Xuan Tianming's palace chariot rushed to catch up with Zi Rui. However, the secret guards had to **** Zi Rui back to Xiaozhou as a top priority, so they traveled so fast that they didn't catch up until dark.
That night, the palace carriage stopped in a small town. Bai Ze bought a carriage and decided to send two more people to take Song Kang back to the camp. Firstly, it would reduce the load on the palace carriage, and secondly, it would be useless for him to follow him, so someone would have to be assigned to protect him.
Everyone in the town went to bed early, and only the lantern in front of one inn was still lit. Xuan Tianming asked Feng Yuheng for her opinion: "Should we rest for a night or continue chasing? If we continue to chase, we have to change horses. We galloped this day, and the people were fine, but the horses were not."
Feng Yuheng wanted to continue chasing, but the uneasy feeling was still very strong, but Xuan Tianming was right, people were fine, but horses were not. It only takes two horses to change the palace carriage, but what about the secret guards following them? It is impossible for the secret guards to follow with Qinggong for a long time. They also have to ride horses. This small town is so big, where can we find so many good horses.
"Let's have a rest for the night." She said quite helplessly. She opened the curtain again and looked at the inn that still had a lantern. She began to think about whether there was a good Marco in the town in the morning. Sell.
Xuan Tianming led her out of the car. Huang Quan and Bai Ze stepped forward to lock the door of the inn. The innkeeper came out quickly, a young man under twenty years old. The man looked outside, and when he saw their palace car, he couldn't help but be startled, and then said, "Wait a moment."
With a bang, the door closed again.
Xuan Tianming and Feng Yuheng looked at each other and felt something was wrong.
Not long after, the door of the inn opened again. This time, an old man stood at the door and waved to them. Bai Ze took the lead in going in, and ran out soon after, saying to Xuan Tianming: "Master, come in quickly."
The others hurried into the inn and followed the old man to the backyard. They didn't find a carriage parked there until they reached the backyard.
Feng Yuheng's heart thumped, and the "bad" feeling became even stronger.
The old man in the inn told them: "A group of people came here before dark, and they brought a young master with them. They said it was too slow to take the carriage because they were in a hurry, so they exchanged the carriage and some silver coins with me for a few horses. Fast horse. Before leaving, a man ordered that if someone comes to this town in a very gorgeous carriage, led by two young people, a man and a woman, then show them the carriage and tell them the itinerary. They. The old man is looking at a few of them, they must be the people he mentioned. Take a look, do you recognize this carriage?"
Bai Ze pointed to the carriage and said, "This is the one we assigned to the young master of the Feng family."
Feng Yuheng asked the old man urgently: "What else did they leave behind?"
The old man said: "I didn't say anything else when I arrived. I just said that I was going to Xiaozhou and I was a little anxious. But when I heard what they said, it seemed that it was too late, so I left in a really hurry. At this moment, it was too late. It’s already dark, so we have to hurry up until dawn to get from one town to another. I guess we must be traveling all night.”
The old man was only responsible for delivering messages. He had been running an inn in the town for many years and had met many people. Although he felt that all of the people in front of him were extraordinary, he thought that he had done nothing wrong, and these people were not like him. It was an evil spirit, so I wasn't too afraid.
Xuan Tianming pulled Feng Yuheng towards the carriage and was currently staying on the wooden frame of the carriage. Feng Yuheng also looked over and saw a small mark carved on the wooden frame, like a stretched bow.
Ban Zou also came forward at this time. He couldn't help but be frightened at the sight. He explained to Feng Yuheng: "This is one of the special signs for His Highness, and it represents...danger."
"Danger?" she repeated, making a calculation in her heart.
What are the dangers? Ten secret guards were escorting him, but it was so dangerous that he had to abandon his car and change his horse. This was obviously a speeding up of the escape. What kind of danger could make ten secret guards panic to this extent?
She cast a questioning look at Xuan Tianming, but she saw that the other person was also frowning and had no clue at all. However, Xuan Tianming still made a decision: "We can't rest anymore, keep chasing." Then he asked the shopkeeper: "I will give you three times the silver, and you can prepare more horses according to our heads. Remember, you need good horses and good footwork." The sooner the better, you know?"
The old man had a bitter look on his face, and he spread his hands helplessly and said: "Master, even if you give me ten times the money, I won't be able to find a fast horse. To be honest, I'm taking the young master with me. After the gang left, within half an hour another group came, twenty people in total, and bought all the horses in the town. There were other horses, but mostly old horses, and they had to carry a lot of horses. The goods are okay, but the riders are not."
Feng Yuheng exclaimed urgently: "All the horses? Is it possible that there are only twenty fast horses in this town?"
The old man shook his head: "Moreover, that group of people stayed in the town for less than an hour and collected a total of more than fifty fast horses. That was indeed the limit of the town. You have also seen that our town is too It’s a small town, but it’s actually just a transit place between the capital and Xiaozhou. It’s pretty good to have more than fifty horses.”
Xuan Tianming snorted coldly and squeezed Feng Yuheng's hand. They all understood at this time that twenty people could not use more than fifty horses, but they successfully cut off their retreat. After all, this is their real purpose.
What Feng Yuheng fears most is that someone will attack Zi Rui and the Yao family. The Yao family has become what it is now, and she doesn't want Zi Rui to make any mistakes again. Otherwise, she would not only be sorry for the original owner, but also sorry for her own conscience.
But whatever you fear the most will come. Zi Rui made it clear that there was danger. The ten secret guards were all running away. Who were the twenty or so people chasing after them?
Xuan Tianming knew that she was worried, so he immediately ordered Bai Ze: "Remove the two horses pulling the palace carriage, feed the horses, feed all the horses, then everyone will rest where they are, and continue to set off in half an hour." ." After that, he said to the old man: "Please prepare more fodder and ask someone to prepare some food. We will only stay for half an hour. The sooner the food is served, the better. You will not be short of money."
The store received two groups of strange people in one day. Counting them, it was already the third group, and the initial curiosity was almost worn away. After listening to Xuan Tianming's instructions, without saying a word, he immediately returned to the store with the waiter.
Xuan Tianming also took Feng Yuheng back to the shop to sit down. A waiter poured water for them. Feng Yuheng took some tea leaves from the space and gave them water to drink, while she took some for herself. Two packets of instant coffee. If you want to chase someone, you must be full of energy, and you can't tire yourself out.
Xuan Tianming analyzed the current situation with her in a low voice: "I don't know who is chasing Zirui yet, but I think it is possible whether it is Qianzhou or Beijie. Maybe it is even someone from other forces. None of them can be ruled out. We have no other choice but to chase them all the way. We don’t know how long these horses will last, but if we want to run one more night, we should be fine until dawn tomorrow to reach the next town."
But Feng Yuheng was still worried: "What if all the horses in the town ahead were bought by others?"
Xuan Tianming said, "That at least means that the group hasn't caught up with Zi Rui yet, so we still have a chance." He patted her shoulder: "There must be a road before the car reaches the mountain."
She knew that this was just a word of comfort. No one knew whether there was a road to the mountain. If she really lost the horse in the town ahead, what they were riding now would have to last for half a day at most. Stop and rest. After taking a break, my steps fell off again.
Feng Yuheng frowned and drank the coffee with a thoughtful look on her face. Xuan Tianming said to her again: "Beijie and Qianzhou did not dare to take the initiative to send troops because they wanted to attack them in the heart of Dashun. There is no chance of winning. They are all waiting for us to take the initiative to attack, so that we can use the ice in the north to consume Dashun's troops. However, not raising troops to attack does not mean that we are not playing dirty tricks. Hengheng, I am thinking, then Even if ten secret guards encounter equal masters, they are enough to defeat three. But why did they escape in such a mess? Why did they leave a mark that represents extreme danger in our army?"
Feng Yuheng's heart sank, and she said in a daze: "Could it be... that it's Qian Zhou Shen She?"
"It's possible." Xuan Tianming said: "No matter how good the hidden guard's movement skills are, Qianzhou Shenshe has the tracking arrow technique. Once that arrow technique is used, who can escape it?"
Feng Yuheng wanted to say that she could, but there was no need to show off her power at this time. She only regretted that she did not think of teaching the secret guards how to evade tracking arrows. If Qian Zhou really sent a divine archer to chase Zi Rui, this would be a really difficult thing to do.
"Don't worry." Xuan Tianming put his hand on her shoulder and squeezed it gently, "Even if he is caught, Zirui's life will not be in danger. They probably want to use that child to negotiate terms with us. , it won’t kill him for a while. It’s just...a pity for those brothers."
The brothers he was talking about were naturally the ten secret guards who escorted Zi Rui. Xuan Tianming never regarded the secret guards as slaves. They were his brothers who were with him through life and death, and their lives were as precious as his. He couldn't use his brothers' lives to block arrows, and naturally he couldn't wait for his brothers to die.
But right now, there is nothing I can do despite being anxious. Animals are different from humans. A horse really can’t walk unless it rests or is fed.
The food in the store was quickly prepared. The old man said to Xuan Tianming: "There are several stews in large pots that were not sold out during dinner. They are all good. There is no time to cook anything else." Okay, let's just eat some. I asked someone to pack a lot of dry food for me to take with me. You can eat it when you are hungry on the way."
Xuan Tianming nodded and motioned for Bai Ze to give him money. Bai Ze took out two large silver coins and gave them to the old man. The old man didn't refuse, just took them and accepted them.
Half an hour later, everyone set off again.
This run lasted all night, until at dawn we finally saw the town ahead. People went to the horse dealer who was selling horses with anxiety. When they asked, they heard a shocking result: "Gentlemen, you are late. A group of people came at Yinshi and took care of the horse." All the horses in my horse farm have been bought. Not only the horses here, but also the good horses raised by several wealthy families in the town have been taken away."
