He turned his head in shock. It was not an illusion. Wang Xinyong really rode towards him on horseback. He led a group of people and horses. One leg was stiffly placed aside, and the other leg kept urging the horses. When they attacked the city before, Wang Xinyong was mixed in, but no one saw him. After all, everyone's attention was on Qu Yunmie. Who would care about a person who came back from the dead?

After the city was broken, he learned that Xiao Rong had disappeared somehow, and Yuan Baifu had escaped with his soldiers. Naturally, he took over the task of hunting down Yuan Baifu.

He was furious all the way, but when he really saw people, he found that there was not only Yuan Baifu, but also Yao Xian and Xiao Rong, they were all there!

Wang Xinyong simply couldn't believe his eyes, and he was not the only one who was shocked. Xiao Rong was also shocked, but the shock of all of them combined was not as severe as that of Yuan Baifu alone.

When Yuan Baifu saw Wang Xinyong appear in front of him alive, his blood ran cold.

He had never been so clear-headed as he was now. It turned out that the people he had killed could be resurrected, it turned out that the people who said they would stand by him could abandon him in the blink of an eye, it turned out that after all this trouble, he had accomplished nothing. …

When Xiao Rong found out that Wang Xinyong was still alive, he was so happy that he almost cried. However, he did not relax his vigilance. After he noticed Yuan Baifu's hand moved, his pupils shrank and he instinctively pushed Yao Xian aside. The knife that was aimed at Yao Xian's head finally landed on his shoulder. But when he found out that he had missed the target, Yuan Baifu did not hit him again. He quickly picked up Xiao Rong, put him on the horse, and then took Xiao Rong into the woods.

Wang Xinyong was shocked, and naturally tried his best to catch up, but he asked one person beside him to leave the team to rescue Yao Xian who was lying on the ground.

At this time, he had no time to care about Yao Xian's injuries. If he let Yuan Baifu take Xiao Rong away in front of him, everything would be over.

The soldiers and horses around Wang Xinyong were not his own soldiers, but the one hundred people that Gao Xunzhi had sent to find him. Wang Xinyong was not Gongsun Yuan, so after surviving in the wilderness for a while, he still found his way back to the main road. He was determined to go back to find his own soldiers and horses, so naturally he ran into those one hundred people.

I thought I could take a break, but as soon as I arrived in Hanzhong, I was mistaken for thieves who broke into the city, even though they were all wearing armor of the Zhenbei Army.

When he saw Gao Xunzhi, he knew what had happened. This time there was no need to rest. He immediately mounted his horse again and rushed towards Zitong City.

The rear army needed his support, and the king, who had learned the bad news, needed his help even more. Gao Xunzhi did not even ask him to stop the king, but only asked him to help the king quickly capture Zitong.

If Xiao Rong can be found sooner, everything will be easy. If not, Zi Tong will be left with a bloodbath.

Qu Yunmie has never massacred a city, but that's because he hasn't had the opportunity and no one has provoked him to this extent, so he has always taken revenge when he has a grudge, but an out-of-control Qu Yunmie will vent his anger on others. He will vent his anger on a family because of one person, and naturally he will vent his anger on an entire city because of a team.

Wang Xinyong was still injured and his leg was almost unable to move. Even so, he still held on to Yuan Baifu tightly. However, Yuan Baifu knew this area better than him and his riding skills were better than Wang Xinyong. Wang Xinyong had already left the team behind, but still could not catch him. At this time, Yuan Baifu suddenly looked back and then went into a denser woods. Wang Xinyong was hit by a branch and fell off his horse. His legs were not in good condition, and when he climbed up again, Yuan Baifu was long gone.

The people behind quickly caught up, some continued to chase Yuan Baifu, while a few quickly dismounted to check on Wang Xinyong's situation.

"General Wang, how are you?!"

"Damn it! He actually let him escape again. Where on earth does he want to go? If he goes further, he will reach Yizhou!"

"How are we going to explain this to the King?"

People around him were talking at once, but Wang Xinyong just stared blankly ahead. Others thought he had become autistic because of the heavy blow, but in fact he was still in the process of reacting.

Was he dazzled? Otherwise, how could he see Xiao Rong turning his head and mouthing "Don't worry" to him? ... How could he not be worried! *

Yuan Baifu was indeed heading for Yizhou. He knew Ningzhou, but he knew Yizhou even better. At the junction of Yizhou and Ningzhou, there was a long-abandoned earthen building. This was a sentry tower built a hundred years ago when foreign races managed Yizhou. It was to guard against the people of Ningzhou at that time. Most people didn't know that there was such a building here, and even if they knew, it would be of no use. After all, it had been too long and the building was already dilapidated and could not be demolished anymore.

The earthen buildings are built with earth, wood and bamboo. Those foreign races are really amazing, as they were able to make the bamboo so strong that it is still standing here after a hundred years.

When they were dozens of miles away, Yuan Baifu abandoned his horse and walked. He took Xiao Rong and found a random house. He tied Xiao Rong's hands with a rope, then took a young couple hostage and threatened them with a knife to go up the mountain with him.

As for those who had followed Yuan Baifu before, some of them fell behind, some were caught up and killed by the Zhenbei Army, and there were two who followed him here, but as soon as Yuan Baifu got off his horse, he killed them with his own hands.

Xiao Rong pursed his lips and looked at Yuan Baifu, but said nothing.

If Yuan Baifu wanted to escape, he should have left me behind, because he could escape faster if he left me behind, and the Zhenbei Army would not keep chasing him. Since he was so destitute and still wanted to take me with him, it seemed that he still had other things he wanted to do.

Xiao Rong remained silent along the way, walking from day to night. Finally, they arrived at the place. The couple was so scared that they kept crying. They thought they were going to die here tonight, but who knew that Yuan Baifu suddenly let them go.

They stared blankly at Yuan Baifu, who asked them to return the same way they came, otherwise he would find them again and chop them into pulp.

The two of them were trembling like sieves, so naturally they believed whatever he said. After watching the couple leave, Yuan Baifu grabbed Xiao Rong's clothes and dragged him up to the earth building.

After throwing Xiao Rong to the ground, he tied him to a pillar on the second floor with another rope. Turning around, Yuan Baifu began to decorate the place. He cleaned the old lampstand, poured the lamp oil he carried with him, lit it with a tinderbox, and then held the lampstand. Yuan Baifu finally looked a little more normal.

He asked Xiao Rong: "Do you know why the Xianbei people dug up the bones of Qu Yue and Ishtar, but not Qu Dong?"

Xiao Rong: “I don’t know.”

Yuan Baifu smiled and said, "Because Qu Dong was lured there by the Xianbei people, they burned the grassland. The fire burned for two whole days, and Qu Dong had already turned into dust. He had no bones, so naturally he could not be dug up."

Xiao Rong looked at the lamp in his hand and understood: "So you want to burn me to death in the same way, so that you can stimulate Qu Yunmie more seriously."

In this way, it is obvious why Yuan Baifu wanted the two men to return along the same route. He wanted to lure Qu Yunmie over.

Yuan Baifu smiled: "Yes, I don't understand why Qu Yunmie cares about you so much, but he cares about you, which is really great."

Xiao Rong also laughed: "Silly, there are many things you don't understand."

Yuan Baifu: “…”
