"Ma'am, based on our years of experience, they are the most likely to take this road. Besides, there are traces of carriages and horses on this road." The general tried to persuade Gu Yuzhu, "They are all injured. Walk on two legs, but you can't get out of the pursuers."

"Commander Wang, but I smell blood here." Gu Yuzhu also tried to convince the other party.

She took the lantern in her hand and looked around, "Besides, you can look at the grass here, there are obviously signs of being touched by someone."

Her fingertips touched the trampled grass, put it on the tip of her nose and smelled it.

I can still smell the fragrance of green grass vaguely.

"The juice from the grass blades being trampled hasn't dried up yet, so there's a high probability that they haven't gone far."

In terms of reconnaissance, she has been on the field in her previous life, and her abilities are not weaker than those of the Wucheng soldiers and horses.

But the Commander Wang didn't take it seriously, "Most of the outside is dry grass, and a little trampled fresh grass leaves can't explain anything. Now it's darker at night, and the fog is hazy. Someone walked by a few hours ago. The ground It’s not necessarily moist, either.”

Both of them have their own opinions, and neither can convince the other.

Gu Yuzhu couldn't help feeling anxious, "Since we can't convince each other, it's better to divide into two groups."

Continuing to refute meaninglessly in this way will only make people run further and further away.

"Are you...sure?" Commander Wang frowned, "If you really insist on spreading your troops, in case the people we catch up here fail to catch them, who should bear the responsibility?"

The Minnan Wang family is not a small person, it is the emperor's key care.

What if no one is caught and the emperor blames him?

Seeing that it was this time, and he was still struggling with these trivial matters, Gu Yuzhu also laughed angrily, and was about to get angry, but the people beside her stopped her.

"In your capacity, you can't bear this responsibility." Song Chengye said coldly, and he casually nodded to another centurion leading the team, "You, follow me."

"Yes."

Apart from this group of troops, the guarding soldiers who followed also followed behind Gu Yuzhu and Song Chengye.

A group of people quickly disappeared in that gloomy path.

A soldier leaned over and asked Commander Wang cautiously: "Commander, they took away so many people, what if we catch up with them later, what should we do if we can't beat them?"

Commander Wang glanced at him coldly, and scolded: "Put away your lazy thoughts, this matter is no small matter, if we can't fight, we can avoid the battle, we can find reinforcements, but if anyone deliberately dawdles on the road , don’t blame me for being rude to him.”

A group of impetuous soldiers lowered their heads guiltily.

"Yes."

And the other side.

After walking the deep path, Gu Yuzhu smelled the smell of blood that was close at hand.

She immediately raised her hand and stopped a group of people, "Wait a minute, I'll search around."

This side is overgrown with grass, and the junction of the lens seems to be a mountain forest, and a few trees can be seen sparsely around the periphery, but in late autumn, the leaves are all gone, and a raven sits on the top of the tree, accompanied by the head Turning, it also made a rattling sound in its throat.

Gu Yuzhu found that the raven was not only looking at this side.

and also……

"Left." Song Chengye reminded.

"Let's go find it together?" Gu Yuzhu said without thinking.

Song Chengye's answer was that he had already gone to the left.

He led the way with a lantern.

The leaves of thatch grass are extraordinarily sharp, and a little carelessness can leave bloodstains on the exposed skin.

But after walking for a short distance, the eyes suddenly opened up.

Not far away, there was a small rotten thatched cottage.

Looking from their position, there was no light at all in that rotten thatched house, and the broken walls and ruins looked extraordinarily gloomy under the moonlight.

The smell of blood extended all the way to that end.

Gu Yuzhu made a decisive decision: "Go and see?"

Song Chengye gave an "um" and still walked in front of her.

The two walked cautiously to the door of the crappy house, but when they were about to step in, Song Chengye raised his hand to stop her.

"Wait." He instinctively sensed the potential danger in the house, and whispered, "Go back first."

"Can……"

"There are more people, so it's more secure." Song Chengye said while protecting her and retreating.

"Then... okay." Gu Yuzhu stared closely at the house in front of him, with hesitation in his brows.

She had a premonition that the prince's family in southern Fujian might be huddled in it.

As long as they go in they can catch people.

inside the house.

Several pairs of eyes were staring at the two retreating people in the dark, and one of them whispered viciously: "These two retreated before they came in. I'm afraid they found something, and they must not be allowed to go back and inform them. Bring people back."

"Yes." One person answered in a low voice, and in an instant, several figures rushed out.

The sound was very subtle, like the wind blowing through the weeds and leaves, but the vigilant two people were still aware of the movement.

Gu Yuzhu looked back, only to see a shadow rushing towards them with a beam of cold light.

"Be careful." She called out in a low voice, and subconsciously pulled the people around her away.

A gleaming long knife swung across the center of where they were standing just now, and there was a terrifying sound of piercing through the air, which showed how much effort was used by the person who swung the knife.

Gu Yuzhu's back was covered with dense cold sweat.

Fortunately, they hid quickly just now, or they would probably be dead now.

Whoosh whoosh!

In the blink of an eye, the masked men in black surrounded the two of them.

Without any hesitation, these people rushed towards the two of them in an instant, and their moves were murderous.

Song Chengye drew out the knife he carried with him to block it, and pushed Gu Yuzhu back, "I'll stop them first, you go and notify someone."

"If you want to go, go together, if you want to stay together, stay together." Gu Yuzhu threw away the lantern in his hand, and said in a low voice, "Just buy me some time."

"Row."

While talking, the two avoided the fierce attack, and Gu Yuzhu even pulled out a signal flare from his waist, holding a fire pocket and pointing it.

"Not good, stop her first!" one of the men in black sternly said.

In an instant, a group of men in black turned around, gave up attacking Song Chengye, and all rushed towards Gu Yuzhu.

Gu Yuzhu pulled the corners of his mouth and smiled: "It's a pity, you are still a step late."

She raised her hand high, and the flare flew into the sky with a whoosh, exploding a colorful flower in the dark night sky.

"boom!"

The loud noise almost attracted the attention of people from a few miles away.

The people from Wucheng Bingmasi who came to search instantly raised their heads and looked at the sky.

The deputy commander was taken aback for a moment, then raised his arms and called out: "All gather, go over there."

He quickly gathered his men and horses.
