The soldiers following behind looked at the red-armored girl's back, which was some distance away from them, and couldn't help but sigh, "If only I could follow a general like that."
Having served in the military for so long, the Huo family father and son were among the best fighters in the camp, but even so, they were no match for this young girl.
Tents were scattered all over the grassland. Huo Xiaolong subconsciously thought that Da Nier must be in the very center, so he spurred his horse and rushed out first. He grabbed his knife and overturned the tent, but there was nothing there. Inside, there was only a chair covered with wolf skin.
"Fourth Prince, Xiao Lanyi has sent people over. We should retreat first."
Just then, Yalanfeng uttered the words about subjecting Da Nier to extreme torture, and he glared fiercely at the dark-skinned girl who was smiling at him.
"Take her with you."
The man then helped his subordinates up to the girl and said...
"You really think they came to save you? They're not of our kind, do you really think they're sincere towards you?"
"Yalanqing, don't forget that the grasslands and the Central Plains have a nearly century-long feud, or even longer."
"When we return to the capital, your fourth brother will definitely treat you well."
Looking at the man in front of her who was constantly trying to win people over, Da Ni'er thought to herself, "To be honest, my fourth brother has been taught quite well by the Grand Preceptor over the years. He's even learned how to sow discord."
Unfortunately, the wrong target was chosen.
Why aren't the two of them here? Wang Dani'er's hands and feet were untied, and two guards tried to drag her out of the tent.
Huo Xiaolong stood in the middle of the tent, numbly swinging his sword to kill the enemy. For the first time, in both of her lives, the red-armored girl knew what fear felt like.
The brothel taught her to love people and the world, but the young girl didn't know how to deal with fear.
"Wang Tianci!" Huo Xiaolong shouted as he chopped.
The scream shook the heavens and the earth. The Xiongnu who were besieging the girl didn't know what she was shouting, and were only frightened by the sound and took two steps back. Hou Xiangxiang was protected by the girls and finally reached the girl's side. Looking at her sister who was extremely worried and numbly wielding her knife, she didn't say anything, but just followed closely behind her.
Hearing this shout, the dark-skinned girl being dragged raised an eyebrow at Ya Lanfeng and said, "Fourth Brother, you guessed wrong."
"Fourth Brother, my saviors have arrived."
After saying this, Da Nier used all her strength to flip over, snatched the dagger from the guard's waist, and lunged at their throats, then shouted back.
"Huo Xiaolong!"
Before Yalanfeng could think any further, she was swept away from the tent by others.
Huo Xiaolong had imagined their reunion many times, but he never expected the dark-skinned girl who was usually so lively and playful with him to be tortured like this. Da Ni'er had already used all her strength to kill the two men, and now, exhausted, she collapsed backward.
The dark tent suddenly shone brightly from the top the moment the girl fell, just like when Da Ni'er first saw Granny Wang that year.
The two young women, clad in red armor, rode into the tent. The moment Huo Xiaolong saw her, he dismounted and took her into his arms.
"Da Ni'er," Huo Xiaolong called out.
The girl's voice was choked with emotion, and her eyes were red as she looked at her, which left Da Ni'er somewhat at a loss.
"Why are you crying? I'm alive, I just suffered a little," the dark-skinned girl said weakly.
Hou Xiangxiang followed closely behind, sobbing as she bandaged Da Ni'er's wounds. Da Ni'er had already started wailing, saying between sobs...
"How did you get hurt so badly? You wait here, I'll chop her up for you in a bit."
Huo Xiaolong added that he took out a sesame seed cake from his bundle and fed it to Da Ni'er. The two girls worked together, and the dark-skinned girl was truly hungry; after a few bites, she said...
"Is there any water? And two more ginseng pills, please."
"What are you doing? You can't just eat that stuff randomly, it's bad for you if you eat too much," Hou Xiangxiang said.
Da Ni'er struggled to get Huo Xiaolong to help her up and said...
"I have to go after my fourth brother."
"And then what?" Huo Xiaolong felt that this matter was not urgent. The person had been rescued, and the priority was to allow him to recover from his injuries.
"He bullied me like this and that's it? I have to kill him."
The red-armored girl pouted and said...
"Then let the little girl heal your wounds, and I'll go in your place and bring back his head to avenge you."
After saying that, Huo Xiaolong stood up and walked out, throwing Da Ni'er onto the grass, much to the chagrin of the dark-skinned girl, who said behind him...
"How am I supposed to vent my anger if you help me kill her! I'll do it myself! I'll go myself! Little sister, hurry up and give me two ginseng pills. I want to kill him before he gets too far."
"Does he really have to go by himself?" Huo Xiaolong turned around and looked at Da Nier, who was lying on the ground and had regained some strength.
"You have to go yourself."
"You can still take one ginseng pill. You took too many before, and your blood is rushing upwards. I've finished bandaging your nails and applied anesthetic. It shouldn't hurt when you hold a weapon now. Long'er, take her there." Hou Xiangxiang instructed from behind the two of them.
The girl in red armor nodded resignedly, picked up Da Ni'er from the ground, put her on a horse, and rode with her.
Huo Xiaolong walked in the direction his girlfriends had pointed, asking questions as he went.
How do you know they'll definitely take this route?
"Because we used to run around here often when we were young, this road is the shortest way back to the capital."
“I told you I’d kill him for you, and look at him, he’s vomiting blood from all the jolting.”
Wang Dani, standing behind Huo Xiaolong, spat out another mouthful of blood. It was from when she bit her fourth brother's ear earlier, not her own blood. The dark-skinned girl reached out, picked up her friend's red cloak, and wiped it off, leaving Long'er with a look of disgust.
She's already so badly injured, just bear with it.
Just bear with it and it will pass.
The girl in red armor let out a long sigh, squeezed her legs tightly around the horse's flanks, and exerted a little force with her right hand, making the horse run even faster.
