Since the lord of Robito dared to blow up the train that Sterling was on, he must have the intention of killing Sterling.Therefore, in the territory of Robito, Sterling may have to be extremely careful in order to escape and return to Tled smoothly.

And Alger and I also walked carefully and slowly along the valley grass and other uninhabited places.Although Lord Neuss is after Sterling, what if he knows of my existence and plans to capture me and threaten Sterling?So, I have to be cautious.

But it's not easy to go anywhere where there are no people. Alger and I walked all night and didn't go too far.

Alger said, it’s not a surprise, we can travel at night and rest during the day, and there are no large carnivores nearby, so we don’t have to worry about threats from wild animals for the time being.

He found a hidden place and let me go to rest first, while he stayed nearby to guard.I didn't refuse, because I was too tired. Even if I wanted to help him share it, I could only wait for me to take a rest first.

After hastily eating a biscuit, I immediately fell asleep, not caring about whether the branches and grasses under my body were pricking.

When I woke up and looked at my watch, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.I immediately turned over and sat up, calling Alger in a low voice.When he heard the sound, he rushed over to ask me what was wrong. I scratched my head embarrassingly and said, "I'm sorry, I overslept. Let me keep watch instead, and you sleep for a while."

"No need," he waved his hand, "it's just that I didn't sleep all night, and it's okay for me."

"You'd better get some sleep, only if you are energetic enough can we hope to go out." I looked at him and said persistently.

In this deep mountain and old forest, if there is no Alger, I don't know what I should do, so no matter what happens, nothing happens to him.

Seeing that I was determined, he nodded and said, "Okay, I'll sleep for a while, and we'll continue our journey after the sun goes down."

Seeing him close his eyes, I left lightly, and then sat under a nearby tree, watching everything around me vigilantly.

It's colder here than in Ryder. Fortunately, Alger and I wore thick clothes, otherwise it would be hard enough to spend the night in the wild.However, the cold weather also has the advantage of being cold, at least things like poisonous snakes and insects will not appear.

Before I woke up, Argel woke up on time after the sun went down.For his accurate biological clock, I really admire him.

Taking advantage of the night, he took me through the forest again, and we approached the dividing line between the two territories little by little.

After finally surviving two days and one night, we set foot on the land of Tled.Although it was a hard journey, we didn't encounter any danger, which made me and Alger secretly rejoice.

When the soldiers guarding the border found us, they immediately stepped forward to question us.Alger stepped forward and showed his ID. The soldier gave a military salute immediately after seeing him, and then ran back to report to his superior.

Soon, a man in military uniform came over. He called himself Mike, and he was the captain of the soldiers here.Although Alger was the vice-captain of the pro-guards, he directly followed Sterling's orders, so his official position was naturally much higher than Mike's.

Mike is very humble to Alger. Although he doesn't know my identity, he is as smart as him, so he is naturally very polite to me.Alger didn't say much, and directly ordered him to prepare a carriage, then pulled me into the carriage without stopping, and rushed to Terai City immediately.

After the carriage ran a certain distance, Alger said to me: "It's a long night and dreamy, we'd better hurry back to Terai City as soon as possible. You haven't slept since last night, go in and sleep for a while now, if there is a situation, I will Call you."

"...Okay." I hesitated for a moment, and got into the carriage to sleep according to his instructions.

I know that I can't help him too much, I just hope that I don't hold him back at critical moments, and maintaining the best state and physical strength may be the only thing I can do.

I was in a drowsy sleep when I suddenly felt the carriage stopped, and my body rolled off the seat out of inertia.When I encountered this, I immediately woke up.

Outside the carriage, Alger was whispering something to someone, and then the curtain was pulled open, and Alger's face appeared at the window.When he met my gaze, he was startled for a moment, and said, "You just woke up, I have something to tell you."

Seeing his serious expression, I immediately asked, "What's the matter?"

He paused, and said, "My lord and his party were ambushed and had to go back a long way, and we haven't reached Tled yet."

As long as Sterling is fine, if we rush back first, maybe we can ask Alger and William to organize a manpower to meet him.

"One more thing." He looked at me, his brows were already slightly frowned, "We may not be able to return to the Lord's Mansion smoothly."

"Why?" I blurted out.

"Buck ordered his subordinates to catch you." He said slowly.

I couldn't help being startled, and then asked inexplicably, "What did he arrest me for?"

"I guess, he wants to use you to threaten your lord." Alger's face was watery, and there was anger in his eyes.

I don't know how important I am to Sterling, but I guess if Buck wants to trade me for the lordship, then he really thinks highly of me.I don't want to satisfy Buck, nor do I want to verify my weight in Sterling's heart through this incident, so I must not be caught by Buck.

"Then what should we do?" At this moment, I could only ask Alger for help.

"We can't walk on the big road, we have to take the mountain path." He looked at me apologetically, as if he felt very guilty for making this suggestion.

Do you want to trek again?After less than a day of rest, I will experience this miserable life again.

"Okay, let's go right away." I packed up what I could bring, and jumped out of the carriage.

The person who talked to Alger before has been standing silently by the side. I haven't seen him, but from his standing posture, it can be seen that he should be a soldier.

After Alger and I finished talking, he turned to the man and said, "Go back in the carriage. If you meet Buck's people, remember to set up secret signals along the way."

"Yes!" The man saluted Alger, then drove the carriage forward.

"Let's go." Argel stretched out his hand towards me. I hesitated for a moment, but I still stretched out my hand.The mountain road is not easy to walk, and with his help, I can save a few falls.

After walking for a while, I couldn't help asking, "How soon can we walk back?"

"About two days." Alger replied.

The dividing line between Robito and Tled is a rolling mountain. We have been climbing the mountain for the past few days, so we have traveled so long for a short distance; and now we are going to Tlay almost from the mountains to the plains. , the speed will naturally be faster, plus it took half a day to drive in a carriage, so it should be able to get there in two days.

When we passed through a forest, there was a sudden gunshot in the distance, startling a flock of birds from the forest to the air.

Alger grabbed my hand and clenched it for an instant, whispered "no", and then pulled me to run away from the gunshots.

Although Alger didn't have time to say anything more, I can probably guess something - the person who parted ways with us before must have met Buck's men.The reason why he shot, maybe in self-defense, maybe deliberately to warn us.And I guess he fired the shot, because I knew that Buck's people definitely didn't want to startle the snake, so I didn't dare to shoot casually.

Even if we were walking through the forest before, we were not far from the main road, so as not to get lost and return to Tled as soon as possible.But if those who are chasing are on the main road now, they are very close to us.The person who warned the police in this situation probably wanted to tell us that their people are all around...

I didn't care about thinking too much, so I could only run wildly with Alger.The wind whizzed past my ears, the branches and leaves brushed past my face in an instant, my running legs had become numb and mechanical, and there was only one thought in my mind - to escape from here!

I was running desperately when suddenly I tripped over something and my body fell forward involuntarily.Alger noticed me, and quickly turned around and reached out to catch me. Unfortunately, I fell forward with too much momentum, directly crushing him to the ground, and then pulled him to the bottom of the slope.

"Don, are you okay?" Alger got up, looked at me and asked eagerly.

"I'm fine..." I tried to sit up, and I couldn't help but reach out and rub my back, where it was hurt by a stone just now.I tried to twist my waist to make sure there was nothing wrong with my back.

"Come on, I vaguely heard the sound of horseshoes, we have to find a place to hide quickly." He said, he helped me up, and then pulled me forward.

The sun had already set, and if we could delay until nightfall, our chances of escape would be better.

At the bottom of the slope, except for some bushes half a person's height, there are only a few small trees as thick as the mouth of a bowl, and there is no place to hide at all.Alger and I walked forward cautiously while looking for a suitable hiding place.

Finally, we found a large rock outcropping from the dirt on the slope, and there was a wide gap in the rock!

"Tang, hide in!" Alger immediately pulled me where to go.

The gap in the rock seems to be very large, but if you want to get in, you have to lean your body sideways, and it seems that only one person can hide.

"No, Alger, the gap is too small." I shook my head at Alger.

"Try it first." He looked at me and said persistently.

I had no choice but to try to get in, but the result was just as I thought, only one person could barely get in.

"Look, I said no." I was about to back out, but he blocked it with his hand.

"Tang, stay inside and don't make a sound," he looked at me and said earnestly, "When it's almost dawn, you leave here and run to the south. I've sent out a message for people to go there to pick us up."

"What about you?" I heard something wrong in his words, and asked immediately, "I'm hiding here, what about you?"

"Don't worry, I have my own way." He smiled at me, putting on a confident look.

"What can you do?" I continued to ask, "You don't want to lure those people away, do you?"

"Don't worry about me, I promise I'm fine, and you, you must remember what I said, you know?"

"No!" I shook my head decisively, "I want to go with you!"

"Are you afraid you'll never see me again?"

He stared firmly into my eyes, saw that I hesitated but nodded and admitted, he smiled brightly, and asked: "Do you know why the lord asked me to be the vice-captain of his personal guard? Because I am a very important member of his subordinates." Strong one!"

I know that he is very powerful, from the first time I saw him, I felt the aura of intrigue in him.

"But……"

But now, the enemy is outnumbered, no matter how powerful he is, he can't beat four hands with two fists, not to mention that the opponent must have a gun in his hand...

"Shhh" he motioned me to silence, then leaned over and whispered, "hear the hooves? They're gonna get here soon, so we're running out of time. Listen to me quietly, if they get to you first , I will find a chance to save you, if they don't find you, then you have to do what I say, understand?"

"Then what if..." My throat moved slightly, but I couldn't say anything else.

What if you get caught?what do I do?

"Your Excellency will be back soon, so we'll be fine, as long as we get through these few days, you know?" He nodded slightly at me, signaling that I believed in his decision.

"Okay, I'll do it." I said softly, "You must be careful, we will meet at the south."

"Okay." He nodded again, then looked at me quietly, as if he still had something to say.

"Don..." A moment later, when he spoke again, his voice was already a little hoarse.

I looked at him, waiting for his next words, but he suddenly covered my mouth with his hand, and then kissed me.

He slightly closed his eyes and kissed her, but it was his own hand that he kissed...

My mind went blank, and I stared in shock at his face so close.

Before I came back to my senses, he had withdrawn his hand and turned away, leaving me alone in the crevice of the stone, looking at the direction he left with complicated emotions.
