Tuoba Keyan did not dare to be careless, nor could he stay and become Xue Gu's burden.
In the end, we could only follow Long Shiyi, lead a team of people, and leave in another direction.
Xue Gu alone, along with the Ninth Prince's more than one hundred Longwu troops, stayed on the road, giving them more time to escape.
No one expected that just over a hundred people would actually stop their team of thousands of people.
"Master, if we continue like this, we may not be able to catch up with Feng Jiuer."
The deputy general returned from the front line and said anxiously: "They have been gone for a stick of incense, but our people are still blocked here and cannot catch up at all."
"Except for the hundreds of people who were caught up by the vanguard, all the people behind were stopped."
The general frowned. He was not on the front line and didn't know what was going on there. However, with so many people leaving the front line, didn't the other side only have a few hundred people left?
"Who is leading the army?"
He actually stopped thousands of his men with less than 200 men and horses! Although this mountain stream is easy to defend and difficult to attack, it is not so difficult to attack! "It's a woman, and my subordinates don't know it.
.”
"A woman?"
This is simply unreasonable! How can a woman lead an army?
How can we lead this small number of soldiers, which is nearly ten times the strength at the moment?
"She..." Suddenly, soldiers from the rear hurriedly came forward and said hurriedly: "General, there is a group of people in front of us, coming quickly. It is estimated... that there are at least a thousand people!"
"What?"
"Master, I'm afraid it's the Longwu Army from Phoenix City."
"Then...what should we do?"
The general's face changed with fear.
This time, the Phoenix army was really provoked.
The city lord has long been advised that Phoenix City is not far from here. The ones protecting Feng Jiuer this time are the Longwu Army left by the Ninth Prince in the imperial city.
Once there is any movement, the army in Phoenix City will definitely be alerted.
It was the city lord who insisted on having his own way and insisted on touching the Ninth Prince's people.
Now, not only the general, but also everyone is panicking.
No one expected that the people from Phoenix City would come so quickly! "Master, we are not wearing the uniforms of soldiers. Why not... why not retreat now? As long as we do not fall into the hands of the Phoenix City Longwu Army, they will not
The evidence proves we did it."
The deputy general was also anxious. If he was caught, the city lord would definitely deny that he was his.
When the time comes, they will be regarded as traitors and traitors, and all of them will be killed.
"Okay, retreat!"
...Xue Gu watched coldly as the front team retreated in panic. She spurred her horse and took a few steps back. She said to the people in Tianji Hall behind her: "When Mu Mu's people arrive, tell them that everyone will leave separately and go to Phoenix City."
Assembling."
"Senior Xue..." "I think Yan seemed to be injured just now. I have to go find them first. When we get to Phoenix City, can I join you again?"
Without waiting for a response, she suddenly pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and ran towards the dense forest.
But the direction she rushed to was not the road Tuoba Keyan left, but the road taken by Jiu Qing and Feng Jiu'er.
However, in the chaos, no one noticed...the arbor headed all the way to the southwest.
The road ahead is vast, and in this deep mountain and wild forest, it’s hard to tell the direction after dark.
The biggest fear is that if they continue walking, they don’t know what beasts are waiting for them.
She let the horse slow down slowly, turned around and listened carefully for a while, but did not notice any movement coming from behind.
"We'll find a place later. Let's rest for a while and start our journey again tomorrow."
she said.
The mute slave behind him didn't hum and didn't respond at all.
Qiao Mu frowned slightly, thinking that his voice might not be fully healed yet and it was uncomfortable to speak, so he didn't care.
After riding the horse for a while, we finally saw a hidden cave ahead.
She said: "Mute slave, let's rest in this cave tonight, and then go find Jiu'er and the others tomorrow, okay?"
She knew that the mute slave was thinking about his master, and asking him to rest at night was an embarrassment in itself.
However, at this time, even if they chase them, there is no guarantee that they can catch up with Jiu'er and the others.
What's more, there are so many pursuers.
"Jiu'er and the others are riding Chai Feng. We can't catch up. Mute slave, don't be anxious. Tomorrow morning, go and see if they have left any marks. If so, we can catch up."
The mute slave remained silent. Qiao Mu thought he was sulking, so he had to explain.
However, the mute slave still didn't say a word. However, he leaned forward and pressed on her back.
Fortunately, Qiao Mu is tall enough and has a strong and strong physique. Otherwise, with the tall body of the mute slave, he would not be able to crush her and fall off the horse?
"Mute slave?"
Qiao Mu was a little confused and looked back, but unexpectedly saw blood stains on the arms and sleeves of the mute slave.
"Mute slave!"
She was startled, and jumped off the horse with the help of the mute slave.
As soon as he landed, he saw a cold arrow stuck on the mute slave's shoulder! And his eyes were closed tightly, and he had obviously fainted.
Damn it, I didn't notice that the mute slave was injured all the way here just now.
Now, the old bloodstains have dried up, and new bloodstains are still flowing.
Qiao Mu frowned, feeling a little heartbroken when she saw him like this.
This guy was injured from the beginning, but he didn't make a sound during the whole journey. I'm afraid he didn't faint until she said she could stop and take a rest.
Being so tolerant, no wonder Jiu'er likes him so much. If she had such a loyal and well-behaved follower, she would definitely be very nice to him.
Qiao Mu gathered his thoughts and helped the mute slave towards the cave ahead.
The horse followed behind her. She patted its mane gently and said: "We are going to rest here tonight. I'm afraid those people will chase me. You can go for a walk nearby and find a place to rest. I'll wait for you tomorrow morning."
, I will call you back."
They are all horses that have followed me for so many years. They can understand her words.
Sure enough, after the horse rubbed her, it turned around and ran away.
Qiao Mu pushed aside the weeds blocking the entrance of the cave and helped the unconscious mute slave in.
After cleaning up the overflow area, Qiao Mu asked the mute slave to lie on top.
The mute slave had woken up, opened his eyes slightly and looked at her, his white lips moving slightly.
With great difficulty, she finally heard the mute slave's words clearly: "Jiu'er...how are you?"
She felt pity in her heart. This man would always only miss his master.
Where can I find such a loyal follower?
Jiu'er didn't know what kind of bad luck he had to have such a good follower like a mute slave.
"She and Jiu Qing will be fine together, but you..." Qiao Mu looked at the cold arrow on his shoulder, suddenly took out a short knife from his waist, and said in a deep voice: "I have to cut your wound open
