Not only Nan Mo noticed Xu Zhi's dark face, but Chu Mu naturally saw it as well.
[Looks like I'll have to bring a burden with me again this time. If this guy gets caught, he'll definitely be hung on the city wall.]
There was no expression on Nan Mo's fake face, but his Adam's apple under his collar rolled slightly.
Are the beauties in the Central Plains as kind-hearted as Chao Mu?
Chu Mu put on the stranger's robe without hesitation. The warm, thick fabric made him feel comfortable. "Little brother, how's your riding?"
"I'm not young anymore." Nan Mo's first words were a rebuttal, "I'm twenty years old, and I'm old enough to get married and start a family."
"That's my younger brother too." The original body was in his twenties, so there was nothing wrong with saying that. "Stop talking nonsense. Do you know how to ride a horse?"
"...My riding skills are okay." For a boy who grew up in the frontier, riding a horse is as normal as drinking water and eating.
"Then take me for a run." Chu Mu waved the knife in his hand, "I'll lead the way, and you just watch the road."
The two people's conversation as if they were the only one around completely infuriated Xu Zhi.
"How dare you!" The extremely handsome Duke Zhenguo clapped his hands on the armrests, and instantly wood chips flew everywhere. "Stop them!"
"Get on the horse." Nan Mo blew a whistle, and the Arabian horse neighed loudly, raised its front hooves and let out a long breath.
"You go first." Chu Mu pushed Nan Mo to the horse's back with one palm, and also sent Da Huang over.
He used his lightness skills to fly over everyone's heads like a swallow.
He did not draw his sword, and when the dark mass of soldiers tried to block his way like a flowing wall, he had already crashed into the crowd.
He held his sword across his chest, blocking the spear that was advancing towards him.
"Xu Zhi!" Chu Mu, facing blades in front and behind, still had the leisure to shout loudly, "He accepted your kindness and willingly served as your slave for many years. He was your knife to kill and your shield to block swords. You bound him with a vague love and affection, making him never say a word even when subjected to humiliation."
More spears stabbed from behind, and Chu Mu shouted: "Ha——"
He pushed the human wall with unstoppable momentum and broke through the flow before the swords and guns behind him could pierce him.
Nan Mo spurred his horse towards him: "Hurry!"
Chu Mu jumped on his horse and said, "Run!"
The imperial guards continued to surge in like a tide. Chu Mu shattered the ring-handled broadsword that he had snatched away, and the blade flew everywhere.
"Ah—my eyes—"
The soldiers closest to the target were accurately shot in the eyes. Those in the front row suddenly fell down, tripping and knocking down those behind them who had no time to recover.
"Chao Mu!!" The screams and cries of pain almost drowned out Xu Zhi's fury. "If you leave Xiadu today, I will issue a death warrant! Our friendship ends here!"
"Hahaha!" Chu Mu laughed out loud, "Chao Mu was already dead when you ordered him to be taken to the Ministry of Justice. You're talking about love with a dead man? Zhenguogong, are you crazy?"
"Archer!" The voice of the Hidden King sounded quite excited.
This time he did not say that he would spare Chu Mu's life, and the arrows flew towards him like raindrops.
【Gravity shifts.】
Chu Mu no longer showed mercy and directly used the refraction weapon from the interstellar plane.
A faint light flashed by, and all the flying arrows turned around and shot back at the crossbowmen.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh——
"ah!"
Screams were heard everywhere, and the archers were almost killed by the arrows they shot themselves.
"It's a punishment from heaven!"
An official from the Ministry of Justice fell to the ground in despair.
"God's punishment! Chaomu was wronged!"
"Your Majesty—" The white-haired old man stumbled over and hugged the Hidden King's legs, "Your Majesty—you can't kill anymore!"
"He's spreading rumors to confuse the people!" The Hidden King kicked the old man away and said, "Chase him!"
However, the imperial guards hesitated when they saw the bodies of people they had shot to death.
Chu Mu, who was on horseback, noticed this scene: [Eh, it seems that playing tricks would be more effective.]
【Then I'll give you a big one. 】
A piece of yellow talisman paper appeared out of thin air in Chu Mu's hand.
Nine Heavens Thunder Art.
A Taoist magic weapon from the psychic plane.
Rumble.
The huge thunder almost resounded through the sky.
The group of imperial guards who were just about to muster up the courage to catch up were frightened to the ground again.
Zizizizi—boom!
Several flaming lightning bolts descended from the sky, crossing the entire road and burning a line of fire on the ground.
"Heaven's punishment..." The soldiers dropped their weapons one after another, their fighting spirit gone. They knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Lord Heaven, please calm down!"
Faced with such a strange phenomenon, King Yin really couldn't say the words "playing tricks".
One bolt in particular landed almost at his feet.
King Yin retreated several steps in fear and fell to the ground.
It was because of this delay that Nan Mo had already jumped over the palace gate of the royal city on his horse.
He waved his whip and asked as he galloped, "Why did it suddenly thunder?"
Nan Mo didn't see Chu Mu burning the magic spell, so he was just a little surprised.
Why does the beauty say she wants to play tricks one second, and then there is a real thunder the next moment?
However, the fact of controlling lightning is really beyond comprehension, so Nan Mo has not yet doubted it.
"God has pity on me." Chu Mu's laughter lingered in Nan Mo's ears, and he felt his ears were a little hot and a little itchy.
"Ahem," Nan Mo coughed dryly twice, "Where are we going next?"
"Leave the city all the way," Chu Mu pulled the lame yellow dog back from the brink of falling, "Don't look back."
He temporarily used the Nine Heavens Thunder Art to intimidate the crazy couple, Duke Zhenguo and King Yin, but this intimidation would definitely not last long.
If those two were to react, there would definitely be more trouble if they tried to leave the city again.
Chu Mu is not afraid of things, but he also doesn't like to torture himself. When there is the best option, he would of course choose the simple and easy way.
Nan Mo nodded and tightened his grip on the whip: "Hold on tight! Go!"
…
Xu Zhi's reaction was even faster than Chu Mu had imagined.
Before the thunder had completely stopped, heavy rain suddenly began to fall from the sky.
The rain slid down his hairline, wetting his eyelashes and nose bridge.
Xu Zhi seemed to have just woken up from a dream. He suddenly drew his sword and said, "Pass my order, close the city gates! The Xiadu Imperial Guard will move out immediately and hunt down the fugitives day and night. Anyone who disobeys my order will be killed without mercy!"
…
"drive!"
The Ferghana horse was a companion that Nan Mo secretly brought into the capital of Xia. During this escape, it ran wildly and displayed its strength without reservation.
Before the order to close the city gates reached the city guards, Nan Mo had already fled out of Xiadu with Chu Mu.
The pursuers behind them did not give up and tried to catch up as quickly as possible by following their horses' hooves.
However, the sudden heavy rain quickly washed away all traces, and at the fork in the road five miles outside the city, they had to stop and discuss how to act separately.
At this moment, Nan Mo actually had no clear direction in front of him. He just stared at the road ahead and rushed towards the deeper rain...
