Chapter 21 Running away

"drive……!"

The reins in his hands shook slightly, and the hooves of the horse beneath him flew.

The warm sun is rising.

A man wearing full body armor, a black iron mask on his face, and carrying a strange large bamboo box on his back was riding a tall horse, galloping past the dirt road.

On the left side of his waist, he also slung a fine iron long sword made by Baiyue soldiers.

"Stop anyone who comes!"

Soon, as they passed an intersection on the road out of the city, two guardsmen crossed each other's swords.

Stop the strange soldiers galloping on horseback.

"Uh...!"

Si Yuan stretched out his hand to pull the reins and asked the horse to stop.

Wearing a black iron mask, it was difficult to see clearly his true appearance and changes in expressions. Only a pair of eyes were revealed, quickly scanning the surroundings without leaving any trace.

Found it at the entrance of the road out of the city.

In addition to the two soldiers who blocked him, there were more soldiers stationed nearby for defense, including archers and heavy armored infantry.

There are also horse-repelling stakes installed on the road directly opposite the gate.

"Don't break in by force." Si Yuan quickly judged this outcome and secretly guessed: "It seems that the actual situation has become very tense."

Thinking about things in my mind very fast.

But in reality, he just stopped his horse, put his left hand into the gap in the armor on his chest, and took out a black iron token.

Place the side with the Vietnamese characters on it facing the soldiers blocking the road.

"Your Majesty, the messenger has an order. He ordered his subordinates to go out and convey new instructions to the scout commander."

"If you delay something important, be careful with your heads."

When the two soldiers blocking the road heard this, they opened their eyes wide and carefully observed the token in the hands of the soldiers on horseback, after confirming that it was the real token.

After hesitating for a moment, he took the initiative to let go of Chang Ge who was blocking the road.

"Open the door and let us go!"

Soon, two infantrymen took a few steps forward, lifted the horse pile away, and opened a small passage.

Si Yuan put away the black snake token in his hand.

The horse's reins shook hard in his hand, and his legs gently clamped the horse's belly. The horse immediately started running and quickly left the city along the small passage.

All four hooves were flying, and he was running with great strides.

Soon.

He disappeared from the sight of the guards.

At this moment, the guard commander gently rubbed his abdomen with his hand and walked over with a pale face. He turned his head and glanced at the fine dust on the road raised by the horse's running.

He turned back to the team leader in charge of guarding and asked, "Who went out just now?"

"Reporting to the commander, he is the messenger of the messenger. He said that he went out to convey new instructions to the scout commander." The guard team leader quickly responded with his hands clasped in his fists.

"Your Majesty's messenger?" When the guard commander heard this, his heart suddenly burst into anger. He raised his hand and slapped the guard squad leader hard.

"Snapped……!"

The huge force of the hand made the squad leader stagger.

Even the black iron mask on his face was blown off.

"You idiot!"

"The messenger is currently leading people to collect war supplies from the nobles door to door. How could he send people to interfere with the scout camp?"

The guard commander was furious.

Although he didn't know who was leaving the city just now while he was on his way to Chugong, he knew that the other party was definitely not the messenger of the Lord's messenger.

"Someone is coming!"

"Send a small team of troops to catch me up. If you want to see the person alive, you will see the corpse if you die."

Finish issuing new orders.

A small group of men and horses immediately came out and rode quickly to catch up.

As for the guard commander, he suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed at the guard squad leader and ordered in a cold voice: "Bring him to me and detain him temporarily."

He glanced slightly at his head and stared coldly at the guard captain.

"You'd better hope that the person who sneaked out of the city just now is not an enemy spy."

"Otherwise, be prepared to die and apologize."

When the guard captain, who was detained by two soldiers, heard these words, his expression suddenly changed and he couldn't help shouting loudly: "Sir, spare your life, I don't dare to do it anymore..."

"Drag it down!" The guard commander waved his hand, and the soldiers dragged the squad leader away. He turned around and looked at the other soldiers and ordered in a cold voice: "Everyone is under strict guard by this commander."

"If anyone makes any mistakes again, don't blame me for being ruthless under the sword."

"Your Majesty!"





On a bumpy dirt road.

Si Yuan rode forward on horseback, casually unhooking the soldiers' armors and throwing them into the woods on both sides of the road to lighten his load.

"Finally got out of the city..."

He stretched out his hand to loosen the collar of his clothes to let some air in.

At the same time, I carefully considered the next direction in my mind.

"I'm taking my sister with me, so I can't keep following the main road."

"The probability of such an encounter with the Chu State and South Korean army is too high. If we encounter it, with my current state, I will almost certainly die."

"Then you can only sneak quietly through the virgin forest. The less visited you are, the safer you will be."

I have a decision in my mind.

Si Yuan no longer hesitated, put his right hand on the horse's back, and stood up.

Then when the horse ran past a thick tree, he stepped on the horse's back to gain strength, and jumped up easily, carrying the big bamboo box containing Yuji on his back.

"Crash...!"

He grabbed the tree trunk with both hands and climbed upwards.

Soon.

Si Yuan disappeared carrying the bamboo box on his back.

Moreover, walking on the tree trunks did not leave any traces of footprints on the ground.

"Every Yue man is good at getting into the woods, so we must be on guard against this." Si Yuan kept thinking in his mind, even though he was jumping between tree trunks, he was still vigilant.

He was sure that there must be scouts hidden in the hidden places of some tree trunks in the woods.

When I was thinking about this.

A poisonous arrow quenched with deadly poison shot towards him from the darkness of the branches of the trees.

"One of our own!"

Si Yuan shouted hurriedly.

One hand reached into the clothes on his chest and took out the black snake token, raising it high. The other hand tightly grasped the hilt of the fine iron sword at his waist.

"Keng...!"

The long sword was unsheathed, and the cold light flickered.

At the last moment, he narrowly missed the poisonous arrow shot at him.

At this moment.

A thin man wearing green clothes, with colorful paint on his face, holding a long bow in his hand and carrying an arrow pot on his back, came out of hiding.

He looked intently at the black snake token in Si Yuan's hand and asked coldly.

"My lord ordered you to come here, but why is it so important?"

"Your Majesty has an order, and I order you to continue to lurk forward for ten miles, and always pay attention to the enemy's movements." Taking advantage of the opportunity of pretending to pass the order, Si Yuan quietly took a few steps forward.

Close the distance between the two parties.

At the same time, do your best to increase your perception and confirm whether there are other people around you.
