195. No last resort
After getting on their horses, they did not return to the fort, but continued to gallop towards the south. It takes less than two sticks of incense to work, and it is only a few miles away from the border of Song and Wei.
"Stop. Sima Wenzhi suddenly stopped and reminded at the same time.
"Why did the Taoist stop, a few miles to the border, if it was done by the thieves of the Song Kingdom, he must have not had time to leave, and he could catch up. Xu Bingjin also stopped the horse and stepped forward to ask.
"Sect Master Xu, who did it has not yet been decided. But no matter who it is, it should not have crossed the border at this time, and is still hiding on the side of Wei. Sima asked.
"Why?" Xu Bing asked subconsciously.
"Before leaving, I asked Lord Chang that the Wei State was heavily guarded here, and no matter how many people there were, the other party could not force it over. Sima asked to explain again.
Xu Bing understood after hearing this, and stopped talking.
"Sect Master Xu, order everyone to dismount, lead the horses and walk forward, and check if there are any chariot and horse marks on the ground. Seeing that he didn't ask anymore, Sima asked and asked.
Xu Bing respectfully agreed, and opened his mouth to order.
After the running was changed to walking, the march was much slower. Especially when moving forward, you should also look at the ground and look for the imprints of the carriage and horses.
After walking more than 100 zhang like this, more and more traces of the horse's hooves appeared in front of everyone's eyes.
"Have the adults' convoys been here before?" Sima asked when he saw this, and asked the guards who were with him.
"Returning to the Taoist chief, I have never been there. At the previous wooden box, we escorted King Anbei and Master Bu back. Hearing the question, one of the guards stepped forward to respond.
"Get on the horse, and do it again. After Sima asked, he urged again.
But after running again, until the garrison post could be seen in the distance, there was still no other horse.
Sima Wenzhi's suspicion suddenly rose, and he retracted the reins, and there were other speculations in his heart.
"Dao Chief, the place ahead is guarded by the army, do you still want to move forward?" Seeing this, Xu Bing thought that he was thinking about whether to march or not, and opened his mouth to remind.
The timing of Xu Bing's questioning was just right, and Sima Wenzhi was also thinking about how to tell the plan in his heart. Hearing the reminder, he immediately responded.
"The things that Lord Chang Shi explained have been found, without further ado, go back quickly, and don't bother with those thieves. ”
"Dao Chief...?" Xu Bingjin didn't understand what he said, and the fox asked.
"I have made up my mind, this thing is precious and abnormal, if there is a mistake, you and I will both have a serious crime, return quickly. Sima Wenzhi rode to Xu Bing's side and spoke loudly again. As he spoke, he frequently glanced at him.
"In that case, then go back, but cheapen these thieves. Xu Bingjin suddenly, while responding, he motioned for everyone to turn around.
"Did you hear what those two said?"
Not long after Sima Wenzhi and Xu Bingjin took people away, someone asked someone in a secret place more than a hundred zhang away.
Turning back to lead the question, his subordinates were worried that they would notice it, so they did not come closer. I just vaguely heard that the things that Lord Chang Shi had explained had been found. After the questioning, someone next to him responded.
"What is it?"
"I didn't say it. The man replied again.
"Tell the dead soldiers, take a shortcut and chase after them, and choose the opportunity to leave these people behind. The questioner spoke.
"No. The subordinate hurriedly responded, and before turning to leave, he couldn't help but doubt in his heart and asked.
"Chief, is there any fraud here? The palace said that the thing belonged to Tuoba Longyang, but the young man just said that he was a regular servant and confessed. ”
"If you don't want to do this errand, you can say it. The art of listening to sounds for thousands of miles may not be the only one you who has inherited. The leader warned him.
"No. The subordinate responded respectfully and left.
"Even if it's the Longtan Tiger's Den, you have to break through. After the subordinate left, the leader muttered.
When he explained, Sima asked, although his tone was hurried. But when they turned back on the road, they did not move quickly.
There are many reasons for the deliberate slowdown.
Turnaround is only a means, not an end in itself. Leave enough time for those in the shadows to move.
Moreover, at the same time as returning, Sima Wenzhi kept adjusting his spirit. It's too fast to control the tuning effort.
It wasn't until an hour had passed that everyone saw a dark shadow in the distance, the place where the wooden box had been placed haphazardly.
When I left here, I didn't see anyone around.
Walking forward again, after seeing some clearly, the way around the wooden box has been blocked by the man in black. Seeing this, the people hurriedly reined in the reins and tried to stop the horses.
Before they all stopped, the last warning came from the mounted guards, and then the sound of horses falling to the ground sounded. Seeing this, the guards tried to step forward to resist.
"Don't come forward to entangle, hurry up and protect the adults. Seeing this, Xu Bing knew that the road ahead and the way out had been cut off, so he hurriedly commanded loudly.
Even if it was urgent, he still had a mind when he commanded. Sima Wenzhi is a monk, and the other party should have a corresponding method, and he is worried that Sima Wenzhi will also become like Tuoba Longyang.
When the guards heard the order, they did not step forward in the face of the enemy's provocation. After protecting the two of them, they frequently rode their horses.
"Boss, the other party is no longer tricked. ”
More than a dozen feet away, someone rushed to the leader and informed him of the situation in the battle group.
"It's okay, let them send out the strange treasure, and then leave quickly. When the leader heard the message, he spoke.
After a few breaths, when Sima Wenzhi was thinking about how to break the game, he noticed that there was a disturbance of aura around him. He had been adjusting his spirit before, and at this moment, he directly laid down the aura barrier to cover his body.
As soon as it was covered, a sharp sword made of spiritual energy flew in from afar. After hitting the barrier, his sharpness decreased slightly, and he still flew forward.
Seeing this, Sima Wenzhi turned sharply in his body, and the aura in his veins suddenly became full, and the aura barrier became more and more tenacious.
After a few breaths, the aura of the spirit arrow gradually dissipated, like the end of a strong crossbow. Sima Wenzhi removed the barrier and took the initiative to guide the spirit arrow into his body.
"It's done. ”
At the same time, the leader who had just commanded his subordinates in the distance spoke up.
As soon as he spoke, another loud voice sounded in the dark, like a code word. The man in black who was besieging everyone heard the sound and quickly retreated into the darkness.
"Dao Chief, Sect Master Xu, the last time I was attacked, I also had such a secret sentence. One of the guards stepped forward and alerted the two.
"Get out of here. Sima Wenzhi heard the reminder, took the lead, and rode his horse in the direction of Luoyang. Before he could run a cup of tea, he suddenly stopped, and then a mouthful of blood spurted out and fell from his horse.
"Dao Chief. ”
Xu Bing didn't know what was going on, so he hurriedly reined in the reins and jumped off his horse. Then he held Sima Wenzhi in his arms and looked at it.
Fortunately, the breath is still there, not fate.
It's not good, it's like a gossamer, and I'm unconscious.
To make matters worse, after he checked, a guard warned again, and the man in black who had left before chased after him.
