Yuan Zheng glanced at Liu Shaolan. He did not expect that this wealthy young lady would think so wildly and the topic would shift to Lin Xiao.
However, Yuan Zheng didn't think much and quickly replied: "The commander-in-chief is a rare general. Not only is he powerful, but his ability to lead troops in battle is superb. I have never seen a commander-in-chief who can compare with him."
Liu Shaolan turned her head and glanced at Lin Xiao in the distance, her beautiful eyes sparkling.
"You seem to admire Mr. Lin?"
Yuan Zheng did not hesitate and immediately replied: "He is my commander-in-chief. I have followed him for many years. Of course I admire him."
"That's right."
Liu Shaolan nodded.
Yuan Zheng raised his wrist, looked at the waterproof watch on his left wrist, and then said: "Miss Liu, Mr. Wu——"

"My name is Ural, Ural is my name."
Ural interrupted Yuan Zheng.
"Okay, Mr. Ural, it's time for us to go over and have a meal. The rest time usually doesn't exceed half an hour. We have to hurry up and get on our way."
Yuan Zheng tried his best to speak in a polite tone.
Although Liu Shaolan was a rich young lady, she did not willfully disobey Yuan Zheng's instructions.
She nodded, and then with Ural's help, she prepared to go back to the camp to eat.
But at this moment, Yuan Zheng's expression suddenly changed.
"What happened, Commander Yuan?"
Liu Shaolan asked curiously.
Yuan Zheng did not answer. He looked up at the mountains and forests in the distance, looking at the smoke and dust gradually rising in the mountains and forests, and his face became more and more ugly.
Then, he quickly lay down on the ground, put his ear to the ground and listened.
Seeing this scene, Ural's expression became very ugly.
"Is there an ambush?"
Ural asked quickly.
Yuan Zheng got up from the ground, and then said quickly: "Someone is coming, almost more than a hundred people, and there are horses..."
After finishing speaking, Yuan Zheng turned to look in the direction of the camp and shouted: "Enemy attack!"
Suddenly, the atmosphere in the camp changed drastically.
The ten city defense soldiers immediately stopped eating, packed up their belongings very quickly, and got on their horses.
The whole process took less than thirty seconds!
In comparison, the nine Guards soldiers were far behind. The City Defense Army soldiers had already got on their horses, and they were still looking around in confusion!
"Mount your horse! Enemy attack!"
Yuan Zheng rushed back to the camp and quickly reported the situation to Lin Xiao: "Commander, there are people approaching quickly, more than a hundred people in number!"
"Could it be Korosak's people ambushing us?"
Ural grabbed Liu Shaolan's hand and ran over and asked.
"I don't know yet. Now is not the time to dwell on such issues. You should get in the car first."
The envoy's convoy started and drove quickly in the direction of Korosak.
This time, Lin Xiao no longer deliberately controlled the speed, but kept accelerating.
At this time, more than a hundred enemy troops galloped out of the mountains and forests and chased the convoy.
It was a mercenary group without a banner, and the mercenaries wore a variety of clothes, not standard clothes, so it was impossible to tell which side they belonged to.
But what is certain is that they should not be Korosak's official troops.
Because if it were Korosak's official troops, there wouldn't be such chaos.
Moreover, the Dorado delegation was visiting Korosak. If they were killed on the way, the biggest suspect would be Korosak.
Even if Korosak really wanted to deal with Lin Xiao and others, he would not use such crude and reckless methods.
"Speed up and hurry up. As long as we reach the warning range of Korosak, we will be safe!"
Lin Xiao said to Yuan Zheng and other city defense soldiers.
Upon hearing this, the soldiers of the city defense army sped up, spurring their horses to keep speeding up, and the five military off-road vehicles also continued to roar, raising the speed again and again.
But even so, they were not able to shake off the enemy troops behind.
As time goes by, the distance between the two parties becomes closer and closer, and they are less than 100 meters away from each other.
At this moment, a sharp arrow suddenly flew over!
Seeing that a city defense soldier was about to be shot in the shoulder, Lin Xiao immediately drew his sword. As the silver sword light flashed, the extremely fast arrow was cut off by Lin Xiao's sword.
But more arrows followed.
"Pay attention to protection and don't get shot!"
Lin Xiao ordered loudly.
Liu Shaolan in the car was so frightened that her face turned pale.
She never imagined that she would be ambushed halfway on her mission to Korosak.
What exactly is going on?
Could it be that there is a third-party force that wants to create misunderstandings and make Dorado and Korosak meet at war?
Or is it someone from Korosak who, using his identity as a wandering mercenary group, wants to bury Lin Xiao, Yuan Zheng and others who destroyed the Black Gold Flower mercenary group here?
If it's the latter, it's even more dangerous.
However, for the time being, it seems that the former is more likely.
"Don't worry, Miss, I will protect you!"
Ural said seriously to Liu Shaolan.
The enemy troops behind are getting closer and closer. If this continues, they will be overtaken sooner or later.
There are bifurcated roads ahead. Although they both lead to Korosak, their lengths are different. One of the roads will take a long detour.
After a slight hesitation, Lin Xiao ordered: "Ural, you take the guards to protect Miss Liu and take a shortcut to Korosak."
"What about you?"
Ural asked quickly.
"I will take the city defense soldiers and go another way to attract the enemy's attention!"
Hearing Lin Xiao's words, Ural was shocked.
He did not expect that Lin Xiao would be willing to use himself, Yuan Zheng and ten city defense soldiers as bait to attract the enemy to pursue him so that he could escape with Liu Shaolan.
His dignity as a man will never allow him to do this!
But considering Liu Shaolan, he could not refuse such an arrangement.
The fork in the road was coming, and Ural did not hesitate any longer. He could only nod and agree: "Okay, but you have too few people. Five Guardsmen will be given to you!"
Lin Xiao did not refuse, after all, now is not the time to dwell on such small issues.
Arriving at the fork in the road, the five off-road vehicles immediately took a shortcut and headed towards Korosak quickly.
Lin Xiao and Yuan Zheng led ten city defense soldiers and five Guards soldiers on the long road.
Less than half a minute later, more than a hundred enemy troops were chasing after him.
The leader of the mercenary group immediately stopped and looked at the two roads.
"Boss, which way should we pursue?"
A subordinate asked hurriedly.
The leader of the mercenary group thought for a moment, and then said: "The ones taking the shortcut are Liu Qianxiong's daughter Liu Shaolan and her bodyguard. Although important, the shortcut is difficult to catch up with. Maybe they will have arrived before we catch up.
Korosak is gone.”
