"Quick! Chase them with all your might!"

"Wherever Kim Geon-in flees, we'll kill him! We'll make sure he has nowhere to escape!"

The crowd immediately struck the horse's belly and spurred it into a gallop.

The cavalrymen galloped through the streets like a storm, kicking up dust as the city's inhabitants kept their doors shut.

At that moment, the window of one of the houses was suddenly pushed open, and a loud shout was heard:

"I saw so many people running towards the south of the city!!!"

"They hadn't walked far!!!"

It was a boy, his face flushed red, who was roaring loudly.

At that moment, the galloping soldiers did not stop for a moment; they seemed not to have heard the boy's words.

After all, they were numerous, and the sound of horses' hooves was incessant.

But the boy was not disappointed at all; on the contrary, he was so excited that he almost jumped up.

This pursuing army is heading south of the city!

Just then, an old man walked in through the doorway and murmured:

"Child, what are you saying?"

The boy watched the soldiers and horses gallop past excitedly, almost leaning out of the window. He turned his head and said:

"Grandpa! So fast!"

"They attacked so fast!"

"Unstoppable, sweeping across the battlefield, I have never seen such a formidable army!"

"Those are the prince's troops! They're so strong! So powerful!"

"I want to be one of them! I want to join the army!"

As he spoke, his voice suddenly weakened, and a hint of disappointment appeared in his eyes as he looked at his chest and hands.

"But although I am tall, I am too thin and not very strong."

The old man shook his head. "Child, if you really have the determination and courage, being able to lift a kitchen knife is enough."

"To go into battle and kill the enemy, there is something more important than a strong body."

"Otherwise, having a strong body is not very useful."

The boy nodded as if he understood, and turned his face back to the window.

The cavalrymen, like a pack of wolves on a hunt, galloped past, leaving only a trail of dust in their wake.

——

Looking at the city's south gate so close at hand, Jin Jianren breathed a sigh of relief, but his brows remained furrowed.

He felt a stinging pain in his pierced palm, but he could bear it.

But now, there's no time to do anything more. The most important thing right now is to leave Huichang immediately!

"Giddy up!" With a loud shout, the group left the city gate.

Stepping outside the city, Kim Geon-in turned his head to look at Huichang, only to see a blood-red blur.

Although the bleeding from his brow bone had stopped, his eyes had been soaked in blood, which made him extremely uncomfortable. He took the water bag from the horse's back and tilted his head back to pour the water onto his face.

The cold water flowed over her face, and blood was everywhere, but what she saw in her eyes remained a hazy crimson.

"Damn it!" Jin Jianren rubbed his eyes and cursed through gritted teeth.

But at that moment, a soldier at the rear shouted, "General, move out of here!"

"The rebels appear to be in pursuit!"

Jin Jianren's expression froze, and a buzzing sound came from his mind.

How utterly incompetent! How long have they held out?!

But there was no time to think further, so he immediately spurred his horse and galloped away.

And the direction they were heading was Jinling.
