Hua Mulan fought against the green-faced man, and there were no accidents.
In the first ten rounds, Hua Mulan could barely hold on. After ten rounds, she was at a disadvantage and was completely restrained by the green-faced man. This was because the green-faced man was showing mercy and did not want to kill a woman.
"Good girl, please leave early. You are no match for me."
Hua Mulan, however, was cruel. She danced with the heavy sword in her hand more and more bravely. Every move was a life-threatening attack. She killed eight hundred enemies and lost a thousand to herself.
The green-faced man had enough energy left to trap Hua Mulan with the iron rod in his hand. Hua Mulan was like a fish caught in a net. No matter how hard she struggled, she couldn't get out of the net.
Li Xingzai stared at this scene closely, and gradually gritted his teeth. If the fight continued, Hua Mulan would definitely be defeated. And in this situation, if the green-faced man was ready to kill him, he would definitely be able to defeat Hua Mulan within ten rounds.
"General Hua, hold on."
Li Xingzai suddenly shouted, turned around and fled with his men.
There is no other way to make such a decision. The current situation is extremely unfavorable to Li Xingzai. Hua Mulan can sacrifice, but Li Xingzai must not die.
If the king wants his subjects to die, they must die. At critical moments, some people can be sacrificed.
After knowing that she was an outcast, Hua Mulan was determined to fight to the death with the green-faced man.
The green-faced man did not expect Li Xingzai to be so ruthless. He had no time to tangle with Hua Mulan and immediately ordered his soldiers to pursue him.
Hua Mulan single-handedly blocked his way to buy time for Li Xingzai to escape.
"Go away."
There was a loud roar, like thunder, and Hua Mulan's ears were buzzing. When she regained consciousness, the iron rod was already under her hood.
At the last moment, he was merciful and switched from knocking to pushing, knocking Mulan off his horse with one move.
Why did it take ten rounds? I really wanted to defeat Hua Mulan, but it just happened in a matter of seconds.
The army rode past Hua Mulan, and no one looked at her again.
Their target this time was indeed Li Xingzai. As for the others, they were not within their attack range.
Li Xingzai is very good at escaping. He also knows the situation today. There is no big difference between ten people or a hundred people around him. With more people, the target is bigger, and it is easier to attract the enemy's attention.
So as soon as he escaped into the mountains and forests, Li Xingzai immediately asked his soldiers to disperse, and he took Li Waner with him to trek through the endless mountains and forests.
It is not easy to find two people in the vast mountains and wilderness. The opponent does not have many men and horses, and it is obvious that they want to fight a surprise attack. As long as the time is prolonged, Li Xingzai still has a chance to survive.
The strong wind and waves have passed, but Li Xingzai really doesn't want to capsize in the gutter.
The soldiers spread out and launched a dragnet search in this mountain forest. The green-faced man who led the army this time also knew that the time could not be delayed too long. If Li Xingzai could not be killed at the beginning, he might not have this chance in the future.
Li Xingzai and Li Waner fled all the way, feeling dizzy. Now he doesn't know which direction he fled to.
The pursuers behind him are getting tighter and tighter. Once caught up, there is only a dead end.
Li Xingzai gritted his teeth and decided to set fire to short circuit. It was the dry season in winter, so Li Xingzai set fire to the grass and separated the pursuers.
This did buy him some breathing time, but it also exposed his whereabouts. The pursuers were worried that they couldn't find Li Xingzai, so they left the others alone and swarmed towards him.
However, this also saved Li Xingzai's life in disguise.
Cheng Dalei had just arrived and was worried about not being able to find the scene of the incident. The fire drew him there, riding a black bull, which was the most conspicuous sign.
When Cheng Dalei met people, he would catch each one he met, catch a pair of two he met, and restrain them all behind him.
These people are indeed members of Toad Village. Not everyone may have seen Cheng Dalei, but everyone must recognize Cheng Dalei.
Zhang Fei was searching everywhere for Li Xingzai's whereabouts, but the time had dragged on even longer, and there was no way to drag it out any longer.
"Zhang Fei!"
At this moment, a loud shout came from behind.
Zhang Fei was agitated, turned around and said subconsciously: "Who is looking for me?"
Then he saw Cheng Dalei riding a black bull and chasing after him vigorously.
"It's not me. You got the wrong person."
After blurting out a sentence, Zhang Fei immediately fled away on horseback, disappearing without a trace in an instant.
Cheng Dalei sighed and did not chase after him. He just restrained the people in Toad Village together. After taking a look across the sea of fire, he realized that today was not the right time to meet Li Xingzai. He only hoped that he could return to the Jiangnan Army Camp alive.
Cheng Dalei returned to Lingchuan City with his troops, and happened to see Zhang Fei at the city gate.
Zhang Fei led the horse, wiped the sweat from his face, and said: "Master, what are you busy with? Do you have any tasks today?"
Cheng Dalei gave him a meaningful look, but said nothing and returned to the city lord's mansion alone.
Zhang Fei was sweating in his heart. He knew that he had been exposed. It was up to him whether Cheng Dalei was willing to expose him. In his imagination, there must be a violent storm next.
Shortly after Zhang Fei returned to the city, he immediately went to Liu Bei to discuss how to deal with it.
But he saw Liu Bei wearing a sackcloth, wearing mourning, and wearing plain clothes. Zhang Fei was shocked: "Brother, don't you think so hard?"
Liu Bei had a resolute look on his face: "I have decided to give my advice to the great master. If the great master insists on disobeying me, I will crash to death in front of him."
The two of them prepared carefully, thinking about how to deal with the next thing.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Dalei didn't even mention this matter at all, as if it never happened.
When it got dark and no one came to summon him, Liu sighed and took off the white hat on his head.
"That's all, the boss didn't even give us a chance to meet."
Cheng Dalei was also a little scared. This matter was not planned by one person. He was afraid that everyone in Toad Village might have had a hand in it. If he brought them together, he would end up being attacked by a group of them.
fate.
Therefore, Cheng Dalei could only pretend to be confused and pretend that this incident did not happen.
Li Xingzai survived the fire and finally met Hua Mulan halfway. Even Li Xingzai didn't expect that Hua Mulan was still alive.
The three of them got together and returned to the Jiangnan Army Camp. After meeting Qi Jiguang and others, they recounted what happened on the way, and everyone was frightened into a cold sweat.
Although there was a near miss in the end, if something went wrong, the consequences would be disastrous.
"Since this happened, does the promise Cheng Dalei promised us still count?"
Li Xingzai thought for a while and said: "It is said that Cheng Dalei didn't know about this matter. If he hadn't arrived in time in the end, I wouldn't have been able to escape. As for whether the promise counts, I can't say now..."
Li Xingzai's worry was not unnecessary. He had been worried about it for the past few days, but a few days later, a letter came from Lingchuan City:
