After hearing this, Zhao Ziliang narrowed his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he turned to look at the left and right sides and said, "No matter if they are coming for us or not, we'd better get away first.
Let's hide on the hillside in front of us." " After saying that, Zhao Ziliang took the lead and galloped forward, and the others immediately followed.
While Felice was beating the horse and galloping away, she shouted to Zhao Ziliang: "Hey, hey, hey, didn't you commit something?
Why are you afraid of those officers and soldiers?"
Zhao Ziliang turned around and said: "You are right, we committed something in Constantinople, and the officers and soldiers are now looking for us.
If you are afraid, after these officers and soldiers pass, I will give you the remaining commission.
You can leave" Phyllis was silent and didn't know what he was thinking.
He didn't speak anymore until everyone rode into the bushes on the hillside.
The distance of ten miles is not too far, but for the cavalry wearing armor, they must not run too fast.
If they run too fast, they must not be able to march for a long time.
The official was able to use heavy cavalry to pursue it, which is also due to the There are military stations all the way from Constantinople to the important border town of Sedica in the north.
At the stations, the pursuers could exchange horses or receive horses carrying armor and vests, otherwise they would never dare to use heavy cavalry to pursue them.
It took more than half an hour before the pursuers finally appeared.
Zhao Ziliang and others were hiding in the bushes on the hillside.
They saw shining golden lights appearing on the road to the east.
It was the sunlight reflected from the armor. formed.
When the pursuers came closer, everyone could see clearly, and it was confirmed that the number of the opponent's troops that the previous guard had judged through the art of earth hearing was correct.
Liang Zhenwu narrowed his eyes and said to Zhao Ziliang with a solemn expression: "Young Master, he is the 200 cavalry of the ninth royal guard of the Eastern Roman Empire and the 500 armored cavalry of the Praetorian Guard."
Zhao Ziliang touched his chin and said: "Constantine is so young, is his brain broken?
Two days ago, I killed 300 people of the Ninth Guards, and now I even sent the last 200 people to die, and why?
Five hundred armored cavalry were sent to accompany the burial.
Although these armored cavalry have good combat effectiveness and have natural restraint and lethality against non-pike infantry, Constantine wants to take me back with these people."
Liang Zhenwu said: "Sir, I think we have to take precautions.
You are injured now.
Using practitioners' methods will only aggravate the injury of your soul.
Therefore, you cannot use spells easily, and using spells will cause harm to those in the Eastern Roman Empire."
The excuse for the practitioners to besiege you is that it would be very difficult for the twenty or so of us to deal with them.
Moreover, I suspect that these soldiers are only on the surface.
They may have arranged for the practitioners to follow them secretly.
If those people secretly It’s hard for us to resist a sneak attack.”
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "What you said is not unreasonable, but if they secretly arrange for practitioners to come here, with me here, those practitioners should not attack you.
Neither you nor Zhang Huchen are considered true practitioners."
Or, and they have to be on guard against me, so you don’t have to worry about practitioners attacking you.
The five hundred armored cavalry are nothing to be afraid of.
The key is that the two hundred people of the Ninth Royal Guards, each of them has the strength of the innate realm.
You and Zhang Huchen can deal with more than ten or twenty people.
With Zhang Huchen's ability, even if it is difficult to deal with thirty or forty people, it can still be done.
Just cope, if there are more, you will not be able to support it.
There are two hundred of them.
If I don't take action, you will not be able to deal with these people."
Zhang Huchen was quite worried and said: "What should we do?
We are not afraid of life and death.
We are just worried that the young master will be attacked by those practitioners."
Zhao Ziliang waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, they may not be able to find us hiding here.

It's a pity that the old Taoist Qingsong was injured and went back with Dugujun and the others.
If he was here, he could just set up a formation.
It's useless to say this. , send an order to the brothers to calm down the horses, don’t make any noise, hide them all from me, don’t be discovered by them.”
"yes" When the pursuers got closer, Zhao Ziliang felt relieved after observing them, because these pursuers did not arrange for a reconnaissance team to explore and follow the path ahead.
However, after thinking about it, he felt that it was normal.
These people from the Ninth Royal Guards and the Armored Cavalry How can we do reconnaissance work?
They have no ability in this area.
The pursuers were jogging on horseback.
The rumble of horse hooves could be heard far away.
The friction of armor and weapons continued to sound.
The soldiers and horses left a cloud of smoke in the sky.
These people did not send people to explore suspicious places along the way. , they just passed by the hillside where Zhao Ziliang and others were hiding.
Liang Zhenwu watched these soldiers and horses passing down the hillside in a steady stream.
He whispered to Zhao Ziliang: "If it were me, I would definitely send someone up to investigate.
Unfortunately, we didn't make any preparations.
If we were given another half hour, Be prepared, just with more than 20 of us, we can cause them heavy casualties and a huge defeat."
Zhao Ziliang raised his finger to his mouth, signaling Liang Zhenwu to stop talking.
You must know that the opponent's army has two hundred innate masters, and the slightest sound may be noticed by them.
It wasn't until this group of soldiers and horses had completely passed by that Zhao Ziliang said: "They probably didn't expect that we would be traveling so slowly.
They must have thought that we were already in front.
Along the way, the traces we left behind have been covered up by those behind us."
The brothers have been cleared.
Besides, there are no experts who are proficient in tracking among them, so naturally they don’t know our specific location."
Watching the seven hundred cavalry go away, Liang Zhenwu asked: "Master, what should we do now?
Should we continue to move forward?
If we continue to go to Adrianople, we will definitely run into them."
Zhao Ziliang said: "There is more than one road to the Bulgar Khanate.
We do not necessarily have to take the Adrianople pass."
"No, sir, I have seen the map.
At least in this area, the only way to go to the Bulgar Khanate is through Adrianople.
There are no roads in other directions.
Or we can take the sea route, but if we are attacked by the Eastern Roman Empire at sea, The empire’s fleet is catching up and they can’t even run away.”
Zhao Ziliang looked at Liang Zhenwu and frowned: "There are no roads in this world.
The more people walk, the more roads we have.
If we have enough supplies, we can go over mountains and ridges without going through towns and passes." , but no supplement It seems that we can't go very far.
If we want to continue westward, we must visit Adrianople.
Let's go to Adrianople first.
When we get to the end of the field, we will send someone to investigate the situation.
If it is really No, we’ll take a detour.”
Liang Zhenwu agreed: "Yes"
Zhao Ziliang called for Felice again and said, "You saw what happened just now.
These people are chasing us.
If you continue to be our guide, it may be very dangerous.
After all, we didn't tell you in advance."
Know the dangers of this journey, this is the other half of the commission, take it and leave as soon as possible."

Phyllis caught the small bag of gold coins thrown by Zhao Ziliang, and said angrily: "Man, you are insulting me.
Since I accepted your employment, no matter how dangerous the journey is, I will To complete this transaction, I am a rough man.
I don't understand many things, but I know that no matter what profession I am engaged in in this world, Having integrity is a necessary condition for a person to survive.
Since a mercenary has accepted the employment, he must complete the commission even if he dies.
Since you have taken out the other half of the commission, I will not return it to you, but I I will never leave, but first of all, my duty is to be your guide, not to protect your safety."
Zhang Huchen, who was standing next to him, sneered: "Humph, I see you say you are glamorous, but in fact you are not greedy for money and afraid of death."
Felix's old face suddenly turned red and he pointed at Zhang Huchen: "How can you say that to me?
You can look down on me, but you must not insult me."
Zhao Ziliang waved to Zhang Huchen and said to Phyllis: "Phyllis, thank you, we really need you.
Without a guide, we may get lost or run into some unnecessary trouble.
With you as our guide, We can avoid a lot of trouble.
Your role is irreplaceable.
If there is a fight along the way, just hide and come out after the fight is over.
I believe that even if we are all killed, those people will not be embarrassed.
You are a guide” Felice was very impressed by these words and said to Zhang Huchen: "I heard that this is the difference between master and servant.
Otherwise, why can you people just be servants?"
"Okay, don't say any more, get ready, let's go, Liang Zhenwu, you take Phyllis and a few brothers to scout ahead, if they set an ambush in front, and we run into it without knowing it. , then it will be great fun," Zhao Ziliang told Liang Zhenwu.
"Understood" Liang Zhenwu agreed and nodded to the four people with his hand, "You, you, you, and you, follow me."
Zhao Ziliang then led Zhang Huchen and a dozen others from the bushes on the hillside back to the official road and continued westward.
With Liang Zhenwu leading people to scout in front, he felt more at ease, even those members of the Ninth Guards and the armored cavalry An ambush was set up ahead, and Liang Zhenwu's skills were enough to escape.
In the evening, Zhao Ziliang was riding slowly on the road with Zhang Huchen and others.
A guard ran back from the front on horseback and reported: "Sir, those people camped in the small town ahead.
General Liang and the remaining brothers are in their camp."
Keep an eye on the area around the camp and ask the young ones to come over and report."
Zhao Ziliang thought for a while and said: "Go and tell Liang Zhenwu and ask him to ask that Felice to see if it is possible to bypass the town and go to Adrianople.
If it is possible, we will rush to Adrianople overnight and tomorrow.
Get out as soon as it lights up.”
"yes" Missing, under the guidance of Phyllis, Zhao Ziliang and others rode through a field and bypassed the town to rush to Adrianople overnight
