"Teacher Qin, how long do we have to chase before we can catch up? They came out an hour before us. Ye Zi asked Qin Mu, who was running at the front of the line.

"No problem, it's close. Qin Mu showed a smile, he straightened the strap of the rifle, and continued to move forward, "I'm here, don't worry." ”

The group walked along the trail until they reached a fork in the road. Near here are all places where hunters from the Black Mountain region often come to hunt, and there are many man-made traces, and it is not easy to trace specific traces. However, Qin Mu brushed aside the dense blades of grass under his feet, inspected for a moment and said, "Left." ”

Ye Zi said to the dozen or so people behind him: "Go left, chase." ”

These were her guards, some armed with spears and machetes, others with crossbows and arrows, and wearing training uniforms or improvised leather armor. Among them, there is also a girl who is about the same age as Ye Zi but carries a rifle like Qin Mu, her name is Cao Lu, she is not only Ye Zi's roommate, but also her team member.

Cao Lu, as a woman, can join the escort team, so she naturally has her ability. She was a shooter on the school's shooting team, so after joining the escort team, she became one of the few students who could carry a gun.

"Teacher Qin is worthy of being a geological twin, this hunter's dress is really handsome. Cao Lu whispered to Ye Zi.

"What twins, nickname?" Ye Zi was puzzled.

Qin Mu and Zhang Sicheng of the geological group, one is sunny and the other is melancholy, and they are both rare handsome guys, and there are many people who are fascinated by them. ”

Zhang Sicheng ...... Hey, he's also a guy who loves to drill the horns. Ye Zi frowned, looking a little regretful.

"Who's to say it isn't, but if it weren't, there would be no 'Prince of Melancholy'. But I still like Mr. Qin's type. ”

"It seems that you are not lightly obsessed, huh?"

"Alas, the falling flowers are intentional, the flowing water is ruthless, I heard that Mr. Qin is interested in someone. She leaned into Ye Zi's ear and said, "It's Luo Ling, the head of the foreign affairs team." Alas, Team Leader Luo has too much halo on him, what a young college student, Dr. MIT, the youngest associate professor in the school, is still in the Department of Mathematics, and now he is the team leader. In addition to being young and beautiful, we can't compare with her. ”

"Luo Ling?" Ye Zi raised his eyebrows, but he had heard Xiao Chen's guy talk about it many times, "Why did you inquire so carefully?"

"Know yourself and know your opponent. ”

At this time, Qin Mu, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped and raised his hand to stop the team's advance.

"Found it!" Qin Mu said in a very soft voice, Ye Zi followed his finger and saw that there were four student-like people sitting around resting under the gentle slope in front of him, which was the target they were tracking.

"Teacher Qin, you are here to help us suppress the formation. The arrest is still left to our escort team. Ye Zi instructed.

Qin Mu nodded, took off the rifle, held it in his hand and said, "I'll let the wind go and guard against those goblins and horse thieves." ”

Ye Zi gestured to the people behind her, and a squad behind her walked around from the forest behind these people and surrounded them from all sides.

After confirming that everyone was in place, Ye Zi broke through the bushes in front of him and Cao Lu and walked over.

The four men were eating and laughing in a low voice. When he heard the footsteps behind him, he stood up in fright.

"It's Ye Zi! It's the people of the escort!" one of the tall boys shouted, pulled up a small girl next to him and was about to run away, and a short boy sitting opposite him hurriedly grabbed the bag on the ground and carried it on his back. The other girl on the side, frightened, grabbed the arm of the short boy tightly, and the boy was pulled by her and couldn't carry the bag, so he pushed her down in a hurry, and rushed into the forest with the bag.

"You don't have to go through any trouble. I brought a whole class, and you guys were surrounded. Ye Zi shouted. Sure enough, those people ran into the forest a few steps, and were grabbed by the people who had set up an ambush in advance and escorted out.

Niu Guangcheng, a member of the guard, Li Qiuxin of the logistics group, Wu Qi of the textile factory, and Jiang Jie of the business group. Ye Zi confirmed their identities one by one, and then said, "Your runaway from home ends here, go back with me obediently." ”

The four of them looked at each other with ugly faces, and the tall boy Niu Guangcheng shouted: "I won't go back, you want me to be cannon fodder, no way! Let me go." ”

"It doesn't matter if you say you can't go, since I chased you, don't try to escape. Ye Zi said with a straight face.

"Why are you so brainless. What's the difference between catching us and letting us go?" shouted the short boy Li Qiuxin as he struggled, "Thousands of horse thieves are coming. How can these people in the school fight hard? Let's run away while they don't attack the city! I see that you are all capable people, so just run with us, I heard that running in this direction is the royal capital of this country. With our knowledge and craftsmanship, we can definitely live a decent life. ”

Li Qiuxin found that no one else spoke, and it seemed that some people were considering the possibility of escaping, so he said with a hot iron: "What have we eaten here? What's the benefit? I'm driven to work like a dog every day. And the money that went from the sale of so many goods went into the pockets of the committee. The old man of the committee eats and drinks spicy food every day, and he doesn't have to work, and now he wants us to die? Who likes to go, I won't go anyway. I advise you, think about it carefully, don't die when you don't know why!"

Ye Zi found that several of the guards who came with him looked at each other, and even a few of them began to talk to each other. She said angrily, "Take the person away, and if you talk nonsense, you will gag him." ”

"Run with me, believe me!" Li Qiuxin broke away from the guard's loose hand, opened his backpack, and grabbed a handful of gold coins, "Look, I have a lot of gold coins here, everyone can spend them, buy a house if you want to buy a house, and find a woman if you want to find a woman." Seeing Li Qiuxin's heart-digging appearance, he looked very sincere.

"Grab him and gag him. Ye Zi said it a second time, but the two guards around him didn't stop him.

"If you don't have a false heart, why do you gag your mouth and don't let me speak?" Li Qiuxin sneered.

Ye Zi was about to rush forward to do it herself, but was stopped by Cao Lu, she pointed to the girl who had been pushed down before, and was now kneeling on the ground covering her face and crying, and said coldly: "Hmph, your girlfriend believes in you, but she was left behind by you in a blink of an eye." This is what happens to you. ”

Her voice was sharp and sharp, and it immediately suppressed the boy's voice, while the girl sitting on the ground sobbed aggrievedly.

Ye Zi took advantage of the situation at this time and said: "These people betrayed everyone at the most critical time, and also stole our gold coins and food. Now he has betrayed his companion again. Think for yourselves, can you believe his words? With them, they can pass through the blockade of the horse thieves and avoid the dangers of the forest? Maybe they will be chopped by the horse thieves when they get out of the woods. ”

Several of the guards looked at each other, and two of them rushed forward with some shame and grabbed Li Qiuxin's arm.

"Escort away!" Ye Zi was relieved to see that all the people were under control, most of the day's pursuit and escape operation was finally successful, she turned around and led the team to return the same way, to meet Qin Mu.

But after a few steps, the sound of pushing and fighting was heard at the end of the team. She looked back and found that the two team members holding Niu Guangcheng were pushed to the ground, and the other was blocked in front of her by Niu Guangcheng as a hostage, and Niu Guangcheng was holding a 54-style pistol in his hand, aimed at the man's temple.

Ye Zi suddenly felt as if a basin of cold water had poured her from her head.

"Don't move!" Niu Guangcheng shouted.

The sunlight shone through the gaps in the leaves on his face, and it actually showed a hideous color, making him look like a beast with teeth bared. He dragged the team member back slowly, distancing himself from the others, and shouted urgently: "You put all your weapons on the ground, otherwise don't blame me for being unkind." ”

Ye Zi pushed aside the crowd, tried to calm down, slowly walked in front of him, and persuaded: "There is a rifle, three crossbows, and a big gun in my hand here, do you know what you are doing?"

"I don't want to listen to nonsense, put the weapon on the ground and let go of my people. Niu Guangcheng shouted to himself, not giving Ye Zi a chance to persuade at all.

"You'd better calm down and think about it, if you hurt our people, you won't survive. ”

Niu Guangcheng gasped and said in a high voice, "Die, which of you want to give me a back, who wants to try the gun first? Damn, Lao Tzu is fed up with this place, and I won't play with you." Again, hand over all the weapons. ”

At this time, Cao Lu, who was behind Ye Zi, took advantage of the confrontation between Ye Zi and Niu Guangcheng, slowly raised his gun, ready to aim at the opponent's arm, and waited for an opportunity to break the siege. When Niu Guangcheng was in trouble before, she reacted half a beat slowly, and she was very annoyed, so she had the idea of finding the field at this time.

But before she could aim, Niu Guangcheng's gun went off, and a shot hit Cao Lu's arm, she screamed, and the gun fell to the ground.

"Cao Lu!" Ye Zi anxiously wanted to go over to see her wounds. Niu Guangcheng fired another shot, and the bullet grazed Ye Zi's calf, marking a bloody mark.

"Don't move. Niu Guangcheng shouted.

After firing two shots, he quickly put the gun against the hostage's head, and sneered: "It's not just that you have participated in the shooting team, I practiced rapid fire pistols for six years before college. Don't challenge my patience, or I'll give you a good taste of my marksmanship. Next time, it's not the arms and legs, it's the head!"

He gave Li Qiuxin a look, and the short boy hurriedly snatched Cao Lu's rifle in his hand, and then forced several guards to throw crossbow arrows and spears on the ground. Ye Zi wanted to kill this bastard with one punch, but he could only obediently throw away the spear in his hand. Li Qiuxin also wanted to beckon the two girls who fled together to follow. But the two women were so frightened by their performance that they hid behind the guards and did not dare to go over.

Niu Guangcheng saw that Li Qiuxin and the girl were pulling and pulling and arguing, and said impatiently: "Don't waste time with them! Two things that don't know what to do, let's go by ourselves! If you have money, you're afraid you won't find a woman?"

The two of them slowly retreated to the edge of the clearing, Niu Guangcheng kicked over the hostages in front of him, and Li Qiuxin turned around and ran into the forest.

Ye Zi knew that she had no choice but to deal with these two people.

However, at this moment, a gunshot was heard. Niu Guangcheng, who was running, was hit in the thigh by a bullet and fell to the ground, he instinctively fired back with a pistol at where everyone was, and the bullets flew and frightened everyone to flee in embarrassment. Li Qiuxin also leaned against the tree, raised his rifle and prepared to shoot. At this time, the sound of the rifle rang out again, one shot hit Niu Guangcheng in the chest, and the other shot hit Li Qiuxin in the head, and both of them fell to the ground.

Everyone present was stunned, even the two girls who were sobbing were so frightened that they stopped crying. Everyone just watched the "enemy" being knocked down in public, lying motionless in the grass, and for a while they didn't know what to do.

"Teacher Qin......" Ye Zi looked at Qin Mu who ran out of the bushes behind him, his voice was very bitter.

"The hygienist quickly bandaged Cao Lu and Ye Zi. Qin Mu held the gun and cautiously ran towards Niu Guangcheng and them.

"Dead. Qin Mu's hand left Niu Guangcheng's neck and said with a long breath.

"Teacher Qin...... Do you really have to kill them?" Ye Zi said sadly, "They are our classmates after all." If you let them go, they won't shoot back......"

"The school is ...... now There is no place for traitors. Qin Mu patted her on the shoulder and said, "When Niu Guangcheng shot at you for the first time, this was the ending he deserved. ”

"I ...... I don't know. Maybe one day in retrospect, I'll regret chasing them. Ye Zi said with red eyes.

Qin Mu gently stroked his gun for a while, then lifted it heavily and carried it on his shoulder, revealing a somewhat reluctant smile, and said, "I don't regret it." ”
