"General, let's go out of the city first, right?" A soldier with a tired face said to Xuan Qiu.

"You go first!" Xuanqiu's eyes were fixed on a gap, and he didn't turn his head back.

"No, General, we'll stay and cover you, you go first!" The soldier's voice was a little anxious.

"This is the order"

Before the order was finished, Xuan Qiu was already knocked unconscious by the soldiers on the side.

Although this soldier looks about the same age as Xuan Qiu, he is only twenty or thirty years old, wearing a black armor, the armor style is not old, it seems that he has not been in the army for a long time, the black armor has been cut by the sword in many places at this time, revealing the bronze skin, and the hideous wounds are rolled with flesh and blood, and there is not even a trace of bandaging.

Seeing that he knocked Xuan Qiu unconscious, the other five didn't show any reaction, and some even patted him on the shoulder approvingly and showed him a relieved smile.

The other five also looked quite embarrassed, with some wounds on their bodies, apparently having just gone through a vicious battle.

The most seriously injured soldier even lost an arm, and the wound was hastily bandaged, but his face was already very ugly, his lips were white, and he didn't even have the strength to stand, and he was still supported by his comrades next to him and barely straightened up.

These five men were the same soldiers who had previously entered the imperial capital with Xuanqiu, and they were wanted by the Emperor of the South Wind after Xuanqiu's plan to take Graniwin with him failed.

On the Emperor's orders, all the guards turned their weapons against their former rulers.

Thanks to Xuanqiu's eleven personal soldiers, they were able to get out of danger, but they still lost five brothers in this breakthrough, and eleven of them were killed or wounded, leaving only six people today.

These six people can be said to be loyal to Xuanqiu, even under the temptation and coercion of the Nanfeng Emperor, they still did not give up their loyalty, and they used their blood to save a glimmer of life for Xuanqiu.

At this time, they were hiding in the cellar of a tavern, which was an eyeliner for Xuanqiu in the imperial capital, and now it was the best place to use it as a place of refuge in this most dangerous time.

However, hiding like this is not a long-term solution, the Emperor of the South Wind has already blocked the whole city, and sent five thousand guards to search for Xuanqiu throughout the city, and it is only a matter of time before this place is discovered.

The best thing to do right now is to leave immediately, and it will only be more difficult to escape later.

However, the wise and martial generals of the past still refused to leave at such a moment, and the helpless soldiers had to knock him out and take him away.

Actually, they still don't understand their generals. Although Xuanqiu has lost his mind many times for the sake of Graniwin, at such a moment, he will definitely not be a person who is bent on going his own way.

The most dangerous place is the safest place, in Xuanqiu's plan, the guards left in disguise first, and he sneaked into the palace to hide first, and when the wind was quieter, it was easy for him to leave the imperial capital alone.

But his thoughts were nipped in the bud before he could say it, those loyal soldiers had already made a choice for him, undoubtedly this choice was not the best, it might take many lives, but in the end Xuanqiu would definitely be safe.

In the hearts of the soldiers, it was a pride to exchange their sacrifice for the general's life, and they were ready to let one of them disguise himself as Xuanqiu, and the three escorted, and let the lightly injured person sneak out of the city with Xuanqiu from a farther way.

Undoubtedly, such a method seems very feasible on the surface, but it is undoubtedly a self-defeating trap for the deep-thinking Nanfeng Emperor.

The Emperor of the South Wind had already laid heavy troops on the two roads they had chosen, just waiting to catch the turtle in the urn.

In the cellar, the light was dim, and the light that let in slightly through the cracks eased the dull atmosphere, and Xuan Qiu had already been knocked unconscious after showing signs of waking up for the third time.

The soldiers are waiting for an opportunity, and fleeing at night is undoubtedly the best time, they are waiting for the sun to go down, waiting for the sky to darken, and the night will be their best umbrella.

The Windy City was exceptionally silent at night, and today the Windy City was enveloped in a murderous atmosphere, and before the sun set, the people of the city received a notice from the Empire that a curfew would be imposed in the coming month, and no one could go out after dark.

Such regulations made the already deserted streets even more deserted, and the empty streets were deserted, except for the rustle of leaves in the evening breeze, mixed with a few birdsongs, which made it even more desolate in the cold.

In this rustling sound, the group divided into two directions and moved forward silently.

They were none other than Xuan Qiu and his men, these soldiers who were originally wearing armor had taken off their original battle armor and changed into the clothes of ordinary people, and the wounds on their bodies were also bandaged, looking no different from ordinary people. It's just their dark eyes and keen insight that highlight their extraordinary.

The group of seven people was divided into two waves, Xuanqiu was carried by a soldier on his shoulders and hid in a hidden alley corner, and the remaining five soldiers, one of whom changed into Xuanqiu's clothes, put on a big hat and was protected by the four of them in the middle towards the direction of the city gate.

Before leaving, their eyes met those of the soldiers carrying Xuanqiu, and both sides nodded and left.

Just now, they waited until the sun went down to make sure there was no movement outside, and then left the cellar, stopping and walking all the way, and then avoiding a few patrolling guards before coming to this corner. This corner is a demarcation point for their trip, and after they are separated, they will face different risks, and whether they can successfully take Xuanqiu away depends on tonight.

It was as if even the God of Creation was watching over them, and tonight the moon was obscured by dark clouds, and even the stars were barely audible, so the night was so dark that they could barely reach out on such a street, but this also reduced the risk of their exposure.

Everything went very smoothly, the soldier with the least wounded took Xuanqiu all the way can be said to be unimpeded, and their plan was to take a long detour out of the city by water.

At this time, the night wind was very cold, although the soldier had been running, sweat had already soaked his clothes, but in the night wind he was still shivering with cold, fortunately, as a soldier, his iron will has always supported him, despite the thin clothes, he still did not slow down the speed of running.

Soon he seemed to hear the sound of the water in the distance, and when he got closer, he could jump into the river and swim to the other side to meet the team outside the city.

Thinking of this, the soldier tightened his shoulders and carried Xuanqiu, and ran towards the river more and more vigorously.

On his back, Xuanqiu, who had been knocked out four times, trembled slightly, his brows furrowed slightly, and the whistling wind made his head start to hurt, and he realized that he was actually moving, and his mind echoed his own experience, he opened his eyes suddenly, swept in all directions, and then withdrew his gaze and put it on the soldier who was walking on his back.

If the soldier had been a little alert at this time, he would have noticed that the general on his back had woken up, but as he got closer and closer to the river, all his attention was on the way, and he had long forgotten that his general might wake up.

"Stop!"

A hoarse male voice rang out in the night.

The soldier's footsteps stagnation, due to the previous speed was too fast, with the stop of the footsteps, his body still couldn't stop rushing forward, his body stumbled and fell to the ground, sensing something unusual, Xuanqiu jumped off the soldier's back with a flying body, and then reached out and grabbed the soldier who was about to fall to the ground, pulling him up from the ground dangerously.

The soldier, who had long been ready to fall to the ground, still closed his eyes tightly after Xuan Qiu grabbed him, as if waiting for a heavy fall.

However, the impact he had hoped for never came, and after a few moments, he opened his eyes.

As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw Xuan Qiu, who was blue with an iron face, looking at him, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly took a step back and took back his hand.

Seeing Xuan Qiu's face, he knew that their general must be angry, and as soon as the soldier wanted to explain, his mouth was covered by Xuan Qiu, and then his body was pulled, and then a few dodged and hid in a bush.

"No one! Are you sure you hear the human voice? ”

"I'm sure there's someone talking. The voice is still a little familiar, it must be the commander of Xuanqiu! ”

"Okay, don't talk about it, it's not like no one! You must have heard it wrong! ”

"No way, it's his voice."

"I think you want to make meritorious service and want to go crazy, it must be that you have a lot of cold wind, and your brain is confused, and now after you make such a fuss, even if you are really the commander of Xuanqiu just now, you will have already run away."

"Is it my hallucination? No way? One of the guards scratched his head and asked embarrassedly at the other.

Hearing his words, another guard said with a smile: "It's definitely your illusion, don't worry, even if Commander Xuanqiu wants to leave, he will definitely take another way, it's not our turn to make meritorious contributions, Your Majesty is really right, just hold that road, and send the same force to ambush here, I think it's in vain." After listening to his friend's complaints, the previous guards also felt that it made sense and nodded frequently.

His opinion was supported, and the guard smiled proudly, patted the other guard on the shoulder, and said, "Let's go, find a windless corner to sleep in, I can't bear to stay up all night like this!" ”

As the footsteps faded away, Xuan Qiu let go of the hand that was tightly covering the soldier's mouth. The soldier gasped deeply several times, and cold sweat had already broken out on his forehead. At this time, his heart was full of fear, to know that if he appeared rashly with the general just now, he would definitely be caught, if the general didn't wake up, then the consequences of thinking of this He thought of his companion in another way, and his face was full of worry.

As a general, Xuan Qiu was very accurate about the thoughts of his subordinates, even if he didn't ask this soldier, he already knew the whereabouts of the others.

Without giving the soldier time to be surprised, Xuanqiu left a sentence to follow me and took the lead in returning to the original way, the soldier who was left behind opened his mouth to say something, but he gave up after the last and walked towards the same place after Xuanqiu.

At the gate of the imperial capital of the South Wind Empire, four soldiers surrounded a man dressed as a soldier, hiding in a dark corner under the city tower. After half a ring, two of them took the lead in taking the lead, preparing to deal with the two guards under the city tower, and then directly opened the city gate and went out.

Outside the city gates, a thousand-strong guard was lying in ambush outside the city gates, and they were ordered by His Majesty to kill anyone who forced them out of the city.
