Now that things have come to this, Qiu Yan can only think about how to escape.
"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't be in such a sorry state!" Huyan Xun said angrily.
His perfectly good plan was ruined by Qiu Yan, so it's no wonder he was furious.
Qiu Yan: "Stop now. Like the Western Regions, become a vassal of the Central Plains, and maybe you can survive." She only wanted to protect herself.
Huyan Xun laughed wildly: "You want me to surrender? How ridiculous! The wheel of fortune turns, and no matter what, this world cannot be monopolized by He Lin alone!"
Then, he glanced at the distant horizon.
"Even if your Dongjin gunpowder is incredibly powerful, so what? Our warriors in the Northern Desert are far more numerous than those you see. Haha, you didn't expect this, Qiu Yan, but hidden in these very mountains are half a million of our elite troops. You don't know yet, do you? Your palace has already become my possession."
How did these large numbers of troops enter the city?
Of course, they still disguised themselves as ordinary citizens and entered the city in batches.
Of course, the man surnamed Qin also played a big role in this.
Five hundred thousand elite troops? Qiu Yan felt a chill run down her spine.
Presumably, it was a whole army that Huyan Xun cobbled together from various sources.
So, the ten thousand barbarian enemy troops she knew about were all bait thrown out by Huyan Xun?
The purpose was to trick them into using up all their existing explosives.
This person is both cruel and terrifying.
The fall of the palace was of little consequence to her.
If it's lost, just get it back.
But those 500,000 troops truly terrified her.
If it is true that Huyan Xun killed His Majesty and occupied Dongjin, then they would truly become slaves of a conquered nation.
No, they also have Gu Qian.
Moreover, He Lin also had gunpowder in his possession.
Thinking of Gu Qian, Qiu Yan's mood improved considerably.
The horse continued to gallop wildly, and Qiu Yan was forced to hold her stomach tightly with one hand.
Seeing Qiu Yan deep in thought, Hu Yanxun chuckled.
"Why aren't you saying anything? Are you scared?"
"He's scared." She didn't want to discuss these things with Huyan Xun, thinking of taking him by surprise and killing him in one fell swoop.
However, Huyan Xun didn't give her a chance to make a move.
Helpless, she had no choice but to find another way.
"Where are you taking me?" Qiu Yan asked from horseback.
"Of course, we captured He Lin alive," Huyan Xun said matter-of-factly.
"To catch the thief, first catch the king!" On the way, he couldn't wait to completely possess this woman, to diminish her arrogance, and to make her unable to face Gu Qian in the future, leaving her with no choice but to follow him.
Of course, Huyan Xun was afraid that things might change if he delayed.
If Qiu Yan manages to escape, then everything he just did will have been in vain.
Where is He Lin? Qiu Yan doesn't know either.
All she could think about was that His Majesty could command the war perfectly.
The horse galloped on.
Qiu Yan was so shaken around that she didn't even have a chance to make a move.
About half an hour later, as they passed a small thicket, Huyan Xun confirmed that no one from Dongjin was pursuing them.
He suddenly pulled on the reins, and as he dismounted, he also pulled Qiu Yan off the horse.
Qiu Yan fell to the ground, managing to protect her stomach intact, and then quickly got up.
She felt that her child had suffered enough with her today.
"The foliage here is lush and the place is very secluded."
"What are you going to do?" Qiu Yan's expression changed.
"Just as you expected!" Huyan Xun swung his large hand, about to step forward and tear open Qiu Yan's clothes.
Qiu Yan hurriedly retreated, and with a swift single punch, she punched the unsuspecting Hu Yanxun, leaving him with a black eye.
"You damned woman, I'm going to torture you properly now!"
In Huyan Xun's view, Qiu Yan, like a wild beast, needs to be tamed.
His greatest skill was animal taming.
This can be seen from the wolf pack in his tribe.
He reached forward with his large hand, gripped Qiu Yan's shoulder tightly, and pressed down sharply.
Qiu Yan is now completely weak.
Her belly was empty, yet the baby was moving violently, so she kept soothing the fetus inside her.
She kept comforting her child.
"It's alright, Mother will definitely protect you."
Due to Huyan Xun's movement, Qiu Yan leaned backward and staggered backward.
As she retreated, she quickened her pace, forcing herself to distance herself from Huyan Xun.
At the same moment, a bullet appeared in her hand.
Just as Huyan Xun caught up again,
She suddenly threw it, intending to kill Huyan Xun with a single blow.
These bullets were made by my younger brother himself; there are six in total.
It wasn't that she didn't use it just now, but rather that with the horse galloping, she simply didn't have the chance.
If she were to force it, she herself would likely be reduced to ashes.
With a loud bang, thick smoke billowed from the branches beside him, and the branches, along with the surrounding soil, scattered in all directions, forming a huge vortex.
Hu Yanxun dodged quickly, but was still injured in the arm by the explosion and flew several feet away, cursing in pain.
He muttered a curse under his breath, "Damn woman!"
They were already extremely wary of Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan was frustrated, wondering why she hadn't managed to blow him up.
She was about to throw another pellet.
However, because of Huyan Xun's swift movements, she had already wasted one, and she couldn't afford to waste any more.
As Huyan Xun stood up, she suddenly drew a hidden arrow from her sleeve, ready to send the man to his death at any moment.
Suddenly, his subordinate moved slightly, and a hidden arrow shot swiftly towards Huyan Xun's wrist.
Huyan Xun, in pain, also raised the crossbow at his waist, nocked an arrow, and drew the bowstring.
Then, he quickly retreated several meters away from Qiu Yan.
"Listen up, you hiding in the shadows! Whoever captures Qiu Yan alive will be rewarded!" Huyan Xun shouted.
Suddenly, a hail of arrows, like a tidal wave, rained down on Qiu Yan's body.
Startled and with no time to look around, Qiu Yan began to dodge rapidly.
She felt that she could be riddled with bullets at any moment.
The worst part was that, looking around, she had no idea where the archers were lurking in the shadows.
She closed her eyes and, relying on her senses, blocked the rain of arrows.
Using his incredible speed, he forcefully hurled the three bullets in his hand into the distance.
The sounds of explosions echoed one after another, while nearby, the cries of the barbarian enemy could be heard everywhere.
As she moved, the rain of arrows around her gradually diminished.
However, she still couldn't determine how many barbarian enemy troops were still in the distance.
Because of the strong fetal movements, Qiu Yan felt she couldn't hold on any longer and longed for the warmth of her bed at home.
Her movements became slower and slower, and the throwing of projectiles gradually decreased until finally, she caught the arrow with her bare hands.
"Let me see just how much you really have up your sleeve," Huyan Xun waved to his subordinate beside him.
"She's out of gunpowder, let's all attack!"
Huyan Xun really wanted to see Qiu Yan's strength.
He had a wicked thought: it would be best if he could get rid of her child.
Qiu Yan dodged left and right.
Upon hearing Huyan Xun's order, the barbarian enemy troops had already dropped their bows and arrows and rushed towards Qiu Yan.
Qiu Yan could not withstand the attack with both fists.
Seizing the opportune moment, they hurled another explosive at the barbarian enemy troops.
The whole process happened in the blink of an eye...
