Chapter 71: The sound of horses' hooves
After running out in the middle of the night, I breathed the breath outside, and I couldn't help but have some joy in my heart. In this bloody and cruel training camp, it has been suppressed for too long, it is better to be outside, free and easy!
Then, he sensed that something was wrong—to the left and right, there was a muffled thunderous sound in the distance, sounding like something heavy, moving rapidly forward.
He was no stranger to this kind of voice. It was the sound of horses' hooves when the cavalry galloped!
If he guessed correctly, it was Hu Kuan who knew the general situation here and sent cavalry to outflank him on both flanks and block his way. Midnight can only rush forward as quickly as possible, to see if he can escape or kill before the Imperial Army is encircled.
Beyond the city of the training camp are the mountains and trees. Without hesitation, Midnight went into the woods. There's no better place to stay out of sight than these ready-made woods.
After running for a while, Midnight heard the sound of horses' hooves coming from the front, and someone shouted: "Don't go deserters!"
The sound of horses' hooves was quite urgent, and the number of people sounded like dozens of people, most of them light cavalry, rushing from the front. There were sentry posts around the training camp, and it seemed that Hu Kuan had mobilized the rangers from the periphery to surround him.
Hu Kuan didn't necessarily know that the person who was running here was Ling Ye, but he definitely understood that what happened here today must not be spread out, and it was worth the effort to do so. Ling Ye just wanted to get out safely now, and had no intention of fighting with these dozens of rangers, so he changed directions, burrowed into the trees, and staggered past them.
The sound of horses' hooves became more and more frequent, and gradually the sound of horses' hooves could be heard from all directions. In order to encircle him, Hu Kuan really worked hard!
As he spoke, another group of rangers rushed towards him and shouted, "Deserter, don't want to run!"
Through the shelter of the trees, this group of rangers actually didn't see Ling Ye, but just shouted loudly there, but the distance was not far, and they could catch up quickly. Ling Ye looked left and right, and saw that there were several dense shrubs beside him, of course, more trees.
Where better is it to avoid the other party's search?
Without thinking, Ling Ye jumped directly onto a tree and climbed between the branches and leaves to hide his figure.
No sooner had he taken up his hiding than the squad of rangers rushed over, and when they saw several dense bushes nearby, they cried out and stabbed their spears through the bushes. If Ling Ye had hid in the bushes just now, he would have been shot at this moment.
The Rangers stabbed through the bushes, but found no sign of Midnight. The leader of the squad stood under a tree on horseback, completely unexpectedly that as long as he looked up, he could see Ling Ye's legs. When he saw that the search was fruitless, he waved his hand and shouted, "Let's go!"
It's no wonder that the squad leader. Mountains stretch endlessly, and forests are everywhere, if not tens of thousands, but thousands. If you look up at each tree, you won't be able to see it the next day.
It's not that he thinks so, almost none of the pursuers think so. There are so many trees, who will see them?
When the group of rangers was far away, Ling Ye exhaled softly, slipped down the tree, and continued his walk.
As long as the other party does not arrange heavy troops into a wall day and night to intercept them wholeheartedly, they can pass through in the middle of the night!
At this moment, an extremely loud bell rang from the direction of the training camp behind him, followed by another one.
After a total of three sounds, a sharp voice came from afar: "Ling-night! If you don't obediently tie your hands and arrest you, kill your whole team! Kill the whole team!! the whole team !!!"

Not so long ago......
In the training camp, Hu Kuan rode a horse and stood on the high platform of the school field, looking down at the stage with a smile. One after another, the soldiers carried the corpses of the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Army and came to report: "Report! I found the fleeing enemy soldiers, and they have been killed on the spot! Zhao Lao Er was killed in the line of duty, and Fang Lao Si was wounded!"
"Report! Find the unknown enemy who has fled, a fierce battle ensues, kill the enemy, and two members of this team are killed!"
"Report ......"
Hu Kuan waved his hands with a smile and said kindly: "Let's put it all over there! If you kill the enemy's squad, the whole team will be rewarded with 20 taels of silver, the deceased will be given 10 taels, and the wounded will be rewarded with 1 tael of medicine! Everyone do a good job, I will not treat everyone badly!"
After another series of reports, a fast horse galloped up and reported loudly: "Report! Someone has escaped at the south gate! It looks like a soldier of the Wolf Guard!"
Hu Kuan waved his hand and said casually: "A deserter? Hey, whoever it is, just kill it!"
The man shouted, "Yes! However, the man was so powerful that he had killed several of his brothers and had already escaped!"
Hu Kuan suddenly froze: "Oh?
He seemed to think of something all of a sudden, and his eyes narrowed: "Midnight?"
The man shouted, "Yes! I heard someone call him by his name!"
"Who?"
"Instructor Que!"
Hu Kuan immediately shouted: "Call him over!"
The man received the order, and as soon as he turned around, Hu Kuan shouted again: "Wait! Don't call him here, lead the way! I'll go over!"
As he rode down the stage, he gave the order: "All the cavalry shall immediately set out and outflank the pursuit from the south gate in two ways! Immediately release the carrier pigeons! Order all the people on the periphery to act at once, seal all the roads, and the rangers shall immediately go into the woods to search." As soon as you find it, set off fireworks immediately!"
At this time, Que De had already asked everyone to go back and stay in the house and not come out, while he himself mounted his horse and walked slowly towards the Ghost Doctor's Iron Blood Hall.
Of course, the iron wolf was not crazy, but was controlled by Hu Kuan. These iron wolves are the stuff of the ghost doctor, how can they be at the mercy of Hu Kuan? Why didn't the ghost doctor show up?
The ghost doctor is not in the Iron Blood Hall, only some miscellaneous servants are there. Que De drank and asked them to help him with medicine, and by the way, asked the whereabouts of the ghost doctor. All the miscellaneous servants said that they didn't know, but only one of them thought for a long time, patted his head and said, "I saw him coming yesterday, and then I ...... Later, it seemed that someone invited him to drink, and he left, and then he was not seen. ”
Que De understood a little in his heart, and said: "Okay, okay, no matter who it is, just give me medicine." His mother's, this kick hurt so much! It's all swollen!"
He knew that Hu Kuan was definitely looking for him, so he deliberately wasted time and time. It wasn't until a long time later that someone ran in and reported loudly: "Instructor Que!
When he saw Que De, Hu Kuan's eyes immediately widened and he shouted, "Que De! Where did you go?"
Que De heard that Hu Kuan was roaring, and his heart relaxed a little first. Hu Kuan is very vicious, the more he smiles, the more insidious and vicious the plan in his belly becomes. If he yells loudly, he will be fine.
So, Que De pretended to be sincerely frightened, bowed his head and replied: "Please forgive the head of the sect!
