Chapter 13: Than Patience
Chapter 13: Than Patience
When the emperor was enjoying himself, he did not know that the crisis was already spreading: the matter of the border pass was only triggered but not triggered, even if the foreign iron cavalry would not set foot in the Celestial Empire at the moment, he would bring a large army to knock on the pass when the country was strong; Without the arrangements of Shen Miaoge, Prince Lian and others, the foreign iron cavalry would not let go of the Celestial Empire.
Shen Miaoge and Prince Lian's arrangement attracted foreign iron horses, which was actually equivalent to consuming their national strength: delaying their real attack for a long time.
The emperor is at fault, but the people are not at fault. Prince Lian, Shen Miaoge and others couldn't ignore the lives of the border soldiers, nor could they ignore the lives of the people of the Celestial Empire; Such an arrangement is only to give certain people in the DPRK and China a chance, so that they can have time and time.
There is no moon tonight, just like the day when Red Sleeves were surrounded.
On that day, when Yingshu led people to protect Red Sleeves and rushed to kill, it was seen that Red Sleeves was the leader, and most of the people rushed over to separate her from Prince Lian's subordinates; In the end, she and Yingshu were both seriously injured before rushing out and escaping all the way in the direction of Fengchuan County.
There were always pursuers behind them, and from time to time they would fight; Fortunately, their horses were fast, and there were not many people who could keep up, so the master and servant could still deal with it, but they never got rid of the pursuers.
The red sleeves were injured on the back, but Yingshu's injury was on the face, and in the repeated battles, only their master and servant were left in the end; But the pursuers still followed them all the way, so that they could not breathe.
After killing the three people who followed, Yingshu was so anxious: if she continued like this, where would the girl support her; She had a distinct feeling that she had reached her limits; If you are caught up again, I am afraid that it will be difficult to escape.
"Girl, you have to find a way to get rid of these people;" Ying Shu glanced behind her, there was no one; She had been wondering why those people had been able to catch up.
Redsleeves nodded, she didn't speak, because she really didn't have much strength; The fight just now made her use all the strength of her body; She had long been thinking about why she couldn't get rid of the chasing soldiers, she looked at the mountains in Fengchuan County in the distance: "Go ahead and talk about it." ”
The terrain in the mountains is a bit more complicated, and there are many trees, which should be an excellent cover for them. Red Sleeves and Yingshu rode into the mountains of Fengchuan County.
Soon after the horses entered the mountains, they had to be abandoned; Their master and servant were not caught up for two days in a row, and it seemed that it was not easy for those people in the mountains to find their master and servant.
But Red Sleeves knew very well in his heart that this did not mean that those could not be found; She thought that it might be the wounds on her and Yingshu's bodies that led those people to the way: not only the blood dripping, but also the bloody qi.
The repeated battles made their masters and servants add injuries to them, and new injuries were added before the old injuries were healed, and their whole bodies were covered with blood; As long as there is a fight, those wounds that have just formed scars will crack open, and the blood loss will make the red-sleeved master and servant weaker and weaker.
Redsleeves and Yingshu hastily cleaned up the wounds so that they would not have any more blood oozing and dripping; Then Red Sleeves thought about it again and again, but he was still not at ease, so he and Yingshu quietly sneaked into the mountain village at night, stole two clothes, and found a place to hide, and the two of them endured the piercing pain and cold, and washed their whole bodies; In the end, I cleaned up the wound and used all the wound medicine I only carried on my body at one time.
They threw away all their clothes, buried their close-fitting clothes under the boulders at the water's edge, and discarded the rest of their clothes at the water's edge.
After the red-sleeved master and servant had finished cleaning up, they did not go far: they did not have the strength to go far, so they found a very hidden hole not far away, and slept there that night.
Neither Red Sleeves nor Yingshu dared to raise the fire to make cooked food, for fear of receiving the chasing soldiers, so they could only gnaw on cold steamed buns; Even so, the red-sleeved master and servant thought it was already rare: having time to eat and drink peacefully was something that I didn't dare to think about these days.
That night, Yingshu asked Red Sleeves to sleep first, and she came to look at the wind; Red Sleeves couldn't beat her, and said that he would come back to her after a while: if there was no accident, their master and servant would have a day to rest here; During the day, it was too dangerous for them.
Those pursuers will not give up searching in the mountains.
It's just that the red-sleeved master and servant have been hunted down and killed for a long time, and they haven't closed their eyes at all; Whether it was the red sleeves lying down or the sitting Yingshu, they all fell asleep. They slept soundly, and they didn't hear the insects outside, or the birds in the morning.
It wasn't until it was completely dark again and the insect chirped again, that Red Sleeves and Ying Shu woke up almost at the same time; They felt hungry, but they weren't woken up hungry.
It's because of the repeated fights that the red-sleeved master and servant have an almost instinctive awakening: someone is coming, and it's not alone.
Neither Red Sleeves nor Yingshu spoke, nor did they move, but just listened attentively; There were a lot of people coming, and it seemed to be right on the water's edge.
Yingshu was at the edge of the cave, and she could see clearly between the gaps in the blades of grass: it was the people who were chasing them. counted them, there were more than 30 people who could be seen, and Yingshu's heart was cold to the bottom; If these people found out, she and the girl would not have been able to escape
After listening carefully for a long time, Redsleeves made sure that the men were at the water's edge, not too close to where they were hiding, and crawled to the small hole gently, little by little, without making the slightest sound, and saw the pursuers as well.
The men held torches aloft and gathered around the water's edge, not knowing what they were saying; And the red sleeves and Yingshu's coat were carried in their hands. Finally the people moved, and instead of searching the vicinity, they chased them deep into the mountains.
The traces left by the water's edge Red Sleeves and Yingshu indicate that they have been gone for two nights and one day; How could those people have thought that Red Sleeves and Yingshu were now close to Zuo and did not go far
Red Sleeves and Ying Shu didn't dare to come out, until those people walked for half an hour, Red Sleeves and Ying Shu were still holding their breath and motionless.
In the forest, a few black shadows flashed, gathered together to look left and right, shook their heads slightly, and then flashed away: these people stayed, just to wait for the red-sleeved master and servant to appear Those people are gone, if the red-sleeved master and servant are nearby, they will definitely want to leave here in a hurry.
Red Sleeves and Ying Shu still didn't move, their hands and feet were numb, and it was as if there were thousands of small needles in their bodies gently pricking: it wasn't very painful or itchy, but the numbness made people even more uncomfortable.
Whether it was Red Sleeves or Yingshu, no one moved, and endured it with great endurance: if you can't bear it, there is only a dead end; These emperors' secret guards, after repeated battles, Red Sleeves knew very well how cunning they were, and they didn't dare to be careless.
Half an hour passed, and there was only the sound of wind and insects in the dark woods, and the secret guards and the people who chased the red sleeves seemed to have all gone. But the red-sleeved master and servant were still motionless, and as the hours passed, Redsleeves and Yingshu opened their eyes wide, looking at the situation in the forest motionlessly, and still remained motionless.
When the first rays of the sun spilled into the forest, Red Sleeves and Yingshu still stared at the forest and did not move.
It wasn't until the sun rose extremely high that a few dark shadows flashed in the forest: this was the last group of secret guards, and they had fought with Red Sleeves many times, and naturally they were also very aware of the "cunning" of Red Sleeves' master and servant.
After a night and a morning of waiting, and now that it was nearly noon, they were sure that the Red-Sleeved Master and Servant would not be here: otherwise, after two retreats, the Red-Sleeved Master and Servant would have waited all night and found nothing, and would have taken the opportunity to change places as soon as it was dark.
There was nothing but birds and small beasts nearby, and of course the guards didn't want to defend it any longer.
In this battle of patience, the red-sleeved master and servant won; But they can't run away now, because their bodies are numb and can't move.
After moving for a long time, Redsleeves and Yingshu left the cave where they were hiding and fled in the opposite direction of the dark guards.
Red Sleeves and Ying Shu did not choose the deep mountains, because with the current situation of their master and servant, even if they got rid of the pursuers, they would not be able to deal with the large beasts in the mountains.
They did not dare to get too close to the foot of the mountain, for fear of being discovered; After more than ten days, their master and servant ran out of dry food. That night, the two of them could only catch hares and pick some wild fruits to satisfy their hunger.
Because both of them were so badly wounded, they could not feed their hunger with wild fruits; But the two of them could not raise the fire yet, so they could only eat it raw: the smell of blood and raw meat made both of them gause; But they all endured it, and no one swallowed it hard without speaking.
If they do not eat, they will not have strength; Without strength, how can you get out of this mountain?
Although the raw meat is extremely fishy, it is still very nourishing, and in two or three days, Red Sleeves and Yingshu have a little better face than when they only gnawed dry food.
Of course, Redsleeves and Yingshu knew that nothing was more important than taking care of their bodies now, so they began to hunt wild beasts intentionally: and they were able to peel off their fur and spread it on the ground for bedding, which was why they were getting better and better.
Although the fur is not treated, it is not only bloody, but also hard and not very comfortable.
Red Sleeves and Ying Shu didn't encounter the Secret Guards and Pursuers again, and their master and servant were now planning to leave the mountain as long as they were in better health.
Their master and servant are hiding in the mountains, not only the secret guards are anxious, but their own people will also be anxious: without her, I don't know what will happen to Shen Miaoge.
Red Sleeves and Yingshu had good luck this day, and when they changed to a new hiding place, they also caught a roe deer. After drinking the blood, the master and servant slept in the hides: they wanted to rest for the night.
But in the middle of the night, they were awakened; It wasn't a human being, but three wolves
