The Mobei cavalry surged in like a tide, and soon surrounded the hill tightly.
Xie Wanyun was looking down from a high place and saw the clamor of people and horses, and torches like a forest, lighting up the mountain below as if it were daytime. He couldn't help but feel shocked.
Now that we are surrounded by enemies, how can we break out?
Blue Moon Pass Military Camp.
A young general in a white robe dismounted from his horse and strode in, his armor rustling.
His face couldn't be seen in the darkness, only a pair of eyes as bright as morning stars flashed with excitement.
"Grand Marshal! Military Advisor Yan! I'm back!"
It was General Xiao Xie—Yan Jinbai.
Liu Sheng stood up suddenly and looked at him in disbelief.
"What's wrong, Marshal? Are you unhappy to see me back?" Jin Bai said with a smile.
Yan Suizhi's heart suddenly tightened and he walked over quickly.
"Have you seen Madam Xie?"
Liu Sheng and Yan Suizhi asked this question almost at the same time.
"Thank you, Madam?" Yan Jinbai was stunned, unable to understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment.
"Mrs. Xie knew that you were trapped and in danger, so she brought people to rescue you! How come you didn't meet them?" Liu Sheng asked loudly.
Yan Suizhi's throat went dry. How could this happen? Where had Meimei gone? Why had Jinbai returned, but there was no news of her?
Yan Jinbai looked at Yan Suizhi's pale face and finally understood.
His mother had come to Lanyu Pass! When she learned he was in danger, she rushed to save him regardless of the consequences. The battlefield was so dangerous, and even though his mother was skilled in martial arts, she was still a woman. How could she be allowed to fight on the battlefield?
It had been five years since he last saw his mother! If anything happened to her, he would never forgive himself in his life!
He felt all the blood in his body rushing to his head, and he felt angry and anxious.
His eyes were red as he yelled at Yan Suizhi, "Military Advisor! What's going on? How could you let her go? What are all these men doing? How could you let a woman go to the battlefield?"
Yan Suizhi felt as if a sharp knife was twisting his heart. His son had returned, and his wife was in danger again.
He really should have stopped her. But at that time, they both had only one thought in mind: to save their son.
"General Xie!" Liu Sheng shouted.
"Don't be rude! Madam Xie heard you were trapped and risked her life to rescue you. We couldn't stop her! Military Advisor Yan was helpless too. How did you escape?"
Yan Jinbai was stunned for a moment before replying, "I encountered a large group of Mobei cavalry and was trapped for a day and a night. I just broke out not long ago. Where is my mother... Madam Xie now? Which direction is she going?"
"Report--" A hoarse voice came from outside the military camp.
Yan Jinbai turned around suddenly and rushed out.
A young general rolled off his horse, covered in blood, and rushed into the tent running and rolling.
"General! Madam Xie is in danger, please send reinforcements as soon as possible!" After saying this, he fell to the ground.
"What did you say?!"
Liu Sheng, Yan Suizhi, and Yan Jinbai shouted in unison.
"Where is Madam Xie now?" Yan Jinbai grabbed the young general's arm and shook it vigorously.
"General Xie, let go quickly, he can't say anything like this!" Liu Sheng shouted.
The young general broke out of the encirclement, running all the way with injuries, almost fainting from exhaustion. After being shaken by Yan Jinbai, it seemed that he could not hold on any longer.
Yan Jinbai quickly let go and slapped his face, "Don't faint! Tell me, where is Madam Xie?"
"She's... on a mountain about forty miles outside Blue Moon Pass... Go and save her... I and my men were surrounded by the Mobei people, and it was Madam Xie... who saved us..."
Before he could finish his words, he could no longer hold on and fainted.
Yan Jinbai let go of him, jumped up and rushed out.
"Xie General! Where are you going?" Yan Suizhi shouted as he chased after him.
"I'll go save her!" Yan Jinbai agreed and had already climbed onto his horse. His voice echoed back from far away in the night.
Several riders immediately followed him.
The sound of horse hooves disappeared into the night.
Yan Suizhi felt completely powerless. His legs gave way and he fell to his knees in the dust.
There has never been a moment when I hate myself as much as I do now.
Why was he a useless scholar? Why didn't he have superb martial arts to protect his wife and children?
