Chapter 1772 Catching Up
Peng Ze sent a letter to Kuncheng by a carrier pigeon. Similarly, he also wrote a letter to King Liusha.
Helian Yi sent a carrier eagle to send the letter back to Gao Zi.
Prince Shalin naturally sent a carrier eagle to send the letter back to Shalin.
…
Three days later, Lu Zheng and Gu Xin finally walked out of the secret passage. It would have taken only two days, but King Yunhai and Ajier destroyed the exit after escaping the secret passage. Gu Xin and Lu Zheng directly dug an exit.
After coming out, it was noon and the sun was in the sky.
The exit was in a big mountain. Fortunately, it was in the mountain, with water and wild fruits. Moreover, the temperature here seemed to be higher than that in Yunhai King City. It seemed that spring had already arrived. The wild fruits were sour, but they were still edible.
Peng Silang took people hunting, so that everyone could fill their stomachs.
Most of the people present were from the Great Zhou. As they ate the prey, they couldn't help but sigh: "They are so far away from our Great Zhou, but these things taste the same!"
Gu Xin smiled and asked: "Do you think the prey in the west is unpalatable or delicious?"
The soldiers laughed and laughed.
Lu Zheng said: "Everyone, let's rest here for an hour. After an hour, we will set off again."
Seeing that everyone was full and thirsty, Lu Zheng got up and looked around.
Gu Xin woke up and found that Lu Zheng was still energetic, so she pulled him to take a nap.
Lu Zheng shook his head: "No, I found the direction they escaped."
Gu Xin didn't doubt it, but was curious: "How did you find it?"
Lu Zheng pointed to the side: "The people of Yunhai have a habit of not urinating and defecating on the road they are going to walk. I just looked around and only one road was clean. Moreover, I tried to walk for a while and found some traces, but there were no traces on the other roads. I was afraid of fraud, so I walked further and finally determined that they should think that we would not chase us through here, so they did not deliberately paralyze us, but just followed their habits."
It was almost dark at this moment, but no one knew when King Yunhai and Ajil escaped, and whether they could still catch up, so there was no delay at all, and they chased in the direction Lu Zheng said.
When grilling meat at noon, it was Gu Xin who handled it. She insisted that she skinned it and did not let anyone help. In fact, she wanted to apply some jade bead water to each prey, so that everyone could be more energetic after eating it.
She used up all the jade beads she had saved in the past few days. She hadn't used them today, so she pressed them out and put them in the small jade bottle she carried with her.
It was almost midnight, and Gu Xin thought there would be no special moments today, so she took a jade bead and put it in Lu Zheng's water bag.
As for the water bags of other people, she didn't have many, only ten a day, not enough to share, so she didn't use them.
She ate one herself.
After midnight, Peng Silang, who was walking in the front, suddenly asked everyone to extinguish the torches, and then ran back from the front: "Brother Yuan, Xinxin, someone is camping in front."
Lu Zheng and Gu Xin followed forward to see, and sure enough, there were several bonfires not far away, and there were people around the fire, but it was not clear how many tents there were, so it was impossible to determine how many people there were.
"Brother Yuan, let's sneak over and take a look?" Gu Xin suggested.
"Okay, let Silang and Mo Fei guard this side. We will go over and take a look and come back, and we must not act rashly!" Lu Zheng nodded.
