After winning the battle in Jinzhou, the exiled prisoners immediately set off.
Unfortunately, they encountered a troop of Hun soldiers, numbering about a thousand, all fully equipped.
In Shen Yujiao's words, they hadn't even left yet when they were chopped into pieces.
Ma Dazhuang rubbed his forehead, regretting it, really regretting it.
The Xiongnu charged towards them, their sharp blades falling mercilessly. The exiles were not afraid at all; they ran away when necessary.
Mu Wanting occasionally shot a few cold arrows behind her.
A number of Xiongnu people did fall. Mu Wanting's hands never stopped, and she even took action against Shen Xinglan.
Shen Yujiao was even worse; the whip was almost completely covering her face.
Later, Mu Wanting became very anxious. She hid in the shadows and retrieved the gun from her spatial storage, which her mother had told her not to touch. She then fired at the Huns.
The loud explosions frightened the Xiongnu people so much that they stopped in their tracks.
The exiled criminals were also surprised to see Mu Wanting.
Mu Wanting said, "A Westerner sold some to me."
Shen Xinglan looked over, and Mu Wanting, remembering his excellent archery skills, tossed him a gun.
Shen Xinglan's aim was perfect, and the Xiongnu people retreated in fear. In the battle between firearms and cold weapons, firearms clearly won.
Just as they were firing their arrows with great gusto, a Hun suddenly approached them at an imperceptible speed.
The man's face was sunburned and he had a full beard, but Mu Wanting recognized him at a glance as her second brother!
Shen Xinglan immediately raised her gun to prepare a plan.
Mu Wanting immediately stopped her.
"Don't move."
With so many convicts present, she couldn't reveal her second brother's identity, otherwise they might be accused of treason again.
Then, Mu Wanting started fighting with Mu Yunxiao and lured him to a very secluded corner.
Mu Yunxiao's moves were fierce, and he had an exceptionally high talent for martial arts since childhood. Mu Wanting was never his match.
However, with Shen Xinglan present this time, Mu Yunxiao was quickly captured.
Mu Yunxiao's eyes were devoid of any light, and Mu Wanting knew at a glance that he had been poisoned by the puppet gu. She knocked Mu Yunxiao unconscious and threw him into her spatial storage.
Shen Xinglan was already used to it.
As night fell and Mu Wanting was about to disappear from the tent, Shen Xinglan grabbed her hand and entered the space with her.
Mu Wanting's expression changed, and she immediately removed him from the space.
She was really careless; she didn't even know if Shen Xinglan had seen it clearly in that one glance.
Mu Wanting didn't have time to explain to Shen Xinglan. She immediately went back into the space to help Mu Yunxiao remove the puppet Gu.
Compared to the third brother's poison, the second brother's is easier to deal with.
Mu Wanting slit Mu Yunxiao's arm and drew out the puppet gu for him, then fed him some white soup and yellow soup.
The toxins in the body were also expelled one after another.
When Mu Yunxiao woke up, he was stunned to see a space that was both familiar and unfamiliar.
His eyes lit up when he saw Mu Wanting again.
"Little sister."
Mu Wanting had tears in her eyes.
"Second brother, how did you end up in the hands of the Xiongnu? Didn't you die in battle when you fought against the Tatars?"
Mu Yunxiao's face was grim: "It's all because we had a traitor among us, otherwise we wouldn't have suffered such a crushing defeat."
Mu Wanting said, "It's fortunate that you didn't go back to the capital, otherwise, given Emperor Lishun's petty nature, he might have exiled you as well."
Mu Yunxiao sighed.
"So who are you now?"
Mu Wanting told Mu Yunxiao about what she had experienced during this period.
His expression changed: "Mother is missing?"
"You married Shen Xinglan?"
"You were exiled along with them?"
Mu Wanting nodded: "That's right. I heard that you disappeared not long after you died in battle, and now your whole family is having a hard time."
As for the issues that follow, they are not worth discussing further.
Mu Yunxiao's face was grim: "It's all my fault."
Mu Wanting shook her head: "Second brother, this matter is not your fault."
"You should rest and recuperate in the space for a while."
Mu Yunxiao nodded: "I will recover as soon as possible, and then I will go out to find my mother myself. If we split up, we will have a better chance of success."
After they reached an agreement, Mu Wanting went out.
As soon as she came out, she met Shen Xinglan's bright black eyes.
Just as Mu Wanting was about to try to get away with it as usual, Shen Xinglan spoke up quietly.
"I saw it, a huge space, lots of plants, our Shenfu's things, and the country..."
Mu Wanting quickly covered Shen Xinglan's mouth.
Shen Xinglan's lips curled into a smile.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Mu Wanting turned over and stopped talking.
Shen Xinglan gently hugged Mu Wanting, and he felt that the feeling of uncertainty he had always had had disappeared.
Actually, he really didn't mean to go in with her; it just so happened that his hand landed on hers.
Who was that man just now?
Mu Wanting said, "He is my second brother."
He was somewhat stunned: "Didn't your second brother die in battle?"
Mu Wanting nodded: "That's what people used to say, and that's what I thought too. I never expected that my second brother would be so lucky to survive."
"If it weren't for this exile, I might never have seen my second brother again."
Shen Xinglan said, "I'm so glad that my second brother is still alive."
Just then, the voices of the officials could be heard from outside.
"Guards! Run! The Huns are coming again!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the convicts who had just sat down to rest got up again and ran for their lives.
The Xiongnu were already chasing after them from afar with their broadswords, and the exiles were scrambling to hide.
Mu Wanting quietly used spatial power to dig a pit, and then discreetly covered it with something.
They hid in a small hill, and the Xiongnu pursued them from behind, but soon they were ambushed and fell into a pit.
They struggled at the bottom of the pit, their faces filled with fear.
Mu Wanting walked over, and those people even took out their swords to attack her, but a group of convicts killed all the Xiongnu.
The people of Bactria now deeply resent the Xiongnu.
Mu Wanting also disliked the Xiongnu people, and she had no idea what had happened to her second brother at their hands.
After all, cultivating puppet gu is not easy. If someone has strong willpower, the first step is to destroy that person's willpower.
Afterwards, Mu Wanting would have to ask her second brother if he knew who had cast the curse on him; she couldn't let him suffer for nothing.
After dealing with this small group of Xiongnu, the Xiongnu that had slipped through earlier attacked them again.
They were so menacing, it looked like they were about to tear them to pieces.
Mu Wanting and her team fought back fiercely, each of them looking tense.
Murong Rong had already gone far away again. Zhao Zhiyuan walked over and spoke to Mu Wanting with concern.
"Do you have a knife? Give me one. I may not know martial arts, but I can still help."
