Ling Qi: "We are soldiers of Dongjin." Since we are going to die anyway, let this young general die knowing why.
The young player groaned, cried out in pain, and looked incredulous.
He clutched his chest in pain, "Dongjin...spies...spies...His Highness...will not...let...you go..."
*Thud...* Ling Ba delivered another blow, and blood gushed from the young general's mouth.
After saying this, his body tilted to the side, and he died right in front of the four men.
The young man never imagined that today would be his end.
"Run!"
As soon as Ling Ba finished speaking, he rushed towards Qiu Yan.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that Qiu Yan was seriously injured.
"Xiaoyan, didn't I tell you to wait where you are and not to act rashly?"
Qiu Yan lowered her eyes, knowing that further words would be useless.
After speaking, Ling Ba glanced at the woman in Qiu Yan's arms, whose eyes were tightly closed.
Seeing that she was covered in wounds, he was startled and quickly stepped forward to check her breath.
Qiu Yan: "She's alright, but she was hit hard by that young soldier, and she probably won't wake up for a while."
Ling Ba breathed a sigh of relief. At least they came out together; if they were to turn back, they would definitely need everyone.
Beside him, Ling Qi stared intently at Qiu Yan's pale face and said bitterly:
"Letting him die like this is too easy for him."
Qiu Yan tugged at the corner of her lips, glanced at the young general's figure,
"He's dead?"
Ling Qi nodded. "He's dead."
"We shouldn't stay here any longer. Let's leave quickly to avoid being surrounded again."
Qiu Yan's voice was weak and listless.
"Alright." Ling Qi bent down and picked Qin Susu up from Qiu Yan's arms. "It's not advisable to stay any longer."
Qiu Yan: "How is it?"
Ling Qi: "They lost one of their young generals, plus several hundred enemy soldiers."
Qiu Yan nodded slightly, "Well done."
Ling Qi: "Thanks to Ling Ba for arriving in time."
Qiu Yan slowly stood up and walked towards the horse.
On the way, Ling Ba walked silently behind Qiu Yan.
"Seeing that you are too weak to walk, I'll carry you on my back."
Qiu Yan shook her head: "No need, I can do it myself."
She pressed her palms down; the collision between her palms and that young general's had left her feeling sore all over, and truly uncomfortable.
"Thanks to your timely appearance, otherwise, that young general would probably have fled today."
After finishing her speech, to avoid encountering Northern Qi soldiers again, she endured her discomfort and quickened her pace.
Ling Ba glanced silently at Qiu Yan's retreating figure, feeling genuinely distressed.
He quickly caught up.
At this moment, the four men had arrived in front of the horse.
With Ling Ba's help, Qiu Yan mounted her horse, and Ling Qi, carrying Qin Susu, also mounted.
Ling Ba followed closely behind.
When he and Qin Susu first arrived, they had no horses to accompany them. Later, Qin Susu pawned her silver hairpin to buy two donkeys, but when they were crossing mountains and valleys, she sold the donkeys.
The four faced numerous dangers in the middle of the morning, but fortunately, they escaped unscathed.
Together, they went to a small town along the way, intending to find an inn first.
Soon, the town came into view.
Ling Ba called four guest rooms, and Ling Qi immediately carried Qin Susu up to the second floor of the inn.
It was nearly noon by then.
After a quick wash, Qiu Yan went downstairs to have a meal with Ling Qi and Ling Ba.
During the meal, Ling Ba asked:
"How did you manage to get through those checkpoints, which were so tight?" He had a lot of questions to ask Qiu Yan and the other woman.
"We encountered a minor setback," Qiu Yan said briefly. Ling Qi then took out his mask and added:
"Thanks to Xiaoyan's brilliant plan..."
...Lingnan Village,
He Lin and Zhan Yue spent the night at the Li family's house last night.
