C55

Yue Chanjuan was galloping like a cool breeze across the prairie. This was the first time she was so unrestrained, galloping through such a vast expanse of heaven and earth.

Facing the wind, it was as if his body was blown away by the wind, and the feeling of flying once again flooded his mind.

"Why isn't Tuoba Fei seeing him?" Should he go back to Great Moon to report back, or was there something else he needed to do? What was Big Moon planning? It's impossible for Lou Lan to not predict that Chun and Rou Ran would not give up.

Everything was just a guess in her heart. Initially, there were quite a few elite soldiers leading her to the Jade Gate Pass. However, compared to the great army that escorted her all the way to the Jade Gate Pass, it was a bit too weak.

If it were not for the matter with Xiao Shan, she would not have thought so much. After all, after leaving the Jadeite Entrance, it could be considered a lonely place.

Even though there were some tribes that refused to respect and did as they pleased, those people did not dare to do too much. After all, they were afraid of the might of the heavens alone.

"I presume that Hen Ran and Rou Ran would rather do everything they can to go to Xiao Shan to kill the marriage alliance team, but they didn't want to stay here and wait. They just don't want to offend him. Since that was the case, since King Lou dared to send envoys to pay their respects, he would not hesitate to offend him. This time, he has sent an important force and is determined to win, but I wonder what the consequences will be. "

He was so preoccupied with his thoughts that he had completely forgotten about the beautiful scenery of the prairie. He stared into the endless darkness with a faint foreboding feeling in his heart.

"Did He Jiahui receive any report from the scouts?"

Yue Chanjuan walked up to He Jiahui, her heart sinking when she saw the worry in his eyes.

"But the horse doesn't turn around?"

"Yes, reporting to Your Highness, the scouts have not come back yet. Your subject has already sent out more scouts to follow the men from the Da Yue branch to scout the road ahead."

"Stop. Since there are no reports from the scouts, I'm afraid there's an ambush ahead. Those scouts have already been killed or captured alive." If we continue running blindly like this, I'm afraid the sheep will fall into the tiger's den. "

"Yes, the princess is wise and wise. This official immediately ordered the troops to stop and discuss other ways with the men of the Great Moon Branch. "Please wait, Princess. This subject shall take his leave."

He Jiahui bowed on the horse, ordering the team to stop moving forward.

One of the Huns galloped back: "Sir Generalissimo, why have you stopped? King Lou Lan's men are just behind us, not too far away. If we were to be overtaken by his army, the princess' safety cannot be guaranteed. "

Yue Chanjuan looked over and saw a person sitting on a red horse. His face was full of smiles and he looked kind. His face was very similar to the Chinese people, probably a mixture of Huns and Chinese.

"Ilimo, the scouts I sent out have not yet turned back. The road ahead is unclear. It would be inappropriate to continue on the same path as before. Is there any other possible path here?

Limitless extended his hand and shrugged his shoulders helplessly, bowing towards Yue Chan Juan. "Limitless greets the princess. Princess, please look. If King Lou Lan's army catches up, it'll be difficult for us to escape. "

Yue Chanjuan looked at her surroundings and saw an empty grassland. In the distance, there were mountains piled with snow. She was extremely unfamiliar with this place. Of course, she didn't know if there were any other paths.

"Illyrimer, the scouts have yet to report back. There must be something wrong with the road ahead. They might have been ambushed by King Lou Lan's army. Since there's no other way, can we find a place to hide for a while? It won't be too late to check out the news ahead."

Illyrio bowed and smiled, "Princess is wise. I have sent people to scout the way ahead but the place is empty now. There is no place to hide." If we go forward, we can get closer to the mountain and temporarily hide. "

Yue Chan looked around and saw that this place was indeed spacious. She could see into the horizon with a single glance, but because there were no lights in this place during the night, her surroundings were dark.

"The mountain ahead shouldn't be too far away, right?"

Not far away, the green mountain was approaching. On the grassland, the bottom half of the mountain was covered in green. From the middle of the mountain, it was spotty white all the way to the summit, completely covered in snow and ice.

"It's not far. Twenty li or so away is the mountain, and we can hide our tracks." "If you are in danger, you can also cross the snow-capped mountain and take a detour between the mountain paths to the Great Moon."

"In that case, let's hide in the mountain ahead."

"Please lead the way." Ilyo bowed.

The group advanced forward. Not long after they advanced, torches lit up from all directions. Countless black shadows suddenly appeared in the gloomy plains. The light of the blades reflected off of the moonlight, and the cold light from them stung the eyes.

"King Lou Lan's army is here. No matter who you are, get down from your horses and tie them up. Otherwise, no grass will be left wherever the army passes."

Yue Chanjuan was startled. Sure enough, there was an ambush. She could not see just how many people there were. The torches were lit and the wilderness was filled with people and horses standing upright. There were only a few hundred people around her, but they were far from being her opponent's match.

With a quick glance, he saw that there were at least two to three thousand people there.

"Are they King Lou Lan's troops?" Zhong Ao Shuang, go and try to get Limitless to communicate with them, don't tell them that I'm here, and see if I can hide anything from them. "

"So they are actually King Lou Lan's subordinates. I wonder why they are here?" This place is not King Lou Lan's territory. "

Ilimo had stepped forward and was shouting.

"Don't say too much, get off your horse quickly and tie them up."

"I am the subordinate of the Great Moon Sect's Solitary Heaven. You dare to assassinate the brave warriors of my Great Moon Sect, I will definitely not forgive you."

"If you don't dismount, then die!"

The other party's cold tone extinguished the last glimmer of hope in Yue Chanjuan's heart. She urged her horse to He Jiahui's side, "The other party is too domineering. When the battle starts later, we'll retreat in the direction we came from."

"Yes, your subject obeys."

In Xiao Shan, facing the sneak attack of the Huns, not only did the princess not show any fear, she even stepped forward to protect the ballista. After that, he was raided by bandits without showing any signs of fear.

Now, they had come up with a countermeasure in this crisis. They could break out and meet the reinforcements of the Solu Xiong Pass. If they went forward, their future prospects would be difficult to predict.

"Sou, sou, sou …"

As the arrows flew towards them, Ilya led his men to charge up and engage in a fierce battle with King Lou Lan's men.

"Princess, let's retreat."

He Guanghui, seeing the other party's imposing manner, knew that he was unable to block this attack. The protector, Yue Chanjuan, retreated backwards, trying to break out of the encirclement.

"Hahaha … With women inside, it will definitely be Princess Wuyou of the Great Keng. Brothers, go and snatch the princess away and make her the imperial concubine of the great king."

Under the moonlight, some people had already noticed the mixed presence of the women in the military and started to clamor.

On the left and right side of Yue Chanjuan, the bodyguards of ZhongAo Shuang and He Ju were rushing towards her.

The Huns, who were blocking her, rushed up from all directions. Yue Chanjuan gripped her sword tightly under her ribs as she was escorted to the left and right of the servants, protecting her in the middle.

At the outer perimeter were the troops and guards of the Huns, followed by the imperial guards led by He Jiahui, and a small part of them were the soldiers of the Jade Gate Pass.

At the innermost area, there was Yue Chanjuan's servant girl, Zhong Ao Shuang and He Dazhui's bodyguards, surrounding her in the middle.

The grass was dyed red with blood, making it even darker. The thick smell of blood wafted in the air, diluting the sweet smell of the grass.

At this moment, Yue Chan suddenly thought of Tuoba Fei. She didn't know where the man who shattered her defenses, penetrated her heart and made her kneel at his feet and bow her head to him was.

There was hatred, gratitude, admiration, reverence, and...

Complicated and inexplicable emotions and feelings intertwined. It was already hard to tell what kind of feelings she had towards that man.

ta, ta, ta … *

The galloping sounds of the horses' hooves were like a drum beating on everyone's heart. A large group of people pressed forward in the distance.

"Who is it?"

He Huohui turned pale with fright. If it was King Lou Lan's men, they would have no way to fight back in front of such an army, much less escape.

Countless torches lit up, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime. Armor filled the sky, and Yue Chan Juan's heart sank. The enemy's army had already caught up and blocked their escape route.

All around them was an army. Despair was spreading in every single one of their hearts. The atmosphere was so heavy that it was suffocating.

Ilyo had already led his men to retract their line of defense, and the other party did not continue their pursuit, surrounding them in the middle.

"My king's army has arrived, and you all no longer have any way out. Dismounting and leaving your horses behind is the only option left to protect your lives."
