The First Young Master of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 437 Failed "Leading the Way"

"Master Hou." Long'er looked at Xuan Shijing, with a little anxious expression on her face. The people brought by herself and Master Hou are not the direct descendants of the Hou family, and the skills at hand are also ordinary, and they are not at the same level at all. Words, if you really meet a bandit in a while, my Lord Hou may not be able to get away.

Xuan Shijing raised her hand to stop Long'er's words, and said, "In that case, let us lead the way." Xuan Shijing smiled.

"Master Hou, let's go." Long'er said.

"Well, we have to wait a while, don't let them get lost." Xuan Shijing said.

The group of bandits behind must be "confirmed" that there is a group of Gao Jun with Qin Zhan in front of them, so they will chase after them regardless of other things. The target of the chase will definitely find clues that Gao Jun has changed his path.

Xuan Shijing tightened the reins and turned the horse back, and the arresters following Xuan Shijing saw this and also turned the direction.

Xuan Shijing wasn't worried at all, those bandits were in the Qinling Mountains, backed by Shangzhou, he didn't believe that those people wouldn't recognize the servants of the Shangzhou city government, but if they had known this earlier, Xuan Shijing wouldn't Let these yamen servants change into casual clothes.

Originally, I wanted to let these people change into casual clothes to bluff, but I didn't consider that Gao Jun changed the way and went to the official road in the middle. In this way, Xuan Shijing could only "replace" Gao Jun and continue to "lead" this group People started a speed contest in the direction of Shangzhou.

"Master Hou, I'm catching up from behind." Yan Yi rode a horse and Long'er guarded Xuan Shijing's left and right sides respectively.

"It seems that they didn't realize that Gao Jun and his people have transferred from the small road to the official road." Long'er said solemnly.

"Where are Shi Hu and Chang Le?" Xuan Shijing asked, if Shi Hu and Chang Le blocked the pursuers from behind, then the two would definitely meet themselves in front of this group of people, not now Yan Yi only heard the movement of a large number of bandits behind him.

"Master Hou, look behind!" Yan Yi pointed at Xuan Shijing's back and shouted.

Hearing the sound, Xuan Shijing turned his head and saw Chang Le and Shi Hu running towards this side on horseback.

Naturally, Shi Hu and Chang Le also saw the team in front, Xuan Shijing and Long'er in the team.

"Now that everyone is here, let's go." Without too many words, after Shi Hu and Chang Le joined the team, Xuan Shijing gave an order, and the team moved towards Shangzhou City.

Shi Hu and Chang Le were not very far away from a large group of bandits chasing after them, but when the lion and leopard led more than 50 people along the road and chased in the direction of Shangzhou City, they found that the further they went, There are fewer traces of people and horses walking on this road, so the lion also silently kept an eye on it.

Having been walking in the Qinling Mountains all year round, he is naturally very familiar with the situation on this road. Seeing that the situation on the road ahead was not right, the lion and his men slowed down their progress.

"Lion, why don't you keep going?" Leopard asked suspiciously when he saw the lion riding on the horse gradually stopped.

"Look at the road." The lion looked serious, looking at the surrounding environment unceasingly.

"What's the matter?" Leopard looked around like a lion.

"According to what you said, there are more than ten people on the other side, riding horses, and leading our family. It is impossible to leave no trace after walking this road. Look at the ground now." The lion faced the leopard. Said.

Hearing this, Leopard wanted to look on the ground.

The road surface is a very ordinary dirt road, and the ground is still scattered with withered and yellow grass and leaves, and the mess after being trampled by horseshoes can be vaguely seen.

"What did you see?" The leopard stared at the ground for a long time, but still found nothing unusual. If it was the horseshoe prints on the ground, it would be more indicative that the group of people had gone far from this road.

"We have been chasing for so long. Whether it is the one who escaped just now or the group of people who left before, there must be some movement. Look at the road, including the two sides of the road, there are obviously no traces of the large group of people passing by. Comparing these horseshoe prints on the ground with the horseshoe prints left by the two when they fled just now, this shows that the group of people who took the head of the family is no longer on this road." The lion said.

Hearing what the lion said, the leopard looked at the road again. Sure enough, most of the horseshoe prints scattered on the ground were not as deep as the marks left by the two people who escaped just now. It was left before, or when this group of people came.

The group of people with the head of the family disappeared, where would they go?
"I'll take people to the front to see the situation first." After Leopard finished speaking, he ordered two close brothers and rode forward.

The farther he walked, the more frightened the leopard became. This good pair of people and horses disappeared without saying anything.

After walking forward for a short time, he realized that there were only a few deep horseshoe prints, and the leopard quickly stopped and began to check the ground.

There were various horseshoe prints scattered on the ground, and it seemed that these people turned their horses' heads and left here.

What's the situation?
Seeing the scene in front of him, the leopard was also a little unsure. Could it be that the group of people also had reinforcements?Is there someone who can respond?Then when I came here, I met the two people who blocked me and others before, and after knowing the news that the team was safe and sound, I left?
It must be like this, the leopard sitting on the horse frowned and thought, but even so, the two parties did not meet, so where did the group of people who took the head away earlier go?
"Brother Leopard, shall we continue to move forward?" A person beside Leopard asked.

"No, look at the situation on this road. There are many people who turned around and left here just now, maybe more than a dozen people. Let's go back first." Saying this, Leopard also turned around and walked towards the large group.

There is no place on this road where more than a dozen people can hide, unless... Thinking of this, Leopard lashed his whip twice again, and the super large team rushed.

"Master Hou, there is no movement behind, it seems that they don't seem to be chasing us anymore." Yan Yi said while riding beside Xuan Shijing.

"Stop chasing us?" Xuan Shijing reined in his horse, "Could it be that they found something?"

When Xuan Shijing stopped, the people behind him also stopped naturally.

"What should we do now?" Long Er asked.

"Among those present, who is familiar with the environment around this road?" Xuan Shijing turned around and asked loudly to the 20 people behind him.
