Chapter 1134: Becoming a tool person, how to break the situation?

"County Commandant, do you feel it?"

While resting.

Fan Zeng leaned over, looking like he wanted to talk to Ren Xiao about something.

Hu Hai also curiously leaned over.

"Feel what?"

These words had no head or tail; Ren Xiao was a bit confused.

"The pursuers behind!"

"They don't want to launch a decisive kill against us."

Fan Zeng revealed a confident smile.

This was the conclusion he reached through observation over the past few days.

"Oh, you mean this."

Ren Xiao reacted, nodded, and said: "I felt this too."

"They have been following us these past few days, but they have no intention of coming forward."

"If they speed up, I estimate they could catch up to us."

"I don't know what they are thinking."

"Are they playing with us?"

"Or are they waiting for us to be exhausted before surrounding us?"

Ren Xiao couldn't figure out what the Empire's army wanted to do for the time being.

"County Commandant, this old man has some speculations; do you want to hear them?"

Fan Zeng revealed a trace of bitterness.

This guess is truly both lovable and hateful.

Lovable, because they are safe.

Hateful, because they have been used as tools.

But he had to say it, otherwise, the military morale would be unstable, and something would happen sooner or later.

Now, the emotions of many soldiers are somewhat unstable.

Because they are afraid that the pursuers behind will strike at any time.

They live in torment every day, unable to extricate themselves.

If this torment cannot be ended early, something will happen sooner or later.

"It's already burning our eyebrows now; if you have any speculations, say them quickly."

Ren Xiao and Hu Hai were eager to know what Fan Zeng's speculations were.

Fan Zeng saw that the two were so eager, and finally spoke.

"We are safe now; we don't need to worry about the problem of safety."

"Because the people behind are just using us as vanguard path-clearers."

"These days, we rest, and they follow and rest; they never walk a moment more."

"Their behavior is very strange; don't you think it's strange?"

"At first, I couldn't understand why."

"But as long as you think about it, they just want us to clear the way."

"Then everything makes sense; think about it?"

This was Fan Zeng's speculation.

Otherwise, this matter couldn't be explained.

Ren Xiao also fell silent upon hearing this.

For these days, the Empire's army indeed hadn't caught up.

This strange behavior, at first, they couldn't figure out.

But if it was as Fan Zeng said, they just wanted them to clear the way.

Then everything could be explained.

Letting more than a hundred thousand people clear the way for them in front.

They actually thought of that!

Thinking of this, Ren Xiao's face was incredibly ugly.

But what could he do?

Even if he felt uncomfortable, he could only hold it in.

"Too bullying!"

"Unknowingly, we've become someone else's path-clearing tool."

"I'm angry! I'm so angry!"

"I said that map appeared very suspiciously."

"So there was such a thing hidden in it."

Ren Xiao's face was livid, gritting his teeth as he squeezed out these words.

Hu Hai was secretly delighted watching from the side.

"It would be best if you were angered to death."

Hu Hai muttered to himself.

If Ren Xiao could be angered to death, that would be interesting.

Then maybe he would be the one in charge here.

But Hu Hai could only think about it in his heart.

If he dared to say it out loud, Ren Xiao would probably slap him to death.
