Chapter 53: Danger

After luring the pursuers away in October, Gan Chengyuan and Hao Hongji escaped and were able to rest for two days, but at this time, they heard the sound of horses' hooves, and according to the preliminary judgment of the sound, there were no less than fifty horsemen!

Only two days had passed, and the pursuers had returned, and the two of them were not sure whether October had escaped from the pursuers or had been killed by the pursuers.

But no matter whether October is alive or dead, the two know that they are the ones who are more auspicious now!

"How are you?" Gan Chengyuan looked at Hao Hongji's thigh.

"I can barely stand up, but I can't fight, or I'll hold you back, you can go. Hao Hongji said that if one of the two of them could survive, it must be Gan Chengyuan, because Hao Hongji's leg injury was serious and he couldn't run far.

"Do you think I'm leaving? Among a group of people, I can talk to you the most, and I can't leave you as long as I want. Gan Chengyuan said firmly.

Hao Hongji smiled bitterly, in fact, he knew that even if he stayed to resist, he would only be hacked to death by someone, and the pursuers were on horseback, even if Gan Chengyuan ran fast, he couldn't outrun the horses, and it was very likely that he would die in the end.

And if there were those three Qi Gathering Realm cultivators among the pursuers, then they simply didn't have to resist, just wait for death.

"Brother, I'm glad to have known you in my life. Hao Hongji stood up with a branch, which was a makeshift crutch made for him by Gan Chengyuan.

"Me too. Gan Chengyuan looked at Hao Hongji and laughed, dying with his brother, he would not be too lonely on the Huangquan Road.

The only regret may be that he is the only son in the family, and there is no way to inherit the family lineage, which is a big unfilial piety, and he feels sorry for his father.

The pursuers are getting closer and closer, and the two of them look at each other, and they both see a touch of ruthlessness in the eyes of both sides, even if they die, they have to kill a few more enemies and pull a few backs.

However, when the pursuers appeared in their field of vision, they were stunned for a moment, as if it was not what they had imagined.

The other party has fifty horsemen, and the first one is Liu Chu and Sun Zhenghao, whom they are familiar with.

The two were stunned at first, and then happy, with a feeling of the rest of their lives, they knew that they had been rescued.

"Chengyuan! Hongji!" Liu Chu also found the two of them, and waved to the two excitedly, which can be regarded as finding.

"Liu Chu!" Gan Chengyuan and Hao Hongji also waved their arms at Liu Chu excitedly.

"Great, I've finally found you!" Liu Chu said with a smile.

"What about October?" Liu Chu looked left and right, but didn't find October's figure, so he asked.

Gan Chengyuan and Hao Hongji's faces changed, and they immediately told Liu Chu about the October lure away from the pursuing soldiers.

"I'm sorry, it's useless for the two of us, and it's going to be October to protect us. Gan Chengyuan and Hao Hongji clenched their fists and lowered their heads in shame.

"I don't blame you, you're all wounded, and if no one leads the pursuers, probably all three of you will die. Moreover, if she doesn't do it, she won't be October!" Liu Chu shook his head, not blaming the two of them, the top priority was to search and rescue October.

"Team Sun, please take them back, I'm going to find October. Liu Chu turned his head and said to Sun Zhenghao.

"You want to go to the October girl alone?" asked Sun Zhenghao.

Liu Chu nodded.

"If you are alone, it is too dangerous, there are at least dozens of people on the other side. In this case, I will let the general's personal soldiers escort them back, and I will go with you to find the October girl. Sun Zhenghao said after pondering for a while.

"You escort the two of them back, and tell General Luo that Liu Chu and I are going to find the October girl. Sun Zhenghao commanded to the general's personal soldiers.

Liu Chu's heart was slightly, and he secretly became a little wary of Sun Zhenghao, knowing that there might be dozens of people on the other side, and asked his own soldiers to withdraw, only he followed Liu Chu.

Shouldn't he send a team of ten people to escort Gan Chengyuan and Hao Hongji back, leaving forty people to follow Liu Chu to find someone? Or should he personally escort people back and leave a team of fifty people to Liu Chu?

"Then you should be more careful, and come back first if you can't find anyone, so as not to be discovered by the pursuers. Gan Chengyuan admonished, and at the same time frowned slightly, feeling that the arrangement seemed a little unreasonable.

Hao Hongji glanced at Sun Zhenghao quietly, and then he and Gan Chengyuan were escorted away by fifty personal soldiers.

After seeing the two leave, Liu Chu and Sun Zhenghao began to search for October in the direction pointed by Gan Chengyuan and Hao Hongji.

Liu Chu prayed in his heart, I hope October is fine, the enemy who attacked them in the official post three days ago is not weak, and there are many people, once they are targeted, they will really be more auspicious.

It's a small, abandoned village, and it looks like there were about 50 families who left for some reason.

October hid in an abandoned house, which was still intact and suitable for hiding his body, but it was also easy to be surrounded by the enemy, who were not fools, and they knew where it was best to hide.

October glanced at his left forearm, where there was a wound cut by a sharp weapon, which was already a little inflamed at the moment.

This wound was accidentally hit by an arrow when she was chased by the pursuers a day ago, but fortunately, she reacted quickly enough to dodge in time at the critical moment, and the tip of the arrow flew over her arm to not be seriously injured.

In the past two days, it has been a blessing in misfortune to be alive, and it is even more fortunate that his arm was bruised.

However, although she was not injured much, she was physically and mentally exhausted, and you must know that the pursuers were on horseback, and she was walking!

Therefore, October has been swimming in the mountains and forests, and horseback riding can only play the advantage of riding horses in the plains, and in the mountains and forests, the advantages are not so obvious.

October opened a crack in the door and looked outside, a large number of people were looking for her, and many abandoned houses had already been searched, and it was only a matter of time before she found her hiding place.

Among the pursuers who chased and killed October, there were three cultivators whose strength had reached the Qi Gathering Realm, and these three people had a resounding title in the rivers and lakes, and were known as the three brothers of Huanong, the eldest brother Jin Huanong, the second brother Yin Huanong, and the elder Tong Huanong.

The real names of the three people have long been unknown, and they use gold, silver and bronze as their surnames, which represents money, as long as there is enough money, they dare to kill anyone.

This time, they took an order, that is, to kill Liu Chu in the official post, and the remuneration was very rich, 30,000 taels of gold.

Killing 20 hairy boys who have not dried up can get 30,000 taels of gold, isn't this tantamount to giving them money?

Although the official post is an official territory, once it is not done well, it may be buried there, but how can it not take risks in doing business, the three Huanong brothers gritted their teeth and took it.

As for who the employer is, the three Huanong brothers do not know, because the employer entrusted a third party to find them.

The three Huanong brothers also know the rules, the employer doesn't want to show up, so they don't go to inquire, as long as they can get the money, if they don't give the money after the fact, then they don't mind inquiring about the employer's news, go to the door, and let him know the price of not giving money.

"Big brother, will she not be here? After all, if she is smart enough, she must know that it is not safe to hide here, and we will definitely search here. Yinhuanong said in the ear of his eldest brother Jin Huanong.

"The safest place is the most dangerous place. She would definitely think so, there was such an abandoned village within a radius of dozens of miles that she could hide, and we would definitely expect her to hide here. She'll guess, we'll speculate on what she's thinking, we'll think she's not going to hide here, because we've anticipated what she's thinking. So, she's still hiding here!" Jin Huanong said.

"Uh...... Big brother, forgive me for being a shallow learner and didn't understand the meaning of your words. Yinhuanong scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"Stupid, anyway, she'll hide here, right, don't get tired of cheating. ”

What Jin Huanong means is that the other party will also guess what he thinks in his heart, what he can think of, the other party can also think of it, and what the other party can think of, he can also think of it, which is somewhat similar to a psychological game.

But no matter what, just search this abandoned little village.

"I've basically searched them all, and only those three rooms are left. Tong Huanong pointed to three houses not far away, one of which was where October was hiding.

I searched the first house, but there was no one.

I searched the second room, but there was still no one.

Call.

October breathed a sigh of relief, not knowing whether to lament her luck or not, and it was her turn to search the house where she was hiding at the end, but in this way, the success rate of her escape was even lower, because the other party would concentrate all his forces on this room.

Sure enough, Jin Huanong made a gesture, and everyone moved closer to the room, ready to catch turtles in an urn.

"Big brother, do you think she is really hiding in this house?" Yin Huanong held the long sword in his hand, ready to launch a thunderous blow at any time.

In the official post, being run away by Liu Chu and them has already made them feel shameless, they will no longer be careless, and strive to kill with one blow!

"It should be. Jin Huanong stepped forward and knocked on the door very politely.

Knock knock.

Hearing the knock on the door, October panicked, it seemed that the other party expected that he was hiding here, so he didn't kick in the door, but knocked on the door, isn't this teasing her?

October looked around the room, and when her eyes fell on the earthen stove, her eyes suddenly lit up, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind.

"Isn't anyone home? I'm in. Jin Huanong pushed the door in, his sharp eyes scanning the whole room, but there was no trace of October.

"Search carefully. Jin Huanong frowned slightly, waved his big hand, and a group of people swarmed in.

Soon, the house was turned upside down, and there was only a dilapidated wardrobe that was even a place to hide people, and no one was hiding there.

"Are people really not there?" Tong Huanong also frowned, could it be that they were really busy in vain? People didn't hide here at all, but ran away a long time ago?

"It should be right here, there's a dark sentry we've set up outside, and if someone runs out, they'll signal it. "Jinhuanong can't figure it out, a big living person, just gone?

Suddenly, Jin Huanong's eyes fell on the earthen stove, the corners of his mouth hooked, and he walked towards the earthen stove.

However, he walked to the earthen stove, looked at it, and then looked disappointed, the earthen stove had long since collapsed, the entrance to the cave was sealed, and it was impossible to hide people.

Where the hell have people gone?

"Big brother, let's go ahead and catch up. Tong Huanong also thought that the people were no longer in the village, maybe they would have run far away, and it would be too late for them to chase after them.

"Okay, keep chasing!" Jin Huanong gave an order with a hint of unwillingness.

A group of people exited the abandoned house, and Jin Huanong was the last to leave, standing at the door for a while, looking into the house a few more times, and finally turned around and was about to leave.

Click......

There was a soft sound of earth and stones falling, and Jin Huanong, who had just turned around, condensed his eyes and turned to look at the earthen stove.

Jin Huanong laughed, it turned out that people were really hiding here!
