Qin Wudi took a mouthful of snow silently, feeling the cold snow in his mouth turning into a cold stream, and then followed his throat to his stomach.
At this moment, I finally felt a trace of hunger.
In terms of Qin Wudi's realm, he naturally shouldn't feel any hunger.
Just as Su Mu could stay in the Ancestral Dragon Temple safely for ten days, Qin Wudi should also have this ability. As long as the Qi energy in his body is not exhausted, he does not need to eat food in time.
But it was clear that Qin Wudi was really hungry at this time, a physical and mental hunger that was constantly eroding Qin Wudi's nerves.
The reason why a powerful knight can not eat for a long time obviously needs Qi energy instead of supply.
But now Qin Wudi obviously doesn't have enough energy to manage hunger. Even the energy that he needs in battle is extremely careful.
Qin Wudi and his sister Qin Wulian have been chased by the imperial guard and the dragon knight for ten days.
Within ten days, the two sides had at least dozens of battles, both large and small. On the most day, there were even more than ten confrontations between the two sides.
Obviously this had already pushed the tyrannical Qin Wudi into a desperate situation.
Not to mention, when Qin Wudi successfully escaped from the imperial capital's high walls, he had actually been hit hard by ordinary people, and he had been fighting hard with his wounded body.
Even if it weren't for the Qi-powered turbine provided by Maggie, it could indeed get rid of most of the troops trying to encircle, I am afraid that even Qin Wudi would not be able to hold on to today.
"I dug some shallow roots, which can slightly relieve the physical recovery."
Qin Wulian was indeed more determined than people thought. Although her combat effectiveness was far lower than Qin Wudi, she could barely clean up the miscellaneous fish in the battle.
But in the ten days of difficult escape, she didn't even have a word of extra nonsense, but silently provided her brother with a little better supply.
Since Qin Wudi could decisively betray the so-called family and empire for her.
No matter how difficult and dangerous there are now, Qin Wulian will follow Qin Wudi without hesitation.
…
Upon hearing this, Qin Wudi finally showed a hard smile at the corner of his mouth.
Then he gently took the roots dug up by Qin Wulian and chewed the bitter and shriveled rhizomes without saying a word, while continuing to confirm the position of the pursuers in the wind and snow.
The reason why Qin Wudi and the two stopped here was obviously not to dig some roots for food.
In the battle yesterday, even Qin Wudi had to pay a very tragic price because of the arrival of the imperial dragon knight, and then he broke through the encirclement and escaped again.
Fortunately, there was an extremely huge blizzard last night, which completely buried the traces of the turbine's driving, making the chasing soldiers temporarily lose the trace of Qin Wudi.
Therefore, after daybreak, Qin Wudi decisively stopped moving forward, not allowing the traces of the engine that were easier to be found in the daytime, and once again exposed himself and Qin Wulian to their eyes.
However, at certain times, God is always so unsatisfactory.
Just as Qin Wudi was waiting for the night to come, the wind and snow, which was still quite huge, suddenly disappeared in this barren mountain.
Without the wind and snow flattening the wheel mark, whether it is during the day or at night, it is actually extremely easy for people to find the traces of the two Qin Wudi.
And without the cover of the white curtain, it was naturally easier for the imperial dragon knight to find the two people of Qin Wudi hidden in the forest from those condescending positions.
"Can't wait any longer, it seems that the wind and snow will not come for the time being, and if we really wait for the Dragon Knight to find us first, it will be even more difficult for us to break through the encirclement."
After Qin Wudi made this decision, he had already pulled out the alchemy turbine neatly from the snow.
Then he stepped onto the turbine neatly, and amidst the sound of the alchemy core's operation, started the warm-up for the Qi power turbine before departure.
Seeing this, Qin Wulian stepped onto the back seat of the turbine even more decisively.
He quickly tied the long knives and short spears he grabbed during the battle behind him, using them as long-range throwing weapons for use.
When the two had arranged their own outfits, the alchemy turbine was stabbed out again with a roar.
At this point, Qin Wudi no longer cares whether he will be discovered by the tracker.
The only thing he cares about is... whether he can successfully escape from the opponent's circle before the dark guards really form an encirclement!
…
"Your Majesty, among the hidden guards of the Empire, there are obviously no high-level knights. So it will be extremely difficult to hunt down Qin Wudi with them."
The person who said this was Yang Zimu who had been mistaken for the Chosen One.
Moreover, Yang Zimu's words were not accusing him, but rather stating a very simple fact.
Of course, there are no high-level knights in the empire's secret guards. Anyone who succeeds in reaching the high-level will be given a more important role.
Either guarding the territory of one party, or commanding the army of one party, or even as an imperial military commander.
The only thing is that it is not possible... Still dealing with the royal privates in secret.
This is actually a check and balance on the internal official system. Although the imperial guards controlled by the internal official have great power, there are no other high-level powerhouses except the chief of the internal official.
Therefore, even if they are extremely favored by the emperor, it is impossible for them to truly manipulate and dictate power.
However, the result of this has actually caused Qin Wudi to escape successfully.
Precisely because there were no high-level powerhouses in the dark guards, they also failed to capture Qin Wudi directly, instead allowing Qin Wudi to successfully escape from the imperial capital.
"The minister requested orders and arrested Qin Wudi personally."
A certain figure next to Yang Zimu knelt without suspicion and directly asked for his order.
This person is Qin Liang who came from the same line of the Qin family.
But in response to Qin Liang's request, the imperial emperor sitting in the soft throne did not agree to Qin Liang's request. Instead, he continued to look at Yang Zimu who raised this question and asked indifferently:
"In your opinion, should I increase the strength of the dark guard, or send Qin Liang to the dark guard temporarily to participate in the pursuit?"
The imperial emperor’s question is obviously a bit deliberately embarrassing.
Now whether it is the chief of the internal officials standing next to the emperor, or Qin Liang, who has just asked for an order on his own, they dare not enter this conversation again.
Can only wait quietly, Yang Zimu gave the imperial emperor a reply.
However, Yang Zimu's reply clearly explained why Yang Zimu was not only the most valued by the imperial emperor among the three people here, but even the status was faintly higher than the other two.
"Your Majesty, these two methods are not the best solution now. The best solution is actually to put the matter on the table in secret, and stop chasing after the dark guard as the main force."
"Since the imperial dragon knight side already knows about Qin Wudi's escape, it is better to directly instruct the imperial dragon knight to let a high-level dragon knight general to chase and return Qin Wudi himself."
"And more importantly, even if this matter is exposed in the future, after all, the reputation that the Imperial Dragon Cavalry has accumulated since ancient times is far greater than that of Qin Wudi today. When the two cancel out, people naturally forget about the empire. What's wrong."
Yang Zimu's answer not only cleverly avoided the harsh questions about the imperial emperor, but also gave a clear solution at the same time.
After hearing this, the imperial emperor showed a trace of satisfaction after all.
"The rider Sun Lan has already set off. Although it is not convenient for me to give him an order to kill Qin Wudi, it is certainly not difficult for him to defeat Qin Wudi and bring it back."
"And the order I gave to Sun Lan is an irreversible first-class military order. Even if his Qin Wudi successfully escaped outside the empire, Sun Lan will definitely not choose to give up so easily."
"Whether it is the Three Kingdoms of Zhu that day or the Kingdom of Siam, which is already like a pug, there must be no one... dare to stop the imperial dragoon from entering the country!" ()
