Chapter 15 Towards the East
The sky gradually brightened, and the sunlight leaped over the top of the mountain, reflecting the mountains near the clouds.
The strong cold wind at night has calmed down, and under the almost transparent sky, the vast mountains are golden.
This is a rare autumn weather in the border area.
But among these mountains, a small caravan was shrouded in a solemn and panic atmosphere!
A group of arrows roared and rose in the mountains, either on the left or on the right. Each arrow rising means that a small group of eagle soldiers stuck a mountain pass or a certain road.
At first, the howling sounds of these arrows were still far behind, but soon, the sound of the arrows became closer and closer!
The reason for this is not complicated. Xu Le's caravan even took care of more than twenty heavy-loaded pack horses and horses. The caravans were the best for cargo, and each pack horse and even his own horse was trying to carry the weight to the limit of long roads. How could it be faster at such a speed?
The arrows rang out, following closely behind, getting closer and closer.
At the beginning, the caravan accelerated with Xu Le, and generally remained calm. Everyone was not too scared. These mountains were vast, so where could they be found?
Who would have thought that there were quite a few eagle soldiers in the mountains, and they were quick and familiar with the terrain, so they were tightly tied up. They chased them all the way, from morning to noon, and then to the sun moving through the sky, and the pursuers behind never shifted. If this continues, at most, they will be caught up by the pursuers behind them until night!
The people in the caravan finally began to panic. Everyone was breathing heavily and sweating heavily. The rushing pack horse seemed to feel the owner's psychology. They became anxious and neighed from time to time in the team. Some even tried to leave the team, and then were held tightly by the shopkeepers.
Everyone looked at Xu Le who was calmly walking in front of the team. At this time, everyone could only expect Xu Le to come up with a response method!
But Xu Le has been ahead and takes the lead in rushing, and hasn't even looked back.
Another loud arrow soared into the sky, and it was still one or two miles away from the caravan. If you cross a mountain, you can see the traces of the caravan. The sound of the neighing of the pack horses in the caravan might be heard by the pursuers behind!
The people in the caravan were panicked again, and the shopkeepers were fine. They followed the orders honestly, but Xu Le didn't say anything and would not make any decisions. But a young man finally broke out and started to make a loud noise in the team.
"I just want to make some money with you. Who would have thought of taking such a big risk? I didn't do anything to kill the Eagle and Yang Soldier last night! I caught up with you, but I just poured out everything. I didn't have to lose my life for this little money!"
Han Yue, who had been following Xu Le, suddenly turned around with fierce eyes. The shopkeepers looked at the handsome young master and his eyes became unkind. The handsome young master was unwilling to show weakness and glared back hard. The handsome young masters around him naturally stood on the same side as him. They immediately moved closer to him, and some even held the weapon, looking like they were ready to draw their swords and start doing it when they disagree!
From last night to now, everyone's nerves were too tense, and the pursuers were stalking and they finally couldn't hold on. Before the pursuers arrived, they might have to fight first!
Song Bao had already dragged back and held the Danyue Ji in his hand. Han Yue locked him in his eyes and reached out to hold the iron card behind him. The two of them had a collision, and Han Yue was indescribable, but Song Bao looked like he was trying hard to restrain himself.
Song Bao smiled bitterly, lowered the single halberd in his hand, and shouted at Xu Le's back: "Langjun, we dare not fight with you. But if Le Langjun doesn't use any means, we brothers can only stop accompanying us, and we can only leave the brigade and part ways, and we may even escape from the heavens!"
The caravan stopped moving forward, and everyone looked at Xu Le. Xu Le finally turned around. Yingting's face was still calm and composed. After walking for so long, she was sweating slightly on her forehead, as if the children of the aristocratic family were in high spirits. How could it be seen that a Fire Eagle Yang Soldier was killed last night, and now she was being chased by pursuers behind!
Xu Le glanced at everyone, a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, looking around. He pointed to the east with the last point: "Let's go towards the city of Yunzhong!"
Song Bao was stunned and immediately called out: "Mr. Le Lang, where did you think you are going?"
A group of people killed a fire of Heng'an Mansion Yingyang soldiers, and now they have been discovered. More Heng'an Mansion Yingyang soldiers are chasing behind them. Xu Le seemed to be unfunny and turned to Yunzhong City, the base camp of Heng'an Mansion Yingyang soldiers!
As for Song Bao's stern questioning, Xu Le just smiled and replied: "Let's go towards Yunzhongcheng."
Song Bao returned the Dan Yue and halberd under his armpit and bowed his fists: "Mr. Le Lang, my brothers used to be without eyes, but I misjudged you. You are so brave that you are unparalleled in Mayi County, but our brothers have narrow shoulders and cannot bear the work, so I will say goodbye."
Han Yue gently took off the Shentu Iron Shield on his back, and the shopkeepers also held the corner bows inside the bow bag, which could be pulled out at any time. The young men all held the hilt of the straight knife tightly.
The pursuers behind him were chasing him urgently, and now the caravan is in a murderous atmosphere that is about to get angry at any time!
In the tense atmosphere, Xu Le smiled and patted Han Yue's shoulder: "What are you doing when you lived and died last night when you were going to fight and kill?"
After being slapped by Xu Le, Han Yue still had a shield on his back without hesitation. He took a step back and just guarded Xu Le. Song Bao finally breathed a sigh of relief. God knew that he had been playing a small drum in his heart, for fear that Han Yue would fly out the iron shield! It was something that Song Bao would never want to do here, not to mention that there was Xu Le who he could not see at all now!
Xu Le slowly spoke to Song Bao with a faint smile: "If you don't go to the clouds, where will you go? The retreat routes behind were all blocked, not to mention that there were Yingyang soldiers who surpassed us and sealed the road to the grasslands. He had no choice but to abandon the goods, turn to the clouds, and turn back south along the official road. Now the Mayi soldiers of the prefect, who are the north-stop, oppressing the clouds, do they dare to chase south and continue to die with us?"
Song Bao immediately reacted. Xu Le's decision was the only way out! He kept drilling in the mountains and was caught by Heng'an Yingyang soldiers, which was a dead end. He could only go east and come to the official road from Shenwu to Yunzhong City. Turn south, as long as he could reach the range controlled by the Mayi soldiers, Heng'an Yingyang soldiers would never dare to chase him again!
Although I don’t know why Xu Le was approaching the pursuit, and he could still make such a clear decision in such a tense atmosphere. However, as a young man who has become old in the world, Song Bao is very clear-headed. He will listen to whoever speaks more, and whoever has greater power. Xu Le is definitely not a person in the pool. If he has a friendship with him, there will only be benefits but no harm!
Song Bao slapped his thigh hard: "Mr. Le Langjun, just pretend that what I just said is fart. We will go wherever you go, and we will never look back!"
Xu Le nodded at Song Bao with a smile, turned around and ordered everyone: "Turn the pack horses to the north, and we will go east!"
