Chapter 981 Chapter 981, Escape
The Five Tigers Village was surrounded by King Weiyuan and his soldiers. Everyone in the village was so worried that they couldn't sleep, but the two little guys, Daozi and Zhang Xiaohu, slept soundly.
Daozi knew that his father had come to save him and that he would be able to return home to see his mother soon. He felt relieved and fell asleep on Old Man Li's bed when he felt sleepy.
Seeing that Daozi had fallen asleep, Zhang Xiaohu had nothing to do, so he could only lie down beside her and fall asleep too.
However, in the middle of the night, the second in command came to the backyard angrily with a group of people. When he was arguing loudly with old man Li, the two little guys were awakened.
"Are the soldiers coming up?"
Zhang Xiaohu looked around in panic.
Daozi rubbed his eyes and sat up, saying soothingly, "Didn't I tell you not to be afraid? If my dad really wants to fight me, I will protect you."
Zhang Xiaohu still had a worried look on his face: "But, there are still many people in the village, can you protect them all?"
This really stumped the rice.
At this time, the two heard a quarrel outside the yard.
"Mr. Li, did you know that King Weiyuan had his secret guards sneak into the village and kill many people? Now I want to take that brat to the village gate."
Old Man Li: "What are you going to do with that kid? If you really hurt that kid, everyone in the village will pay for his life."
"You caused today's disaster yourself. Now you want to push everyone in the village into the fire pit?"
The second in command flew into a rage: "Old Li, I respect your age and call you Old Li, but do you really think you're a nobody?"
"This is the Five Tigers Stronghold. I'm the second-in-command, and you have to obey me. Come on, capture that brat for me! I want to see if King Weiyuan can bear to see his son lose limbs!"
Zhang Xiaohu, who was in the room, shuddered with fear when he heard this. He looked at Daozi, who was still confused about the situation, and said anxiously, "Oh no! My second uncle is going to kill you!"
Daozi's eyes bulged out in shock, "Why would he want to kill me? I'm just a child."
Zhang Xiaohu was speechless. "You're the son of King Weiyuan, after all." After a moment's thought, he took Daozi's hand and said, "Come on, I'll take you out through the back door. But you have to promise me that after you escape, you'll protect the people in our village."
"Tiedan and the others already have no father, so we can't let Niudan and the others become fatherless too."
Daozi let Zhang Xiaohu pull her, and soon, the two little kids ran out of the back door of the yard and disappeared into the night.
When the second-in-command's men rushed into the room, there was no sign of Daozi and Zhang Xiaohu.
On the other side, after Daohua sneaked into Wuhu Village with three hunting dogs, their progress was not very smooth. Although a fight broke out at the entrance of the village, the sentries at various intersections did not leave.
Fortunately, with the help of three hunting dogs and sleeping pills, Daohua was able to find the center of the village.
The three hunting dogs sniffed the scent of rice all the way, and not long after, Daohua met the second in command and his group who were also looking for rice.
Daohua quickly hid behind the wall and signaled the three hunting dogs to hide.
"Look carefully for me. A four-year-old kid can't get far."
Hearing this, the rice flowers' eyes flashed. The rice is hiding?
At this moment, a man ran over and said, "Second Commander, this is bad. The people guarding the western intersection have been knocked down."
When the second in command heard this, the head of the village frowned and said, "It must be Xiao Yeyang's men who sneaked in. Hurry, everyone, be quick and make sure to find that brat. Otherwise, if Xiao Yeyang loses his guard, our village will be finished."
The group of people dispersed, and Daohua waited until they all left before continuing to look for rice with the three hunting dogs.
At the same time, Zhang Xiaohu stumbled to the back door of Wuhuzhai, pulling the rice.
Unfortunately, the back door was also guarded.
The two little guys hid behind a rock and looked at the big wooden door at the back door worriedly.
Daozi frowned and said, "How can we get out? We can't open this door."
Zhang Xiaohu thought for a moment and said, "I know Uncle Lin who's guarding the back door. How about I ask him to open the door?"
Daozi glanced at Zhang Xiaohu with disdain: "Are you stupid? If you go and ask him to open the door now, he will definitely know that I am here too."
Zhang Xiaohu scratched the back of his head: "What should I do then?"
Daozi sat down on the ground and said, "Wait, my father will come to find me after he defeats your village."
Zhang Xiaohu nodded and reminded him, "When your father comes, you must remember to protect us."
Daozi patted Zhang Xiaohu on the shoulder: "Don't worry, I will."
Just then, the two heard a noise, and then three majestic hunting dogs appeared in their sight.
When they saw the hunting dog, the two had different reactions. Daozi stood up happily, while Zhang Xiaohu screamed in fear.
Daohua quickly ran over and covered Zhang Xiaohu's mouth, but it was too late. The person guarding the back door heard the noise and looked over here.
"Little One, Little Two, Little Five, go!"
The three hunters rushed over quickly and soon started fighting with the gatekeeper.
"mother!"
When Daozi saw Daohua, he rushed over in joy and said, "Mom, you finally came to save me. I was so scared."
Daohua quickly glanced at her son and saw that he was in good spirits and had no injuries on his body. She finally put her heart at ease and said, "Let's leave here with mother first."
Seeing the back door, Daohua knew that this should be another exit, so she picked up Daozi and ran towards the back door.
There were six gatekeepers in total, and they were entangled by three hunting dogs.
Daohua quickly opened the back door and saw several camels tied nearby. She quickly led one and sat on it while holding Daozi.
Just then, a loud roar came from behind.
"Come quickly, catch him for me."
Daohua turned around and saw that it was the second in command and his men chasing after her, so she quickly rode away on her camel.
"Chase him! We can't let Xiao Yeyang's brat escape."
The people from the Five Tigers Camp wanted to chase after them, but unfortunately the three hunting dogs were too powerful and stopped them directly.
Zhang Xiaohu had recovered from the incident. Seeing that the second in command was still trying to take people to chase Daozi, he quickly hugged his legs and said, "Second uncle, please let Daozi go. Don't kill him."
The second in command was furious. He had never expected that the first in command's son would be the one to let King Weiyuan's son go. He shook Zhang Xiaohu off and said, "Go after him!"
Chu Lang and the two secret guards arrived a step late. After learning that someone had rescued Daozi, they sent a secret guard back to tell Xiao Yeyang, and he took another person to chase after them.
"Mom, can we escape?" Daozi asked worriedly, curled up in Daohua's arms.
Daohua hugged her son tightly: "Yes, your father will come to rescue us soon." She had already heard the sounds of fighting coming from behind. It must be the secret guards catching up.
Knowing that someone was chasing her, Daohua breathed a sigh of relief, but she didn't dare to be careless and kept riding her camel forward.
Daohua realized that the camel was not moving very fast, so she ran forward without worry, thinking that the secret guards would catch up with her soon.
However, as the sky gradually brightened, Daohua began to feel something was wrong.
There is no sound from behind!
Daohua slowly stopped riding her camel and looked back. She didn't see anyone, whether they were from the Five Tigers Village or the secret guards. All she saw was a desolate Gobi desert and the dog Xiaoyi who was chasing her.
