Chapter 413 Recognized
I slowly opened the door and made sure no one was there before I walked out.
The reason why I didn't make any noise to let Du Feilong catch Zhou Wu was because I knew that everyone outside, including Du Feilong, was no match for Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu is able to rank high on the combat power list, which means his martial arts skills are extremely high. If I had rushed out just now, I would have been afraid that more innocent people would have died on our side, and we might not have been able to catch him.
Only with Zhao Zhenyuan, we have a chance to fight against Zhou Wu. But Zhao Zhenyuan has been poisoned, and I don't know how much strength he has left. If he can't beat Zhou Wu, there are still Zhang Jing and I. If the three of us work together, we will have a better chance of winning.
I led Zhou Wu and his group again and continued walking towards the back door.
Although the martial arts academy is large, with more than a thousand people all out, it does seem quite lively.
Our team is relatively large, with more than fifty people. The other teams are composed of ten people each, and we are determined to overthrow the Martial Arts Academy.
Not long after our team walked out, we met another group of people walking towards us.
This team walked in front of us, and the leader looked at the team behind me, frowned and said: "You have too many people in your team, you can split into four or five groups, so that you can search a larger area."
I quickly said, "Sir, we have received an order to go to support General Zhao, and we cannot leave any more people behind."
The leader said, "Oh!" and said with a look of sudden enlightenment, "So you are going to support General Zhao. Then go quickly and don't keep General Zhao waiting for too long."
I bowed to the leader and walked away with confidence.
The translator quietly walked over to me and whispered, "If we had known that the little brother was so adaptable, we should have let him take us away earlier. Why did we have to stay in the secret room for so many days?"
I was secretly happy in my heart, but I couldn't show it too obviously. I suppressed my laughter and said nonsense: "I was also temporarily transferred here today. I was away for the past few days. If I hadn't arrived in time, I'm afraid General Zhou and you would have been trapped in the secret room by Zhao Zhenyuan and his gang and couldn't escape."
The translator nodded quickly.
Along the way, we met other teams many times, but everyone just nodded and didn't stop for too long.
When we were about to reach the back door, we suddenly encountered a group of cavalrymen. Some of them had fought against Zhou Wu before, so they naturally recognized him. But perhaps because it was dark and the torchlight was not bright enough, they did not recognize Zhou Wu.
But the string of skulls around Zhou Wu's neck was so conspicuous that when they walked over, they were attracted back by the string of silver skulls.
I looked at the team of cavalrymen turning back towards us, and I knew that this was bad. This place was still a long distance away from the horse manure pond. Once they recognized us, a bloody battle would be inevitable!
It happened so quickly that I took out the cloud-piercing arrow in my arms and pulled it hard. A small yellow flower shot into the sky.
When the translator saw me setting off the flare, he immediately yelled, “What are you doing?”
I yelled, "Call for help, what else can you do? Your general has been recognized, why don't you run!"
After saying that, I rushed to Zhou Wu, grabbed his hand and ran away.
Zhou Wu, this big fool, was pulled by me and actually followed me foolishly. He never thought that with his martial arts skills, he didn't need to be afraid of anyone except Zhao Zhenyuan.
I pulled Zhou Wu and ran away. The translator screamed in fright and started chasing after us.
The three of us ran fast enough that the Iron Cavalry had no time to react. By the time they reacted, Zhou Wu's fifty-plus guards had already surrounded them, and soon, we heard a roar of killing behind them.
I ran with Zhou Wu until I was out of breath, but I refused to let go of Zhou Wu's hand and held it tightly.
Zhou Wu could have easily run away by himself, but I pulled him, and he staggered all over the place, and it was difficult for him to run faster. He tried to break free from my hand, but found that he couldn't. He was a little panicked at this time. He didn't expect such a skinny person to have such great strength. He was so angry that he screamed.
I pretended not to understand and continued running forward holding his hand.
The translator finally caught up and asked, panting, "Where are you taking us?"
I pointed to the crooked tree by the wall not far away and said, "That's the back door. As long as we go out of the back door, someone will come to pick us up."
The translator muttered something to Zhou Wu again. Zhou Wu was in such a situation where he was unfamiliar with the place and didn't even have any guards, so he had no choice but to trust.
So I continued to pull Zhou Wu and run.
Zhou Wu couldn't stand it any longer and yelled. The translator said quickly, "Let General Zhou go. He doesn't like being led around like this."
I pretended to be awakened from a dream, quickly let go of Zhou Wu's hand, and said, "I'm sorry, I was in a hurry and just wanted to get you out of here, and I didn't care about your feelings. Then you should follow me closely and don't get lost."
After saying that, I raised my leg and walked away.
Running in the snow is really tiring. Since Zhou Wu doesn't want me to hold his hand, I won't pretend anymore. I'll just walk slowly, and delay as much as possible.
The three of us were walking with our heads down when suddenly a voice sounded faintly, "It's so late, where are you three going?"
When the three of us fled, we lost our lanterns and torches and could only run in the dark. The voice also came from the darkness, like a ghost, which scared the translator so much that he screamed and quickly hid behind Zhou Wu.
Zhou Wu and the translator couldn't see the person in the darkness, but I could see it clearly. It was Zhao Zhenyuan who had arrived!
Maybe he was worried about my safety, so he came here alone, without any other followers.
Zhou Wu cursed angrily. Zhao Zhenyuan had been stationed at the border for many years and had dealt with the people of Xihe many times, so he naturally understood the Xihe language. What Zhou Wu said was: Stop playing tricks and get out of here.
Of course Zhao Zhenyuan would not do such a thing as rolling out. He just walked out slowly from the darkness with a spear in his hand.
Under the moonlight, Zhao Zhenyuan descended like a god, and Zhou Wu was so scared that he took a step back.
Zhou Wu and Zhao Zhenyuan are several levels apart in the combat power list. That is a real combat power list without any fraud. Every level difference is a gap, let alone a few levels difference.
Zhou Wu raised his sword and said to Zhao Zhenyuan viciously: "If you let me live today, I will definitely reward you handsomely in the future."
Zhao Zhenyuan's face was a little pale. Although I used white light to protect his heart meridian, he did not receive good treatment and recuperation. The poison had slowly seeped into his heart and lungs. If it weren't for his strong internal strength, he would have died long ago.
Although Zhao Zhenyuan was deeply poisoned, he remained calm on the surface. He smiled and said, "If I were captured in Xihe State, would you let me go easily?"
