Chapter 52: Fleeing Overnight
Leng Jing led several elite soldiers to the place of the incident, Leng Jing looked at the strange death of the demon clansmen hanging on the tree, and his face was cloudy.
This way of doing it doesn't look like a human style, and even if it is a human being, it is by no means decent.
A trace of unexpectedly bloody aura in the woods was caught by him, and his figure flashed, and he appeared at the place where Ye Chen's father was seriously injured.
Leng Jing squatted down, dipped the blood with his fingers, put it in his mouth and closed his eyes.
"I was not lightly injured, there must be more than one person, I can't run too far, chase!" When he opened his eyes again, he had already remembered the smell of blood in his heart, and he rose from the ground with a group of people and disappeared into the night sky.
He Yang's carriage was almost running away from the wheels as soon as he rode at this time.
"Boss, how long do you have to run, if you run like this, people can stand it, and the horse can't hold it." He Yang watched the old horse pulling the cart run out of breath, and his speed became slower and slower.
Ye Chen looked back at the sky, the bright moon hung high in the sky, and the air was as clean as a mirror.
But Ye Chen didn't dare to breathe a sigh of relief, he had a faint feeling that it was only a matter of time before the pursuers arrived.
If the Extreme Heavenly Demon, who was not even rivaled by Zheng Tianzun, really appeared, his party would have to die in the wilderness today.
"How far is the nearest town?" Ye Chen asked.
"Ten miles away!"
"Let's go to the city, change the horse and run!" Ye Chen made up his mind, took out a talisman from his arms and slapped it on the horse's buttocks, and the old horse ran forward again as if he had taken drugs.
Half a pillar of incense time passed, and Ye Chen breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the town.
Even if it's not safe here, it's enough to drag on for a while.
"Stop, where did you come from? What for? "A guard came up to intercept him.
"Two military masters, my father was hunting in the mountains, he was seriously injured by wild beasts, and he came to the city to find Langzhong, and it was good to bother the military master!" Ye Chen clasped his hands into fists and said politely.
"Recently, there has been tuberculosis inside and outside the city, in order to protect the people in the city, the county lord has an order, and all people who are not in the city are prohibited from entering, please go back!" The soldier shook his head and said.
"Master Jun, okay, my dad is dying!" Ye Chen pleaded.
"No, no, without the order of the county master, how dare we release people without authorization, if we are found and we will go to prison, you better go quickly and find another way, so as not to delay the condition!"
Ye Chen was speechless, and quietly took out a 1,000 gold silver ticket from his arms and handed it over, this money was still scavenged by Zheng Tianzun on the body of the bloody sect master, as a zombie, Ye Chen never thought that he would be able to use it one day, and he almost threw it away as garbage at the beginning.
After all, for him in the past, money was no different from waste paper.
"Master Jun, you see this is my customs clearance certificate, okay?"
When He Yang saw the amount on the silver ticket, his eyes almost didn't fall out, and he could earn one or twenty gold hard-earned money in a year of hard work.
The boss is always the boss, and this shot is a thousand gold! This is a number that he will never earn in his life, but this shot is not too generous.
How did he know that this was the smallest amount in Ye Chen's arms......
When the soldier saw the silver ticket, he was stunned.
I am afraid that this silver ticket is not fake, he took it in his hand and looked at it over and over again, but the big seal on it is definitely not fake, and the money village of the four seas can be withdrawn in any city.
As a soldier, let alone 1,000 gold, he won't even earn 100 gold until he dies in his life.
"Master Jun! Saving someone's life is better than creating a seventh-level floating slaughter! Seeing that the soldier was deep in thought, Ye Chen spoke again.
Hearing this, the soldier gritted his teeth, waved his big hand, and let a few people into the city.
Even if he is discovered by the county magistrate, he can leave enough money for his wife, children and parents at home to spend several lifetimes, and he can also save people's lives.
Leng Jing and his party were in the mountain village, three circles inside and three circles outside, and they didn't even see a single figure.
"Commander Leng Jing, I didn't find the target, do we want to go back?" One of his men asked.
Leng Jing's face turned cold, and he instantly drew his knife, and the head of this subordinate flew out in response, the blood on his neck splattered more than five meters high, and his body fell to the ground with a thud and couldn't stop convulsing, and the other people who watched it felt chills in their hearts.
"Keep looking!"
…………
Outside the post station in the city, Ye Chen looked at the post station that had closed, and went up to knock on the door for a while.
"Shopkeeper, open the door! 100,000 urgent! ”
"Who, it's closed, come back tomorrow morning!" The voice of a drunken man came from the room, apparently having drunk a lot.
Ye Chen didn't talk nonsense, and kicked the door open.
"Did you eat the gall of the ambitious leopard? Find fault and don't look at the place? The shopkeeper obviously didn't expect the arrivals to break down the door directly, took out the long knife and rushed up.
Ye Chen raised his hand and clamped the long knife he had chopped with two fingers, and the long knife was broken in two in response, ignoring the shopkeeper's reaction, he turned around and spoke to He Yang.
"You go find the horse, I'll deal with the shopkeeper!" When He Yang saw Ye Chen show his hand, he immediately nodded and walked straight to the backyard.
Seeing Ye Chen's hand, the shopkeeper's wine was half awake, after all, he was also a qi practitioner in the martial arts realm, although he was not a master, but few people dared to come to the door to cause trouble on weekdays.
Seeing that he hit a hard nail today, the whole person immediately softened.
"My lord, the little one has eyes and doesn't know Mount Tai, please raise your noble hand!" As he spoke, he knelt down vividly.
A master of this kind of strength is by no means an existence that he can afford to provoke at his level.
"The shopkeeper, please get up, there is a lot of offense in the bottom! We need horses, and I'm willing to pay double the price. As he spoke, he took out a handful of broken silver and handed it to the shopkeeper.
This money was specially given to Ye Chen by He Yang after entering the city, and he sold 1,000 gold at a time, which was too bad for money, and He Yang really couldn't stand it.
But how dare the shopkeeper accept it, he hurriedly refused, and accepted this kind of money, for fear that he would have his life to take the money and not to sleep.
Seeing this, Ye Chen put the money on the counter, and the shopkeeper wanted to refuse, but Ye Chen said coldly, "Are you not giving me face?" The shopkeeper immediately turned pale, and hurriedly put away the silver, not daring to say anything more.
"Boss, the horses have changed!" He Yang's voice came from outside the door.
Ye Chen went out, and after checking his father's injury again, Ye Chen extinguished the lantern and did not stop for a moment, the carriage entered from the west gate and exited the east gate, and once again embarked on the road of escape.
"Son, what the hell is going on?" Ye Chen's mother felt that something was wrong, and couldn't help but ask.
"Mother, it's okay, you can rest assured!"
Seeing that Ye Chen didn't want to say more, her mother didn't ask any more, she believed that her son would not harm herself.
"Boss, you have this skill, why do you have to talk so much with the soldiers?" He Yang asked with some puzzlement.
"We're running for our lives, there are demons chasing after us, and we're already burning our eyebrows, and then the officers and soldiers are following all the way, do you think we can still run away?"
When He Yang heard this, he suddenly realized, "The boss is wise! ”
Shortly after the carriage left the town, several figures followed the rutted prints outside the city.
"Who's standing?"
coincided with the change of the guard, and the soldier with the silver ticket took off his uniform and fled away.
But the soldiers who changed shifts were not so lucky, and after a shout, they were greeted with a ghost-headed broadsword, and before he could shout, he died in Huangquan.
A group of demons entered the city, and the bluestone floor was devoid of the rut marks left by the carriage, and they lost their direction.
"Kill! Kill all the people of this city! Not a single one to stay! ”
For a while, the screams in the town were endless, the shouting and killing sound shook the sky, and there was a demon clan sitting in the four city gates, catching turtles in the urn of the people in the city, and slaughtering them all!
The city was full of fires, and the sky was red, just reflecting a bloody morning sun, as if telling the endgame.
After daybreak, there was a river of blood in the city, and no one survived, not even women and children.
"Commander! All the people in the city were slaughtered, and there was no one alive! ”
Leng Jing didn't speak, although he still had some doubts in his heart, but he looked at the mess in front of him and felt a little more steady.
"Is there any trace of Gu Ling's flag envoy?"
"Back to the commander, I haven't found it yet."
"Retreat." It was dawn, and Leng Jing had to give the order to retreat.
"Yes!"
After a night of running, a glimmer of light finally appeared in the sky, but today's sun is as red as blood.
"There was a killing last night...... Ye Chen remembered that the yin and yang technique taught by Wuchenzi said that this sunrise color was dyed with blood.
Ye Chen looked back to the west, only to see wisps of black smoke rising from the sky, it was the town where the horses were replaced last night.
He Yang also reacted immediately, his face pale.
"Have we killed the people of a town?" He Yang said tremblingly in disbelief.
"It's not us who killed them, it's the demons!"
Driving all the way to the east, although he did not say that he traveled thousands of miles a day, he also walked more than four or five hundred miles, and Ye Chen decided to stop and rest.
After settling his parents, he called He Yang into the room.
Ye Chen now has to figure out what kind of conspiracy this demon clan has!
