Seeing the whip marks on Yan Yan's body, he drove his horse very carefully, not daring to move too fast at all.
Looking at Yan Yan's furrowed brows, he felt sorrowful and extremely resentful.
He Jinran followed cautiously, keeping his head down the whole time.
"Father, Huyan Xun is just ahead!"
Gu Qian's body suddenly turned cold.
Qiu Yan murmured.
"Gu Qian, kill him quickly!"
"Yan Yan." Gu Qian felt extremely distressed seeing Qiu Yan in such a state.
"He won't survive. I'll take you home first."
“No,” Qiu Yan shook her head, “If he escapes, he will be a major scourge to Dongjin.”
"I'm fine." Qiu Yan touched her protruding belly with one hand.
Fetal movements have decreased, and abdominal pain has also lessened considerably.
"The child is fine."
As soon as he finished speaking, the sounds of fighting broke out.
Gu Qian looked up and saw something not far ahead.
Besides A Xu, Ling Qi, Ling Ba, Zhan Yue, and a handful of other Dongjin soldiers,
They are currently engaged in a life-or-death struggle with Huyan Xun's army of over 20,000...
Upon closer inspection,
Besides these people, there was another figure in the army who brought tears to Gu Qian's eyes.
Li Zheng.
At this moment, the master and Qiu Xu were back to back, fiercely exchanging blows.
No, there is one more person.
He Lin.
At this moment, he was being protected by Zhan Yue, Li Zheng, Qiu Xu, Ling Qi, Ling Ba, and others.
He was also in a bloodthirsty frenzy, and his sniping skills were no less impressive.
However, it must be admitted that if it weren't for Qiu Xu and others protecting him, he would have died long ago.
The sight of Li Zheng and Qiu Xu fighting side by side instantly reminded Gu Qian of the past.
Gu Qian, carrying Qiu Yan, landed suddenly beside his master. "Master."
"Qian'er, Xiao Ran?" Li Zheng was taken aback, but secretly delighted.
He Jinran followed, "Didn't Master leave?"
Asking is pointless; now is not the time to seek answers.
The two men entered, startling the enemy troops.
Qiu Xu fixed his gaze on his sister, and Ling Qi and Ling Ba felt the same way. When they saw the general appear, they were both surprised and delighted, but more than anything, they felt guilty.
He Linzhanyue's eyes lit up with hope.
He Lin immediately went to He Jinran.
This child, he's been so hard to find. I was so worried just now, my heart was practically jumping out of my chest.
He looked at Qiu Yan, feeling a pang of heartache, then looked at Gu Qian, only to find...
Gu Qian didn't even glance at him.
He Lin... lowered his eyes sheepishly, then looked up again in an instant...
He saw Jin'er's slingshot pointing at Huyan Xun, ready to fire at any moment...
Huyan Xun also saw Gu Qian.
There was no time to panic.
A loud rumble,
The fighting stopped abruptly.
Huyan Xun quickly slipped away.
Upon closer inspection, he saw that a large number of his subordinates had been killed or wounded.
"Why is there still gunpowder?"
He thought that the soldiers of Dongjin had run out of ammunition.
The moment she saw Gu Qian, she was completely stunned.
"Qiu Yan really did call them here."
He was afraid, he was shocked, but the thought that he still had 50,000 troops made him straighten his back instantly.
When Hu Yanxun finally faced Gu Qian, he suddenly lost his earlier panic.
Seeing the boundless tenderness in Gu Qian's eyes as he held Qiu Yan in his arms, he scoffed disdainfully.
The least trustworthy thing in this world is romantic love between men and women.
Hmph, those who are too attached to their children and their children will never achieve great things!
He immediately ordered, "Retreat! Retreat now!"
He had already led his 20,000 troops in a swift retreat, preparing to first join forces with Yuwen Xian's 30,000 troops.
However, the rumbling sounds beside them grew louder and louder.
Huyan Xun had no choice but to flee for his life in a sorry state...
Gu Qian, carrying Qiu Yan, used his light-footed skill to quickly catch up.
The same was true for Qiu Xu and others behind him.
They all quickly followed behind Gu Qian, bravely rushing towards the barbarian men running in all directions.
Only Li Zheng stopped and turned to leave.
Dongjin is fine, and there's nothing more for him to do here.
Seeing this, He Lin also stopped and followed behind Li Zheng.
Huyan Xun ran quickly, glancing back to check the situation as he went.
As Gu Qian's footsteps drew closer,
His sense of panic returned.
His original force of over ten thousand decoys had been almost entirely destroyed or maimed due to the Dongjin gunpowder.
He didn't want his 50,000 soldiers to suffer the same fate.
However, when he heard the screams ahead, his hopes were completely shattered.
Gu Qian and Qiu Yan are both his nemesis.
What's there to be afraid of? Gu Qian is only human; he can't possibly have three heads and six arms.
When he saw that there were only a few thousand soldiers behind him, he straightened his back again.
He figured that Gu Qian was probably worried about the woman at home and had run away halfway back.
He looked up and glanced at the sky.
"Hmph, just bluffing!"
Despite this, Huyan Xun was still afraid of Gu Qian.
"Soldiers, charge!" The powerful command rang out from his mouth.
However, his orders were the opposite.
"Spreading evacuation!"
He took the lead and retreated rapidly.
He was certain that Gu Qian was bluffing.
If he were surrounded by layers of soldiers, he should have noticed it long ago.
As long as the green hills remain, there will always be firewood to burn.
Huyan Xun turned around, and as Gu Qian's arrow flew towards him, his entire body was already straddling the horse's back, blending into the chaotic shadows of the soldiers.
They began to roam freely through the mountains and forests.
Gu Qian paused, glanced at the woman in his arms, and handed her to Qiu Xu, who was following closely behind.
"Make sure your sister gets home safely."
Gu Qian glanced at Ling Qi and Ling Ba who were following behind him.
The two nodded in succession and stood beside Qiu Xu.
"Yes." Qiu Xu took his unconscious sister from Gu Qian's arms, turned around, and drove away from this dangerous place.
He Jinran opened his mouth, intending to follow and escort them.
But with his mother there were his uncles and Ling Qi and Ling Ba, he wanted to see his father kill Huyan Xun with his own hands.
After Qiu Xu left, Gu Qian stared at his retreating figure with icy eyes, as cold as the coldest days of winter.
He ordered his men and women to...
"Continue the pursuit, surround Huyan Xun in the mountains, and do not let your guard down!"
His gaze was cold and determined to wipe out Huyan Xun in one fell swoop.
The soldiers behind him on all sides
They began to pursue the vast enemy army... annihilating them one by one.
The thunderous roar of cannon fire followed.
Huyan Xun's army of birds and beasts was plunged into endless lamentation time and time again.
Those struck by gunpowder were engulfed in flames.
They rolled or crawled, weeping and wailing.
Those who were temporarily lucky fled in panic.
Gu Qian locked his gaze on Hu Yanxun's retreating figure and gave chase relentlessly.
He was driven to the brink of despair...
This was the place where Huyan Xun had ambushed the soldiers of Dongjin.
In an instant,
It's the other way around.
The soldiers of Dongjin had already filled the entire mountain peak.
With nowhere left to retreat, Huyan Xun looked back at Gu Qian, who was relentlessly pursuing him, and slowed his pace.
He had nowhere to go; if he went any further, he would face certain death.
"I surrender!"
"Gu Qian, for the sake of the warhorse I once gave Qiu Yan, spare me this time. From today onwards, I, Huyan Xun, am willing to be a vassal of the Central Plains." Although Huyan Xun spoke respectfully, his eyes revealed his unwillingness.
"You've already paid for what you just did!" Gu Qian said coldly, glancing in the direction Yan Yan had left.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you die a little more comfortably."
