Chapter 2 Escape

Xu Yan reached out and touched the hemp rope. This was made by him after spending a year. The raw material was kimonosa, and the back mountain was everywhere.

Leaving here, rely on them!

Xu Yan wrapped the hemp rope and put it into the bamboo basket beside him. He then searched through the boxes and cabinets to find clothes, silver, and medical books left by the master, and put them all in a bag.

The next morning, he changed the medicine to the injured who came to the Yaohu as usual. When they left, it was already noon.

He asked Wang Qin to kill the old hen sent by Liu Heiqi a few days ago. Xu Yan cooked himself and stewed a pot of delicious chicken soup. Then he stir-fried two more dishes, which were very hearty.

"Eat!"

Xu Yan served them a bowl of soup and watched them drink it with his own eyes. Not long after, Zhao He lay down, Wang Qin shook his head, and his mind became drowsy.

He noticed something was wrong and pointed at Xu Yan and said, "You..."

"Sleep, it's okay if you sleep!" Xu Yan said lightly.

Wang Qin finally failed to resist the medicine, his head sank and fell asleep.

Chuanwu, also known as the Five Toxicity, is spicy and hot in nature, can dispel wind and dampness, warm menstruation and relieve pain. Chuanwu has a great poison, combined with Pinellia ternata, Trichosanthes kirilowii, and Chuanbei. In mild cases, it can cause coma, and in severe cases, it endangeres life.

Xu Yan quietly added medicine powder to the chicken soup. He had no intention of killing people, but just wanted to let the two of them unconscious so that they could have enough time to escape.

Drag them into the house, and for the sake of safety, they tied their hands and feet with cloth strips and locked the door.

Xu Yan carried a bag and a bamboo basket on his back and walked quickly to the back mountain.

Along the way, he was very nervous, afraid of meeting someone, and he didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he successfully entered the back mountain.

Walking along a small road, after an hour, he had entered the deep mountains and climbed up a mountain with difficulty.

When he reached the top of the mountain, there was no road ahead, but a cliff.

There is only one way out, and it is guarded by Liu Heiqi's confidants, so Xu Yan can only find one way by himself.

In recent years, he went into the mountains to collect herbs and was observing the terrain. Here, there was a dense forest under the cliff, forming a thirty oblique angle with the exit of Qunying Mountain. As long as he walked south, he should be able to walk out of the mountains.

Although the plan is a bit risky, it is worth a try!

The height of the cliff has been measured in advance. It is a very simple free fall formula, h=1/2gtt, which is about 150 meters. In order to ensure safety, he weaves a rope of 200 meters long, which is enough.

Take out the hemp rope, tie one end to the huge rock, and throw the other end off the cliff, and the rope slides down quickly until it is straight.

He tied the bag to his chest, put on specially made deerskin gloves, clasped the hemp rope, and came to the edge of the cliff.

Looking down at the deep and terrifying cliff, Xu Yan, who was already afraid of heights, couldn't help but feel numb in his scalp, but at this point he had no way to retreat.

Gripping his teeth, clenched the rope, and slid slowly downwards while stepping on the uneven stone.

Time became very slow at this moment. The two hands alternated, their bodies moved down little by little, and their feet kept testing. They stepped on the loose rock several times and almost fell, which was very thrilling.

I don’t know how long he has been exhausted, but he is still a long way from the bottom of the cliff.

There was a faint cry from afar. Liu Heiqi probably found out that he had escaped and sent someone to search in the mountains.

Xu Yan was anxious and understood that they would find this place soon, so he accelerated the sliding speed and finally sat on the ground.

"Success!"

Before I could be happy, I looked up and saw someone leaning down on the top of the cliff, looking down, as small as an ant.

Knowing that he had been discovered, Xu Yan hurriedly took out the fire slip, shivered his hands, and lit the hemp rope.

A flame was seen running upwards rapidly, and the tung oil applied to the rope accelerated the burning speed. After a while, the entire rope was ignited.

This also made a bandit who was about to climb down and rushed up again like a fire.

He laughed and exhaled the depression of being imprisoned for the past six years.

Ignoring the bandits' shouts, Xu Yan stood up and walked towards the forest without looking back.

---

A continuous tarpaulin tent was formed, and the soldiers were gathering together with the loud sound of trumpets.

On the school ground, three thousand people lined up, one by one, and looked ahead. The invisible murderous aura proved that this was a powerful army of war.

They were the bravest soldiers, and since the day they formed the army, they followed their generals to fight the whole country.

They once pursued and suppressed the Qiang people in southern Xinjiang. They destroyed more than 30 villages in two years, causing the Qiang people to shrink from the dense forest and dare not show up.

They once fought with the Xianbei in Xining, crippled the iron-armored soldiers that the Xianbei were proud of, and forced the Xianbei king to cease war and seek peace.

And now, they came to Shuzhong to suppress the bandits.

Although many soldiers don’t understand why the court sent them all over the place to deal with a group of mobs. This is the same as killing a chicken with a ox knife. However, obeying orders is the duty of soldiers, and even the general has no objection, so they naturally won’t say much.

Just think of it as a vacation for yourself!

This is not arrogance, but a strong self-confidence. The previous bandit suppression also proved this. The legendary fierce bandits are vulnerable to them!

Now there are scouts coming to report that the remaining bandits gathered on the Heroes Mountain, which is a good time to catch them all in one go.

Although there are many bandits and many heroes, and it is easy to defend and difficult to attack, in the face of absolute power, everything is a cloud!

"Go to the expedition!"
