Xiao Qing was surprised when he heard this, "Miss, I think this Hufa is honest and loyal. He won't report to the official. Besides, you also said at that time that if he dared to report to the official, his whole family would be killed."
Liu Rumei sighed, "Well, let's just say that if this Hafa didn't report to the official, Hei Niu died in his home, he couldn't explain it at all. Therefore, only by reporting to the official, he can clear away the suspicion."
After listening to Liu Rumei's analysis, Xiao Qing nodded.
"The lady is right, that matter should not be delayed, let's run away quickly."
The two of them discussed for a while, not daring to stay any longer, and rushed towards the Xiaoqing River.
They ran until midnight, still a hundred miles away from the Xiaoqing River. The two of them couldn't bear it anymore, and the horses couldn't bear it either. It was too cold at night.
The horse was trembling all over and refused to move forward. Liu Rumei and Xiao Qing had no choice but to find a leeward place to stop, light a fire, and let the horses warm up first.
After baking for a while, the two didn't want to leave. They started working since they got up in the morning and cooked for the Hafa family at noon.
In the afternoon, they started running wildly again. After all the hard work, the two of them were tired.
Xiao Qing felt that her eyelids were heavy, and she couldn't help but said, "Miss, how about we rest here and wait until dawn before leaving."
Liu Rumei shook her head, "No, we must not stop. We still don't know what the result will be tomorrow. You can rest here while I look around."
Liu Rumei stood up and walked around carefully, then turned around and saw that Xiao Qing had fallen asleep.
Two horses gnawed dry bark nearby.
Seeing this, Liu Rumei thought. He and Xiaoqing were full, but the two horses hadn't eaten much yet.
Thinking of this, the restaurant didn't take the accessories. This was the one with the iron head that was chopped to death.
Liu Rumei waved her sword, chopped some hay and brought it back to feed the two horses. Let them eat some grass, and then open their own water bottles and sprinkle some water on the hay, so that the horses can drink.
Seeing Xiao Qing sleeping soundly, Liu Rumei was a little hesitant about whether to rest more.
About half an hour later, Liu Rumei suddenly felt something was wrong. When she looked up, she saw a large fire in the sky in the distance.
This piece of fire is winding towards me. Oh no, this is a torch. A large number of people are coming this way.
Liu Rumei felt anxious and stepped forward to push Xiao Qing.
"Hurry up and get ready, we have to leave."
Xiao Qing rubbed her sleepy eyes and looked in the direction of Liu Rumei's finger. She was so frightened that her brain buzzed and she woke up instantly.
Liu Rumei got some sand from the side and covered the fire, then she and Xiao Qing flew on their horses and drove away.
The leader of the team was Yelu Chuang. His camp was closest to Xiaoqing River, so he came the fastest.
While running back and forth, Yelu Chuang suddenly reined in his horse. He thought thoughtfully, "Where we passed just now, was there something smoking on the roadside?"
Someone on the side immediately ran away and came back to report, "There is a fire next to the general. It has not yet burned out. It has been covered with sand. It looks like he just left."
Hearing this, Yelu Chuang laughed and said, "Maybe it's Liu Rumei who escaped. Chase him quickly."
Yelu Chuang led his men to beat the horses like flying and continued to move forward.
But here, Liu Rumei and Xiao Qing ran all the way, hurrying and slowly, and finally when a little light appeared on the horizon, the two of them approached the Xiaoqing River.
With the bright light from the sky, we could see the mist rising in front of us, the clouds rising, and the Xiaoqing River finally approaching.
Seeing Xiao Qinghe right in front of them, Liu Rumei and Xiao Qing breathed a sigh of relief and waved their riding whips again.
But at this moment, Liu Rumei suddenly felt the war horse under her body leaning forward.
Liu Rumei thought to herself that it was not good, she kicked her feet hard, her body rose into the air, and then she rolled back.
Xiao Qing's reaction over there was a little slower, and he was knocked to the ground by the war horse.
There was actually a tripping rope on the ground, and several figures appeared on both sides.
Then someone shouted, "Brothers, don't hurt the horses."
Hearing this shout, Liu Rumei frowned. It was the accent of Dacang Country. Before he could think of it, someone had already put a knife to Xiao Qing's neck.
Liu Rumei thought about it and shouted hurriedly, "Don't do anything, we are also from Dacang Kingdom."
Sure enough, Liu Rumei's words were still useful. The black shadows stopped moving, and someone came up to take a closer look at Xiao Qing's appearance.
"As expected, he is from Dacang Kingdom."
After hearing these words, Xiao Qing came back to her senses and glanced at the short sword in the opponent's hand. It was the standard equipment of the soldiers of the Dacang Kingdom. She quickly said, "I am Liu Rumei, Miss Liu's maid. Qing, don’t you recognize me?”
Someone next to me came up, took a closer look, and then exclaimed, "Yes, that's right, it's Miss Xiao Qing."
The person next to him put away his sword and helped Xiaoqing up from the ground.
Xiao Qing straightened her clothes and pointed at Liu Rumei in the distance, "Miss is over there."
In the darkness, these people suddenly knelt on the ground in unison and shouted loudly to Liu Rumei, "Meet Miss Liu."
Hearing this, Liu Rumei also understood that these people who came were all his subordinates.
Thinking of this, he took a few steps, helped them up one by one, and then asked impatiently, "Which part are you in? Where are the others?"
The leader bowed and said, "Miss Liu, my name is Zheng Zhun."
"When we retreat that day, you go to the left and we follow to the right."
"The enemy kept a close eye on us, so we had no choice but to spread out and hide. I took several of my brothers to hide in Tibet. Two days ago, we robbed a lone carriage. This carriage was delivering military rations to the Great Earth Kingdom. , then we learned that all the soldiers guarding the Xiaoqing River had withdrawn, so we hurried here to prepare to return home."
"Hearing the sound of horse hooves, our brothers thought it would be faster to get two horses, so we had no choice but to attack Miss Liu."
After listening to Zheng Zhun's explanation, Liu Rumei also sighed, her army was reduced to pieces and there were many more like Zheng Zhun.
And if the enemy encircles Xiaoqinghe again this time, their lives may become difficult. I don’t know how many of them have returned home.
At this moment, someone suddenly shouted, "Look, someone is coming over there."
Liu Rumei raised her eyes and looked over, and the fire dragon appeared again in the distance.
Liu Rumei secretly thought it was not good and said to these people, "Xiao Qing and I killed someone to escape. I'm afraid the pursuers have arrived, so we have to leave quickly."
Several people stepped forward to pull up the horses, but then they discovered that the two horses were lying on the ground and refused to get up. They must have been very tired.
Liu Rumei stamped her foot, "Don't worry, let's cross the river first and find a place to hide after crossing the river."
