nBut just then, there was a crisp sound! The arrow missed by a finger and was fiercely inserted deep into the snow!

nGong Jue came fast upon a galloping horse. He glared at the archer murderously, then extended his hand. Gong Yi Mo tacitly accepted it and went up on the horse.

n“Are you alright?”

nGong Jue asked. It took him some time to tame this horse. But he nearly– Nearly lost Gong Yi Mo!

nGong Yi Mo sighed in relief and wrapped her arms around his waist. “I’m fine…”

nGong Jue still wasn’t at ease. “Some men have the ability to see at night; that archer’s skill is superb! Sister, you sit in front of me!”

nNoticing his worry, Gong Yi Mo smiled. “Relax!” She then took out a wooden shield from her space!

n“I came to save you, and of course I came prepared!”

nGong Jue still wasn’t assured, but since the people behind were in tight pursuit, he had no time to reply. He could only take hold of the reigns and urge the horse to run as quickly as possible!

nThe men chased after them, getting closer and closer. Seeing the escaping pair, the leader sneered and cursed, “What a fool!”

nHe placed his thumb and forefinger between his lips and made a loud whistle!

nThey all say that old horses were difficult to tame. Since all of these breeds were raised by him, how can they possibly listen to outsiders?

nUpon hearing the whistle, Gong Jue’s horse neighed loudly in response! It raised its front hooves high, but unexpectedly, it didn’t turn back!

nLifted up by the horse, Gong Jue quickly tightened his grip around the reigns!

nThe leader had to take this opportunity! Once again, he raised his bow and the arrow was loosed in one swooping motion! It flew straight at the pair.

nGong Jue had no time to deal with it. His backhand quickly drew out a knife and stabbed it ruthlessly at the horse.

nThe horse came down with a scream and once again ran like hell!

nMeanwhile, the arrow inserted itself into the shield, its impact so strong, almost pushing Gong Yi Mo off the saddle!

n“Sister Gong, are you alright?!” Gong Jue anxiously asked.

nGong Yi Mo shouted back, “He’s so strong! It’s not good to entangle with him! You go faster!

nGong Jue quickly rushed ahead with his horse, which ran even more desperately this time. Gradually, it began to open up a gap between them and their pursuers!

nThe general’s face was blue from anger, and soon, he sent out a signal to his men who guarded the border!

nUnexpectedly, another team arrived at this time. When Gong Jue neared the border, he noticed from the distance that the newly arrived team attacked Lou Ye’s men!

nThe emperor sent this elite team! They’re finally here!

nGong Jue took advantage of this opportunity to snatch a spear and break through Lou Ye’s border guards! Gong Yi Mo also pulled out a sword from her sleeve, ready to paint the snow with stains of blood!

nThe two of them were very tacit in their cooperation. Gong Jue led the attack onwards while Gong Yi Mo sneak attacked from behind. Their movements were as swift as a flying horse, like a hot knife cutting through butter.

nThose elite soldiers in the distance seemed to be retreating slightly. Weapons collided in the night sky, creating sparks!

nGong Jue’s momentum was as terrible as a God of Death! The young prince quickly broke out of the enemy’s encirclement and the pair finally reached the border! At this time, the pursuing troops behind him arrived too late. They could see the old general who guarded Xi Zhou for these past ten years. The enemy’s leader stood dead on his tracks.

n“Grandpa!”

nGong Jue spotted the armored old man at a glance and shouted to him!

nSeeing that his grandson was still alive. Zhen Xi Wang felt his nose turn sour and he almost shed tears, but now wasn’t the time to be sentimental. He ordered his men to fight off the pursuers before looking straight at the young general across the battlefield.

nFor Zhen Xi Wang to achieve this high position, he had a body of martial arts that could only be rivaled by a few. He also heard that the young man opposite him on the battlefield was Lou Ye’s youngest general who could pull an arrow by one hand and not miss by a hair!

nThey looked at each other from opposites before joining the battlefield together!

nZhen Xi Wang only had one goal: to stop them!
