"Third Sister, what are you saying?" Chu Yi said, blushing. "The situation is so urgent right now, why are you talking about such sweet nothings?"
“No matter how urgent the matter, people still need to eat and drink,” Chu Mingyao said. “Look at Miss Meng’s eyes, I can tell just by looking at them. If you don’t do it now, are you going to wait until she returns to the capital before you start pursuing her?”
Chu Yi reluctantly took the basket, slowly walked to Meng Ruliu's horse and held it up: "Miss Meng, you haven't had breakfast yet, have you? These are... pancakes made by my sister."
Meng Ruliu said stiffly, "Thank you for the reward, Your Majesty, but I have no appetite."
Chu Yi glanced back at Chu Mingyao, as if to say, "Look, I've run into a wall again."
Chu Mingyao shook her head and was about to go forward to speak with Meng Ruliu when Meng Ruliu suddenly pushed off the saddle with both legs, stood up, and raised the armor-piercing spike, pointing it in the direction of the giant crab.

Chu Mingyao looked over and exclaimed in surprise, "General, go and greet them! My sister and the others are coming out!"
Meng Ruliu put her hand to her forehead and looked closely. She saw two people holding hands running wildly on the surface of the crab's body, heading towards the giant eagle that was perched on the edge of the crab.
Although they were far apart, the sunlight was bright, and just by looking at their clothes, one could tell that they were Su Wan and Wei Jingzhuo.
“It’s my sworn sister!” she exclaimed excitedly. “They’ve escaped.”
No sooner had she shouted than Chu Mingyao exclaimed in surprise, pointing at Cancer and yelling, "Is that woman in blue who chased after us Zhang Ying?"
"Oh no!" Meng Ruliu raised her armor-piercing cone and pointed it at the crab. "Everyone, follow me and protect His Majesty and the Empress."
The cavalrymen roared in unison, spurred their horses, and charged forward, following Meng Ruliu as they sped toward the Cancer.
