waiting for the army to come, they will definitely not be able to get out with less than a hundred or so people.
Feng Shen knew that Da Si Ming and Xie Weining had a love Gu on him, and in this emergency situation, he naturally chose to believe that Yin Quan, who was the most loyal to Xie Weining. He even planned to give Yin Quan ten shadow guards and escort him back to Langdong to move the rescuers. Yin Quan didn't refuse his kindness, but he only needed five people, after all, one more person followed Xie Weining and the two, and the two of them had more hope of getting out of danger.
As for the old man who led Lan Jing'an at the beginning, although he was half scared to death at this time, he also deeply blamed himself, if he hadn't heard the movement at that time and insisted on running to check what was happening, Lan Jing'an's ten or so people would not be in danger now. As a guide, he lost the guest, and he naturally felt sorry for it.
In addition, Yin Quan not only promised a lot of money, but also tempted him with his official position, how could he not be tempted, so he obediently did what Yin Quan said. Yin Quan made proper arrangements here, entrusted everything to Feng Shen, and then took the five shadow guards of the cadre army and galloped towards Langdong overnight.
At this time, Bi Luan and Lao Du, who escaped by taking advantage of the night, were discussing whether they should continue to look for Lan Jing'an and Xie Weining in the forest, or should they also go back to Bonan City first to meet the other horses and horses before coming over together. As soon as Lao Du saw the eldest prince today, he realized that the master must have fallen into the trap of the eldest prince.
Since the eldest prince dares to calculate the master, he must have made all the preparations, and it is almost impossible for them to break through with the master from the heavy encirclement. And they don't even have a guide, so they may not be able to get out of this deep mountain, let alone find someone.
Although Bi Luan was also anxious, she also knew that it was the law to go back and join Feng Shen now, and bring the shadow guard and guide over to find talents. Fortunately, they are still dressed as medicine pickers, and apart from the fact that Bi Luan and the others showed their faces in the fight just now, no one knows their identities.
After several efforts, Bi Luan and the others finally found the main road to Bonan City, and under the cover of night, they quietly touched back to Bonan City.
