Chapter 258 The culprit! Alien race and disloyalty
Southwest, outside the city of Ba County.
He Zhaojun whistled, and two fine horses came galloping over from a distance, snorting loudly. Clearly well-fed and well-watered, they had been waiting for a long time. She leaped onto their horses, glanced at the flames and smoke rising from the Ba County Governor's Mansion, and without further ado, she chased after Wen Ziduan in the direction he had left that day.
Long Feibai followed closely behind, spurring his horse to catch up. "What are the arrangements in the city? Zhao Kuangguo is a prefect of a county, so he must be no ordinary person."
"My fourth brother stayed behind to clean up the mess. I believe he can capture Ba County. Besides, your medicine didn't really cure Zhao Kuangguo's poison, right?"
Long Feibai nodded: "Yes, judging by the time, the poison should have taken effect, and he can only linger on for now."
The two of them rushed all the way to Jianwei County under the stars and moonlight. Long Feibai only felt bloating and pain in his lower abdomen and broke out in cold sweats. He knew that He Zhaojun was unwell.
"Stop and rest for a while, don't rush anymore!" He wanted to stop He Zhaojun. After all, Wen Ziduan and others were all highly skilled in martial arts, and they could protect themselves even if there was an assassination. However, He Zhaojun had been overworked in the past few days, and her body could no longer bear the burden.
If it weren't for the Golden Phoenix Gu, she would have fallen off the horse in pain. Long Feibai sensed her anxiety and couldn't help but feel jealous.
Because He Zhaojun was worried about Wen Ziduan, she completely ignored his physical condition and liked him so much?
Long Feibai kept telling himself that it was just the effect of the insects, not that he really had any feelings for this girl. She wasn't from the Miao village, so she wasn't even in his mate selection range.
Finally, he reached out and lifted He Zhaojun onto his horse, put his arm around her waist, and ran forward with her: "You rest for a while, I'll hurry up, and then it'll be your turn!"
He Zhaojun smiled gratefully, and the two of them changed trains all the way and ran for an entire night. Finally, at dawn, they arrived at a valley entrance and saw the signal left by the He family's troops.
"There's danger. Disband and hide?!" He Zhaojun dismounted, touched the two marks, and carefully identified their meaning.
At this moment, she took out two bullets, stuffed them into the sleeve arrow, pressed the spring, and fired a flare. The dark blue and light yellow powder drew two long tracks in the air along with the flare.
"What is this?" Long Feibai felt that everything on her was very novel.
He Zhaojun took off the sleeve arrow and threw it to him: "Tie it on your arm to protect yourself." After all, He Zhaojun followed a famous master and practiced martial arts for a year. For an ordinary soldier, self-protection was not a problem, but Long Feibai looked weak and was still a child, so she naturally gave up the sleeve arrow.
Not long after, there was a rustling sound in the grass beside her. He Zhaojun raised her sword and protected Long Feibai behind her.
"Girl-kun, it's us!"
He Zhaojun relaxed when she heard the voices of her own troops. She looked around for Wen Ziduan and asked, "Where is your young master? Why is he nowhere to be seen?"
Several of the soldiers quickly emerged from the bushes and said, "Young Lady, we've been ambushed. The young lord and several mounted generals have led the pursuers away, leaving us to wait here and reunite with you."
He took out a half-broken scimitar and handed it to He Zhaojun: "This is the weapon used by the pursuers. I hope you will make your decision!"
He Zhaojun hadn't figured out what was going on, but she felt the wound on one of the men looked familiar. "It's very similar to the one in Hangsha Village. Not many tribes use scimitars as weapons."
She and Long Feibai exchanged glances and said in unison, "Is it the Qielan tribe?!"
