Fortunately, this person was in good health to begin with, and despite all that, he didn't suffer any hidden injuries.
Zhao Yong knew him, and the two hit it off immediately. Because his injuries had not yet healed, he stayed on the mountain for three more days. As soon as he was able to get out of bed, Gu Siyan was thinking about the Xiongnu and Xianbei, and he wanted to set off before he was fully recovered.
Qi Qi didn't really find it interesting to stay on the mountain, but seeing him like this, he couldn't help but advise him to rest for a few more days. When that didn't work, the three of them went down the mountain together.
This mountain was a desolate mountain isolated from people. With Zhao Yong leading the way, Qi Qi thought that it would take some effort to escape again. Unexpectedly, as soon as they came down the mountain, they encountered a group of twelve lightly armored cavalrymen running towards them from the foot of the mountain.
Gu Siyan and Zhao Yong had already made preparations, but they didn't expect that the group would just pass by. They had just breathed a sigh of relief when the other group returned.
Just as Qi Qi was pulled behind Gu Siyan, the sergeant at the front of the group rode up on his horse with a cold face and said sternly, "The one in the skirt at the back, come forward."
Gu Siyan said coldly, "Sir, my wife is introverted and most afraid of meeting strangers. Please don't take offense."
The sergeant's face was cold, but his tone was quite good: "We've come looking for someone, with no ill intentions. We can tell whether it's him or not with just one look. Have your wife come forward and take a look."
Gu Siyan's expression darkened further upon hearing this. Seeing that his hand was already on the knife, Qi Qi quickly grabbed his hand and whispered, "Gu Siyan."
Gu Siyan brushed Qi Qi's hand away, not even glancing at him, and said, "Don't even think about it."
Qi Qi: "...??? I haven't even said anything yet!"
Gu Siyan scoffed, "The place you used to be wasn't a good place. Stay by my side and I'll guarantee you a worry-free life."
Qi Qi became anxious: "But I,"
Zhao Yong was completely bewildered, not understanding what they were talking about: "What does this mean?"
The cavalrymen ahead had already noticed something was wrong, and all twelve of them came over and surrounded the three of them: "We are acting under orders, young man, please do us a favor."
Gu Siyan nudged Qi Qi towards Zhao Yong, saying, "Brother Bing, are you trying to force me to do something I can't accept?"
After saying that, he took the lead and stabbed the horse with his knife. Zhao Yong, half protecting Qi Qi, also pulled out his knife.
Qi Qi was speechless. Fine, fine, you're the male lead, you're the best. You dare to fight twelve cavalrymen head-on before your injuries have even healed, completely disregarding whether Zhao Yong and I are capable or not, right?
Seeing that Zhao Yong was also fighting three against one, Qi Qi was speechless.
The cavalrymen didn't target Qi Qi. Qi Qi realized they were probably Huangfu Yi's men, so he obediently squatted to the side and watched the battle. When he saw that the two men's attention was no longer on him, Qi Qi made eye contact with one of the cavalrymen and blinked to give him a hint.
