The three parties worked together at all costs. Xiao Changying brought a lot of people with him, but they were all killed in the Qiang River area. He even had to flee with people disguised as Bu Shulin, just to buy more time for Bu Shulin to enter Tubo.
The last time he suffered such a sleepless pursuit was when he first met Shen Xihe four years ago. At that time, he was exhausted, wounded, and barely holding on for a breath. If Shen Xihe had not appeared that day, he probably would not have waited for the people sent by his brother.
Lying in a messy pile of grass, under the cover of night and lush green mountains and forests, Xiao Changying took out a sachet. This sachet was one of the sachets that Bu Shulin had stuffed into his hands before they parted.
Although it was given to him by Bu Shulin, Xiao Changying knew that these were probably life-saving items prepared by Shen Xihe for Bu Shulin. Holding the sachet, Xiao Changying couldn't help but smile a little, and the blood stains on his face seemed to be a little cleaner.
He admired Shen Xihe. He didn't know how this sachet was concocted, but it not only made snakes, insects, rats, ants and large beasts avoid it, but also could cover up the bloody smell on the body. What's more amazing was that the fragrance was very clear and natural, as if it blended into the mountains and wild flowers.
"Your Highness, they are chasing us." The person pretending to be Bu Shulin was actually the person Bu Shulin asked Yinshan to bring. Now only he and Xiao Changying were alive, and even Yinshan had already...
If he hadn't been pretending to be Bu Shulin and Xiao Changying hadn't protected him all the way in order to deceive his pursuers, he would have been in great danger.
As if he didn't hear his reminder, Xiao Changying turned over and lay on his back, holding the sachet and hanging it in front of his nose. He took a deep breath, his eyes suddenly changed, and his hand moved. A sharp arrow whizzed past and hit the root of the tree opposite with a thud.
Immediately afterwards, rows of dense arrows came flying at him. Xiao Changying rolled over and rolled down the slope of the grass. This was the best position he had found. From this position, he could slide into a mountain stream. The water in the mountain stream was quite turbulent, and there was a waterfall hanging above. Once he fell into the water, he could float down with the water.
As for Bu Shulin's people, he naturally would not protect them anymore. He had already done his best to delay Bu Shulin until this time.
Everything went smoothly according to his plan, but Xiao Changying never expected that when he floated downstream and fell into the river, there was already someone waiting there with a shining knife.
"Master Jiu, you really kept us waiting." The leader had a scar on his face, but he was not wearing a mask.
"It turns out to be General Qian. Eighth brother is really a good man." Xiao Changying recognized the man. He used to be very brave. His father and brother were both soldiers. However, his father died on the battlefield because he misjudged the military situation, and his brother also died with him.
He was the only one left in the Qian family. He was ostracized in the military camp. He got into a conflict with someone because of the slander against his father and brother. He accidentally killed the person and was sentenced to exile. However, he escaped during the exile and has not been safe since then.
There are many people like this who left the army in anger but turned out to be very skilled. Xiao Changying is now in charge of the training of the Capital Guard and has some understanding of these people. He took a quick glance at the people behind him and saw that they were all well-trained people, much better than his second brother's subordinates who were all mixed up.
