Going to Beijing to save his father, all the powerful officials in the city are vying to be his fath

Zhao Liangchen hurried over and found that a narrow path had been cut in the forest. Judging from the traces, it seemed that the path had been cut not long ago.

The runner from the Ministry of Justice who had come with Zhao Liangchen was an expert at tracking criminals. Using the firelight, he carefully examined the footprints and broken branches on the path. Then, he turned back and said to Zhao Liangchen, "Master Zhao, these tracks are very recent, no more than two hours old. But judging by the footprints, there must be dozens of people. We only have six fugitives, so they don't look like the ones we're looking for."

Because this mountain range is close to the imperial army camp, ordinary people are not allowed to approach it, and it is impossible for others to come hunting.

Today is a holiday, and the imperial guards cannot go into the mountains to hunt, so this new trace is most likely made by the fugitive. However, the number of people does not match now, and if we chase them rashly, we may not only chase the wrong person, but also fall into an ambush by the enemy.

Zhao Liangchen asked, "What else can you see?"

The man asked someone to bring a few more torches and lay on the ground to study it carefully. Then he let out a "hmm" sound. Zhao Liangchen hurriedly asked, "How is it? Have you found anything?"

The man replied without even looking up, "These footprints are very mixed, but judging by their size and depth, we can tell there are people of all ages, and even women. This is strange. How could there be children and women among the people we're chasing?"

Zhao Liangchen's eyes darkened after hearing this: "It's possible."

The man then looked up and asked in surprise, "What do you mean, sir?"

Zhao Liangchen: "Those people should be the fugitive's family members. I don't know much about the others, but I know Zhao Kuo very well. He has lost his parents, but he has a wife and children. He and his wife have only been married for two years, and his son is over one year old. His family disappeared long before he was arrested. I guess their family members have been hiding here and escaped with them this time."

In his previous life, Zhao Kuo’s family members had never been found. After he was reborn, he tried to find his family members, but it was like a stone sinking into the sea, with no news at all. It turned out that these people were hiding in the imperial guards camp, so they could definitely not be found.

The people in the Ministry of Justice also remembered that many of the families of the criminals who were caught in the case of the Ministry of Justice's disaster relief silver had not been found.

Then asked: "Then should we still chase?"

Zhao Liangchen nodded firmly: "Chase them. They are dragging their whole family and trying to make a way. They can't run fast. This time we light the torches and run faster. We should be able to catch up."

So everyone lit their torches and soon the valley was illuminated, and they followed the path all the way up.

Sure enough, when they were crossing another hill, someone saw a few fire spots halfway up another hill. He immediately pointed them out to Zhao Liangchen excitedly: "The heads are right there."

Zhao Liangchen also saw it. Seeing that the fire spots were moving very slowly, he immediately ordered: "Chase."

The people on the opposite side also saw them, after all, their torches were really bright, and then the speed of the opposite side obviously increased a bit. A gust of night wind blew, and the faint cry of a child could be heard.

Zhao Liangchen and his men were well-trained soldiers. They rushed to the opposite mountain very quickly. When they reached halfway up the mountain, they could still see the luggage they had left behind during their hasty escape. They could even see the children they had left behind if they chased for a while.

Zhao Liangchen and his men kept chasing, but there was no clear road ahead. It was probably because the other party was fleeing in a panic and it was too late to clear a road, so they could only go wherever they could.

And according to the traces, they should have run away separately, so Zhao Liangchen decisively ordered to chase them separately.

He chased along the most chaotic road, and soon he saw a crying woman in the grass. He swept his torch over her and recognized her as Zhao Kuo's wife.

The woman was also stunned when she saw Zhao Liangchen's face.

Zhao Liangchen didn't look at her again but chased forward. However, when he passed the woman, he was suddenly grabbed by the hem of his clothes. The woman raised her head and asked tearfully, "Liangchen, didn't your father let us go? Why are you still chasing us? You are not giving us a way to live. We are all family. Please let us go."

Zhao Liangchen didn't even glance at him. He kicked her hands away and walked forward, saying, "Tie her up."

Behind him came the woman's crazy curses and screams, but Zhao Liangchen didn't care. In his previous life, he would definitely be gentle and sympathetic to women, but in his new life, he didn't want to be bound by anyone. This woman seemed innocent, but she was not innocent.

Zhao Liangchen didn’t know in his previous life, but after his rebirth, he reviewed all the details of his previous life. This woman must have been sent out by the family to win over people just like Madam Zhao.

Her family was a seventh-rank official in the Guanglu Temple. The official position was not high, but it was a perfect match for Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo embarked on the path of rebellion not only because of Zhao Jian, but also with the support of his wife and his in-laws.

Seeing that this woman would rather sacrifice herself and her son to help Zhao Kuo escape, it is obvious that she has been brainwashed and is willing to sacrifice everything to help that man accomplish his great cause.

There are many people like her who firmly support that person. That person is so charming, several times better than the emperor, that half-grown boy. How could he not attract people to follow him?

Zhao Liangchen rushed to the front. His clothes were torn and his face was scratched. His leg was still hurting and the wound was broken open and bleeding. He didn't care about these things and was determined to catch up with Zhao Kuo.

However, Zhao Kuo was also a good fighter in the imperial guards, otherwise he would not have been chosen, so he escaped very quickly, and Zhao Liangchen had a hard time chasing him due to his leg injury.

After finally seeing Zhao Kuo's figure, Zhao Liangchen took the bow from his back, drew the bow and shot.

When they set out, they all carried bows in case of any emergency, but the light in the forest was poor at night and there were many obstacles, which greatly affected their archery.

But I can't take care of these things now. If Zhao Kuo really runs away, I will definitely not be able to find him in this vast mountain.

Zhao Liangchen chased and shot at Zhao Kuo's direction, but he missed because of the influence. However, because he had to dodge the arrows, it also affected Zhao Kuo's speed, allowing Zhao Liangchen to catch up a little closer.

Finally, when the last arrow was shot, a muffled groan was heard in front.

Zhao Liangchen threw away the bow in his hand and chased after him. Zhao Kuo was shot in the calf and was still running forward while dragging his injured leg. Zhao Liangchen caught up to him and pounced on him and grabbed Zhao Kuo's injured leg.

Zhao Kuo didn't hesitate at all. He turned around and kicked Zhao Liangchen with his other leg. Zhao Liangchen subconsciously tried to feel for his dagger in his boots, but found nothing. Then he remembered that he had given the dagger to Su Qin.

Because of this pause, he was kicked on the head by Zhao Kuo. Zhao Kuo used all his strength and Zhao Liangchen saw stars, but he did not let go. He held Zhao Kuo's injured leg tightly and pressed the arrow with his hand and stirred it hard.

Zhao Kuo fell to the ground in pain. It was only when he fell that he saw clearly that the person who caught him was Zhao Liangchen. He asked in surprise: "Zhao Liangchen, why is it you?"

Zhao Liangchen looked up and gave him a meaningful smile: "Yeah, why would it be me? Maybe it's because only our Zhao family really knows where you are hiding."

Zhao Kuo's pupils shrank: "You know? This is impossible, your father..."

He subconsciously shut up, but Zhao Liangchen smiled: "What's wrong with my father? You think he won't tell me, right? Why not? I am his biological son, and you are just a member of the clan. How can an outsider compare to his son?

Zhao Kuo, you are no longer useful. Just go with peace of mind. Thank you for your contribution to the Zhao family. Your contribution will be remembered by King Liang. When the time comes, I will enjoy the wealth and honor that you cannot enjoy, and the high position and generous salary, for you.
