Chapter 33 [Tracking]

Thirty miles from Baicao City, the maintenance of the official road is obviously much worse. The bumpy sand dunes can barely be seen as a road. On both sides are clusters of low weeds and undulating sand dunes. From time to time, huge shale stone pillars that are eroded by wind and sand can be seen standing alone in the wilderness, like strange objects abandoned by ancient times.

A carriage was galloping slowly on the official road, and there was a strong yellow horse tied behind the carriage. With the sound of brisk hooves, the bow, arrow, hunting knives and bags on the horse's back also rose and fell.

A big turn of sand dune appeared in front of him. Luo Xiao shook his long whip and made a whip in the empty space on the left side of the horse. The right hand that was pulling the reins retracted and released, and the horse turned lightly. The wheel on the left side of the carriage slightly off the ground, quickly and steadily completing a large turn of nearly 70 degrees.

"I can't tell, you really know how to drive the car." Cheng Feifeng, who lifted the curtain, looked at it and was amazed.

"Learn a little." Luo Xiao had no expression on his face. Of course, he would not say that in order to earn living expenses, he had worked in the Liu family carriage in Yishui City for more than half a year.

In Luo Xiao's opinion, if you want to escape, riding a horse is more convenient and faster than driving a car. However, the real fast horse is only the one he received from the Xiuwu Hall. The only one who drives is the horse, the speed is not fast, but the endurance is better. The patrol cavalry they defeated are all military horses, and there is a border army mark on the horse's buttocks. Riding such a horse will only cause greater trouble. So Luo Xiao had no choice but to drive away and wait until the market town in front to consider changing the horses.

In fact, Luo Xiao is very depressed now. It is unexpected that a simple task has actually been done like this. He didn't know if there would be any border troops colluding with the Tula people in front of him to intercept him, but he could be sure that there must be pursuers behind him, and the Tula people would never let them go easily.

"We are almost at Hongliu Town in front. There are regiments and militias there. As long as we enter the town, even if Tula people catch up, they will not dare to do anything." Cheng Feifeng was behind Luo Xiao, but seemed to see Luo Xiao's worries and comforted in a low voice.

Luo Xiao nodded without saying a word, but Lao Feiyan used his radish-thick fingers to make a slash in his hand: "The first thing he did after entering the town was to buy a whetstone. The weapon made by this small iron shop was not good. He would just knock it over a few times and then roll it up. It would be better for me to use the knife..."

Cheng Feifeng gave her cousin a blank look: "Your huge force... your opponent's sword is broken by you, okay? It's already good to roll the blade steel fire. You think it's the horse-slashing sword made of your original black iron."

"Ah! My knife! Damn Tula dog..."

Amid Lao Feiyan's curse, the carriage was moving forward, and the circle of walls surrounded by earthen siege in front was far away.

...

More than twenty miles away from Luo Xiao and the other three, Agush, led Tikseri, Su Bai and Yan Hong, who was almost furious, were following the mark of the rut.

Although Yan Hong's cavalry were not dead, they were all seriously injured and had no power to fight anymore. Only he was still intact.

Yan Hong, the border military captain, actually had more than just such a few troops. He commanded a whole team of more than fifty cavalry teams. However, this time he took action to the invitation of Tula people. He was not allowed to be on the table and was not ashamed of the crowd, so he could only pull out his confidant to take action. This cavalry was his confidant, but he almost died. All his confidants were ruined and were ridiculed by Tula people... It is not difficult to understand Yan Hong's bad luck and violent mentality at this moment.

However, at this moment, the Tule people had no time to mock Yan Hong again. Agush was solemnly celebrating a middle-aged goat walking beside him: "I didn't expect that even Brother Colin was alarmed by these little guys in the martial arts training hall. Hehe, with Brother Colin joining the pursuit, these little guys can't fly even if they have wings."

The person who rode with Agush was the Goat Shore Manager who followed him because of his suspicion of Luo Xiao, and his subordinate Xiao Ba. The shopkeeper and cousin named Colin were not Tula people, but obviously they were also in the same group with Agush. The Tula Alliance bordered Wuyang Kingdom and Zhuyue Kingdom, and had recruited many powerful people from these two countries in secret. It was not a strange thing that did not appear under Tula people.

Colin smiled and returned the greeting, glanced at Yan Hong indifferently: "Captain Yan, you can't even stop a few disciples from the martial arts temple, and you even turn into a cavalry. This makes our efforts feel like we are waived."

Yan Hong's face was so gloomy that he could scrape off the frost. He let out a sigh of relief: "I miscalculated this time, but I didn't expect that the boy had a spiritual weapon..."

"What? Spiritual weapon!" Agush suddenly moved and stared at Yan Hong tightly, "Are you sure?"

Yan Hong hesitated for a moment and gritted his teeth and said, "Although I don't know how to identify it, the blue round shield gives me the feeling that it looks like the body-protecting spiritual weapon of Lord Chengshou's 'Black Armguard'. It can burst out blue light to offset the erosion of my mysterious sword light, and it is very likely to be a spiritual weapon!"

Agush stroked his thick beard, and his light brown eyes were filled with an unexpected surprise: "If it was really a spiritual weapon... Well, this young man might not be simple if he could be with the daughter of the Lord of Yishui City. Maybe this young man was also a nephew of the city guard. Maybe he could have a spiritual weapon."

"Spiritual weapon?! Could it be that..." Colin suddenly remembered what the master said when he taught the breath-retention technique to these warriors of all levels. Because this secret technique comes from the ancient demon clan, before the monster prey, the aura of restraint made the prey relax its vigilance, which is a natural instinct. Combined with the secret techniques of the human race, this breath-retention technique was derived. But there is a congenital defect, that is, if you encounter a powerful spiritual weapon refined with high-level spirit beasts, the breath-retention technique will instinctively stimulate rebound and lose control. It is like two powerful beasts in the jungle meeting, which will instinctively release their own breath and fight against the other party.

Recalling the situation that day, Colin became more and more sure. Yan Hong guessed that, right. The young man did have a spiritual weapon on his body, and it must be a spiritual weapon made of powerful spirit beasts as the main material, which would cause his breath-catching technique to lose control.

"Like the same as the Black Yao arm guard, even higher-grade spiritual weapons, there are not many in the entire league..." Colin's gloomy eyes showed a hint of greed and strong possessiveness. His original intention of chasing Luo Xiao was just to figure out why the breath-catching technique suddenly lost control. Now that he figured it out, his purpose has also changed, from dispensable to a firm pursuit - he must get that powerful spiritual weapon!

Agush and Yan Hong were not sure yet, but Collin knew very well that those who could cause the breath-catching technique of a warrior-level strongman like him would never be an ordinary person, but they could only be high-level spiritual weapons!

At this time, Agush's hazel eyes also showed the same strong desire as Colin. He shook the reins and accelerated suddenly: "Go harder, don't let them escape!"

...

Although Hongliu Town is a famous town, such a border town is at most similar to the larger villages in the country. A circle of winding earth walls surrounded by more than meter high walls to protect the town. The town has a population of only a hundred households, only one cross street, an inn that also cares for food and accommodation, plus a mule and horse shop and blacksmith shop, basically there are no shops.

However, this town also has the obvious characteristics of the border town, that is, its military protection is very strong. There are high watchtowers and arrow towers at the east and west entrances of the market town, and there are regiment training militia patrols day and night. There is also a team of regiment training troops in the town, which is equivalent to reserve troops. It can defend against thieves on weekdays and recruit auxiliary troops in wartime, which is considered a feature of the border town.

At dusk, a horse was tied behind a carriage to the west entrance of Hongliu Town.

There were three militiamen on duty on the arrow tower, two of them posed a bow and arrow, and their arrows were slanted, and they were in a state where they could shoot the invaders at any time. The man with a big knife in his back and a wooden sign hanging from his waist leaned out and stared at the driver on the carriage vigilant: "Where did you come from? Where?"

The coachman raised his head, pulled the scarf below, revealing a young man's face: "Whitecao City comes, go east."

The sergeant saw the boy's appearance and said in surprise: "It's you? That disciple of the martial arts temple in Yishui City seems to be named Luo...what?"

The boy smiled and said, "Luo Xiao."

The sergeant slapped his forehead and said, "Hey! It's you."

Luo Xiao just left Hongliu Town two days ago. When he left the town, he was also the sergeant who checked the sergeant, so he naturally recognized it immediately.

"Brother Luo will be finished so soon?"

Luo Xiao was speechless, what does it mean to finish so quickly...

"Hahaha, it's all right. This northwest land is not a place to support people." The sergeant glanced at the carriage and said, "Remember the rules?"

Luo Xiao nodded: "Supply the weapons and get them out of the town."

"Okay, go in." The sergeant waved his hand and the heavy steel and wooden gate slowly rose.

Less than a moment when Luo Xiao drove the carriage into the town, Agush, Colin, Yan Hong and others appeared in front of the west entrance.

The sergeant poked his head out: "Where do you come from the fight? Where can I go?"

Yan Hong recognized this sergeant commander, but he was ill-intentioned in this trip and even replaced the standard military armor. Naturally, he didn't want people to recognize him, so he hurried to the end of the team without saying a word.

Xiao Ba stepped forward and replied, "Come from Baicao City, go east."

"Do you know the rules?"

"I understand, hand over the weapons and get them out of the town."

The sergeant stared at Agush and others. Even if these people were covered with their faces, they could tell from their high noses and deep eyes that they were Tula people. They pointed at the sheathed waist knife at the several people: "Turite people, be content... go in."
