Chapter 11: Chase and Escape
The monkey wandered around the captain, and as soon as he touched the captain's package, the captain was already vigilant, shouting "Not good!" and reached out to grab the little monkey, but the little monkey "bang!", disappeared along with the package, and the captain immediately got up and shouted: "Chase!"
Obviously, the officers and errands in this squad are all well-trained, and in the blink of an eye, they have been reorganized, and they are chasing in the direction of Bai Xin!
The team marched quickly for a while, and the surrounding dense fog disappeared in an instant! The captain looked at the area of thick white fog behind him, and was even more convinced that the previous dense fog and the little monkey were premeditated.
The captain frowned, and he couldn't figure it out: "How could this secret operation be exposed? Could it be that there are spies in the team?"
He looked around at the other eleven people who were closely following him behind him, these eleven people were all elite soldiers personally selected by the Southern Protector, and it was impossible for the Southern Protector to intersperse the spies himself. The captain was puzzled, and he didn't have any extra time to think about this at the moment, the first thing to solve was to snatch back the secret letter of the Southern Protector! The leather whip was slammed on the horse's back, and the horse neighed quickly, and rushed forward faster.
After Bai Xin and Tong Jun saw this secret letter, the two looked at each other.
Tong Jun looked at Bai Xin with a bewildered face and said, "What now?"
Bai Xin suddenly put the letter back into the paper tube, and said to Tong Jun with a firm look in his eyes: "We are going to help the Yushi Clan!"
Tong Jun also came back to his senses and said, "This is an order from the imperial court, did someone from the Yushi clan do something to anger the imperial court?"
"Even if someone from the Imperial Stone Clan did something sorry for the imperial court, they didn't have the right to kill all the people of a clan! And it was very clear in the letter that the Southern Protector had sent the Seven Sacrifices to the Zhu Clan not to punish them, but simply to seize the so-called Moonstone!" Bai Xin suddenly became very excited, his fists clenched, and his knuckles faintly turned white because of the excessive force!
"How can I help?"
Bai Xin thought for a while and said, "We have this letter, as long as we see the Imperial Stone Patriarch, show it to him." Tell him to quickly find a way to resist or move his people to safety first. ”
"Well, let's go find where they live first. After all, Tong Jun is not as well-informed as Bai Xin, and he echoed at this moment.
"On the third day of the seventh month, five days later. We don't know where the Goshi Clan is yet, so we need to find it as soon as possible. Bai Xin frowned and calculated.
"Without this secret letter, maybe the Seven Priests wouldn't have known about it. ”
Bai Xin said, "I hope so." It's just that even if there is no secret letter for this kind of event, there should be other ways to notify it. Let's prepare for the worst, the Seven Priests will still be ordered to attack the Imperial Stone Clan, so that nothing goes wrong!"
Tong Jun nodded in agreement with Bai Xin's statement. The two of them gathered up their salutes, intending to take a short rest before setting off to find the Imperial Stone Clan.
Suddenly, Bai Xin heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance, and the wind rose into the air, and by the moonlight, he saw a team of people and horses walking on the dust and rushing towards them. Bai Xin shouted at Tong Jun: "It's not good! The official is catching up! Run!"
Tong Jun quickly got up and fled with Bai Xin. "The jungle is so big, how could they find us so quickly?And we escaped so far before stealing the package, how do they know our exact location?" Bai Xin couldn't figure it out, looking for two people aimlessly in the sparse jungle was tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack.
Tong Jun didn't know what was going on, and said, "I don't know." ”
"Get rid of them first!"
So Bai Xin and Tong Jun did not flee in a straight line, twisting and turning their routes, going around in the jungle. But no matter how messy the two of them were, after a while, the sound of horses' hooves could be heard behind them.
"Damn, I see. It must be this secret letter!" Bai Xin suddenly had an epiphany.
Tong Jun still didn't understand, and said, "Secret letter, is there anything special about secret letter?"
"With such an important secret letter, they must have some way to track it down to prevent it from being lost halfway. These officials can always know our location so accurately!"
"Makes sense! So what now?"
Bai Xin thought for a while and said, "It seems that you can only get rid of them by throwing away the secret letter." ”
"But without the secret letter, how can we make the people of the Imperial Stone Clan believe our words? ”
"That's right. Bai Xin said, "Forget it, let's run away first, and see how long they can catch up." ”
While Bai Xin and Tong Jun were talking, "Whoosh~" A feather arrow flew out of the woods on the side of the two of them, flying straight towards Tong Jun, Tong Jun turned around urgently when he heard the sound, and the flying arrow slashed over his left shoulder. The feather arrow was wrapped in white light, drawing a shining straight line in the air, and just by rubbing it, Tong Jun's clothes were shattered, and Tong Jun's left shoulder immediately had a blood mark!
This is obviously not an ordinary feather arrow, it was shot into a big tree behind him by the arrow that Tong Jun dodged, "bang!", the big tree broke at the waist! Tong Jun was frightened for a while, if he was shot by such a powerful arrow, he would definitely lose his life.
Tong Jun drank, and didn't have time to think about it, the two yellow beads behind his shoulders had already floated out, and the two beads emitted streams of yellow flames, Tong Jun had to give up fleeing at the moment, standing on the branch and concentrating on the surrounding situation. Suddenly, another arrow whistled from another direction, and Tong Jun's perception and speed had skyrocketed, and a backflip gently dodged the arrow that came this time.
White Heart floated in the air, and another arrow shot at him. He didn't have Tong Jun's reaction speed, so he didn't have time to dodge at all, seeing that the arrow was about to hit him, the green dragon hiding in the distance pressed his claws to the ground, "poof~" Bai Xin disappeared and appeared next to the green dragon, dodging a thrilling arrow.
It turns out that as long as Bai Xin is fighting, Qinglong will hide far away, and through the mutual summoning between the two, Bai Xin's life can be saved at a critical moment. As soon as Bai Xin arrived at Qinglong's side, Qinglong ran into the distance again, and the two of them scattered as much as possible.
"Whoosh!whoosh!whoosh!" A few sounds, nine officers and soldiers had already gathered around the trees around Bai Xin and Tong Jun. The captain stood at the front, and when he saw Bai Xin and Tong Jun who turned out to be the two children who were begging for food from them during the day, he shouted at the two of them: "You two little ghosts, why do you want to intercept the official team!"
Bai Xin's eyes rolled, his face was full of smiles, and he said, "Lord Guancha, my brother and I are indeed hungry, so let's find something to eat." ”
The captain shouted angrily, "Fart, what is your real purpose?"
Bai Xin pretended to be innocent and said, "I'm really looking for food." ”
"It seems that you won't be honest if you don't give you some color, is there a mastermind behind it, obediently explain that we may be able to spare your dog's life!"
"Your Excellency, we're really here to find food. I don't understand what you're talking about. You are so careful about food, it's a big deal to pay you back. ”
As he spoke, three other men with twelve horses had already arrived. Only then did Bai Xin understand that it turned out that these officials were not vegetarians: the previous few chases let them know that Bai Xin and the two would run away when they heard the sound of horses, so they taught the three of them to drive twelve horses, creating a momentum that made Bai Xin and the two think that they had been chasing from a distance, but in fact, the other nine had abandoned their horses and quietly chased after them. Bai Xin has always relied on the sound of horses' hooves to judge the pursuit of officials, but he didn't expect them to abandon their horses in pursuit, and by the time Tong Jun found out, they had already been surrounded.
"Awesome!" Bai Xin saw that these officials could immediately find a workaround to pursue them, and a trace of admiration unconsciously rose in his heart. Then Bai Xin took out the package and said, "Since you value food so much, why don't you give it back to you!" and then threw the burden towards the captain without hesitation.
The captain got up and grabbed the package in disbelief, and at this moment the captain couldn't figure out the true purpose of the two of them, if the two children were really just for food, and didn't see the letter in the package, they wouldn't be able to force each other tightly, otherwise wouldn't there be three hundred taels of silver here. Their purpose was to send the letter to the hands of the seven priests, and they didn't want to make any extraneous branches, so the captain directly opened it to check the contents after receiving the package, but when the captain untied the burden, "bang~" sounded, and a huge smoke came out of the baggage! At the same time, Bai Xin grabbed Tong Jun's hand and flew towards the sky.
A large cloud of smoke instantly surrounded the official messenger, and the official messenger and his party couldn't see anything in the thick smoke, constantly coughing and waving their hands in an attempt to disperse the smoke.
Bai Xin grabbed Tong Jun and flew away from the sky. Tong Jun watched the smoke ball gradually move away and asked, "What is that?"
"Give them a few smoke charms!"
"Where's the secret letter?"
Bai Xin proudly took out the paper tube from his bosom and said, "I'm not so stupid! As I expected, they can only know the general location of the letter, and there is no way to know its exact location, otherwise the captain should be able to detect that the secret letter is not in the package just now." And he didn't know if we had read the letter, so he didn't dare to mention it. ”
"It's so smart. But now they should be sure that we know about the letter. Tong Jun admired Bai Xin's adaptability even more.
"Well, we have to try to escape and find the Imperial Stone Clan quickly!"
The two of them were more careful this time, and they quickly shuttled through the jungle without staying for a moment. It's just that the officials who can participate in such a confidential incident are not idle people, and from time to time, arrows keep shooting at Bai Xin and Tong Jun. Bai Xin exclaimed: "Catching up with us so quickly, amazing!"
Tong Jun was also a little worried, and the constant dodging of the arrows greatly reduced the escape speed of the two. "What should I do? Throw the letter away?"
Bai Xin sighed and said helplessly: "I can only do this." ”
However, when he turned around, he could already see the figure of the official behind him, and Bai Xin said worriedly: "I'm afraid it's too late, we can't get rid of them now, even if we throw the letter, they won't let the two of us go!
While speaking, several more flying arrows passed by Bai Xin and Tong Jun, and the two tried their best to escape while dodging, and they were about to be caught up.
