He neither tried to persuade Qu Yunmie nor himself. Anyway, the anger of the people of Jinling had nothing to do with him. As for Mr. Xiao's anger... Isn't the king here? As long as the king is here, Mr. Xiao's anger will definitely be directed at the king. It has nothing to do with him.
Hey, the plan worked~…………
Qu Yunmie's sudden action tonight was indeed a whim. He had been keeping a low profile all the way. He just wanted to go over and see if there was really nothing wrong over there. He didn't even think about looking for Xiao Rong. His purpose was to go there at night and come back at night.
But as soon as he set foot on the land south of the Huai River and stood outside the city of Huaiyin, Qu Yunmie's nerves became tense.
His intuition was kicking in, and the murderous aura in the wind had already affected him.
Qu Yunmie sat on the horse, staring at the Huaiyin City in front of him. In the quiet atmosphere, the horse snorted uneasily. Suddenly, Qu Yunmie made a decision: "Bypass Huaiyin and go straight to Jinling. Follow us!"
After saying that, he shouted loudly and stabbed the horse's belly hard. The horse felt the pain and immediately ran away. The small group of people behind him were stunned. Although they didn't know what was going on, they still quickly followed.
On the other side, the private soldiers sent by Yang Zangyi had appeared in the field of vision of Xiao Rong and others, but they had just arrived near Fanliang Lake, a large lake outside Huaiyin City, more than a hundred miles away from the Huai River.
The person leading the way was the leader of the guards, he had been dealing with the Hu people for many years and was quite skilled on horseback. With the cover of woods and lakes, he led everyone to flee forward continuously to confuse the sight of the people behind. However, that group of private soldiers were not there to eat and do nothing, they were soldiers raised by the Yang family to protect themselves, unlike the Yanwei army who were full of good-for-nothings.
The horses were already getting tired, and the pursuers behind were still hot on their heels. This group of people were either carrying cargo or a person. The cargo could be thrown down to reduce the weight, but the person could not be just thrown on the ground. That would be tantamount to sending someone to death.
Xiao Rong gritted his teeth and thought, just hold on a little longer, hold on a little longer. As long as he could get outside Huaiyin City and alert the Shen family army stationed there, he would be able to help everyone escape from this desperate situation.
However, before arriving outside Huaiyin City, he had already heard the sound of horse hooves coming from the front.
Xiao Rong couldn't help but open his eyes wide. If it was the Shen family army that came at this time, the other party was definitely not here to save them, but had received the news and wanted to wipe them out together.
But how is this possible? Shen Yangrui is Sun Renluan's man, it is impossible for him to obey Yang Zangyi's orders.
Could it be that Yang Zangyi has already confessed to Sun Renluan, and these are the troops sent by Sun Renluan.
Xiao Rong's brain was almost turned into a mess, and his judgment was far less rational than in his normal state. Just think about it, with such a short time, Shen Yangrui would not have enough time to send out troops. Moreover, if Sun Renluan knew about this, he would not even have time to save Xiao Rong, so how could he be like Yang Zangyi and insist on killing him.
For Yang Zangyi, he can only be saved if Xiao Rong dies, because in this way Sun Renluan will be forced to stand on his side. But for Sun Renluan, Xiao Rong's survival will save him some trouble, so that things will not reach the point of a life-and-death struggle. If it is really a last resort, he can hand Yang Zangyi over to appease the anger of King Zhenbei. Anyway, Yang Zangyi is his political enemy, not his friend, so the mess he caused will naturally be his responsibility to clean up.
Xiao Rong stared blankly ahead. No matter how good his brain was, it was useless at this moment. At this moment, what they needed most was combat effectiveness.
Finally, after both groups of people had been running forward for a while, the people on the opposite side finally showed up a little bit of their shadow. A man leaned forward and galloped, holding the reins tightly in his hands. After seeing the crowd here, he accelerated again, and his lightning speed was like a lightning running towards them.
The leader of the guards behind Xiao Rong murmured, "My King?"
Soon after, the others also recognized Qu Yunmie. They shouted in surprise and relief, "My Lord! Here comes the Lord!"
Song Shuo looked at this group of soldiers who had been tense and dared not speak all the way. There was only one person coming from the opposite side, but they seemed to see a god descending to earth.
The guard leader was also very excited. He immediately raised one arm and shouted until the veins on his forehead bulged: "The king is here in person! Soldiers, follow me to meet the king!"
In an instant, a large number of responses came from behind. They didn't even say "yes", and made strange howlings like wolves in the jungle. However, the people who were among them didn't feel the weirdness of the howling. They just felt their blood boiling, and their hearts were filled with courage in an instant.
This time is different from the last time. Last time when Qu Yunmie came to chase Xiao Rong, he brought several thousand heavily armored cavalry, and those people couldn't catch up with him at all, so they showed up after a long time. But this time Qu Yunmie brought elite soldiers, and they were light cavalry, so after Qu Yunmie showed up for a while, the people behind him caught up. A small team has fifty people, and a team has one hundred and fifty people. Even if Xiao Rong's guards and mercenaries are added, there are only a little over two hundred people.
There are two thousand people behind them. No matter how you look at it, it is more reliable to continue to escape.
However, Qu Yunmie had once gone deep into the enemy camp alone. If a mere two thousand people could cause him to flee in panic, there wouldn't be so many people following him.
Therefore, even though he saw Xiao Rong, and even his horse had already run to the side of Xiao Rong's horse, he just turned his head and stared at him for a moment. After this brief, frozen-like eye contact, he passed Xiao Rong and rushed straight towards the pursuers behind him. After he left, the strong wind he brought blew on Xiao Rong's face, causing him to subconsciously close his eyes.
The wind passed, and Xiao Rong opened his eyes again. He immediately turned back to look at Qu Yunmie, but he could only see his back as he rushed towards the enemy alone. …
The group of people led by Yu Shaocheng naturally rushed over desperately to kill the enemy, and the guards surrounding him watched this scene eagerly, but did not dare to say out loud that they also wanted to go.
It was Xiao Rong who spoke up again: "You also go over to help the king, take those foreigners with you, and the rest of you follow me. Even if you can't go to the battlefield, you can't become a burden to the soldiers."
Once the guards left, the remaining people were all old, weak, sick and disabled. Song Shu's servants were old and young, and the one who looked the most capable among them was actually the tall Ashu. ...
However, everyone else had left, but Zhang Biezhi was still standing here. Xiao Rong looked at him, and Zhang Biezhi replied with a stern face: "I think someone should stay to protect you."
He was afraid that Xiao Rong would think he was cowardly, but he was really just worried that someone would attack them, although the possibility was small. With only two hundred people, they surrounded those private soldiers who had never seen blood. They could not even find a breakthrough. Qu Yunmie, who was the deepest in the trap, was like the god of death. He did not even bring the Xue Yinchou Spear, but only used an ordinary long sword to take away many lives.
Gradually, there was no one around him, so who would dare to approach him and commit suicide?
Xiao Rong did not mock Zhang Biezhi. Seeing that he was so self-aware, he was quite relieved: "Okay, then you stay and protect them. I'm leaving."
As he said this, he knocked Zhang Biezhi off his horse, then turned his horse around and rushed towards the temporary battlefield behind.
Zhang Biezhi: “…………”
If you leave, who will I protect? Who among these people is worthy of his protection?
Xiao Rong was still worried. He suddenly felt unwell before, and it was around the time when Qu Yunmie set out to come here. This meant that something bad would happen to Qu Yunmie here, but what would happen? What could happen on the battlefield?
It's nothing more than an injury. Swords and knives have no eyes. Xiao Rong didn't even dare to think about what he would do if Qu Yunmie was injured.
Right before his eyes was an ancient battlefield with real swords and guns. If Xiao Rong had not been worried about Qu Yunmie, this war would have left him with an indelible psychological trauma. Knowing about it was one thing, and seeing it with one's own eyes was another.
