Yi Yunmu nodded, "Yes."
I will definitely not let him down!
Nan Xuzong's gaze was indifferent, and it was impossible to tell what he was thinking. However, he twirled the gold thread in his hand. Although he was bent over under the chair, his gaze was calm, and his elegance could not be concealed in the slightest.
Mulls was in his residence when his secret guards reported that Yiyun had gone to the city. Mulls waved for the guards to leave. At that moment, strategist Li stepped forward and said, "General."
"explain."
"The secret room has been blown open, but the people are gone, and the entrance is sealed off; there's no way to find the exit!" Strategist Li looked at him. "General, what should we do?"
"This person is indeed formidable! However, I suspect these people are heading towards the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty, so we must immediately be on high alert and defend the city gates!"
"General, I deployed defenses at the city gates yesterday, but I don't know if they will actually go there!"
“Definitely! The longer they drag it out, the worse it will be for the princess and her husband’s condition! Quick, come with me to the city gate!” Murs immediately stepped out.
At this moment, Yi Yunmu Chen's carriage was already heading towards the city gate, but there were also some people leaving the city ahead of them. The purpose of leaving the country was simply to make a living abroad. Originally, since the two countries signed the alliance treaty a year ago, they had already had economic exchanges, and the checkpoints weren't strictly enforced. However, with the departure of the prince consort and princess, Murs naturally ordered stricter guarding of the city gate leading out of the city!
Yi Yun Muchen didn't know if her face was alright. Before leaving, Nan Xuzong brought out a mask from somewhere. Yi Yun Muchen had never seen one before, and even Bei Gong Jueshi was surprised when he saw it.
After putting on this veneer mask, Yi Yun Muchen transformed into a completely different young lady. She only hoped to leave the country safely!
The carriage clattered and clattered forward.
Nan Xuzong glanced at the time outside the window and saw that midday was approaching, yet the area ahead remained almost completely still! At this rate, they would definitely be discovered!
Nan Xuzong thought for a moment, then lowered his voice and said, "Luosheng, go and give them some things to do!"
The guard driving the carriage nodded immediately upon hearing this, "Yes, sir!" He handed the rope to Gong Shu, who nodded in agreement. Luo Sheng then immediately got off the carriage and slipped into a small alley.
Waiting is an anxious thing.
The person in front finally moved.
Gong Shu harnessed the horse tightly and drove the carriage forward.
At this moment, a general-looking man in full armor walked out, his sharp eyes intently watching the people leaving the country. His gaze then focused on the carriage driven by Gong Shu.
General Hao frowned, scrutinizing him closely. Gong Shu also sensed someone looking their way and immediately pretended to be a coachman. However, just then, they suddenly heard a commotion not far away; chickens were running and dogs were barking in the alley.
"They're hitting people! They're hitting people! Help!"
"Help! Help!"
"I'll beat you to death, I'll beat you to death, you bastard! See if you owe me money!"
...
General Hao immediately called for his men, "Quickly, you all, go and take a look!" Immediately, about ten soldiers rushed towards the alley.
The people ahead had already left, and it was Gong Shu's turn to drive the carriage up.
"Who's inside?" This was pure Western Regions language, which Gong Shu naturally couldn't understand.
"I am the youngest daughter of the Li family from Da Luo Village outside the city. I was ordered by my father to go out and collect some medicinal herbs," Yi Yun Muchen said in a delicate and weak voice.
There is indeed a Li family in Da Luo Village who specializes in procuring medicinal herbs from the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty; people far and wide know about them.
The soldier nodded. "Why can't you, this servant, speak properly!"
“It’s like this, this is a mute, he only recently came to our house as a stable boy.” Yi Yun Muchen said seriously, “Then can we let him through? If Father sees that I can’t bring back the medicinal herbs on time, he’ll probably give me a good scolding.”
"Okay, let's go!" The soldier nodded. The people of the Western Regions were all straightforward and wouldn't make things difficult for their own people.
"Wait!" Gong Shu was just about to drive the carriage when he heard a loud voice.
Upon hearing the voice, Yi Yun Muchen was startled. This person must be Hao Yueyi, one of his brother's top generals. Hao Yueyi was strong and powerful, with a booming voice and immense strength. He was always at the forefront of the battle and was a trusted general of Yi Yun Shangcheng!
"Who is in the carriage?" Hao Yueyi stepped forward, his thick eyebrows furrowed. "Open the curtain!"
"I am Li Xiaosi, the youngest daughter of the Li family in Da Luo Village outside the city," Yi Yun Muchen said, trying to remain calm.
"I don't care who you are, open it!" Hao Yueyi stared inside. How could the carriage wheels be stuck so deep! If it were a young lady and a coachman, the wheels should be very shallow. There must be something shady going on in this carriage!
Yi Yun Muchen lifted the curtain and met Hao Yueyi's big eyes.
Hao Yueyi was a rough and uncultured man who was only concerned with fighting behind Yiyun Shangcheng. He didn't even have time to get intimate with a woman before he started living in the military camp.
Now, being stared at like that by Yi Yun Muchen, Hao Yueyi blushed slightly. After thinking it over and over again, Hao Yueyi stared at the seat for a long time. The breeze carrying Yi Yun Muchen's fragrance made Hao Yueyi blush even more. "Alright, let go!"
Yi Yunmu Chen broke out in a cold sweat and quickly pulled the curtain down.
Meanwhile, Bei Gong Jue Shi, who was standing on the base, loosened his fist, while Nan Xu Cong remained expressionless.
Just as the carriage passed through the city gate, a loud shout was heard from afar, "Don't let that carriage pass!"
Yi Yunmu and the others were shocked. Gong Shu suddenly cracked his whip, and the carriage sped forward!
Bei Gong Jue Shi climbed up, and Yi Yun Muchen sat on the other side. Fortunately, the carriage was big enough! Bei Gong Jue Shi pulled Nan Xu Cong up with one hand and made him sit on the side.
Nan Xuzong tied the gold thread to the horse's back, and immediately, the horse neighed and galloped towards the city gate!
Hao Yueyi was surprised and immediately led his troops to give chase! Hearing that shout just now, it was Murs's voice, so Hao Yueyi guessed that it must be Princess Muchen and her husband's carriage leaving the city!
No wonder the wheels were stuck so deep!
Moore rode his horse at incredible speed, instantly breaking through the slump and heading towards the galloping carriage.
Yi Yun Muchen turned his head and looked at Murs and Hao Yueyi who were chasing after him. If these two generals joined forces, he wondered if Beigong Jueshi and Nan Xuzong would be enough to defeat them. However, the soldiers they brought were all the most elite soldiers in the Western Regions. If they came together, the chances of victory were uncertain!
"Don't worry!" Bei Gong Jue Shi comforted them. "Even if they catch up, they might not be able to defeat us! This is a forest, so it won't be easy for them to engage in a full-scale battle!"
Nan Xuzong turned his head, looked at Muers and Hao Yueyi chasing after him, and then looked at his two horses galloping away.
Just as Jin Si was about to leave, she heard Yi Yun Muchen say anxiously, "Don't kill them!"
Bei Gong Jue Shi and Nan Xu Cong frowned almost simultaneously.
"I...I don't want to see them die!" Seeing their murderous gazes, Yi Yun Muchen had no choice but to explain, "I have a sleeping potion that can keep them from following!" As he spoke, he took out a small bottle from his person, climbed through the window, opened the bottle, and poured it on the people behind him!
Instantly, the powder was blown by the wind towards those people. Breathing in the air mixed with the sleeping drug, several of the soldiers led by Murs cried out and fell to the ground, dropping from their horses.
Murston immediately covered his nostrils and looked at Hao Yueyi next to him. Hao Yueyi also ordered his people to cover their mouths and noses.
In this way, they have fallen far behind.
"Flank from both flanks!" Moore glanced around and said to his close friend. Hao Yueyi nodded, "Follow me!"
Instantly, the forces were divided in two.
Bei Gong Jue Shi pulled Yi Yun Muchen back and made her sit down. "We'll take care of the rest. You don't need to worry about it!"
Nan Xuzong remained silent, turned around, and prepared to unleash the golden silk scroll at any moment. "Peerless, you must not make a move unless absolutely necessary!"
"What?" Bei Gong Jue Shi exclaimed in surprise, "What do you mean?"
"You must not be angry!" Nan Xuzong didn't explain much, his eyes fixed on what was behind him.
No one knew how long his golden thread was, but as soon as they got close, Nan Xuzong's golden thread rolled out and struck the soldiers' pressure points, causing them to fall from their horses and cry out in pain.
Nan Xuzong did not kill them.
Bei Gong Jue Shi kept his power gathering, and he listened to Nan Xu Cong's words and did not make a move casually.
But I still don't quite understand it.
They had already walked halfway through the woods when they heard the sound of horses' hooves ahead! Nan Xuzong frowned, his gaze drifting towards Beigong Jueshi, who simply smiled, "If you don't catch up, I'll be disappointed!"
☆、166 Striking at the concubine, a disguised power grab!
Gong Shu frowned deeply, his hand gripping the rope tightly. Sometime later, he had pulled out a dagger and was biting it with his teeth.
The troops that appeared ahead were Hao Yueyi's men. Yi Yunmu and the others were greatly surprised.
There must be some shortcut involved, otherwise they wouldn't have caught up so quickly!
At this moment, Hao Yueyi and Murs, who had caught up, surrounded Nan Xuzong and his men's horses with their troops.
"You have no way to escape! Get off the carriage now! Hand over the prince consort and the princess, and I will spare your lives!" Murs reined in his horse and shouted coldly.
Nan Xuzong smiled, and Beigong Jueshi, seeing Nan Xuzong's rare smile, also laughed heartily.
Suddenly, two men burst into laughter from inside the carriage!
The people around looked at each other in surprise. How could they still laugh when they were surrounded so tightly?
Do these people really not care about life or death?
Mulls was slightly surprised. This man's laughter... made it impossible to tell the depth of his martial arts skills! It was completely different from the laughter of the prince consort behind him!
What kind of opponent was that?
While he was pondering, the laughter suddenly stopped! Two golden threads suddenly attacked Murs!
Moore was shocked and immediately used his Vajra Blade to block. With a "whoosh," Moore felt a numbness and was immediately forced to retreat! The horse also retreated sharply.
Moores reined in his horse, and the golden thread was already wrapped around it, pulling out and retracting in an instant!
"General!" Soldiers immediately surrounded him, and Hao Yueyi exclaimed in surprise, "General Mu!"
"It's nothing. Who's inside the car? May I see them?" Moores raised his hand to signal people to step back, and Hao Yueyi also stopped. The person inside was unfathomable; he didn't know who they were!
Nan Xuzong was slightly surprised that this general could actually speak the language of the Great Xia Zhou Dynasty!
"Please send the princess and her consort back! His Majesty instructed me to take good care of them!" Murs raised his voice. "Guards, bring them in!" Since he wasn't going to speak, then he shouldn't be blamed!
Yi Yun Muchen was a little nervous. Bei Gong Jue Shi looked at her and said, "You better hide well!" After saying that, he gently stroked her lips, "Don't be afraid." The next second, he flew out of the carriage, like a god, and stood in front of the carriage, holding a sharp sword in his hand.
His naturally red eyes turned bloodshot. Nan Xuzong looked at him through the curtain and sighed inwardly, thinking that this was probably truly beyond saving!
If he hadn't made a move, he and Gong Shu might not have been able to defeat so many of them!
Nan Xuzong tightened his golden silk. He had just tested Mullers's skills, and Mullers was able to withstand his golden silk, which meant that this general was indeed quite capable! He should not be underestimated!
At this moment, the soldiers surrounded him. The soft sword in Beigong Jueshi's hand became a deadly tool. His face remained expressionless, yet he could kill anyone who approached him!
Yi Yun Muchen closed his eyes and covered his ears, not wanting to hear or see. These were his people, his soldiers, both sides were his people! And yet they were fighting!
Seeing her pain, Nan Xuzong sighed, freed his left hand, and remotely pressed her pressure point to put her to sleep, causing her to lie down in the chair. Only in this way could she avoid too much pain!
Nan Xuzong's two golden threads seemed to come alive, splitting into thousands of strands. Anyone who tried to approach the carriage would be struck to the ground by these split golden threads. Muers saw that the situation was not right, while Beigong Jueshi was fighting a group of soldiers. Because the Mu family army he trained was carefully selected, the soldiers' siege was still able to entangle Beigong Jueshi for a while.
Mulls nodded to Hao Yueyi, and the two immediately attacked the golden thread! Nan Xuzong listened to the sound of the wind, and immediately took out a small bottle from his pocket, opened it, and splashed it in the direction the golden thread was being thrown. Instantly, the golden thread turned from gold to fiery red!
