Xia Yixin also saw Xia Jingfeng's disheveled appearance at this moment, and her eyes instantly reddened.
With a tightening of the reins, the horse neighed and led the herd through the encirclement.
After his initial surprise, Xia Jingfeng quickly understood what she was about to do, and leaped onto the back of a horse. People from the Northern Martial Clan were natural-born masters of horsemanship.
"Charge out!" Xia Jingfeng roared.
Xia Yixin didn't have time to say anything else and rushed towards the gate of the Governor's Mansion.
Although the gate of the Governor's Mansion was tall and sturdy, it was also made of wood.
Whether it was because they saw the Eunuch's wife riding a horse or something else, some of the Eastern Depot constables didn't even lift a finger and just watched as she rode her horse through the mansion gate and escaped with Xia Jingfeng.
Just then, the thunderous sound of horses' hooves could be heard.
Qi Yu was inevitably distracted as Shen Shaoyang inflicted several wounds on his body, and he felt his internal energy becoming increasingly sluggish with each use.
Only then did he realize that the knife Shen Shaoyang was holding was not his own, but a long black knife that seemed to be coated with a sleeping potion.
Qi Yu couldn't possibly be unaware of who could produce such a potent and rapid-acting drug. His killing intent intensified, and instead of retreating, he advanced, leaving no way out.
Shen Shaoyang clearly sensed the change in the other party; the knife in his hand was indeed Xia Yixin's Shangxie, but with a different name.
When Shen Shaoyang first saw this knife, he was amazed by its extraordinary quality. It was also extremely light and easy to use, making it suitable for close combat. However, even Shen Shaoyang felt that he had only used about 80% of its power.
Shen Shaoyang gradually lost ground.
Looking at Qi Yu, who was already filled with murderous intent, he knew that he wasn't really going to fight to the death today. After being countered and killed three times by Qi Yu, he found an opening and ran away.
"Lord Supervisor?" Gui Ling looked at Cao Anmin (Qi Yu) with concern.
Qi Yu bit the tip of his tongue, letting the pain force him to wake up.
"Chase them! Leave no survivors!" He scrambled onto his swift cloud mount and charged ahead.
The members of the Eastern Depot followed and chased after him. As Ghost Zero rode through the deserted streets on horseback, he still couldn't believe it.
Did the wife of the head eunuch really betray him?
There were quite a few people in the Eastern Depot who shared his thoughts, but they dared not disobey their master's orders.
If they were allowed to escape, the Eastern Depot would be ridiculed in the future.
The Northern Martial Iron Cavalry was already formidable. Although it only had a hundred riders, they had already confronted the Eastern Depot for quite some time outside the Governor's Mansion. Now, with Xia Jingfeng's help, they are even more powerful.
The gates of the capital were quickly breached.
The night is long, the moon is crescent, the autumn wind is bleak, and the cold wind is biting.
However, after breaking through the city gate, the Beiwu Iron Cavalry did not run towards Beiwu. It was more than a hundred miles away from Beiwu, and even if they ran all night, the horses would be exhausted, not to mention that there were pursuers behind them.
So after circling around, the hundreds of Northern Martial Iron Cavalry simply ambushed the people from the Eastern Depot.
The two sides engaged in a chaotic battle at the city gate.
Xia Jingfeng originally wanted Xia Yixin to run first, but before he knew it, he saw her riding her horse straight towards Qi Yu in the midst of the melee.
"Wan'er, come back!" Xia Jingfeng was anxious and wanted to chase after her, but he found that someone was faster than him.
It is Shen Shaoyang.
He mounted a stray horse and rode alongside Xia Yixin, clearing obstacles from her path.
Shen Shaoyang roughly guessed what Xia Yixin was planning: to capture the leader first, and Qi Yu was already poisoned.
Ta Feng and Liu Yun were originally a pair, and there was a connection between the two horses.
Qi Yu gradually felt the effects of the medicine that had been suppressed returning. In a daze, he actually saw the woman riding a horse towards him as a completely different person.
A memory hidden deep in his heart suddenly surged up, as if time had reversed. It was a woman riding a horse towards him on the grassland, her lips upturned, with a shallow dimple.
No.
impossible.
She is dead.
This is an illusion.
Qi Yu shook his head, and when he looked again, the woman less than five meters away from him still had that ordinary face, but he didn't notice the abnormal crack on her cheek.
Instead of retreating, he moved closer, his blade aimed directly at her face. Unfortunately, he was intercepted halfway. He struck Shen Shaoyang in the chest with a backhand, sending her flying instantly. Fortunately, her internal strength was also considerable, and she rolled a few times before standing up again.
Qi Yu's eyes were bloodshot, and when he looked at Xia Yixin, his gaze was not only somewhat dazed but also filled with intense killing intent.
He didn't want to kill her in the first place, so why did she force him to?
Xia Yixin panicked a little. Without bothering to check on Shen Shaoyang's condition, she reined in her horse and turned to run away as planned.
Qi Yu was furious and didn't care about thinking anymore. He rode Liuyun out of the chaotic battlefield, leaving a trail of dust. Little did he know that this was exactly what Xia Yixin had set up.
On the battlefield, to capture the enemy, first capture their leader.
She knew that if she didn't control Qi Yu, things would get very difficult to end tonight, so she immediately increased her horse's speed and galloped away.
Shen Shaoyang wanted to chase after them, but he was entangled by the people from the Eastern Depot. In addition, he had just been hit by Qi Yu's palm, so he was unable to spare any attention.
On the other side, before the Eastern Depot guards, who had lost their leader, could react, they found that their supervisor had disappeared, and the Northern Martial soldiers were not willing to fight and were preparing to take the opportunity to run away.
Just then, thousands of soldiers holding torches suddenly stood up on the city wall.
Xia Jingfeng's heart skipped a beat, but he saw that the soldiers did not raise their bows and arrows.
The people from the Eastern Depot also noticed this amiss and watched the soldiers who suddenly appeared warily. For a moment, tensions rose between the three parties.
Lin Sikong and Cao De, who were hurrying on horseback, left the city gate first.
