Chapter 297 The Road to Escape
"Well, four people?" Yang Chen said with some embarrassment, "Then force the two senior brothers to ride a horse."

"No, we want to ride horses with our junior sister." Unexpectedly, the two senior brothers said in unison.

Ye Qingling's face turned dark.

She held her forehead and said speechlessly: "What time is this, you are still arguing over this! When we escape safely, we can talk about anything!"

"Junior Sister, this is what you said." Brother Zhao's eyes lit up all of a sudden, "Hey, hey, hey."

Senior Brother Deng immediately tapped him on the head, and said contemptuously: "Shameless, Junior Sister didn't promise you."

"You are jealous of me."

"To shut up!"

Ye Qingling took a deep breath, resisted the urge to get angry, and said in a low voice: "Stop arguing, let's go quickly, you two have been arguing from morning to night every day, for so many years, it hasn't been enough ?"

Yang Chen also shook his head helplessly.

He and Ye Qingling each rode a horse, while Senior Brother Zhao and Senior Brother Deng rode another horse together, and the four of them headed towards the main road together.

Seeing that she was far away from the inn, Ye Qingling felt a little relieved.

She asked, "Senior Brother Zhao, Senior Brother Deng, do you know where Master is?"

"Master went out to play." Senior Brother Zhao said first, "A few days ago, Master received a letter from you and Yangchen, Junior Sister. Knowing about Senior Sister, the old man felt depressed and went out to relax."

"Before leaving, tell us to collect all the valuable things in the valley, and then let us leave quickly."

"Ah?" Ye Qingling said in surprise, "Since Master has told you to leave soon, why are you still arrested?"

Senior Brother Zhao smiled awkwardly, but stopped talking.

Brother Deng snorted coldly, and said: "I have hidden the most valuable things in the valley long ago. I was supposed to leave last night. This guy had to move away his stoves for refining medicine, but he was killed by someone. Got it."

"What!" Brother Zhao said dissatisfiedly, "Didn't you give me that stove? You said it was worth tens of thousands of gold, and I invited a master to build it for me to cherish. Aren't I afraid of being snatched away?"

"Stupid! One stove is gone, I can give it to you next time, and if there are no people, there will be nothing."

Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Ye Qingling only felt a headache.

Yang Chen had long been familiar with it.

"Junior Sister, don't worry, seeing how angry they are, they should not be injured."

Ye Qingling smiled wryly: "Brother, how can you be so calm, every time you encounter any situation, you seem to be able to keep calm, I really want to be like you."

Yang Chen looked at her with a smile on his face, but sighed in his heart.

At this moment, an arrow suddenly flew past his cheek and plunged into the soil on the ground.

"Go!" Yang Chen sternly said, "They're chasing them!"

Ye Qingling looked back, and saw that there were more than a dozen horses chasing behind them in the distance. There were heavily armed hidden guards sitting on the horses, and several people were shooting towards them with bows and arrows.

"How did they find us so quickly!" Ye Qingling said in surprise, "Brother, didn't you drug those horses?"

"I did take the medicine." Yang Chen's face was very ugly.

While speaking, several more arrows shot from behind.

Several people immediately stopped talking and rode their horses into a gallop.

Ye Qingling was anxious.

Since Yang Chen said that he had been drugged, the horses in the inn must have been anesthetized. Where did the horses of the people behind them come from?
They obviously went to rest after eating and drinking, how could they be so energetic, and immediately chased after them.

There is only one answer to everything.

"We've been tricked!" Ye Qingling said quickly, "No wonder, these hidden guards walked so slowly after they robbed their belongings, as if they were just playing around, the purpose is to let us find where they are staying .”

Not only that, but the orders these people received were probably not to bring back the disciples of Miracle Doctor Valley, but rather—shoot to kill!

If they wanted to live, this group of hidden guards would definitely just chase after them instead of shooting arrows!

"Be careful!" Ye Qingling became anxious immediately, "They want to kill us."

As soon as she finished speaking, she heard Senior Brother Deng groaning.

Brother Zhao shouted anxiously: "What's wrong with you? What are you humming? Are you injured!"

"Ride your horse, don't talk nonsense." Brother Deng's voice was unrecognizable, "Hurry up, there is a small bridge ahead, let's go over it first and then cut off the rope on one side, so they won't be able to cross."

"Ah? But..."

Brother Zhao's words were shaken into the air by the jolting horse before he could utter them.

Ye Qingling frowned, and filled up what he hadn't said in her heart.

"But who will dismount to cut the rope?"

No matter who it is, they will definitely be attacked by the enemy's concentrated firepower.

The three horses galloped forward.

Because one of the horses was carrying the weight of two people, it fell behind.

Soon, the small bridge arrived.

Brother Deng is right, the river below is very wide, but not deep, but it is full of rocks of different sizes, if you lead the horses carefully during the day, you can pass them, but now at night, the horses can easily pass when they enter the water. It's easy to fall over.

The only way to cross the river is the small bridge above.

The bridge is so narrow that at most one horse can pass over it.

Ye Qingling's horse's buttocks were whipped hard by Yang Chen. The horse suffered from the pain, so it sped up and ran over like flying, and Yang Chen followed closely behind.

The group of people all passed the small bridge smoothly.

At this moment, Senior Brother Deng suddenly turned over, jumped off the horse, and rushed to the bridge.

"What are you doing!" Brother Zhao yelled, "It's dangerous, they won't be able to get through for a while, come up quickly!"

"As soon as they come over, you will all die." When Senior Brother Deng spoke, a line of blood flowed down his lips. Then, he coughed twice and spit out a big mouthful of blood, "My lungs were shot by arrows. Piercing, it is hopeless, you guys go away!"

He took a deep look at Senior Brother Zhao, and in his hand he took out the dagger that was taken from the hidden guard when he was escaping just now, and rubbed hard on the rope that fixed the side of the bridge.

With his back facing several people, Ye Qingling realized that Senior Brother Deng had already planted several arrows in his back.

One of them even penetrated more than half of his body, the location is the lungs...

"No, no, no! Come back soon!" Brother Zhao cried loudly, "Isn't it just a lung injury? I can cure it, and the elixir I made can cure you."

Senior Brother Deng said without turning his head: "Junior Sister, Junior Brother Yangchen, you take him away! There is me here, if they want to go there, they have to step over my corpse!"
