Surprisingly calm, the speed under his feet is getting faster and faster, and so are the people who are guarding them.
And when they almost completely broke out, the truth seemed to be discovered there.
There was Weng Wen in Jingwan's ears, but she still heard someone roaring angrily, that was probably the person in charge of Zhang Guo. "Trash, trash, don't hurry to chase."
I also know that since it is fake, it must have rushed out at this time.
Judging from the torches swaying everywhere, there were more than one group of people protruding, who knew which direction Prince Qiyuan Jin was in.
He spat fiercely and scolded his mother, "This will make him run away?" He knew very well that he couldn't kill Qiyuan's Prince Jin, and when he returned, his head would be moved. "Trash, hurry up and chase after each other!" He kicked the next one and kicked his subordinates.
Angry, not only because people ran away so easily, but also embarrassed because he was deceived so easily, and he knew after a little thought that it might be a scam. No, how could he be fooled, obviously this group of people under his command is eager for quick success and keeps dispatching!
Li Hongyuan ordered to leave some people to block, and the rest to move on, and the torches in hand were directly extinguished.
Without torches, the next road is naturally more difficult to walk, but as long as you can't see your fingers, you can basically see the blurred outlines of nearby objects after your eyes get used to it.
Later, Jingwan found that their speed was not too slow.
The farther and farther they went, the sound behind them became weaker and weaker, until they were completely inaudible and quiet. In winter, there were very few insects.
A burst of fire suddenly exploded in the sky, with the previous "battlefield" as the center, at an angle of almost 90 degrees to the direction they were in. Although she hadn't seen it before, Jingwan also knew that it should be a signal flare.
The gunpowder that appeared early in the history of Qiyuan, the firecrackers have already played tricks, there will be signal flares, it seems not surprising.
Jing Wan watched it disappear completely, and did not take back her gaze.
"Wanwan, rest assured, our people are already doing their best to break through." Li Hongyuan said softly.
"Yeah." Jingwan replied softly, her nasal voice a little heavy.
Basically, they are all dark guards, and their lethality is very large. Although there are many enemies, they are determined and can always kill a bloody path. They have been fighting head-on with the people of Zhangguo before, all because the master has not left. Now, The master is safe, and Zhang Guo's people have dispatched a large number of people to chase Li Hongyuan. As long as they are still alive, then it is not that difficult to leave. Just not sure how many will be left.
"Don't worry, wangfei, they are all elites under the lord, and it's not a problem if they are one to ten." Gong mama also comforted aloud.
"Yeah." Jing Wan replied with a smile.
It's just that the smile is extraordinarily far-fetched. The so-called "one to ten" is probably in the case of each defeat. If it is besieged, there are a few people who can do this. Can block one side and two sides, how can they block three sides and four sides at the same time, besides, the dark guards do have high attack power, but they mostly take tricky routes, and they pay attention to individual combat. Their battlefield has never been like this.
Jingwan is not stupid, even if she has never been in contact with the dark guard, but there was a similar occupation in her previous life. She can always learn from some sources that it is the same as the saying goes.
In fact, it is also helpless to mobilize so many secret guards. There are not many guards in the palace. Although Li Hongyuan has the ability to dispatch troops, but those people are not involved in the things he did before, and they have to be dispatched. At least "regular channels" were needed. Li Hongyuan was trapped. Although he was barely able to communicate with the outside world before, people outside did not know his specific location. In this case, he could only rely on the dark guard.
Jingwan leaned on Li Hongyuan's shoulder. They didn't want her to know, so she just assumed she didn't know.
However, Li Hongyuan and Jingwan have the same heart, and they can't understand it better. They have the most direct contact with their bodies, so how can they not feel it.
- They are dark guards, and it is their honor to die for their masters. In this case, Li Hongyuan couldn't say anything to Jingwan.
"Take a rest. Gong Jiu, take the pulse of this king." Li Hongyuan said.
When Jingwan heard the words, she didn't care about anything else, "A Yuan, is the wound open?" She asked anxiously, and her hands were gently groping.
"Don't worry, it shouldn't crack, it just hurts a bit." Li Hongyuan comforted softly.
It was so dark that she could not see, Jingwan could only quietly lean against a tree, watching the blurred figures sway.
Gong Jiu has practiced the ability to deal with wounds in the dark. Based on his hand, he knows that Li Hongyuan's wound is indeed a little cracked and some blood is coming out. However, at other times, let alone screaming pain, he won't even frown. , things are not over, will not re-medicate.
Not only Gong Jiu knew, but everyone around him knew that he did this entirely to divert the princess' attention, and in fact it was indeed very successful.
At another time, he would probably think that he was treacherous, and he would shamelessly use a bitter trick in exchange for the princess's distress, but now it's special, and no one thinks what he's doing is wrong.
They have more or less experienced the experience of their companions dying for one reason or another. They are just because of external factors, which makes their emotions and desires weak. It is not that they are not for nothing. When they face it for the first time, especially their companions die for themselves. , that feeling is really painful.
Most of the dark guard princesses have never met, but she has always cherished life, so many people have been killed and injured, it seems that she has her own factors, how can she feel better.
It's better to be able to divert attention. Although I will also worry about the prince, but knowing that the prince is not life-threatening, the emotions will not be so heavy.
After groping for Li Hongyuan to treat the wound again, "Don't worry, Princess, the bleeding from the wound is very small, and it will not have much impact."
"That's good." Jing Wan exhaled. Speaking of which, she was also concerned and confused, so she didn't notice Li Hongyuan's "scheming".
Since he said he wanted to rest, then he must rest, but, conditions did not allow, Li Hongyuan didn't pay much attention to it. Li Hongyuan sat down casually against a tree, pulled Jingwan into his arms, and whispered softly. Talking to her, in short, is to divert her attention. He basically knows what the situation of "this battle" is.
I originally chose to break out in the second half of the night, when people are most tired, so now it is not far from dawn.
Jingwan didn't even walk a few steps, but she couldn't say she was tired, but her mind was tense, and she was prone to burnout during pregnancy. Li Hongyuan kept talking to her, which calmed her nerves invisibly. As soon as he relaxes, he feels a little drowsy again, but, in the end, he is worried and worried, and he can't sleep well.
If he could sleep peacefully, he would definitely recover a lot when he woke up. Li Hongyuan exhausted his patience and finally coaxed Jingwan to sleep.
When his voice disappeared completely, the surroundings became quiet again.
Li Hongyuan turned his head back and stroked Jing Wan's hair on the side of his temples, not knowing what it was, and obviously, he had no plans to get up and leave, although it was not far from the previous mountain, but he Not worried about that.
Some of the people who followed them were closing their eyes and resting, while others were scattered around.
Mammy Gong untied the burden on her back, and there was only a large cloak inside. Originally, this thing was considered a burden during the breakout process, but Mama Gong insisted on carrying it in case of emergency. Obviously, she did send it. came in handy. Shake it away, it should be on Jing Wan's body.
After this rest, when I got up again, the sky was already slightly bright.
After determining the direction, he continued on the road without waking Jingwan up.
When Jingwan slept until she woke up naturally, the sky was already bright, she hurriedly asked Li Hongyuan to let her down, she didn't know how long she had traveled, but no matter how good her husband's physical strength and arm strength were, there was something wrong with her. No matter how capable people are, they are not machines. Over time, lighter things will become heavier and heavier, but Jingwan's weight is not light.
There is just a small stream in front of them, and they also need to eat something to maintain their strength. After all, it is still not completely safe.
In the wilderness, for the dark guards, there is absolutely no worry about food. Even if they flee into the forest in winter, they will soon come back with some that can be taken out. The only problem is probably the taste. They are used to it, they can eat what they have, but when they are about to hand the things to the two masters, they realize it later, it seems very embarrassing.
Li Hongyuan looked disgusted, but Jingwan accepted it with a good temper, and glared at someone.
After the entrance, it doesn't seem to be that bad.
The exact location cannot be confirmed, but the general idea is clear. The people of Zhang Guo did not want Li Hongyuan to return to the Qiyuan capital, so at all costs, the road to be cut first must be in the direction of the garrison, followed by the official road. Once again, it is the nearest village and town. As a result, the manpower will definitely be scattered. However, as long as the nearest position is blocked, the manpower on each road is still considerable, at least far better than the current manpower of Jingwan and the others. Found trails, so the safer way is to avoid these places, so it is bound to walk over mountains and mountains, which is not an easy thing.
If Jingwan is not pregnant, this trip can actually be regarded as a hiking trip. Anyway, Jingwan's physical strength is very good, which is completely out of the question.
So, after thinking about it, Li Hongyuan decided to stay where he was and move around nearby, be careful, there is basically no danger of exposure, unless of course he is unlucky.
If I haven't seen them for a long time, Li Hongyuan's people will always come over. At that time, it should be his side that has the advantage.
On Qiyuan's territory, no matter how arrogant the people of Zhang Country were, there would still be a degree of arrogance. As time dragged on, the only disadvantage would be them.
Therefore, as long as Jingwan's body is fine, Li Hongyuan is not in a hurry, at most two or three days.
"I just wronged you." Li Hongyuan said to Jingwan.
"Grievance? It doesn't count, in fact, this feeling is quite novel." In the past life, this kind of "activity" was very popular. Jingwan has participated in it once or twice. Of course, occasionally it is actually quite hard. , but it's different now, everything is taken care of, that is, it is inconvenient to wash and there is no change of clothes.
Originally, let alone two or three days, it was a longer period of time without changing clothes. Jingwan had also experienced it in her previous life.
However, in this life, Jingwan has cast a good child. She is not a top-level wealthy person. She has been meticulously taken care of in terms of food and clothing expenses. It is not that she does not change clothes for a few days, but changes several sets of clothes a day. It has been this way for more than ten years, especially In the Prince Jin's Mansion, it is even more delicate, and now I always feel a little itchy, and I am used to this kind of thing, even if I am forced to change it, it is not something that can be changed in a short time. However, it feels quite comfortable to just sit in someone's arms and let him tickle.
Jingwan felt comfortable, but Li Hongyuan was a little tortured. Originally, during Jingwan's pregnancy, he had less chance to "eat meat". This time, he hadn't eaten for a long time. When he touched his daughter-in-law's smooth and delicate skin, he could No response at all
However, it is still the right place and the right place, and people don't occupy it. At most, they can kiss twice to satisfy their cravings.
On the third day of staying in place, a dark guard came to report, and a team of dozens of people came to find them in their direction. In terms of clothing, they looked like ordinary villagers, including the things they were holding. For farmers.
However, I want to know how unintentional this disguise is. In this large area of land, it is actually sparsely populated. The nearest village is also a few miles away, and there are only a few households in the village. Han, if you say there's nothing tricky, who would believe it? Even the bandits on the top of the mountain can't be so neat.
"These people really don't give up." Jing Wan said coldly.
"It's just a dying struggle. Naturally, I want to come out and try my luck, rather than continue to stand on a few roads and wait for the rabbits."
"I'm sure I'm a hindrance and can't go very far?" Even if Jingwan is very self-aware, it's okay if she's treated like this by her own people, and it's not a good idea to be treated like this by those enemies.
"This is also true. Wanwan, don't care." Li Hongyuan was still in the mood to tease her.
Jing Wan gave him a light glance, "It's just that we are unlucky, or are they lucky?"
"Who knows? Let's go." Li Hongyuan hugged Jingwan straight up, not slowing down at all.
While they were talking, the others quickly packed up the things they had packed and quickly followed.
Although some traces are too late to deal with, it does not matter. There are several places where traces are left, and they are deliberately left. If you follow the traces, they will only go around in circles, and in other places, they are not particularly careful and professional people. impossible to find. Moreover, they have long been aware of the surrounding area, where to avoid, and where to have a good view and not easy to be found. It's easy to take them for a walk.
However, it didn't take long for the problem to be discovered. This group of people was not fooled, because they actually brought a hunting dog. The traces they left just now are very fresh, and it is very easy for the hunting dog to find it.
Everyone's expressions became serious, they went around in circles, and took the initiative to leave after they didn't find it, obviously it was impossible.
If you don't want to be exhausted, you can only dispose of the hound, and in this way, they will also be completely bitten.
"If that's the case, then kill them all." Li Hongyuan said in a low voice, but the content of those words was extremely cruel.
However, no one thinks that he is talking big. If he doesn't face it, there is a wrong way. Once he is right, there is a right way. Things have been imagined for a long time, and naturally they have come up with a solution.
Without hesitation, go straight to the place prepared before.
The land is dangerous and narrow, and it is a good place for "one husband should be the gatekeeper and ten thousand people are not allowed to open it". However, although it is a good place, it can be regarded as a Jedi, because there is only one way to get in and out. If you choose to go in, When the junction outside is left to the enemy, they have no second choice but to win.
It seems to be backed by a cliff, feet on the clouds, the place is not big, and there are vines hanging at the entrance.
When she found this place, Jing Wan was there, but she hadn't gone in to see it. Now that she was there, she felt a little frightened. However, Jing Wan leaned on the innermost position and looked around. The bows and arrows were temporarily made, and they were originally equipped with hand crossbows, but there were not many arrows left, otherwise, these zero-hour bows would not be needed. ..
Although there were only ten of them, and the opponent's number was five or six times their number, even Jingwan, who was inexperienced in such a scene, was not at all afraid. There is a very high chance of no damage. The only problem is that I don't know if these people have gone back to find helpers, and the location and number of helpers are unknown, so it needs to be resolved quickly.
"Hurry up, hurry up, they are in front!" The person who said this was quite excited and took the lead.
The high-ranking official Houlu Meiren is right in front of him, waving to him, how can he not be excited.
Don't say anything that might not be the goal. First, there is no one around, and no one will easily move in this area. Second, if there are no ghosts in their hearts, how can they avoid them from a distance, so they are very sure.
Standing behind the vines, looking through the gap, keeping everything in sight, the hand crossbow with five bursts has been set up, just wait for these people to get closer, and in just one round, at least twenty can be brought down.
However, did not get carried away by the upcoming victory, approached, did not see anything, if it wasn't for the hound barking at a cluster of vines, maybe he would have missed it, so he became cautious and got up, the nearby tree, Or the stone is used as a cover to hide. However, the people under Li Hongyuan are obviously the most patient.
When the other party appeared one by one, he could hold his breath and wait until more people approached.
The fight last night was tragic enough. Jingwan didn't see it, but heard the sound. Now, it may not be intense, but, seeing those people getting closer and closer, she couldn't help holding her breath. I started to sweat, not scared, but nervous enough.
Li Hongyuan was standing next to Jingwan, his expression was natural and relaxed, which showed that he was confident.
Li Hongyuan kissed Jingwan's forehead, but Jingwan didn't seem to feel it, and stared outside without blinking.
Li Hongyuan was a little amused and a little unhappy at the same time. He pinched Jingwan's chin, forced her to turn around, and then kissed her hard.
Jingwan also didn't expect that under such circumstances, this bastard would still play this trick and beat him with rage. With such a commotion, all the tension is gone.
Originally, I couldn't hear any sound inside, but this time, I heard some movement.
At first glance, they dodged. After waiting for a while, there was still no movement. They thought in their hearts that they should not have weapons such as bows and arrows. Then they thought of what to do if there was a way back? Maybe it has run far away, and the duck that reaches its mouth can't let it fly, no longer hesitate, and aggressively pounce on it.
With a sound of "咻—", as the first arrow flew out, the following ones flew out one after another.
The arrows of the hand crossbow are relatively short, but the lethality is great. Moreover, the distance itself is very close. Occasionally one or two arrows fly out, directly piercing the two people, and the control is precise. Coming down, the harvest was more than expected, and these Zhang people, crying and wailing, hurriedly retreated at the back, afraid that if they took a step slower, they would be unlucky.
The hand crossbow is put away, and the bow made temporarily is not so good. Because it is a wooden arrow, the lethality is also much weaker. However, it is also not in a hurry. Pull the bow, aim, and let go. The final result is 70% worse. .
These fifty or sixty people fell one by one, either dead or injured. It was so tragic that the target person was never seen. Even if he had been warned before, this Prince Jin of Qiyuan was no trivial matter. It was very difficult to deal with. Be careful, however, when you really face it, it is scary.
There are fewer than ten people who can still stand, and all their courage has turned into nothingness. No matter the high-ranking officials and the beautiful people, they have to enjoy their lives, and the current situation is that even if they put their lives in, they want to make this one. The credit is given to the family, and it has to be able to kill the target. The problem is that when I go up now, it's just to deliver food.
Run, to save your life, run quickly!
Except for Li Hongyuan, Jingwan, Mama Gong, and Gong Jiu, the rest came out from behind the vines, leaving two mending knives behind, and the rest quickly swept out to chase the fleeing people.
In the woods, the people who fled in front, because they were scared and didn't adapt to such an environment, stumbled, rolled and climbed, while the people who were chasing behind were walking on the ground, and they chose the nearest route to advance, so, even if the back The number of people in front of them is less than that in front of them, and the people in front of them are also slaughtered one by one.
From start to finish, the time was extremely short.
Coming out from behind the vines, Jingwan looked at the scattered corpses, her heart beating a little faster, but it was better than expected.
"Come on." Li Hongyuan embraced Jingwan.
I don't know if there will be people chasing after me again, so it's not advisable to stay here for a long time.
Behind the vines, although it is not bad, the victory just now was also because of surprise, it will not be so easy later, it will take a long time, and in the end, they will only be trapped in it.
