Fortunately, Zhang Bao had deliberately left traces on the road, and Lao He and the others followed the traces and pursued him much faster than Zhang Bao did at that time.
After a while.
Lao He and the others came to a bonfire.
The bonfire had just burned out, and there were still scattered sparks.
But when I looked at the traces, they were gone.
"spread!"
"Look around here and see if there are any marks!"
Lao He was very anxious.
Now that the rebels have rested and set off again, they will probably return to Erlong Mountain in one go.
Then the only thing is to compete with them for speed.
"Come on!"
"There's something going on here!"
Hearing the shout of a government servant, Lao He quickly ran over with his knife.
I couldn't help being surprised.
Underground.
The bodies of two people lay.
"What's going on?"
"Expand the scope and see if there are any more!"
When Lao He saw the fighting taking place here, he was still heartbroken.
For Lao He.
He didn't know that Zhang Bao came here following Ma Yan'er.
I thought it was Zhang Bao and Ma Yaner who were arrested together and then resisted halfway. Since they had taken action, there would definitely be casualties.
"Come and see here!"
On the other side, several government officials also discovered a bunch of messy footprints.
originally.
In dense forests, there are many dead branches and leaves underground, and the footprints are not obvious.
But that area.
But because it was close to the rock and relatively humid, it left a footprint.
"That's wrong!"
"How do you think this situation is going back? But there are still a series of footprints going forward."
"Could it be that the young master and the others have already escaped?"
"But what's with the footprints in the opposite direction?"
Lao He looked at the strange footprints and was very puzzled.
There are some footprints inside, which were left when Zhang Bao escaped and everyone chased him.
There are some more.
It was left behind when Smiling Tiger and the others gave up the chase and came back.
This coming and going put Lao He in trouble.
"In this way, you continue to lead a few people and chase in this direction."
"I'll take a few people to look at the back!"
Lao He said to a government servant next to him.
They divided their troops into two groups.
They split up and pursued each other.
…
Now in a trap.
Zhang Bao and Ma Yan'er were still hugging each other tightly and chatting about something.
"So, I am also very helpless. I don't know how I became the county magistrate."
"It's so unpredictable..."
Zhang Bao put his chin on Ma Yan'er's little head, sniffed the fragrance of Ma Yan'er's hair, and said helplessly.
"Um……"
"Then what are your plans for the future?"
Ma Yaner was very impressed by Zhang Bao's intimate behavior.
In fact, when two people are together, it does not necessarily have to be the kind of comfort that is like burning firewood. Often, this kind of subtle and intimate behavior touches the girl even more.
"Plan?"
"I don't know either."
"Chen Dadao told me a lot when he left. Judging from what he said, there should be changes in Hezhou recently. We must establish our own power as soon as possible. There are still many things that need to be done.
"
"Building city walls, recruiting troops, taxing, providing food, rebelling, etc., these are all things, just like a big fortress."
After Zhang Bao read those complicated official documents.
I don't feel that the position of the county magistrate is that good.
"Wubao?"
"Is it the same as the one in your village before?"
Ma Yaner asked curiously with wide eyes.
"Yes, you know?"
Zhang Bao asked with a smile.
Zhang Bao still felt a little regretful about the former dock in Hejian Village.
But now that I think about it.
Misfortunes are where blessings depend, and blessings are where misfortunes lie.
This old saying is really true.
If he had not left Hejian Village at that time, he would probably have faced an attack by the rebels.
The number of rebels is not as large as that of bandits, and they are not as easy to deal with. Whether they can hold on or not is another matter.
It seems.
Luck is such a weird thing.
Zhang Bao smiled bitterly.
"Of course I know!"
"I heard my father say that the Wubao in your village still has great ideas."
"But it was all abandoned later, and most of the villagers seemed to have left."
Ma Yaner narrowed her eyes and said.
"Abandoned?"
"What's the meaning?"
Zhang Bao asked with some confusion.
Since they left Hejian Village.
Then I never learned anything related to Hejian Village.
Everyone around Zhang Bao also knows that this Hejian Village is a sad place for Zhang Bao.
There was also a tacit understanding not to mention it again.
For Zhang Bao, it is a bit far away.
But in Zhang Bao's view.
After the Li family obtained Wubao, they would definitely not be like him and resist to the end, and they would definitely compromise with the rebels.
Although some money and food will be lost, there should be no problem if it is saved.
"I heard that all the Li family members inside were killed by the rebels."
"Then I gave up."
"I don't know the specifics."
Although Ma Yan'er wanted to answer Zhang Bao's questions, she just listened to Ma Yuanming's words.
"The Li family was killed?"
"oh……"
Zhang Bao was a little surprised.
But I immediately thought of Hu Dugu.
In Zhangbao want to come.
Hu Dugu must have wanted to return to Hejian Village to report that he was safe after joining the rebel army.
But he heard that he was forced to leave.
This was the start of the killing spree.
This Hu Dugu is really hard to tell. He is usually a boring gourd, but when he actually takes action, he is as ruthless as Lao He!
This time.
He and Ma Yan'er were able to escape death, but those people did not continue to chase them.
I believe it has something to do with Hu Dugu.
Zhang Bao couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief when he thought of this.
It seems that Hu Dugu is very effective on the side of the rebels. Now that he is the magistrate of Sanhe County, there will be a battle with the rebels sooner or later.
It would be good to have Hu Dugu to provide support within the rebel army.
It’s really hard on Hu Dougu...
Zhang Bao shook his head, not knowing whether what he did was right or not.
Just when Zhang Bao was thinking wildly.
Sudden.
Above their heads, there was a rustling sound.
Zhang Bao was stunned and quickly pressed Ma Yan'er against the wall.
When I poked my head out and took a look, I was immediately stunned.
Two green eyes appeared on the top of his head, and his heavy breathing was filled with the smell of blood, almost spraying on Zhang Bao's face.
