129. Escape into the forest

"The Inca Lesson" (Fiction) "The Demolition of the Inca Empire" Volume 2 Zhang Baotong

However, after a while of sleep, Tusak knocked on the door. Manco asked loudly, "What's wrong?" Tusak said, "The Spaniards are here." As soon as Tusak finished his words, Manco rushed out of the house with Taparaka. Seeing that the king and the princess came out, Tusak said, "Go away, please." As he said that, he took four guards to protect Manco and Taparaka hurried into the forest next to the village. After entering the forest, they did not immediately run towards the depths of the forest, but hid in a dense place and watched the entrance of the village.

In a few minutes, a group of people ran over from the hillside at the entrance of the village, with forty or fifty people sparsely. However, what surprised the Inca King was that none of these people rode horses.

Manco said to Tusak, "No, the Spaniards all ride horses, but these people don't ride horses. Will they be our own?" Tusak also said, "That's right, let's talk about it when they get closer."

The group of people entered the village in panic, but the village was pitch black and there seemed to be no one. In fact, the people in the village had already let the Inca king move to another place. The group seemed to have some concerns, but they just stood in front of the hut where Manco lived, whispering something, but did not dare to disturb him.

Tusac walked slowly to the edge of the forest, heard their voices, and quietly ran over to Manco and said, "King, they are our troops." Manco actually realized that they were not Spanish at all. So, he asked Tusac to go over and check the truth first.

Tusak walked out of the forest, quietly approached the group of people, and asked, "Who are you?" The people over there heard Tusak's voice and said, "Prince Guards, we are the soldiers of the king." Tusak walked up to them and saw that, right, ran back to the forest and shouted to the forest, "Great King, these people are our soldiers."

Then Manco took the others out of the forest. When the soldiers saw the king coming, they hurriedly lined up and bowed to the Inca King. The Inca King asked, "Who is your leader?" A burly middle-aged man stepped forward and replied, "Inca school official Yibaku greeted the king." Manco looked at the man in front of him, and thought the man was familiar, so he said, "Where is General Sapa?" The school official Yibaku said, "Report to the king, we live in a private residence in the street. When he heard that the Spaniards came, he hurriedly ran away. However, he heard that the granary barracks where General Sapa and his people lived had been surrounded by the Spanish. When we left the street, we heard that there was a great fight. At that time, we kept running towards this side, and we didn't know how General Sapa and his people fought."

Manco asked again, "Didn't you see the Spanish cavalry along the way?" Ibaku said, "No."

Manco thought it was a little strange, so he said to Tusak, "What's wrong with the Spanish? This is a bit wrong!" Tusak said, "Yes, the Spanish cavalry have always chased us in the Inca kings and the Incas." The school official of Imaku immediately said, "Is it because the wooden bridge on the river that was demolished? When we crossed the river, we all went down into the water to swim."

As the Inca king Manko yawned, he said to the school official of Imaku, "Send someone to guard the village entrance immediately. When you see the Spanish chasing you, call the police immediately." After that, he took Princess Taparaka back to his house to sleep.

Manco returned to the house, lived in bed and fell asleep. At some point, he was awakened by the sharp horns, but when he was a little awake, the horns stopped ringing again. He felt that he was nervous and wrong. So he turned over and fell asleep again. However, he was quickly awakened by Tapalaka next to him. Tapalaka said, "Get up quickly, the trumpet is blowing outside."

Manco listened carefully again, and there was no trumpet, saying, "Where is there any trumpet?" Taparaka said, "It has been ringing for a long time." At this time, the door of the house was pushed open with force, and Tusak shouted, "King, go quickly, the Spanish cavalry are coming." When Manco heard this, he jumped out of the bed from the bed, pulled Taparaka and rushed out of the door in the dark.

As soon as you go out, you can hear the sound of horse hooves galloping from the village head, and the soldiers standing guard and guarding at the entrance of the village were also shouting and running towards the forest. Manko and Taparaka quickly entered the forest under the escort of Tusak and the guards.

As soon as they entered the forest, they saw one or two hundred Spanish cavalry swarming from the entrance of the village. They entered the village and surrounded the village and searched them from house to house. As a result, they arrested the palace chef and maid and took them to the flat valley ground in front of the village.

Gonzalo walked up to the chef, pointed at the chef with a whip, and asked sternly, "Who are you?" The chef may have never seen a Spanish before. When he saw Spain's fierce appearance, he was so scared that he almost cried and said, "I am not a soldier, I am a cook." Gonzalo said, "Who is cooking for? I am cooking for the Indians?" The chef said, "I am cooking for the King of Incas." Gonzalo laughed when he heard this, "It's great. If you cook for the King of Incas, you must know where the King of Incas are."

The chef pointed to the cottage in the dark and said, "The Inca King lives in that cottage." Gonzaro asked immediately, "Have you searched for that cottage?" A soldier immediately replied, "I have searched for it, but there is no one inside." Gonzaro said to the soldiers, "Go and see with me." Then he took a few soldiers into the cottage where the Inca King had just lived.

After a while, Gonzalo shouted to the soldiers, "The Inca King did not run far away, search me quickly." As he said that, he immediately sent a small group of cavalry to chase the deep mountains along the path, allowing the rest to enter the forest to search.

The Spaniards lit many torches and entered the forest. A lot of light flashed in the dark forest, which shakingly moved towards the forest. But at this time, Inca king Manco had already run deep into the forest. Moreover, the Indian soldiers entering the forest were also concentrated towards him from all directions. Soon, there were fifty or sixty soldiers behind him. The Indians had a strong sense of direction in the forest, and they ran quickly along the direction northward along the forest.

Going up to a very high mountain in the forest, the sky is already slightly bright. Standing on the top of the mountain, you can see the continuous forest stretching to the distant edge of the mountain opposite. At the foot of the mountain opposite is the path leading to the Tambo Palace.
