Noticing everyone's gaze, Qiu Yan waved to Ling Qi and the others, then ran over with her sister.

Qiu Ling'er looked at her brother and Xiao Ran's blood-stained bodies, her teeth chattering.

She stared at her brother for a long time, then burst into tears.

"Brother, you've made Ling'er so worried." She said, her voice choked with sobs, "Brother..."

"Little sister, your brother is fine, don't worry." Qiu Xu patted Qiu Ling'er's shoulder lightly with one hand, and then gave his sister, who also looked worried, a reassuring smile.

Qiu Yan had already carefully examined the three men's bodies to ensure that they were not seriously injured and were all within her treatment range, and breathed a sigh of relief.

He Jinran chuckled in dissatisfaction: "Aunt Ling'er is so biased."

Qiu Ling'er sniffed, and then hugged He Jinran as if to say, "You guys almost scared me to death."

Qiu Yan: "Now is not the time to talk. My two cousins, take a detour through the mountains and catch up with them!" She was always thinking about wiping out Hu Yanxun and the others in one fell swoop.

Ling Qi then glanced at the grassy mountain peaks.

"Where is Huyan Xun?" he asked through gritted teeth, looking at the broken arrow on the ground.

Qiu Ling'er: "They ran away." As she said this, her eyes flashed with fierce anger.

"Is it too late?" Qiu Xu shook his head. "I just scared them away by using my senior brother's name. They're probably on the run right now."

Qiu Yan fell silent, unsure if it was too late.

"Hahahaha..." Suddenly, a burst of wild laughter erupted, and Qiu Yan felt a chilling wind rustling against her neck.

"Is it too late? Qiu Yan, guess whether it's too late or not? You're really cunning, even though you're tied up, you still managed to escape!"

It was undoubtedly Huyan Xun, who was standing in the same spot as before.

Actually, he ran away.

Huyan Xun truly hated Qiu Yan's intelligence.

Huyan Xun did admit that he had indeed chickened out just now.

He was indeed stunned by the momentum of the Dongjin Army.

But then I thought about it again,

How can we leave before we've even seen what's real and what's not?

This is not his style.

If word gets out about what happened today, it will damage his reputation.

Furthermore, as soon as he escaped, he felt that something was wrong.

"Release the arrows!" With that command, he gave the order.

Countless arrows shot straight down from all directions from the mountaintop.

He Jinran... the rain of arrows just now almost took half his life.

He really couldn't hold on any longer.

Despite their utter exhaustion, the three men resumed their efforts, blocking the rain of arrows.

Fortunately, it wasn't just the three of them this time.

Qiu Yan and Qiu Ling'er also paid close attention to everything.

Huyan Xun looked down from his high position.

Ling Qi, Ling Ba, and their soldiers fought valiantly to hold off the enemy.

They wanted to throw gunpowder.

However, due to the poor geographical location, they could only broadcast the message remotely.

Huyan Xun truly saw this out.

He glared angrily at Qiu Yan, then, holding a crossbow, shot it straight at her body.

Today, he vowed to teach Qiu Yan a lesson.

However, if Qiu Yan could be easily injured by his arrow, she wouldn't be Qiu Yan.

While dodging, Qiu Yan was constantly prepared to leave this dangerous place.

Arrows rained down from the mountain peak; a trap lay ahead. For now, their only option was to flee the way they had come.

But thinking about it, it's obvious.

The road behind them had already been blocked by Huyan Xun's men.

However, they are not afraid.

Ling Qi and Ling Ba were filled with remorse.

They hated Huyan Xun, and they also resented themselves.

They managed to cut their losses in time, but they still fell into Huyanxun's trap.

...waves of arrows rained down one after another.

Huyan Xun laughed arrogantly, thinking to himself, "Qiu Yan, even if you escape, even if you see through the trap, what can you do?"

Weren't they trapped at the foot of this mountain by my men?

Of course, he was wrong.

Huyan Xun seemed to have an inexhaustible supply of arrows.

"He Lin, even if you don't show yourself, if all your men are dead, let's see what you have left to fight me with."

Huyan Xun's laughter grew louder and more arrogant.

Until he saw the Dongjin soldiers directly blow up his blocked exit with gunpowder.

"Retreat, retreat quickly!" He panicked for a moment and almost forgot that Dongjin's gunpowder was unmatched.

His trap, which resulted in a hail of arrows, failed to wipe out the entire Dongjin army, leaving him resentful.

Huyan Xun personally led more than 10,000 men to disperse in all directions and quickly go into hiding.

Ling Qi and Ling Ba quickly led their troops to begin searching the mountains and forests.

The problem was that Huyan Xun's army was all dressed in Central Plains clothing, making it difficult for them to distinguish between friend and foe.

We might as well arrest them one by one and take them back to identify them.

Then another question arises.

The enemy forces are too numerous, making them difficult to capture.

"It's really a mudfish in the mud!" He Jinran said as he searched.

“Who says otherwise?” Qiu Ling’er thought Xiao Ran’s analogy was very apt.

Having lived two lives throughout history, this wasn't the first time Qiu Yan had played hide-and-seek with the enemy.

Based on her combat experience

These people won't get very far.

Of course, they wouldn't want to go too far.

After all, they haven't achieved their goal yet.

She knew that a thorough search was the most effective method.

"Xiaoyan, let's go." Ling Qi said, and Ling Ba echoed in agreement.

"We'll take you home."

"Yes, sister, let's go home." Qiu Ling'er was genuinely worried about her sister.

In such circumstances, if it were an ordinary pregnant woman, it would be another matter whether she could even save the mother, let alone the child.

Of course, she was also worried about her brother and Xiaoran.

Qiu Xu and He Jinran nodded in agreement.

"Let's leave. There are other people here; we're not needed."

"Okay." Qiu Yan had limited energy and genuinely wanted to go home first and wait for news.

“Ah Xu and Xiao Ran also went home. You need to get medical treatment as soon as possible.”

But unexpectedly, in the next instant,

Another overwhelming rain of arrows...

The whooshing sound of horses galloping in.

As Qiu Yan dodged the arrow, her wrist was grabbed.

She struggled free.

Its body slid straight along the ground for dozens of meters.

Finally, Huyan Xun pulled him onto the horse's back.

Fast, really fast.

Qiu Yan's wrists were swollen and bleeding from being pulled, and her legs were scratched by tree branches while she was struggling to break free, with blood dripping from them. Her feet were also cut.

Fortunately, because of her movements, she sat on the horse's back instead of hanging on it.

Otherwise, the fetus might not survive.

The horse galloped away, running wildly all the way.

"elder sister……"

"mother!"

"..."

Before Qiu Xu and the others could react, they had already used their lightness skills to quickly give chase in the direction the horse had galloped.

However, during the pursuit...

Suddenly, several barbarian riders appeared beside him.

Moreover, arrows were whizzing towards Qiu Xu and his group from behind, hindering their pursuit as they fled...

In an instant, an explosion rang out...

On the other side, Qiu Yan sat in front of the horse, so jolted so much she almost threw up.

"Qiu Yan, I've imagined this scene many times, and I never thought it would finally come true today."

"You won't succeed!" Qiu Yan took a deep breath, truly surprised that this man would be so fierce.

She underestimated this man.
