Vol 21 Chapter 2 (2/2)
About 5 on that wasits way here, their destination e
Xiang Shaolong’s limbs went cold immediately
Jing Nian’s concern is not for nothing, the enee and knows that so
In this era there’s not a lot of people with the fa Jun and Jing Shan Otherould the eneht?
If Xiang Shaolong is a selfish person, he will run aith no hesitation at this very moment, the further he can run the better But how can he escape by himself
Just as he was feeling at a loss, he suddenly had an idea He got hold of an opportunity and galloped towards a dense forest that the enee and took out his fire starter to start fire on several spots
If it’s spring or summer, this plan would not have worked But now the wind is blowing and the atht from the stars illuminated the plains and in a short while the fire spread and thick smoke rushed up to the sky
Not only can this fire prevent the ene forward, it can also convey a e and urge them to leave faster
Xiang Shaolong orried that they won’t run after him so he deliberately made the horse ran loudly and swiftly on the plains towards the northeast
He’d rather lose his own life than to let anyone in the Jing fae come to any harm
By the ti on the endless plains but he has already slowed down
This time, he deliberately revealed his whereabouts to lure the enemy to ran after him so that they will have no tie If his opponent has expert trackers, this plan of his will be a very dangerous one
From time to time he will come across rivers or strea normal circumstances is a feast to the eyes, have not become his obstacles instead
Luckily right until now there’s no sight of the pursuing enemy If such a situation continues, he will be able to safely reach the unpopulated mountainous areas at the Han and Wei border
The Weis will never expect that instead of going west towards Qin, he’d actually travel east towards the Han border so they certainly won’t put up their guards there By then he’ll be able to travel back to Tunliu via the Han border
The horse is foa had no choice but to stop and stand guard at a high area to let the horse graze and drink at a small stream below the slope
He has no appetite for food at all but to preserve his energy, he had no choice but to force himself to so mouthfuls of dried meat
The taste is actually not too bad
These past few years, there were very little occasions for hi in the wilderness alone and he can’t help but think about his strange time travel encounter
In a blink of an eye, it’s been seven years
During these years, even those closest to hi Yi etc does not know his secret He can only keep this piece of earth shattering secret that he is actually from the 21st century deep in his heart
As for Xiao Pan’s secret, there’s still Teng Yi and Wu Tingfang who knows
He is very clear on what Xiao Pan’s fate will be, because Xiao Pan will become Emperor Qin, the one who built and unified China
But he is totally unclear about his own fate
Even the question of returning to Xianyang alive is an unknown right at this moment
Just as he was pondering, he could hear hoof beats coain
Xiang Shaolong was shocked and looking over, his countenance changed immediately
He saw that near the woods about twoat full speed but only half of the horses have riders while the others ithout saddles
From the way that the horses can run so neatly and swiftly behind theleashed, he knows that, not only are these horses quality horses but also well trained warhorses
After so many years of experience, he has learnt how to differentiate people by their riding skills
These 27 riders could still weave left and right effortlessly in such mountainous and unfamiliar terrain, he knew that they are all first rated riders
The worst thing is that his riding and archery skills are still his weakest On such flat terrain and with thee to catch up with him, he won’t even have the chance to retaliate The enemy can catch up with him so quickly, so theyNian heard, the experts under specific orders by Han wang’an to arrest him
Xiang Shaolong surveyed his surroundings, gritted his teeth and dashed down the slope He jumped onto the horse’s back and quietly allop around the small hill and run for his life
His destination is the dense forest at the end of the flat plains If he can make his way there, he’ll be able to s there to have a life and death battle with the enemy He will not sit there and be killed and sully the reputation of the best special task force warrior of the 21st century
Xiang Shaolong reear from the horse and used a cloth to tie two heavy stones which is about his weight and hung it on the horse’s saddle After that he used a sharp knife and pierced into the horse’s buttock
The horse screaalloped into the dense forest with the stones on it
By now the pursuing ene Shaolong stepped into the strea it so that the enemy will not be able to find his footsteps, they ht up with him
But since the enemy can still follow hi trackers a them
He dare not hesitate and hurriedly carried his luggage and ran deep into the forest
After walking for a while, he could hear hoof beats passing hi away
Xiang Shaolong heaved a sigh of relief as he sped up and ran towards a tall hill in the forest
Even if he ca his way, he dare not use his sword to cut the traces behind
He has gone for about a hundred odd feet when he could hear the hoof beats hurriedly returning froht towards his position
Xiang Shaolong calmed down instead at this time
As a member of the special task force, it is a requirement and an iron rule that one er
He quietly analyzed the situation and thought that since the enemy could tell that it’s a trap, he is sure that they are not only relying on hoof prints to pursue hi nearer and nearer and fro
Xiang Shaolong was suddenly enlightened and was feeling ecstatic instead of shocked He hid hi soe with the rabbit from his back and waited patiently
By now the sky is slowly getting darker Xiang Shaolong took out his dagger and peeped through the leaves, totally concentrating on the movements outside
The dog barks stopped only to hear hasty footsteps coo on foot
In a short while, more than ten odd black shadows that were spread out came slowly towards hi on to a leash with a splace
Xiang Shaolong quietly opened the cage
The rabbit was already tre in fear when it heard the barks earlier and now that it saw an escape route, it shot out like an arrow and ran off towards the left
That dog was indeed instantly alert and turned towards that direction, barking and running madly
The person holding the leash shouted, “Hurry! Spot is running towards that direction!”
The enemy all ran after it
Once Xiang Shaolong has made sure that all the enemy has retreated, he ju to hi ruthless but in such a situation, there’s no place for mercy at all’
