Gu Yunxi with Xiaoshen and his wife led ten guards in plain clothes, riding the horse day and night. In the evening, they approached the boundary of Jinmen.

The sun fell gradually, and the heat of the day dissipated slowly. The wind was right on the faces, with a smell of salty seawater.

Gu Yunxi slowed down the horse, took a deep breath, and felt refreshed,

"It should be the port ahead. Let's go to find out if there are merchant ships passing through the Wei Sea. As long as we give them enough money, asking them to take us on a journey shouldn't be a problem."

The girl rested her hands on her forehead and looked around, full of confidence.

Xiao Xiaoshen looked around and reminded,

"Be careful. With the imperial edict, an official ship must be on standby to Kunhuang Island in the port. We can't let them know our identity."

"Okay, I'll ask later. Everybody, speed up and follow me."

Gu Yunxi was energetic and took the lead. There were colorful and magnificent colors in the sunset, shining through her almond eyes.

As soon as they saw the barge in the port, a group of people suddenly rushed to the ferry from a hundred meters away, instantly surrounding Gu Yunxi and her partners.

"Gosh!"

Xiao Xiaoshen hurriedly reined in his horse, and the team stopped in place.

Even though they had weapons on their waists, they couldn't draw them.

It was just because that the facial features of those people were not difficult to recognize although they wore casual clothes.

If they weren’t the first squad led by Ai Qing of the Eastern Depot, who can they be?

Gu Yunxi looked annoyed and watched the ring of encirclement fall apart in front of her eyes. Then Cheng Wanli came, dressed in a brown jacket with narrow sleeves and buttons down the front. He stood in the middle of the encirclement with the first, second, and third captains.

"Oh my God!"

Secretly amazed, Xiao Xiaoshen dismounted his horse swiftly and looked at Cheng Wanli's big black face with a dry chuckle. Then he muttered,

"Master, you... are so nimble."

His own master deserved to be Chiliarch of the Eastern Depot. He, the apprentice, might be not a patch on the speed at which he took shortcuts and caught people.

Before meeting Qinger in this life, Xiaoshen was most afraid of his master Cheng Wanli. After meeting Qinger, he thought he was most afraid of his wife.

However, today, he felt that his master was actually more terrifying than his wife.

Cheng Wanli watched Gu Yunxi and Qinger dismount slowly and reluctantly. He finally rested assuredly.

Turning around quickly and glaring at Xiao Xiaoshen, Cheng Wanli immediately shouted,

"Get on your knees—"

Xiao Xiaoshen was agile and quickly bent his knees without resisting.

Seeing her husband being punished, Qinger threw the horse rein and knelt on the ground. She squinted resentful at Cheng Wanli and explained,

"Don't blame him. I forced him to leave."

"It was me. It was my idea!"

Only after Gu Yunxi finished her words, Zhao Wuji jumped from Chiliarch to the girl and chattered,

"Why are you so obstinate? Uncle Three loves you so much, but you actually cheated me so that I was scolded!"

Despite the complaints, Zhao Wuji did not mean to blame Gu Yunxi. His sullen state mainly showed his love and care.

Gu Yunxi grabbed Zhao Wuji's one arm and swayed to please him,

"Sorry, my dear Uncle Three. I know I'm wrong this time. After I return to Jing City, I will make ten bowls of tomato marinated noodles for you to make an apology. Is that Okay? This time, please take me to Kunhuang Island."

Zhao Wuji left his options open and said nothing. He kept winking at Gu Yunxi, motioning her to beg Cheng Wanli.

Gu Yunxi nodded lightly and immediately came to Cheng Wanli. She was about to kneel but was stopped by Cheng Wanli.

With a change of expression, Cheng Wanli sighed and said earnestly,

"Madam Yun, you are too irrational! You just take these people out. If something goes wrong, how do I explain to Concubine Yu and the Master?"

This girl was backed by Concubine Yu in the Palace, and she was considered the Master's fiancee. Cheng Wanli thought that he could not bear her kowtow.

Gu Yunxi immediately made a deep bow and then straightened up. She smiled fatuously,

"Hey, Uncle Cheng, don't get angry. Think about it. You took the order to leave the capital with three tribes and leave me alone in the Eastern Depot. Is it safe? Besides, the Master went to Southern Jiang by boat from the Wei Sea. When he returns to Wei Sea after he wins in Southern Jiang, he will be able to see me earlier, right?"

Cheng Wanli sighed, not knowing how to answer.

Zhao Wuji smiled with arms akimbo,

"Hehe, Chiliarch, since everyone has come here, take her with us. This girl has changed her face and is eager to wait for our Master to come back and praise her."

Gu Yunxi glanced back at Zhao Wuji, blushing amidst the bursts of snickers.

"Fine, go to explain to Concubine Yu by yourself after returning to Jing City."

Cheng Wanli leaned his palm against his brow helplessly, indicating that he agreed with Gu Yunxi's request.

The girl was overjoyed and thanked Cheng Wanli and Zhao Wuji a lot. Then she helped Xiaoshen and his wife up by herself.

Three tribes assembled and boarded five official ships in batches.

When boarding the deck, Qinger was busy taking care of Gu Yunxi and accidentally hit a seaman.

Seeing that the man staggered violently and almost fell, Qinger felt embarrassed and repeatedly bowed her hands to him,

"Dude, please forgive me. I'm so sorry."

The man kept his head down. His face couldn't be seen clearly, and his behavior was extremely dull.

He said nothing and walked towards the stern totteringly.

Qinger tilted her head and stared at the person who was leaving. She frowned and then went after Gu Yunxi.

——

In Southern Jiang.

On July 12, the gate of Xuede City opened. 150, 000 Bo Ku soldiers went northward to the base camp of Da Yi Army.

The Northwest Army, Center Army, and Lang Army deployed and prepared to fight with all their strength.

The central Qinghu was the front vanguard. The soldiers, except for their weapons and armor, were covered with a wet handkerchief on their faces this time with only two eyes exposed.

This drenched napkin contained special herbs, which could resist the toxicity of Kylin Smoke.

There was no change of generals, nor one-on-one singles. When the Bo Ku Army's weapons were all pointed towards the sky, the fierce battle immediately began.

In the melee, a woman in armor rode on a red horse and fought hard in the continuous battle.

She had a machete in each hand, which refracted a strange light in the fierce swing. She didn't wear a battle helmet, leaving her slightly curly hair flying like a black flag in the wind.

Under her command, the 20,000 Lang Armies were powerful. The exuberant howling in their mouths continued, as a vast of tidewater. Then in the midst of chaos, they lifted their swords in their hands and killed many Bo Ku Armies.

The horses rushed, and the earth trembled. From all sides were shattered armor, withered battle flags, and corpses.

"Go!"

"Go!"

"Go. Go—"

The battle became fiercer, and the soldiers of Da Yi were excited.

in the rear, Leng Qingtang looked at the woman on the red horse with a far-sighted mirror, and couldn't help but admire,

"Lang Mucha, a woman, is as excellent as her male peers. The strength of Lang Army cannot be underestimated."

The commander in chief of Bo Ku Army could have a clear view of the battle on the tall chariot.

Assisted by Lang Army, now the Da Yi Army was like a tiger with wings, which would be extremely detrimental to Bo Ku if this battle continued for too long.

He raised his hand and made a gesture. The officer aside noticed it, turned around, and raised the flag to signal to the armies in the rear.

The formation of Bo Ku was quickly divided into three teams, and a muffled sound rushed from the back of Bo Ku.

The thick yellow sand overflowed the phalanx, and hundreds of elephants appeared at the front of Bo Ku Army's rear phalanx.

At this time, the five chariots blew up the horns, seeming to issue a certain order to the group of elephants.

The group of elephants raised their heads, with their sturdy trunks up in the air. Roars pierced the sky.

The syllables of the horns changed suddenly, and the elephants stirred their big ears and went straight to the battlefield.

Before they were sent to the front line, they had been specially trained to attack the soldiers of Da Yi in bronze armor.

With the sharp white ivories raising, soldiers of Da Yi were thrown into the sky one after another. With a flick of trunks, soldiers were swept out a hundred meters. As an elephant’s legs fell, two or three soldiers were trampled on into mud.

The Da Yi Army had never encountered such a situation of fighting against fierce elephants. The elephant's skin was surprisingly thick and couldn't be injured by a knife or a spear.

The sun gradually fell, and the sky became dark. The earth was soaked with blood, and the cry of killing became weaker.

Leng Qingtang and several Hussar Generals opened their eyes wide, looking straight at the fight between human beings and elephants on the battlefield.

Seeing young soldiers fall and their lives swallowed by the cruel war, Leng Qingtang felt swept over by boundless darkness from all directions.

A shiver running down his spine, he shuddered from head to foot. At that moment, he felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave.

It was quiet all over, except for lively scenes that the soldiers were tumbling, the gurgling sound in the ears, the dripping of blood, people's horrified breathing, and the shock of the earth.

As a trickle of cold sweat dripped, he strenuously raised his sword, squinting and shouting,

"Strike a gong—"

In the Moro Mountain.

It was already dark, and the steep mountain path was winding with torches.
