Eternal Sword

Chapter 127: Hundred Miles of Pursuit
Qin Xiaomei slowly pushed open the door. Her face was pale and she looked weak and pitiful. She did not have any of the majestic aura of a Weiwei.

"My Lord, Master Song, I, I will never speak nonsense."

Qin Xiaomei's voice was trembling slightly, and she was obviously frightened.

Song Mu's eyes wandered over her body unscrupulously, admiring the exquisite body under the veil, but he said: "I still believe that there are more dead people."

Qin Xiaomei's body trembled, her expression terrified, and she looked at Tan Wujiu for help.

"Well, you swear an oath."

Tan Wujiu said calmly.

Song Mu smiled and said, "It seems that Lord Tan is very kind to women and is reluctant to let them go."

Qin Xiaomei hesitated for a moment, then knelt down obediently on the ground and said softly: "I, Qin Xiaomei, swear to heaven that if I tell anyone what I saw today, I will be punished by heaven and die a miserable death!"

Song Mu looked down at Qin Xiaomei not far away, with a cold and unmoved expression.

Qin Xiaomei bit her red lips and continued, "If I break this oath, if the child I give birth to is a boy, then he will be a slave for generations, and if he is a girl, then he will be a prostitute for generations!"

After hearing this, Song Mu's expression eased slightly.

I don't think Qin Xiaomei would dare to make such a vicious oath.

Song Mu said: "In fact, even if you tell me, I will not admit it. Cai Yin's body has turned into ashes, and there is no evidence. Only the three of us know about this. With Lord Tan as my witness, guess who else will believe us or you, a slut?"

"What the master said is true."

Qin Xiaomei nodded quickly.

Seeing that she was very tactful, Song Mu felt relieved, said goodbye to Tan Wujiu, and turned to leave.

After Song Mu left, Tan Wujiu also walked outside.

When he arrived at the gate of the courtyard, he paused and said with a sidelong glance: "Melt Cai Yin's sword, don't leave any evidence behind."

"Yes."

Qin Xiaomei bowed her head and agreed.

After a long time, the yard was already silent and there was no one around. Qin Xiaomei slowly raised her head and looked at the ball of dust scattered on the snow in the yard, lost in thought.

After a while, Qin Xiaomei stood up, went back to the house, put on her clothes, and walked out wearing a loose robe.

She picked up the jagged sword on the ground, hid it under her robe, and walked towards the blacksmith shop.

Not long after, Qin Xiaomei came to the blacksmith shop, handed over the Qinglong Sword, and whispered, "Please melt this sword."

Lao Zhang took the sword, took a look at it, and asked in surprise, "This sword is in good condition, why would you melt it?"

"No need to ask, just melt it."

Qin Xiaomei urged without explaining.

Lao Zhang said nothing and threw the Qinglong sword into the molten iron.

Qin Xiaomei watched the Qinglong sword gradually dissolve into the sword groove before turning and leaving.

In a corner not far away, Tan Wujiu stood in the shadows, watching the scene silently.

……

On the official road from Wu'an County to Changze County.

Xiao Xun and the others ran at full speed for dozens of miles before gradually slowing down.

He always ran at full speed, and even his horse couldn't support him.

"It should be fine now."

In the heavy snow, Xiao Xun looked back, but could only see the vast night without a single ghost in sight.

Du Yinfeng said, "Young Master, don't worry. With the leader holding back the Grandmaster, he will definitely not be able to catch up."

"I'm not worried about him, I'm worried about Chen Tang!"

Xiao Xun frowned, thinking back to the way Chen Tang had looked at him just now, and couldn't help feeling a little annoyed.

It was the look of a ferocious beast staring at its prey.

Although Xiao Xun knew that Chen Tang was no match for him, this look still made him feel uncomfortable.

So much happened tonight.

Until now, he is still a little confused.

How could this be?
After preparing for so long and clearly having the upper hand and no chance of failure, how could we have been defeated so completely?

Where did that Yibu Yunxiao come from?

Why did it appear in Wu'an County?

Du Yinfeng consoled him, "Young Master, don't worry. We have more than 300 people. Even if Chen Tang comes after us, we have nothing to fear. How much trouble can he cause alone?"

At this moment, there was a slight vibration from the ground!

Xiao Xun immediately became alert.

Someone is chasing us from behind, and there is more than one person!
"Go, go!"

Xiao Xun quickly steered his warhorse, passed the crowd, and ran faster.

Most of the Blackwater Gang members haven't reacted yet.

Woo!
At this moment, the sound of a sharp blade breaking through the air was heard and arrived in an instant.

puff!

A Blackwater Gang henchman had his head pierced by an arrow. He immediately fell off his horse and died on the ground!

"Zheng Yu, Dai Guan, the rest of you stay here and investigate the situation behind. Do your best to stop anyone who wants to chase after the Young Gang Leader!"

Du Yinfeng immediately sent out about a hundred men to stay where they were to block the pursuers, while he himself rushed towards Xiao Xun.

As he was speaking, another Blackwater Gang guard was shot dead by an arrow!

The remaining members of the Black Water Gang quickly moved away, lying in the snow, trying to hide themselves as much as possible.

Those who were carrying bows and arrows began to draw their bows and shoot arrows behind them, intending to fight back.

But their arrows sank into the dark night, like a drop in the ocean, and there was no response at all.

The sound of horse hooves is getting closer!
Not long after, the Black Water Gang saw a group of light cavalry coming on the snow, full of murderous intent. Each of them was fully equipped with a bow and a sword.

Even when running at full speed, this group of people were still able to maintain their formation without any disorder. They were no less disciplined than the regular army with strict uniformity!

Compared with them, the Blackwater Gang seemed like a group of scattered soldiers.

Fortunately, there were not many of these light cavalry.

"Kill!" The members of the Black Water Gang hiding on both sides of the official road shouted and swarmed forward.

"shoot!"

Li Boxiong pointed.

This light cavalry quickly slowed down, stopped on the official road, quickly formed a formation, and shot a round of arrows at the Black Water Gang on both sides!
During the previous pursuit, they only had a crossbow in their hands, and could not shoot at a long distance like Chen Tang could.

Moreover, in the vast snow and thick darkness of the night, everyone's vision was obstructed, and they could not see the people clearly, so they did not dare to act rashly.

You can only get close and then use bows and arrows to cover.

Oh oh oh!
Hundreds of arrows were shot towards both sides of the official road, and with the help of the Suzaku Guards' crossbows, more than a hundred members of the Black Water Gang fell down instantly!
By the time the Black Water Gang arrived, more than half of them were dead or injured!
"Put away your bows, dismount and engage in close combat!"

Li Boxiong shouted softly.

Everyone dismounted and drew their swords to meet the enemy.

Even in close combat, the Blackwater Gang has no chance of winning.

Chen Tang alone is enough to scare everyone.

What's more, there are more than ten Suzaku Guards, and the opponent has an absolute advantage in numbers!

……

Upon learning that there were pursuers behind him, Xiao Xun did not care whether his horse was tired or not. He did not dare to delay and led everyone to run at full speed.

He ran for dozens of miles.

Some horses in the crowd were already foaming at the mouth from exhaustion.

Some horses whined, fell to the ground and twitched, obviously in bad condition.

After all, the horses of the Blackwater Gang are just relatively ordinary horses. They don't usually receive weight-bearing training and rarely run like they did today. They are different from the war horses that have experienced many battles.

After running at full speed for more than a hundred miles, some horses could no longer hold on.

Xiao Xun had no choice but to slow down.

The members of the Black Water Gang, who had lost their horses, could only run and follow.

Not long after walking, the ground shook again and the sound of horse hooves could be heard faintly behind him!
"My grass!"

Xiao Xun cursed and gnashed his teeth, "These people are really haunting me. There's no end in sight, right?"

Du Yinfeng's eyes flashed with a fierce light, and he said fiercely: "Young Gang Leader, why don't we turn back and fight them? If we don't cut off these tails, we will not be able to escape in the end!"

Xiao Xun clenched his fists and was about to speak when a black light broke through the night and instantly shot and killed a Black Water Gang henchman not far away!

Seeing the miserable state of this man, Xiao Xun loosened his clenched fists, swallowed his saliva, jumped on the horse, and urged: "Go, go!"

Du Yinfeng seemed to have made a decision, and said in a deep voice: "Young Boss, you go first. I will stay with my brothers to hold them back. I hope..."

"it is good!"

Before Du Yinfeng finished speaking, Xiao Xun agreed immediately and nodded quickly, "Master Du is loyal and righteous!"

After Xiao Xun got on the horse, he pulled another horse that looked quite energetic and set off with it. They galloped forward and soon disappeared into the night.

Du Yinfeng was a little stunned.

For a moment, he even felt that his decision was a bit stupid.

Another black light shot out, and someone in the crowd fell to the ground.

He didn't have time to think because the pursuers arrived!
Du Yinfeng took a deep breath and said loudly: "Brothers, let's fight!"

"Yes, killing these pursuers is our only chance of survival!"

A Blackwater Gang guard who came from the military said in a deep voice.

"kill!"

The Black Water Gang shouted.

Even if it's not for the young gang leader who has already escaped, for their own sake, they have no choice but to fight to the death!
……

Xiao Xun set out on the road alone and ran for dozens of miles.

The horse under him was already exhausted.

Fortunately, before he left, he brought another horse over.

The horse ran dozens of miles without any load and seemed to have some strength left.

Xiao Xun rode the horse and continued to flee forward.

At this time, dawn broke.

Before he knew it, Xiao Xun had been on the run for almost a night!
I don't know when the heavy snow stopped.

Xiao Xun was exhausted all over. He had no time to rest all night, and the mental pressure was even greater, making it difficult for him to breathe.

In a trance, he was overwhelmed with sadness.

From birth till now, he has had whatever he wanted, and he could order people around. Even in Pingzhou of Qian Kingdom, he could call the wind and rain. How could he have ever been so embarrassed?
How could it become like this?
Chen Tang!

This is the person!
After he met this person in Changze County, everything went wrong for him!
Thinking of this, Xiao Xun felt so angry that his teeth were itching.

"Just wait for me, I, Xiao Xun, will be back!"

Xiao Xun ran for another few dozen miles.

The second horse was also exhausted.

Fortunately, Changze County is just ahead.

Xiao Xun could already see the wisp of smoke floating in the air ahead.

As long as he reaches Changze County, he will be saved!
There is also a branch in Changze County.

There are still hundreds of people stationed there, and they are all energetic Blackwater Gang brothers!

There are many experts among them.

Ever since this branch was attacked by Chen Tang last time, Du Yinfeng even sent several sixth- and seventh-rank experts to take charge!
Chen Tang and his companions made a long raid, during which they experienced several fierce battles.

The brothers in the Blackwater Gang branch are well-rested and will definitely be able to stop the pursuers.

Moreover, Changze County is very close to the Three Thousand Snow Ridges.

He could change to a good and energetic horse and rush back to Blackwater Kingdom!

Facing the faint glow rising in the distant east, Xiao Xun seemed to see a glimpse of life. He cheered up and ran wildly towards Changze County.

　I may have something to do tonight, so I will make the second update tomorrow. Please don't wait for me tonight.
