C19 (1/2)

Soon, another person ran over. It was Yang Qiang.

”Marquis, when I went to chase the remaining two people, I discovered that there was an army of Liu Han four miles east of the forest. The bonfire was everywhere and there were at least a few thousand men.”

Xue Yan's footsteps paused as he continued to carry Lu Qing forward.

”We'll pass through this patch of forest at full speed and continue heading west. Yang Qiang, you and a few others can go to the north and drive to the west. We'll meet up tomorrow morning.”

Yang Qiang performed a military salute and entered the dense forest with the others.

Xue Yan's footsteps clearly quickened.

”Xue Yan, put me down. I'm going to look for Han Shuo.”

Lu Qing struggled to get down, but Xue Yan didn't let her go.

”We already found him and told him to leave first. He refused and said he would wait for you.”

Lu Qing smiled. This foolish child.

Sure enough, Han Shuo was stubbornly squatting beside that tree hole. As for Liu San'er, she was looking at him with a helpless expression.

Lu Qing got off Xue Yan and went over to hug Han Shuo. Han Shuo immediately cried, but did not dare to cry out loud.

”It's okay, this is not my blood.”

Only then did Han Shuo stop his crying. He was lifted up by Xue Yan and carried on his back by Liu San'er. Then, he carried Lu Qing and walked into the forest.

The commotion behind them increased, and they ran faster and faster.

They passed through the forest at dawn and found Yang Qiang's group and the widows waiting for them. They looked quite tired.

However, now was not the time to rest. They had to quickly head west. This place was not far from Aunt Zang City. Once they reached there, they would at least be able to obtain the protection of the Liangzhou army.
