At this end, the eldest prince's army had successfully taken advantage of the road yesterday, bypassed the official road, and was approaching Yiling.
He still didn't have much confidence in the soldiers who stayed by the Wei Shui River. At the third watch, under the guidance of the guide sent to him by the chieftain of the Miao village, he headed towards Yiling along the rugged mountain road.
"Commander Tang, if we walk for another day, Yiling will not be far away. If your junior brother is okay, we can meet him at Yiling."
The eldest prince said to Tang Hu with a slight apology.
"Your Highness, as long as you have a safe journey, Junior Brother will be happy too."
How could Tang Hu dare to complain?
However, he did have some bad premonitions in his heart.
Keeping Jiang Shen and putting him on the Liucheng line is actually very risky. After all, they have too few men and horses. If they succeed in luring the enemy, and the pursuers are really fooled and chase them, with their few men and horses, if they want to survive, it will really depend on God's will.
Of course, he still believed that with Jiang Shen's wit and martial arts skills, he could escape safely.
"Alas, no matter who the pursuers are from here to Yiling, there is nothing they can do for me and wait. The brothers of the Miao family will definitely not lend them a road. And when they come from another way, I will wait. , has become the Lord of Yiling. When the time comes, with the help of my sworn brother Lei Hu, and our Feihu Camp, no one can easily shake me!"
After sighing, the words the eldest prince spoke were filled with arrogance and domineering, and there was even more murderous intent in his eyes.
"That's nature, that's nature."
Tang Hu echoed repeatedly.
Now, except for the dark road, he seems to have no good place to go. He thought to himself that if the eldest prince continued on his way, if he could really gain a foothold in Yiling and establish a good relationship with the great chieftain of Miao territory, there would still be a chance for him to stay in a corner. As for myself, regardless of any lofty ambitions, it should be possible to make a wife and shadow son, follow the eldest son, and seek some wealth. Of course, being loyal to anyone is better than being loyal to yourself. This is very important. If the eldest prince is really at the end of his rope, why should he risk his life?
When the time comes, the worst possible thing to do is to stay anonymous, choose a remote place, and rely on the hard goods you have saved over the years to become a rich man. As for the possible pursuit by the Hengshan Sect or the cleanup of the sect, bah, where can I find a hiding place?
However, his worries were not noticed by the eldest prince.
At noon, the eldest prince had been submerged in the vast mountains and forests for a long time. And Xu Lang chased all the way, following the traces of the eldest prince. In the end, because the Miao people refused to use the road, and he was unwilling to easily provoke the Miao border, he had to walk to the official road in frustration.
"General, why don't you take a rest first? The soldiers are on the road one after another and are quite tired!"
Sun Er, who was chasing after him, saw that Xu Lang was tired and worried, so he made timely suggestions.
"Okay, forget it. We can't catch up anyway, so it's good to let the brothers rest for a while. Come on, send the order, and the whole army will rest on the spot and start cooking!"
Xu Lang nodded in agreement and quickly gave the order.
With this order, all the officers and soldiers looked happy. Not long after, I saw smoke rising from the kitchen.
"The one named Jiang Shen must be carefully guarded and don't let him escape. Maybe it will be useful by then!"
Xu Lang sat on a big rock, thinking of Jiang Shen who had been captured, and ordered Sun Er to come.
"Don't worry, general. Headmaster Baiyun has sealed his acupuncture points with unique techniques. His subordinates have sent brothers from the guard camp to guard him day and night. He won't be able to escape even if he wants to."
Sun Er clasped his fists and smiled.
"Okay, you should also take a good rest. This journey has been a bit tiring. Hum, the eldest prince wants to escape into Yiling City, so let him! At worst, wait until General Huairen and General Li arrive. Let’s attack the city and see what he can do?!”
At this time, Xu Lang gradually calmed down and analyzed the possible situation.
