With no more arrows flying over his head, Rhodes lowered his oars and breathed a sigh of relief, looking hatefully at the shore as they were helpless pursuers. The group stayed where they were for a moment www.biquge.info and then, as Pauli had guessed, the two teams parted along the shore of the lake and disappeared behind the groves and reeds. The last few boats have been branched out of the shore, and they are safe for the time being.

Pauli put away his weapon and sat on the side of the boat to open the map: "The enemy will not let us go easily, and the reason for dividing into two teams is to search a full circle along the shore of the lake to make sure we can't escape." The boat must have been slower than the horses, but we were crossing the narrowest part of the lake, and they had to make a great circle......"

The swordsman frowned, they could have reached the other side of the lake faster, but what about after that? it was still a long way from the Empire's borders, and it was difficult to escape the pursuers led by hounds behind them.

In the afternoon, the sun will shine on the lake, and the breeze will rise, and the water will ripple, and the lake will be filled with gold

Pauli put away the map, used a stick that could be used as an oar, and rowed with the other three: "What do you two think of those guys?"

"No...... I'm just an ordinary fisherman, so I beg your ......."

"I'm not asking you, shut up!"

"Those guys must have been sent by the people who were going to kill Rhodes. Cinese said solemnly: "The upper echelons of Anteli have made it clear that they want to capture them alive, but they did not hesitate to shoot people with arrows...... Even regardless of the owner of the ship that we 'hijacked'. ”

Pauli nodded: "Do you know why Dieter took your weapon away, except for letting Morfan, who is similar to you, carry your big sword to attract the attention of the pursuers, and he doesn't intend for you to violently resist the capture." If you really don't run away and are caught up, the resistance is almost certain to die, and the surrender gamble does not fall into the hands of the forces that want to kill you, but there is still life. ”

"But now it's the people who want to kill me who are chasing us?"

"So it's a problem, we have to get to the shore as soon as possible and find ......" Pauli put down his stick and began to study the map: "Find an uninhabited forest or mountain area and hide in it to avoid being pursued." ”

There are only two oars on the boat, and the wooden sticks can not help much, and the difference in speed between three-person and four-person rowing is not obvious...... No one spoke, except for the soft sound of the bow of the boat paddling across the water and the sparse chirping of the surrounding waterfowl.

Temporarily out of the crisis, the situation is still not optimistic.

After a moment, the lean man sighed and put down the map: "Unfortunately, there is no ideal location, and the plains of the Antaili hinterland have created a large area of fertile land, without any natural hazards. It is for this reason that Antelli has always maintained a strong military force. ”

Rhodes rowed hard, inexperienced, didn't know what to do, after using up some physical strength, suddenly felt stuffy, took off the hood and pulled off the wig, and tore off the layer of things attached to his face, returning to his original appearance, and suddenly felt relaxed and cool.

Although he had already heard from his voice that he was a man, the owner of the ship was still dumbfounded when he saw him change from a beautiful girl to a heroic young man...... As if frightened by his "tearing face" action, he thought that he was going to kill his mouth, and after a moment of stupidity, he threw down the oars again and begged for mercy.

"We won't hurt you!" Ciri glared at the begger angrily and looked at Rhodes reproachfully, "What are you doing with the disguise?"

"I'm being targeted anyway, so don't do it. ”

"Now we have three paths in front of us. Pauli rarely did not mock Rhodes's emotional behavior, "It's hard and risky to fight the pursuers and kill them, or find the nearest Antelli army and official department and turn yourself in." Since the wanted notice says that you will be captured alive, there is still a chance to throw yourself into the net...... But this plan is tantamount to handing over all fate to others, and Dieter took us out because he didn't want to leave Rod's life and death to someone else. ”

"We don't know who exactly wanted to kill Rhodes, and if that man is powerful enough to force the magistrates to hand us over, then Rhodes is dead. Ciri interjected, "It's better for me to take Rod to teleport randomly." ”

"The third way is up to you. Pauli's eyes showed some weakness: "Leave me alone then, just take your little boyfriend away." ”

"You're just a little boyfriend. Ciri retorted weakly, nodding in agreement.

"We're not there yet, so let's speed up the boat and get to the shore as soon as possible in the direction of the Wakhran River. Pauli snatched the oars from the boatman's hand and began to row again: "It's farther away, but if we're lucky enough not to be caught up before we reach it, then we might be able to try again with the gourd and grab the fastest boat and run down the river." ”

"Uncle, I'm sorry to get you into trouble, this money is compensation. When they finally landed, Rods gave the owner of the boat a gold coin and led the three horses off the boat: "Collect the money, take the family out and hide for a while, and don't be arrested in the name of assisting the fugitives." ”

"It's hard to protect yourself, and you still have the heart to care about others. Bubble climbed on the horse first, and then habitually snorted coldly: "Hurry up, this uncle doesn't want money now, he just wants to get rid of us quickly and row his boat home." ”

Looking at the ship's owner's cowering appearance, Rhodes understood that what the man said was the truth, sighed, climbed on his horse and began to flee.

Although he had never been here, Pauli had a very good sense of direction, and he didn't even have to stop to look at the map, and he took the two young men on his way without looking back.

Everything went smoothly and nothing stood in the way. But the accident came from within...... The maroon stallion that Rhodes was riding began to gasp and slow down, unable to keep up with the other two anyway, and they had to stop to check on the situation.

Pauli circled the horse and quickly discovered the problem: "Damn, it was wounded by an arrow." ”

It was the horse that had been in a commotion when it was attacked on the boat, and an arrow had a wound on its hind legs, and it did not bleed much, and it was red, and they did not find anything unusual when they landed, and at this moment they were running wildly with the wound for a while, and the injury was aggravated, and it was evident that they could not run again.

"Don't worry about a brute, take care of yourself!" Pauli immediately replied, and immediately yelled at Rhodes, who was full of distress. He's not a veterinarian, and even if he is, it's impossible to stop doing anything now, "Upper Ciri's horse, quick!"

"Two on one horse?"

"That's all there is to it, don't be awkward!" Ciri reached out to him on his horse and pulled him up.

Except for the time when they carried Ciri back from the forest, the two had never been so close again, hugging her flexible and slender waist, their bodies rubbing against each other as the horses moved, and they both smelled each other's body odor.

But there was no time to worry about the horses, although Rod and Ciri were not heavy, and they combined were more than two hundred pounds, so after running for a while, the speed of the horses soon began to decrease.

"It can't go on like this. Pauli judged, "It is impossible for us to get rid of our pursuers and get to the ferry first, and go that way...... We had to run into the woods, where there was no road. ”

"Fight them there?"

"When the time comes, go ahead, squeeze out the last bit of physical strength of the horse!"
