The Villain is Reborn! Princess Zhan goes on a killing spree in the capital

Chapter 280 Something is wrong, the signal fire has not yet been lit

This time, Su Jixue did not hold back.

She slipped away in front of Emperor Ming of Dongchu and all the officials, and Xiaoying followed closely behind her and headed straight for the Imperial Household Department.

The yamen runners and officials on duty at the Imperial Equipage Temple were awakened by the sound of horse hooves. They rushed to the horse farm in panic, only to see that the most precious fast horses of the Imperial Equipage Temple were ridden out by a group of people. The most outrageous thing was that they not only rode them themselves, but also drove out the remaining fast horses.

"Who are you? Stealing a warhorse is a serious crime!"

The night watch officers were unable to stop them and could only reason with them.

"The Emperor has ordered the requisition of the Imperial Household's fast horses!"

Manager Huo simply displayed the badge given by the emperor and rode past on his horse.

They didn't stop at all, nor did they wait for Eleven and the others to catch up. They drove the fast horses directly to the city gate, handed them over to the gatekeepers, and rushed out.

At this moment, nearly an hour had passed since Zong Kui left.

At the three-way intersection outside the city gate, Su Jixue chose the path that Zong Kui took without hesitation.

"Do you want to determine the whereabouts?" asked Manager Huo.

"No need, this is the route they took." Su Jixue pointed directly ahead without explaining.

Manager Huo stopped talking and completely trusted Su Jixue.

No one in this world understood Zong Kui better than Su Jixue, so her choice couldn't be wrong. After all, throughout their journey, Su Jixue had always been the first to detect Zong Kui's every move. There must be some bond between the two of them that they were unaware of.

Dawn was breaking and the morning light was dim.

Su Jixue and his group rode at full speed with a solemn look on their faces. They went from Dongchu to Nanqing, out of the capital, through Jizhou, across the river, and through Bailiyuan... This was the only way, but after passing Jizhou, it was actually difficult to track them.

There were many forks in the road, and Su Jixue chose one without any judgment.

Soon, Eleven and the rest of the Owl Camp caught up.

Many years later, the group of people in Dahuang Mountain reunited again. In front of them was still the girl in the fiery red dress, but this time they were no longer mortal enemies.

Instead, they shared a common hatred and hunted down Zong Kui.

One hour is actually enough to accomplish a lot of things, but Zongkui and his men's carriages and horses are definitely not as fast as the Taifu Temple's horses.

"Should we chase them separately?"

Eleven asked after catching up with Su Jixue.

Su Jixue, dressed in red and riding a white horse, fluttering in the wind, is the girl in Eleven's heart.

The rich lady in the capital and the evil woman in the distant Nanqing are not as captivating as this girl with murderous eyes who chases after you without hesitation.

It makes people feel like they have returned to the days of the Great Wilderness Mountain.

"No need, I won't be wrong." Su Jixue said lightly. In fact, the correct way to avoid losing the target is to chase in several directions, no matter who catches up with the signal.

However, there was a blood pact between Su Jixue and Zong Kui, and she had added something to the antidote that Zong Kui drank, so no matter how Zong Kui tried to confuse her, her choice would not be wrong.

"it is good!"

Eleven was different from Master Huo. He nodded in response and unconditionally supported all of Su Jixue's decisions.

But after leaving the capital, Su Jixue went straight to follow Zongkui's footsteps.

But this is not the way to Jizhou.

"Are you sure it's this direction?" Manager Huo couldn't help but ask. This was the opposite direction of Nanqing, and it actually went straight to the southwest.

Su Jixue's expression was not very good. She looked in the direction ahead and asked, "Master Huo, do you have a map of Dongchu?"

"I have it here." Eleven had prepared everything Su Jixue might need before leaving. He had thought that Su Jixue was not originally from Dongchu and might not be so familiar with the terrain of Dongchu.

Su Jixue didn't stop her horse, but took out the map and took a quick look at it. She pointed to the location on the map and asked, "Where is this?"

If Dongchu had never been in Ji Xue's eyes, she would be somewhat unfamiliar with the terrain outside the capital.

But Zong Kui will not go to Jizhou. According to the current route, his final destination may be the place pointed out by Su Jixue.

Eleven frowned: "This is Songcheng!"

Manager Huo couldn't help but frown: "Is he going to take the water route?"

Songcheng is the closest coastal town to the capital, with a seaport, Luoxia Port. It was originally a trade hub and a major seaport. Normally, this wouldn't be the place to go, as a ship is essential to depart from the port.

However, if the cargo ship is not fast and does not have artillery, it cannot take care of its own offense and defense.

All ships docking at Luoxia Port must have official approval, and only domestic ships are allowed to dock here.

"Thirty-eight, go to Songcheng first and have the garrison blockade the port."

"Twenty-four, go inform the War King about this."

Although Chief Huo thought Zong Kui couldn't possibly take the water route, he still sent someone there just to be on the safe side. These were the two with the best footing in the Great Wilderness Mountains and the best escape skills.

Su Jixue glanced at Master Huo, a master who was a special case even in the Great Wilderness Mountain. His reaction speed and arrangements when encountering problems were appropriate.

"Chase!"

At this moment, the urgency is greater than before. After all, if they travel by land, the speed of a fast horse will sooner or later catch up with that of an ordinary horse.

But now, if Zong Kui chooses to take the water route.

Then they have to speed up.

Although the customs of Dongchu should conduct strict inspections, what if something goes wrong?

If there really is a boat, Zong Kui might really be able to escape this time.

at the same time-

The War King also assembled three armies and went out of the city to pursue.

With the marks left by Su Jixue and the others, Zhan Wang and the others chased them all the way, but Twenty-Four soon reunited with Zhan Wang.

"Master, Miss Su is chasing after this. I guess Zongkui's target might be Songcheng!" Twenty-four had already pushed his lightness skills and leg strength to the limit and was panting with exhaustion.

"Song City?" The War King frowned and looked back at the wolf smoke tower in the capital. At this time, the wolf smoke had not yet been lit.

This is not right.

However, the Emperor Ming's original promise to have the Qianji Office notify all along the way and light smoke signals as a warning was never implemented.

"Su Mo, take the people from the Five Cities Military Department to light the signal fire." The War King said as he threw a token to Su Mo. "Also, if anything goes wrong with the Thousand Machines Department, kill the leader and have the deputy leader execute the previous plan."

The War King's narrow eyes were deep, and his gaze seemed to weigh a thousand pounds on Su Mo.

"You could possibly do it?"

At this moment, the sun rose in the east. Su Mo looked at the War King, who was looking down from his steed, and at the capital of Dongchu, which had been left behind. Now the War King had entrusted Su Mo with a crucial task, which was both a trust in him and an opportunity for him.

"Su Mo, I will obey your orders and accomplish my mission!"

Su Mo straightened his chest. His back, which had been suppressed for more than a decade, was now becoming increasingly straight. He glanced back at the men behind him and said, "Come on, tell the War King if we can do this!"

"can!"

The Five Cities Army shouted in unison.

At this moment, an inexplicable sense of pride rose in Zhongren's heart. They were once the most humble, but now, they are also the most important.

They have definitely set off the signal smoke!
