220 Shameful to Stick Together, So Choose to Stay (2/2)
”In any event, those disciples of Great River Kingdom Black Ink Garden had come to aid Yan Kingdom under the Divine Hall's edict. How come those cavalrymen of Divine Hall were not willing to lend a helping hand?”
Ning Que touched his face that was full of bloodstains, thinking with regret that there were actually some people who were more shameless than himself in this world. He still underestimated the shameless degree of the world after all.

The advent of the cavalrymen of Divine Hall also caused a great impact on the Horse Gang. Although the cavalrymen obviously did not intend to aid the camp under the meadow, the Horse Gang was deterred not to take any reckless action for those over 100 well-known Apologetic Divine Forces. Therefore, the Horse Gang started to retract in the battle and several Gang leaders quickly rode back to the meadow for their next instructions.
In the face of the pressure of the cavalrymen of Divine Hall, the Horse Gang suddenly became nervous. One of them asked for instructions in a trembling voice. ”Your Excellency, we can't fight against Divine Hall's cavalrymen. We'd better retreat now. Even if we can kill those people in the camp, I'm afraid it will be adverse to the general when Divine Hall later finds us involved in this matter.”
The Horse Gang chief indifferently looked at the cavalrymen of Divine Hall in the distance. His emotional laughter came out from his cloth mask. ”They want to wait until both sides are defeated and wounded? After so many years, cavalrymen of Divine Hall only learned these petty tricks. I really don't know why they have such a big reputation.”
Then he looked at his subordinate beside and said calmly, ”Even if we were all dead, how could Divine Hall find out our identities? Won't you scratch out your entire face before death?”
This time, the Horse Gang leader led his troops to attack the food team. One of his important purposes was to torture all these Horse Gang men to death. He naturally would not cherish the lives of his subordinates. As for the cavalrymen of Divine Hall in the faraway meadow, he did not fear them at all.
It was said that Apologetic Divine Forces of Divine Hall were the most elite cavalry in the world. But he, as an important figure in the Imperial Border Army, did not consider the opposite side at all. Even if there were strong men of cultivation hidden among them, in the current situation, the opposite side should not be determined to stop the battle at a great price.
”Go down together.”
The Horse Gang leader gently lifted up the reins, with his boots lightly kicking the horse's belly, and then slowly went down to the meadow.

One moment ago, Ning Que was ready to escape. In this moment, Ning Que saw the arrival of the cavalrymen of Divine Hall and thought he no longer needed to escape. The next moment, Ning Que saw the shamelessness of the cavalrymen of Divine Hall under bright armor and decided not to escape.
The cavalrymen of Divine Hall on the meadow just blocked the best route for his earlier fleeing plan. But that was not the main reason why he had decided to stay and fight with the girls of Great River Kingdom.
If the cavalrymen of Divine Hall rode horses to aid them at this time, the Horse Gang, who had been exhausted and had many casualties, would definitely be defeated. However, there would be fewer casualties among over 200 people in the camp. The reason why the opposition chose not to aid now was that those cavalrymen of Divine Hall and those unknown noble people valued their lives much more than these Yan militia soldiers, in addition to some reasons he temporarily did not know for the time being.
Divine Hall was famous for its universal brightness, but actually acted so shamelessly. Although he might sometimes act shamelessly, he was still ashamed to be concluded as the opposite. Moreover, he was very clear that these cavalrymen of Divine Hall were all subordinates of Prince Long Qing. And he and Prince Long Qing, no matter when, could only be against each other.
And his precarious instinct toward the Horse Gangs still existed. He still felt that someone was indifferently watching him. Before the Divine Hall's eyes, he could not get rid of this precariousness and had to erase this emotion.
Ning Que walked to the horse carriage and looked at a big package quietly resting on the carriage board. He frowned and thought the Divine Hall people above the meadow were looking here. So he decided not to use Primordial Thirteen Arrows. Because according to Second Brother's viewpoint, the person who was worthy of his Primordial Thirteen Arrows in the Wilderness should be strong men like Prince Long Qing at least.
He pulled out something that was tightly wrapped in a coarse cloth and looked like a stick. At this time, of course he should take life-saving things with him.
”Can you still use the talisman?”
Ning Que looked at Mo Shanshan's pale face and asked.
Mo Shanshan looked up at him as if looking at the Horse Gang who was regrouping opposite them. She did not answer him, but slowly raised her right hand, with a slightly yellow paper held in her two thin fingers.
Ning Que's eyesight fell on the thin yellow paper in her thin fingers and then continued to say, ”This time we should cooperate well and be fierce enough.”
Mo Shanshan took back her gaze, with her eyelashes quietly resting on her white skin, and then she nodded.
Ning Que jumped out of the horse carriage and reached out his hand to wave at Cat Girl. He said, ”It's meaningless to leave water for this moment. Go prepare a bucket of clean water for me.”
Cat Girl felt puzzled, but still went to prepare the water according to his words.
He took the Big Black Horse to walk to the camp's periphery.
In the beginning, his pace was very steady and slow.
Gradually he sped up.
Then he scurried.
He turned his body onto the horse's back and pressed the horse's belly with his legs, urging the Big Black Horse to rush out like black lightning.
Just like an arrow, he rushed straight toward the Horse Gang chief, who had just rushed down from the meadow.
His boxwood bow string lightly vibrated.
An arrow moved forward.
