Chapter 143 He Won't Come

It was already two hours after Mu Zheping realized that Lin Si would not come to join them again.

They had encountered monsters twice during this journey, the first time it was just a third-level toothed wolf. After seeing them, they rushed towards them recklessly, and were stabbed to death by Ye Hong, who was rushing on the road.

But the second time it was a fourth-level three-eyed firefox, there was nothing special about it except for its strange movements, the three of them fought together, and in the end Mu Zheping pretended to be defeated and attracted the monster to get close, Just figured it out.

After the battle was over, the three realized that they had no idea how far they had run.

Fortunately, it was late at night, and many monsters would also return to their lairs to sleep, otherwise they would have encountered countless battles along the way.

The pursuers should have been completely thrown off, and the three decided to rest in place.Now they may be about to enter the area frequented by fifth-level monsters, so it's better to be cautious.

And it wasn't until this time that they realized that Lin Si would never appear again.

In the previous battles, they were surprised that Lin Si's combat power was almost the highest among the four, and whoever fell behind among the four should not be him.

While packing up the body of the Firefox, and roasting it on the fire, Ye Hong wondered, "Why hasn't he come yet?"

Without hesitation, Yue Luoning asked, "Did you fall behind?"

Mu Zheping stood aside and watched the way, he was very worried that Lin Si made the choice that he didn't dare to think about.After hearing Yue Luoning's words, he said coldly: "Do you think it's possible? His strength is impossible to keep up with."

Yue Luoning didn't mean to belittle Lin Si, but when he heard Mu Zheping's robbing, he became annoyed: "I admit that he is strong, but maybe he is not good at driving?"

Mu Zheping sneered: "Do you know where he lived before? It's the Qingyue Forest! This kind of place with dense branches, leaves and vines is difficult and dangerous for us, but for him, it's like walking on the flat ground in his own home." !"

"If he speeds up with all his strength, the three of us should be left far away by him now..."

Yue Luoning was dumbfounded, Mu Zheping and Lin Si knew each other well, so he shouldn't lie about this kind of thing.

"Then why hasn't he come yet!"

Ye Hong suddenly said in a low voice: "The three pursuers in the back have disappeared a long time ago..."

Yue Luoning exclaimed in disbelief: "You mean..."

"That's right! If I guessed right, he was the one who held back those three people! Those three people were chasing closer and closer in the beginning, but they lost it in the end for no reason..." Ye Hong lowered his head and said softly.

Thinking of this possibility, he felt very uncomfortable.

The fact that they can sit here safely now is based on Lin Si's voluntary sacrifice of himself!
There were mixed feelings in his heart, including hatred and unwillingness for his lack of strength, and gratitude and sorrow for that young man... At this moment, he completely eliminated his resentment towards Lin Si for kidnapping Yue Luoning.

Although they will come here, it is because of him.

"No! I don't believe it! That guy would be so good? A person like him! How could he be!" Yue Luoning exclaimed in disbelief, "How could he be so stupid as a person who only cares about himself and ignores others? You must have guessed wrong! There must be something inside that we don't know!"

Along the way, Lin Si took advantage of some innocent people in order to escape being tracked. In her opinion, this was an extremely selfish expression, and he didn't take his own life seriously at all, and almost killed himself twice.

Although I admire him because of his intelligence and strength, I also hate him.

Although they have been together for several days, she doesn't have much affection for Lin Si.She never gave up her plan to send someone to arrest him and torture him severely after she escaped completely.

But now she actually heard Ye Hong say that in order to let them escape, that guy took the initiative to stay and stop the enemy at the risk of losing his life.

She absolutely can't accept such a result, even if that guy did this, she can't forgive her!

She said heavily: "We are not relatives to him, and we are still enemies. Why did he save us regardless of his life! I don't believe it! He must have escaped by himself!"

"He did it for me." Mu Zheping, who had his back to her, said quietly, his voice was full of sadness and self-blame.

He lowered his head and closed his eyes in pain: "I know what you want me to do... But, that was something we both promised together..."

Suddenly, he stepped into the dense forest without looking back.

Yue Luoning shouted from behind: "What are you doing!"

Mu Zheping paused and said calmly, "Go find him!"

"If he is really what you said, then you are not what he wants to see when you go to him. He blocks the enemy just to make us run farther!"

"I know."

"Then are you still going?"

"Although some things are understood, they still have to be done!"

After saying that, he sprinted back towards the way he came from.

"Wait! I'll go with you!" Ye Hong suddenly dropped the barbecue in his hand, stood up and raised his spear and shouted.

"Are you going too?" Yue Luoning said incredulously, "Are you all stupid? We managed to escape!"

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, if I don't go back, I'm afraid my heart will never be safe..."

Yue Luoning said bitterly: "Go, go! You are all fools, and I am the villain!"

However, when Ye Hong got into the bushes, she also shouted like a ghost: "Wait for me!"

Two hours later, Mu Zheping and the three of them came to the place where Lin Si stopped fighting and severely injured the man in Tsing Yi.

Maybe it was too long, maybe the other pursuers chased to other places, maybe they retreated with the man in Tsing Yi.When Mu Zheping and his party came here, they couldn't find anything except the bloodstains all over the floor.

But that's enough...

It was late at night, and it was even more difficult to distinguish the foreground in the already extremely dark canyon dense forest.

Yue Luoning and Ye Hong couldn't know where Lin Si had gone, but they knew that Lin Si fought with each other here.

Other than that, they didn't find much else.

They failed to find that in the other direction, the little bits of bright red sprinkled from time to time along the way.

They just confirmed that Lin Si fought a battle with the tracker here.

As for what happened next, they have no way of knowing.

The three eventually returned to their original place.

The sky had gradually turned white, but the three of them who hadn't slept all night were not sleepy at all, and the hearts of the three of them seemed extremely heavy.

They all have a guess in their hearts that they don't want to say it out, that is, Lin Si may have encountered an accident.

Those three trackers can get closer and closer, which means that their strength is higher than that of themselves and others, at least they are also in the late stage of Yuan Realm.

Such an opponent, fighting alone, Lin Si may not be able to match, let alone one against three?

Ye Hong broke the silence with his voice.

"Anyway! Keep going!"

It took Mu Zheping a long time before he hummed lightly.

The three of them continued their journey to Tianhe Kingdom, although the young man who first decided to go to Tianhe was no longer with them.

……

There is a city to the west of the Qushan Grand Canyon where they are located, [-] miles away.

This is the northwest border of the Moon Kingdom.

The northwest of the Moon Kingdom borders on the grasslands, the Qian Song Dynasty, and the Southern Qi Dynasty.

There has been no war between Southern Qi and Yue Kingdom for decades, and Qian Song Kingdom has never had a war with Yue Kingdom since its founding, so this border is mainly to deal with Yue Kingdom's feud with Prairie Kingdom.

For hundreds of years, countless wars, large and small, have occurred between the Moon Kingdom and the Grassland Kingdom.

Seventy-eight out of ten of the people who took the initiative to provoke the war were the grassland countries.

The prairie country has lived for water and grass for generations, and the land is only suitable for grazing and not farming, so the Moon Kingdom is not very keen on invading the prairie country.

But the Prairie Country doesn't think so. They advocate the law of the jungle, and the prosperous cities of the surrounding countries are all targets that can be plundered.

It is not that the Moon Kingdom was not so powerful that it penetrated into the hinterland of the Prairie Kingdom. It is far from the time when King Zhenchuan was in power, and the Siyi were subdued. Nearly 200 years ago, Li Yuanhong's formation ruled the roost. Even if this generation of Moon King ascended the throne more than ten years ago When he was in power, he also sent troops into the grassland country for more than three thousand miles.

The steppe country invaded the surrounding countries, pursuing the purpose of burning, killing, looting and looting, and would not occupy the hinterland cities of the countries, because they could not occupy them.

They drive away and kill all the people along the way, they don't know how to farm and produce, and they don't plan to move the grassland people who have been grazing for generations into other countries. Therefore, every time they occupy a piece of land, they usually evacuate all that can be moved. thing.

And the Yue Kingdom counterattacked and invaded the Grassland Country, and it was also unable to occupy a large area of ​​the Grassland Country.Because there is no city to occupy, and the land cannot be cultivated, there is not much occupation value...

Most grassland people are used to moving to another grassland every few years, without a fixed place to live, let alone build a city.

There is only one royal city in the entire prairie country, but it is deep in the hinterland of the prairie country, and even with King Zhenchuan's ability to conquer and fight, he could not attack there.

In order to prevent the steppe country from invading, the Yue country stationed the most troops on the western defense line.The Northwest, which borders the Three Kingdoms of Grassland, Southern Qi, and Qiansong, is even more important.

Among the Three Kingdoms, Qian Song had a territory only one-tenth the size of the Yue Kingdom, and it was only two hundred years since its founding.

The area where the Qian Song State is located was originally the territory of the Southern Qi State more than 200 years ago.At that time, civil strife broke out in the Southern Qi Kingdom, and the people suffered from famine, and the royal family's control over the entire country fell into the lowest ebb.

At that time, a Duke surnamed Bai in the Southern Qi Kingdom lost power during the civil strife. His whole family would have been a victim of the power struggle. In order to escape, he went to the southwest of the Southern Qi Kingdom with another Chang Shi surnamed Ji who was also implicated in the civil strife.

After arriving at Dingchuan City in the southwestern part of the Southern Qi Kingdom, they persuaded a general surnamed Xie who was guarding the border at that time. The three revolted with [-] troops, and quickly occupied the entire Qiansong Prefecture in the southwest of the Southern Qi Kingdom.

Later, he established himself as a country, changed Qiansong Prefecture to Qiansong Kingdom, took Dingchuan City as the capital, and the Duke of Bai ascended the throne as king.Feng Ji surnamed Chang Shi as the prime minister, and Xie surnamed Cangwei as the general of Zhenguo, who implicitly ruled with Nanqi.

However, there were many civil strife in Southern Qi at that time, and there was no one in power who could convince the crowd, so the rebellion could not be suppressed in time.

And then when the civil strife subsided a little bit and the rulers of the Southern Qi Kingdom wanted to free up their hands to conquer, the Qiansong Kingdom had been established for more than a year and had stabilized.

What is especially unacceptable to the people of Southern Qi is that they found that the Qiansong Kingdom actually had the support of the Yue Kingdom.
