Chapter 16: Another cold sweat
Time passed little by little, and Bai Canghai curled up in the corner of the ruined temple and gradually fell asleep.
It's not that he's nervous, it's not that he's sure that the man in black won't come again, it's that he really can't support it.
The little beggar's body was so weak that although he had eaten some bread and water, it would take some time for him to recover.
Coupled with this night's tossing, his body has already been overdrawn, and if he continues to follow Mo Datong and them to flee for his life, I am afraid that he will soon be exhausted to death.
Mo Datong can carry the little county lord on his back, but he won't carry him at all, if it slows down because of Bai Canghai, Mo Datong will definitely solve his burden without hesitation.
Therefore, returning to the broken temple to rest is Bai Canghai's helpless move.
But if he had some strength, he wouldn't take such a risk.
Bai Canghai fell asleep, but in Mo Datong's eyes, it was another feeling.
In Mo Datong's view, Bai Canghai is a super confident performance, with a temperament that is not shocked and stable like a mountain.
This made Mo Datong secretly admire at the same time, but also guessed the real arrival of Bai Canghai.
Mo Datong didn't believe that a homeless boy from a mountain village could have this kind of resourcefulness and determination.
I have to admit that compared to Bai Canghai's performance tonight, Mo Datong himself is a lot inferior.
Mo Datong faintly felt that Bai Canghai must have secrets that he didn't know, and behind him, there might be a hidden master in the world.
Or is this kid from an extraordinary background, and he is a descendant of a cultivator immortal, and he ended up in the world for some reason?
The more Mo Datong thought about it, the more frightened he became, if that was the case, wouldn't he almost cause a big disaster? If he offended the people behind Bai Canghai because of this, wouldn't he be unable to eat and walk around?
I have to say that Mo Datong's imagination is really rich, maybe he has heard a lot of legends about immortal cultivators, so he has such an idea.
Moreover, Bai Canghai is indeed full of suspicions, his resourcefulness does not match his age, and he has spiritual powers, so people can't help but guess.
At this moment, when Mo Datong looked at Bai Canghai again, he no longer had the same hurry as before, but instead got up a little bit of friendship, hoping to get along with him amicably.
Mo Datong wanted to wake up Bai Canghai and chat with him a few more words, to see if he could confirm his guess from his words.
But Bai Canghai slept sweetly at this time, and Mo Datong wanted to speak several times, but he couldn't bear it helplessly.
In this way, time passed quickly, and seeing that the sky outside the temple was gradually brightening, the night finally passed.
Mo Datong stood up and moved his muscles, but at this moment, a rapid sound of horses' hooves suddenly came.
As an innate martial artist, Mo Datong's hearing is twice that of ordinary people, and it can be inferred from the sound of horses' hooves that almost all of the people who come are divine fast horses.
Mo Datong crawled at the gate of the temple and peeked in, only to see that in the small forest outside the temple gate, about fifty or sixty fast horses suddenly galloped out.
The current person in brocade clothes and white eyebrows is the white eyebrow manager
Next to him was a veteran in armor, who Mo Datong also recognized, it was Yue Zhongmou, the commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division of Nanyan Wangcheng.
It is said that last night, the head of Baimei turned back to chase Mo Datong, but chased out more than ten miles, but he did not find any trace of Mo Datong and the little county lord at all.
The head of Baimei faintly felt that something was wrong, and he might be chasing in the wrong direction, but at this moment, Yue Zhongmou, the commander of the Soldiers and Horses Division, brought someone to answer.
The two pairs of men and horses joined forces, and it was immediately confirmed that Mo Datong did not pass by this road.
So the white eyebrow manager borrowed the fast horse of the Terracotta Division, and then he killed it again.
As for Steward Su Zhongsu, because his injuries were too serious, he was left behind by the head of Baimei and brought back to Nanyan Wangcheng by the people of the Soldiers and Horses.
In order to capture Mo Datong and the little county lord as soon as possible, Yue Zhongmou volunteered and brought more than a dozen elite subordinates, and also came with the head of Baimei.
More than sixty horsemen galloped back, and after passing through the grove, the white-eyed steward suddenly reined in the reins of his horse, looked back at the grove and narrowed his eyes.
For him, it was the grove in front of him that misled him, which allowed Mo Datong and the little county lord to escape.
pretended to be smart, and thought that he had seen through Mo Datong's plan to go the other way.
Now it seems that Mo Datong is not so smart at all, but he was mistaken by being smart.
As a warning to himself, the White Eyebrow Administrator suddenly ordered his men to set the grove behind him on fire.
Seeing all this in his eyes, although Yue Zhongmou didn't know why, he didn't say anything to stop it, but waited for all of Bai Mei's subordinates to return, and then followed Bai Mei's side to ride forward.
Outside the ruined temple, the head of Bai Mei glanced at the two roads outside the temple, and after discussing with Yue Zhong's strategy, he led a team of men and horses and chased them separately.
The head of Bai Mei took the road to the east, although he had already made arrangements on this road, he was still worried that Mo Datong would escape quietly from this road.
After all, Mo Datong is a congenital master, even with a small county lord, he can sneak quietly away from people's eyes and ears.
The head of Bai Mei didn't know about the existence of Bai Canghai, if he knew that Mo Datong still had such a burden, I am afraid that he would make another arrangement.
In fact, it's no wonder that Steward Su, he didn't take Bai Canghai as a matter at all, and he didn't think that Mo Datong would escape with him, so he ignored Bai Canghai and didn't explain it to Bai Mei in detail.
Seeing the two people whip away.
Mo Datong, who was hiding in the ruined temple, sighed.
Suddenly I felt cold all over my body, and it turned out to be a cold sweat again.
Although he had known Bai Canghai's plan for a long time, and he had already prepared to deal with it in his heart, when Bai Mei Manager really rode his horse, Mo Datong was still inevitably nervous.
Especially just now, outside the broken temple, he listened to the conversation between the head of Baimei and Yue Zhongmou.
He was less than ten meters away from them, and if the white-eyed chief sent someone to enter the broken temple to search, he and the little county lord would have nothing to hide.
Thankfully, the kind of thing that Mo Datong feared didn't happen.
After discussing the countermeasures with Yue Zhongmou, the head of Bai Mei rode away without any stop.
From beginning to end, they didn't look at this ruined temple.
Thinking of this, Mo Datong's heart became inexplicably excited, he didn't expect that he could escape under the nose of the white eyebrow manager, this feeling made him feel very comfortable, and secretly said that if the white eyebrow manager knew about it, I don't know if he would be so angry that he would vomit blood......
The sound of horses' hooves gradually faded away, and the little county lord and Bai Canghai slowly woke up.
Mo Datong was speechless for a moment, the little county lord was ordered to sleep by himself, but Bai Canghai, this kid, had just woken up, didn't he hear the sound of horses' hooves outside?
This is too much to take the white-eyed manager seriously.
Mo Datong just wanted to say a few words to him, but he heard the little county lord suddenly ask, "Where is Steward Su?"
She didn't know what happened last night, so the first time she woke up, she asked the doubts in her heart.
Bai Canghai was sleepy-eyed and didn't answer her question, but in the end, Mo Datong opened his mouth and gave a general idea of what happened last night.
At first glance, when he heard that it was Steward Su who betrayed him, the little county lord was a little difficult to accept for a while, and his eyes unconsciously showed a hint of hesitation when he looked at Mo Datong, obviously not completely believing his words.
But now that Steward Su is gone, the little county lord has no way to verify it in person, so he can only look at Bai Canghai next to him.
Bai Canghai understood her thoughts, knew that she had already preconceived to believe in Steward Su, and she was afraid that she would not be able to change for a while, so she also said: "You are really fateful, if you hadn't met us, you would have been sold by that Steward Su." ”
"You ......" Bai Canghai's words, although what he said were true, but listening to the ears of the little county lord was very harsh, from childhood to adulthood, no one dared to speak so unceremoniously to himself.
"What? You still don't believe it?" Bai Canghai continued: "A little hairy child like you who is not worldly has been sold, I'm afraid you are still happy to count the money for others!"
"Phew. The little county lord was angry, pointed at Bai Canghai and said: "What a stinky boy with no conscience, you are the little hairy child, you were sold and you still helped the money......"
The little county lord scolded, but after repeating Bai Canghai's words, he suddenly laughed again, and quickly Bai Canghai's words were very interesting, 'If you are sold, you will help you count the money', this is the first time she has heard of this kind of interesting words.
After laughing, the little county lord glared at Bai Canghai again, and then turned his head to look at Mo Datong and said, "Guard Mo, what should we do next?"
Mo Datong pondered: "Before the county lord and the prince separated, did the prince have any arrangements?"
The little county lord said: "Father asked Su Zhong to escort me to Zhongnan Mountain to find Master Zhengyi of Nanshan Temple for shelter." ”
"......" Mo Datong groaned slightly, and was about to speak, but he heard Bai Canghai say: "No, Steward Su is not dead, and he will inevitably inform the Baimei manager of the news that you are going to Zhongnan Mountain, and we are afraid that going to Zhongnan Mountain at this time will be tantamount to throwing ourselves into the net." In my opinion, it is better for us to find another place, find a hidden place to hide for a while, and when the situation calms down, it is not too late to go to Zhongnan Mountain......"
"Hmph, I want you to be nosy!" The little county lord glared at Bai Canghai, then turned back to Mo Datong and said, "But I still want to rush to Zhongnan Mountain as soon as possible." ”
"You are so unreasonable, have you ever thought about our safety like this?" Bai Canghai glared at her and threatened her: "Aren't you afraid of being caught by them?" I think after they catch you, in order to get that spirit bead, they will inevitably break your body and take out the bead from your body......
Bai Canghai said as he gestured with his hand, which suddenly startled the little county lord.
Mo Datong's face turned cold, and he drew his sword against Bai Canghai's chest.
"Guard Mo, what are you doing?" Mo Datong's actions startled Ye Bai Canghai, and immediately explained: "I'm just scaring her, just joking, why should you take it seriously?"
