The first thousand three hundred and seventy-six chapters
Chapter 1,376: There is no perfect path for man
"Shhhhh!"
Cold sweat dripped from Guo Jia's forehead. He grabbed the torch and kept waving it. The three wild wolves in front also moved forward and sometimes backward in response to the waving of the fire. They seemed to be in no hurry to attack Guo Jia.
"Tsk...a bunch of beasts...if I, Guo Jia, really die here today, I will drag you down as a ghost!"
Guo Jia usually made all the difference among the merchants in Yecheng, but now he was really driven to panic by these wild wolves.
Suddenly thinking that what he said was childish and ridiculous, Guo Jia let out a howl unwillingly——
A gust of dark wind blew behind him, which made Guo Jia unable to think about it for a moment... But at this time, the horse seemed to be really frightened and anxious, and broke away from Guo Jia's reins tied to a tree not far away, and only made a sound
Nessing then rushed towards the gap surrounded by several wild wolves.
The vigorous wild wolf immediately jumped to the side, dodged the collision of the horse, and then quickly followed behind it - in a blink of an eye, only two of the wolves were left guarding Guo Jia.
At this time, Guo Jia was frightened by the horse's riot. A moment ago, he was thinking that everything was over...Without the horse, not to mention going to Wancheng to report the news, he even thought about whether he could cross Qianshan on foot.
A dense mountain forest is a huge problem.
But soon, Guo Jia was stimulated by the scene in front of him again...
"I...what am I thinking?
There is wind behind you, what does that mean?"
At this moment, Guo Jia realized two things.
first…
Regardless of whether to report the news or not, the most important thing at the moment is to save his life first - the two wild wolves seem to be much less of a threat, and the horse's escape has indeed relieved Guo Jia's pressure.
in addition…
If the cold wind blowing behind him just now was not his illusion, it means - there is an exit, or in other words, there is a hole!
As expected, there is always a way, and after calmly analyzing that his combat power might not even be able to subdue a wolf, Guo Jia quickly raised his head and looked at the cliff behind him.
And less than half an arm's distance from his head, a hidden cave entrance covered by weeds and gravel suddenly appeared in front of him.
There is a cave entrance, this distance and this almost vertical angle are enough to ensure that these wild wolves cannot touch it.
if only…
As long as you can climb up.
Finally, at this time, the intellectual gap between humans and animals is clearly revealed.
Guo Jia gently leaned down and reached forward with a torch. He seemed to know that they were lacking a lot of fighting power, so the two wild wolves cautiously took two steps back.
Seeing this opportunity, Guo Jia retrieved his luggage with one hand and threw the torch in his hand at the same time.
The two wild wolves were frightened and jumped back quickly. However, when they discovered that Guo Jia had no intention of attacking them, but turned around and climbed up the cliff behind them, they seemed to be angry and got angry.
He rushed towards Guo Jia again like crazy.
But at this time, Guo Jia had successfully climbed to the entrance of the cave, looking at the two wild wolves below him that were furious and powerless for the rest of his life.
"Haha...hahahaha! If you want to eat me...it's a little early!"
Guo Jia may have never experienced such an exciting day in his life. He grabbed the small gravel near the entrance of the cave and threw it at the wild wolf that kept jumping and clawing at the stone wall below.
Soon the two wild wolves realized that they had failed.
Under Guo Jia's tireless throwing of stones, the two wild wolves quickly fled the scene... Not long after, the tragic neighing of horses was heard in the distance, signaling the end of everything.
Somehow, the wild wolf left and Guo Jia slowly calmed down.
He sat weakly at the entrance of the cave, leaning against the slightly damp wall, holding his luggage in his arms.
Among the luggage was the evidence he collected that could definitely identify Sima Yi as being suspected of killing an army lieutenant - a blood-stained dagger with the family crest of the Hanoi Sima family on it.
Sima Yi thought he was doing it very covertly, but without exception, Guo Jia had seen the scene of the two soldiers who entered the city one after another to report the military situation and convey the orders - even one of them was too thirsty at the time.
While borrowing tea from a roadside teahouse, I exchanged a few sentences with Guo Jia.
This also became an opportunity for Guo Jia to discover Sima Yi's secret.
Guo Jia did not see the murder scene with his own eyes, but because he was dressed too ordinary near the teahouse at the time, he was regarded as an ordinary passerby when Sima Yi came to bribe him. After noticing the suspicion, in the next few days, Guo Jia
After peeling off the cocoons, we finally discovered the scene where the tragedy occurred...
The dagger was secretly saved by Guo Jia before Sima Yi sent people to deal with the scene.
To be honest, a well-trained personal guard would never ignore the loss of a dagger engraved with the family crest, but Guo Jia estimated that the reason why Sima Yi did not search the whole city and gave himself a chance to escape was probably because
The personal guard was also afraid that if this matter was exposed, he would be reprimanded and punished by Sima Yi, right?
In short, with the blessing of various factors, Guo Jia finally discovered the insidious and even unforgivable sinister intentions of Cao Pi and Sima Yi.
"But…"
"Can I still get out alive..."
Guo Jia murmured to himself, but no one could answer him.
The entrance of the cave is not considered narrow, and because there is wind blowing from the entrance of the cave, if nothing unexpected happens, the entrance of the cave should be connected to an exit somewhere in the mountain... Even if the group of wild wolves still linger in the future, Guo Jia will be able to escape safely.
grasp.
But that’s not what he was worried about at all——
Without the horse... there is still a hundred miles to go, is it possible that I have to walk there?
The key point is that nearly half of the hundred-mile road was in the dense mountain forest area as it is now. He escaped danger once, but will he have such luck again?
The future was uncertain for a while, and Guo Jia finally became depressed.
The road was his choice, and he didn't want to complain about the accidents he encountered along the way.
Fortunately, he chose to take the long way around. Otherwise, given the speed of Sima Yi and others who had arrived at the north shore of the dive at the same time, he would have been overtaken and killed by them halfway.
What we are experiencing now is a blessing among misfortunes.
It was useless to talk more. Guo Guo felt physically exhausted and finally couldn't hold on anymore. He fell asleep in a daze and had to rush early in the morning... Even if he really used his legs, he still had to pass the news to Yi Xiaotian. This was
It was his duty, so he never looked back.
——
Of course, Yi Xiaotian didn't know that Guo Jia was coming towards him that day.
And time went back to the time when Yi Xiaotian finally broke through the east gate of Anhui City with the help of his troops that had been hidden for a long time, but was blocked by the enemy in the inner city.
Yi Xiaotian stared silently in the direction of Jiang Xia in front of the distant military formation. Not only was he worried about Cao Ren's situation, but according to Zhao Yun, it won't take long, perhaps at some point today, the enemy's reinforcements will arrive.
Wancheng, by then, even if Yi Xiaotian can conjure dozens more grenades out of thin air, he probably won't be able to stop Liu Bei's army from retreating.
Then the plan to encircle and suppress the opponent will be declared a complete failure.
At this moment... suddenly there was a loud noise outside the east gate of Wancheng, attracting the attention of everyone present.
"What time is this?"
Yi Xiaotian asked quickly.
It seems...if the count is correct, this should be the sound of Zhang Liao's last grenade.
