Chapter 55: The Chaser
Chapter 55: The Pursuit of the Soldiers
Blessings are always unparalleled, and disasters are not one-way things, as is the case in most things in the world. The current situation is worse than Murong Chen imagined, the officers and soldiers are chasing behind, and now there are unknown interceptors in front of them, and these blockers are actually very similar to the group of people who were haunted in Qingcheng Mountain before, which makes him have to worry a little.
"Brother Murong, are these people human beings or ghosts?" Nya asked with trepidation at Murong Chen, she was still very scared in her heart, especially when she saw that face full of blood and festering.
Murong Chen didn't answer him, but walked into the side of another dead assassin and tore off his mask, there was no ulceration and blood behind this mask, a young and handsome face appeared in front of him, Murong Chen "Huh" screamed in surprise, so that Nia, who was following behind with her eyes closed and didn't dare to look, opened her eyes, peeked at it, and for a while her scared mood relaxed a lot, as if a somewhat humanoid corpse was much more comfortable than the festering corpse, although the corpse made people very scared, but the heart was also a little better.
"It's weird, why is it that a corpse is terrible, how can other corpses be good people?" asked Nia very strangely as she looked at Murong Chen, who was silent. She didn't care about Murong Chen's appearance of ignoring him, on the contrary, she still admired him very much, and would rather talk to him to make him less worried, even if he didn't pay much attention to her, but as long as she was by his side, she was very happy.
"Maybe it's a ghost leading a group of people. Murong Chen looked at the corpse and said to her. His expression was terrifying, as if he had seen a terrible monster.
"Don't scare me. If a ghost could be shot to death, it was not a ghost at all. Nia was not intimidated by his strange appearance, and raised her head to argue with Murong Chen, she pouted her little mouth, and raised her head as if she was a little rooster who refused to admit defeat.
"A lot of people are in human form, but they are already devils, devils who kill people. Murong Chen rolled the body into a pit, then buried it with soil, and said to Nia.
"Why did you become a devil, how can you see this kind of person?" Nia looked at Murong Chen with some curiosity. She gestured with her hands. It's as if to find out.
"Because of temptation, with temptation, man becomes a devil. It's very simple to tell them apart, the devil has no love, only purpose. Judge with love. Murong Chen walked to the river and washed his hands and face. whispered to her.
"It's a mystery. Nyoa grimaced at his back. Then walk towards the fire. She felt that it was a warm place, and that fire would always be a symbol of warmth and light.
Murong Chen washed his face with the clear river water, and then took a big breath. Shaking off his hands that were not yet dry, he walked towards the camp.
"Brother Murong, I'll keep a vigil with you. I can't sleep anyway. Nia leaned in front of him and said to him with a little playfulness, she seemed to have figured out Murong Chen's temper, although she was very powerful, she didn't blink an eye when she killed people, but it was a bad person who bullied people, if it was an ordinary person, it was estimated that Murong Chen would have no way to make people obedient.
"If you don't sleep, you'll have to travel for the day tomorrow. Murong Chen looked at her somewhat playful face, picked up a piece of wood and threw it into the fire, the wood made a crackling sound and splashed a little spark.
"Don't sleep, I can't sleep because of that monster, I'd better be safe next to you. At least I'm not afraid of monsters. Although Nia no longer had the shyness and restraint of the first meeting, she said to Murong Chen a little embarrassed.
"Then let's keep a vigil for everyone, keep this fire, and let everyone sleep peacefully tonight. Murong Chen looked at the crackling fire and said to Nia.
"Dead wood" Nia felt very uncomfortable, when she picked up a piece of wood, she suddenly thought of this word, she looked at the wood, looked at Murong Chen beside her, and suddenly she felt that this wood was very similar to him, she couldn't help but smile, look at the wood, look at Murong Chen, and her heart was constantly happy.
Murong Chen glanced at her and didn't speak, he looked at the fire, and kept thinking in his heart, why these pursuers came from Qingcheng Mountain and appeared here, the only explanation was that someone leaked his whereabouts and let these people start to stop him from coming to the southwest.
"Brother Murong, what are you thinking?" Nia threw the wood into the fire, looked at Murong Chen, who had been silent, and asked him curiously.
"It's nothing, it's just thinking about something. Murong Chen looked at Nia, stood up, stretched his body, the liquid was also very cold, and the moisture on the fire would also have a little effect on people. All parts of the body are a little stiff, so it's better to move.
"Actually, it's quite tiring to think about so many things every day, you say yes, it's best to live every day. Nia also learned from Murong Chen to move her body, and said to Murong Chen with a smile.
"You little girl, do you know so many things there?" Murong Chen looked at Nia, couldn't help but smile, and quipped.
The twilight gradually faded, a trace of red light has slowly emerged from the clouds, the sky is about to dawn, every day is a new beginning, and the most important thing is to live every day.
The sound of horses' hooves broke the silence of dawn quickly, and Murong Chen rushed to the side of the road with an arrow, one person and one horse. He was very confident in dealing with him. He hid behind a tree and listened to the horse move rapidly toward it.
The horses rushed directly towards the camp, but before the people on the horse could run to the camp, they had already been grabbed by Murong Chen to the ground, and the horses were also dragged hard and nailed to the ground.
"Who are you and what are you here for?" Murong Chen pressed him against the tree, pinched his neck with his hand, and scolded him angrily.
"Murong Daxia, Murong Daxia, he is my brother. Let it go quickly. A night watchman came running quickly and shouted at him. Murong Chen heard the shout and put down his hand, and the man covered his throat with his hand and kept gasping and coughing. For a while, there was nothing to say.
"Big brother, what are you doing here?" the man who kept vigil helped him pat him on the back and said to him.
"The village chief asked me to inform you, hurry up, the officers and soldiers have arrived in our village, and they have been dragged by the village chief, listen to the meaning of the leading officers and soldiers, they must catch you this time. Flee quickly. The man was still panting and pouting at him.
"The officers and soldiers have already arrived in your village, how many of them are there?" Murong Chen didn't panic, just asked the man calmly.
"One hundred cavalry, four hundred infantry, a lot of people, when we were eating in our village, the village chief asked me to come out and report to you. The man looked at Murong Chen and said a little anxiously.
"There are so many people, and we are their opponents?" said the sturdy men who were on vigil at once, and a trace of trepidation appeared on their faces.
"Murong Daxia, you have to think of a way, if the officers and soldiers chase after them, what should we do?" a man said to Murong Chen as if asking for help, he also wanted to go home safely.
"It will take three days to get to King Miao, we are a day ahead of them, and if we can get to King Miao's residence before them, we will be safe. The problem is that our speed is much slower than the speed of the officers and soldiers?" Murong Chen touched his chin and thought carefully.
"There are only two ways to do this, one is to speed up us, and the other is to slow down the officers and men. Murong Chen's eyes showed a glimmer of light, he clenched his hands into fists, and said very resolutely.
"How can we do this, how can we do it?" said Nya, muttering to herself, her big beautiful eyes constantly rolling.
"You go back now, bring this to the village chief, and let him find a way to dissolve it in water and sprinkle it in the grass of the horses, and we will set off now, and speed up." Murong Chen took out a packet of medicinal powder from his pocket and handed it to the man.
The man took the medicine, jumped on his horse, and ran back to the village.
"It's all up, hurry up and get in the car, don't rest on the road, rush overnight, the sooner the better. Murong Chen said to everyone.
Everyone immediately got busy, began to prepare, and after a while, they were on the road, Murong Chen sat in the last carriage, staring at a qiē on the road, maybe he also knew that a big war might be coming, so he was going to make this last stubborn stone to block the possibility of coming.
The car is like water, the horse is like a dragon, advancing in this southwest territory, how far can they escape, can they escape to the territory of King Miao......?
