464 They’re here
It was not wise to go down the mountain now.
Those men of sacrifice might have an ambush at the foot of the mountain.
Very quickly, the men of sacrifice stopped at the place where they had separated.
The bird was a little hesitant.
It sniffed in the direction of going down the mountain, and then sniffed in the direction of going up the mountain.
In the end, they chose the direction down the mountain, where the smell of blood was stronger.
The rest of the men of sacrifice followed the bird down the mountain.
However, the leader of the men of sacrifice stopped in his tracks.
“They must have been divided into two groups. One of them may be wearing Prince Yi’s clothes.”
This bird could distinguish blood from that same person, so that was the only possible situation.
He thought for a moment. “Continue the chase down the mountain and meet up with the people down there.
“The few of you, follow me up the mountain and take a look.”
The underlings immediately carried out his orders.
However, two-thirds of the people had gone down the mountain, as the leader of the men of sacrifice suspected that was where the real Prince Yi had gone.
After all, Prince Yi was badly injured. Ordinary medicine would be useless. He had to be sent to the hospital as soon as possible.
However, to be on the safe side, he still personally led four people to chase him.
The men of sacrifice were very fast, and it didn’t take long for them to catch up with the two people who were going down the mountain.
Seeing this, the two secret guards exchanged a look and immediately drew their swords to fight with them.
On the other hand, the leader of the men of sacrifice had caught up with Mother Xiao and the others.
The secret guard carrying Prince Yi sighed. “These people are the elites of the men of sacrifice. They’re really powerful. They caught up with us so quickly.
“Madam, you and the young lady should leave with Prince Yi first. We will stay and stop them.”
This was the only way now.
Mother Xiao took a deep breath and nodded. “Okay!”
In the past, when she was at the old Xiao’ family’s house, not only did she have to do housework, but she also had to go to the fields, so she was quite strong.
So she carried Prince Yi on her back and got Xiao Baili to run in the direction pointed out by the secret guard.
The hidden guard pulled out his knife and said to Mother Xiao, “Madam, if we can’t stop these men of sacrifice, then you should give up Prince Yi and run by yourselves.”
Mother Xiao bit her lip. “We will try our best to survive. You too. Don’t risk your lives.”
Hearing her words, the secret guard’s heart warmed. “Okay, we will try our best to delay as much as possible while getting out alive.”
Seeing that those people were about to catch up, Mother Xiao carried Prince Yi on her back and ran away with Xiao Baili.
One of the three secret guards took out a small bamboo tube and pulled a thread.
Then, a few red fireworks suddenly flew into the sky and exploded.
This place was on the outskirts of the county.
The fireworks signal in the mountains would be seen by the secret guards in the county and they would report to their master.
They could only hope that their master would bring more people to rescue them as soon as possible.
Then, they immediately faced the men of sacrifice.
