Crowned the New Han Dynasty

Chapter 841 It’s either a way out or a dead end!
It is very difficult to break through the encirclement in such a complicated situation. After all, the purpose of Daijun Wuding outside the forest is to surround Duan Jin and others inside. If they can escape with a slight detour, then It seems too childish.

However, nothing in this world is perfect. No matter how well-organized it is, if you meet someone who is thoughtful, observant and thoughtful, you can still find loopholes. However, there is a cost after all when searching for escape routes——

This cost is undoubtedly human life.

There were more than 30 soldiers who accompanied Nie Daoren and his group to escape, including those who joined in the middle, those who left halfway, and those who died on the way to escape.

After paying seven lives, the injured Nie Daoren and his party finally left the dense jungle and came to an official road to the east.

There were very few pedestrians on the road, because of the war that broke out in front. Although it was still far away from here, the news spread quickly as if it had wings, and the pedestrians on the road immediately retreated. , far away, and those with speculative thoughts, rushed towards Youzhou, the capital of Fanyang County, wanting to make a report.

Therefore, on this road that was already empty of people, there were a few more figures who looked like they had been baptized by war, and it did not cause a commotion.

"Finally out!"

Looking at the road ahead and feeling the sunlight shining on his face, Xia Chao threw away the long sword in his hand and sat on the ground panting violently.

Although he is a merchant, he actually comes from a branch of an aristocratic family. He has also practiced martial arts since he was a child, and he thinks he has some skills. As a result, during the escape just now, he faced several dangerous situations when faced with chaotic soldiers with sparse martial arts skills. In the final analysis, it was not He knew the killing techniques on the battlefield, had a lot of wounds on his body, and was already exhausted. At this moment, he felt safe, and he immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"We can't take it lightly now," Nie Daoren, who also had a look of exhaustion on his face, cheered up. "Although we have escaped from the encirclement here, Daijun is ambushing and must have a back-up plan. We cannot stay for a long time. We must penetrate the front as soon as possible. The dense forest..." He looked at the people around him and smiled bitterly: "I know you are exhausted, but this is a matter of life, so you still have to work harder."

His words are now quite majestic in the hearts of everyone.

You know, although there were a lot of damage along the way, if it weren't for Nie Daoren's accurate judgment and guidance several times, they would not have been able to escape. As for the several times they missed and got into trouble along the way, or simply touched the trap, there was nothing they could do. , even if Nie Daoren can judge the location of the trap from the swinging and falling of branches and leaves along the way, he cannot be omniscient and omnipotent after all.

Therefore, as soon as he spoke, even Xia Chao picked up the sword again and set foot on the road again with everyone, and soon disappeared into the jungle opposite the official road.

Not long after they left, a small group of Daijun Wuding gathered over, looked at the traces on the road and chatted for a few words, and then chased them in the direction they left, but the speed was very slow because they wanted to This group of people is not the only one pursuing them.

An hour later, Nie Daoren and others finally stopped to rest in a canyon. At this time, except for the three strongest soldiers, everyone else was already exhausted, especially the oldest merchant Cai Yu. He was panting and his legs were trembling. If he continued to walk forward, I believe that the old man would have to die from exhaustion even if he was not overtaken by the pursuers.

Fortunately, they finally rested.As soon as they stopped, the wounds and exhaustion on their bodies immediately burst out, like a river and sea, swallowing up their consciousness, and screams of pain and lamentation rang out.

In contrast, the pair of masters and disciples on the Dharma Slips were quite calm. One was sitting cross-legged and the other was kneeling. There was a faint smell of being out of the dust. However, one could still see a bit of sadness on Nie Daoren's face. Before He was so focused on escaping that he didn't care about other things. He was preoccupied with escaping. But now that he had a little free time, he thought of his companions, and he couldn't help but feel sad. His voice, appearance, and appearance were still in his mind, but the person was no longer there. ——

Of course, there were more than two masters and apprentices in their southbound convoy. However, after encountering Duan Jin's men, they were dragged along by him while the others were separated. In the chaos, Nie Daoren was able to take care of himself and the few around him. People are already doing their best, how can they allocate energy to help other people?

But in the end, it is still inevitable to feel sad.

"There is no need to blame yourself too much for things like this. When they leave, it is just reincarnation." The words of the Dharma slip suddenly came. The teacher saw the thoughts in the student's mind, "You have done a good job. Cross yourself, do what you can."

After all, Nie Daoren was also a Buddhist, and he quickly stabilized his emotions. He knew very well that now was not the time to relax, and he and others could not be said to be out of danger.

At this time, Dharma Jian also asked about the current situation and whether he and others were safe.

"Teacher, the current location we are in is already a place where Fanyang County has relatively strong control. Dai County's large group of troops will not come, but a small group of soldiers may not come, so after a short rest, we will continue Hit the road.”

The voice of the master and the disciples was not loud, except for the two of them, it was difficult for others to hear, so Dharma Jian lowered his voice a little after he nodded clearly, and asked: "I am listening to what you said before, do you want to listen to me?" I have defected to that Lord Chen. If the battle goes well this time, it is not impossible for him to take over Youzhou. With his talent, he is indeed worth relying on. After all, after the power declines, other forces in the North may also surrender. If so, even if he doesn't have much goodwill toward Buddhism, if he can make friends with him, it would still be a good idea."

Nie Daoren nodded slightly, acknowledging his thoughts. He knew very well that personally experiencing a war and the feeling of wandering between life and death finally changed the monk's thoughts.

But immediately afterwards, the Dharma Slip asked another question: "But since you have the intention to seek refuge, why bother to escape? Those soldiers are all military soldiers of Daijun. Wouldn't it be quick and easy to introduce them directly and save the sacrifice? Besides, you have been We showed Duan Jin a path, and he was willing to abandon his generals and flee, so why should we choose such a dangerous path?"

Nie Daoren listened and understood in his heart that although his teacher was wise and had made great achievements in Buddhism, he was specialized in his art and could not see through some things.

"Let the soldiers introduce me, then the superior will treat me like a soldier. I will not be taken seriously, so I can't do it. Besides, the one who leads the troops this time must be one of the brothers of the Yang family. I can see him, but he may not be valued in front of the prince." , as for the path shown to Duan Jin, it is either a way of survival or a dead end!"
