Chapter 280: Defeat without a Fight

"Master, there are enemy troops everywhere outside, we have been surrounded, and now the reinforcements have not come up at all, there is no point in us waiting any longer, according to the advice of his subordinates, the master still comes to a golden cicada to get out of the shell, stay in the green mountains and are not afraid of no firewood, and when the time is ripe, we can make a comeback." A subordinate said bluntly.

"Okay, I know, you go down first, tell a few of them, if you can go, go now, I won't blame them, instead of waiting here for death, it's better to find a way to live, see you later, I am also worthy of your family." At this time, Nalan Qidi finally woke up a little, and felt that he was bent on going his own way, and he had harmed Loulan more than once, and this time it was the worst, and I am afraid it would be difficult to have a chance to turn over.

"Master, where are you talking about this? It is reasonable for your subordinates to obey your orders, and if any master feels sorry for his subordinates, they must also follow you willingly. The subordinate was suddenly a little at a loss, when did the always arrogant Nalan Qidi's temperament change greatly.

"Master, you're alright, we're both late!" said two emaciated men. "You, why are you here?" As soon as I heard the voice, I looked at it carefully, and I saw that these two soldiers were An Xinran and Li Xiuyun disguised as men.

"Back to the master, the two of us just heard the news, it happened that we were traveling in the Western Regions, and we rushed over in a hurry, fortunately we are not too late, you hurry up and change into this dress, disguise, we have time to leave now, and our accommodation has been chosen." An Xinran said confidently.

"Okay, you wait at the door, and I'll come out. Nalan Qidi looked at the dress, and hope suddenly ignited in his heart.

Soon the disguised Nalan Qidi secretly escaped from the camp with the two women. It didn't take long for the generals of the Western Regions to find out that Nalan Qidi was missing, and sent people to investigate everywhere.

The three of them hid and hid all the way, and finally escaped from the grassland. By this time, the sky was already white.

"Master, we are going directly south from here, it is the hills and mountains, Xiuyun and I plan to live there for the time being, although our great revenge has not been avenged, it is already rare to be able to be free. We hope that the master can temporarily forget the enmity and hatred, cultivate himself here, the three of us practice martial arts together, and when the martial arts attainments reach a higher level, it is not too late for us to go out of the mountain, anyway, we will live a full life if we have ideals in our hearts. An Xinran said with a smile. "Your idea is right, I really have no better way out except to live in seclusion now, I can't go back to Loulan, maybe I will go back one day to see, but now it is absolutely impossible. Nalan Qidi squeezed out a wry smile. The three of them stood for a while, not daring to rest more, and went directly south, here is a mountain after a mountain, for them, such a terrain is the most favorable, not only easy for them to hide, but also not to worry about not finding something to eat.

The mountains in front of them are dense and deep primeval forests, and the three of them can't help but be deeply attracted by the dense vegetation and diverse trees, and the trees they have seen should not be few, but the towering ancient trees here really make the three of them shine, and they can't name them.

The three of them carefully walked through the thorny jungle, which was infested with mosquitoes. There are no ready-made paths in the forest, let alone sunlight, and they can't find a place to rest for a while.

Because the dense jungle was full of snakes, lizards and poisonous spiders, the three of them had to be extra careful and did not dare to slack off. The three of them kept walking south, if An Xinran hadn't been able to lead the way, they might not be able to distinguish between the southeast and the northwest for a while.

After walking for a while, the scenery in the forest suddenly changed, and it was much softer and more beautiful than the previous section, because there were green bamboos in the forest, and the bamboo forest was dotted with towering ancient pines and cypresses. Occasionally, a few trumpet flowers bloom wantonly.

A gust of wind blows, the bamboo forest rises and falls with the wind, and the three of them seem to be in a green ocean, and the fragrance of bamboo wafts with the wind, which makes people feel relaxed and happy.

The trees in this mountain forest all look old, some have lived for hundreds of years, and several people can only keep them.

In the woods, there were all kinds of wild grape trees, hawthorn trees, bayberry trees, and wild pear trees, and the three of them were thirsty and hungry at this time. An Xinran picked a few wild pears casually, wiped them with a handkerchief and handed them to the two, Nalan Qidi and Li Xiuyun both took it and took a bite, maybe they were too hungry, they actually felt that this wild pear had a lot of juice in their mouth, and it was very sweet and delicious.

The three of them ate two at once, and suddenly felt less thirsty and less hungry. After sitting for a while, the three of them got up again and headed south.

Passing through the towering primeval forest, I saw a low bush in front of me, perhaps because of the abundant rain, the bushes were very luxuriant, and a little hare hiding here heard the sound, and suddenly rushed out, and frightened the two women to take two steps back, and when they saw that it was a cute little rabbit, the two of them couldn't help laughing.

Although the three of them said very little along the way, the scenery along the way was pleasant, and the mood was naturally good, and they did not have the fear they should have when they fled, because they knew that the pursuers would not think of this, and even if they did, they would not have so much time to come here to find them.

It was getting dark, and the three of them walked away for another day before they knew it. The night dew is heavy, and the night wind blows slowly, which can't help but make people shiver.

The narrow forest path, winding and terrifying. Like a hooked crescent, it is tightly blocked by the surging dark clouds, and only occasionally a glimmer of light shines through the gap in the clouds.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and the branches of the trees made a clicking sound, making people feel that the night in the mountain forest was so terrifying. I was already very scared, but at this time, there was a tomb in front of me, a series of desolate graves, standing in the night wind, like a lonely ghost waiting for the night walker.

"Xinran, I, I'm so scared, can we go the other way?" Li Xiuyun suddenly grabbed An Xinran's arm and said timidly.

"There's no other way, only this one I've walked before, so I won't get lost, and if I get lost here, I'll have to die in it, so they won't venture in to find us even if they guess we're here. An Xinran said with a firm face.

"Xinran is right, we can only take this road now to be the safest, otherwise how can we not see the shadow of the pursuers. When we reach the hills, we are free. Nalan Enlightenment agreed.

After walking a long rough dirt road, I finally came across a small stream that meandered through the forest. The water of the creek was crystal clear, and the three of them couldn't help but hold their hands and drink it. The stream water is cool and delicious, and there is a kind of sweetness and coolness in the mouth, which makes people have an indescribable pleasure in the whole body, and the fatigue of the long journey just now disappears suddenly.

Through the bleak moonlight, you can vaguely see small fish swimming in the water. For those who are hungry, small fish is a rare delicacy.

An Xinran couldn't take care of it much, rolled up his pants and sleeves barefoot, and went directly to the stream to catch fish, they hadn't been late for a day, and those wild fruits could only be temporarily hungry, and now they were hungry again.

"I'll help you too!" Li Xiuyun took a look, took off his shoes, and followed him into the water to catch fish. The two women were chasing the fish in the water, giggling and laughing. At this moment, Nalan enlightenment realized a truth, it turns out that freedom is really more important than anything, and the two women in front of him are the best examples, they used to be fine clothes and fine food, but they are not necessarily as happy as they are now.

Soon the two caught three grass carp weighing more than a pound, and they immediately went ashore, cleaned up the grass carp, and then found some dry wood, set up a fire, and then lit the hay with flint, so that after a while, the bonfire was lit. An happily skewered the three fish together and grilled them on the fire.

It didn't take long for the aroma of grilled fish to waft in the wind, and An happily took down the cooked fish and distributed it to everyone.

While eating the grilled fish, the three of them sighed that if it was daytime, they would not dare to set up a fire rashly, if it were not for the deep mountains, they would not dare, for fear that people would catch up when they saw it, but now they were not afraid, because they knew that they would soon reach their destination, and the people over there did not have time to chase after them, and maybe they would forget them in a short time.

After eating the grilled fish quickly, all three of them felt sleepy and tired, but there was really no place by the river or in the forest suitable for sleeping. "If you're too sleepy, you'll have to climb up a tree and sleep for a while, but you'll have to keep an eye out for snakes. Nalan Qidi didn't feel sleepy at all, but for safety reasons, he suggested that the two of them go to the tree to rest for a while.

Looking at the towering trees around them, the two of them suddenly lost their sleepiness, if they climbed up and climbed down again, I am afraid that the sky will be bright, how can there be time to sleep!" An Xinran said with a strong spirit.

"Hehe, it's okay, the more I sleep, the more I sleep, the more I don't sleep, it's like that, and when I leave this forest, there should be a place to rest. It's not too late to sleep then, there are wolves in front of you and tigers in front of you, and you can't sleep well. Nalan Qidi said with a light smile, he didn't have the demeanor to let the two of them rest, he was on the side, he was the emperor, and it would be a loss of identity to do so, and it would be good if he didn't let others guard him.

The three of them continued to walk forward with the dew, and their trouser legs were already wet with dew, and they already felt that the cool breeze was blowing, but now they felt even more cold, which made people shiver.

However, the road in front of me was getting better and better, and there was a forest path paved with stones.
