Chapter 217 Let Me Continue to Get Well (2)
Huo An nodded, wanting to let go of his feet, but fearing that things would change, he exerted force on his feet expressionlessly, and there was a sudden click. The masked man screamed, his face was deformed in pain, and his five fingers on his right hand loosened.

Cai Xiang muttered something, put the knife on the masked man's neck, and pulled him to stand up.In the firelight, the man in the mask was sweating heavily on his chin, his right shoulder was shaking, and his right wrist was dangling limply.

Huo An, Yongrong and the others hurriedly found the scattered horses, threw several wounded people onto the horses, and then got on the horses.

Aqiu's thigh was slashed, bleeding profusely, and at this moment his forehead was covered with cold sweat.Cao Feng helped him onto the horse, jumped onto the horse himself, and said anxiously, "What should Brother Xiang do?"

Huo An sat on the horse, pointed to the horses surrounded by fences not far away, took out a fire bag from his arms, shook it close to the horse's mane, pointed to the east direction, and then jumped over the horse to meet Cai Xiang.

Yong Rong nodded, "Understood."

Turn around and lead people to open the fence to release the horses, while Cao Feng retreats first with a few wounded.

At this time, the Hu soldiers had gradually got rid of the entanglement of the cattle and sheep, and were about to advance boldly. When they heard a roar, they looked up and found that the masked man was being held by a man with a knife.

They reined in their horses one after another and raised their bows and arrows silently.

The horses neighed, and everyone turned their heads to see that the imprisoned horses had been released, and the horses were galloping, rumbling to the east.

The masked man suddenly murmured something.

Cai Xiang sneered, and murmured back.

The masked man was silent.

Cai Xiang tightened his hand, and a stream of blood flowed out of the masked man's throat without hesitation.

Hu soldiers approached slowly.

Flames shot up into the sky behind him, and corpses littered the field.

The masked man gritted his teeth and said a word.

The Hu soldiers reined in their horses and stopped, their bows and arrows relaxed.

Cai Xiang said, "Huo An, withdraw."

After finishing speaking, the masked man stepped back step by step.

Huo An turned his horse's head and walked beside Cai Xiang.

The large herd of fierce horses has disappeared behind a hideous rock in the east.

The Hu soldiers didn't dare to move, they stared at them and retreated, and the horses under them snorted irritably in place.

Finally, retreat far enough.Seeing that the group of Hu soldiers were ready to move, Cai Xiang felt that if they retreated again, they would not be able to hold back, so she walked away with a roar, bent her right leg, and pressed her knee firmly behind the masked man's leg, against the mask The man knelt down fiercely, he turned over and jumped on the horse, Huo An clamped the horse's belly, and the two galloped away.

The Hu soldiers immediately yelled, patted their horses and chased after them, and shot arrows one after another. Huo An and Cai Xiang hurriedly leaned forward when they heard the sound.

But fortunately they had retreated for a certain distance, they missed the arrow, Cai Xiang let out a muffled snort in the gust of wind, Huo An was startled, and couldn't turn back, so he could only carry him and run forward desperately.

Cai Xiang said, "I got an arrow in my leg, I can't die."

The Hu people chased after him, and the arrows kept flowing.

At this moment, suddenly there was a booming sound from the ground, Huo An hurriedly lifted the reins, abruptly turned the horse around, and turned to the left.

I saw a group of fierce horses rumbling out from behind the rocks in the east, their tails were on fire, and they ran frantically towards the barbarian soldiers.

The Hu people were shocked and backed away in a panic.

Cai Xiang took a breath, leaned on Huo An's back, feeling dizzy gradually, "Huo An, Cheng Hui..."

But the horseshoes were booming, and there was a riot of soldiers and horses. How could he hear clearly, Huo An was fully focused on running for his life, and didn't listen to what he said at all.

As the sky gradually brightened, this life-and-death chaos finally left them.

Huo An took Cai Xiang, who was half awake, and after meeting Yongrong and the others, he ran eastward with all his might.

To the east is the grassland.

The crowd ran until the first ray of morning light cast light on the prairie, and then they gradually slowed down. There was silence behind them. They thought that the group of barbarian soldiers would not try their best to chase a group of men. What the barbarians wanted were cattle, sheep and woman.

So everyone stopped, counted the heads, and bandaged the wounds.

There were twenty people when they came, and there were also twenty people when they went back.

However, three of them became dead.

Lao Wu and the other two men were either shot by arrows or slashed by knives. After falling off the horse, they were trampled on by the herd of cattle and sheep.

Everyone was silent.

Huo An helped Cai Xiang get off the horse and sat on the ground. Seeing that he was shot by an arrow in his left calf, he quickly took off his cotton coat, then took off his cotton jacket, put on the cotton jacket, and tore the jacket into strips. Ask Yongrong to hold down Cai Xiang's left leg, pull out the long arrow, and quickly bandage him up.

The package and luggage are all gone, and Jinchuang Medicine is naturally gone.

Cai Xiang was in a cold sweat from the pain, her teeth were trembling, she gasped for breath and wanted to speak, but she couldn't speak for a long time.

Huo An's arm was cut, and he felt the pain when he calmed down, but fortunately, it was only a flesh wound.

Cai Xiang took a deep breath, "Keep going. Go to Taining Mashi, where there are imperial troops stationed, and the barbarians dare not mess around."

So everyone didn't dare to stay, waited for the horse to nibble a few mouthfuls of grass, got on the horse and left.

Hungry, thirsty and injured, they ran for another day. When it was dark, a group of men on horses who were exhausted and escaped from death finally rushed back to the Taining horse market.

The horse market was shocked, and even the garrison was alarmed.

Another day and night, Cai Xiang woke up covered in cold sweat, sat up abruptly, only to realize that he was no longer on the deserted prairie, but in a room that looked like an inn.

Yongrong Huo An and others sat around the table and ate steamed buns. Seeing him wake up, Yongrong hurriedly handed him a bowl of water, "Brother Xiang, drink water."

Cai Xiang took the water bowl, without saying a word, drank it all in one gulp, looked around, "Where's Cao Feng and Aqiu?"

Yongrong said, "Cao Feng is taking care of Ah Qiu next door."

Cai Xiang said, "How is Ah Qiu?"

Yongrong said, "My life was saved, but the doctor said his leg was useless..."

Cai Xiang raised her hand to press her forehead, her expression was blurred, and she said in a low voice, "Where are the other brothers?"

Yongrong was silent for a while, "The fifth child is gone. There are two more..."

Huo An came over and handed a steamed bun to Cai Xiang.

Cai Xiang sent the steamed bun flying with a slap, fell down and covered her head without making a sound.

Yongrong shook his head at Huo An, Huo An bent down to pick up the steamed bun, and walked back to the table silently with Yongrong.

After a long time, Cai Xiang's deep voice came, "It was my fault. I took it lightly. I thought..."

He choked up slightly, and said after a long time, "I thought nothing would happen if the war stopped."

Huo An fell into deep thought, silently thinking about Mr. Riming's words that day.

Fifteen days later, the cavalry returned to Boryeong.

Nanguan horse market is very boiling.

The news that Cai Xiang's cavalry team had encountered an accident and killed three people had already been clamored by the cavalry team returning from the Taining horse market.
