Chapter 316: Tricked Again
Behind him, his mercenaries escorted Madam Xue forward.
Madam Xue glanced at the mount on the ground, looked away in disgust and asked, "Captain Liu, could it be that this is the second clue left by that kid?"
"Possibly, it looks like that kid has joined up with those miscellaneous mercenaries. Captain Liu's eyes sharpened and he looked around and guessed.
Hearing that Gu Chensheng was most likely hiding nearby, Mrs. Xue's expression immediately became a little nervous, she shrank into the crowd, still feeling that her life was not guaranteed, so she had to ask for help from Head Liu: "Head Liu, you must find that kid." ”
"Rest assured. Head Liu nodded, and then waved his hand and ordered: "Raise your spirits and search carefully." ”
...
...
Along the way, Gu Chensheng gave out his plan.
Everyone was dumbfounded.
The little princess blinked and wondered, "What if they guess your plan?"
"Probably not. Gu Chensheng said.
"Why?"
"If we guessed, then we are afraid that we will be surrounded by them at this time. Gu Chensheng said.
"Oh," the little princess nodded, and then continued to ask, "What poison did you give her?"
"Nothing, just lied to her. "Gu Chensheng is honest, and he doesn't have any poison.
"Do they believe it?" the crowd was amazed.
"I shouldn't believe it all, but that Mrs. Xue obviously has a bit of a background, and I also had an idea, I guess that the head of Liu will not bet on whether she is really poisoned for the sake of a guess. Gu Chensheng said.
"And what's the antidote you gave them?"
"The mud and grass on the ground were crushed with true qi and then pinched. ”
"It's... The little princess muttered for a long time, not knowing what to say.
"Anyway, they can't eat the dead, it's still the same sentence, if they find out that it's boring, I'm afraid they will already run with all their strength to catch up with us. If you are smarter, we should also divide into two teams, one team to chase us, and the other team to stay where we are to find the other half of the antidote. ”
Gu Chensheng paused and continued: "However, there is an example of me killing their six-grade mercenaries before, if you chase them, it can only be that Regiment Leader Liu personally brings people to chase them, but in that case, they can't be sure if we are running on the official road, if he wants to protect Mrs. Xue, he must take her with him, but in this way, they must bear a result, that is, in case of a real 'poisonous hair', and we are not on the official road." ”
"Therefore, as long as they can't find the remaining half of the antidote, there is a high probability that they will not risk chasing us, unless that Mrs. Xue spares her life and is sure that a few of us will not hide in the woods, otherwise as long as they spend time searching for our traces in the forest, then they will definitely not be able to find it. ”
"This is all what you thought of when you decided to stay?" The little princess's face was full of surprise, she originally thought that she had understood Gu Chensheng after a few days of getting along, but she didn't expect this guy to still be so deeply hidden.
"Such a scheming talent, whether it is all he is or the tip of the iceberg. The little princess thought.
"That's not true, the situation was urgent at that time, where did I have time to think about it so much, and I only came up with this escape plan after I was sure that Mrs. Xue really had a role in it. Gu Chensheng said.
"After confirming that Mrs. Xue has a role in making it..."
A few people recalled, wasn't that the time when Captain Liu agreed to let them go? This guy is too modest!
"Well... So what are you going to do next? The little princess asked.
"What to do?" Gu Chensheng wondered.
"Since the poisoning is fake, and you didn't leave that half of the 'antidote', although they will consume time, they will always catch up. The little princess said.
"yes... What should I do..."Gu Chensheng sighed, looking like he had no choice.
Seeing Gu Chensheng's appearance, several people instantly seemed to have lost their central bone, and they naturally didn't blame anything for this, but after all, they still felt a trace of fear for the shadow of death.
"Don't think about it so much, if you have this time to think, it's better to pray if you can meet other mercenary groups. Gu Chensheng said.
"Ah, you're trying to hire some people to fight against Captain Liu? The little princess asked.
"If you do, you would. "Gu Chensheng is categorical.
He now knows the truth about these mercenaries leaving the city, as for why he didn't tell Hua Bo and the others, he is also worried that the pressure on these brothers is too great, whether he is happy or sad at this time, once his mood suffers too much fluctuation, it will be useless for him to escape.
"Little Brother Gu, this trip may not encounter any big mercenary groups, as early as a few days ago, those large-scale mercenary groups had already left Fancheng and searched everywhere, even if they can meet now, most of them are not as good as Captain Liu and others..."
"I see..."Gu Chensheng nodded and didn't say anything more.
This place is still a day's journey away from Fancheng.
"If there are no variables... I can't say that I'm really going to work hard. Gu Chensheng muttered.
Regarding the logo deliberately left by Gu Chensheng, Head Liu and the others conducted a carpet search of this area according to the inertia of their thinking last time, and in the end, they were three feet away from digging into the ground, and they still couldn't find half of the pill.
Listening to the search results constantly reported by his subordinates, Regiment Leader Liu's eyes widened, and a voice in his heart kept telling him that he had been tricked.
Mrs. Xue on the side, her face was also gloomy, and she was about to squeeze out the water.
She hadn't thought of that layer yet, she was just purely worried because she couldn't find the other half of the antidote pill.
She bent her palm, dragging the half of the detoxification pill, sometimes frowning and sometimes sighing, under the powerful psychological suggestion, Mrs. Xue felt that the inside of her body seemed to be being eroded by something.
"Come back!" Suddenly, Mrs. Xue's thoughts were interrupted by a shout from Head Liu.
"Why didn't you look for it?" asked Mrs. Xue.
"We were tricked by that kid!" Captain Liu had to admit that he had the upper hand again, once again in Gu Chensheng's confrontation.
"Are you saying he didn't put the other half of the detoxification pill here?" said Madam Xue with a frown.
"I even suspect now that the poison he said is fake!" Commander Liu looked at the half pill in Mrs. Xue's hand, resisted the urge to snatch it and throw it out, turned around and said angrily to the mercenaries under him: "Divide ten people to continue the search, and the rest will chase after me!"
"You're crazy! What if that kid is still hiding in the woods?"
