This time, Li Mingfeng failed to cut off the dog's head in time. Instead, due to his injured leg making it difficult for him to move, he was bitten on the other leg by another greyhound and fell to the ground.
Old Dog and the other soldiers had caught up by now, and the north wind in the mountains carried the scent of fresh blood.
Old Dog's heart suddenly skipped a beat: "Damn! Could it be that Fifth Sister bit him?!"
Li Mingfeng lay on his back on the ground, his left leg being bitten hard by the greyhound. He brandished his longsword to drive away the other greyhounds that wanted to come forward and bite him.
But how much of Li Mingfeng's strength can he exert while lying on his back like this?
In a moment of carelessness, another dog bit Li Mingfeng's arm!
The dog shook its head wildly and tore at Li Mingfeng's arm. Even the most pain-tolerant Li Mingfeng couldn't hold back anymore. His painful "Ah!" and the barking of the other dogs carried far away with the wind and snow.
Li Shiyue ran quickly toward the direction from which the sound came, her mind filled with only one thought: "Faster, faster!"
Yes, Li Shiyue has arrived!
Originally, Li Shiyue had grabbed Yan Jiuniang's hand and run down the hillside.
But halfway there, Yan Jiuniang used all her strength to pull Li Shiyue back, begging Li Shiyue not to worry about her and to go help Li Mingfeng!
"In October, my dad must have already figured out that I would run away!"
He must have arranged for a lot of people!
My uncle is only one person; how can he possibly fight against overwhelming odds?
If... if something were to happen to my uncle, how... how would I face my mother and grandmaster for the rest of my life!
Li Shiyue responded to Yan Jiuniang's tearful words with silence.
Of course she knew that Li Mingfeng's trip was a suicide mission. At most, Li Mingfeng's life could be saved if they ran fast enough that the pursuers couldn't catch up!
Because the Prince of Zhenbei needs to find out Yan Jiuniang's whereabouts from Li Mingfeng!
But what can Li Shiyue do in this urgent situation?
Looking at the emotionally charged Yan Jiuniang, Li Shiyue stared into Yan Jiuniang's eyes without saying a word.
Yan Jiuniang knew, of course, that what she was saying was unreasonable and that she was forcing others to do something they couldn't do!
But that's her uncle!
He is her mother's ideal man!
She was the only disciple her grandmaster kept by her side!
So Yan Jiuniang finally spoke to Li Shiyue: "Shiyue, please!"
Would you please go back and save your uncle?
October, please!
You're so amazing!
He can fight eight kings all by himself!
You can definitely save your uncle!
October...please...
Li Shiyue sighed and then chopped Yan Jiuniang in the neck with a chop, causing Yan Jiuniang to faint immediately.
Li Shiyue firmly supported Yan Jiuniang with both hands, turned around, picked her up and ran down the hillside.
She used force to shut Yan Jiuniang up.
Under normal circumstances, Li Shiyue would not have done this.
She would listen carefully to Yan Jiuniang's words, respond to them, and help Yan Jiuniang analyze what the best course of action would be.
but!
They're running for their lives right now!
Behind the hillside are rows of soldiers with rich combat experience!
Even though they had Liu Tan's men acting as informants along the way, and Liu Tan also provided them with so much intelligence and information to help Yan Xuefei and the other two in their operation.
However, when facing real soldiers, and in large groups, Yan Xuefei and her two companions were no match for them at all!
All means are utterly ineffective in the face of true power!
Therefore, Li Shiyue understood that she must not let Li Mingfeng down!
At this point, if she listened to Yan Jiuniang and went back to rescue Li Mingfeng, putting aside whether she could actually save Li Mingfeng, how could she possibly leave Yan Jiuniang behind and run back alone?
However, if she did not agree to Yan Jiuniang's request on the spot, based on Li Shiyue's understanding of Yan Jiuniang, Yan Jiuniang would definitely want to go back and save Li Mingfeng herself.
No, it should be said that Yan Jiuniang would sacrifice herself to ensure Li Mingfeng's safety.
If that's the case, why would they bother with the whole "bride kidnapping" thing?
It would have been better if Yan Jiuniang had obediently followed the orders of the Prince of Zhenbei from the very beginning and willingly married into the Turkic tribe, so that the Prince of Zhenbei could obtain the elixir of immortality to save his life.
The arrow is on the string, and it must be released.
Having already come this far, how could Li Shiyue possibly listen to Yan Jiuniang's childish words at this point?
Therefore, Li Shiyue chose the safest and most effective method—she directly chopped Yan Jiuniang's neck with her hand, causing her to faint, and then carried Yan Jiuniang down the mountain.
After running for a short while, Li Shiyue's exceptional five senses detected that there were people ahead of him.
"October!"
Yan Xuefei's shout made Li Shiyue stop in her tracks.
The two were only about ten steps apart. Li Shiyue jogged over and, upon seeing that it really was Yan Xuefei, she immediately put down Yan Jiuniang, who was still unconscious, from her back.
Then he pushed the responsibility to Yan Xuefei, saying, "...That's how it is. Aunt, keep an eye on Jiu Niang. I'm going back to save Uncle Li!"
After saying this, Li Shiyue turned and ran.
As she ran, she whispered, "Hurry! Take advantage of the snow, don't stop!"
That's why Li Shiyue returned to save Li Mingfeng.
Li Shiyue, who had run over, saw Li Mingfeng, who was already tied up by Lao Gou and the others, ten feet away, and breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, being tied up means I'm still alive!"
Just being alive is good! Just being alive is good!
Standing ten feet away, Li Shiyue took out a porcelain bottle from her bosom, poured out one beauty pill, and then, considering the depletion of her internal energy from her upcoming tasks, poured out another one.
The two beauty pills were drawn from the lottery opportunities given by the system when I did the tasks a few times before.
The beauty pill is said to keep a person looking radiant and energetic for a certain period of time after consumption.
After experiencing it, Li Shiyue immediately took the beauty pill as a qi-replenishing pill, or in the words of the game, the beauty pill was a blue potion!
Eating one pill will allow Li Shiyue to maintain a state of abundant internal energy for the time it takes to drink a cup of tea!
But time really is only enough for a cup of tea!
For Li Shiyue, however, the time it takes to drink a cup of tea is usually enough!
However, this time he was facing a large group of regular troops, so Li Shiyue felt it was best to be conservative and prepare in advance. If he really ran out of strength and internal energy, he could take another pill, which would at least save his life and make him invincible.
Looking at Li Mingfeng's calves, which were covered in blood, and his right arm, which was also stained with blood from his indigo Taoist robe, both of them were already a deep, almost blackish red.
Li Shiyue had been following behind Lao Gou and the others for about fifteen minutes when suddenly, she moved!
