Before long, a middle-aged man dressed in the clothes of a Juyan resident found Tuomao, who was resting.

The middle-aged man approached Tuo Mao and whispered, "Captain Tuo, the Xiongnu are catching up. They're on a high ground about seven miles behind us!"

"What? They were fast?!"

Upon hearing this, Tuo Mao was immediately shocked and couldn't help but gasp.

The middle-aged man nodded calmly. "Yes, they chased for half a day without stopping, so it's not surprising that they were able to catch up!"

Tuo Mao looked around and, finding no one nearby, approached the middle-aged man and whispered, "What should we do then?"

The middle-aged man glanced at the spear, "What else can we do? Run, of course! Otherwise, do you think your rabble can defeat the Huns?"

Tuo Mao frowned slightly, but thinking of the Huns who were already so close, he feared that if he didn't leave soon, he would also perish here.

Finally, Tuo Mao raised his head, squinted at the middle-aged man, and said in a low voice, "You must remember the conditions you promised me!"

The middle-aged man laughed and said, "Heh~, Captain Tuo, don't worry, we keep our word. Our men in Jiuquan have already prepared a luxurious mansion for you, with more than a dozen beautiful women and a lot of money, enough for you to live a life of wealth and comfort for the rest of your life! That life will definitely be much more comfortable than being a guard captain!"

Tuo Mao nodded in relief. "Now that things have come to this, there's no other way! Let's go!!"

Afterwards, Tuo Mao quietly left the place with his dozen or so men and the middle-aged man, and then quickly fled towards Jiuquan.
