Chapter 854 Ambush Location

The officer looked particularly ugly. If these lost horses could not be found, he might be killed.

He gritted his teeth and said: "Divide one hundred people into one and go out to check for traces and see which direction the thief went.

"The rest of the gang collected all the horses from every household in the town. After finding their whereabouts, they immediately went after them."

The officers and soldiers dispersed to take action.

At this time, they changed from their usual lazy and procrastinating style and acted very proactively and quickly.

Gu Fei and the others ran non-stop for two hours, and the horses couldn't bear it anymore.

At this time, it was daylight and they had to stop and rest.

Everyone brought dry food and water bags, and the horses were left to graze beside them.

After resting for about two quarters of an hour, everyone continued to set off.

At this time, the horse can no longer run, or it will become useless if it runs again, so it can only walk slowly.

During the day, the sun made it easy to identify the direction. Gu Fei asked Cha Gan to go ahead to grasp the direction, and then asked Qin'er to stop the two of them and slowly fall behind.

She whispered to Qin'er, "I'm going to see if there are any pursuers behind me. If they pass by the town, ask them to change their clothes, buy horse gear and continue walking."

"If I don't come back until dark, you should find an inn to rest first."

"Remember to be alone so I can come back to you."

Qin'er nodded, "Okay, Master, be careful."

Gu Fei turned the horse's head and walked away. Baiyin soon noticed that Gu Fei was leaving alone. He glanced back, full of doubts in his heart, and rode his horse closer to Qin'er, "Your master won't come with us?"

Qin'er said calmly: "Master, go check to see if there are any pursuers. Don't worry, she will catch up with us."

Speaking of the pursuers, Baiyin became nervous and kept looking back.

Qin'er frowned, "You don't have to worry about any of this. The master will take care of it. We just need to be on our way."

Baiyin sneered and rode forward.

Gu Fei walked back and forth slowly.

After walking for almost an hour, I saw a big tree on the side of the road.

If there were pursuers, Gu Fei thought this would be a good ambush location. She put her horse into the space, stood on the tree trunk, took out her binoculars and looked into the distance.

No pursuers were seen yet.

Gu Fei was not in a hurry and simply lay down on the tree trunk to rest. He was still very tired after not sleeping all night.

Almost half an hour later, Gu Fei, who was lying on a thick tree trunk and taking a nap, finally heard the sound of horse hooves.

She took out her binoculars and looked through the gaps in the leaves, and saw a group of officers and soldiers on horseback coming this way.

It can be said that these officers and soldiers suffered enough this night.

They were sent to this remote place. Although they didn't have much fun, their life was easy. They had nothing to do all day long. They were either eating wine or gambling. They had never been so tired.

Who knew something big would happen suddenly.

Last night, more than 40 horses were searched in every house in the town. The spies sent out to inquire in all directions found no trace.

It wasn't until a group of officers and soldiers searching to the southeast had gone two or three miles outside the town that someone discovered something on the ground.

It was something like a red sachet, and someone quickly recognized it, "Isn't this the amulet that Chen Er hung on his horse's bridle?"

At that time, Chen Er hung the amulet on the horse. Many people laughed at him and said that the horse did not need this. But Chen Er stubbornly hung the amulet on the horse, so many people knew this thing.

If you look carefully with a torch, you can still see fresh horse hoof prints on the ground.
