starry night.
At the inn leading to Liangzhou.
After the previous battle, everyone did not continue to sleep.
Instead, under Wang Lin's arrangement, he packed up his gifts and got ready to go.
"Your Majesty, if we leave like this, leave that boy behind. If they really come, he will definitely die."
Seeing that everyone had packed up, Ma Lie couldn't help but feel worried.
"Then it depends on his life. We hide him in the cellar and believe he can survive."
Wang Lin sighed, and then continued: "Let's go!"
"It's the prince!"
"yes!"
"..."
A team of people, ready to go.
At his order, everyone quickly got on their horses and left.
Follow him and lead the troops away.
The inn, which was originally quite lively, has become quite deserted.
"Your Majesty, if we go there overnight, I'm afraid Liangzhou City hasn't even opened yet!"
The war horse that Ma Lie rode was at the same pace as Wang Lin's.
"If he doesn't drive, we'll find a place to hide, and we'll sneak in at dawn!"
Wang Lin looked forward, then looked at the hooves of his own horse: "Everyone, please pay attention to your horses' hooves. The rag wrapped around them has fallen off. Remember to tie it up, otherwise they will find out that I have no trace, and it will be in trouble."
"Your Majesty, we don't have many people to begin with. If you let a group of them go back like this, wouldn't it mean that there are even fewer people... This is unnecessary!"
Ma Lie looked at Wang Lin and asked in confusion.
"Well, you don't understand. We just want to do the opposite. They thought we would be at the inn, so we had to run away."
"They thought we were going to Liangzhou City, so we had to take a detour back! Then we would divide our forces into two groups and come back!"
"Tell me, if it were you, could you guess our whereabouts?"
Wang Lin turned around and looked at Ma Lie, who was confused, and asked with a smile.
"Your Majesty, don't ask me to guess. Even if you ask me to chase you, I may not be able to find you."
What Ma Lie said was true.
because.
At this time, Wu Youzhi's killers had arrived at the inn.
What surprised them was that they found no trace of Wang Lin and the others.
"Steward Wu, they escaped!"
A former killer stood outside the inn and gritted his teeth and said, "They are really cunning!"
"Yes, but why did they turn back?"
Butler Wu frowned, and then ordered to a group of killers: "You ride horses and chase them. If you catch up, you will kill them without mercy!"
"Yes, Butler Wu!"
"yes!"
"..."
With their actions, only half of the people were left here.
"Let's continue and chase in the direction of Liangzhou!"
Butler Wu glanced forward and said in a deep voice.
"Steward Wu, should we search this place again?"
The killer looked at the inn behind him and asked in a deep voice.
"No need! They won't stay!"
Butler Wu waved his hand and immediately got on his horse: "Let's go. If we encounter them, we will kill them without mercy!"
"yes!"
"let's go!"
With Butler Wu leading the team, their team also set off one after another.
They followed the horse's hoof prints for several miles, and finally discovered that these horse hoof prints were not theirs.
Butler Wu tightened the reins of his horse, gritted his teeth and looked at both sides of the mountain road.
"Steward Wu, go back. We have all been fooled. We are being played around by Prince Lin tonight!"
At this time, the young man in white who had last met Wu Youzhi looked around and said with a smile.
"Bai Wen! What about you? Can you find them?"
Butler Wu frowned slightly, looked at the young man not far away, and asked in a deep voice.
"I don't know if I can, but I think they won't give up so easily. I'll just go to Liangzhou City and wait for them!"
The young man looked at the people in front of him and continued: "Don't waste your efforts. Go back. Your Excellency is in need of people now!"
"Okay, Bai Wen, don't we have to leave you some brothers?"
After hearing this, Butler Wu had already decided to go back, so he looked at Bai Wen and asked.
"No need, I can just go by myself. If there are too many people, it will ruin my good deeds!"
After listening to Butler Wu's words, Bai Wen shook his head slightly, and then continued: "If another group of you knows that they have returned to Qiushui County, they will send us a message to our stronghold in Liangzhou City, and Feige will come back, so that I can directly Go back to our border town!”
"Don't worry, Bai Wen, let's say goodbye then."
Butler Wu raised his hand to Bai Wen.
"Okay! Butler Wu! See you later!"
Bai Wen also waved to Butler Wu and immediately rode away.
Butler Wu looked around, and then continued: "Okay, we have been fooled, let's go!"
"Steward Wu, I think we can also go to Liangzhou City! What if we can meet him!"
The man before was obviously still unwilling, so he asked again.
He actually wanted to find out.
However, they obviously no longer intend to waste time on this matter.
What he said was already redundant.
Wang Lin played a game of chess with them, but they failed to catch up with him from beginning to end.
It can be said that they are beyond reach.
Their news could not be sent back in time.
No one can think of going out on a mission and carrying flying pigeons to deliver messages.
All these tasks fell on the spies.
Let them send the news back, it's already dawn.
However, Wu Youzhi's action could not wait until dawn.
He just wanted to make a sneak attack at night.
While they were missing, Wu Youzhi was already ready to go.
This time, he had three thousand troops and was about to capture Qiushui County.
Many of them were dragged into the battlefield they were about to go to without knowing why.
Therefore, they just stand in line and are listless.
Every one of them was lifeless, without any momentum of being about to set off.
"Brothers! This time we are avenging the brothers who were killed last time!"
Wu Youzhi stood in front of the stage, looked at the people below, and said in a deep voice: "There are your brothers there, as well as your fathers and uncles. Don't you want to take revenge?"
"think!"
"kill!"
"..."
After he said these words, some of the soldiers present had murderous intentions.
At this time, if a family feud could be avenged, no one would hesitate.
Revenge is their only purpose.
People at this time don't feel too guilty about killing someone, but it is impossible for them to face the vengeance of their parents and brothers without avenging them.
"Also! This departure is not in vain!"
Wu Youzhi laughed loudly, and then gestured to the person behind him: "Open it!"
"yes!"
The soldier respectfully accepted the order and began to open the boxes behind them: "Open them all!"
"yes!"
"good!"
"..."
Everyone started to take action.
They opened all ten boxes behind Wu Youzhi.
