Yan Mu tugged on her skirt and saw Liu Yunxiang laughing non-stop, so she simply walked to the mirror and took a look.
"It is indeed beautiful. No man would be so fascinated by me when he sees me."
Vice General Li stood nearby and scratched the back of his head in embarrassment.
"However, since you are on the run, you still have to be a little embarrassed."
Liu Yunxiang nodded. She had already prepared the muddy water. She first wiped some muddy water on her own face, and then on Yan Mu and Zijin's faces. Their clothes were dirty and their hair was torn.
"feasible?"
Yan Mu nodded, "Even with piercing eyes, I can't see Madam's beautiful face."
Liu Yunxiang smiled, "It seems that my husband needs to apply more."
"No, I'm almost turning into a clay figure."
After a few jokes, everyone felt a lot more relaxed. Lieutenant General Li led them out of the miasma forest and onto the official road. From a distance, he saw a group of Southern Jin cavalry catching a few escaped women and dragging them south.
"Your Highness, these Southern Jin people are cruel and cruel, you..." Vice General Li was a little worried.

"No problem, remember what I told you."
"yes."
Lieutenant General Li hid in the woods, and Yan Mu and the other two men pretended to be panicked and ran forward. Sure enough, the Southern Jin people saw them, and two of them chased after them on horseback.
"Stop! If you run again, I'll cut off your legs!"
Soon the two men caught up with them, and they stopped running and huddled in place. The two men rode horses in circles around them, cracking their whips from time to time in order to intimidate them.
After waiting for a while, the people behind followed.
Their hands were tied, and one person pulled the rope and merged into other captured women. Yan Mu and Zijin looked at each other while guarding Liu Yunxiang.
The women who were arrested were all young, the youngest was in their teens. They were in embarrassed shapes and were running staggeringly.
The teenage girl was very thin and struggled to run. She accidentally slipped her foot and fell to the ground, and was dragged forward. The person pulling her in front saw it and did not stop. Instead, he smiled cruelly.
Yan Mu grabbed the little girl while the man wasn't paying attention.
"Be careful!"
The little girl was stunned for a moment, and ran to say thank you to Yan Mu: "Thank you, sister,"
Yan Mu nodded at her, "Where is your family?"
When the little girl heard this, her eyes immediately turned red, "My father was driven out of the city, and my mother... my mother disappeared."
"Gone?"
"One day she went out to buy food and never came back."
Yan Mu wanted to ask more, but then a whip was thrown at him. He quickly raised the little girl to block it, and the whip hit his arm.
"Stop talking! Run faster!" The horseman in front shouted.
Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu worriedly, and Yan Mu shook his head at her.
We will soon be out of the woods, and not far away is the foot of Ling'an City.
But then a dozen people suddenly appeared, holding big swords, flying over and slashing at the Southern Jin people. It's just that these Southern Jin people are not vegetarians, and they can't lose even one against two.
These people were not willing to fight. After fighting with the Southern Jin people for a few rounds, they took the opportunity to cut off the ropes tied to the women.
"Run!"
Yan Mu and the others' ropes were also cut off, and they didn't know whether to run or not.
"What are you doing standing still? Why don't you run away!"
Before Yan Mu could react, he was pulled by the man in white and ran towards the nearby woods. He hurriedly went back to see Liu Yunxiang. She was protected by quilt, but she was fine.
Yan Mu was run into the woods by the man in white, and two Beijin cavalry chased him.
The man ran slower and slower, and Yan Mu discovered that his abdomen was injured and his face was pale due to blood loss. However, at this glance, he also recognized this man. He was the general who had rescued the refugees earlier. His surname was Wen, Wen Zhuqing.
Because he had a disagreement with Su Hui, he left the military camp with a dozen of his men and wandered around to rescue the refugees who were oppressed by the Southern Jin people.
Wen Zhuqing clutched her abdomen, staggered and almost fell down.
Yan Mu supported him and glanced back. The two Southern Jin cavalry were already very close.
"Run!" Wen Zhuqing also noticed it and pushed him hastily.
Yan Mu sighed slightly, and when the two cavalrymen caught up with them, he took the sword from Wen Zhuqing's hand and attacked them head on. The cavalry skills of the Southern Jin Dynasty were indeed good, but they were far from him, so even though it was one against two, they quickly dragged the two off their horses and killed them one by one.
He turned around again and saw Wen Zhuqing looking at him in surprise, "You, are you a man?"
Yan Mu put away his sword and walked towards Wen Zhuqing, "General Wen, instead of being a straggler and only able to save a few people, it is better to go back to the military camp and train the remaining 20,000 Bian Nan troops to have fun with the Southern Jin people in the near future. Kill quickly."
"You... who are you?" Wen Zhuqing saw Yan Mu holding his hands behind his back and looking majestic. When he thought of something else, his eyes suddenly widened, "You are the prince!"
Yan Mu nodded, "General Wen has a good eye."
"Then how could you be..." Wen Zhuqing paused again and looked at Yan Mu's attire again, "Were you deliberately caught by the Southern Jin people?"
"Well, before the peace talks, we plan to go into the city to explore the situation."
"I see." Wen Zhuqing hurriedly clasped his fists and saluted, "The general is stupid and ruined your plan."
At this time, the sound of horse hoofbeats came from a distance, and Yan Mu hurriedly told Wen Zhuqing, "General Wen, hurry back to the Biannan military camp. We still have a tough battle with the Southern Jin Dynasty!"
Wen Zhuqing clasped his fists and responded heavily: "General, I will obey your orders!"
The two separated, Yan Mu circled back to the official road, and was soon caught again. Because two cavalrymen died, the others were a little nervous and hurried to Ling'an City.
Yan Mu saw that the little girl was missing and asked Liu Yunxiang what happened.
"I asked Zijin to hide the little girl during the chaos. When we go far away, she will come out to find other homeless people."
"Um."
There was a delay on the way, but we still arrived at Ling'an City before dark.
There were soldiers from the Southern Jin Dynasty on top of the Ling'an City Gate, and the guards were very tight. When the gate opened, Liu Yunxiang and the others were dragged in. I was originally worried that after entering the city, they might be locked up without a chance to investigate. Fortunately, after they were dragged into the city gate, the Southern Jin people released them.
The other women quickly dispersed, and Liu Yunxiang and the others followed suit.
First hide in a dark alley, and then observe Ling'an City under the dusk.
The longest street in the city was actually brightly lit, and the shops on both sides were open, but there were no customers. The occasional people coming in and out were Southern Jin people wearing Southern Jin clothes.
As for ordinary houses, the doors are either closed or broken, the lights are out, and there is no one in the alley.
At this time, several drunken Southern Jin people came out of a wine shop. Although they were wearing regular clothes, one could tell at a glance that they were military officers. One of them came out with a young girl in his arms. The girl struggled desperately, but she could not withstand the strength of the man.
"Master, Master, please let my daughter go. You guys are holding these coins as a token of filial piety to you!"
The owner of the wine shop chased him out, bending down and clasping his hands to beg these people.
The man kicked the boss out and said, "I like your daughter. That's her blessing. Don't be ungrateful!"
