Huaiyu is slightly cool

Outside the exit of the secret passage, the three of them fought in a scuffle. From the sword light and sword shadow at the beginning to the direct punching and kicking later, it is unknown who was hitting whom, but the three of them suffered more and more injuries.

The blood from Zhou Huai's wound flowed more and more with her movements, but her movements were still swift and fierce.After being blasted out of the fighting range in Wuliang City, he even started to fight Linghu Jiquan, fighting for life with injuries.

Linghu Ji's fist hit Zhou Huai's injured shoulder, piercing the broken arrow on her shoulder into her body, and then piercing through.

Zhou Huai gritted her teeth, the sweat on her forehead dripped on her eyelashes, and then was thrown away with her movements.She didn't care about anything, she just punched and punched Linghu Ji's chest quickly and accurately.

Wu Liangcheng stared blankly at the side, and was awakened by the sound of hooves of galloping horses coming from a distance, and after only one glance over there, he yelled fiercely: "No! Shoot the arrow! Shoot 'em! Don't kill them and let them escape."

Zhou Huai and Linghu Ji punched each other, and dodged the flying arrows, took the opportunity to look at the place where the sound came from, and recognized the person coming from the rain.

What came was an army of three to 400 people, black horses in black clothes, approaching here like a dark cloud cover, and the muskets and guns in each man's hand and Zhou Huai's "Huai" flag proved that it was Zhou Huai who came. Huai's private army.

Those people also saw the situation here, speeded up again, but did not approach, but stopped a hundred steps away, and began to shoot from the whole team outside the range of the archers.

The bullet flew out of the chamber, flying like a fiery snake, wailing everywhere it passed.Seeing the opportunity, the blood-clothed guard immediately stepped forward, guarding Zhou Huai's surroundings, and broke through with Zhou Huai under the fire support and suppression of muskets.

Linghu Ji was the first to wake up from the chaos, pulled a corpse beside him as a shield, and chased after him without hesitation.

But it was still a step too late. After receiving Zhou Huai, those people turned their horses' heads, and the tail of the team became the head of the team. Zhou Huai, who was guarding the middle, quickly retreated towards the city gate.

The eldest princess got the news again that the South City Gate was opened by the inside and outside, and Zhou Huai was let go, and then followed by the fourth prince Wu Liangcheng, Linghu Ji and others.

The eldest princess who had just entered the secret passage thought for a moment, ordered to strictly guard the palace gate, then led people to change the way, and chased after the south gate.

At this time, the entire capital city was covered with troops running through the rain to search for 'fugitives'. Fortunately, it was a rainy day, and there were no people on the streets, so there was no need for yamen servants to come out to maintain order.However, the screaming and fighting troops going out of the city still made people in the capital panic.

The doors of the common people's houses in the capital were closed tightly, and on the official road outside the city, where the people and horses of Zhou Huai and Wuliang City crossed the border, there was a tragic trace left after the fight, guiding the direction of the eldest princess.

In the middle of the night, the wind, rain, thunder and lightning had stopped, and a white mist formed in the wilderness.

In a small village a hundred miles away from the capital, Zhou Huai joined another support army. After the team grew to 700 people, Zhou Huai finally felt more at ease.

She took off her coir raincoat and bamboo hat and wet clothes, took out the wound medicine and dry cloth after a quick shower, changed her dressing and bandaged herself again, drank the decoction prepared by her subordinates to dispel cold and nourish blood, and then fell asleep.

At this time, on the official road, Linghu Ji and Wu Liangcheng looked at the intersection, and the soldiers continued to pursue in two groups.

After half an hour or so, another group of people came to the fork crossing. From a distance, the torch held high was like a fire dragon with no tail, and the sound of the horse's hooves was particularly loud in the sound of insects in the surrounding fields. Loud, the leader is the eldest princess.She glanced at the two roads in front of her, and then looked up into the distance.The light of the torch that could be seen before has disappeared, but the sound of arrows, crossbows and muskets can still be vaguely heard from the two roads ahead.

The eldest princess reined in the horse and gave an order: "It's not easy to walk at night, so send someone to explore the road ahead. Then send someone back to the palace, and pass my order to mobilize a thousand imperial guards, bring guns and ammunition, and drive overnight." Come over to help. I will go to a nearby farmhouse to rest first, and we will talk about everything in the morning."

In the night sky after the rain, there are only a few stars hanging, and all the hustle and bustle has been quieted down with the night.But Zhou Huai, who was sleeping soundly, didn't know that the village where the eldest princess rested was only three or four miles away from where she was.So when the day was bright, the scouts of both sides found the other party's troops.

The numbers of the two sides are equal, but in terms of individual combat power and weapons and equipment, Zhou Huai still has the upper hand, but Zhou Huai does not like to fight.So, after a period of turmoil, the state of yesterday continued - you chased me and ran.

In the afternoon, the rain started to fall again.Zhou Huai, who was running away, was drenched and exhausted, and his wound burst and bled again, but he still couldn't get rid of the pursuers, and the guards around him had changed several rounds.

It wasn't until Zhou Huai's horseshoe stepped over a suspension bridge first, and the broken guards destroyed the wooden bridge deck with blades and kerosene, and the two sides shot each other several rounds of arrows across the bridge before they stopped helplessly.

Zhou Huai took a few breaths, looked at the eldest princess who was glaring at him angrily, smiled and asked the guards next to him to shout in unison: "I am so disappointed in you, eldest princess, I am not dead yet."

There was a moment of silence on the other side, and a dozen or so soldiers in armor stood up and replied in unison: "You can't escape."

"Why do you have to die?"

"If you refuse to help me, I can only make a deal with him."

"That's still my fault?!"

"Some things can't be judged right or wrong, but killing you alone can save the world, so it's worth doing."

"That's right. So, I'm right to run away."

"Zhou Huai, too many people have died because of you, it's time to end."

"It is true that many people have died. Some of them were killed by me, died to save me, and were shot innocently, but so what? I am not a good person, why should I pay for it? In fact, you don't need to find What reason. If you can kill me, I will admit it."

"Okay!" The eldest princess responded, and immediately sent an order: "Detour and continue to chase."

Zhou Huai watched the men on the opposite side turn around aggressively and headed in another direction.She didn't think the eldest princess would just give up like this, so she immediately asked someone to take out the map to check.

After a while, Zhou Huai and his party mounted their horses again and continued westward.Zhou Huai breathed a sigh of relief when he walked until dark and saw no pursuers behind him.But when he was about to give the order to find a place to rest, he heard horseshoes clattering and running as well as people screaming and shouting.

After a while, a sentry came back to report: "Master, on the hillside about a mile to the left, the eldest princess and her party were ambushed by men in black."

"Explore again." Zhou Huai raised his eyebrows, and after giving the order, he took advantage of the sound of the rainy night and the darkness to cover up, and quietly sneaked in that direction with people.

Halfway through their journey, the scouts had sent back more detailed information: "Master, I can identify the man in black with his figure, weapons, and accent. The most likely person is from the Zhao Kingdom. There are about [-] people in the archer kingdom. Most of them. There are more than [-] or [-] people around the eldest princess, and they should be ambushed while dividing troops to chase me."

"Mo Ziqi!" After Zhou Huai gritted his teeth and said the name, he took the reins and turned around twice in place, watching the guards who had only a hundred or so people left after two days of fighting, ordered: "Full speed!" Go forward and rescue the eldest princess."

"Master, absolutely not!"

"That's right, master, it will be difficult for us to leave if they come to support us."

"Master, many of us have already died."

"I know your loyalty." After Zhou Huai finished speaking, he raised his hand to appease everyone, and then said seriously: "I'm just worried that what if her reinforcements arrive late? I don't want to take risks, so I have to save her. As for You..." Zhou Huai took out the jade fish and handed it to the people around him: "Take this and go back to the northwest to find Shen Hui."

After everyone looked at each other, they got off their horses and knelt in front of Zhou Huai, blocking the way back.

"The master is still wounded, please leave first. The subordinates can save them when they go back, and they will definitely complete the mission to the death."

Zhou Huai hesitated: "You go, she won't believe it, I must see her safe with my own eyes."

After finishing speaking, Zhou Huai beat the horse and bypassed the crowd, and ran towards the place where the sound came from.

Zhou Huai asked his subordinates to tie branches to the horse's tail, pretending to be a massive rescue team.The team was divided into two teams, one virtual and one real, one team attacked and harassed the men in black, and the other team took the opportunity to save people.

As a result, they ran into a search and patrol team of one hundred people from the eldest princess.

Zhou Huai wanted to turn around and leave, but it was too late.Looking at the group of people surrounding him, Zhou Huai finally stopped his eyes on the eldest princess who had just broken through, and tentatively said, "This..."

The eldest princess looked at her from a distance: "You can capture her without a fight, and I can spare your life."

Zhou Huai licked his peeling lips, and said with a stiff smile, "I should have saved you just now!"

"It was my people who came in time. However, I can still spare your life."
