Chapter 15: Run
"Opposite" refers to the territory of the former prime minister Ados, because Ados's territory is on the other side of the sulphur lake. The tax collection team on the opposite side came, and when they saw that they had pulled people and brought so much sulfur ore, they would definitely intercept it. I don't know if I can beat it or not, but if I hurt myself, it will be a big loss.
Lu Jingzhi beckoned an undead infantryman and whispered a few words to him in ghost words. The infantry shook his head categorically in opposition at first, but Lu Jingzhi kept explaining, and finally nodded and agreed with Lu Jingzhi's statement.
"Now I order, throw everything away, and then run towards our castle!" Lu Jingzhi doesn't care if these things are thrown here or not, the first thing he wants to keep is his team, if when he goes back, the team is disabled, and even he is left alone, I believe he won't have long left. The second is the artisans he brought. If these craftsmen are robbed, it will have a greater effect than throwing away these tax dollars. After all, everyone is now on the same starting line, and the two craftsmen trained by themselves, one can increase the mining speed of humans, the other can increase the transportation speed, and one plus is several times, which is a skill that everyone must obtain. If you run away now, you might have a chance to escape back to the castle. When you get to the castle, you're safe. At least the undead knights of their own family recognize themselves.
Only then did the two undead infantry reluctantly overturn the two truckloads of sulfur with baskets on the side of the road, but their zombie auxiliaries were not smart and had no reluctance.
"Silly big stupid two, quickly carry the young master and run forward. Lu Jingzhi patted the sliding rod. Talking to these two people, you have to say everything, if you only let them run forward, maybe they can throw the young master on the ground and run forward, because this way they can run faster. So, the stupid two ran in front with a sliding rod, the carpenter followed Lu Jingzhi closely, expecting that he would not run anymore and would continue to chat with the tax collector; the charcoal smith's family ran behind, and the woman and the child were able to keep up at first, but then they were obviously a little exhausted; the undead infantry with the zombie auxiliaries looked back at the sulfur that they had thrown away like sand step by step, and slowly followed.
Run, Run!!Lu Jingzhi thought in his heart, if he couldn't escape, he would have to surrender to Lord Ados, and then he didn't know if the lord Duke Wensha would let go of the little sugar candy that was already worthless.
Lu Jingzhi remembered seeing such a sentence in a book: When things are likely to get worse, then they will definitely get worse. He really didn't want things to go bad, but that's when it came true. The stupid two ran out of the speed of the sprint, and the sliding rod, which should have been quite strong, broke with a snap.
The two Silly brothers continued to run forward, each carrying two poles, but since the poles had been broken into two, the owner of the poles would inevitably fall to the ground. When I heard the owner shouting behind me, I reacted and stopped my steps, and when I looked back, the master was already lying more than fifty meters away.
"Silly big fool two, why are you two running so fast?!! You can't stop screaming!" Lu Jingzhi snorted and was helped up by the carpenter.
When the carpenter's hand touched the tax collector, he shook a little, and he felt that the status of the tax collector should not be supported by him, but by an entourage. "My lord, I'm sorry, it's not that the little one dares to help you, it's just that you fell too hard, I'm afraid you won't be able to get up all of a sudden. The carpenter apologized and looked at Lu Jingzhi with concern.
Where is there anyone who has to apologize for helping others! Aren't you a wicked young man who bullies men and women, and can he be so groveling with himself?
Lu Jingzhi slapped the dust he had picked up on the ground, and thanked him: "Thank you, Uncle Carpenter." These two fools almost threw me to death, and I'll be sure to punish them when I get back. ”
The carpenter shuddered when he heard this, he had seen too many ways for the Earth Ghost Clan to punish humans, and it was already the greatest mercy to be able to kill them quickly. I have the heart to ask for two words of mercy for them, thinking that I can't protect myself, but what can I do to save others? But these two big men are just a little stupid, and they are not bad. Although he tied himself up when he was captured from the village last time, he did it at the behest of the ghost, and he did not embarrass his family and children, which made the carpenter quite sympathetic. What's more, these two stupid big men are the long-term followers of the tax collector, and they follow wherever they go, how can they be killed and killed?
"My lord, they were just careless, not deliberately disrespectful to you. The carpenter still couldn't bear it, and still pinched his sweat and pleaded for the two big men who were still grinning silly.
"Well, yes. Lu Jingzhi nodded indignantly and said, "They were so careless that they almost fell the young master to death." They must be punished well. ”
"My lord, it's not easy for them to grow so strong. You're looking for two more people who are so strong, but I'm afraid it's not going to be easy to find. The carpenter advised, since he had opened his mouth, let's get to the end. The tax collector is angry, and it is not good to say that he spared them directly, but can only highlight the value of these two stupid brothers.
"Well, that's good. It's pretty rare. Lu Jingzhi looked up at Silly Da Silly Er, smiled proudly, and said, "This is the treasure that I found from Tianshang Village, young master." ”
"yes, yes, these are two living treasures. The carpenter smiled when he saw the tax collector, and said with a smile, "Look, my lord, let's keep them and continue to run errands for you." ”
Lu Jingzhi suddenly heard something in the carpenter's words, and asked, "Uncle carpenter, what do you mean by this? Do you also like these two stupid big men and want to take them for yourself?"
The carpenter had a black line on his head, and hurriedly cleared it: "No, no." It's just a pity that they died. The small ones are too much to talk about, and the small ones are too much to talk about. ”
"Dead?" Lu Jingzhi walked over, and according to the buttocks of the stupid two, one person came and kicked him. Silly Dasha Er is still smiling, and he doesn't feel pain at all.
"Uncle Carpenter, I don't think they're going to die so soon. Lu Jingzhi circled around the two brothers and said, "Silly big fool two, in order to punish the two of you, the young master decided that after you go back, you two are not allowed to eat when you are hungry." And I won't give meat for three days!" After that, he ignored the aggrieved stupid brothers, turned around and walked back, muttering as he walked: "You won't die if you are hungry!"
The master carpenter was stunned, this is the punishment that the tax collector said! If this can be regarded as a punishment, then what is the usual starvation of the people in his own village?
Lu Jingzhi ignored the master carpenter's stunned expression, because he saw something that paid more attention to him: smoke and dust. A messy cloud of dust rose far away, just behind the road. Lu Jingzhi raised his thumb in front of his eyes, quickly glanced at it alternately with his left and right eyes, and sighed in his heart.
"It's too close. He muttered, pointing his thumb to the intersection in front of him, and blinking his left and right eyes in turn, "It's too late......
Yes, this time the danger appeared too close, and this smoke and dust was definitely not the dust and sand blown by the wind, but the soldiers of the brigade made it while marching. It is said in the book of war that the dust of the cavalry is fierce and high, and the dust of the infantry is gentle and wide, so it seems that there should be no cavalry here. He had just measured with his thumb the distance of the reference object where the smoke and dust appeared, and it was only five or six kilometers away in a straight line, and it was about two kilometers from here to the intersection. That is, if both sides are traveling at the same speed, when they reach the intersection, the soldiers will be able to see them from a distance.
Definitely not. Looking at the smoke and dust, you can see that there are quite a few people in this army. The two undead infantry and four zombie auxiliaries under his own command are okay to scare the villagers, but it is definitely not enough to see the regular army of the brigade.
There are people and ghosts in my team, and the goal is too big to hide. Once discovered, it is also a dead end.
Fight for speed to see if you can run back to the castle, or at least try to meet the patrol of the Duke of Windsor? No, you can't take any chances. He can't die, and if he dies, Sugar Candy won't be able to survive in the castle of the ghost clan.
With a strategy? This should work. But just now, in order to flee lightly, he threw away all the sulfur and the car, and at this time he had no resources in his hands - except for the few people who followed.
Or surrender. With these craftsmen, he took the initiative to surrender. But will the ghosts surrender, and if they were so loyal to the Duke of Windsor, they would have been disemboweled, with a paw from behind, before they could run to the other side.
If only there was sulfur, throw the sulfur mine on the ground, maybe the soldiers can pick it up for a day and a half. There are also those two cars, if there is a car, the person who runs slowly can sit on the car and be pushed, which can increase the speed of travel. But the cart and the brimstone were all thrown away.
Lu Jing's heart was spinning, and he thought about all the methods, but none of them could be used. "Don't panic if you're not in a hurry, if you're panicked, you'll go crazy. It's a small waste of time, and the possibility of life is also on the line. Calm and calm and calm, all kinds of rules must be distinguished. Think about it carefully, think slowly, figure it out and act immediately. He recalled his father's advice on not panicking, tried to calm his breathing, and then measured the distance of the smoke with his fingers. So, he knew how fast the soldiers were moving.
"By the time they get to the intersection, there should be ten minutes left. If you think of a way in ten minutes, you should be saved. Lu Jingzhi thought in his heart.
"My lord?" Seeing Lu Jingzhi's strange behavior, the carpenter muttered something to himself, and felt a little bad in his heart. The carpenter's family also followed, and the carpenter's son did not have much physical strength, and when he saw that everyone was parked on the side of the road, he thought he was resting, and lay down on the ground.
"Do you want to abandon them?" Lu Jingzhi glanced at these people and thought to himself in his heart, "These are human beings, their own kind. Never give up until the last resort. "It is impossible to let Lu Jingzhi sacrifice himself for others. But let him sacrifice others for himself, and he can't do it happily either.
If you want to know what happens next, let's see the next breakdown.
