Chapter 158: Thinking of countermeasures after crossing the border
"Stop him quickly!" No matter who the other party was, Song Feng's first reaction was that he was here to seek revenge.
Perhaps because they were concerned about the emperor's order, the martial arts warriors around Song Feng were not of high level. Although several of them had taken out their weapons, they were still not sure they could stop the hard-horned beast that was galloping towards him.
"Master, you go over there and hide for a while!" These guards of the Song family were not fools. They immediately asked Song Feng to run to Hufeng Pass to hide for a while. After all, there were some defensive facilities in front of the pass, such as antlers and the like.
, able to block the impact of the hard-horned beast.
But before Song Feng could take action, the hard-horned beast had already arrived, and Song Feng could clearly see Shi Mang above him. After all, they were all students of the same academy, and Shi Mang was somewhat famous.
"Shi Mang? Why is this guy back?" Song Feng was very surprised. After all, he knew what happened before and after Zhanyung Pass. The sudden appearance of this Shi Mang made him stunned for a moment.
However, he didn't expect that Shi Mang just used him as a cover and had no intention of treating him as a target. He saw the hard-horned beast turning around two feet in front of Song Feng, and then rushed directly towards him.
Hufeng Pass.
The soldiers guarding Hufeng Pass were ready to watch a good show. Unexpectedly, the hard-horned beast actually dodged past Song Feng and came directly towards them. The guard captain immediately pulled out his sword, and a ray of true spirit flashed past.
, a blazing flame immediately stretched across the road in front of the pass, blocking the direction of the hard-horned beast.
Unexpectedly, Shi Mang shot the hard-horned beast without hesitation. The hard-horned beast, which was already in pain, became even more violent. It was not afraid even in the face of fire. After all, relatively speaking, his own
My life is still in the hands of the person on my back.
The hard-horned beast passed directly through the fire and went straight to the door. Shi Mang was lucky. The guard captain was only a fire element warrior. If there was a person from the wood, water or earth element present, this hard-horned beast would
It couldn't rush through at all, but unfortunately after the hard-horned beast ignored the flames, there was nothing that could stop it from running.
With a burst of green smoke, Shi Mang sat on the back of the hard-horned beast and rushed out of Hufeng Pass. The guards behind him immediately pursued him. No one knew who Shi Mang was. If he was a repeat offender,
, their sin is huge.
The guard captain immediately divided his troops into two groups, chasing the hard-horned beast all the way, and surrounding Song Feng all the way. After all, the people on the hard-horned beast knew Song Feng, and it seemed that Song Feng also knew the other party. No one knew.
Is this Song Feng here to cover their escape?
As low-level guards, it is naturally impossible to know the intentions of the higher-ups. These guards only know the emperor's orders. Although they may have neglected their duties in some small things, they are absolutely impossible to let go of big things. After all, this is to take
Use your own brain to do things.
The hard-horned beast, which was in great pain, raised its four hooves and ran quickly. The distance to Hufeng Pass was getting farther and farther. However, he still did not see Jin Ruofeng's figure. He immediately became anxious. Logically speaking, Song Feng's people could not possibly
This is so fast!
"Why did you rush over here?" A sentence immediately reached Shi Mang's ears. He raised his head and looked in the direction of the sound, only to see Jin Ruofeng standing on the hillside nearby.
"Song Feng is also on the pass. He sent a few people to catch you!" Shi Mang jumped off the hard-horned beast, and then fired another shot. The hard-horned beast immediately rushed out and quickly disappeared from sight.
Jin Ruofeng took Shi Mang to the top of the hillside, pointed to a place not far from Hufeng Pass and said, "Is it them?"
"right!"
"Let's go!" Jin Ruofeng said nothing, dragging Shi Mang and disappearing into the nearby forest.
Shi Mang asked a little strangely: "Why don't we destroy them so that we can avoid being afraid?"
"No need!" Jin Ruofeng sighed and said, "Song Lin and Lin Mu still don't know what the situation is, so we'd better not add fuel to the fire!"
Lin Mu, Song Lin, and Shi Mang couldn't react for a while.
"You mean there might be something going on between the two of them?" Shi Mang asked, the surprise on his face was the same as when Jin Ruofeng saw the note.
"Yes! The Lin family suffered very little damage this time, mainly due to Song Lin. Although Song Kangtai contributed to the emperor's destruction of the Five Great Halls, Song Lin is Song Lin after all, and it is very likely that she will be accepted by the Lin family!"
"My God, this is really unbelievable. These two families are world enemies!"
"There are no permanent friends in this world, and naturally there are no permanent enemies. Now that the Five Great Schools have been destroyed, the only ones that still have a little bit of strength are the aristocratic families. Although Song Kangtai has set such a great foundation for the emperor.
Thanks to the credit, even in certain matters, the emperor will resolutely abandon the Song family!"
The two of them hid in some bushes by the roadside and watched a group of cavalry passing by quickly, apparently chasing Shi Mang.
Jin Ruofeng and Shi Mang quietly left the road and entered the nearby mountains and forests. They were only a few hundred steps away from the road leading to the northwest Zhiming Mountain. However, even at this distance, the cavalry team could not find it.
of.
After a moment of burning incense, the two of them saw a dozen cavalrymen retreating dejectedly. Behind the team, the bloody horned beast was being led slowly by a few soldiers.
At this time, the guard captain also came out. When he saw his subordinates leading the hard-horned beast back, he knew what had happened. He looked carefully at the injuries on the hard-horned beast and saw a faint earthy aura mixed with it.
in.
"It's an earth-type guy. It seems that it's not easy to catch him!" The guard captain looked at the surrounding mountains. If he wanted to find an earth-type warrior in this dense mountain forest, it would be harder than climbing to the sky. The key is
We still don't know where they escaped. The area is too large and Hufeng Pass does not have enough troops to do this.
"That guy's name is Shi Mang. He is a former student of Zhenyun Academy. He is a fourth-level warrior of the earth element. Although the earth element has no bright spots in battle, this Shi Mang is still very talented and has good strength!
"Song Feng spoke carefully to the guard captain about Jin Ruofeng and Shi Mang.
The Hufeng Pass garrison heard that these two people were students of the Zhenyun Academy, and that one of them, Jin Ruofeng, had also participated in the Divine Realm Listening. This kind of person was definitely something the emperor had to be wary of.
But now it's no longer fun, Jin Ruofeng and Shi Mang have long disappeared, and the emperor's order to Hufeng Pass is to watch the west gate, and there is really no manpower available to pursue such a thing.
Song Feng immediately volunteered to go and capture Jin Ruofeng. After hearing this, the defenders at Hufeng Pass were also very happy. After all, Song Feng's father was Song Kangtai. Although the family had declined, the family still occupied the entire city.
The main source of power in the capital, and Song Kangtai is currently a popular figure in front of the emperor. The Song family may be the only well-preserved family in this chaos, right?
In half a day, Jin Ruofeng and Shi Mang had left Hufeng Pass thirty miles away, and were standing on the hillside overlooking the avenue. Apart from some lone walkers, there were only streamlined team members on the road. They were walking in groups in twos and threes.
Okay, it seems that they also rehearsed their coordination during the march.
"What a lingering ghost!" The two of them had walked dozens of miles, and unexpectedly saw those few people still slowly searching for Shi Mang's whereabouts.
"It doesn't look like soldiers from Hufengguan!" Due to the long distance, the two of them could not clearly see each other's identity, so Shi Mang said with some guesses.
Jin Ruofeng nodded: "According to you, that should be a member of the Song family. The Song family is currently very popular with the emperor. I think the people in Hufengguan should give him this face!"
"Not necessarily!" Shi Mang recounted what he saw when he stormed the pass.
Jin Ruofeng shook his head and said: "At this time and at that time, you attacked the pass. For the people at Hufeng Pass, this was a serious dereliction of duty. However, they did not find you. I think Song Feng will definitely take the opportunity to claim credit.
By sending your own people out, you can build a good relationship with the people at Hufeng Pass. After all, the county magistrate is not as good as the current one. The location of Hufeng Pass is important, and the supplies alone are not a small sum!"
"You mean, secretly transporting supplies?" Shi Mang has heard of this kind of thing before. This is a big way to make money. The Song family has been defrauded by Lin Mu so much, so they have to get some subsidies.
What a loss.
"Then let them search there!" Jin Ruofeng opened a map, which he got from Lin Xiaoyuan. Although there is only one major road from Shangjing City to Changfeng City in Juming Mountain, this
A map would allow him to see what was on both sides of the road leading to Changfeng City.
Jin Ruofeng pondered for a while, then pointed at the map and said: "Shi Mang, look here is Hufengguan, and here is Anyin Mountain. The two places are about four hundred miles apart, and there are about twelve inns in between.
The people of the Song family may use these stations to speed up. Based on the distance to Anyin Mountain, if they can't find us, they will probably give up. After all, they don't know where our destination is!"
"Yes, as long as the other party can't find any clues about us, four hundred miles is definitely the maximum limit!"
"Yes, the key point is that after passing Anyin Mountain, the official road is divided into several branches. Even if they have well-trained trackers, they are probably at their wits' end!"
"What should we do now?" Shi Mang looked at the map. Although the two of them were not weak in strength, it was impossible not to leave any clues. After all, under the strict control of Hufeng Pass, there were few people on the official road.
, any whereabouts may be discovered by the other party.
"Wait!" Jin Ruofeng thought for a while and said, "We have plenty of time anyway, so we are not afraid of wasting it with them!"
Shi Mang was stunned for a moment. This idea was really powerful enough. As long as the two of them found a deserted corner to stay for ten days and a half, those members of the Song family would probably have walked back and forth from Anyin Mountain several times.
