When the sun came out, Ding Qin had already run out of Kaiyuan City for several miles. On the one hand, he needs to catch up with Xiao Rou as soon as possible, and on the other hand, he also needs to leave Yuancheng as soon as possible.

Zhao Shi found out that he had escaped from prison, abolished his son again, and showed his adultery, how could he spare himself. Wang Meiru will inevitably tell Zhao Shi about telling her that Xiaorou is dangerous, so Zhao Shi will easily judge her whereabouts.

Among the troops defending the city, although there are no masters in the true sense, there are still many officers at the third and fourth levels of spiritual power. He only needs to find a few, and he may easily catch up with him, and even die.

It is precisely because of this that Ding Qin did not take the regular route. He was walking in the desert some distance from the main road in the city, and from this vantage point he could see the situation on the main road, and people walking on the main road would not notice the pedestrians here.

It's just that such a route greatly increases his physical exertion. Under the guidance of the bone soul, his spiritual power runs simultaneously in the twelve meridians and the two meridians of Rendu, all of which are used to assist in rapid action.

And this process also has the advantage that it can have a certain cultivation effect. Under the large and rapid consumption of spiritual power, it will have a stronger stimulating effect on the human body, stimulating the human body to demand and accommodate more spiritual power.

At noon, a post station was in sight in the distance. After Ding Qin made sure that the pursuers behind him did not catch up, he quickly approached the post station.

The official post houses were built relatively simply, with only accommodation and places for horse breeding. However, since this was an important resource supply area, some merchants moved here to develop, so the post station was the center, and the radius of about a mile was filled with various shops and inns.

After Ding Qin arrived at the post station area, he slowed down and carefully observed his surroundings. After making sure that there was no danger, he walked to a private inn at the entrance, where he was going to ask for news of Xiao Rou.

Because the inns here are all specially recruited customers outside. If Xiao Rou takes this path, she will definitely be noticed by the guys here.

Sure enough, as soon as I approached, a guy greeted me, "Little brother, you've been in the dust, you've been on a long journey, right?" Our store has a good room, a good bed, and a good night's sleep, and the fatigue is absolutely gone!"

Ding Qin shook his head, "I'm here to find someone." Have you ever seen this girl?"

He took out a portrait of Xiao Rou and unfolded it in front of the guy.

When the guy saw this portrait, he was stunned for a moment, and then said, "Well, why are you looking for her again?" She looks like she passed here yesterday, right?"

Ding Qin's heart tightened, and he immediately asked, "You said that you were looking for her again, did someone already ask?"

The guy nodded, "Yes." This morning, three people passed by, and they also took the portrait of this man. They don't have the same good attitude as you do, and they scare me. ”

Ding Qin frowned. It seems that the information provided by Wang Meiru is true.

He took out a few Xuantian coins from his arms, "Help me load ten steamed buns, and I'll give you the rest." ”

The guy took the money, and at first his face was a little embarrassed, but then he blossomed happily and went to the fart. After a while, he returned, holding a bag of steamed buns in his left hand, and a wooden box and a kettle in his right hand, "Little brother, there are some pickles in this wooden box, and you can take them with you." It's not easy to get on the road. ”

Ding Qin took it with a smile. He knew that this was not because the guy was good, but because he gave him a lot of money, and the guy was a little uneasy.

After carrying the water, Ding Qin asked again, "What are the characteristics of the three people who asked you?"

"Features?" the guy thought for a moment, "Well, two look thinner and one slightly chubby. Nothing special. By the way, all three of them were carrying long knives. ”

Ding Qin nodded, thanked the man again, and passed through the post station area along the official road, and when he was sure that no one was paying attention, he quickly moved away from the official road, entered the desert, and accelerated forward.

The stay just now made him recover a lot of physical strength. While hurrying, Ding Qin gnawed on steamed buns, and after a while, the two steamed buns were already in his stomach.

After running out for more than ten miles in a row, Ding Qin suddenly felt that there was something abnormal in his body.

The meridians of the whole body began to have a slight feeling of soreness, especially in the dantian, as if the five-flavor bottle had been overturned, and the feeling was indescribable.

The bands of spiritual power and stars behind him began to flicker and flicker, and they seemed to have entered an extremely unstable state.

Ding Qin was happy and worried in his heart. Happily, the appearance of this feeling means that he is about to break through the current cultivation level and enter the first and second layers of spiritual power.

The worry is that, generally speaking, in order to break through and advance, cultivation should be carried out in a very quiet environment and state to avoid mistakes. But now the situation is urgent, and he does not have time to stop and break through.

The Bone Soul seemed to understand his concern, and took the initiative to say, "Don't worry. Normally, the 12 meridians are used to break through, and certain environmental conditions are indeed required. However, you can break through using only the Rendu Second Pulse. Temporarily close the twelve meridians autonomously, and only leave the second meridian to run the spiritual power, so there are not so many requirements. ”

Some doubts surfaced in Ding Qin's heart, "The method of running the second pulse of this governor seems to be completely different from the ones I originally knew. ”

"Indeed, it is indeed different. It's just that I can only remember this method now, but I have forgotten the source and name of the method. But don't worry, I won't cheat you. ”

"Okay, I'll try. Ding Qin retracted his legs, clenched his fists, and urged spiritual power to flow out of the twelve meridians, and then controlled the twelve meridians and temporarily closed them. After that, he poured spiritual power into the second vein of Ren Du and strode out again.

Due to the fact that the spiritual power in the two veins of Rendu is slightly different from that of the twelve meridians, when only using these two veins, Ding Qin is somewhat uncomfortable. However, after about an hour, his speed was almost back to his previous level.

And at this moment, the blurred spiritual power light band behind him suddenly and completely released.

Above the yellow band, two gold stars shine.

Breakthrough, it was so easy to break through!

Ding Qin was overjoyed. There were no adverse reactions, and there was no discomfort beyond my body's ability to bear.

After entering a new realm, his body functions were further opened, and the closed twelve meridians were automatically opened at this time. The spiritual power in the environment began to be absorbed by his body, and then slowly sank into the dantian.

When the spiritual power was running at full charge again, Ding Qin clearly felt that his speed had increased to a new height!

While running, Ding Qin was also adapting to his body. In the evening, the second post station was not far ahead.

However, he was not in a hurry to approach the station. Because he had previously discovered that from the direction of the first station, three red fireworks were rising.

Among the defending troops, this is a signal that the situation is urgent and that a flying pigeon will be sent to the next station.

When there is no war, this kind of advance warning signal has only one purpose, to arrest fugitives.

Ding Qin didn't have to think about it to know that it must be the people sent by Zhao Shi to chase him and reach the first post station.

Taking advantage of the dim light at dusk, Ding Qin approached the second post station very carefully. Sure enough, at the entrance of the post station, additional guards had been set up, and their avatars had been posted on the walls.

Without making any superfluous movements, Ding Qin slowly left and retreated to a safe position.

It seems that the post station can no longer be entered. He sat on the sand, nibbled on a few more steamed buns, drank some water, tidied up his bags, took another step, and ran in the direction of Tongbao City.

In order to save herself, Xiaorou will not leave much time to rest. And the person who chased and killed Xiaorou was even more unlikely to rest for a long time.

Under the moonlight, Ding Qin's spiritual power was completely released, and from a distance, the light strip and Venus behind him seemed to merge with the stars in the night sky.

In this way, day and night, Ding Qin chased for three days. During the three days, he only went to the post station business district once again after disguise to replenish the necessary drinking water. After all, it should be very close to Tongbao City now.

Ding Qin jumped onto a dead tree, ready to observe the situation ahead. It didn't matter what he looked at, and his heart chuckled.

On the official road in the direction of progress, there were a few vague figures. Three of them are very similar to the three people described by the guy, two thin and one fat.

And, in the process of Ding Qin's observation, a light was clearly refracted.

This should be the reflection of the weapon in the sun!

Ding Qin's heart was even more nervous, he jumped down from the tree, and approached there as fast as he could.

Because he was separated by a large sand dune, after running for a while, Ding Qin's vision was blocked. He couldn't be sure whether those three people were the ones who came to hunt down Xiao Rou, but judging by the time and place, there was more than one luck.

Not long after, Ding Qin climbed the sand dunes. The figures of those people can be seen quite clearly. Four people, three men and one woman.

The woman is Xiao Rou!

However, Xiao Rou's current situation does not seem to be as bad as she imagined. The three of them did not start immediately, but one in front of the other, sandwiched Xiao Rou in the middle, and headed in the direction of Tongbao City.

Soon, Ding Qin knew why. For in the distance, there is a post station. The station was so well visible that if the three of them were to attack it, it would most likely leave eyewitnesses.

And in order to prevent Xiao Rou from slipping away, they led the way like this, and after the two were broken, they formed not a protective formation, but a typical escort formation.

Ding Qin was anxious. With his own strength alone, although he has broken through the first and second layers of spiritual power, the strength of the other three is unknown, and there is no chance of winning the shot.

Moreover, close to the post station, even if he saves Xiao Rou, he will inevitably attract the attention of the post station. This is also a post station managed by Kaiyuan City, and the defenders in the station must have received the news that they were arrested.

The Bone Soul didn't have a good idea for a while. When he was hesitating, Ding Qin suddenly found that there was wind and sand in the distance.

This is not natural wind and sand. Apparently, a centaur is approaching this side. And the direction of this team is exactly where Xiao Rou is.

Could it be a desert horse thief? Generally speaking, there are only horse thieves who do not follow the official road.

They come and go, killing people and robbing money, just in the blink of an eye. And the major generals in the post station are low, there is no way to take them, and there is no time to rescue.

Ding Qin muttered, "It's broken." Xiao Rou wouldn't be so lucky, would she?"
