Qin Jiyan and Gu Qiancheng stayed in the cave for three days. It wasn't until Gu Qiancheng was completely fine that Qin Jiyan agreed to leave. This also missed the best time to escape, making the road they left even more difficult.
"Do we have to take him away?" Looking at the secret agent leader who was lying in a heap on the ground with only one breath left, Gu Qiancheng expressed that she really wanted to leave him behind.
It's snowing heavily outside, and the snow is waist-deep. It's already very difficult to go out on your own. Now you have to take a half-dead old man with you. It's simply impossible to survive.
"I gave the impression to the people of Xihu that I would not hesitate to risk my life and go deep into the West Prison to save him. Do you think I can leave him behind?" Even if I want to leave him, I can't leave him here.
"Then we can only bring it with us." The whole show needs to be done, and since Qin Jiyan started it, they couldn't give up halfway.
"This place is very close to Bingcheng. Just throw him to Bingcheng when the time comes." Qin Jiyan chose to go in this direction. In addition to the complicated roads in the mountains, it was more so that he could drop the spy leader smoothly.
, so that the Xihu people cannot find him in a short time.
As a drag, Gu Qiancheng had no objection and did not dare to have any objection. If it weren't for her, Qin Jiyan would have left Xihu long ago.
It had been snowing heavily for three days and three nights, and it stopped before Gu Qiancheng and Qin Jiyan set off. However, the road under their feet was completely covered with snow, and they had no idea where it was safe and where it was dangerous. And that wasn't enough.
The most troublesome thing is that there is a vast expanse of white everywhere, and it is impossible to tell the direction. And if you look at one place for a long time, your head will get dizzy.
"Do you know the direction?" Gu Qiancheng stood at the entrance of the cave and looked around for a long time, but he couldn't tell the difference between east, west and north.
She is not a road idiot, but she is no better than a road idiot at this time.
"How can I lose you?" Qin Jiyan was naturally prepared if he dared to leave. After looking left and right at the entrance of the cave for a moment, Qin Jiyan was able to determine the direction, but...
The snow is too thick. If they step directly on the snow, they will definitely leave deep marks. And if the snow stops, there will be nothing to cover their marks. If they are not careful, the Xihu people will soon discover them.
traces.
"I'll carry you." Qin Jiyan said without thinking.
"You are carrying him and you are carrying him, are you okay?" Gu Qiancheng expressed doubts. Qin Jiyan's face turned dark immediately and asked him directly if it was okay. Can he say no?
A stupid woman who can't speak.
"I can take you out of the city, and I can also take you out of Xihu." It's not the first time I've recited this, so I'm being pretentious.
"I absolutely believe that you can take me out of Xihu." Gu Qiancheng knew that Qin Jiyan would definitely do what he said, but it was a little uncomfortable to have Qin Jiyan carry it when he was sober. She had not been raped since she was a child.
People have done it wrong, but Qin Jiyan's case was an exception.
Sensing Gu Qiancheng's discomfort, Qin Jiyan added: "We can't stay any longer. The people in Xihu haven't found our whereabouts inside and outside the city, so they will definitely look for us in the barren mountains and woods."
Having said that, Gu Qiancheng could only accept his fate and lie on Qin Jiyan's back, letting Qin Jiyan carry her away.
With one on his back and another in his hand, Qin Jiyan's speed must be much slower. He cannot come and go as fast as lightning and as light as a swallow like before. Snowflakes will fall and branches will be broken on the road that cannot be avoided.
And this will leave clues for the pursuers.
Qin Jiyan knew it, but he had no choice. There was no one around him, and he had no way to stay and deal with these traces. He could only leave as soon as possible and leave this secret forest before the pursuers found him.
Qin Jiyan's guess was correct. After An Tong and his men failed to find Qin Jiyan's whereabouts inside and outside the city, they began to go back to the barren mountains and forests to search. After searching for two days and two nights in the barren mountains and forests, An Tong and his men came to Tong.
Towards the secret forest of Bingcheng.
This forest is lush with trees, and there are many ferocious beasts and poisonous animals on the mountain. Very few people go into the mountain at ordinary times. When the mountain is blocked by heavy snow, it is even impossible to walk even a step. It is easy to get lost when you walk in. Unless you are going to the Ice City, most people don't.
Will set foot here.
The officials originally did not want to enter the mountain, but An Tong forced everyone to search the mountain. The reason was that the road was difficult to walk. Although it was dangerous for the fugitives to hide inside, it was safe. Especially after the mountain was closed by heavy snow, ordinary people could not enter.
It's better to walk inside.
Under the violent pressure of An Tong, the officials did not dare to show their dissatisfaction. Three days passed, and they did not find any fugitives. Both An Tong and they were under great pressure. Now there is hope in front of them.
good.
The officer cheered up and shoveled the snow all the way, carrying a shovel, sled and other things, trying his best to open a path. Although the speed was slow, the effect was gratifying, especially when the forward discovered that there was a cave in front and the cave wall was still hot.
The officials were even more energetic.
"Captain Yang of the Northern Qi Dynasty must be here. One of the four carriages that ran away at that time went in this direction. But we didn't expect that he entered the secret forest halfway. We chased him for a whole day, but in the end we only caught him.
An empty car."
After three days of searching, we finally found the trace. Each of the officials seemed to have been given a shot of blood, and their previous depression and depression were gone, as if they had made a great contribution.
The truth is not far from the truth, because it is not easy to hide traces in the snow. As long as they follow the traces and search downwards, they can always find the person.
"Look around to see which direction they ran." An Tong's eyes were shining. In the past three days, he only dared to sleep quietly when he was extremely tired and sleepy. The rest of the time, he was looking for people everywhere.
He was in charge of Tianlao, but all the prisoners in Tianlao were lost in his hands. If none of them could be recovered, he would not have to live anymore. An Tong did not seek meritorious service, but only hoped that the emperor's anger would be lessened afterwards.
The outposts looked around, not missing any small detail. They soon discovered that there were a few clusters of snowflakes scattered in the northwest. Looking up, they found that the ends of the branches seemed to have been rubbed by someone.
"General, we found it, this way." The sentry shouted excitedly, and following his pointing, several other sentries also found traces in this direction.
"They're heading this way."
"This direction is the Ice City. They ran towards the Ice City." The safest place in this dense forest is the Ice City, but entering the Ice City is a dead end.
"Get the sled and chase..." An Tong's eyes lit up and he ordered without thinking.
The official who opened the way immediately stepped back and let the team carrying the sleds come forward. Watch them place the sleds on the snow, and then two people would move forward quickly...
Soon, there were fewer and fewer guards in front of the cave, and in the end only a hundred or so were left behind. However, they were not idle either. They spread out around the cave as the center, and at the same time sent out signals to request reinforcements.
They will use troops to block all exits from the secret forest. By then, no matter whether the Northern Qi people are in the forest or out of the forest, there will be only one way to die...
This time, they must take the prisoner back, otherwise they will be the ones who die!
