Chapter 19: The Pursuit

One

Wang Yi lay on the top of the cliff and waited for the dawn to come, but it was the snowflakes that flew in the early morning, and the gray clouds showed a pale light, and the whole mountain, the whole sky, and the whole ground were shrouded in a pale snow, and Wang Yi's mood when he saw those was also gradually depressed.

He's a man again, just like he was before, and maybe he will be like that in the future. Just where he came, that is, somewhere in Laoyaling, there will be the corpses of Ding Erlao and Hu Liansangang, and not now, there will also be Sun Fuzi who is about to become a corpse will also lie next to them, and the only remaining young man among the ten young people who came from Jiangzhou Prefecture will be next to him, waiting to collect their bodies, that is, the last one to heal the three ghosts of the evil mountain.

The things they had to do were done, and it was impossible for them to help Wang Yi anymore, and when these things became true, Master Sun sent Wang Yi away without any regret. He didn't even have the slightest nostalgia and resentment when he was dying, and Master Sun said calmly, like now, falling under the knife, dying on the nameless mountain and then disappearing into the dust, may be the most suitable way for the three brothers to die.

Therefore, Wang Yi is a person, just like when he was sold to Nanban, in the days to come, or one day after today, he will die under the knife like Sun Fuzi and Hu Lian Sangang until he turns into dust, and at that time will he close his eyes without complaint like Sun Fuzi?

Wang Yi held his breath, his whole body was almost covered by the heavy snow, but he deliberately buried his body deeper, and at this time, the target appeared, which was to leave the remnants of the old Yaling Tianfu Village.

On the third day after leaving the old cliff ridge, they spent the night in a small village on the north side of the cliff last night, and then they hurried again in the early morning, the direction at the beginning was facing south, and they had been moving south for the first two days, and then today they passed through the south gate of this village, which is the bottom of this cliff, so their destination must be in the south, and Wang Yi wanted to take revenge before they reached their destination.

Wang Yi slowly got up and slowly approached them, from walking a few small dots in the snow at the beginning to now he can gradually see the appearance of people, the blizzard is still beneficial to him, if it is not in this blizzard, it should be difficult to get close to them. There are two masters among them, and even if they are lucky enough to kill one, they can't help but have one left.

Not to mention how to deal with the enemy, the blizzard also brought a huge difficulty to Wang Yi, which was not conducive to the use of his main weapon. It is difficult to accurately aim the target with a bow and arrow in a snowstorm, and the snow is not conducive to pursuit, nor is it conducive to lurking, although it is convenient for stealth, but at the same time it also covers the target. Fortunately, his target was a dozen men plus a few horses, and there were a lot of possessions on horseback, otherwise it would have been difficult to pursue.

Sleeping has also become a big problem, in order not to let the other party find their traces, the remnants of Tianfu Village only choose to take the path, but after all, they can rest in the farmhouse, but Wang Yi can only lie in the snow, although he wears a lot of fur sweaters, but the cold air coming in from the sleeves is irresistible, if he doesn't change his clothes at this time, he doesn't bake a fire to keep warm, he will die in this barren mountain and wilderness.

So the most important thing is time, you need to eliminate the target in the fastest time and rescue your sister. Wang Yi didn't know where they were going, so he didn't know when they would arrive at their destination and enter the Tianji Village of the main army, so...

He slowly pulled up the bowstring, the ice chips frozen on the string began to shatter, and there was a screeching sound, the first target was the person standing closest to the horse, if it wasn't for this blizzard, it was very likely that the owner of the village and the leader level would ride on the horse, if this was the case, his things would be easier, but in this kind of blizzard, there was definitely no fool who rode a horse and quietly enjoyed the snow. Therefore, it is very likely that the owner of the village and the leader level are as close as possible to the horse, in this kind of barren mountains and mountains, only the horse is the best haven, and the person with the right will not be humble to the slightest benefit, which is also what Wang Yi learned in Nanban.

Wang Yi took a deep breath repeatedly, but quickly retracted the string that he was about to pull just now, it seemed that he was still a little worried about the wind blowing from northwest to southeast, and he couldn't accurately calculate the movement of the arrow in the wind, if he wanted to minimize the impact of the wind, then he had to launch it at close range, but now it was the closest range. It seemed that he had to wait until the wind direction changed, and he lay there for a while, lurking at the bottom of the cliff where the remnants were passing by, that is, when he could see their backs, Wang Yi got up again and pulled the bowstring, and it was much better to follow the tailwind than the crosswind.

The bow and arrow had already left his hand, and at the same time a man fell, and Wang Yi continued to fire a second arrow, but this time no one fell, but after this arrow was shot, a horse fell, and it was good that the enemy would be very painful without horseback baggage.

The third arrow was not easy to aim at the beginning, because the target began to run around, in order to avoid the sudden arrow, Wang Yi chose a more calm person, and then pulled the string. This kind of character should be at the boss level, because they can't appear to be afraid of death like a creep.

He did it right, there was a man who was shot by a third arrow and fell, and the fourth also shot at a calm man, but he didn't hit, because the target threw the flying arrow out with a weapon, and it seemed that it was indeed an unusual person, and then there was a loud command that could not be heard, and the man who had just blocked the arrow was brandishing his weapon and directing the soldiers.

Wang Yi took aim and shot the fourth arrow and then quickly moved behind the cliff, because the remaining targets were already squatting there in a circular formation centered on the horse, and it was useless to shoot out in that case, and in the face of the next counterattack, they had to defend first.

The road has been explored very clearly, according to the road found in advance, down the mountain, and then across the stones to run south, these two days have not had enough rest, plus has been rolling in the snow, and it is in a state of extreme tension for a long time, so the current Wang Yi is exhausted. However, he couldn't slow down, and the previous fourth arrow had already exposed Wang Yi's position, so he had to move to a safe place as soon as possible and continue to prepare for a counterattack.

There are strange rocks and strange rocks under the cliff, and you can see a long sorghum field covered by snow when you turn over these, and Wang Yi ran into the sorghum field and began to crawl forward, starting from the top of the cliff where he first set off to the west, then running south, and now climbing up in the northeast direction, which is equivalent to drawing a circle from the top of the cliff as the starting station, in other words, his end point is his starting point.

Wang Yi lay there panting, trying to adjust his breathing and looked forward, and saw several black figures in the blizzard, and the remnants of Tianfu Village were still in a circular formation in place.

This reaction shattered Wang Yi's prediction, thinking that they would chase Wang Yi to the cliff, and then follow his trail into the strange rock and strange rock group, and fall into the trap he had made before. Last night Wang Yi dug all night to make traps, but they did not follow, so all his plans were in vain.

Wang Yi frowned and thought about it, their reaction was probably because they were worried that Wang Yi still had the light pole steel shuttle he had seen in Tianfu Village a few days ago, so they didn't dare to approach easily even if they were attacked.

Wang Yi laughed, although he lived up to his expectations, but there was nothing he could do, in fact, there were only fifty rounds of the bare rod steel shuttle, and it had already been used up in the last duel.

He pulled the strings again, and since the target thought so, he acted according to their ideas, at least now he had regained the opportunity to shoot arrows. Now they should be thinking that Wang Yi might be waiting for them to come up with a barrel of a bare rod steel shuttle on the top of the cliff, so they will let their guard down now.

The remnants of Tianfu Village moved in a circular formation, and the formation they created was surrounded by eight small soldiers with bows and arrows, and inside the formation were four people with weapons and the horses they were leading.

The moment Wang Yi aimed at the person holding the weapon, he stopped moving, and as they got closer and closer, he saw the shadow of his sister, the only person who did not hold the weapon, pushed by another person, taking a difficult step

'Not now!'

Wang Yi gritted his teeth again and slowly pulled the string, held his breath, carefully moved the arrow to find the target, and suddenly the person who thought it was his sister disappeared. It seemed that he had fallen into the snow, and at this moment the man standing behind him was completely exposed, and at this moment, Wang Yi released the arrow.

Two

Because Jiang Tie caught Wang Yi's weakness at the last moment, Lin Li Ying let Jiang Zhe spy on Wang Ling last time, which was a reward for him, at least it was much better with other Xiaobin who held bows and arrows and used as human shields at critical moments. But when it comes to being in charge of Wang Ling, it is not as easy as imagined.

It has been snowing for three days in a row, which makes it very difficult to walk, and depending on the terrain, sometimes there is waist-high snow, and it is even more difficult for Wang Ling, who has her hands trapped.

'If you untie your hands...'

Jiang Tie is not completely without compassion for Wang Ling, and it is not just because of sympathy. It's because she has to be helped up after every fall, which is actually not easy for Jiang Tie.

It's better to carry it on your back. ’

Before he could finish thinking about Wang Ling falling into the snowdrift again, Jiang Tie complained in his heart and was about to help her up, but suddenly he felt a huge pain in his shoulder, and then before he realized what was happening, he had already subconsciously taken a few steps back. Jiang Tie's hand unconsciously touched his shoulder, and then he found that a stick had pierced his shoulder, and he also knew through the severe pain that this stick was actually a bow and arrow.

"Ahh

If it wasn't for helping Wang Ling, then it must have been the heart that was shot through, because of the severe pain, he gradually lost consciousness He finally saw a person in front of him holding his neck and falling down, and there was another person, in fact, it was the Heavenly King Sword Cai Yan waved his hand to shoot the flying bow and arrow, this was also the last scene Jiang Tie saw, and then he buried his head in the snowdrift and fainted.

"There are enemies. ”

But his warning came too late, even if it was not so loud, everyone knew that the owner of the archery was Wang Yi, although Cai Yan wanted to use this as a signal to launch a counterattack, but it was too late, after two attacks killed four people (in Cai Yan's eyes, Jiang Tie was also dead), ran a horse, and another horse was injured and fell there.

"Damn it!"

Their group has been reduced to nine, and one of them is a useless hostage, taking hostages and getting the ransom is a large part of Green Forest's income, so they also have a lot of experience. According to their experience, if the family has no intention of redeeming themselves, then such hostages are of little value. Just like Wang Ling's family now, regardless of the life or death of the hostage, when he is bent on revenge, this kind of hostage has become a burden, but the reason why the hostage cannot be discarded is because at the last moment it may only be possible to rely on the hostage, so this worthless hostage has to be brought with him.

"Damn it!"

Cai Yan began to mumble again, there are fewer people, but there is no shortage of luggage at all, not to mention that there are fewer horses now. Although one horse escaped with its luggage, the problem is that another horse fell straight there. They still have to take this batch of luggage, of course, these are all treasures taken from Tianfu Village, maybe it is better to throw these away, but his brother-in-law, Li Ying, the owner of the village, cannot be this kind of person

"Divide it!"

He also saw the minions with dissatisfaction on their faces.

"Looks like something is going to happen!"

It really happened that night, and three people tried to escape overnight, but Cai Yan had already expected this situation, and he held up the mobile phone of the soldier who planned to escape, as a warning to the other soldiers.

"If anyone betrays me at this point...!"

He was not only facing the two creeps kneeling on the ground, but also to the other creeps, and there was no more terrible warning than the bright red blood dripping on the white snow.

"Will it become like this, will anyone still want to run away? Just say it and solve it on the spot!"

No one dared to come out, but this didn't mean that they didn't want to escape, and when Cai Yan, Li Ying and others relaxed their vigilance, including Ma Luoji, they still fled with their belongings.

Now there are only five of them left, Li Ying and Cai Yan, Wang Ling and two small soldiers, it seems that it is the time of the decisive battle, they need to reduce this luggage, mainly the belongings to half, and then travel lightly, find a place to rest and wait for the snow to stop. Depending on the situation, you can't count on the little soldiers, you can only wait for Cai Yan and Li Ying to recover. The weapon that Wang Yi is good at is a bow and arrow, which is indeed a mistake in Cai Yan's prediction, but as long as the snow stops, they will not be afraid of anything.

But things are not so easy, Li Ying, who once commanded more than 300 subordinates and broke into the mansion of the capital master, is now reduced to the miserable situation of only three people around him, but his natural greed will not be easily changed, he would rather die than discard those treasures, and in the end they chose to reduce food as much as possible, and then the remaining gold and silver treasures were divided on their backs, of course, Cai Yan was also included, because Li Ying, who was unable to move, was carrying his luggage.

In this way, they set out on the road again, although they especially wanted to return to the village where they rested yesterday, but when they came out, they left so many corpses at the door, so even the most idle officials would be suspicious of their whereabouts, so they could only find other villages.

Villages are not easy to find, perhaps because you missed a few villages, because walking in the blizzard, it is difficult to even tell the way forward, although the houses are even more difficult to find. The luggage on their backs was heavy on their shoulders, and the snow was already piled up to their knees, and in this case it was not easy to walk even ten miles in the next hour, so it was already evening, but they could not stop, and if they rested in the snow, all the people would freeze to death, so they were desperate to see the lights soon.

But Wang Yi suffered more, he had been chasing them for three days without closing his eyes, in order not to let go of the enemy, he could not rest, now the cold wind and biting weather were no longer much of a threat, and at this moment exhaustion and hunger were the biggest enemies to destroy Wang Yi.

If you don't do it that way, you'll die. ’

This is not the first time that this kind of thought has occurred, since two or three hours ago, his hands and feet have begun to be paralyzed, his joints have become stiff, his spirit has become blurred, and his back is damp, but he can't stop, as long as he stops, his soaked back will freeze instantly, and once Wang Yi will be in danger.

It's been a while since he lost his target, and he doesn't know if Li Ying is in front or behind, and he doesn't know when Wang Yi overtook them, or if he was taking the completely opposite path, he couldn't judge at all. It was dark on the snow-covered earth, and he couldn't tell the difference between heaven and earth, but he kept walking, and there was only one thought in his mind.

'If you just stop, you'll die'

Suddenly, stars appeared in his eyes.

'Has the snow stopped?'

However, the snow was still falling, and Wang Yi shook his head and sobered up to find that the stars he thought were lights shining from afar, and the lights were particularly bright through the raging snow.

Wang Yi regained his strength, his hands and feet were completely frozen, and the moment he saw the light, he felt that it had melted, he ran forward desperately, and wanted to shout for help, but he couldn't open his mouth, and he didn't care what the light was, and he only had the light in his eyes, and when he felt the heat, he realized that he had actually reached into the flames with his bare hands.

He withdrew his hand from the fire and began to move his fingers, and after dissolving his frozen fingers, he began to look around.

It is the Yuewang Temple that has fallen a wall after decay, the bonfire in the middle is burning, and there are several people sitting around the fire, they are watching the person who runs to the bonfire to roast his hands regardless of front and back, among them is an old man, two elders, and a young man, a total of four people, except for the young people, the other three people are very ordinary, it seems that these are three subordinates serving the son of a rich family.

"Yes, I'm sorry!"

His mouth froze, and he couldn't speak clearly, not to mention that he knew that he was just apologizing perfunctorily, and if he saw the owner of the fire, he should at least make a show and quit, but he didn't do it, but squeezed into an impermeable corner, not only could not choke on the smoke, but there was also hay on the ground, so the cold would not come up.

"So rude!"

The old man couldn't help but say, the two elders were also staring at Wang Yi with unhappy eyes, this temple itself is very narrow, plus dry firewood is also limited, in this case, Wang Yi is close to the fire, although the other people are not sitting in enough places.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry. ”

Wang Yi hurriedly apologized, but did not give up his position, and at this time, the expressions of the two elders also changed, the young man had been looking at him expressionlessly, and the old man showed an incomprehensible smile, but his expression quickly became serious and said Wang Yi.

"Isn't it almost giving up your place to your master? besides, the best place for you to sit now, let me sit in the corner!"

"I'm sorry!"

But Wang Yi still didn't let it out, he clenched his fist and moved his wrist, concentrating on warming his body.

At this time, one of the elders slowly got up and held the head of the group hard, this posture was about to grab Wang Yi's neck, and at this time the young man said as he stepped back.

"Ma Laosan, I'm almost there. ”

The man who was called Ma Laosan looked at the young man in confusion.

"Childe, that's..."

He didn't continue, at this time the old man grabbed his trouser legs, as if to pass on the signal, but the main reason was because Wang Yi suddenly got up and walked to the fallen wall of the temple, and picked up the bow and arrow in his hand.

Ma Laosan seemed to understand, and the old man also nodded, they could see that Wang Yi was fighting with the enemy, so he needed to open his fingers.

"It's a cheeky guy!"

Although he was scolding Wang Yi on his lips, he didn't want to sell Yuan Wang Yi very much, and it was not difficult to see that Wang Yi was disregarding his face in order to survive. Now his attention turned to the people coming from the other side of the temple.

Although it was the middle of the night when the wind and snow were raging at the moment, Ma Laosan could clearly see the faces of these uninvited guests, and of course he also saw that one of them was shot by Wang Yi's arrow and fell, and Cai Yan was injured.
