Passing by the mansion, Ji Yuanhao hurried back home. He had no parents but still had brothers and several young children. He hurriedly gave a few instructions and issued several orders to the intelligence lines inside and outside the country.
He and Yang Yanzong intuitively felt that those people might have left Yangdu.
Ji Yuanhao said hurriedly and turned around and left. Ji Chengtan hurriedly caught up with him, "Brother, I'm going too!"
"I'm worried about my sister-in-law and Mu'er."
It was true that he was worried about Ren and his nephew. After all, Ren was worthy of being called a sister-in-law and a mother, and he and his eldest nephew had always had a good relationship. But while he was worried about these two, he was even more anxious about someone else.
In more than a year, Ji Chengtan has changed a lot. He has experienced more things as a job candidate and has lost that naive bookish spirit. He has become much more stable. He also gradually realized what his past actions had brought to his sweetheart, so he endured it and never looked for her again.
Except this time, he was so frightened and anxious that he couldn't just sit at home and wait.
Ji Yuanhao thought for a moment and said, "Okay, then you go too."
He ordered his confidant Xu Cheng, "Keep an eye on the house. Anyone who dares to cause trouble, no matter who it is, will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane and thrown into the woodshed!"
He turned around and hurried out with a group of trusted guards and Ji Chengtan.
…
Yang Yanzong and Ji Yuanhao's intuition was correct. They both intensified their search on the northern border of Yangdu. They dug deep into the ground and spent a lot of effort. Finally, they successfully found some clues on Qurongdao, the only way from the northern border to the northern frontier.
According to a shop assistant, a small caravan stopped in front of the door to buy steamed buns that day. There were not many people, but they bought quite a few steamed buns. (Since this is a prosperous area with many shops, it is completely possible to buy and eat as you go, so generally no one prepares dry food. Wouldn't it be crazy to eat cold steamed buns instead of hot ones in such a cold day?) The shop assistant was surprised and looked up, only to find that this small caravan was a bit strange. All the people in the first car got off, but no one got off the second car, and the people in the first car stood in front, behind, and on both sides of the second car in a defensive posture.
When the waiter looked up, the wind lifted the curtain of the carriage. Although the driver immediately pulled it back, the waiter's sharp eyes still caught a corner of the crimson skirt with a tea-colored hem.
——When Ren went out that day, she was wearing a crimson purple jacket and skirt with a dark tea-colored twined pattern on the edge.
In addition, according to the guy's recollection, there seemed to be more than one person in the car. He guessed that there were at least two or three. He seemed to see half of a small women's pointed deerskin boot under the purple skirt.
Su Ci always wore short boots in autumn and winter. She was wearing a pair of brand new deerskin boots on the day she returned to Suiping. Yang Yanzong saw it with his own eyes. He also clearly remembered the sound of her brisk footsteps as she walked away along the corridor that day.
Yang Yanzong, Ji Yuanhao and his party immediately chased after them!
Following the clues given by the guy, they searched and chased him all the way to Fanyuan area in Datong, northern Xinjiang. By then, he was already close to the store.
They were very fast and arrived at Fan Yuan almost at the same time as the other group. More importantly, they had received the old emperor's order to act according to their will. Before they chased out of Qu Rongdao, they immediately ordered the blockade of all gates in the northern border, and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
Be the first to cut off that group’s exit channel!
Then, immediately inform the local authorities and send out people to search!
The door was closed and sealed, and the other party must have been alarmed. In this case, they had to race against time.
The light and dark investigation began immediately.
Unfortunately, the clues ended at Fan Yuan. The other party seemed to have noticed something and immediately changed his car and attire and disappeared.
What can be confirmed at present is that the other party should be hiding in Fanyuan, but Fanyuan is very large, with three cities and seventeen townships, countless towns and villages, and it is adjacent to Guanmen, which is very prosperous, making their search very difficult.
But no matter how difficult it is, you still have to find it immediately.
After a lot of effort, they finally saw some light at the end of the tunnel. Yang Yanzong, Ji Yuanhao and the others suppressed their anxieties and cheered themselves up, sweeping away the fatigue from days of running around, and put all their energy into searching and investigating both light and dark.
…
Compared with Yang Yanzong's side who finally got the clue, the atmosphere on the Beirong side was much more depressing and solemn.
After eating cold steamed buns and cold dumplings for seven or eight days in a row, Su Ci felt that she was getting closer and closer to the Northern Border.
However, what is even more distressing is that the group of Beirong spies who had previously ambushed her and fell into the river during the fight with her have joined up with this group of fishmongers' spies led by "Boss Peng". No, Boss Peng and his gang are no longer fishmongers, they have turned into businessmen.
Beirong's spy network is really huge. In order to get the three of them the hostages they accidentally obtained, they might have even used the spy network that had been lurking for many years.
Su Ci was still thinking about all sorts of things. When the curtain of the car was lifted, a familiar face poked his head in, looked at them, nodded, and was very satisfied. Then he pointed at Su Ci and said, "This woman is very cunning. You need to be more careful."
Su Ci: “…”
She remembered that this was the Beirong man whose eyes she had thrown a handful of dirt into.
However, this group of damn Beirong people could not be proud for long, because they soon received the news and were ordered to close the gates and block the city!
Not only the government but also the people were discussing the Northern Rong spies. It was said that this damned Northern Rong spies raided the convoy of Yangdu high-ranking officials and abducted several family members, so the gate was temporarily blocked and closed. Anyone who provided effective clues would be rewarded with a thousand gold coins!
There was a lot of heated discussion outside. Not only were the gates closed, but checkpoints were set up inside and outside the city for strict searches. Fortunately, they were cautious and did not rush to leave immediately. Their current base is in a rural village, not in the center of Fanyuan.
"What should I do? The door is locked!"
"If this continues, I'm afraid the strict search will affect this area in a few days."
"Walk?"
"Don't be impatient. It's better to be still than to move. Gai Hun, go contact the strongholds in Guxiang, Hunjin, and Shizuishan first to see how they are doing. Also, find out what's going on in the city..."
Boss Peng pushed open the door, stared outside for a long while, and whispered orders.
They spoke Beirong language, gibberish and fast. Su Ci couldn't understand what they were saying at all. Fortunately, there was a young boy named Ji Zimu. His homework actually included some simple Beirong language. The young boy leaned against the wall and listened carefully for a while, then turned back and repeated it in a low voice.
It was similar to what Su Ci guessed, "No, we have to find a way to get out of this quickly."
This was the second day they were locked up in this small woodshed. The cloth gag and the ropes on their hands had been rubbed against them for the entire day, and they had to help each other to finally pull them off.
Su Ci listened carefully. Outside the woodshed was a yard, and there were quite a few people guarding the yard.
She rolled her eyes and listened attentively to the other side of the wall, calling for Ji Zimu and Ren to help her. Ren watched the wind, leaned against the wall and listened with bated breath, while staring at the two of them nervously.
The young boy Ji Zimu squatted in a horse stance, and she climbed onto his back, tiptoed, and moved closer to the palm-sized skylight above his head.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a street outside!
However, the yard across the wall was not wide, just over one meter. Most of the buildings here would add a yard outside the gate, but this house was facing the street, so not much could be added. Just a long strip of more than one meter was added. Some farm tools and sundries were piled against the wall. Outside the wall was the street. The air vent in front of Su Ci was just a little higher than the wall, and she could see the street.
This should be a small town, not very big and not very prosperous. There are not many people on the street, some pushing carts, some carrying loads on their shoulders. It is afternoon and there are only a few people around.
But Su Ci's firewood shed and the main house are side by side. About ten meters to the left is the main gate. In front of the main house door inside the courtyard wall, there are two Beirong people with knives guarding.
She couldn't shout anymore. If she did, even though the people outside would know that something was wrong here, they would have been moved away before Yang Yanzong and the others arrived.
In critical moments, there is even the possibility of murder.
How can we create an opportunity to escape?
Su Ci's mind turned and a plan came to mind. She waved her hand and asked Ren to pick up some heavy firewood that was suitable and not too big for her. It would be best if she could find stones.
Ren quickly lay down in the pile of firewood and carefully dug around. She first found two lumps of firewood that were quite heavy. At the end, she also found two fist-sized boulders blocking the rat hole. She quickly picked them up and gave them to Su Ci.
The woodshed was pitch black. The three men looked extremely disheveled. Their wet clothes had to dry on their bodies. They were dishevelled and dirty. The young boy Ji Zimu was still growing and very thin. He had been standing with Su Ci on his back for a long time, and his face had turned red. However, he did not say a word and tried to stand half-bent over.
Ren felt sorry for her son but she only touched his head. Ji Zimu nodded vigorously and told his mother that he was fine. Ren also nodded and quickly went back to the door, lying down and listening carefully.
Su Ci lay on the air vent for a long time, so long that her feet were hurting. After that damn Beirong man reminded Boss Peng, the latter grabbed the feet of the three of them and twisted them, not too hard or too lightly, after all, he was afraid that they would get sick and cause trouble. But the three of them sprained their feet, and even though Su Ci knew medicine, they have not yet fully healed.
As time went on, even if she avoided the main issues, it started to hurt.
But hard work pays off, Su Ci finally got what she was waiting for!
From afar, she saw a middle-aged man carrying a hawk and driving a dog, with two big black dogs leading the way in front and a dozen servants and thugs following him, walking out of the restaurant at the end of the street - her main target has always been this restaurant.
This man was obviously a local bully. The young shopkeeper sent him out attentively. Passers-by on the road dodged and avoided him. Two vicious dogs barked all the way forward. This man walked towards this side with a swagger.
Su Ci waited with bated breath, staring at the man closely, while her peripheral vision was always carefully focused on the door about ten meters to the left.
Finally, the man came closer and closer and entered her attack range, and the man guarding the gate facing her lowered his head and raised his boots!
“Pah! Pah!!”
Su Ci's hands were quick and accurate, and she threw out a round stone as big as a fist! As if that was not enough, he threw another stone with force. The two stones, one in front and one behind, hit the man's forehead and eye sockets hard with great force! Blood immediately gushed out on the man's forehead. He screamed, covered the wound and tilted his head. Another bloody wound almost hit his left eye. He quickly turned his head and the wound barely brushed the corner of his eye.
Oh shit! ! !
The man was furious: "Who, who is it? Come out, are you looking for death?!!!"
With a loud "clang"! ! The gate of the courtyard was kicked open, and a dozen strong thugs and two vicious dogs rushed in, growling and growling, and the main house instantly became chaotic.
Most of the people in the yard ran over when they heard the noise. In terms of skills, although the local tyrant had many subordinates, the Beirong side was not afraid of them at all. The problem was that they were spies, and this was an important hideout for harboring hostages. At first they didn't understand what was going on, so they rushed forward. Unexpectedly, they were slapped in the head and a mouthful of thick phlegm was spat on their faces. The two vicious dogs came in and bit people like crazy. Boss Peng endured it again and again, and finally he couldn't help asking what was going on.
"How dare you ask your mother!" Another slap!
There was a commotion in front and most of the backyard was empty, with only one person left guarding the door of the woodshed. The man frowned and looked up towards the main house, but he didn't expect that the dilapidated door of the woodshed behind him was quietly opened a little, and a pair of hands stretched out.
The reason why the people in the yard left with confidence was that, apart from the fact that their women and children were still tied up, more importantly, the door of the woodshed was locked. A thick iron chain was used to circle the door knocker and a brass padlock was inserted. There was only one key, which Boss Peng carried with him.
But Su Ci is very talented and she can even pick locks a little.
After getting down from the boy's back, she quickly picked up the two board-shaped wooden pieces and the rubbed straw rope that Ren had carefully selected, and tied them around her left ankle to make a splint. Ren and Ji Zimu did the same. Su Ci kicked the mechanism on the sole of her shoe, and a small sharp blade popped out of the toe of the shoe. It was not big, after all, the thickness of the sole was limited. This was a sudden idea of hers, and Yang Yanzong specially ordered someone to make it for her. It was detachable, and when it was removed, it turned out to be a very small dagger-shaped sharp blade, one middle finger long and two fingers wide.
Su Ci took off the sharp blade and quickly took off the silver bead flower on Ren's head that she had long had her eyes on. She used the sharp blade to pick at it and quickly got off a piece of silver thread.
When Su Ci was in high school, there was a period of time when she particularly liked to arrive early. There were several people like this in her class. At that time, the classroom door had an old-fashioned brass lock. If they arrived too early, it would not be opened. A boy would use a piece of thin iron wire to poke it open, and then they could go in and sit down.
Su Ci was a curious person. She watched for several times and expressed her desire to learn with great interest. Since she was pretty and interesting, the boy was happy to teach her. So he patiently explained the tricks to her and demonstrated in the process how to open many locks that he had studied.
However, the lock-picking duo was discovered by the teacher not long after their efforts. They were criticized and their parents were called in.
I've gone off topic. Anyway, I never expected that this little skill that I learned out of boredom in school would come in handy again one day. It seems that our ancestors were right when they said that it's always good to have many skills!
Su Ci carefully and silently opened the door, reached out from the gap, and inserted the silver thread into the keyhole. Ren Shi and Ji Zimu, who were holding large wooden sticks behind her, held their breath nervously.
Su Ci poked for about three or four seconds and soon found the spot. She waited, and when the dog started barking wildly, she poked down decisively!
With a very slight "click", the brass lock fell into her palm. She handed it behind her, and with gentle movements, she took off the chain silently one circle at a time.
The door of the woodshed behind him suddenly opened silently. The man guarding the door vaguely felt that something was wrong. He paused, looked back, and a big stick hit him hard on the back of his head! Then Su Ci pounced on him like a little leopard, and when the other party shouted, she stabbed the other party's throat with the small sharp blade!
Ji Zimu pressed him down tightly, covered his mouth, and used his body to block the falling knife in time!
The three of them worked together to quickly drag the man inside, closed the door, and ran towards the wall behind the corner of the house.
Their hearts were pounding so fast that they didn't dare run out the back door, which could be seen from the main house! The three of them went around to the wall beside the woodshed, just in time! There are seven or eight bundles of firewood that were dragged out temporarily, just right for standing on tiptoe!
The three of them quickly jumped up, helped each other, climbed up, and jumped down from the top of the wall.
Su Ci grimaced in pain after her left foot was shaken, but she still ran away quickly!
Unfortunately, this first escape did not go smoothly.
Almost as soon as the three of them jumped off the wall, someone from the main house poked his head out to look over here, and immediately discovered that the gatekeeper was missing. He rushed over and kicked open the door of the woodshed!
"Oh no, the person ran away!!"
There was a loud shout in the chaos, and Boss Peng immediately picked up his knife and chopped off the head of the local tyrant with one stroke!
"court death!"
The door closed with a bang, and the Beirong people, who had long been unable to bear it any longer, killed the two vicious dogs and a dozen thugs with a single knife.
Boss Peng has led his men to turn around and chase after them!
Su Ci and the other two ran very fast. When they reached the end of the alley, she turned sharply and said to the woman who was carrying plates and bowls and walking out of the house, "We are the relatives of that high-ranking official. Let's go to Fan Yuancheng and report the news!"
Her voice was quite loud and her tone was extremely urgent. In the end, the woman threw the plates and bowls to the ground, pulled out a dagger and rushed towards her quickly!
What the hell!
Su Ci quickly shrank back, luckily Ji Zimu who was following behind her also reacted quickly. The young boy kicked the woman hard in the heart, and she fell back!
Damn it! Su Ci pulled him back with one hand and quickly turned around and ran. The three of them ran as fast as they could. They didn't know how many dens there were in this town. From time to time along the way, there was a "clang" sound of doors opening, and people kept chasing out!
There were seven or eight households. One time, they cleverly dug a dog hole and almost got rid of their tail. However, they were discovered again by the spy who suddenly heard the news and opened the door in front. Su Ci was so angry that she gritted her teeth, damn it!
They had to give up the idea of mobilizing the masses, and they couldn't mobilize them because they ran too fast. They stumbled all the way and didn't know which direction they were going. Anyway, they ran for nearly two quarters of an hour and finally rushed to the market on the west side of the town. Su Ci was breathing heavily and frowning. She looked up and saw a set of old clothes hanging under the eaves of a farmer's house. She jumped up and grabbed them.
If you continue running forward, you will reach the livestock market. Logically, there will be many people and livestock, and there is a main road at the end, so the chances of running away will be very high.
But the problem was, Su Ci looked down at her clothes. Although the clothes on the three of them were dirty, they were obviously not of the same level as those of ordinary villagers. The colors were bright and very conspicuous. If they rushed into the market like this, it would be even more miserable than walking through the alleys.
But there was only one set of clothes, and they didn't have time to find a second set.
Along the way, Su Ci had thought about jumping over the wall into someone's yard, but this place was close to the outside of the Great Wall, the earthen walls were built very high, and her feet hurt, so she couldn't jump up at all.
Yes, Su Ci's feet were getting more and more painful. She was the focus of attention. Boss Peng hit her the hardest and her foot sprain was the most serious. After running for so long, even with a splint, she gradually felt a little overwhelmed.
Su Ci had a feeling that she might not be able to escape this time.
At the livestock market in front of them, Ren and Ji Zimu, wearing a set of old farmer's clothes, wanted to run away if they could.
"Who of you will change?!"
Her hamstrings twitched and she gritted her teeth.
Mother and son, Ren did not hesitate to give her son the best chance of escape. She took the clothes and put them on her son: "Mu'er, you wear it, put it on quickly!"
Ji Zimu's eyes suddenly turned red, "Mom!"
"Stop talking so much, now is not the time to be so much!"
Ren said sternly, and Ji Zimu suddenly fell silent, his lips trembling, and finally he and his mother quickly put on the half-wet clothes.
Ren touched her son's face. Her son was already a little taller than her. There was no time to talk more. Her eyes turned red. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said, "You have to be careful. Do you remember what your Aunt Yang said?"
Su Ci kept watching anxiously while speaking quickly to others. Her foot hurt so much that her chances of escaping were greatly reduced, so giving up the opportunity did not mean she was giving up her own.
She and Ren Shi might be arrested, so Ji Zimu's report was crucial. "Remember, don't panic, don't be anxious. Even if they arrest you, they won't kill you!"
"They will most likely go to the direction of Dahuang or Fengchuan next," Su Ci heard the people outside the carriage discussing while pretending to be unconscious. Dahuang and Fengchuan were their backup routes. "They will most likely pass by a place called Lok Ma Chau and cross the river."
She also wanted Ji Zimu to leave. Although Ji Zimu was only fourteen years old, he had a good foundation in martial arts and was quite capable. He had the greatest chance of escaping successfully.
"Be quick, if you are quick, they have to be quick too!"
Ji Zimu nodded desperately, and when Ren pushed him, he quickly ran out and rushed into the market. His half-black figure and gray hair made him blend in with the people around him quickly.
Su Ci endured the pain, held hands with Ren, turned around and rushed to the other side of the alley!
…
Fanyuan is the largest post house in front of the South City Gate.
When Yang Yanzong and Ji Yuanhao were leading their men in a search, they suddenly received news that Ji Zimu had been found!
The two men immediately turned around and rode quickly.
Ji Zimu's hair and face were still covered with ash and feces. Thinking of his mother's kind and concerned face when she looked back at him for the last time before she left, this usually stubborn boy couldn't help but shed tears. He covered his mouth, but still repeated very clearly what Su Ci had told him.
"Mother and Aunt Yang, it's very likely..." It's not very likely, it's basically certain, they have been arrested. Ji Zimu had just walked for about a dozen breaths when he heard a noise. He turned around and saw Boss Peng and his men chasing in the direction of Su Ci and Ren.
But he could only grit his teeth and leave in pain.
Ji Zimu sobbed and cried bitterly. At that moment, he really felt that he was useless and unable to protect his mother.
Ji Yuanhao closed his eyes, feeling tired and worried. When he opened his eyes again, he saw his eldest son crying. He took two deep breaths and yelled, "Why are you crying? Be a real man and wipe your tears!"
"We'll rescue your mother right now!!"
Ji Zimu knew that his father hated it most when a man behaved like a woman, so he quickly lowered his head and wiped away his tears.
Yang Yanzong was very anxious. He had failed to escape and was caught again. How could this be good? !
He didn't bother to say anything, he jumped out and jumped directly onto the horse.
The group hurried and searched the town thoroughly, but found that it was empty!
He kicked the door, and the whole door was kicked away in anxiety and anger. Yang Yanzong closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He couldn't be anxious, because his Ci'er was still waiting for him. He had finally got the key clue.
Don't be anxious, don't panic!
He opened his eyes. He had not rested well for several days and was anxious. His eyes were bloodshot, but at this moment Yang Yanzong's mind was extremely clear. "Dahuang, Fengchuan."
"Immediately withdraw all the people heading towards Dahuang Fengchuan." He was afraid that if he pushed them too hard, the other party would kill him. "Don't be too strict in the open search and blockade, and don't go specifically towards Dahuang Fengchuan. All the people heading towards Dahuang Fengchuan will be withdrawn from the open to the covert!"
As for those heading towards Dahuang Fengchuan, he would go there in person.
…
As it turned out, Yang Yanzong's judgment was quite accurate.
These Beirong people fled the town, and the panic-stricken environment made them even think of killing each other.
But fortunately, after passing a few levels, I gradually relaxed.
The trackers were unable to determine their exact direction, and Boss Peng and the others couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Hurry up, get to Fengchuan as soon as possible."
When they arrived in Fengchuan, they found a way to leave.
Boss Peng asked again, "Where are those two bitches?"
The subordinate said, "He is still sick and very seriously ill. Boss, do you want to see a doctor?"
After Su Ci and Ren were arrested, they were kicked in the heart, which was very painful, and they were not given any food for two days.
If this group of people hadn't been in a hurry to escape, they would probably have suffered more.
He was drugged and thrown into a car and driven away.
Su Ci woke up one day feeling groggy. This was not acceptable. Although Su Ci asked Ji Zimu to report the news, she had never given up on saving herself.
Otherwise, if we don’t get rescued, we’ll be doomed!
She had a slight fever, caused by her ankle, so she thought about it and decided to pretend to be sick. She was good at medicine, so it was not difficult for her to deliberately make the fever worse. Moreover, her skin was fair, and her face would turn red when she had a fever, which was particularly serious.
This will prevent her foot from being sprained again.
She checked her foot and found that she had slightly strained the ligament but no bone damage, so it would heal on its own.
Ren's condition was really high fever, she couldn't fake it. And one of the two had to be seriously ill to look really bad, otherwise it wouldn't look good.
In late September, almost October, she asked Su Ci to pour cold water on her. Ren smiled and said, "Don't be afraid. At worst, you can just take me and run away!"
Su Ci nodded vigorously.
Ren wore her wet underwear for half the night and indeed developed a high fever the next day.
The two women had injuries on their feet and their faces were red and they looked half dead. This greatly relaxed the Beirong people's vigilance. Of course, they were still cautious. Boss Peng simply threw the two of them at the innermost part of the big bunk bed, cursed at them a few times, went over to take a look, and finally asked someone to call a doctor.
This is an important hostage, he cannot die of illness before he is released.
The doctor came and also frowned. He first applied medicine to the two people's feet, then wrote a prescription, shook his head and said that they had to rest for at least half a month before they could recover, otherwise their lives might be in danger.
He spoke so seriously, Su Ci was really grateful to him.
So, the two of them had a better treatment, at least they could sleep in a bed.
After such careful planning, Su Ci finally found a second chance to escape!
That night, they stayed overnight in the dilapidated temple. Just as they were carried down and placed in the back room of the temple that had not collapsed, someone came from the front.
Boss Peng frowned and went forward, and most of the people around him followed him. The other party was not a friend but possibly an enemy, so the group was very alert.
Su Ci opened her eyes slightly in the tattered tent and saw eleven or twelve masked men talking to Boss Peng under the moonlight. Their attire reminded Su Ci of the master who suddenly appeared on the banks of the Yongji River that day.
The situation outside was tense. There were only eleven or twelve people on the other side, but the dozens of people here were extremely alert. The two people beside Su Ci also drew their swords and went out.
During the confrontation outside, Ren suddenly convulsed and vomited the medicine in pain. The person who stayed behind was shocked and asked, "Is there something wrong with the medicine?" !
Ren twitched and suddenly stopped moving, which startled the man. He quickly leaned over to feel her neck pulse.
Right at this moment!
Ren suddenly hugged his head, held his mouth and head tightly in her arms, and sucked his milk with all her might!
Su Ci jumped up, picked up the brick she had picked out a long time ago and hit him hard on the back of the head!
Under normal circumstances, such a weathered earth brick would not be enough to kill a person, so Boss Peng and his men did not use it as a weapon. But unfortunately, the man met Su Ci, who aimed at his brain stem area, and with quick, accurate and ruthless blow, she smashed the entire brick into pieces with one blow, and the man simply stopped moving.
The brain stem is the center of life, the most vulnerable point. After being hit so hard, the man fainted. Su Ci and Ren Shi covered his mouth one while strangling his neck the other. Soon, the man died.
The two helped each other, climbed out from the broken rear window, and ran forward quickly hand in hand!
Su Ci was better. Her fever was not high and her ankle injury was gradually healing. With her adrenaline rushing through her, the slight discomfort was completely suppressed and she ran very fast!
Ren was in worse condition. She had a high fever and didn't know any martial arts. After running for more than two quarters of an hour, her speed gradually slowed down. Su Ci carried her and rushed quickly into the reeds. There was a village nearby, and she wanted to find a small boat.
The pursuers are already behind us!
About a few hundred meters after the two men escaped, there was a sudden commotion in the earth temple behind them, like the sound of horse hooves and weapons clashing.
Su Ci certainly hoped that it was someone who came to rescue them.
But in fact, she felt that it was more likely that the two groups of people had added reinforcements. That was how Boss Peng's "caravan" had added people along the way. After several times, she no longer had any hope.
She finally found a small boat and was overjoyed. As she was bending over to untie it, she heard the wind whistling behind her. She gritted her teeth and dodged. The dagger stabbed hard into the bottom of the boat, making a hole. Su Ci kicked out, pulled out the dagger, and stabbed the man hard!
A man with a knife rushed towards Su Ci. Ren shook her head vigorously and rushed forward with all her strength. The man stabbed him with a dagger in his backhand, but was knocked over by Su Ci!
Su Ci is good at martial arts, and her strange and special moves allow her to hold on for a while, and she even uses trickery to knock down two people. But as time goes on, she gradually falls into a disadvantage. There seems to be the sound of running in the distance again, and Ren's pounce on the last Beirong man but she misses him, and he grabs his neck and stabs him hard!
If Ren was not rescued, she would die soon. Su Ci gritted her teeth, and at the last moment let go of the Beirong man who had fallen to the ground and was waiting to be killed, and rushed over headfirst, barely saving Ren!
The dying Beirong man had his throat cut, but he was not dead yet. He covered his bloody throat, his eyes bloodshot, picked up the dagger and stabbed Su Ci fiercely!
A person's final blow before death is extremely fierce! What's more, Su Ci had used up all her strength and fell backwards on the ground, so she was stabbed right in the abdomen. With a "puff" sound, the dagger went deep into her.
Su Ci gritted her teeth and kicked her away, then turned over and picked up another dagger that had fallen on the ground. Ren was dragging the last Beirong man tightly, while Su Ci rode on his back and stabbed him hard! !
After being stabbed more than ten times, the man was covered in blood and flesh and was dead.
The human will to survive is really hard to describe. The two women with fever and sore limbs actually succeeded in killing three Beirong people who were more skilled and healthier than them. It was a pity that some of their own people were also injured. Ren's arms and thighs were covered with knife wounds and bleeding profusely, and Su Ci's abdomen was still stabbed with a dagger, and neither of them dared to pull it out.
Ren stumbled to her feet and pushed the boat to the river. She turned around and half supported and half carried Su Ci on her back. She carried Su Ci onto the boat, pushed the boat into the water, and then flipped over and dived in.
I pushed towards the shore with all my strength, and the boat swung away, and was suddenly carried rapidly downstream by the river!
