Su Zhan quickly scanned the inside of the tent, thinking that he couldn't go through the main door, as there might be guards outside. His gaze fell on the back of the tent, where there was a wall that looked like it was covered with a thick blanket in the corner.

He walked over quickly and carefully lifted a corner of the tapestry. Sure enough, there were layers of felt underneath, which were added for warmth and sound insulation.

Su Zhan immediately searched the tent and finally pulled out a small dagger.

Su Zhan was overjoyed. He went to the corner and, instead of cutting the blanket directly, inserted the dagger into the gap and, like zipping up a zipper, quickly cut a half-person-high opening along the gap.

Fortunately, the dagger was sharp enough, and although it took some effort, it was quiet enough.

A rush of cold air rushed in. Su Zhan peeked out and saw that it was the shaded area of ​​the tent. It was still cloudy tonight, and it was pitch black all around. Without hesitation, he crawled out of the opening, lowered his body, and pressed himself against the shadow of the tent as he made his way out of the camp.

The reason he didn't go to Lin Yuer's tent was because he was afraid that Lin Yuer's tent was being watched, so he had to leave the camp first.

Not long after Su Zhan left the camp, the camp suddenly erupted into chaos.

Suddenly, many torches were lit in the direction of Mandu's tent, and countless people were running around the camp, seemingly trying to capture someone.

Su Zhan knew that this was all to arrest him; these people reacted very quickly and had already discovered Mandu's death.

Su Zhan was getting anxious; he didn't know if Lin Yuer had actually run away.

Su Zhan even had a glimmer of hope. He thought to himself, if Lin Yuer came out now, could he and Lin Yuer go to Stone City together?

Just as Su Zhan was thinking, he suddenly saw a figure hurriedly approaching him from the camp.

Su Zhan recognized the figure very well; it was Lin Yuer.

Lin Yuer ran very fast, but seemed very flustered, stumbling and staggering, as if she was frightened by the commotion in the camp. She ran towards Su Zhan, who remained hidden in the darkness. When Lin Yuer got close, he suddenly rushed out and hugged her tightly.

Lin Yuer let out a gasp, but before she could react, her mouth was covered.

"Don't call out, my wife, it's me!"

Upon hearing Su Zhan's voice, Lin Yuer's tense body immediately went limp.

Su Zhan released her mouth, and saw that Lin Yuer's eyes were red, obviously from crying. She looked at Su Zhan with concern and asked.

"Husband, what are you doing here?"

Su Zhan didn't hide anything and spoke directly.

"I killed Mandu and escaped."

Lin Yu'er was startled upon hearing this: "So the people in that camp were all there to capture you?"

Su Zhan nodded and said, "That's right, this isn't the place to talk, let's go!"

Then Su Zhan led Lin Yuer and the other person into the darkness.

When Lin Yuer came out, she not only brought the silver, but also Su Zhan's broadsword and the bow and arrows that her brother had not taken.

Su Zhan slung his broadsword at his waist and carried his bow and arrows on his back.

At this moment, Su Zhan was very calm. Lin Yuer, whom he was most worried about, had already come out. Now there was only one thing in front of him: to find a way to escape. He didn't need to worry about anything else.

Moreover, that camp had nothing to do with him anymore. He had even killed Mandu and avenged himself, so what else was there to think about?

Lin Yuer remained calm. She thought she would never see Su Zhan again, but now that God had brought Su Zhan back to her side, what did she have to be afraid of?

Although they were still in great danger, Lin Yuer felt very at ease as she felt Su Zhan's warm hand.

She felt that as long as she could be with Su Zhan, no matter how dangerous the situation, it wouldn't be scary.

So the two figures staggered into the darkness, their destination the distant Stone City.

Su Zhan thought he was safe once he escaped, but he underestimated the determination of the people in the camp to capture him.

As dawn approached, the two men, exhausted from running all night, had just taken shelter in a patch of grass to rest when they suddenly heard the sound of horses' hooves in the distance.

Su Zhan immediately lowered his body and lay prone on the grass with Lin Yuer.

Lin Yuer looked in terror toward the direction from which the sound of horses' hooves came.

Suddenly, a group of people appeared on the distant grassland. The group consisted entirely of grassland people, carrying curved swords and wearing leather armor. They exuded a murderous aura and brushed past Su Zhan and his group, heading straight into the distance.

After the group of people disappeared, Lin Yuer said to Su Zhan in a trembling voice, "Husband, those are Mandu's people, they're coming after us!"

Su Zhan narrowed his eyes. He knew this group wouldn't give up easily, but he didn't expect that even after they had run so far, they would still catch up.

Don't be fooled by the fact that this group isn't thoroughly searching the grassland right now; it's because they want to get ahead of Su Zhan and his group. Once they've surrounded them, they'll search every single spot one by one.

Therefore, Su Zhan and his group don't have much time left. If they can't escape their encirclement before they form a complete encirclement, then he and Lin Yuer will be in grave danger.

Therefore, they must act quickly, and if they want to break through the encirclement as soon as possible, they need to get a horse; they can no longer rely on their two legs to move forward.

So Su Zhan directly asked Lin Yuer.

"Where is the nearest camp? We need to buy two horses; we can't outrun them on foot."

Without any hesitation, Lin Yuer immediately pointed in a direction, and then Su Zhan led Lin Yuer to rush in that direction.

By this time, it was already broad daylight, and without the cover of darkness, they would be in even greater danger.

Although Su Zhan appears calm now, he is extremely anxious inside.

The situation is different now than it was yesterday when he was arrested by Mandu.

He was captured by Mandu to act as a suicide soldier for Lin Qingshan, but now that Mandu is dead, if Su Zhan is captured and taken back, he will definitely blame Mandu's death on him, and then Su Zhan might not survive.

Therefore, no matter what, Su Zhan must escape and not fall into the hands of those people.

Su Zhan had considered letting Lin Yuer leave first, but Lin Yuer didn't say anything, she just held his hand tightly.

The little girl was very stubborn, and she proved with her actions that she didn't want to be separated from Su Zhan again.

Su Zhan didn't say anything more, but simply held Lin Yu'er's hand tightly, and the two headed towards the camp.

Sure enough, after walking about two miles, they finally saw a small camp. Su Zhan asked Lin Yuer to go in and buy horses, while he waited outside.

Before long, Lin Yuer led out two horses, and it seemed that everything had gone very smoothly.

Su Zhan was overjoyed. With horses, their speed would be much faster, and they could reach Stone City in two days. Moreover, they would be able to escape the pursuit of these people today. Once they escaped, they would no longer have to fear Mandu's people.
