Judging from the intensity of the radar, it is likely that the iron armored army came, and the number is quite large, otherwise it would not be so obvious on the radar. Now Li Ming’s question is, did the other party discover people like him? Or was he looking for them blindly?

This question cannot be considered too much. Judging from the distance on the radar, the enemy is still more than 20 kilometers away from here. According to the running speed of the Iron Armored Army war horses, it is probably possible to reach within an hour. Therefore, before the enemy arrives, he must make the due reaction.

So he called Jia Yi over and gave him a few instructions. Jia Yi immediately understood and took a thousand guards and sank in the direction indicated by Li Ming.

If this team of armored troops came for them, Li Ming was sure to keep them all in this dark night. His personal guards were not ordinary troops. They were all trained by Lin Long with great effort. Isn’t it a piece of cake to deal with these armored troops who have lost their impact advantage?

But it is obvious that the armored army did not find their traces. At a distance of more than kilometers, the radar showed that they had changed direction. It seemed that this army was patrolling at night, and it was just a coincidence to come in this direction.

Li Ming, who gave a breath, immediately sent someone to find Jia Yi and the others, and ordered everyone to rest as soon as possible. Tomorrow, he decided to make an urgent march to get rid of these pursuers as soon as possible, otherwise they would be surrounded here.

The next day, just as dawned, Li Ming led everyone to set off. The direction of his journey was very obvious, that was to bypass Linzhou's territory and turn into Yunzhou. When he was transferred from Yunzhou to Zezhou, this road was far away, but it could avoid Li Song's pursuers. Although Li Ming was not afraid of fighting, once he was entangled by the enemy, it would be difficult for them to get rid of him in the enemy's sphere of influence. By that time, their more than 2,000 people could not resist the consumption of Li Song's army.

Yunzhou is also a prefecture directly under the emperor. The difference is that this state is currently in a neutral state. Li Jiao and Li Song are trying their best to win over the officials and army of this state, so it is relatively safe. Moreover, Linzhou's primeval forests are densely covered with the number of Yunzhou Mountains, which can be very convenient for Li Ming's escape. Therefore, Li Ming decided to choose this path based on his own reason.

Li Ming, who discovered the enemy last night, dared not be careless anymore. After discussing the marching route with A, he hid in the base car and strictly monitored the radar to prevent the enemy from appearing suddenly. With the help of this super-era item, Li Ming and others were promptly avoiding more than ten teams of searching and blocking troops. It seems that Li Song has regarded Li Ming as a thorn in his side. This time he was determined to solve him here.

However, the vehicle-mounted radar still could not detect some small troops. Therefore, as they approached the evening, they had already fought with five patrol soldiers. Although they did not cause any major damage to them, the enemy's large troops were likely to pursue them based on this clue. Therefore, everyone couldn't help but speed up their pace, hoping to reach the boundless forest ahead before the sun sets.

Linzhou, as the name suggests, has many primitive dense forests, with an undeveloped area of ​​more than 90%. Most cities and villages are surrounded by dense forests, and almost all roads are built in dense forests. The deeper this situation goes into Linzhou, the more typical it is.

However, the road conditions in Linzhou are still very good, which is very different from those along the Songjiang River. Linzhou is rich in purple shellac and fragrant sandalwood, and almost all the beams and columns required for the main hall are produced here. Therefore, Linzhou's land transportation industry is very developed, which also makes Linzhou's roads very wide and straight.

Li Ming and his party rushed forward and finally entered the dense forest that had already appeared in front of everyone before the sun set. This primeval forest belonged to the kind of deciduous wood forest. So after entering the forest, the red sunset was immediately blocked outside the forest, making the road in the forest dark.

In this case, let alone the chasing troops could not find them, they could not see anything clearly here. Except for the road in front of them, they could not see anything else. This also made the guards who had never experienced this situation feel panic, and subconsciously, their steps stopped.

Li Ming did not expect that the trees here would be so dense, making the forests inside and outside the forest completely different from each other. It seems that even in the daytime, the dense forest will not be too bright, and at most it can allow pedestrians to see the road clearly. In the evening, it is like a dark night without moonlight, and you can no longer see your fingers.

However, Li Ming did not dare to stop now. Their horse hoof prints were still on the dirt road behind him. Therefore, stopping here was equivalent to notifying the pursuers about their traces, especially the pursuers might have a torch in their hands. At that time, I am afraid that this dense forest would be their burial place.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, which made him jump up with joy. By the way, night vision goggles, why did he forget this? There was a night vision goggles on his base car. He used them once when he just arrived in this world, and then he put them in the locker and never took them out. Now, it should be possible to use them.

Thinking of this, Li Ming hurriedly turned out his night vision goggles and checked them in the car. Fortunately, military items were strong and durable. After so long, the battery was quite sufficient, which surprised him very much.

With the infrared lights on the night vision goggles, Li Ming rode his horse and led the way in front and slowly walked into the middle of the dense forest.

I don't know how long it took, but Li Ming probably had three or four hours. The road ahead was still dark and endless. The marching of this day and the fierce battles may have been exhausted. It is not known how long it will take to get out of this dense forest. Li Ming has never been here, but he once heard that people have to gallop in the smallest forest in Linzhou for three days. So, since you have come in, don't expect to go out tonight. What's so natural is that they have already penetrated into the dense forest. Even if the chasing troops find their traces, they cannot chase them. Although they have torches, they will definitely not burn for so long. Therefore, they should be safe now.

After carefully considering the situation in front of him, Li Ming was about to give an order to camp on the spot, but suddenly, a dazzling light flashed into his night vision goggles, making him suddenly alert. In this dark environment, there was such a bright light. What was it?

Li Ming hurriedly took off his night vision device, squinted his eyes and looked carefully at the place where the light had just been emitted. Not far ahead, a little red light was flashing faintly, and it looked like something like an oil lamp or a candle.

Li Ming hurriedly sent an order to ask the personal guard behind him to suspend the operation. He put on a night vision device and quietly touched the light place.

That place was actually a small inn on the roadside. After cutting down a piece of the big trees on the roadside, relying on the old forest behind it, a circle of sparse wooden fences were built. Inside the fences were several low small straw sheds. It was late at night, so everyone in the inn fell asleep. There were still snoring sounds from the several straw sheds. Only a few horses tied to the horse sheds outside were still shining their hooves. What shone was the small lantern hanging in front of the inn. Under the night wind, the candles inside were flashing brightly and darkly.

This situation surprised Li Ming very much. He did not expect that there was an inn in this remote and desolate dense forest. It seemed that this road should be an important transportation channel, and there must be a lot of cars and horses during the day.

Li Ming quietly jumped over the wooden fence and approached a straw shed. He looked inside through the open window, but found a room full of strong men sleeping soundly.

Since there was no danger, Li Ming didn't want to disturb them anymore, so he jumped out of the fence and prepared to go back. But at this moment, the door of another straw shed opened with a "creaking" sound.

Li Ming was shocked and subconsciously jumped behind a big tree and observed the yard, but what he saw was just an old man in his fifties getting up in the middle of the night to relieve himself.

Li Ming's heart moved, and took off his night vision device. At the same time, he pretended to be lost and stumbled towards the inn, while muttering: "Thank God, I finally found a place with light. Is there anyone? Can I get it convenient for the third update in the middle of the night?"

The old man who was Xiao Jie in the yard turned around and saw Li Ming standing in front of the gate under the dim lantern. This made him very surprised. However, he, who was kind-hearted, did not think about anything else. Seeing Li Ming looking at him pitifully, he hurried over and opened the wooden door of the yard and let Li Ming walk in.

Li Ming hurriedly hugged the old man and thanked him again and again, and then said, "Brother-in-law, I wonder if you can stay here for the next weekend? Even if you pay the money, I just want to take me in. This wood is so scary. I have never experienced such a thing before. I will not come in alone if I beat you to death."

The old man smiled and looked at Li Ming and said, "Why did this young man go on a journey in the middle of the night? Is there something urgent at home? But you are so lucky that you can find this place when you rush to the road. Come in quickly. The old man opened this small inn, but there is only one big shop. People like the young man cannot sleep with those who pull the carts. So, let's deal with the old man's bed tonight. I'll rush to the morning. As for the money, you can give the old man five taels."

While Li Ming thanked him so that he could follow the old man into his small thatched hut. At the same time, his favor for the old man had disappeared. Five taels of silver was enough for an ordinary family of five to eat for a year. This old man really dared to speak. It seemed that he regarded Li Ming as the kind of rich young man wandering around.

The old man lit the oil lamp in the room and used the dim light to tidy up Li Ming's bed. Li Ming sat on the small stool next to him and said hurriedly: "Brother-in-law, you want to be busy anymore. I was frightened for the middle of the night and I have been sleepy anymore, so I want to ask my father-in-law to sit down and have a good chat with me."

The old man turned his head, looked at Li Ming and smiled, turned around and said, "Young Master looks down on the old man so much, how can the old man not agree? What are you talking about? I'm afraid that the young master doesn't like to listen to us rude words. Let's say this, what aspects do you want to hear?"

Li Ming pretended to be frightened and said, "My father-in-law, let's talk about this forest. It's so terrible. It's so dark that I can't see my fingers. Didn't anyone here rush to the night?"

The old man's face suddenly became serious. He looked at Li Ming and said to him with a serious face: "It seems that the young master is a foreigner, so he doesn't know much about the situation here. In fact, you were really lucky just now. The old man didn't lie to you at this point. You were the first person the old man had ever seen when he was rushing in this forest at night without missing."

Li Ming was shocked and asked hurriedly: "What does your father-in-law mean? Could it be that there are any human-eating beasts in the forest?"

The old man smiled miserably and said, "It would be easier to deal with any wild beast. At least, people still have ways to deal with them, but what we are facing in front of us is not the wild beasts, but what we often call ghost inspiration."

"Ghost Inspiration?" Listening to this word, Li Ming only felt a chill flowing down his spine, which made him feel a little creepy. Although he is a modern person and a master, as a human instinct, he still has an inexplicable fear of ghosts and gods. Therefore, in the middle of the night, hearing this word under the dim oil lamp made him feel a chill behind him."

"Yes, ghost leads to the point, it means that it is led away by ghost leads away. In fact, this is a long way to say it. I don't know when it started, and this situation has become here. During the day, everything is normal. The road is still the same road, and the forest is still the same forest. But at night, everything changes, so those who are rushing to the night cannot get out of this forest, so the locals call this place the ghost forest."

"But this place is the only way to Songjiang in the inland Linzhou. Many merchants who buy wood and coated gel must pass here. Therefore, there are more than a dozen inns like Laohan on this road. The reason is that the forest is too big. It takes four days to walk along this road from this end to that end. Therefore, people entering this forest are facing the problem of rushing to the night, which has prompted the prosperity of these inns."

"Actually, we who run inns should really thank this phenomenon. After all, for many years, I have made a living by it. As for my inn, it was passed down by my grandfather's grandfather. How long have you said?"

"Although people who pass by this forest often know the strange things, many outsiders miss the inn every year because they are eager to rush to travel, which leads to permanent disappearance. In fact, this is really strange. In this forest at night, as long as you don't walk around casually, stay in a place after dark, and the ghost will not come to him. But as long as you walk around, you will definitely be unable to escape. This is a lesson passed down by our ancestors for thousands of years. We will warn those who try to rush at night."

"You know now? Why am I surprised by your appearance just now? You are so lucky. It's so late that things can easily happen. This is something that the old man has encountered several times. They are all because he doesn't believe me and he also dislikes my shop too dirty and messy, so he travels all night with lanterns. What's the result? There is nothing left. Don't ask me how to know if they are missing. In fact, our inns are also stations supported by local governments. How many people enter the forest from here every day and there are few people out there. We all have records. Otherwise, the government's 20 taels of silver a year would be so easy to earn?"

"So, where is the exit of this road in Linzhou?" After hearing the old man say so much, Li Ming didn't care about it at the beginning. The old man obviously wanted him to live in this small shop and kill him well. Li Ming has seen too much of this trick, so now he needs to seize the time to find out the situation of the road.

"Export? That's Lac City, a specialty of shellac, which has nearly 200,000 people there, specializing in the breeding and harvesting of shellac. Now more than 90% of the shellac in the country are bought from there."

"So that's the case. Since that's the case, I'll trouble you. You can go here for two days first. You will naturally wake up in two days." Before the old man could react to what Li Ming meant, Li Ming hit the soft hole.

Li Ming quickly ran back to the team and led the personal guards who had been resting for a while to start again. Since they knew that the road was so long, they had to hurry as soon as possible. Normal people only needed about four days to walk out when they were rushing during the day. In this way, this road should be about one hundred kilometers. If they were at the speed of their own marching, they should be able to pass for more than ten hours. Therefore, Li Ming decided to catch up with the road for another hour or two, and then everyone would rest until dawn and strive to arrive at the lac city before dark tomorrow.

Since he had already adapted to the darkness in the forest, Li Ming obviously accelerated his pace. The sound of horse hooves of more than two thousand war horses seemed particularly obvious on this quiet night.

When he was rushing without any obvious reference, he had no idea of ​​time. Soon, another hour passed. In Li Ming's mind, he gradually felt something was wrong. He didn't know where it was. He just felt that the direction they were walking seemed to be somewhat deviated.

Realizing the problem of direction, Li Ming hurriedly ran back to the car and took out a military compass. However, on the compass, the direction indicated was south. Li Mingming remembered that when he first entered the forest, the direction he was moving forward was north, but why did they go back now? Thinking of this, Li Ming couldn't help but say "ghost lead" came to his mind.
