"It's not good!" Thief Zhi hurriedly opened the door and came in. Looking at the people in the room, he said with a slightly anxious tone, "Something happened!"
"Tianming and Shaoyu were discovered by Gong Shuqiu who was passing by and were being hunted by the Qin army!"
When everyone heard this, they all stood up with solemn expressions.
The most hot-tempered one hit the table with a big hammer and said in surprise, "What!? They just went out... for a stick of incense? How come they were exposed!?"
He subconsciously asked a question, but immediately realized that Tao Zhi said the reason - he was discovered by Gong Shuqiu who was passing by.
Ah...it turns out to be bad luck, there's nothing more to say.
Gao Jianli was not interested in pursuing responsibility at this time, but asked the most important thing, "How are the two of them now?"
Robber Zhi shook his head, "It's okay for now. Pao Ding used some tricks to help them escape from the siege. However, he doesn't know the whereabouts of the two of them at the moment, and he has no time to worry about anything else. Let's find a way to find them quickly."<
/p>
Snow Girl frowned and continued, "If we go out to find people in person, the risk is too great, and the results may not be good..."
Sledgehammer was so incompetent that he touched the back of his head and made a Xiong Er voice, "What should we do?"
Gao Jianli made a decisive decision, raised his hand and said, "No matter what, nothing will happen to the giant!"
"For the current plan, the only way is to activate the brothers from the espionage department in advance."
"Xiao Zhi, it's up to you to take care of it. Some of the manpower is responsible for finding people, and some of the manpower is responsible for attracting the Qin army's attention and reducing the pressure on Tianming and others."
The Moh family not only has the secret stronghold of Pao Ding in Songhai City, but also has some spies.
This group of people is different from the chefs who have been in business for many years. They just entered the city a few days earlier and lurked.
There is no need for them to hide their identity all the time, nor do they have this ability. It is basically a one-time use. They can be activated when necessary. After activation, they can leave the city and leave the city. If they cannot leave the city, they can continue to hide.
If nothing works...just leave it to fate and see what luck brings.
These manpower were originally meant to coordinate Gao Jianli's important actions at the right time, but now they can only activate part of them in advance for the sake of dawn - this will inevitably cause a purge in the imperial court, causing the part that has not been activated to be affected to a certain extent.<
/p>
Thieves Zhi knew that now they would lose part of their already small strength, but they could only nod.
There was no way, who made Tianming and the others so unlucky that Gong Shuqiu could take one more look at them from across the carriage in the crowd? It was a crime other than war...
………………
"Huh...huh...huh!"
"Huh...huh...huh!"
On the narrow road on the hillside lined with houses, Tianming and Shaoyu were climbing quickly along the long mountain ladder. It could be seen that they were out of breath due to a lot of physical exertion.
A few dozen steps behind them, a small group of Qin soldiers, about ten people, were also climbing along the stairs to chase the two.
The overall structure of Songhai City is very simple, just a rectangular bar sandwiched between mountains and sea, but if you look closely at the internal structure, it is very rich.
There's not much to say about the part near the sea, it's just a criss-crossing straight street.
But on the side of the mountain, there are complex height differences, and the structure of the houses is tighter, spreading all the way up the mountain following the mountain stairs.
Therefore, there are many side roads.
In order to ensure that Tianming and others are not allowed to run away, the Qin army will divide their troops when they encounter a fork in the road, and only ensure a minimum team composition, so the only ones following them now are these few soldiers and crab generals.
There is danger, but it is not imminent because they cannot catch up with Tian Ming and the others for the time being.
Just like at the time of Guancheng City, even the more elite Anxi Zhenjun could not run fast wearing a suit of armor and a long halberd, let alone the behavior of climbing stairs.
And this time they can't throw weapons around.
Last time there was an order not to kill but to arrest, which was a reason to reduce the burden, but this time there is no such a good excuse.
Littering ordnance not only increases their own danger, but also violates military law.
Therefore, although Tianming and Shaoyu were very tired at this time, this team of Qin soldiers were even more uncomfortable and their lungs were about to burst.
However, the elite are elites after all, and their will is perseverance. They can still hold on and not be thrown away, clinging to the two of them.
Tianming turned his head and glanced at Qin Bing below. He was a little shaken by the sudden height difference. He shook his head and turned back to Shaoyu and said:
"I said Shao... Shao Yu, let's not... stop running away. There seem to be only ten people behind us. We should just stop and knock them all down."
"The stairs are endless to climb, and I won't be able to hold on anymore!"
"Huh..." Shao Yu was also out of breath, but still insisted on running away, "No!"
"Those soldiers just dispersed, but they didn't disappear. As we ran, there were only a dozen of them following us. But once we stopped, we got stuck, and soon the dozen turned into dozens or hundreds.
”
"Don't stop, keep running! Look for opportunities...look for opportunities to get rid of them."
"I'm going!" Tianming could only utter a desperate and powerless cry.
It rained all night, so the two of them were running up the mountain in an attempt to get away from the Qin soldiers. At the top of the mountain ladder, a group of soldiers suddenly appeared out of nowhere, and they saw the fleeing soldiers.
The two of them immediately rushed towards the bottom of the mountain.
Tianming and Shaoyu made a quick decision to break out from both sides. As a result, a group of Qin soldiers appeared at the end of the forked roads on both sides.
Good guy, the four directions are directly blocked, there is absolutely no way to escape.
One of Tianming's eyes widened, but the other one shrank. He looked back and forth at the approaching pursuers with a pair of big and small eyes, and asked in a slightly distressed tone:
"Shaoyu, tell me... what should we do?"
Shaoyu didn't say anything, but focused on scanning the surrounding environment back and forth, trying to find a breakthrough.
Additional escape routes... none... none... none!
Except for the forked roads in the four directions, there are only houses built close to each other, and it is difficult to find even a crack in the wall to hide people.
Shaoyu did not give up and continued to seek a breakthrough...
Got it!
"Quick! Lower your body and follow me!"
From the perspective of the Qin soldiers from all four directions, their target suddenly disappeared from their sight.
But they didn't pay much attention to it.
The roads in this poor place are not straight at all, and the difference in level is obvious.
The soldiers blocking Shao Yu Tianming from these four directions could not see their figures clearly, but they were just sure that they were indeed there.
This is enough.
At this moment, he was completely invisible. He probably ran away in a panic and decided to fight in a corner.
It doesn’t matter, it’ll be gone once you’re surrounded...
No... no... why are people gone!?
The four groups of Qin soldiers looked at the empty intersection and couldn't help but look at each other, dumbfounded.
