The palace guards lying on the ground all looked up at Du Tianli.
These days they have been chasing the Xiao family and the wild beasts have been chasing them.
There is no shortage of food. There are so many wild animals, and killing a few is enough to eat.
The key is that there is no salt, so I don’t have the energy to eat it.
There is also a lack of water.
There was still water on the previous two hills, but this hill is so dry. I haven’t found any water for two days and I’m almost dying of thirst.
Du Tianli raised his head and took a deep breath. The hot air passed through his swollen and painful throat, and his whole body trembled with pain.
He looked like he was about to break down, and he wanted to cry after chasing him all the way.
Why can't I catch up with that person? That person suddenly disappears without any trace of life.
Du Tianli looked back dejectedly, but the team behind him didn't send any signal.
To ensure everything went smoothly, he divided the team into two small teams.
He led one team to set off a day in advance, and the other team stayed there for a day before setting off again.
In this way, no matter whether the Xiao family is in front or behind, they cannot escape from his palm.
(Lin Yiran: Haha, I didn’t expect that, did you? We stayed in the Royal Cemetery for three or four days. Even if you were one day slower, you’d still be one hill ahead of us, slightly…)
Du Tianli looked at everyone's faces with a tired look on his face and said in a hoarse voice,
"How could a wild beast eat a person so cleanly? Not even a piece of clothing was left behind. If you report this to the emperor, will he believe it?"
"Rest for a while and continue chasing. Maybe they didn't walk on the ground, but walked through the trees to avoid wild animals."
"Xiao Yunzhan's Qinggong is so good, and the Xiao family's private soldiers' Qinggong is not much worse. It should be easy for them to carry someone flying from a tree."
"Everyone, keep your eyes open. Even if you can't find the Xiao family, you must at least find their clothes. At least you have something to report."
Du Tianli looked up and squinted his eyes, looking forward, and continued,
"Even if the Xiao family has escaped from these mountains, with Commander Zhao guarding the foot of the mountain, they can't escape..."
When Jiang Xu heard this, his shoulders collapsed instantly, and he seemed to have lost all his energy.
He would rather believe that all the Xiao family members were eaten by wild beasts than believe that the Xiao family could walk out of the mountains so easily.
If this is true, then the Xiao family's private soldiers are too powerful, and they have no chance of winning at all.
Jiang Xu's eyelids drooped tiredly and he sat down on the ground.
He glanced at his colleagues who had beards and messy hair and looked like savages, and he felt very sad.
If they return to the capital like this, they might not even be able to enter the city gate and will be blocked outside the city as refugees.
Hey~
What is this?
The other palace guards had long lost the fierceness they had when they first chased after them. After five or six days of traveling at full speed, any fierceness they had would have been worn away.
"Set off!"
Du Tianli looked up at the scorching sun and shouted in a hoarse voice.
He couldn't stay in this place. He was so thirsty that he had to move on to find some water.
Even if his legs weighed a thousand pounds, he would continue to chase forward.
If he fails to capture the Xiao family, Emperor Wu of Liang will definitely execute him.
He and the Xiao family are at war until death and cannot reconcile!
“Ah~”
“Hey~”
.l......
The palace guards wailed and had no choice but to open their eyes, which were about to close.
They used the chopped curled-edge swords as crutches, propped up their almost falling apart bodies, exerted all their strength, and took heavy steps.
Du Tianli smoothed his tangled and smelly hair and stood up with difficulty.
He was not much better than everyone else. He had to grit his teeth and keep chasing because his head was hanging on his neck.
...........
"There is a cave here. Let's spend the night here."
Xiao Yunzhan glanced at the scorching sun, thought for a moment, and decided not to rush on.
It may not be possible to find such a cave suitable for spending the night ahead.
After all, there are too many wild animals in the deep mountains, and it is too dangerous to spend the night without a cave.
Lin Yiran glanced at the time on her phone. It was 4:30 in the afternoon.
The trees near the cave are not very tall, and the leaves are drooping, so the light is relatively bright.
The atmosphere of drought enveloped the mountains madly, and they traveled for a whole day without seeing any water.
Several mountain spring pools have long dried up, and the air is so dry that it makes people feel uneasy.
Fortunately, Lin Yiran still had a jar of water in the big clay jar she was holding.
Every time she drank water, she would secretly add some water to it.
"That's fine. Let's dig some wild vegetables nearby while it's still early."
She wanted to eat roasted sweet potatoes again, but last time both of them were burnt.
Later, she was so busy grilling meat that she forgot there was a sweet potato roasting by the fire.
By the time she remembered it after finishing her meal, it had already turned into charcoal.
She secretly opened it and took a look, and was completely chilled to the bone.
She didn't dare to say a word and quietly stuffed two charcoal-like sweet potatoes into the fire.
As soon as Lin Yiran finished speaking, Madam Xiao turned her head and looked at her nervously.
"How do you want to eat the wild boar tonight? We have all the seasonings. You can grill it."
You greedy girl, do you understand what your mother means?
We already have wild boar meat, so there’s no need to make anything else.
It's so hot, the meat can't be kept. Two wild boar trotters weighing thirty or forty kilograms are enough to eat.
The weather was extremely hot, without a single breath of wind. My second sister-in-law wiped the sweat from her forehead and opened her sticky mouth.
"Okay, I'll go find some wild vegetables with my fourth sister-in-law. We'll stew pork with wild vegetables. I've never eaten it this way before, so let's try it and see how it goes."
My dear, there is more to this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. It will be even more exciting later!
