Just as the morning sun was about to rise, in the wilderness at the foot of the Eagle's Castle's mountain, a troop of over a hundred cavalrymen flew by, raising a cloud of dust. The dull sound of the horse hooves scared away many birds and beasts. A fat rabbit rushed into a large patch of grass that was as tall as a man. It darted into the grass as if it had been shot in the butt.
After the sound of the horse's hooves disappeared into the distance, the sixth brother and three other men poked their heads out of the grass patch and carefully looked around. After a long period of time, the surroundings seemed very calm, as if nothing out of the ordinary had happened.
One of the men asked in a low voice, "Brother, can we leave now?"
"Don't move first! "Just wait a little longer!" The sixth brother hesitated for a moment before he lay down in the grass again.
The other three didn't understand, but they still followed the order and laid down.
Just after two to three hundred breaths of time, the sound of horse hooves could be heard from the place where the cavalry had disappeared. A group of people quickly dashed over. It was surprisingly the group that had just passed by.
"It's a waste to ride on horses in the middle of the night!"
"Exactly! milk. milk. "Yah, I was really unlucky today. I couldn't catch a single person!"
"Those from the Supremes and the thief are not idiots. After getting captured by us for so many people, they definitely won't continue to sneak down from the mountains to die!"
"You're right! Not only were those thief not stupid, they were also very cunning! I wonder why my lord still sends out more squads to patrol continuously, knowing full well that nothing more can be gained. It's just unnecessary! "
"Stop talking nonsense! "My lord must have other considerations. Let's just listen to the order and do it. Besides, there's not a small amount of money for you. What are you blabbering about!?"
"The Boss is right! It was better not to say such words! The brothers who are on patrol should be here by now. Let's go back and rest! "
"Let's go, let's go!"
In the midst of their discussion, the group of riders turned their horses around, and the sound of their hooves galloped off into the distance.
"Let's go!" Just as the sound of the horse's hooves faded away, the sixth brother jumped up and ran forward.
The other three quickly got up and followed behind the sixth brother.
In less than ten minutes, the group of four arrived at the cliff at the back of the Eagle's Castle.
The sixth brother looked up at the precipitous cliff and asked, "Is it here?"
The tall man replied affirmatively, "That's right! This is it! A few years ago, when I passed by the Eagle's Castle, because of my curiosity, I walked a circle around the entire mountain.
"Then let's go!" Six nodded, took a pair of flying claws from his saddlebag, twirled the rope around his hand a few times, and threw it over.
Ka-cha! * Flying Claw grabbed onto a piece of rock and pulled hard on the rope. He didn't expect that the millstone-sized rock was not stable and was actually pulled down.
The four of them were startled and quickly dodged to the side.
Plop! The rock hit the ground hard, and the dull sound came from far away.
"It's really him …" Mother. "How unlucky!" The sixth brother spat a mouthful of saliva, went forward to retrieve his claw, and threw it up again.
At this time, two or three miles away from the cliff in the forest, a Xuzhou Army cavalryman turned his head and asked his subordinates, "Did you guys hear anything?"
"There's a sound, it sounds like something dropped onto the ground!"
"That's right, that's right!" Me too! Boss, there might be another daring thief trying to escape from the back of the mountain! Why don't we go over and take a look? "
"Who cares if he is or not, let's hurry up and take a look first!" "Let's go!"
The hundred over people turned their horses and followed the military lord, flying down the cliff.
The sixth brother was lucky this time. His flying claw firmly hooked onto a large rock. Even if he used all of his strength, he wouldn't be able to pull it back at all. He spat on his palms, and after rubbing them vigorously, he grabbed the rope and started climbing upwards.
As soon as the sixth brother climbed more than three meters, the man called out nervously: "Brother, it's bad!" It seems like a team of riders is coming! "
Hearing this, the sixth brother's face also changed. Just now he heard from the enemy cavalry that there would be a new patrol team coming, so he wanted to seize the moment to climb to the back of the mountain, he didn't expect them to come so fast!
This cliff was dozens of feet high. Even if the four of them were extremely skilled, it would take them a long time to reach it. As long as the enemy forces arrived at the bottom of the cliff, they would be discovered! They could sacrifice themselves for the sake of death, but they would ruin the Marquis' plans. If they could attract Liu Bei and Yuan Shu's attention, it would be extremely difficult for the Young Marquis to escape from the back mountain! At this moment, the enemy arrived in a flash. This place was like a small valley, it was extremely difficult to hide, not to mention that the flying claws were still hooked, it was very easy to be discovered by the enemy!
The sixth brother looked in the direction of the sound, and was momentarily in a dilemma.
The lean man suddenly said in a low voice, "Brother, Da Niu and I will go lure the enemy away. You and Er Niu must quickly climb up.
After the burly man on the left heard this, he cupped his fist and said to Ol 'Six: "Leader, I, Er Niu, will leave it to you!" Without waiting for the sixth brother to speak, he turned to the burly man on the right and ordered, "Er Niu, you must take care of Father and Mother when you return!"
"No!" Er Niu resolutely shook his head, and said with an anxious tone: "Big Brother, you and Leader will go up, while Seventh Brother and I will lead the enemies away!"
Da Niu angrily whispered, "I'll let you go." Mother. F * ck! With me here, when will you go all out! Leader, you guys be careful! Seventh Brother, let's go! "
The sixth brother sighed but didn't say anything. He just held on tightly to the rope, the veins on the back of his hand bulging out.
The lean man patted Er Niu's shoulders and laughed: "Er Niu, if you are alive and want to go back, you must find a few women to help me and your brother give birth to a few more sons!"
Er Niu acknowledged, before tears began to flow down his face.
"Useless fool!" Da Niu cursed, took out a bag from his bosom and threw it towards Er Niu. He then turned and ran forward.
The seventh brother clasped his hands and bowed to the sixth sister before quickly catching up to Da Niu. The two of them ran in the direction of the sound of the horse's hooves.
"Big brother!" Er Niu could not help but cry out in grief.
Da Niu stopped and waved his hand behind him without looking back.
The sixth brother scolded in a low voice, "Shut up! "Hurry up and follow me!" With that, he started to climb up.
Er Niu wiped the corner of his eyes, and looked deeply at the backs of his brother and seventh brother.
Seven and Da Niu desperately ran and quickly left the cliff. At this moment, the figures of enemy cavalry appeared in front of them. They purposefully let out a cry of surprise before turning around and running towards the woods on the other side.
One of the Xuzhou Army's cavalry soldiers noticed Old Seven and Da Niu and pointed at them, shouting, "There's someone over there!"
The large troop of military lord waved their hands and shouted: "Quickly, chase them!"
The other people's eyes lit up and chased after him while shouting. In order to prevent another person from escaping from the back mountain, Liu Bei had specially promised an unprecedented reward. No matter which patrol one was in, as long as they captured an enemy, they would receive three hundred points. He really wanted to escape from the back mountain at all times. Unfortunately, after capturing a few groups of people, no one would be able to come down from the mountain, so he once again had the chance to receive a reward. How could this cavalry army not be excited?
The military lord leading the group cursed fiercely, "Two dogs! Mother. It was raised, but it really ran away. Mother. Fast! Half of the people in front dismount and follow me in to search! " He jumped down from the horse and chased after them with the spear in his hand.
The fifty men who were at the front quickly dismounted and rushed into the forest with their weapons raised.
The light in the forest was dim. Seven and Da Niu were focused on rushing forward. They couldn't care less. After they ran for two miles, their eyes suddenly lit up. Before they could react, they rolled down the slope.
At the bottom of the slope, there was a small stream. The two screamed as their hands and feet clawed at each other, but they could not stop. In the blink of an eye, they had fallen into the stream and created a large splash. Da Niu's luck was bad. His head knocked heavily against a rock. He didn't even make a sound before collapsing into the stream.
The seventh brother rushed forward to test Da Niu's breathing. He let out a sigh as he jumped over the small stream and continued to run forward.
After ten breaths of time, the Xuzhou Army brought his team over and fell down as well. A few of them were as unlucky as Da Niu, their brains bursting out from the stone.
On the other hand, military lord was not harmed in the slightest. He crawled up and wiped his face, then picked up his spear and angrily shouted: "Motherf * cker … Of. Hurry and get up! "Keep chasing!"
In order to chase down the two enemies, they had actually lost several people. Moreover, it was not a time of killing, even if they captured the guy who ran away alive, they would definitely be punished when they go back. Therefore, military lord furiously swore in his heart that even if he had to chase this guy all the way to Jizhou, he would capture him alive and torture him to death!
The other people had the same thoughts as the military lord, they didn't have time to deal with their comrade's corpse, and quickly chased after him.
Sixth Brother finally climbed up the cliff. He pricked up his ears to listen carefully, but unfortunately, he couldn't hear anything.
Er Niu climbed up as well, and asked anxiously while looking ahead: "Leader, will our Big Brother and Seventh Brother be able to escape?"
"Definitely!" The sixth brother answered with a firm tone. He quickly retracted the rope and waved his hand. "Let's do what we have to do!"
Er Niu replied as he retracted his gaze, unwilling to part with Old Sixth and followed him up the mountain.
Seventh Brother was breathing heavily, his legs felt as if they were filled with lead. In less than the time it took to boil a cup of tea, he had actually run three or four miles forward. The shouts of the pursuers came from a dozen steps behind him. The forest ahead was thinning out, and it seemed that they would soon penetrate the forest and enter the wilderness. At that time, there would be no chance for them to escape.
"Even if I die, I have to kill a few more to carry the burden!" He let out a hateful cry in his heart, and suddenly tumbled into the nearby bushes.
The pursuers behind him could only bury their heads and chase, and did not discover the whereabouts of Seventh Brother. The military lord brought thirty or forty people and quickly rushed out of the sparse forest, but there was no one around.
"His milk... milk. We seemed to have been fooled! Quickly go back and search! " The military lord cursed as his spear ruthlessly struck the ground
At this moment, a few screams sounded out from the forest. From the sounds, it seemed to be their companions.
military lord was furious, he shouted and rushed back.
