Chapter 583

Han Yan turned his head and saw that there was blood at the place pointed by his subordinate.

When I looked back, my tone was cold: "you just said that no suspicious people left the city?! who and what left the blood!"

"The bloodstain is clear!" the guard hurriedly said: "before the commander, there was a group of people out of the city, but it was not an outsider. The leader was a Baihu adult under the commander!"

Then he looked around and lowered his voice: "the hundred family adult went out of the city on a secret order and escorted two carriages. The blood... Is seeping in one of the carriages. The villain can see it clearly!"

Han Yan's face changed when he heard the speech.

Why didn't he know what secret orders his men had received and who needed to be escorted out of the city?

"Do you recognize the so-called hundred families!"

Do you recognize it?

The guard was stunned: "the villain is clumsy and doesn't know..."

More than one of the hundred families of the arrest guard has a low official position, and his position is changed from time to time. He is just a city gate guard. How can he recognize all of them?

"But the villain knows the waist token!"

And the green robe with unlimited power.

Hearing the word waist token, Han Yan's hand clutching the reins had bulged.

The waist token must have come from the subordinates he sent to the town government!

"Who was escorted in the carriage? Can you see it clearly?"

The sight was murderous, the guard's back was cold, and his tone was not weak: "the villain didn't dare to come forward to check, for fear of delaying the work of your adults, he hurried to..."

Before the words fell, a whip came and fell heavily on him.

"Waste!"

Han Yan clenched his teeth and asked, "how long have they gone!"

"Hui... Lord Hui... Less than two quarters of an hour!" the guard was thrown to the ground by the whip and replied in a trembling voice.

"Chase!"

Han Yan suddenly drove his horse and led nearly 100 arrest guards out of the city gate.

Less than two quarters of an hour

The other party has a carriage, and there are old, weak, women, children and injured people. It is impossible to abandon the car, so we can catch up!

"Feng shisan!"

"My subordinates are here!"

Han Yan told his subordinates in a loud voice: "take the three people to take a shortcut and go to Dingyun mountain military camp to report. The Duke of the town conspired against the rebellion and defected out of Beijing. Let them immediately dispatch troops in two ways to guard Wan county official road and Jingshui River respectively! It is necessary to intercept people at all costs! If there is any mistake, they must share the responsibility and punishment with our arrest guard!"

Wan county and Jingshui River are the only way to Xujia military camp——

We must hold one of these two lines of defense!

The sound of horses' hoofs billowed and raised dust, floating and surging in the autumn wind, which seemed to block out the sky and the sun.

The clear color has been quietly erased, and the dark clouds are pressing down, urging the people on the horse not to relax for a moment.

In the rush of cars and horses, Xu Mingyi looked at the rolling mountains on the front side.

Dingyun mountain is coming. Just pass through the mountains and there is only more than half of the distance from the Xujia military camp!

At this time, a sharp cry suddenly came from the gloomy top.

It's the voice of the heavenly eye!

Xu Mingyi's eyes suddenly changed.

Tianmu couldn't get into the carriage today. Instead, he just followed them. It was like taking a post for himself, trying to prove that he was not a freeloader——

At this time, making such a cry is obviously a warning!

Soon, the call rang again and again.

The cry of birds of prey is particularly striking in the open suburbs. It is groundless to listen to it.

Wu Chiu and Xu Mingyi exchanged a look of confidence in each other's eyes - there must be pursuers behind them!

After a while, the sound of muddy hoofs came into my ears.

There was no need for anyone to give orders. Zhu Xiu and others who opened the road in front immediately slowed down and let two carriages go ahead.

As the sound of Horseshoes approached, the Empress Dowager and others in the car also noticed that the danger was approaching.

The king's son of Dingnan and Xu didn't follow the rear, but walked on both sides of the carriage. They didn't have the ability to fight the enemy. Being brave would add to the chaos.

"Whew!" a sharp arrow flew through the wind in the gloomy heaven and earth.

Zhu Xiu pulled out the big knife behind her back to block it.

You can avoid this arrow, but it is the dense arrow rain that follows!

Soon several people fell off their horses with arrows.

Without a word of nonsense and instant hesitation, the purpose of the visitor is clear - as long as he can stop people, life and death!

"Zhaozhao, go ahead!" Wu TSUO dodged a sharp arrow with a barb and urged Xu Mingyi on the horse.

"No!"

The girl's long sword cut off the oncoming long arrow, and her tone was also resolute.

If she is unable to resist the enemy, she will hide away without warning, so as not to delay, but she has spare power. Kill one!

At this time, they can't run. Among them, there are only more than 30 enemies, and there are more than 100 people watching each other from a distance... There is no chance of winning in number, but there is no reason to shrink back!

When she was a child, she often heard her grandfather talk about the battlefield. His grandfather said that the number of people was an absolute advantage, but if it wasn't for the gap of tens of thousands of people, when the troops met, it would be a murderous spirit. It depends on who wants to live more!

It's not advisable to be passive. The girl took back her sword and drew her bow. There was no empty hair when two arrows came out. The two arrest guards who rushed in front immediately fell.

Han Yan narrowed his eyes, moved his crossbow and aimed at the direction of the tanpao girl.

Three short arrows were fired in a row. It seemed that they had been stained with blood before their eyes.

"Be careful!" Wu TSUO suddenly turned his horse's head.

Xu Mingyi was aware of it. He took the reins in his hand and hid to one side. In this gap, another cold arrow hit the horse's leg.

The horse was frightened and struggled. Xu Mingyi immediately loosened the reins and handed a big hand to her in time. She held it hard and jumped with strength. The young man steadily mentioned it on the horse's back in front of him.

They both rode on the same horse, and an arrow came behind them. Wu Tsung suddenly bent over and protected her.

Xu Mingyi clearly heard the sound of an arrow passing over his head.

At this time, Wu Tsung drew two long arrows from the quiver tied to one side of the horse's back.

Xu Mingyi immediately handed the bow in his hand and took the reins in his other hand.

This bow is the one he gave her. It was made by a famous craftsman. If she uses full strength, she can wear elm four fingers more than a hundred steps away.

The boy sat on the horse, turned sideways, and his tight arms showed slender and tight lines under his robe——

"Whew, whew -"

Two arrows at once.

The long arrow went straight at the target, but the arrow rain could not be stopped.

Han Yan couldn't dodge and was shot in the abdomen.

Zhu Xiu and others took the opportunity to counter attack with arrows, and zhonghanyan fell off his horse in chaos.

"My Lord!"

The commander fell down, causing a momentary panic among the people.

"Wu Shisun, get away!"

I don't know when the National Teacher hiding in the front came to Wu Tsui. He grabbed the reins in one hand and restrained the horse with a little effort, while the other hand threw it hard in the direction of the group of wanted guards.

"Bang bang!"

The explosion sounded, the lime powder wrapped outside was blown open, and thick smoke rose everywhere in the air, obscuring the line of sight.

"Let's go!" the National Normal School shouted and quickly turned around.

After all, it's normal for people who want to run away at any time to have some self-defense things on their body. Although they can't hurt the enemy, it's good to delay some time.

This is by no means a time of war. People drive horses immediately.

The front needs to pass through a section of mountain forest. When you get out of this section of mountain road, you will leave the scope of Dingyun mountain.

"My lord..."

In the sound of coughing, a wanted guard quickly dismounted and came forward to check Han Yan's injury.

Han Yan's face was cold and sweaty, his complexion was white, and his eyes were hurt by lime powder, but he still gritted his teeth and insisted: "go after... Never let them escape! Come on!"

As soon as his voice fell, he heard the faint sound of a horn.

The sound of the bugle was thick and floated through the mountains and forests.

Han Yan looked shocked: "it's the call of the barracks to summon the soldiers to resist the enemy...! Feng shisan has delivered the letter! Hurry, be sure to hold them!"

Wan county has passed, and Jingshui river is less than 20 miles ahead. We must catch up with the people of zhenguogong before the military camp sends troops!

As long as you hold on, you can't escape as soon as the army arrives!

Inspired by the sound of the horn, all the wanted guards responded in unison and left two people to look after Han Yan. The others immediately chased after Han Yan in the mountains!

The sound of the horn for a long time also shocked Xu Mingyi and others.

The most worried thing happened!

Han Yan must have ordered his confidants to report to the barracks when he left the city. At this time, the barracks must have sent troops to cut off their way!

Fortunately, the Jingshui river is not far ahead. When she was young, she often went to the military camp with her grandfather. The significance of the existence of Jingshui river is clear. As long as she crossed the river, she can block the pursuit of soldiers in turn

But at this time, there was a sound of horses' hoofs behind them. These wanted guards obviously wanted to delay their progress——

"Do you have the thunderbolt bullet just now!" Xu Mingyi turned to the national teacher and asked.

The national master nodded hurriedly: "yes! There are still some!"

Then he took it out of his Taoist robe.

Xu Mingyi has stretched out his hand: "give it to me!"

Wu Tsui slowed down his horse a little, and the national teacher quickly handed it over.

"Slow down more." Xu Mingyi groped out a purse from his waist and said to Wu Tsui.

He turned and looked at the National Teacher: "go!"

The national master nodded quickly. He understood that if you move slowly, run first!

"Uncle Zhu, you go ahead too!" Xu Mingyi urged Zhu Xiu and others who had been cut off.

"Yes!" without asking much, Zhu Xiu immediately urged his horse to cross Wu TSUO very quickly.

Xu Mingyi turned sideways and leaned against Wu Tsun's shoulder. When he could see the group of wanted guards in the forest, he immediately threw his things out.

The explosion sounded again.

The white fog soon filled the air, and the party slowed down. With the experience of just now, they mostly raised their hands to cover their eyes from the lime powder.

"Keep chasing!"

It's just a little trick in the Jianghu. How long can some broken gunpowder and lime powder delay!

As soon as the idea began, the first few people suddenly fell off their horses.

One after another, someone fell off his horse.

"It's poisonous in the fog... Shut up quickly!" someone responded and shouted immediately.

But it's too late.

The poisonous powder had already spread with the explosion. It happened that the mountain forest was hidden and difficult to disperse for a long time.

Even those who hold their breath in time, even if they don't faint immediately, they can't catch up anymore.

And it is impossible for horses to be completely unaffected by poisons harmful to people.

After getting rid of the pursuers behind him, Xu Mingyi leaned in front of Wu Cui and breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the act of poisoning was always inferior, it was most important for her to always protect her life.

"Hold on."

The young man's voice sounded in his ear, and Xu Mingyi firmly hugged him with an arm.

Out of the mountain forest, the speed of cars and horses is getting faster and faster.

And just when everyone was full of hope and felt that life was in front of them, they heard the sound of Horseshoes again.

This time it came from the front!

It was thrilling all the way, and the sound of the horse's hooves fell on my ears like a life-threatening spell.

People from the front... Most of them are soldiers from the Beijing camp!

But how could it be so fast?!

Now it is out of the dense forest, and there is a straight road leading to Jingshui river. There is no way to avoid!

Even though the other party only sent a small team first, the front army arrived, followed by the army they can't compete with

They all slowed down.

If the enemy goes further, he will fall into the trap and be anxious to die.

Zhu Xiu wiped the blood on her face and pulled out the big knife behind her again.

Ah Zhu also quietly clenched the long knife and closely guarded Xu Mingyi's side.

"Don't be afraid." Wu Chiu's determined voice sounded, "it's not the enemy!"

"...." Xu Mingyi nodded, relaxed his tight body, and showed a smile like the rest of his life on his face full of sweat and a few strands of scattered hair.

This direction will not be the enemy!

It was too nervous all the way, just like a frightened bird. When I heard the sound of horses' hoofs, I felt that I was the one in the way.

Calm down and think about it. Even if the people in Beijing camp come so fast, they can't come from the front!

As the two sides approached, the visitor soon showed his true face.

Looking at the people and horses in sight, Zhu Xiu felt for the first time that Qin Wu's stupid donkey face was so pleasant and kind!

"Madam, look, it's Xu Jiajun!"

Wu Shizi looked very loose. He turned to the Xu family on his side and said, "it's the Xu family army who came to meet him!"

Xu smiled and nodded, his eyes reddened.

"General!"

"Girl!"

"Zhaozhao, where's the old man!"

Two groups of people meet, and Xu Mingyi sees his second uncle among the people who take the lead.

She pointed to the carriage: "it's all in the car. Tell me more when you cross the bridge!"

All in the car.

Just be there.

Xu Yun put down his heart for a moment, adjusted his horse head with Qin Wu and others, and turned back in the direction of Jingshui river.

There is a cable bridge on the river bank, which can allow a carriage to pass.

First, ten people got on the bridge and protected the carriage first.

The Duke of the town was sitting in the car, the bridge was shaking, and the carriage was floating in the air. He had crossed the bridge many times, but he was in such a mood at this time.

This Jingshui River, which is flooded during the flood season, divides the south of the capital into two. On the left side, an official road has been built since ancient times to communicate with the south of the Yangtze River. Over the years, it has gradually accumulated the spirit of wealth.

In contrast, due to the terrain, the right side lags behind. Most of them are farmers and hunters whose ancestors made a living by farming and hunting.

At the beginning, the first emperor entered Beijing and began to build a military camp. He voluntarily led Xu's army to the side of Jingshui river.

Even the closest siblings should have a sense of propriety in the face of the identity of emperor.

This Jingshui river is his discretion.

At that time, he did not expect that his so-called measured move would one day become a talisman——

After crossing the river, Qin Wu immediately ordered.

"Chop!"
