Chapter 382: On the Run (2)

The mountain wind is howling, and the environment in the mountains is much worse than the villages at the foot of the mountains.

Xue Yi and Xiao Qi were two people, and their limbs were already a little stiff from the cold.

Especially Xue Yi, the blood stains all over his body had frozen into lumps at this time, and the cold condensation was absorbing the temperature of his aunt's body all the time.

"Xue Yi, why don't you rest for a while, I'm afraid your body won't be able to support it."

"It's okay, I can still hear the voices behind us, if we don't hurry up, it's not good to be chased by the people behind."

The two of them walked along the mountain road with footprints towards the deep mountains, knowing that there was one behind them, but the two of them had no way to go elsewhere.

The mountain road in this area is bumpy, and the two of them don't know the details, if they rashly leave here with light work, they will lose their way and the people behind them will catch it.

"Xueyi, we can't go blindly like this anymore. We have to think of something, or they'll get closer and closer to us. ”

The noise behind is getting louder and louder, and I think it must be those people from the imperial court who brought the villagers into the mountain, and these people must have follow-up support.

Xiao Qi and Xue Yi were the only two of them when they went out, although they were much lighter than the people behind, but if they ran away and chased after them like now, it wouldn't take long for them to be chased.

So the two of them have to take advantage of the current lightness, and with only the two of them, the goal will not be too big.

Xue Yi looked to both sides, nodded, jumped up, first jumped onto a tree, and the people behind her were still far from here.

"Miss follow me."

Xiaoxi nodded, jumped forward, and as Xue Yi flew forward, the figures of the two people gradually disappeared into the dense forest.

After a while, the people behind finally chased after them, and they stopped where Xiao Qi stayed just now.

The dogs in the hands of the villagers began to bark at this time, apparently they had to stop here. The reason is the loss of bearing.

"What's going on? How stopped. ”

"Big... Big... The hounds have lost their bearings, and now they don't know where they have fled. ”

An honest hunter, dragging the hound in his left hand, explained the current situation with some restraint.

This adult is wearing a black and red one, a navy blue cloak on his clothes, a martial crown on his head, a cicada as a tattoo, and a mink tail on the back.

Dressed in a suit, showing his extraordinary.

"Did it disappear here?"

"Yes, my lord, the hounds have lost their scent from here, indicating that they..."

"Let's be clear."

"They must have flown from here."

As if he was angry, the adults were so frightened that the hunters quickly fell to their knees.

"Adults spare our lives, we are just ordinary people, and we really can't help a few adults."

"Alright, you stay here, and the rest of me will come with me."

"Lord Qian, it's better to let these hunters take their dogs and chase them around, let some people stay here, and if there is anything, let them support."

"Okay, just what Mr. Liu said."

Lord Qian selected a few people from among his subordinates and stayed here, while the rest of the people jumped directly into the air with Lord Qian.

This Liu Zongbing's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and then he immediately stretched, and looked at his subordinates with a kind face, telling what he just said.

The hunters then divided into several groups, each with a few soldiers following, and searched in different directions to the edge of the mountain.

This mountain range is so huge that it is an impossible project to ask soldiers to close the mountain.

"The rest of the people prepare the meal."

People are iron and steel, marching and fighting, grain and grass go first, this Liu General Soldier knows this well.

Besides, he is just an entourage this time, and he has to look at the face of other people's Qian to do things, in order not to anger others, this logistics work still has to be done well.

Master Qian doesn't think about his subordinates, he, the chief soldier, always thinks about the people under him.

At that time, Lord Qian patted his ass and led the credit back to the capital, but he, the chief soldier, had no way to leave.

After all, most of the teams entering the mountain were Liu Zongbing's own subordinates, and treating these people well was also to buy people's hearts.

Of course, Liu Zongbing did not dare not contribute, after all, whether they were from the imperial court or the personnel personally sent by His Majesty the Emperor, Liu Zongbing could neither work thanklessly nor suffer losses or blessings.

When the group dispersed to do their own things, Liu Zongbing's henchman walked up to Liu Zongbing, "My lord, do you say that this Qian can catch that person?" ”

"Ask me, who am I asking, what you say is, if I could know, I would have gone to be a national teacher a long time ago, and I could still be a small chief soldier here."

Liu Zongbing looked at the figure in the distance, "Don't make any crooked ideas for you kid, don't bother me when the time comes." ”

This person hurriedly bowed his hand and said: "Chief soldier, I will always be the first to look forward to you, how can I do something foolish to hide from you!" ”

"Humph! It's good to know. ”

"Okay, you can get it snowing, let your brothers hurry up and make the meal. When the time comes, give the money, and they will send it over first. ”

"Isn't Lord Qian already chasing people?"

"If I'm not mistaken, Lord Qian will return in vain."

Mr. Liu's voice was very low, and there was a slight disdain in his words, as if he had expected all this.

This piece of forest can just be used as a pedal for Xiao Qi and the two of them, and it can also be convenient for them to hide their tracks.

Footprints on branches can also be buried with snow that has accumulated on the branches.

Even if they can't be buried, it will be very difficult for them to find their footprints among so many trees.

Although Xiao Qi didn't know what Xue Yi saw and had to go in this direction, Xiao Qi was really convinced that Xue Yi would not hurt her.

This direction is not at the foot of the mountain, but along the continuous mountains towards the deep mountains.

"Xue Yi, if we go inside, it will be difficult to go out again."

"Don't worry, miss, I'll take you out, and we'll be at the agreed place soon."

Xue Yi was afraid that Xiao Qi wouldn't understand what he meant, so she continued: "It's a place agreed with Uncle Shi and the Nail Palace Elder. ”

At the same time, Shengri City is also carrying out a mighty arrest operation.

"Get out of the way! Get out of the way! The yamen is doing things, and the idle people are avoiding it as soon as possible. ”

The people of Shengri City have seen it more or less in the Yamen and arrest people, but today is indeed a little different.

Because most of these people are soldiers, it is only possible to send troops if they arrest rebels or handle cases with princes.

These army soldiers were led by dentists in front of the way. The leader in the middle is an official dressed in red and black, holding a knife in his right hand, and he is very imposing.

They divided into three groups and quickly assembled in one place.

"Your Excellency."

The people guarding the mouth and end of the alley each respectfully answered the current situation in the alley to the leading official.

"So that's what happened in the alley."

"Yes. Since yesterday, all but one of them have fled and the rest of them have been in the alley and have not left. ”

"As long as these people are captured alive, I will definitely ask for credit for a few of you in front of Lord Qian in the future."

Several people had different expressions on their faces, no doubt expressing their joy.

They hurriedly fell to one knee on the ground, "Thank you, sir." ”

"A few please, these are a few deserved, we have today's achievements, all rely on Brother Qian, a few in the future, if there is any achievement, don't forget Brother Qian."

"The little ones will be remembered."

Of course, the adult no longer looked at the person kneeling beside him, but looked at the alley.

"Begin to persuade to surrender!"

"Xiang Cai, you have been surrounded, don't make senseless resistance, come out and surrender quickly, this is your only way out."

"The people inside heard and hurried out, and there were no one waiting for them, so they quickly gathered in the square outside, and if there was a slight mistake, they would be executed immediately."

A few men in red and black cloaks quickly drew their knives and stabbed at the door of the alley, watching everyone who came out of it.

A servant was holding a roster, and there was no one in the alley, so he sketched one out of the roster.

It can be seen very clearly that the officer's face is pale, his hands are trembling, and he can't help but tremble when he sketches.

Although the adult looked a little displeased, he never said anything, just stared coldly at the mouth of the alley, for fear that someone would break out of it.

It was almost time for the people inside to come out, and the adult said to the official who had drawn up the roster, "But what have you found?" ”

"Tell your lord Longming Lane, twenty-seven households, except for those who are outside, the remaining forty-one people are all here, and none of them are missing."

The adult nodded, of course he didn't think that the people inside would be so simple and surrender.

"Are you sure it's all the people in there?"

"Back to my lord, twenty-seven households, except for those who are not at home, all of them are here."

"Can you be sure of the identities of these people?"

"Back to my lord, I am a person from the alley around here, I have known them since I was a child, and besides, I am sketching them one by one according to the roster, and there is absolutely no mistake."

"Very well, since there are no innocent people, we will not be restrained."

The lord quickly told him to leave the place with the people for a while, and then asked the soldiers outside to guard him tightly.

And he beckoned the guys in the red and black cloaks to prepare to attack inside.

"Colleagues, there is no such thing as whether this Xiang Cai will be useless in our intelligence, and when the time comes, we must be careful when we rush in, and we can't treat it carelessly."

"Whoa!"

Everyone drew their steel knives from their hands, and under the wave of the adult, they rushed into the mouth of the alley without stopping for a moment.

When the soldiers outside saw this situation, they all clenched their spears and waited for them.

Sweat was already oozing from the foreheads of many soldiers.
