Zou Jinlin did not dare to fight head-on. He lightly tapped the horse's back, abandoned the horse and retreated quickly! Jiang Di's army behind him was already very close. Zou Jinlin did not want to become the target of Lu Baogen's life, and besides, the opponent was poisoned with a needle.
As long as Jiang Xian comes to his senses, he will surely win.
Lu Baogen didn't mean to fight for his life, that sword move was just a feint. He stepped forward and snatched Zou Jinlin's mount, then immediately hit the horse and ran towards the hill.
Besides, Jiang Xian still underestimated He Qizhou's superb swordsmanship. The strength and coverage of the "Wind Rising" sword energy were far beyond imagination. Although he was forced to drop several feet, his upper body was still under the threat of the opponent's sword energy.
, had no choice but to wave his sleeves to resolve it, and had no time to pay attention to Lu Baogen, who was dealing with Zou Jinlin's sneak attack. When his feet touched the ground, and when he was thinking about whether to chase He Qizhou, who was running away to the west branch, or to turn back to deal with Lu Baogen, he listened to He Qizhou, who was running towards the white horse.
Shouted: "Master, leave quickly!"
Jiang Xian understood that the new emperor's biggest target was He Qizhou. After a flash of thought, he decided to continue chasing He Qizhou. However, before he could catch up two steps, he heard a "whooshing" sound behind him and two more strong winds coming, and he hurriedly stopped.
When he was resolved, he saw two officers from the Military Inspection Division flying towards him, and hurriedly knocked them away. At this time, Lu Baogen had already galloped past on his horse!
Jiang Xian hurriedly slapped Lu Baogen on the horse again!
After Lu Baogen mounted his horse, he ran a few steps quickly, grabbed two stunned military officials, and threw them at Jiang Xian, who was about to pursue He Qizhou. Then his horse flew past, and he caught Jiang Xian in the air on his horse.
With a palm, Jiang Xian's pursuit was finally stopped. He Qizhou had also mounted his horse. One after the other, the two of them quickly ran away to the west. Although the horse that Lu Baogen had snatched from Zou Jinlin was inferior to the snow dragon horse, it was still as good as the other.
The divine horse did not fall too much for a while.
In a blink of an eye, Jiang Di led his men to chase him to the hill. At this time, Jiang Xian had already waited for his mount, while Zou Jinlin stood on the hill without changing his expression and said to Jiang Di: "They are going west, and the ingot has been hit."
He shot me two steel needles, and his strength has declined, let’s catch up quickly!”
"Of course we have to chase him. If Mr. Zou can catch his sword on horseback, they will have nowhere to escape now!" Jiang Xian mocked Zou Jinlin, but after learning He Qizhou's sword skills, he did not dare to chase him.
Too close.
"The lower official's martial arts skills are low, and the Taifu is laughing at him." Zou Jinlin was not ashamed of this.
Shi Lan, who ran up the hill again, shouted: "He Qizhou has obtained the ultimate sword, we can't let him run away!"
"Three adults, let's chase him quickly. We really can't let him become the second Yang Zheng!" Jiang Di asked his men to send two horses to Zou Jinlin and Shi Lan. The four of them led a large group of people towards the two
The figure gradually faded away and continued to chase west.
After chasing for about half a mile, Jiang Di suddenly thought of something and said: "I just saw two people beside He Qizhou. Who is coming? Send a group of troops back to the south road to chase! Beware of anyone running back to Jiangling!"
"Yes!" The well-trained Royal Forest Army immediately separated out a hundred cavalry, returned to the fork, and chased in the direction in which Yang Shan and Lin Chuan were fleeing.
…
"Master, what's wrong with you?" He Qizhou looked back at Lu Baogen and saw a large pool of blood on the old Taoist priest's chest and skirt! He immediately slowed down.
"Don't stop! I was just plotted by someone named Zou, and I had a fight with Jiang Xian. It doesn't matter, the poisonous needle and poisonous blood have been sealed by me. I just need to spend some time to force them out." Lu Baogen said.
Zuo said lightly that in order to control the poisonous needle, he still suffered serious injuries when he fought with Jiang Xian.
He Qizhou naturally noticed Lu Baogen's strange behavior and said, "Master, take a small road back to Zhongnan Mountain, and I will divert them away!"
Lu Baogen said: "You also come with me to Zhongnan Mountain. Jiang Shan will definitely attack Lingxu, Lingyue and the others. We must tell them to run away!"
"Master, Jiang Cong has issued a secret edict asking the King of Jin to attack Jiang Shan. Originally, I wanted to go to Zhongnan Mountain and asked Lingxu and the others to bring their trusted disciples to join the King of Jin."
Lu Baogen said with a smile: "I also have this intention. Since there is a holy intention, it is even better. Let's go to Zhongnan Mountain to rectify the troops and rebel against Jiang Shan!"
He Qizhou said anxiously: "But we can't recruit both Jiang Xian and the Imperial Forest Army. Jiang Shan's primary target is me. As long as I lure Jiang Xian away, you don't have to be afraid. Don't worry, I have a snow dragon horse. They will chase them."
If you don’t, being with you will only drag me down!”
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"It seems so. Lingxu doesn't know yet, so we need to inform them as soon as possible. Then we will work separately. I will find a way to lead as many Quanzhen disciples as possible north to Jinyang, and you will also find a way to join us!" Lu Baogen also thought at this time.
I understand that I have poison in my body. If I don't force out the poisonous needle, it will only affect He Qizhou. What He Qizhou said is indeed the best choice.
…
Seeing that he could not catch up for a while, Jiang Di ordered again: "Four hundred people will dismount and wait where they are, while the rest will speed up and catch up."
After changing horses once, they really got closer. After passing a section of mountain road built close to the mountain, only He Qizhou could be seen two miles ahead, riding a white horse and running towards the northwest.
"Your Highness, how can we chase after him? Yuan Bao must have gone west from the forest path to Zhongnan Mountain!" Jiang Xian said anxiously.
"My father may not agree to storm Zhongnan Mountain. Don't fall for the trick of luring the tiger away from the mountain. Let's capture He Qizhou first!" Jiang Di had made up his mind. He could only see He Qizhou not far away. After giving the order to continue the pursuit, he sent people back to the emperor.
Ling reported Lu Baogen's help to He Qizhou and asked the emperor to decide how to deal with the Quanzhen General Altar.
After He Qizhou and Lu Baogen parted ways, he kept his horsepower so that the pursuers behind him could see him, and ran for more than thirty miles. Although he rescued Lu Baogen, he also missed the best opportunity to escape.
The soldiers all became one man and two horses. When they were tired, they changed horses and stayed tight for a mile or two. Starting from the imperial mausoleum, the snow dragon horse ran for nearly a hundred miles in two breaths, and its breathing gradually became heavier! Fortunately, Jiang Di's
Even if the horses were rotated between two horses, they were not necessarily better than the snow dragon horses. They could just barely keep up with He Qizhou.
Seeing that horses kept foaming at the mouth and could no longer run, Jiang Di had no choice but to change his pursuit strategy again. He led Zou Jinlin, Shi Lan, and a hundred imperial guardsmen with one person and three riders to attack He Qizhou; Jiang Xian was old
, unable to bear the bumps on his horse, he slowly followed up with a hundred cavalry, waiting for an opportunity to outflank him.
He Qizhou ran northwest along the official road. He ran for more than two hours. On the horse, he had recovered 10% of the lost power. However, the footsteps of the snow dragon horse became heavier and heavier. Although he was reluctant in every possible way, he was still ready at any time.
Abandoning the horse, he then found a mountain forest to hide in. He saw many people in white clothes walking forward a mile away, and some were leading horses. When he ran closer, he couldn't help but be startled. Those people wearing mourning clothes were walking forward.
The people behind them are the same imperial guards as the pursuers behind them!
There are harvested wheat fields on both sides of the official road. There is no trace as far as the eye can see, and there is nowhere to hide. It is easy to lose your horse in the field ridges, and you will definitely not be able to escape by then! He Qizhou looked back at the pursuers who were less than two miles away from him, and could only
Continue gritting your teeth and running along the official road!
…
The plan set by He Qizhou and Liu Junzhi was to first take He Qizhou out of the Liu Mansion with the help of Liu Yan, and then impeach Zhang Zhiren. Since Zhang Zhiren had been agreed to return to his hometown, the emperor would not suspect that Zhang Zhiren would escape early; and then use the funeral people to
Taking advantage of the opportunity, He Qizhou, Yang Shan, and Lin Chuan tried to escape south while Zhang Zhiren, Xu Muxue, and Zhang Mufeng took advantage of the chaos and ran west. The escape of the two groups required making some noise to attract Jiang Shan's pursuers and bring a secret edict to Jiang Can.
Escape back to Jinyang and create conditions.
After receiving the message from Zhang Mufeng, Zhang Zhiren started preparations. He ordered his confidants to prepare the escape horses, and arranged six fast horses in a small town sixty miles away from the imperial mausoleum. When Jiang Shan was about to catch up, he changed horses in time.
, one person and two riders, once again widened the distance from Jiang Shan.
Jiang Shan was more decisive than Jiang Di. He also ordered most of the people to dismount, leaving only thirty people to pursue. He left all the one hundred horses to the pursuers, and then changed horses as soon as the horses slowed down along the way. Pretty much.
After chasing for another two hundred miles, they finally caught up to about three miles away. At this time, Jiang Shan only had twelve people and twenty horses left.
The six horses owned by Zhang Zhiren and the others had been abandoned a long time ago. The current mounts were obtained through fraud at the official post. The three of them all held tokens from the Ministry of War in the capital. How could the post officer dare to neglect them? But the three post horses were approaching quickly.
Thirty miles later, it was obvious that we were exhausted. What was even more frightening was that the pursuers appeared again behind us. Those military horses were much faster than the stage horses. Although we were about to go to the next stage, we had to change three horses at once.
The horse will obviously have to spend some time and words, and by then the pursuers will have long since caught up.
"Grandpa, I'll stop them, you and your brother go first!" Xu Mu shouted.
"Jiang Shan's target is me. You go, I'll divert them away from the side road!" Zhang Zhiren advised. When they were the closest, the three of them had already discovered that Jiang Shan personally led the chase.
"I'll stop them! My family listens to you!" The pursuers were getting closer and closer, and Zhang Mufeng even wanted to stop immediately.
"Stop arguing, Huashan Mountain is ahead. Let's split up and run into the mountains, and then find a way back to Ganzhou!" Xu Muxue knew that none of them would sacrifice their loved ones to escape, so they might as well split up and escape. At least some of them might still be able to run back to Ganzhou.
.
"Okay!" Zhang Zhiren immediately agreed. He knew that Jiang Shan would never let him go, and he would be able to lure away some of the pursuers for his two grandsons.
The majestic Huashan Mountain stands in the south of the official road. The three of them ran another six or seven miles and began to head towards the mountains in the southwest. The pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer, and they could even hear Jiang Shan's roar: "Zhang Ze,
Don’t let one go!”
"Yes!" Jin Yiwei Qianhu Zhangze responded loudly, and more than ten cavalry pursuers began to disperse their formation and prepare to outflank them.
Zhang Zhiren looked back and saw that in addition to Jiang Shan who was following him, another group of pursuers appeared close to the mountain. There were hundreds of people. The one running at the front was a man and two riders who were only a hundred steps away from him. He couldn't help but feel
He was shocked and said: "You two abandon your horses and run into the mountains now!"
"No! You go up the mountain first!" Xu Muxue shouted.
"Yes, grandpa, you go in first!" Zhang Mufeng also advised.
"Be obedient!" Zhang Zhiren shouted.
While the three of them were arguing, a voice suddenly came from the direction of the chasing troops: "Follow me!"
