On the mountain road leading to the Northland, dozens of horses galloped and hurried.
The leader was none other than Shi Qingxue, whom the internal guards could not find!
Wei Zichao, whose head was cut off at the end, suddenly sped up and rushed to the middle, saying urgently: "Prince Concubine, things may be bad. There are soldiers chasing behind."
Shi Qingxue was now wearing a military uniform, carrying a bow and arrow on his back, and a scimitar on his waist. When Wei Zichao reported the situation, the speed of his horse did not slow down.
He said calmly: "They are not fools. It's time to find out by now. How are Second Sister and the others doing?"
"The news just came that Princess An, Concubine Qi and others have escaped safely."
Shi Qingxue nodded, with no fear on his face, "Okay! Let's pick a secret place in front and play with them first!"
The internal guards also had experts in searching, and their skills in identifying the location by listening to voices were top-notch. Although they chased for two or three hours and failed to catch up with the criminal, they still kept pursuing him.
When they reached a fork in the road, the detective who was leading the way suddenly stopped his horse.
"Hush!"
The people behind them pulled on the reins one after another to avoid a series of collisions.
Mo You was also forced to stop and glared at Tan Bing with an unhappy look on his face, "What the hell are you doing? Weren't we asking you to chase people? Why are you stopping here?"
The detective also looked aggrieved and said tangledly: "It's not that I was delaying on purpose. In fact, the sound stopped here. I was not sure where they went for a while."
By this time, the sky had gradually dimmed and there was no sound. It was difficult to tell which road the person in front had taken just by looking at the tread marks left by the horse!
"Damn it!" Mo You cursed, and then shouted to his inner guards: "Get off your horses and search for me. You must find the road as soon as possible, otherwise you will chase me in two groups!"
"Here!"
The internal guards were forced to stop, dismounted and looked around for clues.
Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, and the detective looked calm and shouted: "No, there is an ambush!"
However, before the inner guards could react, a rain of sharp arrows flew out from the woods on both sides.
The outermost inner guard was not careful and was almost shot into a hedgehog.
But after all, these people were not sheltered, and they quickly reacted and quickly found shelter.
As soon as the rain of arrows stopped, the inner guards drew their swords and chased into the woods.
Mo You saw Shi Qingxue's hiding place at a glance and couldn't help laughing loudly: "Shi Qingxue, let me see where you are running away? Do you think I really only have these dozens of people? Just take a look later!"
On the way they came, they suddenly saw more than a hundred people wearing the same inner guard uniforms, riding horses, with bright swords in their hands.
Mo You was so proud that he directed the inner guards behind him to chase after him.
With the strength of the crowd, the situation suddenly reversed.
Wei Zichao was very powerful, but he didn't dare to let go and rush forward to kill the enemy. He could only keep protecting Shi Qingxue and retreat.
Shi Qingxue was not idle at this time. He controlled the bow and arrow in his hand and kept shooting sharp arrows.
Qingxue's archery skills are definitely top-notch, but she can't stand up to the enemy's tactics of overwhelming a crowd of people!
They could only be forced to retreat again and again, and were soon surrounded by the inner guards who caught up later.
Wei Zichao held the sword in his right hand and fiercely killed all the internal guards who were close to Shi Qingxue.
But it was obviously not enough for him to be fierce on his own, so he had to get closer to Shi Qingxue and asked hurriedly: "Prince Concubine, there are too many of them. Follow your subordinates closely, and they will lead you to break out!"
Shi Qingxue was reluctant to leave, "What will happen to your people when we leave?"
Wei Zichao killed another inner guard with another sword, "The task of all of us is to ensure your safety. As long as you are still alive, we will not be considered a failure. Please put the overall situation first!"
Shi Qingxue was still working hard to kill the enemy, and her eyes became more determined.
"No, everyone is the same, we have to leave together! They want to capture me alive now, so they don't hold on tight. As soon as I leave, they will definitely come up and those who stay here will have no chance of survival!"
Even if Shi Qingxue died, she would never let her subordinates be wiped out just for her alone!
Wei Zichao didn't expect Shi Qingxue to be so stubborn. Although he knew that it was very likely that the other party would think about the problem, the situation was urgent and he couldn't think about it so much.
He has only one purpose - Shi Qingxue must live!
Everything else can be sacrificed.
In his desperation, Wei Zichao wanted to attack Shi Qingxue directly, but the latter seemed to have expected it and ducked Wei Zichao's hand in a low voice.
He said in a deep voice: "Zi Chao, if you have time to advise me, why not kill two more people? Our chances of escaping will be greater."
Wei Zichao's expression was gloomy, but he had no choice but to bite the bullet and continue to kill Shi Qingxue.
The inner guard's offensive became more and more fierce, and Wei Zichao was somewhat unable to do what he wanted.
He glanced at the man who was still working hard on pulling the bow and arrow, and a flash of emotion flashed in his eyes.
Then, without Qingxue noticing at all, he quickly moved behind Qingxue and gently pinched the back of Qingxue's neck with two fingers.
Shi Qingxue's eyes darkened, her body softened, and she fell into Wei Zichao's arms.
The few people closest to them spontaneously surrounded the two of them upon seeing this, and one of them said directly: "Boss, we will cover, you take the Crown Princess and leave first!"
Wei Zichao glanced seriously at his brothers who were still fighting the enemy bravely, nodded solemnly, and then carried Qingxue behind him.
Just when he was about to jump out of the encirclement and take the first step, a whistle suddenly echoed through the entire forest.
Immediately afterwards, there was the noise of thousands of horses galloping, as if there were thousands of troops approaching from far away.
Both sides were stunned, stopped holding their swords, and turned to look at the source of the sound.
The original official road was noisy with people, and from time to time there was the neighing of horses. From a distance, people in official and military uniforms could be seen sitting on horses, looking over here.
"The people inside put down their weapons and come out, otherwise they will release arrows!"
Mo You was overjoyed when he heard this. He thought it was the Imperial Guards chasing after him. He was overjoyed and raised his hand in greeting, "Don't shoot arrows, we are one of our own!"
After saying that, he also raised his waist card.
Who would have thought that a sharp arrow was shot straight at him. Fortunately, Mo You dodged quickly and turned sideways, but due to his unstable center of gravity, he fell off the horse.
Several internal guards immediately came over and helped Mo You up, "Sir, are you okay?"
Mo You didn't expect this sudden sharp arrow, and he was thrown into a panic. He shouted angrily at the man: "Assholes! Don't you have eyes? Do you know who I am?"
The man came over with a horse, and laughed when he heard the sound, "Grandpa shot you, you idiot! The internal guards inside, please listen to grandpa! This is the Shi family army, please put down your weapons quickly and come out, and A chance to survive.
Otherwise, grandpa will kill you until you piss your ass off! "
As soon as these cruel words came out, the inner guard was shocked.
Mo You also recognized that the person shouting was none other than Wei Lin, the general of the Shi Family Army, and immediately shouted angrily: "Wei Lin, you secretly commanded the Shi Family Army to send troops. Could it be that you want to rebel!"
Wei Lin raised his eyebrows, laughed arrogantly, and then hummed in a voice that was so angry that he wouldn't pay for his life: "Isn't my grandpa's intention clear enough? Stop talking nonsense, and get out of here as soon as possible, otherwise I want you to have a good look at the reputation of the Shi family army!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the soldiers of the Shi Family Army behind him shouted in unison, making the sound shake the sky. They were not at the same level as the hundreds of internal guards just now.
The internal guards were originally timid of the reputation of the Shi family army, but now that they were frightened, their courage shrank even more.
Everyone looked hesitant and had no fighting spirit.
Someone was trembling with fear and asked Mo You, "S-Sir, my subordinates see that they are outnumbered, so let's withdraw first!"
"Get lost! Qingxue is right in front now. If we retreat now, won't all our previous efforts be wasted?"
How could Mo You be so willing!
But just as he finished speaking, another sharp arrow shot steadily into the tree trunk less than a foot away from him, startling him.
This time it was the general who came up from the city guard.
Wei Cheng was obviously calmer than Wei Lin, but his cold eyes and dark face were still very intimidating.
He stared at Mo You coldly and issued an ultimatum, "Mo You, today we just want to take away the head coach of the Shi family army, and we don't want to cause trouble. I advise you to put down your weapons and leave quickly, and don't make fearless sacrifices!"
"Yes! Mr. Mo, if we keep Qingshan alive, we won't be afraid of running out of firewood. Even if we resist hard, we won't be able to defeat their thousands of troops, let alone capture Shi Qingxue.
Why don't we retreat first, and it's not too late to gather manpower and fight again! "Zhang Yang's h and others also advised.
They are not the desperadoes like Shi Qingxue, who would rather die than surrender.
In a situation where the enemy is outnumbered and we are outnumbered, they should retreat first with the understanding!
Mo You's original determination to take Shi Qingxue back was shaken by your persuasion.
He turned to look at Shi Qingxue, who was firmly protected by Wei Zichao and the guards, and then turned to look at the massive Shi family army.
Finally, with a low curse, he led the remaining inner guards and left in disgrace.
After Wei Lin and Wei Cheng waited for the inner guards to completely go away, they ordered soldiers to guard the main road before they all dismounted and walked into the woods.
As he walked, he called Shi Qingxue's name.
"Miss, the last general Wei Lin and the soldiers of the Shi Family Army are here to rescue us. Please show up!"
The guards led by Wei Zichao had already taken advantage of the chaos to find a hiding place. Hearing this sound, someone quietly asked Wei Zichao: "Boss, now that the inner guard has left, do we want to go out?"
Wei Zichao shook his head and whispered: "Wait a minute and check the situation."
The man didn't know why, "It sounds like the people outside are the Shi family army. They must be here to save the princess. Why should we..."
Wei Zichao glared at him, "Did they just say they are the Shi family army? Who knows if it could be a trick by Ambassador Mo, wait a minute!"
Wei Zichao and others here have been reluctant to show up, and Wei Lin who was waiting outside was a little impatient and shouted angrily inside: "What the fuck! If you don't come out if you don't wait any longer, be careful I'll get burned." you!"
"Alin, watch your mouth, you're a young lady inside, you can't let yourself be so arrogant!" Wei Cheng cursed angrily.
Wei Lin was flabbergasted and said angrily: "Aren't I anxious? What's going on, Miss? Why didn't you come out even after hearing our shouting? Could it be that she was being held hostage?"
When Wei Lin thought of this possibility, he became anxious again. He really wanted to light a fire and burn the obstructive tree!
