The First Tyrant of Daxia

Qin Yun added: "While searching, pay attention to whether there are any villages or towns near the road. If there are, you can go in and ask them if there are any missing people like before."

"If you have discovered traces of Okita Taro's army within a range of ten miles, then there is no need to explore beyond the range of ten miles. Just bring your men back and report."

"My subordinate understands."

Lu Bai did not ask any more questions and directly led the Jinyiwei to rush towards the route Wagner escaped.

While Lu Bai was investigating, Qin Yun also let his troops have a good rest. After all, health is the capital of revolution. Although Qin Yun was in a hurry, he would still let them rest when they have time.

Qin Yun can only wait patiently for Lu Bai's news to come back. After all, if he gets the direction wrong, blindly chasing will only get him further and further away from Okita Taro.

Direction is very important. Qin Yun has made a mistake once, and he doesn't want to make it a second time.

Time passed quickly, and about an hour later, Lu Bai came back with the Jinyiwei.

The Jinyiwei were the elite among the elite, so their speed was naturally incomparable to that of ordinary soldiers, so they could move back and forth very quickly.

Lu Bai came to Qin Yun without stopping and quickly told Qin Yun the results of his investigation.

"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, I have found traces of Taro Okita's army five miles away!" Lu Bai said.

Qin Yun narrowed his eyes immediately. It seemed that things were just as he thought. Okita Taro did not leave in the direction pointed by the Peacock King, but chose another way to leave.

Everything Wagner did behind the scenes was just acting, the purpose was to mislead Qin Yun and make Qin Yun think that they would not go on the same road. In this way, Qin Yun would chase along the road designed by Taro Okita.

“I almost got fooled.”

Qin Yun's face looked a little grim, and he immediately gave the order: "Gather the troops and prepare to pursue immediately!"

The 300,000 troops who were resting immediately began to move. After a short while, they had assembled and stood in an orderly manner.

At Qin Yun's command, the army immediately set off.

The Peacock King followed Qin Yun with a guilty conscience.

Although he didn't know why the wrong directions occurred, the current situation was that Qin Yun had indeed taken the wrong road. He didn't know whether Qin Yun would blame him, so he felt scared.

Qin Yun glanced at him calmly and said, "King Kongqueming, you seem very nervous."

The Peacock King smiled guiltily, "Your Majesty, this Okita Taro is so insidious. I really don't know why he didn't go the way I saw. The Loulan soldiers under my command can prove that I am not lying. Many soldiers also saw the route that Okita Taro took when he left!"

Looking at the Peacock King who was eager to explain, Qin Yun's expression did not change at all. He just said lightly, "When Okita Taro decided to let Wagner hold you back, he had already thought of a way to escape. It's normal that you didn't foresee it."

"As for why he escaped through another route, that's easy to explain. This forest is so vast, and if he just went in there, you wouldn't be able to find him."

"Yeah!"

The Peacock King quickly nodded in agreement with Qin Yun, "I think so too. This Okita Taro is too cunning. I really didn't lie, Your Majesty."

He was afraid that Qin Yun would chop him to death if he got upset, which would be very frustrating for him.

Qin Yun found the expression of the Peacock King somewhat funny. Although he had suspected that the Peacock King might be a traitor, once he thought about it, he could find that it was unlikely that the Peacock King might be a traitor.

Judging from his various performances, the Peacock King is quite loyal to him, and the Peacock King's IQ is not enough to support him to complete this series of tasks.

The most important part of Okita Taro's plan was the Peacock King. If the Peacock King had not seen with his own eyes Taro Okita leading the army to escape in that direction.

Then no matter how Wagner induces, Qin Yun will not think that the two of them did not escape from the same route. He may think more and discover Okita Taro's conspiracy.

If the Peacock King is really a traitor, then his actions are too obvious. Anyone can guess it. Who would use such an obvious traitor?

From a long-term perspective, if the Peacock King is really a traitor, then his role will obviously be much greater if he hides in the dark than if he is exposed.

Therefore, Qin Yun believed that the Peacock King was not a traitor, he was just stupid enough to be used by Okita Taro.

"Keep accelerating!"

Qin Yun frowned and gave orders, and the army's speed accelerated again amid the soldiers' inner wailing.

If Wagner and Taro Okita escaped by the same route, Bazzati and Bianpan would be in danger.

In front of the blood soldiers, ten thousand cavalrymen were not enough to make them invincible, but instead put them in danger of defeat.

Qin Yun now only hopes that Bazarti and Bianpan don’t chase too closely. Okita Taro is likely to launch a surprise attack or ambush them. If this is the case, Bazarti and Bianpan will be in danger.

Now we can only hope that Okita Taro is focused on escaping and won't do anything crazy like this.

Qin Yun led the army and tracked Wagner along the escape route.

In order to avoid the problem of pursuing in the wrong direction, Qin Yun asked Lu Bai to lead the Jinyiwei to explore the way ahead.

After running for five miles, Qin Yun indeed found some ice-blue bloodstains in the grass beside the road.

The bloodstains were rather obscure, and the traces on the road were also very light, probably only traces of Wagner's army, and no traces of bloody soldiers at all.

It seems that Okita Taro is very cautious. Even if he tricks Qin Yun away, he will still clean up the traces left by his army.

Wagner had no need to clean up any traces of his escape. His purpose was to make Qin Yun think that he escaped in this direction, and Okita Taro escaped in a different direction from him.

In addition, Qin Yun also discovered some traces of cavalry, which should be the traces left by Bazarti and Bian Pan during their pursuit.

Qin Yun led his army to continue the pursuit.

Lu Bai led the Jinyiwei to continue searching for traces of the blood soldiers in front. Under the Jinyiwei's careful search, all traces of Okita Taro and his blood soldiers were discovered.

Following these traces, Qin Yun quickly formed an escape route for Okita Taro in his mind.

What made Qin Yun feel relieved was that although he could not use common sense to infer the bloodstains of the blood soldiers, it seemed that they had just left not long ago, so he should be able to catch up with them.
