The Divine Doctor: The Daughter Of The Frist Wife
1007.
Feng Yu Heng shouted desperately. "All horses? Could it be that this city only had 20 quick horses?"
The old man shook his head. "Not at all, the group stayed in the city for approximately two hours and bought 50 quick horses. That is the limit of this city. You saw it too. Our city is too small. Its name was a city, but it was actually just a transit point between the capital and Xiao Zhou. To be able to collect 50 horses is good enough."
Xuan Tian Ming coldly snorted and pinched Feng Yu Heng's hand. By now, they had already understood that the 20 people would not be able to use 50 horses. However, they managed to stop their pursuit. Simply put, this is their true purpose.
Feng Yu Heng was most afraid of someone taking action against Zi Rui. Yao shi was already in his current state, and he hoped not to make any mistakes with Zi Rui. Otherwise, not only could he not face the original owner of the body, he could not face his own conscience.
But the thing he feared the most had to happen. It was obvious that Zi Rui was in danger, and even the ten hidden guards fled. Who exactly are the 20 people chasing after it?
Xuan Tian Ming knew that he was worried, so he made up his mind immediately, telling Bai Ze. "Take off the two horses pulling the carriage. Feed the horse. Feed all the horses and have everyone rest here. We'll leave after an hour." After saying this, he said to the old man. "I'll trouble you by preparing the hay. Also, have someone prepare the food. We'll only stay for an hour. The sooner the food is prepared, the better. The pay won't be low."
The owner of this inn had taken care of two strange groups in succession. If counted, they are the third wave. Curiosity was initially held back. After hearing Xuan Tian Ming's orders, he did not say a word and immediately brought the maid back to the inn.
Xuan Tian Ming also brought Feng Yu Heng back to the inn to sit down. The waiter poured water for them, and Feng Yu Heng took out some tea leaves from his place to make tea for everyone. He brought two packs of instant coffee to himself. While pursuing others, he had to make sure that he could remain fully aware. He could not let the horses and people get tired.
Xuan Tian Ming silently analyzed the previous events with him. "Right now it was unknown what kind of people were chasing Zi Rui, but it seemed like they might be from Qian Zhou or the northern province. In fact, the possibility that it is another group cannot be ruled out. Right now, there is nothing we can do but chase. I don't know how long these horses can last, but if you think about it, they'll be fine to last until the next small town."
But Feng Yu Heng was still worried. "What if the horse in the next town is also bought?"
Xuan Tian Ming said, “At least that means their group has yet to capture Zi Rui. We still have a chance." He patted her on the shoulder. "Everything ultimately solves their own problems."
Feng Yu Heng's heart sank, as he said blankly. "Could it be...it was the archery of the god Qian Zhou?"
"That's possible." Xuan Tian Ming said. "No matter how good the body of the hidden guard was, Qian Zhou had his tracking arrow. Once the arrow was fired, who could avoid it?"
Feng Yu Heng wanted to say that he could, but he did not need to boast at a time like this. He only regretted not teaching the hidden guards that method to dodge the tracking arrows. If Qian Zhou really did send a team of divine archery to chase after Zi Rui, this would be a difficult matter.
"Don't worry." Xuan Tian Ming's hands rested on his shoulders and gently began massaging him, "Even if they were caught, Zi Rui's life would not be in danger. They should have used the boy to negotiate with us. They will not try to do anything with their lives. It's just pity that friend of mine."
The so-called comrades he spoke of were the ten hidden guards guarding Zi Rui. Xuan Tian Ming had never considered those hidden guards as servants. To him, whether it was a hidden guard or a servant like Bai Ze, he had always regarded them as comrades. Their lives are as precious as their lives. He could never do something like use his comrade to block arrows. Of course, he could not do anything that would make his comrades die.
But even though they were in a hurry, there was nothing they could do. Animals are different from humans. If a horse is not given rest or food, it will not move. The innkeeper very quickly finished preparing the food. The old man said to Xuan Tian Ming. "There are some dishes that are prepared at dinner and are not sold. Everything is good to eat. There is no time to prepare another. Just eat a little. This old one has prepared a lot of dry food for my master to bring. If you're hungry all the way, just eat."
Xuan Tian Ming nodded and looked at Bai Ze at a glance, telling him to pay. Bai Ze took out two silver bars and stuffed them into the old man's hands. The old man did not refuse, accept and keep it.
An hour later, everyone woke up to leave again.
This chase lasted all night. As the sun rose, they could finally see the city ahead. The group hesitantly found the horse dealer and asked. However, they heard shocking news. "My lord, you're coming a little late. Just before dawn, a group of people came and bought all the horses on my farm. Not only did they buy my horse here, they also took all the nice horses from the big families around here."
