The head of the Su family brought paper and pen from the trainer, and all of them were handed over to the trainer for safekeeping. Moreover, in order to facilitate information to be easily carried, the width of the paper strip cannot exceed one inch, and naturally, it is impossible to use a brush, but a charcoal pen to write more information in the smallest space.

The head of the Su family lowered his head and thought for a while, wrote a line of words on the paper, then rolled it into a roll, tied to the legs of the bird, and ordered: "Send this letter to Mr. Mei immediately."

The trainer released the Bird of Letters as directed by the head of the Su family. The Bird of Letters has a strong sense of direction. He let go anywhere in the territory of Zou and eventually can return to the capital. After he returns to the capital, he will take it back uniformly.

The birds took off in a hurry. It would not be slow to deliver messages with fast horses, but that was only relative to the plains and wilderness. The northern part of Zou State is mountainous, and it is quite difficult for horses to move, which is far less than the flight speed of the birds. It is precisely for this reason that there are few monster troops in the northern part of Zou State, so the city walls made by the village can also withstand one or two, helping them safely spend the night of the moon.

In less than half a day, Xinniao arrived at the capital. The trainer responsible for conveying the information found Xinniao and immediately handed the note to Mei Nanling himself intact. He was not qualified to view the contents on the note.

Mei Nanling received the message from the head of the Su family and immediately summoned Zheng Yunsheng, Song Jiang and Mei Chao to pass the contents on the note to everyone one by one, "Master Su is trapped on the plank road now. What do you think you should do now?"

Several people came to a huge sand table, which included all the terrain of Zou State, mountains, rivers, major cities, and troops stationed in various cities.

Mei Nanling looked at the sand table and said slowly in a deep voice: "Now Lin Tao and the others must be not far from the plank road, but they are about to leave the border of Zou State. Once they leave Zou State, we will have no way to control the whereabouts of these dozens. At that time, they are equivalent to fish entering the sea, and we can only watch them escape."

The reason is this, Lin Tao thought so in his heart, and Lin Tao knew that Mei Nanling thought so in his heart.

Zheng Yunsheng frowned and suddenly pointed to a place, Beiyancheng, "Mr. Mei, have you forgotten that tomorrow's night is the moon-watching night. Lin Tao must find a place to stay before tomorrow night."

Song Jiang suddenly realized, nodded, and said, "So that's it, haha, Mr. Zheng really woke up the dreamer with one word. Lin Tao and the others wanted to find a place to settle down. The only possibility was Beiyan City, which is closest to the border of Zou State, and it was a natural springboard to escape from Zou State. And..."

Mei Nanling interrupted the two and said, "Who is the guardian of Beiyan City? Is it ours?"

After occupying the capital of Zou State, the country of Zou State was nominally destroyed, and Meinanling sent many fairy expedition forces to take over the major cities of Zou State in turn, but Beiyan City was no longer among them.

Song Jiang reminded: "The guardian of Beiyan City... If I remember correctly, the guardian was originally from Zou State. After we occupied Lingri City, the guardian of Beiyan City fled. Therefore, there is now an empty city, and we have not had time to send someone to take over."

Mei Nanling suddenly felt a sense of unwillingness in his heart, and said, "In other words, Beiyan City is now an empty city?"

Song Jiang nodded, shook his head again, and said, "It's not entirely true. After the generals of Beiyan City escaped, the rich gentry in the city spontaneously organized a militia organization, which was temporarily the only way to manage Beiyan City, but the management was quite chaotic. It should not be difficult for Lin Tao and the others to take advantage of this opportunity to get into Beiyan City on the night of Moon Watching."

Mei Nanling suddenly stood up and slapped the table and said, "That is to say, Beiyan City is our last chance to intercept Lin Tao and the others. Let's see, tomorrow night will be the Moon Watch Night. If we mobilize the army to set off now, it should be too late to completely stop Lin Tao and the others... It's in Beiyan City."

Meinanling said with a heavy finger and majestic force.

"However," Zheng Yunsheng suddenly interrupted Mei Nanling and said, "Our opponent is Lin Tao, and we still need to prepare for both."

"Prepare with both hands?" Mei Nanling frowned, not understanding what he meant.

Zheng Yunsheng nodded, pointed to a point on the map, which was north of Beiyan City, and said, "Lin Tao is very cunning. He may have guessed that if we want to intercept them in Beiyan City, we may give up entering Beiyan City, and instead speed up the journey and choose to leave the country directly. This may be a little more urgent, but it is not impossible to catch up."

Mei Nanling suddenly realized and said, "I understand. I will immediately write a letter to the northern border fortress of Beiyan City, asking them to intercept Lin Tao from the north. This time, Lin Tao has no way to enter the city, and no way to go north, and there is no way to die."

...

A mountain path north of the plank road within the territory of Zou State.

Lin Tao and his group led their horses and climbed slowly on the mountain road. Since they left the village, they did not follow the original route and headed towards Beiyancheng, but chose the original route and turned back and took the most impossible road.

As early as when passing the plank road, Lin Tao noticed that there was a faint mountain path not far from the intersection of the plank road. He asked Feng Xi and Li Si, where the mountain path leads. Although the two were senior intelligence personnel, they were not maps and it was impossible to know every corner of the Zou Kingdom.

To figure out this matter, please ask the local natives. While drinking in the tavern, they found an old man who often went to the mountains to chop wood and hunt when they were young. Sure enough, things got a little bit clear.

"Oh, you are talking about that path. It is a short road. After you walk about an hour, you will find a fork in the road. This fork in the north is the territory of Zhao State and the territory of Teng State to the east is the territory of Teng State." The old man recalled.

Lin Tao asked about a few more details and immediately made a decision that although there were certain risks on this road, it could avoid contact with the army in Meinanling as much as possible. The risks of this road mainly came from the arrival of the Moon Watch Night, where they were still staying in the wilderness.

No one knows better than them the horror of Yuewang Ye and the monster army. They were almost swallowed up by the monster army.

When it was dark, they finally found a fork in the road, one winding, extending north and one to the east.

There are two options in front of Lin Tao, to go to Zhao or to Teng Kingdom. Lin Tao resolutely chose the latter. As of now, Zhao is a big country and the domestic political situation is quite stable. They rashly enter and are easily detained by people with suspicious identities. After they find out their identities, Zhao will treat them as political chips and negotiate with the Immortal World Expeditionary Force. No matter what the negotiation result is, Lin Tao and the others will definitely end here.

Teng Kingdom is a different situation. Teng Kingdom was defeated recently, and the domestic situation was turbulent. Moreover, people are now in panic in Teng Kingdom, and the king and prime minister of Teng Kingdom are also in a state of anxiety and are all focused on domestic affairs, fearing that our fairy world expeditionary army, who had just taken over Zou Kingdom, would take advantage of the situation to take over Teng Kingdom.

Therefore, from top to bottom, from inside to outside, Teng Kingdom was in a very chaotic management. Officials at the grassroots level were busy packing luggage, burying property, or escaping with their families, and had no intention of managing. The upper class of Teng Kingdom, the king and prime minister of Teng Kingdom also sent letters to Wei, Zhao, Chu and other countries, and asked for help to fly to the three countries like snowflakes.

Lin Tao was sure that inside and outside the Teng Kingdom, no one would have thought that Lin Tao and his group who had just escaped would suddenly shoot back and return to Teng Kingdom.

But for safety reasons, it was still too obvious that these dozens of people were acting together. The group rushed to the middle of the night with the darkness and the meager moonlight. They were so tired that they barely rested for an hour and a half, and then they rushed to the road in a crazy way.

It was quiet along the way, and only the sound of everyone's footsteps were heard, the creaking sound of stepping on the leaves and branches, and the whole world was extremely quiet.

Finally, the sky shone little by little, and the dawn returned to the earth, red in the sky, with a faint warmth, shining on people's hearts.

From a distance, the Black Iron City of Teng Kingdom appeared on the horizon, surrounded by endless fields. Several people speeded up their pace, did not ride horses, walked a mountain road for a long time, and had not eaten grass and food. Their horses were almost exhausted, and one more died when crossing the mountain.

When I came outside the city, I saw that there were quite a few people coming and going here.

There is an inn outside the city, and next to it is a stable. Lin Tao and others left their horses here and ate at the stall selling breakfast tofu and naughty buns near the city gate.

After the meal, Lin Tao divided the people into several groups, each group of four or five people, or six or seven people, and in short, it was broken into pieces.

Lin Tao’s consideration was that dozens of them acted together, and they went in and out together, no matter how they looked at it, it was too obvious and too eye-catching. And this place was within the territory of Teng Kingdom, and their group of people must be on the wanted list, and acting together would definitely attract the attention of others.

Because the city is really not small, from south to north, from east to west, it looks like seven or eight miles. After they separated, they might not be inconvenient to contact each other in the city, Lin Tao asked the others to find their own residence after entering the city, safely spend the moonlight night, gather at the city gate, and after taking the horses from the stable, they rode their horses away from Tengguo.

Lin Tao distributed the only bag of golden sword coins left on his body to everyone. When he left the border city, he had about two bags of about two bags of sword coins on his body, and now there are only so many left. According to this usage progress, they probably would have to use up all their money before leaving Tengguo.
