"Let's take another look, see how many people are behind us!" Qian Shouyi touched the knife at his waist and said coldly.

The soldiers immediately left. Qian Shouyi looked around and then shouted, "Follow me!"

A moment later.

In a forest, Qian Shouyi looked at the soldiers who came to report and said:

"Are you sure? I don't see a large contingent of troops behind us?"

"No, General! I only saw seven or eight riders. They were wearing black robes and arrived very quickly."

Qian Shouyi sneered: "Qin Ze really looks down on people."

"I know he wants to kill the Japanese, so why did he send such a small number of people to chase me?"

The next instant, his face flushed crimson, and he roared:

"What do you take me for?!"

"You think killing me is as simple as stepping on an ant?!"

"Come on! Stop! Kill these bastards who are chasing us!"

"Yes, General!"

The soldiers immediately stopped their horses. Qian Shouyi spotted a large tree, slowly rode over, dismounted, and sat down against the tree trunk. He took a deep breath and said coldly:

"I'll rest here for a bit. There are only a few people chasing after us. Go and kill him!"

"Kill them, then we won't leave today. It's getting late, so let's rest here for the night."

The soldiers left immediately.

"call--"

Exhaling a breath of stale air, Qian Shouyi wearily took out his water bag, only to find it empty when he was about to drink some water.

"Oh shit!"

He threw the water bag away and leaned his head against the tree trunk, feeling soreness and pain all over his body.

The evening breeze rustled through the woods, and the crows in the trees cawed shrilly, which was quite annoying.

Qian Shouyi frowned and looked up at the gloomy sky.

"Is it going to rain?"

"That would be troublesome... Please, please don't let it rain, I don't want to walk in the mud."

He muttered to himself, slightly out of breath.

This rare tranquility suddenly made him feel drowsy; although the crows were cawing, at this moment it seemed to be urging him to sleep.

His weary body was finally able to rest, and his eyes were half-open and half-closed.

But only for a moment.

A sound of fighting came from ahead, startling the drowsy Qian Shouyi awake.

But he did not get up. There were only a few pursuers. Although he did not have many men under his command, it would be easy for him to deal with them.
