Chapter 381: Conspiracy from Beyond the Territory

"Hide!"

The witch doctor was still a few seconds late in speaking, but the three men reacted quickly enough and dodged the bullet at an incredible angle as it grazed their bodies.

Bai Li fired another volley of bullets. The three people who had just avoided the bullets and had not yet stabilized their bodies were not so lucky this time. The witch doctor was hit by a bullet in the shoulder, the witch soul was injured in the arm and thigh, and a bullet grazed the witch's scalp. He reached out and touched his hand full of blood, then fled screaming.

"Second brother!"

"Second brother, save me!"

The two injured men fell to the ground and shouted hurriedly when they saw Wushu was about to leave.

It would have been fine if they hadn't shouted, but once they did, Witch ran even faster, without even looking back, fleeing like a stray dog.

Bai Li chased for a few steps and raised his arm. With a "biu" sound, Wushu was shot in the thigh, but he just paused for a moment, quickly made hand gestures with both hands, then crossed his fingers and pressed them on the wound. In the blink of an eye, he was able to walk briskly again!

"Oh, you're quite capable!"

Bai Li wanted to chase after him, but suddenly she remembered that there were two people behind her. But when she turned around, there was no one there.

She returned to the place where they had been lying, but it was empty.

If there weren't still bright red bloodstains on the ground, one would suspect that the scene just now was just a dream.

"Big Eagle, where are they?!"

Bai Li turned around and asked the eagle that was hiding aside as a spectator. The eagle shook its head and nodded, and no one knew what it wanted to express.

"Hurry up and take me off, and see where they escape to!"

Bai Li searched the entire back mountain, but could not find any trace of the three witch doctors, as if they had never been there at all.

At this time, the drums of the Great Zhou army sounded, and Bai Li knew she had to go back!

"Let's go back to Mocheng!"

The eagle obeyed the order and flew towards Mocheng.

In Mocheng, due to the great victory of the Great Zhou army, the city gates had already been opened. Li Shanglin personally led the three armies and the people of the city lined up to welcome Bai Zongren's 50,000 troops into the city.

As everyone was waiting anxiously, the soldiers appeared in everyone's sight, escorting prisoners, leading captured horses, and pulling enemy supplies.

"Look, there are hundreds of trucks carrying food. The Mongolian army has so much supplies!"

"Since they dared to come all the way to attack our Great Zhou, how can we fight without sufficient supplies?"

"That's good! These supplies are cheap for our Great Zhou!"

"Luckily, Marshal Bai came to support us, otherwise, not only would we lose supplies, we wouldn't even be able to defend Mo City!"

"If you ask me, the victory of the Great Zhou is completely inseparable from Marshal Bai. Without Marshal Bai, our Great Zhou would have fallen into the hands of other countries by now!"

"Shh, don't say that carelessly. If someone hears you, you'll be in trouble!"

An old man tried to persuade the young man who said this with good intentions, but the young man didn't appreciate it and stiffened his neck to refute.

Suddenly, he saw a big bird flying in the sky, and the young man hurriedly grabbed the old man's arm and shook it.

"Look, a big bird!"

"Where?"

"Front!"

"No, it's overhead, oh my god! There's a person on the giant bird!!"

Bai Li was speechless. This eagle was the center of attention wherever it went, and she couldn't keep a low profile every time she appeared.

"Li'er!"

Li Shanglin waved his hand, and Bai Li asked the eagle to fly lower, so that everyone could see her face.

"Grandpa, I'm back!"

"Oh my god! I actually saw Marshal Bai!"

"Really, really, where is it?!"

"Over there, with General Li!"

"I saw it too. Marshal Bai looks so young!"

"I never thought that Marshal Bai is such a beautiful lady!"

"You're courting death, aren't you? If you keep hooking your eyes again, I'll dig them out!"

"Madam, please spare me. I'm just curious and admire Marshal Bai. I really don't have any other thoughts!"

A young couple almost got into a fight in the street because of this.

"You two idiots, Marshal Bai is the moon that day, is that something you can dream of? Stop talking nonsense, or you'll be laughed at!"

It was the same old man who scolded the couple.

Bai Li was not interested in the commotion below. He let the eagle fly in the air and followed the army into the city.

"Grandpa, send someone to invite my father over. We have something important to discuss."

Bai Li returned to the barracks and spoke anxiously without waiting for the army to settle down.

Seeing that she was anxious, Li Shanglin hurriedly asked Li Dalin to call someone.

"Go and ask General Bai, and tell him you have something urgent to discuss."

Li Dalin took the order and left, inviting Bai Zongren, who was busy settling the army, to come over.

Bai Zongren handed the matter over to Ji Huanan and followed Li Dalin.

"What's the rush?"

Bai Zongren asked as they walked, and Li Dalin scratched his head, unable to say anything.

"It's Ali who called me. You'll know soon."

Soon, the two came to Bai Li.

"Dad, Grandpa, in an emergency, I'll keep it simple. I'll just say it straight."

"Dad, remember what I told you about the people from outside the domain?"

"Why, they came to Da Zhou?"

As expected of father and daughter, they understood everything immediately.

"What outsiders? Are the legends true?"

Bai Li admired her grandfather Li Shanglin's ability to accept things, and then she talked about what had just happened.

"You said that the three people from outside the domain wanted to kidnap Xuan Yuao and return to Meng State, and then plot against Meng State?"

Bai Zongren asked.

"Exactly. I want to find Xuan Yuao and prevent him from being used by them, but I can't find him no matter how hard I try. I don't know where they're hiding him!"

Bai Li was very upset. If he had known earlier, he should have caught someone and forced him to tell the whereabouts of Xuan Yuao!

"Now, either we send a large number of people to search for the whereabouts of these three people and Xuan Yuao, or we wait until they reach Meng Country before making any plans!"

The 150,000-strong Mongolian army had just been annihilated, and it was unknown whether the Mongolian army would send another large army. The Li family army did not dare to act rashly. Bai Zongren's army was a mobile team that could be moved wherever needed. With this calculation, there was no extra manpower to look for people.

Li Shanglin stroked his beard and thought deeply, and Bai Zongren had no better idea for the moment.

"It seems that I need to write a letter to the emperor and let him make the decision."

Bai Li nodded. She had no troops here, so this was the only option at the moment.

"Report!"

"pass!"

As Li Shanglin finished speaking, a soldier came in holding a pigeon.

It was obvious at a glance that this was another letter from the palace.

Li Mingwu took the thumb-sized bamboo tube, opened the wax seal, and pulled out a small piece of paper from it.

"Qianxi is in danger. I hope General Bai Zongren will come to support us as soon as possible! The signature is from the Emperor."

"Qianxi has Shangguan Yu and Lieutenant General Mu stationed there, and General Li's 50,000-man army is backing them up. How can they still be defeated by 100,000 Laotian troops?"

"Wu'er, without Li'er and Zongren, we can't defeat the Mongolian army."

Li Mingwu was so upset by his father's words that he lost his temper and became speechless in an instant.

"Dad, you haven't rested yet, and you're going to Qianxi again?"

Bai Li felt really sorry for his father when he saw that his father looked so tired and had no time to take care of his untidy beard.

"Li'er, this is what being a soldier is like. Rescuing an emergency is like putting out a fire. This not only concerns the lives of the soldiers, but also the loss of the surrounding passes. There is no time to delay."
