Chapter 132 Self-rescue

The nine brothers were sworn brothers and supported each other on the battlefield. The other brothers sacrificed their lives for the lives of the four of them. Today, they were carrying out a small mission, but two of them died in a blink of an eye. This made the fourth brother hate Minglan and the other two in front of him.

But he was the eldest of the four, the most stable and cautious. He knew that the two young ladies were not ordinary young ladies and were good at shooting. Although he was blinded by anger, he did not act rashly. He deliberately kept a distance from Minglan and the other two, ensuring that he would not lose them and was not within Minglan's shooting range. He planned to fight a protracted battle and exhaust the two people's physical strength before she could capture them.

Minglan also realized the intention of the people behind her, which was to drag them down, but she could not think of a way to break the situation in a hurry.

"Ah~~~~~" A series of screams of fear exploded beside Minglan. The girl beside her shook Minglan's hand away and kept kicking something.

Minglan had to stop, "What's wrong with you?"

"Ah!" After a sharper scream, the screams stopped abruptly, and the girl's eyes rolled up and she was about to fall down.

At this time, the fourth brother who had been following them quickly rushed towards them.

Minglan first caught the girl who was about to fall, and then quickly took out two round balls and threw them out. There was a clacking sound in the air. With the previous experience, the fourth brother also dodged in a hurry, but as before, he was still stimulated by the pungent and pungent smell and tears flowed down. He couldn't open his mouth or close his eyes.

But the fourth brother was smart. After noticing something unusual, he immediately lay down and didn't give Minglan a chance to shoot.

Minglan had no time to care about him at this time. The chili and pepper wrapped in wax balls were scattered all over his range of motion. The fourth brother could not recover for a while. But at this moment, Minglan was facing another serious danger.

Looking at the little snake spitting out its tongue and swimming towards her, Minglan's hair stood up all over her body. Only then did she know why the girl screamed and fainted just now.

Minglan and the little snake confronted each other, and neither side dared to act rashly.

The unconscious girl beside her suddenly slipped down from Minglan's arms. As soon as there was any movement, the little snake flew straight towards Minglan's face. Minglan leaned back to avoid it, pressed her left hand on the ground to slightly gain leverage to stand up, and hit the little snake with her right hand. The little snake hit the tree trunk on the side and bounced onto... the fallen girl...

Minglan was startled, and she didn't expect the snake to fall on the girl. She felt sorry and quickly grabbed the dizzy little snake and threw it towards the bushes from where they came.

A muffled groan came, and Minglan was surprised. The snake must have hit the man who was chasing them.

Minglan thought about it again, and was afraid that the man would recover, so she threw a few small balls wrapped in chili powder and pepper powder to that side.

Then Minglan felt relieved and checked the girl's injuries. Minglan lifted the girl's left foot and saw black spots on her snow-white socks in the moonlight. Minglan took off her shoes and socks and saw that her left calf was swollen. Minglan tore off her clothes and tied them tightly above the girl's wound. Seeing the swelling, she was not sure whether the snake was poisonous, but in order to prevent the spread of the poison, Minglan was still on guard.

"Ah!" There was another sharp and rapid cry, but it was not from the girl. The sound came from the direction of the fourth child. It turned out that the dizzy little snake was awakened by the pepper. As soon as it woke up, it opened its mouth and bit, and the fourth child who was closest to it suffered. After being bitten, the fourth child reacted very quickly. He cut the little snake into two pieces based on his feeling.

Minglan heard the sound and her hands trembled. After waiting for a while, she saw that the other party had not moved. Minglan no longer cared about that. She took out the dagger, gritted her teeth, and made two more small cuts on the wound. Seeing black liquid flowing out, Minglan wrapped her hand with clothes and continued to squeeze the wound, trying to squeeze out all the poisonous blood. Unfortunately, it was too dark. Minglan could not see the color of the blood, did not know whether the blood was black or red, and could not be sure whether all the poisonous blood had been squeezed out. She could only squeeze it with all her strength until she was tired and stopped.

During the whole process, the fourth brother did not make any movement. Minglan took a break, knowing that it was not advisable to stay here for long. Not to mention whether the enemy's troops would come after them again, the girl's injuries had to be treated quickly.

Looking at the girl who was still in a coma, Minglan squatted down and carried her on her back, picked up a long branch, and did not continue to go up the mountain, nor did she go to the city. She changed direction and walked down the mountain. In order to prevent wild animals, snakes, insects, rats and ants from attacking them, Minglan used branches to knock on the plants along the way to remind the small animals to run away early.

Qi Heng whipped his horse and galloped all the way. When he reached the outskirts of Beijing, he met a group of people holding torches and going in the opposite direction.

Before they got close, the other party drew their swords, "Who is coming?"

"Qi Heng!" Qi Heng reined in his horse and shouted back.

"Yuan Ruo!" It was Lin Yunting's voice.

Qi Heng seemed to have grasped a life-saving straw, looking across in the light of the fire, "Yunting, is there any news about Minglan?"

The light of the fire was flickering, and Qi Heng could not see Lin Yunting's expression. He only saw him lower his head and be silent for a while, "I haven't found Xiaoliu yet."

Qi Heng heard this, his shoulders sank, a little disappointed, and his worries in his heart became even greater.

Lin Yunting thought for a moment and spoke, "We discussed with the imperial guards and prepared our troops early, intending to send troops to rescue them as soon as the enemy made a move, but who knew that a powerful enemy would appear halfway, and when we arrived after the fighting, Xiaoliu had already been taken away. We chased them all the way, and when we reached a four-way intersection ahead, I led a team of people to chase them, and found traces of the enemy, but they seemed to be deliberately teasing us, keeping a certain distance from us, but we could never catch up. They were all good horses, and at their speed, they would not give us a chance to catch up, but they still deliberately kept us hanging, so I guessed that they were deliberately luring us to chase them, and Xiaoliu must not be in that team."

"Minglan is not in the team you are chasing, could she be in other teams?" Qi Heng asked.

"I thought so too, but I stopped the pursuit and led the team back. But when we got to the fork in the road, I suddenly had an idea. Could it be that the four roads were just a trick, and Xiaoliu was not among them at all?"

"You mean, they are deliberately trying to confuse us?"

"That's possible. Just because I had this guess, I thought about walking back and looking for clues. After all, there are people chasing on the other roads." After

Lin Yunting finished speaking, he heard the sound of horse hooves in the distance. He drove his horse to Qi Heng's side and told his men to be on guard.
