Song Liyun turned around abruptly and saw a row of black dots appearing on the distant snowfield.
She knew it was the cavalry coming without even needing a telescope.
"Walk!"
Song Liyun mounted her horse.
At that moment, she felt an unprecedented sense of urgency.
Escaping for their lives in the snow was a first for them, and it happened to be their weakness.
The rest of the people quickly mounted their horses, waiting for Song Liyun to lead the way.
But Song Liyun didn't move.
Song Dekui's face darkened, his eyebrows furrowed: "Xiaoyun, if we leave, will Lin Qingyuan and the others come back here? What if we run into them?"
This is precisely why Song Liyun did not move.
When they parted ways in the morning, she and Lin Qingyuan agreed to meet at the prefab house.
If I escape back to the tribe now, and Lin Qingyuan and the others return in a daze, they'll be caught red-handed.
Even if they don't come back, they'll be found by following the hoofprints.
Even if it means dodging this one time!
Without tents and food, Lin Qingyuan and his companions struggled to survive for two days on the snowy plains.
Song Liyun hesitated. If she left, Lin Qingyuan and the others would be in grave danger.
Wu Dan turned to look at the approaching unfamiliar cavalry, and seeing that the young mistress had not moved, he shouted anxiously, "Young mistress, let's hurry back to the tribe!"
Song Dekui said, "Xiaoyun, you go with Wudan. I'm going to find Lin Qingyuan and tell him to hide quickly."
He and Lin Qingyuan had a lot of bickering and fighting along the way. Although they weren't exactly life-or-death friends, he wasn't willing to abandon Lin Qingyuan and just watch him die.
Upon hearing Song Dekui's words, Song Liyun seemed to suddenly wake up. She tugged at the reins and said, "Wudan, Zhemao, you two go with Uncle Kui first. Once you get back to the tribe, have Madam quickly lead men to defend it."
Song Dekui refused: "No, you all go. I'm going to the grasslands to find Lin Qingyuan. We'll definitely come back alive."
At this moment, they could faintly hear shouts coming from behind, indicating that the other side had also spotted them and was hurrying over.
Song Liyun turned to a Di tribesman next to Balin and shouted, "You and Boss Song ride together on one horse and take him away immediately. You must take him to the Wuda tribe."
He then said to Zhemao, "You and Wudan will ride together. Leave the horse behind and go immediately! No disobedience is allowed!"
At this moment, Song Liyun was already furious. Her voice was cold and stern, and an aura of authority enveloped everyone present.
Zhe Mao and the Di people worshipped Song Liyun, the divine messenger, to the core. As soon as Song Liyun finished speaking, the two of them had already mounted their respective horses.
Song Dekui was held captive on horseback by the Di people, and he was both shocked and angry: "Xiaoyun, I don't want to go back, can I stay with you?"
He felt that as an elder, he had promised Da Ping to protect Xiao Yun.
He would never forgive himself for abandoning Song Liyun like that. If something happened to her, he would never forgive himself.
Wu Dan also shouted, "Young Madam, I was sent by Madam, you can't abandon me."
Song Liyun ignored their shouts and instead lashed the rump of the horse Song Dekui was riding with her whip: "Hurry up, the sooner you get to the tribe, the better we can all be saved."
The chestnut horse had never been beaten before. When it was whipped, it let out a long neigh, jumped three feet high, and ran away.
Zhemao immediately urged Wudan to ride away at full speed.
When Wudan realized he had lost the young mistress, he became so anxious that tears and snot streamed down his face, and he howled on horseback.
Suddenly, Song Liyun was left with only Balin and his clansmen, along with three restless empty horses.
Bahrain gripped the reins tightly as he watched the enemy cavalry charging toward him, veins bulging on his neck.
Although he was the strongest warrior in the tribe, he had only experienced a few wolf hunts and fights.
This is the first time I've ever truly faced someone with knives and axes in a life-or-death struggle. My blood is rushing to my head, and I'm no longer afraid.
As the enemy cavalry drew closer, Song Liyun could almost see the face of their leader.
"Old Ba, let's go!"
Song Liyun spurred the horse, and the three of them whipped it and galloped away.
Instead of taking another route, she fled in the direction Song Dekui and his group were heading.
In the Pingshan cavalry, Bawan rode at the very front.
At that moment, he felt a strange sensation.
From afar, he saw that the group of people had split into two groups, and even had three empty horses.
He assumed the two groups were about to separate and flee, so he had already divided his cavalry into two groups to pursue them separately.
To everyone's surprise, the two groups ended up running in opposite directions.
"Catch them!"
"Stop running! Stop!"
"#~……***!"
The Ping Shan tribe cavalry roared and shouted, yelling in the Di language, following Song Liyun and her group for 500 meters.
Song Liyun couldn't understand their shouts, nor did she want to listen. She focused on controlling the increasingly agitated Chrysanthemum Green Horse beneath her.
After a short while, Balin followed closely beside Song Liyun. He looked back at the enemy cavalry that were still 500 meters behind, and then at Song Dekui and his men, who were getting further and further away and almost out of sight.
"Young Madam, what do we do now? Should we lure them away?"
At this moment, he realized that he had been running too easily and was always keeping the same distance from those behind him.
The young mistress deliberately didn't run away; she was covering for Boss Song and his group to escape.
Song Liyun turned around and saw that the other person was still a hundred meters away.
She touched Juqingma's slightly sweaty neck; the effects of the medicine would last for about as long as it lasted. After running for another cup of tea, his speed would slow down.
"Old Ba, let's go slowly, don't be afraid. I'm going to use the animal control device. In a moment, you cover the horse with your hand."
Song Liyun pulled on the reins, slowing the horse down, and tried to keep the rest of the story simple.
