Riding the Pheonix Chapter 367: Acceptance
In the newly built castle, Yang Shu stood up suddenly: "So you left her behind and ran back?"
The five generals who came back with the caravan remained silent and knelt down on one knee.
Seeing that the situation was not good, Ah Xuan advised: "Master, if they dare to come back, it must be Miss Ming who has spoken. Can you ask clearly before speaking?"
Yang Shu also knew that he said this in a hurry, so he slowed down and asked: "What happened?"
The leader of the five people glanced at Ah Xuan gratefully and replied: "Before going to Tianshen Mountain, Miss Duofu told me that when King Hu's team left the city gate, we should pack up our things and go back. Don't worry about it all the way. Stay, seize the time, and go as fast as you can. My subordinates guessed that they were going to do something and expressed their intention to stay and help, but Miss Duofu said that it is useless to have more people, and escorting the guy back is the most important thing for us. The task. We were afraid of ruining Miss Ming’s affairs, so we didn’t persist..."
This is what Mingwei would do. Since it was her arrangement, she had her intention.
"What then?"
"We drove the caravan to the entrance of the Yanshan Ancient Road at high speed. Thinking that we were worried, we discussed it and went back to find out the news. We met herdsmen on the way. We heard that there was a chaos in Tianshen Mountain and eight tribes were killed. It flows into a river..."
Yang Shu took a deep breath and murmured: "You are so good at causing trouble wherever you go..."
Thinking of the seriousness Ning Xiu said, he asked in a deep voice: "Lao Fang hasn't come back yet. Did he go to find out the news?"
"Yes." The general replied, "Brother Fang said something must have happened to Miss Ming, and he wanted to go back to investigate. Whether she is alive or dead, the young master must be informed."
Yang Shu was silent for a moment and patted his shoulder: "You did a good job."
The general said hurriedly: "I don't dare to do it."
Yang Shu turned around and shouted: "Axuan, summon the men immediately!"
Ah Xuan said: "Sir! I haven't come back yet. We don't know the exact news about Miss Ming at the moment. How about we wait? Otherwise, you will go there without any idea."
Yang Shu said: "Lao Fang is a scout, and traveling quickly is his specialty. Calculating the time, he will be back in two or three days. Prepare the manpower first, and set off immediately as soon as there is definite news!"
A Xuan breathed a sigh of relief when he heard what he said.
The fact that the young master is so considerate means that he is calm and not impulsive.
"Yes."
"You all go and have a rest." Yang Shu said to the generals, "It's been a hard journey back, so go and take good care of yourself first!"
The generals said one after another: "Master, let's go and save Miss Ming too!"
"Your mission has been completed, and you should rest when you need to. We have enough manpower now, so don't worry."
The generals were wondering, do they have enough manpower? There are quite a few contracted grooms in the racecourse, but they can't fight! Could it be that during the six months since he left, the young master has recruited people again?
Lao Fang didn't let them wait long and returned to Gaotang the next day.
When Ah Xuan carried him over, he was almost out of breath.
After taking a short rest, he reported: "Young Master, Miss Ming is in great danger! After the chaos in Tianshen Mountain, Su Tu, the seventh prince of the Snow Wolf Tribe, took rectification for two days and handed over the affairs to the tenth prince Nasu. He set off with his personal guards. After many investigations, his subordinates believed that he was chasing Miss Ming!"
Yang Shu nodded and asked: "What's the situation on both sides? When did they leave? What's the approximate route?"
Lao Fang said: "Miss Duofu and Mr. Hou are both here. The three of them walked together. Su Tu only brought his own bodyguards, about a dozen people, and set off on the road. The time is..."
Yang Shumo calculated: "It has been more than forty days..."
Lao Fang's voice sounded a bit guilty: "As for the route, I only know that Su Tu went north, and I can't speculate on the details."
Yang Shu turned around and shouted: "Bring the map!"
Ah Xuan agreed and personally moved a huge map out of the study and hung it in the hall.
This map is a heirloom of the Yang family. The lands that the eldest princess and the old marquis have ever set foot on are carefully marked on it.
Yang Shu found the location of Tianshen Mountain, and slowly searched north with his fingers. He made some estimates in his mind, and finally headed east, stopping in front of a large lake.
A Xuan was surprised: "Miss Ming is still taking Duofu and Mr. Hou with her, so she won't go around so far, right?"
Yang Shu's tone was solemn: "It's because we brought the two of them with us that we were most likely to take this path."
"Why?"
His finger crossed the map: "Look, there are three ways back. The first one is the Yanshan Ancient Road to the south. She will not choose this road to escape, because this is the way the caravan took. Road, this will implicate them. The second one goes west, bypasses the Gobi, and enters the pass through Baimen Gorge. The third one goes southeast, via Beitianmen. It’s a blessing, but Hou Liang doesn’t know martial arts, and the conditions in the Gobi are too It's going to be hard, and he might not be able to survive it. He can only go through Beitianmen. This road is rich in water and grass, so there won't be any supply problems."
A Xuan calculated: "If we take this road, we should have arrived by now!"
"Not yet." Yang Shu slowly shook his head, "She doesn't know how to take a straight road. In that case, she won't be able to outrun the barbarians. The best route is to go around Lake Noga, walking all the way to the Suspicion Formation. Only then can we have a chance to escape."
A Xuan imagined the scene, and his hair stood up: "Miss Ming is too courageous! If you take this route, if you miss~IndoMTL.com~, you will..."
Yang Shu reached out to cover his eyes. His fingers were a little cold, and the cold touch made him feel more awake.
He quickly put down his hand and said, "Get ready and leave in the afternoon."
A Xuan was startled: "Sir, where are we going?"
"Beitianmen!"
……
The barbarian who grew up on horseback knows exactly how to use the lasso.
But seeing the lasso hit Mingwei and put it through her head, the guard captain pulled hard, and the knot was locked and tied tightly to her chest.
"Drink!" He shouted and pulled Mingwei over.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he left the ground, the weight suddenly disappeared. The guard captain fell backward due to inertia, and finally managed to stabilize his body. The rope fell back on his face, along with a fluttering paper talisman.
"Hey——" Everyone hurriedly reined in their horses.
"Damn Central Plains people!" The guard captain threw the paper talisman out and cursed angrily.
He turned to ask for instructions: "Prince?"
Su Tu's face was as heavy as water, and just when he was about to open his mouth, he suddenly felt a sense of crisis. He jumped off the horse and shouted at the same time: "Get out of the way!"
The reaction of his personal guards was not unpleasant, but it was still late.
Suddenly a sharp weapon emerged from the ground under his feet and stabbed out.
The shrill neighing of horses and the screams of people were mixed together.
When the surroundings calmed down, the horses they were riding were all dripping with blood. Some people are better, but a few are seriously injured.
Su Tu rolled away in time and was not injured. He looked at this scene, grabbed the big knife on his back, and his eyes seemed to spit fire: "Come out!"
Mingwei's voice sounded faintly: "It's a pity that I already have a fiancé. It's really embarrassing for the seventh prince to be so reluctant to leave..."...
