Upon seeing Huyan Xun, Xie Ning and his soldiers began to murmur amongst themselves.
Ling Ba thought to himself, "This speed is really slow."
Vera and his entourage, except for Vera himself, were immediately on guard.
Huyan Xun noticed the presence of camels in the group, and the foreign monk he had captured the day before was also among them. He became increasingly suspicious of the foreign monk.
He glanced at Vera with a defiant look.
Vera glanced at her briefly, then looked back, her expression remaining calm and composed.
All the changes in the outside world seemed to have nothing to do with him.
However, his hands were clenched tightly.
His entourage did not look at Huyan Xun with friendly eyes.
The moment Qin Susu heard Huyan Xun's voice, she suddenly grabbed Qiu Yan's wrist.
"Xiaoyan, why are these troublesome barbarians chasing after us? They're so annoying!"
Her face showed displeasure; she loathed Huyan Xun more than just a little.
She was fast asleep in the carriage this morning, unaware that Huyan Xun had ambushed people earlier that morning.
"Xiaoyan, I'll protect you."
Her action immediately put the three women, including Ap, on alert inside the carriage.
Apu and the other two turned around at the same time, and suddenly became tense.
They spoke in their own language, in a language that Qiu Yan and the other girl couldn't understand.
It was obvious that they were talking about Huyan Xun, the barbarian leader who had once posed a threat to them.
Qiu Yan: "They are quite difficult to deal with!" However, as long as it is beneficial to oneself, what does it matter if they are a little difficult?
Who told her to 'rob' someone else's warhorse?
Although the barbarian tribes were not good people, Qiu Yan knew that they could not be their enemies.
Otherwise, if they were to attack the Central Plains at this time, Dongjin would be in dire straits.
"Brother Ling, slow down." Qiu Yan was thinking about the journey ahead.
Upon hearing Qiu Yan's words, Xie Ning and his group of five tensed up again, following the movement of the carriage.
"Miss Qiu, shouldn't it be, shake them off?" Xie Ning asked.
Why are you slowing down?
This morning, Xie Ning and his soldiers were all quite puzzled by Hu Yanxun's coming and going.
Feng Chao: "There are so many of them, we can't beat them."
Zhang Meng, Lü Chong, and Jiang Sheng echoed his sentiments.
Zhang Meng: "The number of barbarians is dozens of times greater than ours."
Lü Chong: "We can't win in a group battle."
Jiang Sheng: "Eighth Deputy General, what do you think we should do?"
The soldiers shared this concern; they and the barbarian tribes had never been allies.
If a fight breaks out now, whether I can get back alive is another matter.
Ling Ba slowly shook his head.
"Who said we can't win?" It's just that there's no need to.
Xie Ning and his soldiers had clearly forgotten about their gunpowder.
"Xiaoyan, do you want to fight?"
Qin Susu rolled up her sleeves. "Count me in!"
As she spoke, she lifted the curtain and met the gaze of Huyan Xun, who happened to be riding up behind her, and couldn't help but glance at him sideways.
Qiu Yan sighed, "Gu Qian, can you find me someone smart? This Qin Susu isn't smart enough."
She pulled Qin Susu back into the carriage.
"Who was it that was desperately pleading for help on the roof yesterday?"
"Uh..." Qin Susu's cheeks puffed out.
Because of what happened yesterday, she suddenly felt hesitant to provoke Huyan Xun.
She was terrified that if Huyan Xun became displeased again, he would start relentlessly pursuing her.
"How was I supposed to know that the barbarian archers were so skilled? Xiaoyan, I almost lost my life, and you're still making fun of me."
