380 run quickly
As the saying goes, the flag is for pouring. As soon as Mr. Wu finished saying that, Xu Yue felt ominous. The next second, Xu Dalang, who was lying in the carriage to catch up on his sleep, moved his ears slightly and sat up in a hurry.
Hearing the movement in the carriage, Xu Yue and others all looked at the carriage.
Xu Dalang got out of it, with a serious expression on his face, "It seems like someone is coming!"
He listened carefully for a moment and frowned, "In the southeast and southwest directions, there are four to five hundred people on one side and seven or eight hundred people on the other side."
Hearing this, Mr. Wu, who was still discussing whether to go to Juyong County with him, his heart skipped a beat, "Master Xu, did you hear that correctly?"
He held his breath and listened carefully, but heard nothing except the gurgling sound of water by the river.
But Xu Yue and others knew that Xu Dalang would never speak nonsense or hear wrongly. Because he never heard wrongly!
"Are the Wuhuan people chasing after them now? This is unlikely..." Wang Pingping murmured in surprise.
At this time, Xu Dalang felt that the voice was getting closer and was running in their direction. He hurriedly stretched out his hand to Xu Yue and shouted urgently:
"Young lady, get in the car, we're leaving now!"
Xu Yue heard nothing, but seeing her brother in such a hurry, she subconsciously chose to believe it. She looked at Xu Erniang, and the two sisters quickly put away all the pots and pans they had just laid out.
Boss Wu's caravan ran away all night and finally found a moment of respite. In addition, they could not hear any movement, so they were skeptical of Xu Dalang's reaction and did not want to get up at all.
"Hurry up!" Xu Dalang was anxious. They didn't have horses. If something happened, they wouldn't be able to run fast.
These were not dozens, but more than a thousand people. Just by hearing the movement, he knew that this was no ordinary team. Even if he was strong, he might not be able to protect the whole family from escaping safely.
At most, he can only bring two younger sisters with him.
A Niang's speed was not fast enough, but Xu Da was okay. Xu Dalang didn't worry about being unable to do anything, and his old father, who ran first, would be left behind.
"Really?" Boss Wu looked hesitant, "Master Xu, did you really hear it..."
"No!" Before Brother Wu could finish his words, Xu Dabao shouted, "Brother Wu, are you leaving? We have to leave first!"
After saying this, he grabbed Wang Pingping, who was still looking at the caravan camp, and got on the carriage.
Xu Yue and Xu Erniang had already sat in the car. As soon as Xu Da and Wang Pingping got on the car, Xu Dalang flicked his whip, turned around and drove towards the north.
This river is located next to a crossroads. To the west is the official road to Juyong County, and to the east is the direction of the village. If the noise Xu Dalang heard really came from the southeast and southwest, then he can only go north
If you go in the direction of mountains and forests, you won't run into that large army.
There was no decent road to the north. As Mr. Wu watched the Xu family's chariot rushing towards the mountains and forests, he subconsciously worried about them. If they wanted to enter the mountains and forests, the carriage would inevitably be abandoned.
The businessman values money, but feels unable to part with the goods.
But to Xu Yue's family, nothing is more important than life.
If the carriage is lost, it can be found again, but if their great cause is lost, they will die before they leave, and the middle road will collapse.
It is impossible for Mr. Wu to remain unaffected by such an overly cautious attitude.
He recalled the many actions of the Xu family along the way, as well as the strength of the five people who selected twenty-eight Wuhuan people yesterday. Finally, he thought about the family's move last night to leave without hesitation. Boss Wu
He gritted his teeth and yelled towards the camp:
"Mr. Xu's family is not an ordinary person, let's follow them!"
Everyone in the caravan was so drowsy at this roar that some of them were timid and nodded and agreed.
People follow the herd. When most people think something is feasible, the remaining few people will involuntarily move closer to the majority.
"Rumble, rumble," the thunderous sound of rolling horse hooves suddenly came, drowning out the sound of gurgling water, and clearly reaching the ears of everyone in the caravan.
Boss Wu turned around in surprise and saw thick dust and smoke suddenly flying in the air to the south. A black flag with a wolf on its face and its teeth and claws billowing in the smoke was vaguely visible.
This is not the flag of the Daqing border army, but the military flag of the Xianbei left tribe and the Yehe King tribe.
Boss Wu has been traveling to the north for business all year round and has a certain understanding of the current powerful tribal forces in Xianbei.
This King Yehe is one of the most favored princes of Xianbei Chanyu now. He is brave and good at fighting, and he is a ruthless character.
As soon as he saw the evil wolf flag, Boss Wu's heart dropped.
Looking back on what happened yesterday, and looking at this elite Xianbei force, it was hard for Boss Wu not to suspect that these were the pursuers led by the Wuhuan people to hunt them down.
"Throw away the carriage and run away!!!"
Boss Wu roared, drew his sword and cut off the connecting belt between the truck and the horse, got on his horse, and led his ashen-faced companions in pursuit in the direction where the Xu family left.
But their reaction was too late after all. The ground in Ning County was flat and it was difficult to see the mountain peaks. Every move of the people by the river had already been seen by the Xianbei cavalry.
"Prince, it seems to be a caravan." The subordinate reported in surprise as if he had discovered gold.
The tall man riding on the black horse stared at the prey that was about to run away like a wolf, and smiled coldly,
"Run away when you see this king. What a bunch of rude people. Fortunately, these people from the Central Plains claim to be a country of etiquette. We chase them and let us Xianbei warriors teach them what etiquette is!"
"As you command!"
A group of Xianbei cavalry roared and chased after them. Boss Wu and others looked back and saw that the light of the sword reflected an icy light under the rising sun, making them break out in cold sweat.
Looking down from a high place, the cavalry were pouring in. Boss Wu and others were like stumbling little chickens, and the distance between the two sides was getting closer and closer.
The Xianbei soldiers looked at these frightened Central Plains people and laughed out loud.
One of them aimed at the businessman at the end of the crane, took out a bow and arrow from behind, bent the bow and aimed at the businessman's back. Like chasing a desperate little white rabbit, he slowly shot an arrow with a "whoosh".
The businessman was so horrified that he crouched on his horse and closed his eyes in horror.
A sharp sound of "Dang!" sounded above his head. The businessman thought he was going to die, but unexpectedly, the pain he expected from being hit by an arrow did not come.
"Eh?" The Xianbei cavalryman who was shooting arrows raised his eyebrows in surprise. He looked at the arrow that was shot down by another arrow and looked towards the forest ahead in surprise.
The businessman who thought he was certain to die finally realized something was wrong. When he opened his eyes, he saw that the Xu family, who had already run away, were standing in front of the forest in front of them.
And Wang Pingping, holding a divine arm bow, stood on the roof of the carriage and took aim.
