Chapter 311
It was also on this day that a group of uninvited guests suddenly descended upon the mountains.
The dense iron armor left one footprint after another, breaking the tranquility of this pristine mountain range.
"Something's happening!" someone suddenly exclaimed.
A burly middle-aged man in military uniform stopped, with a few white hairs in his hair. He looked murderous and oppressive. He slowly squatted down. It was Zhao Tai.
He reached out and turned over the torn and incomplete skeleton, which had already started to stink, but he didn't even blink.
Whoosh!
He exerted force and pulled out an arrow from the skeleton. At the end of the arrow was engraved the word "Zhao"!
Suddenly, a sharp light flashed in his eyes.
"It's my arrow!"
"We've found the right direction, and Guan Ning must have been shot by an arrow. He recovered here and then encountered the beast."
"He can't get far!"
As he spoke, he gripped the bow tightly, his knuckles turning white.
"Governor, it looks like they've been walking for a long time. These three thousand mountains are so high, one after another, it's probably not going to be easy to find them."
"That's right, and we don't know where Guan Ning is going, and we don't have much dry food with us." Someone frowned and said.
Zhao Tai sneered: "Guan Ning is a smart man. He knows that wherever he goes, he will be the governor's men."
"Looking at the general direction he's looking, I'm certain he's heading towards Zizhou."
"Zizhou?" his personal guards exclaimed.
"Isn't that that guy's territory? He was just transferred there to be the Grand Marshal, with the power to lead the army."
Zhao Tai stood up, his eyes cold and stern. "That's right. Zizhou is the only place where this Governor cannot intervene. Guan Ning must have known this, so he fled there."
"That guy and this Governor have always been at odds. Although he was forced to leave the capital this time, his military power remains. If someone reaches his territory, whether he can be apprehended or not will depend on his mood."
"This is something that this Governor will never allow to happen!"
The guards looked serious and nodded one after another.
"Then, Governor, how should we pursue them next?"
Zhao Tai narrowed his eyes. "If we keep chasing like this, we'll just be led by that little bastard by the nose. So, this Governor General plans to go straight ahead and intercept him!"
"Capture him before he enters Zizhou!"
Hearing this, everyone was shocked and their eyes lit up.
"good idea!"
"Governor, he's injured and can't walk fast. We still have time!"
"The question is, where to intercept?"
Zhao Tai sneered: "Of course it is a place he must pass through!"
……
Three days later again.
This is the seventh day that Guan Ning has lost contact with the outside world. There is no news and no people. He has no idea what is going on outside, nor does he know where Shengqi has escaped to.
He had been walking for six days in the Three Thousand Mountains and still hadn't been able to get out. This made him wonder if he had gone in the wrong direction?
He made a simple compass, but the general direction was correct.
"what!"
"That's right, but why can't you get out?"
"I don't know how Shengqi is doing. Has he arrived in Zizhou?" He frowned, feeling a little worried.
Just as he was muttering, suddenly, a voice came from behind him.
"Guan, Brother Guan, I'm done washing."
Guan Ning turned around and shouted behind the stone, "Are you dressed?"
"I put it on, I put it on."
Guan Ning then walked over and saw Tang Xiang'er standing by the small pond, with her long, wet hair casually draped over her shoulders. She looked like a lotus emerging from the water, free of all worldly desires.
There are still water droplets on her innocent face. All the dirt and dust on her body these days has been washed away. She has suddenly transformed from Cinderella into an exquisite and pure girl.
Guan Ning was stunned at first sight: "Tsk tsk, you are so beautiful. If you walk out of the mountains, you will surely fascinate many young men."
Tang Xiang'er's cheeks flushed at the compliment, and she scolded him, "Brother Guan, you're teasing me again!"
"Hahaha!"
"What I said was the truth."
"Here, I'll go down and wash myself too. I'm too dirty."
"But Brother Guan, can you get water on the arrow wound on your back?"
"It's already forming a scar, and this water is flowing mountain spring water, there are no bacteria, so it's not a big deal. I just need to be careful." As he spoke, Guan Ning started to take off his clothes.
