The road is covered with loess, and the newly stepped horse hoof prints are extremely clear, and you can see where they are going without much identification.
The group of people followed the horse's hoof prints and chased them. After running for five or six miles, the horse's hoof prints suddenly disappeared.
Zhao Feiyong reined in his horse, jumped off and looked at the road carefully. There were some weeds on the roadside, which were not very high. Next to it was a thorn bush and a dense forest.
The clouds have blocked the sun, and the dense forests on both sides of the road are mixed together, making the light even darker. A cool breeze blows from the dense forest, which makes people feel a little chilly when it blows on them.
Everyone dismounted, and Shen Junzhuo followed Shu Yao below. Shu Yao got off the horse, carrying her cloak and skirt, and followed them to look for traces.
The ground was scraped by branches, and the original imprints had disappeared. I could only look for clues carefully.
A small yellow wild flower was lying on the ground, blooming feebly. Shu Yao looked over it, and was about to look away when she suddenly thought of something and looked back again. She saw that there was obviously more dust next to the little flower than in other places.
She took another step forward, pushed through the thorns, and saw an earring hanging on the thorn. She was shocked, reached out to pick it up, and looked at it carefully in her hand. She vaguely remembered that Qiu Shuang seemed to have such a pair of earrings!
Shen Junzhuo didn't know when he came behind her, looked at the things in her hands, pointed to the front, and said:
"Chase!"
Everyone hurriedly pushed aside the thorns, and there were indeed footprints behind the thorns!
Just walking among thorns, Shu Yao's clothes are not very convenient. Shen Junzhuo thought for a while and said:
"Let them search forward. It won't be too far. Let's go there when we find it."
Shu Yao looked at the dense forest. She had never walked in such a place before. Just looking at the messy branches and sharp thorns, she knew it would be difficult to walk. Anyway, it wouldn't be too far away, so she agreed.
Zhao Feiyong led the people to explore inside bit by bit, going farther and farther, and in the end they could no longer be seen. Shu Yao was a little worried, looked inside, and said:
"Is nothing going to happen?"
Shen Junzhuo didn't care and said:
"They are all elites in the Forbidden Army. Even if they encounter a big insect, it will be no problem. If they can't subdue a bandit, then there is no need to stay in the Forbidden Army."
Shu Yao was thinking in her mind, how powerful is this person next to her? He said he would use the imperial army and he did so, and the ones he brought out were elite. Just as he was thinking about it, he heard him suddenly shout:
"Who's there?"
She followed his gaze and saw that the thorn bush seemed to be blowing by the wind and swaying slightly. She was still surprised when suddenly an arrow shot out from it and flew straight towards Shen Junzhuo!
Without thinking, she immediately turned around and rushed towards him to block the arrow for him. There was a flash of cold light around her and a clang, but it was Shen Junzhuo who drew his sword and blocked the arrow, and she blocked Shen Junzhuo's arrow.
Hug me full.
After a moment of spinning, Shen Junzhuo picked her up with one hand and turned her behind him. He then picked up a powerful bow from his waist. As soon as he said it, he shot out three arrows in unison.
Towards the thorn bush.
The thorn bush shook violently, and a muffled groan came from inside. Shen Junzhuo set three more arrows, looked over there with disdain, and said:
"Come out, or you will die!"
The thorn bushes were quiet for a while, then a long knife suddenly flashed out and split the grass with a few blows. Only then did Shu Yao see the person behind him. It was indeed the "second brother"! Just looking down, he saw his hand.
