As Mi Luowu ran, he cursed himself for being so unlucky. He hadn't run far before the Zhou people spotted him and caught up with him.

He was also cursing Bagu Lun for ruining himself, and said that this spring's expedition would definitely take down the White Wolf camp, and even drive straight into the Great Zhou, strengthening their Northern Hu.

Looking back now, I realize I must have been out of my mind to agree to go south with my brother.

What should have been a picnic-like battle has turned into what it is today, which he finds utterly baffling!

"Guardian Ye, quickly take off your clothes!"

Just as Miroku was lost in thought, a guard approached him, speaking and acting simultaneously:

"It seems we won't be able to shake off the Zhou people anytime soon. Only if I wear your clothes and lure them away will you have a chance to survive!"

"Lord Yehu, please take good care of my family after you return!"

Upon hearing this, Miro Wuyuan's eyes welled up with tears, but he didn't stop what he was doing. He quickly took off his clothes and changed with the other person.

Before parting, he patted his subordinate heavily on the shoulder, his voice heavy:

"Run if you can! Don't fight the Zhou people to the death!"

"Rest assured, Lord Ye, I understand!"

After the two exchanged places, Miro Ugen led a few guards southeast, pretending to be fleeing soldiers, while his subordinates continued north, galloping wildly on horseback!

At the rear, Lu Xiao noticed this and immediately divided his forces without hesitation:

"Uncle Huang, you go and pursue the Hu people who are fleeing north. I'll take care of the other part."

"Your humble servant obeys!"

Under the long night, Lu Xiao moved across the grassland at an incredible speed, like a ghost, and caught up with the more than fifty fleeing riders in no time!

When the two were only thirty paces apart, he suddenly drew his bow and aimed the arrow at the blurry figure of the enemy.

whoosh-

A whooshing sound rang out, and a barbarian soldier fell to the ground.

Immediately afterwards, three or five arrows flew out in succession, and seven or eight Hu soldiers fell from their horses with screams.

Miro Wuyuan, who was running wildly, was terrified, fearing that the arrow would be aimed at him at the next second, sending him back to the embrace of the Eternal Heaven.

As the saying goes, what you fear most is what will happen.

A moment later, Miro Wuyuan suddenly heard a whooshing sound. He turned around and saw Lu Xiao release his grip and shoot out an arrow.

He was instantly terrified, thinking to himself that his life was over!

"Run, Leaf Guardian!"

Just then, a guard, seeing that he couldn't block the arrow with his scimitar, leaped from his horse and shielded him with his body.

For a moment, Miro Wuyuan's mind was buzzing, and he felt as if the sky was about to collapse!

He was now praying that Lu Xiao didn't understand what Ye Hu meant, otherwise he would not be able to escape Ye Hu's clutches tonight!

Unfortunately, the reality left him utterly desperate.

After shooting down several Hu soldiers in succession, Lu Xiao heard a shout from his personal guard. He immediately put away his Mountain-Shattering Bow, took out his Black Dragon Spear, aimed at the warhorse beneath Mi Luo Wuyuan, and hurled it with all his might.

"fall!"

Woohoo!

With the neighing of warhorses, Miro Wuyuan was thrown forward uncontrollably. He fell to the ground and had just sat up to mount another warhorse when he saw Lu Xiao leading his troops to surround them.

In a short time, all his personal guards were killed!

At this moment, Lu Xiao rode forward, pointed the tip of his spear at his head, and sneered:

"Ye Hu? It seems that among the few deserters I randomly pursued, there was actually a big fish like you hidden away!"

"Tell me, where did your elder brother, Maitreya, escape to?"

Upon hearing this, Miroku was filled with despair, but also utterly shocked.

He never expected that his brother would be defeated so soon after he escaped!

Miro Wuyuan quietly left the battlefield of Yingjiyuan in the afternoon. He sensed that something was wrong and thought that saving his life was the priority. After returning to the royal court, he told Bagu Lun that his brother had died in battle.

Then he will be able to seize the throne effortlessly and become the new King of Hu!

Unfortunately, their grand plan fell apart as Lu Xiao caught up with them.

After a moment of silence, Miroku felt a sharp pain in his neck and cried out in alarm:

"I...I don't know!"

"you do not know?"

"I really don't know!"

He shook his head frantically, recounted the time he had fled the battlefield, and then quickly explained:

"I originally planned to detour eastward, infiltrate a larger tribe there, and order them to escort me back to the royal court. But didn't you manage to catch up with me?"

"Lu Xiao... no, Marquis Champion, everything I've said is true, please spare my life!"

After saying this, Mirowuyuan kept kowtowing and begging for mercy, still harboring a sliver of hope in his heart.

A hint of killing intent flashed in Lu Xiao's eyes, and he said coldly:

"Since you don't know where Maitreya has escaped to, there's no point in keeping you around!"

puff-

As soon as he finished speaking, to Miro Wuyuan's astonishment, he beheaded him with a single shot, then casually tossed the head to Zhou Daxing for safekeeping before continuing his pursuit northward.

About 15 minutes later, Huang Shan and his men caught up and joined them. It seemed that they had already killed all the fleeing soldiers!

Without saying much, the two joined forces and quickened their pace.

Because they had captured warhorses from Miro Wuyuan and his men, Lu Xiao and his group were able to move even faster. They could take turns riding different horses, and each horse would have time to rest, thus conserving their stamina.

This chase lasted for several hours.

By the afternoon of the next day, Lu Xiao and his men still hadn't seen any trace of the deserters, including Mi Luohan. However, the good news was that they found traces left by the deserters on the grassland, as well as some horse manure that they hadn't had time to cover up.

Huangshan proactively conducted an inspection and subsequently concluded:

"My lord, this horse manure was left about three hours ago, and they haven't stopped."

"It seems we're getting closer to our goal!"

"This is a good thing!"

Lu Xiao nodded and ordered his soldiers to keep a close eye on their footing as they pursued, not to miss any opportunity to catch up with Mi Luohan.

However, after a short chase, Zhou Daxing still raised his doubts:

"My lord, it seems we can't just chase and kill along the way. Instead, we should head straight for the Hu people's royal court, regardless of the Hu tribes along the way. Otherwise, once Mi Luohan returns to the royal court, it will be difficult for us to make a move."

"After all, we only brought three thousand soldiers with us this time."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xiao nodded in deep agreement.

Last night, before they even caught up with Miluowuyuan, they casually wiped out a small Hu tribe.

Although it didn't take up too much time, if we continue doing this, the total time will add up to a considerable amount.

With this in mind, he immediately changed the direction of his pursuit and said loudly:

"Let's go to the royal court of the Hu people and wait for Maitreya to walk right into our trap!"
