About half an hour after Nan Yanxi left, the rumble of the cavalry arrived at the gate of Fanjiangmen.
There were about two hundred people, forty or fifty of them were dressed as police officers, and the rest were all dressed in the same Daxia army uniforms as the Yuzhou Army.
The leader was dressed as a military general and carried a long sword.
This broadsword is extremely exquisite. The blade is covered with strange patterns and glows with a faint blue light in the sunlight.
There are nine copper rings inlaid on the back of the sword, which make a clattering sound when it dances.
The man led the crowd to the gate of Fanjiangmen Mountain, reined in the horses' hooves, and waved his hand toward the gate.
A man dressed as a head catcher immediately rushed out from the team, leading a dozen or so agents, smashing open the mountain gate and rushing inside.
After about a cup of tea, everyone ran back again.
The catcher raised his hands to the leader and said, "Report to the general, there is no one inside the mountain gate!"
"All the valuable items were taken away."
This general is called Wang Zhizhong, and he is the military commander of Jinnan County.
Wang Baozheng, who was chopped into dumpling fillings last night, was his uncle.
He led his army to come here in person at this moment, of course to avenge his uncle!
Moreover, the emperor's brother-in-law died tragically. If the murderer cannot be caught and brought to justice as soon as possible, he himself will not be able to escape the blame!
Wang Zhizhong frowned and waved his hand: "Check!"
"Yes!" The catcher agreed hastily and ordered his men to disperse.
After another cup of tea, a police officer came to report that although there were some horse hoof prints and ruts on the road to the east, it was very blurry.
But the one to the north is very obvious, and the property stolen from the Hou Mansion was found on the road.
The arrester hurriedly reported to Wang Zhizhonghui: "General, the thief must have gone north."
"Look at this gold ingot. I picked it up from the grass on the roadside on the north side. It's official at first glance."
With that said, he handed over the gold ingot he picked up.
Wang Zhizhong reached out to take it, and said thoughtfully: "Those thieves ransacked the Hou Mansion, which shows that they are very greedy for money."
"They must be reluctant to use this gold ingot as bait. They must have dropped it when they fled in a hurry."
Then, he waved the long sword in his hand and shouted: "Chase north at full speed! Don't let the thief escape!"
"Yes! Drive!" the soldier behind him agreed, and the mighty cavalry headed north!
By this time, Nan Yanxi had already run out for more than forty miles.
When we were about to leave, we were worried about being seen by passers-by on the road. If the pursuers behind us asked, the secret would easily be exposed.
Nan Yanxi asked everyone to go out and kill many straw men.
Put on your clothes and stand on the carriage. It really looks like that when you are far away.
Nan Yanxi stood on the carriage, holding a long whip in one hand and a knife in the other.
Whenever you meet a mountain man passing by on the road, he will open his mouth and curse: "What are you looking at! Turn around and don't look! Be careful, I will chop you to death!"
Seeing his bandit behavior, everyone turned away in fright.
When you turn back again, you can see the back of the motorcade in the distance.
It seemed to be pulling a lot of goods and people.
The soldiers and horses pursuing him asked several passers-by along the way, and all received affirmative answers.
The leading general Wang Zhizhong fell into the trap and shouted back: "Whoever catches up with the thief first will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver!"
A group of soldiers and horses chased more energetically, running forward happily, like a horse racing meeting!
However, no matter how fast they pursued, the army had to stop at every fork in the road to identify and investigate, which wasted a lot of time.
But Nan Yanxi did as he pleased and just headed north.
The two sides chased and escaped, and two hours passed before they knew it.
After careful calculation, it is estimated that Li Jingmo and others will be able to reach Yuzhou City in one hour at most.
Even if the group of people behind them knew that they were chasing the wrong person and turned around and went back, it would probably be too late.
Nan Yanxi turned around and smiled with satisfaction, her mission was completed.
After running forward for a while, the road ahead slowly began to narrow.
This place is deserted, the road is about half a foot higher than the land on both sides, and there are woods below.
If the road here is blocked, the cavalry of the brigade will really not be able to get through in a short time.
Nan Yanxi smiled evilly and immediately pulled the reins to stop the convoy.
He turned over and jumped out of the carriage, first unhooked his black dragon and took it aside.
Then he directed the two carriages to cross to the middle of the road.
The narrow road was blocked tightly.
After doing this, Nan Yanxi untied the eight or nine draft horses, donkeys and mules.
By the way, the halters and bits that had been with them for most of their lives were also removed.
Patting their heads gently, Nan Yanxi smiled and said: "Okay! Thank you for accompanying me on this trip. Go! You are free!"
The animals seemed to understand what he said and shook their heads at him.
Then they swung their tails happily and walked into the depths of the woods in groups.
Nan Yanxi smiled faintly and shouted at their backs: "You must live well! Hahaha..."
After saying that, he turned around and took out the kerosene cans from the cart, and filled the two carriages and the wooden figures they were pulling with kerosene.
At this time, Nan Yanxi could vaguely hear the clatter of horse hooves behind her.
Not daring to delay any longer, he quickly took out the huozhezi from his arms and threw it towards the carriage dripping with kerosene.
The small flame was fueled by kerosene and hay.
A "hoo" sound came out more than ten feet high, even attracting the trees on both sides of the road.
Nan Yanxi took two steps back, turned over and mounted the black dragon, clamped the horse's belly with her legs, and flew forward!
At this time, the pursuers behind him arrived and only saw the back of Nan Yanxi riding away alone!
Looking at the scene in front of me again, no matter how stupid a person is, he will understand.
Wang Zhizhong shouted bitterly: "Damn it! You've been fooled! You damn little thief!"
"What should we do, General? How about we turn around and pursue him?" A soldier asked anxiously.
"Stupid pig!" Wang Zhizhong scolded angrily: "We have chased him so far. If we go back, those people will have disappeared long ago!"
"This man must be an important figure among the thieves. If you catch him, you won't have to worry about finding his accomplices!"
"Come on! Remove this roadblock!"
"Yes!" The sergeants on both sides agreed.
But the fire was burning so fiercely that it was impossible to move forward.
The raging fire directly ignited the woods on both sides.
The horses under the seats were afraid of fire and began to retreat one after another.
It took the sergeants a long time to move the burning carriage away.
Make that Wang Zhizhong howl anxiously!
And Nan Yanxi has already run out a long way away!
One person and one horse ran forward, and Nan Yanxi began to think about the next step.
After careful calculation, the black dragon under my crotch has been running for a full three hours from Fanjiangmen to now, almost without stopping.
Even if there is still some energy left, I probably won't be able to hold on for long.
You have to make plans in advance. Why not go ahead and see if there is a market.
Feel free to buy another horse for a ride and let the black dragon rest.
After all, without the more than 100 kilograms on my back, I can still regain my strength even if I jog along with myself.
With this thought in his mind, he spurred his horse forward and ran forward for about two miles.
A group of people suddenly appeared in front.
There were about fifty or sixty people, dressed as servants, walking slowly northward.
The leader was a young man who looked like a young man, riding a yellow horse and waving his folding fan leisurely.
All the servants behind him were on foot, and a middle-aged man who looked like a butler followed behind him.
While holding the reins of the young master, he urged: "Master! Let's go back soon... If we go any further, we will soon leave our Qingzhou border!"
"Oh, can I go back later?"
The young master was so unhappy: "I finally went out to hunt, but I didn't catch anything! It's not enough, it's not enough!"
"I just told you to bring more feathered arrows! It's better now. What's the use of just leaving a broken bow!"
