After chasing for several miles, the sumirama stopped, turned over and dismounted, and crouched on the ground to check the horse's hoof prints.

Tang Xiaohao also grabbed the reins and stopped: "What's wrong?" ”

The little bell held a sword and was vigilant around, and now it was not yet dawn, so he didn't dare to take it lightly.

Su Mu took out the fire fold to light the lighting, and measured the length, width and depth of the horseshoe print with his hand: "You can't chase this road anymore." ”

Tang Xiaohao was puzzled: "Why?" ”

Su Mu explained: "The horse's hoof mark has changed, the previous mark is slightly wider and darker, indicating that the two are riding on the same horse, but from here, the horse's hoof mark has become narrower and lighter, indicating that the one named Childa and the princess have dismounted. ”

Tang Xiaohao also dismounted to check: "You mean, they dismounted and left on foot, but let the horses continue to move forward, misleading us?" ”

Su Mu got up: "Yes, it should be so, if we keep chasing down the horse's hoof mark, we won't be able to find them at all." ”

After speaking, Su Mu actually closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Tang Xiaohao asked, "What are you doing?" Are you sleepy? ”

How could Sumu be sleepy? As a thorn, it is common not to sleep for days and nights: "I am just recalling the map of the Tiangan Road and speculating on how they will go." ”

Tang Xiaohao immediately said: "No need to recall, although this is not an official road, but along this road all the way forward, it is Xinzheng County, through the three counties of Ruiyang, Huaixia and Mengyue, after crossing the Ziyin River is Xianchun County, and then arrived at Liangcheng on Tiangan Road." ”

Su Mu and Little Bell looked at Tang Xiaohao in surprise.

Su Mu asked, "Can you remember the map?" ”

Tang Xiaohao said: "The entire Jiuyuan, the other eight plains dare not say, the mountains, rivers, topography and landforms in Huayuan, I remembered it when I was twelve years old." ”

The reason why Tang Xiaohao can remember it is entirely because there is a map of the whole territory of Huayuan hanging in Tang Chen's study, he is very interested in the map, and he reads it every day, so he naturally remembers it all.

Who is this pony master? Su Mu is becoming more and more curious, and he is an arrogant and conceited person, and in the Xuan Ministry, except for the commander Aoki, no one else cares about it. However, when he first met Tang Xiaohao, he noticed that this kid was different, and he was different from all the people he knew before.

Su Mu didn't have any friends because he didn't think those people were worthy of being his friends, but this donkey seemed to be an exception.

Su Mu looked ahead and said: "So, even if they make a detour, they must follow this direction, only in this way can they reach Wulian Mountain as quickly as possible, that Kinda must also be over Wulian Mountain when he comes, and if he can be safe and sound, someone must lead him, if we don't catch up before they arrive at Wulian Mountain, we can only turn around and go back." ”

Little Bell immediately asked, "Why?" ”

Tang Xiaohao explained: "The reason why Wulian Mountain can become a barrier between Huayuan and Rouyuan is because that mountain is not something that ordinary people can set foot in. ”

Tang Xiaohao has heard a lot of legends and stories about Wulian Mountain since he was a child, and many people use those terrifying stories of Wulian Mountain to scare disobedient children, as if all the demons and monsters in Wulian Mountain live in Wulian Mountain.

In fact, the little bell asked Wulian Mountain, also because she felt that this place name was somewhat familiar, and she should know this place in the depths of her memory, so she guessed that if she really went to Wulian Mountain, even if it was near Wulian Mountain, maybe she could remember something?

Little Bell asked, "Where did Gilda and Baomeng go?" ”

Su Mu looked at the woods in the distance: "It should be towards the woods, detour from there, there are all grass and shrubs, it is difficult for us to find footprints on the grass at night, but if we don't chase in that direction, we will be lost, once we are lost, the Tiangan Road is so big, I can't find it at all." ”

Just when Su Mu got up and chased in the direction of the woods, Tang Xiaohao suddenly realized something, but continued to walk forward with his head down the path, holding the fire fold to observe the horseshoe prints and shoe prints.

Seeing that Tang Xiaohao didn't follow, Su Mu immediately returned: "Donkey, what are you looking for?" ”

Little Bell was also curious: "What's wrong with you?" ”

Tang Xiaohao looked at it for a while and said: "Gelda and Baomeng are indeed dismounted, but they should just dismount, and then let the war horse walk slowly in front of them alone, they follow, and behind them are the group of monsters, that is, those zombies." ”

Little Bell wondered, "How do you know?" ”

Su Mu understood what Tang Xiaohao meant: "You mean, Childa deliberately made us think that they abandoned their horses and walked, but in fact they still moved forward along this road, because the shoe prints stepped on by the group of zombies following behind them could cover up the shoe prints of Childa and Bao Meng?" ”

"That's right, if we just look at the length, width and depth of the horseshoe prints, we will be misled," Tang Xiaohao pointed to the marks on the ground, "Don't forget, the people in the Tors Department all grew up on horseback, and they are all experts in this area, so they must know that we will check the horseshoe prints, so they play a hand of intersecting the virtual and the real." ”

After Su Mu observed for a while, he really found the cowhide boot shoe prints rubbed in the messy footprints, the soles of the cowhide boots were very special, and only Bao Meng would wear them in the entire Rouyuan Palace.

Soon, the three of them found the shoe prints of Childa and Baomeng again in the messy footprints left by the zombies in front of them, which verified Tang Xiaohao's speculation.

Tang Xiaohao turned over and got on his horse: "The sun is almost up, after sunrise, they will hide, and it will be difficult to find it then." ”

The three of them slapped their horses and blended into the night to continue the chase.

——

Gilda is indeed playing a hand of intersecting reality and fiction. Childa deliberately dismounted with Bao Meng, leading the horse on foot, allowing the five alien corpses following behind to trample on the footprints left by the two. Normally, the most important thing for a chaser is the horseshoe print, and when they notice the change in the horseshoe print, they will mistakenly think that they have not taken the trail.

Although Childa also planned to use the alien corpse to create chaos, she was stopped by Baomeng.

Creating chaos, naturally more innocent people will die because of this, Bao Meng remembered that Sang Luo taught her before: the world, heavy things, not to harm their lives, and it is not a matter of things.

I remember what Sang Luo taught, and naturally I also remember Sang Luo. Although Bao Meng is very sad, she also knows that it is indeed impossible for her and Sang Luo, everyone's first love is the most unforgettable, and it is extremely difficult to completely give up the emotion brought by the first love. Therefore, Baomeng chooses to stay away and let distance and time fade everything.

Deeply love someone, look forward to the autumn water, never regret the gradual widening of his belt, and make people haggard for him, but this emotion cannot be fulfilled because of the insurmountable gap. The four words of children's love are more than begging, as the so-called "Yingying is in the water, and the pulse is silent".

However, there are eight words after asking for it - giving it up and not being able to do it, and not hesitating to get it.

"Princess, now you can get on the horse." Thirda paused and looked up at the east, "It's almost dawn, we have to get to the predetermined location, rest there for a short time, change clothes and move on." ”

Bao Meng didn't hear what Kinda was saying at all, and still walked slowly forward stupidly.

Childa stepped forward and said, "Princess, are you alright?" ”

Bao Meng came back to his senses and shook his head weakly: "It's okay." ”

Bao Meng is still trapped in that period of bad fate with Sangluo, the beauty of the past and the cruelty of the present are intertwined, forming a labyrinth, and the only person trapped in this labyrinth is Bao Meng.

After Gilda repeated his previous words, Bao Meng understood what he meant, and the two of them rode forward.

After arriving at the village ahead, Gilda asked Bao Meng to move slowly first, and went to the village to find water under his own pretext.

After entering the village, Gelda immediately ordered the five alien corpses to attack the innocent people who were still asleep, and gave up control of the five alien corpses to cause chaos, while he and Bao Meng gave up their horses and really entered the distant woods, where they waited to observe.

Although Bao Meng ordered Chilla not to hurt innocent people, Chilla knew that if he didn't cause chaos, he couldn't distract his pursuers, which would greatly reduce their chances of escaping.

Fleeing is also a battle, and fighting does not allow mercy.

After Gelda gave up control of the five alien corpses and let the monsters wreak havoc in the village, she went to the well to fill the water bags she was carrying, and the screams and screams of the villagers could be heard all over the village. You know, once those alien corpses are out of control, they will kill people when they meet them, until they are finally killed.

Gilda chased after Baomeng with water, and hid in the woods not far from the trail with Baomeng.

Bao Meng was puzzled: "Why are we hiding here?" ”

Gilda stared at the trail: "You can't always let people chase and run, it's too passive. ”

In fact, Childa wanted to see the number of pursuers, if there were few pursuers, the pursuers would not estimate the lives of the people in the village, and would keep chasing them, so he and Bao Meng could slowly advance from the woods, avoiding the pursuit, and by the time the other party noticed that something was wrong, they were gone.

On the contrary, if there are many pursuers, if they do not stay to help the villagers, it means that this group of people will not compromise their means and will recover Baomeng regardless of casualties. In other words, the attitude of the emperor himself can also be seen.

After all, before leaving, the commander said to Gilda that once the Rouyuan Palace was attacked and the princess was successfully rescued, the court would throw a rat into the trap.

Čerda was not as clever as those strategists, but he also knew that the person who handed over the dragon and the low-level armor to him must be a member of the imperial court, and the imperial court would also notice it, and naturally they would be suspicious of each other, and their suspicion would buy time for their own escape and the Torth Department to resolve internal contradictions.

The Lords and Factions to which Childa belonged did not want to fight against the imperial court, but in order to avoid large-scale wars, small sacrifices had to be made.
