Chapter 17 Chasing Troops

Humans are indeed creatures that need to pursue the goal to strive for. For Chen Mo, this [target] is the meaning of self-existence.

Sending Zhang Susu to Guangzong was the last order before Shuaibo of Yingchuan Yellow Turban Qu. The man who was infinitely loyal to Zhang Jiao, even though he had a lot of anger towards Zhang Bao, still put Zhang Susu's safety first because she was the daughter of General Zhang Liang.

Chen Mo sometimes guessed that Bo Cai was actually trying hard to support Zhang Susu. After all, his guards hated Zhang Bao deeply. If he died, perhaps the guards would kill Zhang Susu and then commit suicide for Bo Cai. In this era of loyalty to the emperor, this is not uncommon.

For the Yingchuan Yellow Turbans, the lord they worshipped was Bo Cai, not Zhang Jiao, nor Zhang Bao!

As long as I am still alive, no one can hurt you!

This sentence is really lightweight...

It is not easy to send Zhang Susu safely to Guangzong, thousands of miles away under the pursuit of Sun Jian’s more than 2,000 cavalrymen!

but……

Since you have said it, you must do it, which is called a promise.

"Click!"

Suddenly, a sound of a branch being trampled on was heard. Chen Mo woke up from his random thoughts.

Here comes...

Chen Mo subconsciously held his breath and pressed against the trunk of a tree. He was fully focused and the reverie of several fully armed soldiers entering the forest with weapons in their hands.

Five?

Ten?

No, there are more!

With the inaudible sound of footsteps, Chen Mo secretly guessed.

Beside him, although Zhang Susu's mood improved a lot with Chen Mo's comfort, the depressing atmosphere still made her feel a little uneasy and held Chen Mo's arm tightly and refused to let go.

At this time, a figure seemed to flash under the tree not far away. It was Zhou Cang. He squatted down to the ground with half of the tree and gestured to Chen Mo with his hand.

What does that mean?

Chen Mo was confused.

Zhou Cang seemed helpless, picked up a stone from the ground and threw it into the distance.

"Crack!"

The sound of stones hitting the trunk suddenly resounded in this quiet forest. Then, Chen Mo noticed that the footsteps suddenly turned and walked towards the place where the sound came.

Pull them away?

Chen Mo suddenly realized, patted Zhang Susu on the shoulder to calm her down, then squatted down and picked up a few stones and threw them towards the place where no one was ambushed.

"Crack!"

"Crack!"

The stones thrown out seemed to have successfully attracted the attention of the Sanhe Cavalry.

Just as Chen Mo was about to continue implementing this plan, he suddenly found a pair of feet in front of him. He subconsciously looked up and saw a Sanhe cavalry standing beside him at some point.

Fortunately, it was getting late at this time and the forest was dim. The Sanhe Cavalry did not seem to notice that Chen Mo and Zhang Susu were close at hand, holding the tree beside him with one hand and glanced forward with vigilance.

Chen Mo didn't dare to move, and subconsciously held his breath. Suddenly, he felt a slight vibration of the tree trunk he was pressing against. When he turned around, he found that Zhang Susu was trembling unconsciously.

The Sanhe cavalry seemed to have noticed the slight trembling from the tree he was holding. He lowered his head in confusion, but was shocked to find that there were two people hiding in the grass under the tree.

Oops, found out!

Chen Mo had no time to think about it, and suddenly rushed up and threw the Sanhe cavalry to the ground, grabbed the opponent's spear with one hand and grabbed the opponent's neck with the other.

Chen Mo, who had been protected by Zhou Cang and Pei Yuanshao on the Changshe battlefield, finally realized the fierceness of the Sanhe Cavalry. After a moment of loss of consciousness, the soldier actually used his head to hit Chen Mo's head. Chen Mo was dizzy and his eyes were filled with stars.

Before Chen Mo could come back to his senses, the soldier raised his knee and pushed hard on Chen Mo's abdomen. Then he turned over and instead put Chen Mo on the ground. At the same time, he pulled out the short sword from his waist and stabbed Chen Mo's head.

It's so far away?

Seeing the sharp short sword getting closer and closer to him, Chen Mo felt fear of death for the first time.

At this moment, Zhang Susu subconsciously woke Chen Mo up with a "ah" scream.

As if it was possessed by a god, Chen Molai didn't think much about slitting his head. The sharp short sword brushed his face and stabbed it into the ground. At that moment, Chen Mo felt a chill on his left face, and then a warm liquid flowed out.

"Xiao Mo!" Zhou Cang roared and rushed over, and rushed to Chen Mo's Sanhe Cavalry. After rolling on the ground for a few rounds, Zhou Cang tightly grabbed the other party's neck and knocked him hard with his head. Taking advantage of the moment of dullness, he knocked him to the ground with a punch, then pulled out the short sword at his waist, stabbed into the other party's neck, and then turned the short sword.

The Sanhe cavalry screamed, his body trembled, and then he died.

"There is there! There!" The scream caught the attention of the other Three Rivers cavalry in the forest without any accident.

"Go away!" Zhou Cang roared, picked up his short sword and the other party's spear, and protected Chen Mo and Zhang Susu and ran deep into the forest.

Along the way, Chen Mo could hear screams from time to time. I don’t know whether it was the Sanhe Cavalry, or the Pei Yuanshao and others hiding in the forest, but as for the Yellow Turban Fighting soldiers who had no fighting spirit, they were obviously unable to resist the fierce Sanhe Cavalry.

Although the Sanhe Cavalry are cavalry, they are worthy of being experienced veterans. Even if they get off the horse and are in such a dark forest, they can still exert their combat power as elites.

Only two or twenty Sanhe Cavalry Team had killed more than a hundred Yellow Turban soldiers without fighting spirit. Of course, those Yellow Turban soldiers had no fighting spirit at all, and were just running for their lives.

"Stay rest first." Zhou Cang stopped, sat on the ground and gasped against the tree trunk. Then he looked at Zhang Susu with an unhappy look.

His original intention was not to have any contact with the Sanhe cavalry, so he took advantage of the opponent's pursuit of the Yellow Turban defeated soldiers and asked Chen Mo and others to hide in the forest, hoping not to be discovered by the Sanhe cavalry. Unexpectedly, because Zhang Susu's mistake failed, Zhou Cang could only kill the Sanhe cavalry.

You should know that in this era, the feelings between Tongze are no less than brotherly feelings, especially the soldiers at the bottom of the army. The reason why Zhou Cang saved Chen Mo was because of this feeling, not to mention the regular army of the Sanhe Cavalry.

In this situation, the Sanhe cavalry would have to search Lin Zi in a large manner and only leave after avenging Tongze.

"I'm sorry..." Zhang Susu bit her lip and apologized softly.

Zhou Cang opened his mouth, hindering the other party's identity, and it was hard to say it, but just sighed slightly.

After comforting Zhang Susu, Chen Mo said to Zhou Cang with some embarrassment, "Brother Zhou, what should I do now?"

Zhou Cang was about to speak when suddenly a shiny light flashed in his eyes, he turned around suddenly, and at the same time he held the spear in his hand tightly.

Chen Mo subconsciously looked at it, but saw Pei Yuanshao crawling out of the forest with a head. When he saw Zhou Cang, Chen Mo was stunned for a moment when he was waiting for someone. Obviously, he didn't expect to meet them here.

Behind him, Han Ran, a soldier from the same army, and Tao Zhi, the sergeant who was familiar with Chen Mo and others.

Chen Mo was about to speak, but Zhou Cang seemed to have noticed something, stood up and frowned and asked, "Where is that boy Wang Zhuo?"

Wang Zhuo refers to Zhou Cangwu's other soldier besides Chen Mo and Han Ran. He is also a soldier who is about the same age as Chen Mo, but is even more taciturn than him.

Suddenly, the atmosphere seemed to have stopped. Pei Yuanshao squatted down silently and placed the enemy's head heavily on the ground.

Not to mention Chen Mo, even Zhang Susu understood.

While they were talking, Chief Tao Zhi silently tied the long knife to his hands with a cloth strip, biting a knot with his teeth, and then whispered, "Let's go, chase me soon!"

Zhou Cang sighed, stood up with a spear, suddenly remembered something, and said to Tao Zhi, "You are the only one?"

"Let's go!" Tao Zhi paused, but did not turn around.

Zhou Cang was stunned for a moment, turned to Pei Yuanshao and whispered to Pei Yuanshao, "Isn't the one who is with you Fan Wushao?" But the reply he received was just Pei Yuanshao's bitter smile.

In just one stick of incense, only six of the more than a hundred yellow turbans in the forest were left here?

Chen Mo was shocked.

As he walked towards the depths of the forest, Zhou Cang, Pei Yuanshao and the sergeant Tao Zhi were walking in front, Chen Mo, Zhang Susu and the soldiers Han Ran were walking in behind.

As he walked, Chen Mo suddenly saw Han Ran trembling as if he was pulling something, so he leaned over and asked curiously, "What is that?"

Han Ran turned his head, and he was laughing at the past, but his face was full of fear of death. He said tremblingly, "I picked up the pill." As he said that, he spread his left hand and saw a crystal dark green pill placed in his palm.

"What is this?" Chen Mo asked again with confusion.

"It was picked up by the body of the Yellow Turban Strongman... It is said that it can become very strong after taking medicine!" As he said that, Han Ran told Chen Mo tremblingly what he saw.

It turned out that when he escaped from the camp, Han Ran saw a Yellow Turban Strongman who took the pill and became very powerful, killing dozens of enemy soldiers. However, some Yellow Turban Strongmans were killed without taking the medicine. Han Ran flipped through some dead bodies before finding the pills.

Chen Mo suddenly remembered that he had seen something similar.

Looking at Zhang Susu beside him, Chen Mo hesitated for a moment and asked, "Is there any?"

Han Ran was stunned for a moment, took out a small white cloth bag from his arms and handed it to Chen Mo. Chen Mo took it apart and counted it roughly, almost five or six pills.

Just as Chen Mo was about to give it a try, Zhang Susu beside him grabbed the hand holding the pills, shook her head and said seriously, "Don't eat it, you will die!"

Chen Mo was stunned for a moment, looked at Zhang Susu in confusion, but heard her whisper, "I recognize that this is the pill refined by the second uncle. The Yellow Turban Powers feed on these pills, but this pill is extremely powerful and ordinary people cannot bear it at all. After taking it, it is like poison. Life is worse than death. At first, you need to drink it with diluted talisman water. After taking it five or six times in a row, you can take this pill alone..." As she said, she seemed to think of something and whispered, "Give me a pill..."

Chen Mo was stunned and said in surprise, "Isn't it a poison?"

"Yes," Zhang Susu smiled bitterly and said with her head down, "I don't have the courage to use something else..."

Looking at her better face, Chen Mo immediately understood, hesitated for a moment, and whispered, "If it is really an irreversible time, I will kill you! Before that, no one can hurt you!"

Zhang Susu raised her head and looked at Chen Mo in shock for a long time, and suddenly nodded with a heavy emphasis.

"Um!"
