The two thousand soldiers left by the eldest prince left in a hurry after breaking all the ships.
This, of course, also carried out the eldest prince's intention.
As long as the pursuers behind them have no boats and cannot cross the river, their danger will be much less.
However, they really underestimated Xu Lang's determination, and they never expected that there would be top masters like Zheng Baye and Baiyun Zhenren chasing after him.
What was particularly annoying was that it was undoubtedly not easy for these two thousand soldiers, mostly infantry, to catch up with the eldest prince and the others who had already walked a long way on just two legs.
In this way, Zheng Baye and Baiyun Zhenren, who then crossed the river, caught up with them in less than a stick of incense.
"Haha, this prince is really cunning. I thought that all their troops were stationed by the river, but I didn't know that he was trying to spread suspicion. These soldiers, it seems, are just pawns he used to confuse the enemy."
When Zheng Baye saw this, he couldn't help but feel emotional.
Last night, if it hadn't been too dark, he would have wanted to risk crossing the river with Master Baiyun, so as to sneak into the enemy camp and look for Li Ziyu.
"Oh, it's a pity that these people are still so foolish as to sacrifice their lives for him!"
Master Baiyun stroked his beard and sighed.
"Based on this, I'm afraid General Li is not among these people. I just don't know when General Xu or General Ling's troops will arrive. If it's later, the eldest prince doesn't know where to escape. Got it!"
Master Zheng had a headache even more and shook his head.
The two of them tracked all the way, all relying on a pair of feet. Although they have excellent qinggong, it is not an easy task. At this time, Zheng Baye looked at the eldest son who had disappeared and could only hope that Xu Lang or Ling Yue's men would arrive as soon as possible. He was not familiar with mountains and geography, and could not tell the direction of the eldest prince at the moment.
"Why don't we find an opportunity to capture a soldier and ask?"
Master Baiyun had an idea and came up with this idea.
"It's a good way to catch the soldiers. But they are all together, so it's hard to do anything!"
Zheng Baye looked at it and frowned again.
"Don't be afraid, there will always be someone left alone."
Master Baiyun smiled lightly and was very sure.
"Okay, even if a few are left behind, the two of us can handle it."
Master Zheng nodded, his interest rising.
However, unfortunately, these two thousand soldiers were obviously well-trained. Although they were eager to escape, they kept the queue neatly along the way. Even if someone needed to go to the toilet midway, a group would be left behind. People and horses are waiting.
In this way, the two naturally did not have a good chance to make a move.
At noon, following a signal from the leader, two thousand soldiers took a break in a mountain col and ate some dry food to satisfy their hunger.
Seeing how much they were chewing, Master Zheng felt a turmoil in his stomach.
"Haha, Gang Leader Zheng, please bear with us! We were in such a hurry that we forgot to bring some dry food with us!"
Master Baiyun has been practicing Taoism for many years, and he knows the art of fasting grains. It is not difficult to suffer a little hunger. Therefore, when he saw something moving in Zheng Baye's stomach, he couldn't help but tease him.
“There’s no village or shop here, so we’re really at our wits’ end!”
Master Zheng was very helpless.
The two of them stared at the two thousand soldiers. For a moment, they could only stare.
After about half an hour, the two thousand soldiers patted their bellies and lined up to set off.
When the two of them saw that they had taken a hundred steps, they leaned out and wanted to follow them.
Suddenly, the two of them looked different at the same time.
The, the, the...
Only the sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly coming from half a mile away.
