Mu Yangling stepped forward to check, and said after a while: "No, these villagers died a few hours before the generals arrived. With the mobility of the Jinbing, it is impossible to stay here for that long."
Qi Haoran has also finished the inspection, and said with a blue face: "It's an ambush, looking at the distribution of the bodies on both sides, Jin Bing is ambushing the elder brother consciously, not by chance."
Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran looked to the east, and the traces showed that Qi Xiuyuan and the others broke through from the east.
"The traces of the breakout can't be faked. Let's go to the east and ask everyone to rest for a while, then let's go immediately." Mu Yangling patted his shoulder and comforted: "Don't worry, Brother Qi will be fine."
Qi Haoran pulled the corners of his mouth far-fetched. Everyone left the horses in the village and went into the mountains to search for them overnight.
It was fine at first, the traces were very clear, but at the back, the traces became chaotic. Qi Xiuyuan and the others were apparently divided into several directions to escape. Even Qi Haoran couldn't tell which direction Qi Xiuyuan was in. Only Mu Yangling passed the ground left behind. The footprints judged which team Qi Xiuyuan was in, Qi Haoran stared at the messy footprints on the ground for a long time, but still couldn't tell which one belonged to the eldest brother.
Mu Yangling has already picked up the big sword, "Let's go, let's speed up our pace and try to find people before dawn."
Mu Yangling took the lead and chased after the traces...
Everyone rushed for a day and a night, and spent most of the night in the forest. Except for Mu Yangling and Qi Haoran, who were still awake, everyone else was stunned by the trees in the forest. The trees in this place are even more than those in the kitchen mountain. It was so dense that no one could be seen ten steps away. If they hadn't trained in the woods, even if they followed Mu Yangling, they would have lost their way with so many people.
Qi Haoran sensed the low morale, grabbed Mu Yangling, and whispered, "Let them rest for a while and eat some dry food to replenish their strength."
Mu Yangling saw that his lips were bubbling, and she was obviously anxious. She looked at the soldiers behind her, a little angry, "I should have **** them to the death in the first place."
Qi Haoran's face was as black as the bottom of a pot, and he glared at her and said, "You, who did you learn these **** from?"
Mu Yangling was stunned for a moment, then rolled his eyes and said, "I'm talking about training them to death, when I'm the same as you guys?"
Mu Yangling threw off his hand, Qi Haoran had already rushed behind and ordered to rest on the spot.
Everyone was ordered to sit cross-legged, taking out the dry food on their bodies and stuffing them into their mouths.
Qi Haoran put a portion in Mu Yangling's hand, and raised his head to look at the star in the sky that belonged to his brother, but found that the sky was covered by a dense forest, and he couldn't see any light, so he could only hang his head in frustration.
Seeing this, Mu Yangling stretched out his hand to take a look and hold his, Qi Haoran clenched her hand, her eyes were a little hot, Mu Yangling felt the heat on the back of her hand, and tears fell on the back of her hand. Up, Mu Yangling was startled, and calmly blocked the eyes of everyone behind him, preventing people from discovering Qi Haoran's difference.
Qi Haoran obviously knew that this would affect the military's morale, so he turned his head slightly. When he turned back, the tears on his face had disappeared, but his eyes were a little red. The voice heard said: "Big brother is not only a brother, but also a father, A Ling, you have to save him and find him!"
Mu Yangling nodded, looked slightly at the soldiers behind him, and said: "If you are at ease, you can take them here to rest for a while, I will go ahead to investigate first, the speed will be much faster, I will leave a mark, you can follow the mark. find me."
Mu Yang's spiritual power is infinite, so her endurance is stronger than ordinary people. Everyone is tired, and she is just a little tired.
Qi Haoran is more energetic than Mu Yangling because of his deep inner strength.
He frowned and said, "I'll go with you."
"No," Mu Yangling said, "their morale is low, and it is the time when they are inseparable from the commander. If you follow me, I am afraid that something will happen. If you find Brother Qi, you have to rely on them to protect you."
Qi Haoran held her hand slightly loose.
Mu Yangling patted Qi Haoran's hand, took a torch and left, without worrying about whether the people behind him could keep up, Mu Yangling's speed was much faster, so she heard the movement within a quarter of an hour, Mu Yangling heard the movement. Yang Ling's eyes lit up, quickly extinguished the torch, and quietly sneaked towards the place where the sound was heard.
It was Jin Bing, there were more than 60 people, and they were making noise around two fires. Mu Yangling had learned Jin Guoyu with Qi Haoran and her husband. She tried her best to keep her body down and not make a sound. When she heard them, they were also chasing after him. Qi Xiuyuan and the others came here, but they couldn't find anyone.
After listening for a while, Mu Yangling could not hear any new information, so he quietly retreated. Qi Haoran had already brought someone along the mark left by Mu Yangling, and when he saw Mu Yangling came back, he would ask questions. However, Yang Ling made a quiet gesture and signaled them to put out the torches, knowing that there was movement ahead.
Qi Haoran made a gesture to the back, and the torches at the back gradually went out, leaving only their one, Feibai hurriedly lowered the torches, and no one from ten steps away could see the fire here.
Mu Yangling walked to him and whispered: "There are Jin soldiers ahead, sixty-eight, who are also chasing Big Brother Qi and the others, but we can't find anyone from Big Brother Qi, we should be not far from Big Brother Qi, Go around, or?"
Qi Haoran thought for a moment and asked, "Are we going up the mountain?"
"Yes, although there is a fork in the road, it has always been facing upwards, and now it has crossed the middle of the mountain." Although Mu Yangling was in the forest, her feelings clearly told her the situation.
Qi Haoran's eyes lit up in the dark, and the light of the torch was as bright as the morning star in the sky, he lowered his voice and said excitedly: "Brother said that when you want to fight a defensive battle, you must occupy the highest ground, so that Not only can we defend well, but we can also observe the enemy’s situation very well, but the enemy also knows this, so when they look for people, they always go to high ground, so we should take the next step,” Qi said. Haoran took a stone and placed a terrain on the ground, and said, "Looking for a favorable terrain to ambush in the middle of the mountain, you can not only defend, but also observe the enemy's situation, and even prevent the enemy from finding it."
"But it's the first time that Brother Qi has entered the forest here, how did he find such terrain?" This requires the terrain above the mountainside to be fantastic, which is not conducive to the enemy's occupation.
"I don't know, but I think eldest brother will definitely be able to find it." Qi Haoran looked at the stones on the ground with shining eyes, all the maps and topography of Fuping County appeared in his mind, and he quickly calculated Qi Xiuyuan's possible route. Finally, he took some twigs and laid a path on the northeast side of the road they were walking on, and then kept adjusting the angle, and finally pointed to a point and asked, "Can you find this place?"
Mu Yang's spirit is in this mountain, and he can tell that they are already amazing when they have crossed the halfway up the mountain. How could they find a point based on this rough map without a small scale?
Mu Yangling frowned and said, "I'll give it a try and go."
At this time, Rong Xuan was holding Qi Xiuyuan's right chest with herbs to stop bleeding. Seeing his lips turned black, he felt anxious and angry for a while. He almost forced himself to recall the medical books he had read, hoping to find Detoxifying herb.
Qi Xiuyuan closed his eyes slightly, the bottom of his eyes darkened slightly, he felt the pressure on his chest getting stronger, so he weakly patted him with his left hand and smiled, "Don't worry, I can hold on for a while."
