After being a widow for half my life, I found out that my husband was not dead.

Following Yan Mu's words, the soldiers stepped aside one after another, and a carriage appeared behind them.

Xie Shengmao took a deep look at Yan Mu, then walked to the carriage and whispered something.

"He has a low life, and he is indeed not afraid of death."

This sound was obviously Han Zhao.

Yan Mu smiled and said: "You cut mountains and rocks, forged military status, hid prisoners, and killed people indiscriminately, all for the Fire Qilin, but you have been busy for the past few years, but you still haven't succeeded in refining it!"

Xie Shengmao narrowed his eyes, "How did you learn about the refining method?"

"Oh, of course it's because I have this ability!"

"Don't think that I don't know. You are deliberately stalling for time, waiting for the King of England to lead his troops to rescue you." Han Zhao said while hiding in the carriage.

Yan Mu narrowed his eyes, "You can see clearly."

"Give up. The King of England has been targeted by our people. He can't escape from this mountain, let alone move reinforcements."

"Oh?"

"So you just obediently hand over the method of refining the Fire Qilin. You are not afraid of death, but you are reluctant to take Liu Yunxiang's life, right?"

Yan Mu sighed, "A man must protect his woman."

"So don't think too much. As long as you teach us the refining method, we will spare Liu Yunxiang's life. As for you, you have to die!"

Yan Mu lowered his head and smiled, "Okay, you go prepare saltpeter, charcoal and sulfur."

Xie Shengmao narrowed his eyes and said, "Everything is ready-made and will be brought to you right away."

"I want to extract the saltpeter myself. All I need is the raw stone and a cauldron."

"No, it's a waste of time!"

"I think you have tried countless times in the past few years. Why didn't you succeed? Have you never thought about the reason?"

Xie Shengmao was dubious, but he couldn't make a decision, so he looked at the carriage.

"Prepare as he asked, but Yan Mu, once dawn comes, and you haven't refined the Fire Qilin yet, the first person I want to kill is Liu Yunxiang!"

Here Liu Yunxiang summoned everyone to put out the fire, at least until dawn.

"Will someone come to rescue us at dawn?" an old woman asked.

Liu Yunxiang nodded, "There must be!"

There is no other way at the moment. We can only work together to put out the fire first.

Liu Yunxiang looked at Yan Mu who was surrounded by Xie Shengmao's people in the distance. He stood in the firelight, as if one person could hold up the sky.

If he failed, she would die with him.

"When daybreak, if the reinforcements haven't arrived yet, take advantage of the chaos and flee." Liu Yunxiang turned to tell his brother.

Liu Yunheng frowned, "What about you?"

"I'm with him."

"No, it's too dangerous!"

"If he lives, I can live. If he dies, I can't live."

Liu Yunheng looked at his sister with a look of determination. He gritted his teeth angrily and said, "Why do you fall in love with this person?"

"But it just happened to be him."

Yan Mu extracted the saltpeter and did not immediately refine the fire unicorn. Instead, he soaked the saltpeter and extracted it a second time.

This step confused Xie Shengmao. He had been monitoring Marquis Jing'an and the others in refining the Fire Kirin, but he had not taken this step.

"Are you trying to trick us on purpose?"

Yan Mu hummed, "Aren't you very confident that the reinforcements won't arrive?"

"Of course, this is my territory!"

"So, what are you worried about?"

Xie Shengmao coughed dryly, stood up and looked at the sky in the east, "It's you who should be worried, because it's almost dawn."

Yan Mu continued to extract the saltpeter unhurriedly, without any panic or fear. Seeing him like this, Xie Shengmao felt unsure.

He walked back to the carriage and whispered: "Young Master, he won't be prepared, right?"

Han Zhao was lying in the carriage and snorted coldly when he heard this: "Him? How can a prisoner be prepared? He just waits for dawn."

After saying that, he turned to pinch the chin of Haitang who was beating his legs on the side, with sarcasm flashing in his eyes: "Speaking of which, he is still your guest, so what do you think of his abilities?"

With a cute look on her face, Haitang slapped Han Zhao's hand away and put it softly into his arms, "I hate it, what kind of ability can he have? Young master, you are the most capable."

"Oh?"

"Last night, you really messed me up."

"My master is in a good mood now. Do you want to beg for mercy?"

"His life and death have nothing to do with me. I only want you, young master."

Hearing this, Han Zhao sneered coldly: "She is indeed a prostitute, so heartless."

Haitang lowered her eyes and cursed in her heart: "You haven't seen my ruthlessness yet, don't worry, you will have a chance!"

Han Zhao closed his eyes and was about to recover for a while, when Xie Shengmao suddenly shouted in panic: "Young Master, it's not good, someone is coming with an army!"

"What!" Han Zhao sat up suddenly, "Where did the army come from?"

"I see the word "Lin" is written on the flag. It should be the garrison of Linzhou!"

"Linzhou? Someone brought by the King of England?"

"The King of England was seriously injured. Even if he could get out of the mountain, he would not be able to reach Linzhou."

Han Zhao thought for a moment and then thought: "Oh no, we have fallen into a trap!"

The sound of carriages came together, and a group of people came over like black clouds. Yan Mu twitched the corner of his mouth, poured all the ingredients into the pot, and then kicked them away.

"Kill him first!" shouted angrily from the carriage.

Officers and soldiers immediately gathered around him. Fortunately, the army arrived quickly, and the scene immediately became chaotic, so no one insisted on holding Yan Mu away.

Xie Shengmao still had the courage to fight, but when he saw the leader, he panicked.

"Young Master...the person leading the troops is...the Queen!"

"Emperor, Queen?"

"Yes, what should we do now?"

"What should I do? Naturally, I have to introduce someone to resist the charges."

"Spoon, what do you mean?"

"Brother-in-law, my sister is still waiting for you below, so I feel sorry for you to go and accompany him earlier!"

The next moment, the sword flashed, and Xie Shengmao had already lost his life before he could figure it out.

Han Zhao frowned, turned to Haitang and said, "You can survive if you can follow, but don't expect me to protect you!"

After saying that, he jumped off the carriage.

Haitang pouted, "I want to survive, so I need your protection, you idiot!"

However, she still followed.

Han Zhao glanced back, and sure enough he saw the queen sitting on a tall horse. She was still wearing the coarse cloth dress from before, and her hair was in a bun. She was as simple as a peasant woman, but she looked no more like the queen of the dynasty.

But she is the queen, and she is also a once famous female general.

And Han Zhao also recognized that she was the attendant with the veil beside Liu Yunxiang.

There were so many clues in his mind that he couldn't understand them at the moment. He had no choice but to escape first. He must not let the Queen's people catch him. If he didn't let the General's Mansion be caught, he would be inseparable.

He killed the two officers and soldiers who came up, and then ran towards the forest.

Haitang followed him, running and shouting: "Master, wait for me! Master, someone is chasing me but I'm not here! Master, help me!"

Han Zhao naturally ignored her, killed the two people who caught up with him, and continued running down the mountain. At this time, more people blocked him, and he killed them with his sword, one at a time.

A cold light flashed in Haitang's eyes, and a dagger appeared in his hand from under his sleeve, and when Han Zhao was unaware, he stabbed him.

I'll let you see my ruthlessness!
