Chapter 273 Xiao Yanci Falls Off the Cliff
It was a deep voice, with a hint of roughness, and it was pure Da Qi dialect.
The opponent did not attack again, and Ye Hanyi also withdrew his attack, but he remained on the defensive.
"Who are you?"
"Commander-in-Chief of the Zhenxi Army, Ge Xubai."
She had just heard this name in the past few days.
A friend, not an enemy.
She also took the initiative to introduce herself.
"The granddaughter of the King of Western Yunnan, Ye Hanyi."
The surprise in Ge Xubai's eyes grew even more intense. He shouted, "Stop, they're one of us."
The two parties who were originally fighting for their lives immediately stopped, but they were still wary of each other.
Before either side could say anything more, the Qiangdi people caught up with them.
Ye Hanyi and Ge Xubai immediately turned their blades towards the Qiang flute player.
The two men cooperated with each other very well, with each other's swords and blades being sharp and fierce. Within a few rounds, the Qiangdi team was wiped out, leaving only corpses on the ground.
With this revolutionary friendship of common enemy, the slight resentment towards each other's identity disappeared.
They lit torches and were able to see each other clearly.
When Ye Hanyi saw the tall, bearded man in front of him, who looked like a savage, he thought he had seen his father - every time there was a war in southern Yunnan, his father would go out to fight and come back looking like this.
The man spoke first, "Miss Ye, I didn't know your identity just now. Please forgive me if I accidentally hurt you."
The other party clasped his hands together and was very polite.
Ye Hanyi also returned the greeting with a fist-clasp. "I didn't show any mercy just now, so please forgive me, General Ge."
After some pleasantries, both sides got straight to the point.
"We've been ordered to search for His Royal Highness Prince Jin, but the terrain of Broken Cloud Mountain is complex, and we've been searching for many days without success. I imagine Miss Ye is here for this purpose as well. Do you have any leads?"
Ye Hanyi didn't answer but asked, "How many people did you bring? How many troops does Qiang Di have? If you bring the wounded with you, are you sure you can rescue them safely?"
Ge Xubai: "I only brought a thousand men, but they are all elite. I don't know the number of Qiang Di's troops, but I don't think they are too many. They have just experienced a great battle, with heavy casualties, and there are also internal divisions among the major tribes. Now is the time to recuperate, and we won't mobilize a large number of troops to waste time here. If we do find His Royal Highness Prince Jin, I can lead troops to distract their firepower and then arrange for people to rescue him. There is a 90% chance that we can rescue him."
He didn't say anything definite, but his attitude made Ye Hanyi feel relieved.
With such a helper, plus they have plenty of manpower of their own, they will definitely be able to leave Duanyun Mountain smoothly.
Ye Hanyi pondered for a while before telling them their current situation.
Hearing that Xiao Yanci was out of danger, Ge Xubai breathed a sigh of relief.
The master had instructed him to bring His Royal Highness Prince Jin back safely. He had been searching day and night for some time because he didn't want to let the master down.
Ye Hanyi led the way, and Ge Xubai and his party finally found the swamp forest.
One of his men slapped his forehead and said, "I've been here before, but I thought it was a swamp forest and there was no way anyone could hide there, so I didn't go in to search."
Who would have thought that there was a flat area in this swamp forest, covered by reeds.
Ge Xubai glanced at the man with cold eyes, "Go back and accept your punishment."
The man's face suddenly fell, but he didn't dare to refute a word.
Ye Hanyi brought reinforcements, which made everyone excited.
Ye Hanyi asked in a low voice, "Cousin, can he be trusted?"
Xiao Yanci said succinctly, "Ge Xubai is trustworthy."
Only after he said this did Ye Hanyi feel relieved.
"Then we will go down the mountain tomorrow."
Xiao Yanci said, "There is no time to lose, let's leave tonight."
Ye Hanyi was surprised, "Is it so urgent?"
"You fought with the Qiangdi people tonight. I'm worried that something bad might happen if we delay."
Ge Xubai also felt the same way.
After the agreement, everyone started to act.
Under the cover of night, Duanyun Mountain was quiet, with only the rustling of leaves in the wind and the afterimages of nimble figures passing through the treetops.
On the other side, General Zhang Lie of the Zhenxi Army led his troops out of the city and quietly climbed up Duanyun Mountain.
Chu Yian was among them.
Everyone was moving forward carefully when they suddenly heard a sound of fighting coming from the front and several people immediately headed that way.
As soon as I arrived, I heard Ge Xubai's voice, "Leave this to me, you quickly escort His Royal Highness Prince Jin down the mountain!"
Chu Yian's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard this.
It is really true that after searching for a needle in a haystack, it was finally found without any effort!
Zhang Lie led his men forward to help, "Commander Ge, we are here to support you!"
When Ge Xubai saw them, his eyes showed joy.
All the soldiers immediately joined the battle and fought with the Qiang flute people.
Chu Yian chopped down a Qiang flute player who rushed towards him, then quickly withdrew and caught up with the small group of people fleeing westward.
They were guarding a man closely. The man seemed to be seriously injured and was carried on the back of a secret guard.
Judging from his figure, it was exactly Xiao Yanci.
Chu Yian suppressed his excitement, quietly hid his figure, and followed closely behind.
Soon, another Qiang flute team caught up. The secret guards had to protect the injured Xiao Yanci and send other people to fight the enemy. They had to fight and retreat at the same time, which was very difficult to cope with.
Chu Yian chopped down a Qiang flute player, then quickly stripped off his clothes, put them on himself, covered his face with a scarf, and quickly chased after him.
His goal was clear, and he went straight towards Xiao Yanci.
Every move he made was a killing one, showing no mercy. The Qiangdi people thought he was one of their own, and seeing how brave he was, they were greatly encouraged and fought even harder.
The secret guards were protecting the injured Xiao Yanci, but they were greatly constrained and forced to retreat repeatedly.
One person yelled, "Oh no, there's no way forward!"
They stopped. Chu Yian was overjoyed when he heard this. This was really God helping me.
The Qiang flute player behind him rushed forward excitedly, waving his sword.
The secret guard carrying Xiao Yanci had been forced to the edge of the rock. If he took another step back, he would fall down and there would be no way back.
Chu Yian did not rush forward again. He took out the bow and arrow, aimed, pulled the bow, and released the arrow.
The sharp arrow shot out with a whoosh, heading straight for the face of the secret guard.
The man's pupils shrank sharply and he dodged instinctively, narrowly avoiding the arrow, but he failed to protect the person on his back. Xiao Yanci fell directly off the cliff.
"Your Highness!"
Everyone let out a cry of grief.
Chu Yian's heart was filled with ecstasy. If he fell from such a high mountain, he would definitely be completely destroyed and there would be no possibility of survival!
He has made great contributions!
It’s a pity that I was unable to chop off his head with my own hands, nor was I able to leave any token. It’s difficult to prove that it was my contribution.
But right now, he couldn't care less.
Behind him, reinforcements were coming this way. Chu Yian didn't dare to stay for long. He immediately hid his body, quickly took off his Qiang flute clothes and veil, and then pretended nothing happened and joined the reinforcements.
