The rebel army's foremost master craftsman forged a million iron pylons!

"Damn it, Qi Yongzhe is so lucky, he actually got the credit ahead of time." Someone shouted sarcastically.

"Stop shouting! A messenger from Captain Su's camp just came and said that since the man has been captured, we need to go back to Captain Su's camp immediately to report to him," someone shouted.

Li Tian and Chen Junshan exchanged a glance and silently followed behind the main group.

Before long, the group arrived at the outside of a camp. Li Tian took one look and was immediately amazed.

This camp was actually built on top of an ancient tomb that they used as an arsenal.

The two exchanged a glance, and taking advantage of the crowd's inattention, quickly distanced themselves from the main group.

A moment later, the two figures appeared in a patch of grass that was taller than a person.

The two immediately removed their heavy armor and drove their warhorses to a nearby spot.

"Sergeant, what should we do next?" Chen Junshan asked, glancing at Li Tian.

"Go and find someone with a tongue first, and ask them about the situation in the army," Li Tian said calmly.

"I'll go." Chen Junshan immediately lowered his body and quickly sneaked towards the military camp.

Before long, Chen Junshan, carrying an unconscious man in armor under his arm, ran quickly toward them.

With a thud, the armored vehicle was slammed heavily onto the ground.

Li Tian pinched the philtrum of the armored man, and the armored man slowly woke up from his coma.

Before he could react, a gleaming dagger was pressed against his neck.

"Who are you?" Ironclad asked in a weak voice, startled.

"I am the Li Tian you are looking for," Li Tian said coldly.

"Tell me, what happened in the military camp tonight? Where is Wu Laoliu, whom you arrested, being held?"

what.

It's Li Tian.

He actually had the audacity to come here.

The armored soldier was so shocked he couldn't speak. After a long while, he finally came to his senses and said calmly, "I don't know the specifics, but according to the news from the camp, the traitor Wu Laoliu suddenly escaped on the way to be escorted."

"Centurion Qi and his men are searching for them."

They actually ran away.

This result was also unexpected for Li Tian.

Li Tian glanced at the soldier before him, a cold glint in his eyes, and with a light stroke of his wrist, the soldier died instantly.

"Sergeant, what should we do next?" Chen Junshan continued to ask.

"Let's go back to where we started and take another look."

"No matter what, we must find Wu Laoliu before dawn."

Li Tian and Chen Junshan mounted their horses again and quietly left the military camp.

Half an hour later.

Li Tian and Chen Junshan returned to the place where Wu Laoliu was arrested.

The two squatted down and carefully examined the area. They finally discovered a line of hoofprints heading southeast. Although the prints were somewhat messy, they were clearly older than the other hoofprints.

"Head southeast."

Without wasting words, Li Tian led Chen Junshan southeast, and soon the group arrived at the edge of a grove of trees.

On the path outside the woods, a group of a dozen or so cavalrymen, carrying torches, were quietly waiting for something.

The leader, clad in full armor, sat on his warhorse, whispering to the two soldiers beside him.

By the moonlight, Li Tian saw two objects on the man's saddle—a hand crossbow and a repeating crossbow, unique to the Wolf Head Fortress army.

"Found them! These are the people who captured Wu Laoliu. Wu Laoliu's things are in their hands." Li Tian was overjoyed and immediately lowered his voice to say.

Chen Junshan glanced at it by the moonlight and nodded slightly. "Sergeant, what should we do next?"

"Just wait. If they arrest Wu Laoliu later, we'll find a way to intercept the prison van."

"If we don't find it, we'll go back into the mountains to search carefully again at daybreak tomorrow."

Li Tian said calmly.

The two men quietly retreated to a grove of trees behind the group, about 500 meters away.

……

The wait was tedious and boring, with soldiers occasionally riding out of the woods on their warhorses to report to the officer in chainmail.

The officer's expression grew increasingly grim.

It seems that the process of capturing Wu Laoliu did not go very smoothly.

Li Tian and Chen Junshan weren't in a hurry, and just waited patiently.

Finally, just as dawn was breaking, a large number of armored vehicles rushed back from all parts of the mountains and gathered together, numbering more than thirty.

The officer cursed at the sky twice, then led his troops away slowly.

Li Tian and Chen Junshan exchanged a smile.

It seems that Wu Laoliu is still alive.

……

About half an hour later.

The two abandoned their warhorses and hiked up the mountain to begin a thorough search of the forest.

The mountain path was covered with messy hoofprints, but Li Tian and his group still managed to find some very blurry footprints.

Since Wu Laoliu escaped from the prison cart, he naturally escaped on foot.

Li Tian's spirits lifted, and he immediately led Chen Junshan to carefully search the blurry footprints on the road.

Before long, a cliff appeared before Li Tian and Chen Junshan.

Li Tian was completely dumbfounded. Behind him was a mountain range that stretched for more than ten miles, and in front of him was a cliff. Where on earth had Wu Laoliu gone?

"Chen Junshan, where do you think Lao Liu is hiding?" Li Tian turned around and asked Chen Junshan.

Chen Junshan thought for a moment and said, "With such a high cliff, and Lao Liu not carrying any equipment, if it were me, I would definitely run into the dense forest in the southwest."

Li Tian did not rush to give a judgment, but said calmly, "Let's wait a while."

Immediately afterwards, Li Tian closed his eyes and listened quietly.

He heard heavy breathing halfway down the cliff, as if someone was injured.

In this desolate wilderness, wounded and being chased by the imperial army, who else could it be but Wu Laoliu?

Li Tian was instantly overjoyed.

Wu Laoliu—found!

"I found Wu Laoliu, he's right at the bottom of the cliff." Li Tian opened his eyes and said calmly to Chen Junshan.

"Old Wu, you're down the mountain. If you hear me, give me a shout." Before Chen Junshan could react, Li Tian had already taken a deep breath and shouted loudly towards the middle of the cliff.

Inside the cave, Wu Laoliu lived in constant fear all night, as the sound of the imperial army's iron hooves could be heard overhead from time to time.

Fortunately, just half an hour ago, the sound of iron hooves overhead gradually thinned out.

Wu Laoliu was leaning against the rock wall of the cave, about to rest for a while, when suddenly a shout came from the cliff above his head.

Wu Laoliu's heart was instantly filled with joy.

He is a squad leader.

It's Li Tian.

The sergeant himself came to find him.

Wu Laoliu immediately poked his head out of the cave and looked up. He saw two figures standing on the cliff, namely Li Tian and Chen Junshan.

"Squad leader, it's me, Wu Laoliu, here." Wu Laoliu immediately stood at the entrance of the cave and waved his arms at Li Tian and the other man above him.

Li Tian smiled.

Wu Laoliu is still alive.
