Chapter 1117

Often there was no road at all.

Fortunately, it was all overgrown with weeds, not dense jungle.

They could only send a team of people with knives and axes to open the way in front.

The speed of advance was not fast.

Ren Xiao and the others were once worried about whether General Meng Tian Tian and the others would suddenly pursue them.

But they were overthinking it.

They walked for two consecutive days.

They walked and stopped.

There were still no other figures behind them.

This also made them relax somewhat.

As long as no one pursued them, their time was sufficient.

"If General Meng Tian Tian and the others gather and start pursuing."

"Then what should we do?"

"Obstacles appear in front of us from time to time."

"But the front of them has been leveled by us."

"Our speed is definitely not as fast as theirs."

"Is there a way to solve this matter?"

Ren Xiao looked at Fan Zeng on the side, his face somewhat ugly.

The road here was not easy to walk; thorns, gravel, and bushes were everywhere.

Traveling like this, they would likely be caught up by the people behind soon.

Because they sometimes had to 'open the way'.

Fan Zeng shook his head and said: "We dare not walk other roads."

"Once we walk randomly, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Perhaps we have become an opening tool for others."

Fan Zeng smiled bitterly; he had just thought of it.

After traveling for these few days, he inferred an unacceptable fact.

The pursuers had not appeared, perhaps because they were opening the way in front.

With so many traces, they were not afraid of losing them.

Therefore, the pursuers were behind them, perhaps following slowly.

If the positions of the two sides were swapped, Fan Zeng would also follow without hesitation.

After all, someone had opened the way, just follow along; what was there to worry about.

Ren Xiao suddenly asked: "Then how about we change direction?"

"In this way, they behind will be anxious, right?"

Fan Zeng was stunned upon hearing this.

It took a long while before he said: "Are you not afraid that after changing direction, you won't be able to walk out?"

"What if there are mountains or rivers elsewhere, what should we do?"

"If we walk the wrong way, when the food and supplies are gone, we will be finished."

"Commandant, do you really want to do this?"

Ren Xiao did not speak.

He just said it like that.

He had not thought about walking randomly either.

After all, the cost of trial and error was too high.

The lives of more than a hundred thousand people could not be messed with like this.

Seeing Ren Xiao not speaking, Fan Zeng also knew he was just complaining.

Therefore, he did not say anything more.

Thus, they started the journey.

The time for this journey could not be said to be fast.

Boring and time-consuming.

Unknowingly.

Several days passed.

On the other side of the mountain.

General Meng Tian Tian's border defense army gathering place.

As early as a day ago, soldiers arrived one after another to join.

Until today.

The soldiers of Nanyue were almost gathered.

This wilderness was full of people.

Densely packed people, all soldiers wearing armor.

The news they received was that they were preparing for an expedition.

But most of them were confused.

They did not know where to go on an expedition.

But soon they received another piece of news.

This time they were going to pursue the rebel army.

It was the more than one hundred thousand soldiers led by Commandant Ren Xiao.

They all walked in one direction.

This time they pursued to their location.

It was to follow them together.

The soldiers gathered here; the long ones had been here for three days, and the short ones had just arrived.

Their direct superiors now had changed.

No longer Commandant Ren Xiao.

The news of Ren Xiao's defection spread.

At first, all the soldiers could not believe it.

But as more and more people talked about it.

Everyone said Ren Xiao had rebelled, and slowly they believed it.

Unexpectedly, the people who went to pursue this time were their former top superiors.

This feeling was strange, indescribably strange.

Many people could not guess why Ren Xiao wanted to rebel.

Now he had fallen to the point of being pursued.

This was truly a huge irony.

This also made them understand one thing.

Fart catching fugitives.

Whether it was Ren Xiao or the Imperial Army saying catching fugitives was a cover.

The facts were not like this at all.

Ren Xiao wanted to rebel, fabricating the catching of fugitives.

And the Imperial Army came to suppress the rebellion.

They also deliberately said they came to catch fugitives.

Just to not cause chaos in Nanyue.

At this moment, they were all glad that they were not involved.

Otherwise, among the targets caught by the Imperial Army, they would be included.

At this moment—

Many soldiers had some resentment towards Ren Xiao.
