At this time, these soldiers of the Earth Kingdom were not aware of the approaching danger at all, and were still busy, until one of them suddenly exclaimed, "Oh, no, there is a wolf, run away."
These people looked up and saw the wolf coming in the distance, but they dispersed in a hurry. The one who skinned the wolf hadn't finished skinning it, but the one who cut off the wolf's head actually cut off the wolf's head. He ran forward with the wolf's head, which attracted the wolves to follow him. Finally, before these people could run out of the woods, they were overtaken by the wolf.
Fortunately, these people were very experienced. When they saw that they could not outrun the wolf, they immediately gathered together back to back and were on full alert.
At this time, outside, Yelu Chuang also led a team and came over.
As soon as he saw a wolf, he waved his hand, and the soldiers behind him immediately showed their weapons and rushed over.
Hundreds of people faced a dozen wolves, so they naturally gained an advantage.
These wolves were obviously very smart. Instead of continuing forward, they turned around and fled back. Yelu Chuang smiled as he watched the wolves walk away.
"Okay, there's no need to go in and search this forest. With these wolves around, Liu Rumei doesn't dare to stay here."
After speaking, he waved his hand and led the people to continue walking forward.
Watching the mighty team moving forward on the official road in the distance, Liu Rumei let out a long sigh of relief. .
At this time, Xiao Qing next to her asked, "Miss, what should we do next?"
Yeah, what next?
Liu Rumei began to think hard in her mind. There were open areas along the road, and there were not many places to hide. Moreover, the enemy had already begun a large-scale search, and it was too dangerous to move during the day.
After a brief thought, Liu Rumei made up her mind. She pointed in the direction she came from, "Now we have only one way, to return to the other side of Xiaoqing River."
Xiaoqing was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Miss, how can this be possible? We finally ran out, how can we go back?"
"We left our horses behind, and there are dead wolves here again. The other party can easily tell that we have crossed the Xiaoqing River. They will definitely pursue us and search carefully. We can't run fast without horses, and it's difficult to get there. They go ahead."
"If they search for a while and cannot find us, they will definitely let down their guard again. Then we can take the opportunity to return home."
After listening to Liu Rumei's words, Zheng Zhun next to him also gave a thumbs up, "Miss is right, the enemy will definitely launch a search in this area. We hid on the other side of the river to avoid the enemy's search. I know that Li Xiao There is a ruined temple about two hundred miles away from Qinghe. The location of the temple is relatively hidden. We can go there to take shelter temporarily in a barren mountain."
After discussing the countermeasures, Liu Rumei led everyone to quietly evacuate from the woods.
Everything went as he wished. When they returned to Xiaoqing River, there was not a single soldier on both sides of the river. This had to be said to be Yelu Chuang's great negligence.
Liu Rumei led everyone away from Xiaoqing River, and after walking four or five miles forward, she saw in the distance that the sky was blocking out the sun, dust was rising, and another large group of people was coming.
Fortunately, there was a small mound on the roadside. Everyone hid behind the small mound and waited patiently for the large group of people to pass by.
It will really take a while for tens of thousands of troops to pass.
After waiting for a full hour, the team was finally over.
But Liu Rumei also found that she could not leave for the time being.
Because the soldiers in the distance were spreading out in all directions, it seemed that they were setting up defenses along the Xiaoqing River.
Seeing this scene, Xiao Qing let out a long breath and said, "It's so dangerous. If we wait any longer, we won't be able to get through."
It was Prince Jonah who led the team. He and his people did not dare to stop for a moment. They ran all night and all morning and finally arrived at the Xiaoqing River.
While Jonah ordered people to set up defenses along the Xiaoqing River, he also sent people to the other side to look for Yelu Chuang to see what was going on.
While he was busy here, Liu Rumei and others in the distance suffered. They were hiding in the dark in this cold day and neither dared to move nor move.
In this wilderness, no matter how thickly you dress and stay motionless for half a day, you will still be freezing.
Fortunately, it got dark early at this time, and Liu Rumei waited until it was completely dark before quietly ordering a retreat, and led by Zheng Zhun to explore the ruined temple.
At this time, Liu Rumei didn't know that a large-scale manhunt had begun across the Xiaoqing River. According to Jopson's arrangement, he went from house to house looking for people who had recently arrived in Dacang.
At this time in Wannian City.
There is still an endless stream of foreign merchants coming and going. Although it is winter, it is obvious that this does not stop the merchants' enthusiasm to make money. Of course, it is not just merchants who come.
As night fell, another caravan came. They wore exotic clothes and drove ox carts. They entered Wannian City in a hurry. Wannian City had a place specially designed for foreigners to live.
These are not ordinary businessmen. They are the Black Wolf Guards from the Earth Kingdom. They came to Wannian City on the orders of Prince Jonah to carry out an assassination mission.
At this time, Wannian City was completely unprepared for this.
Both the officials and the people were still immersed in the joy of defeating the big country.
That night, Chen Xiaobei was already drowsy when he suddenly heard a fight outside, followed by shouts and screams in the yard.
Then Liu Tie and Liu Ce rushed into Chen Xiaobei's room and said loudly, "Brother Xiaobei, be careful of assassins."
Chen Xiaobei was also shocked when he heard that there was an assassin.
"Brother Xiaobei, don't be afraid, we two will protect you."
After a while, the sound of fighting outside stopped, and then the voice of the Lotus Leader came, "Those little thieves dare to come and assassinate us."
This meant that the fighting outside was over, and Chen Xiaobei walked out.
In the yard, there were more than a dozen men in black lying in various directions.
Liu Kai held a torch and came forward to lift the mask of a person. He took a look and felt horrified in his heart, "This is a person from the Great Earth Kingdom."
At this time, Liu Xiangnan also walked out. Hearing Liu Kai's words, he came forward to look at him for a while, and suddenly said to Liu Kai, "Look at his left arm."
Liu Kai took a knife and opened the man's clothes. There was an eye-catching wolf head tattoo on his left arm.
"This is the Black Wolf Guard of the Great Earth Kingdom."
Liu Xiangnan frowned, and he suddenly raised his eyes to look at Shen Ziyan and the Lotus Cult Master.
"A few days ago, you two said that you had killed many of their senior officials in the Great Earth Kingdom, right?"
The leader of the Lotus Church nodded, "Yes, yes, their national masters were slaughtered by us."
At this time, Liu Kai, who was next to him, suddenly came back to his senses and said, "Master, you are saying that the Great Earth Kingdom has begun to take revenge."
Liu Xiangnan nodded, "Thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi. We can't always eat meat. I'm afraid we won't be able to hide when we deserve to be beaten."
"Master, then I will send a letter to each house." Liu Kai answered hurriedly.
Liu Xiangnan shook his head, "Send more people out. Go to the Prince's Mansion immediately and tell His Highness the matter."
