“Jiang Yuyan? Jiang Yuyan?”
Zhong Yong was extremely anxious. He didn’t bother to catch any more fish and ran back.
Just as they ran out of the river, they saw two Northern Barbarians carrying Jiang Yuyan and running towards the Northern Barbarians. Zhong Yong chased after them and shouted at them like a bolt of lightning,
“Stop, put her down.”
Hearing Zhong Yong’s shout, the two Northern Barbarians ran even faster. They were the Northern Barbarian soldiers who had attacked the city yesterday. When they saw that something terrible would happen, they hid to save their lives.
However, they didn’t dare to go back. They would be beheaded if they lost, so they kept wandering outside Mo City.
Seeing Zhong Yong frightened these two brats. Yesterday, they had seen with their own eyes how valiant Zhong Yong was when he captured their commander alive. They were afraid that he would see it.
When they saw that Zhong Yong didn’t notice them and instead brought a girl to the riverside, these two boys had their thoughts.
The person who captured their commander must be a high-ranking official in the city. Wouldn’t it be worthy to take his woman back to the Northern Barbarians and let them exchange their commander for her? If they contributed, they wouldn’t have to be beheaded.
But with Zhong Yong around, how could they catch that woman? However these two kids were worried sick. They were unwilling to leave but did not dare to show their faces. They only dared to follow behind sneakily.
Fortunately, the woman was kneeling on the ground with a bleeding nose Zhong Yong went to the center of the river alone to dig a hole in the ice The strong wind by the river and the loud sound of him digging the ice allowed the two boys to quietly cover Jiang Yuyan’s mouth, carry her, and run.
Zhong Yong asked them to stop. Could they be stopped? If they stopped they would die.
These two brats were familiar with the terrain, so they ran into places with holes in the ground, hoping that Zhong Yong would fall into it so they could escape smoothly.
However, they didn’t know that Zhong Yong looked tall and dumb, but he was brilliant. He knew that something was wrong when he saw the two of them running ahead of him. He was chasing after them by stepping on their footprints. Every step was good, and he quickly and steadily closed the distance between them.
Jiang Yuyan was carried by the Northern Barbarian soldiers with her head down. Her mouth was gagged, and her hands were tied together. She was dizzy and terrified. ’
When caught, she didn’t have time to call Brother Zhong before her mouth was gagged. She struggled desperately, hoping that Zhong Yong could see her but he was so focused on smashing the ice that he didn’t realize she was caught. At that moment, Jiang Yuyan’s heart was filled with despair as she was dragged away.
When she heard Zhong Yong’s shout, Jiang Yuyan was filled with hope again. She raised her head with all her might and saw Zhong Yong chasing after her with giant strides. Her heart calmed down, and she had unlimited confidence in Zhong Yong. He would be able to save her.
“Don’t come over. If you come over, I’ll kill her.”
The two Northern Barbarians had failed to trap Zhong Yong in the dark hole Seeing he was catching up to them, they placed Jiang Yuyan on the ground and hooked her slender neck with the machete.
He was also anxious and afraid, so he used too much strength. Jiang Yuyan’s neck was instantly cut open, and blood gushed out. Zhong Yong was so scared that he was frozen on the ice as if someone had pressed his acupuncture point.
Don’t touch, don’t touch her. I won’t apprehend you. If you put her down I won’t arrest you.”
Zhong Yong looked at Jiang Yuyan’s bloody neck as if his heart had been dug out, and the blood in his body seemed to have frozen. He didn’t even need the two of them to say anything and threw the axe in his hand to the ground, raising his hand to indicate that he wouldn’t catch them.
Seeing how much Zhong Yong valued Jiang Yuyan, the two used the Northern Barbarian language to communicate. Since he valued this woman so much, they would force him to return to the Northern Barbarians. If they captured a general from Mo City, they would be promoted and wealthy.
They no longer just wanted to exchange for Urhan’s pursuit. They wanted to capture Zhong Yong alive.
The Northern Barbarian who could speak Mandarin ordered Zhong Yong,
“If you come with us, we won’t kill her. Otherwise, I’ll kill this woman right now.”
“Alright, I’ll go with you.”
Zhong Yong finally understood their intentions. He agreed without batting an eyelid and looked for an opportunity to save Yuyan on the way to the Northern Barbarians. Seeing that the kid was still holding the sharp scimitar against Jiang Yuyan’s neck, Zhong Yong glared and shouted,
“Take your knives away. If she dies, I’ll tear you into pieces.”
Zhong Yong’s voice was like a thunderclap, causing the two Northern
Barbarians to tremble in fear. He had captured their invincible General Orhan so they were nothing to him.
Moreover, they did not doubt Zhong Yong’s words at all. If that huge axe smashed into their bodies, their bones and tendons would be broken. After discussing it, they agreed,
“Alright, I’ll remove the knife, but you can’t move around. Stay away from us and keep your distance.”
However, they were terrified of Zhong Yong, so they asked him to follow them from a distance and not get close. This was the only way to ensure their safety. Zhong Yong followed behind them, looking for an opportunity to save Jiang Yuyan. 6
Su Qing didn’t know that Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan were in danger. She was still waiting for their fish to come back to make a fish pot, but when they didn’t show up, he asked Li Daniu to go and take a look. ‘Could these two have forgotten about their business while they were in love?’
Li Daniu didn’t see anyone when he ran to the riverside, but he saw the big fish and spears thrown on the ice hole and the surface. He shouted for a long time but only the whistling north wind and snowflakes responded to him. Zhong ’ Yong and Jiang Yuyan were gone.
Li Daniu looked at the footprints on the snow and realized they were messy, like the footsteps of four or five people. He then walked in the direction of the footprints. ’Wasn’t this the way to the Northern Barbarians?’
Li Daniu hurriedly ran back with the fish and spear. He came back to report to Su Qing and Xiao Zeyu,
“SU Qing, bad news. Zhong Yong and Jiang Yuyan seem to be in danger.”
Li Damu’s shout frightened Jiang Yuyan’s mother. She was helping with the cooking and knew that her daughter and Zhong Yong had gone fishing by the river. When she heard that they had disappeared, she was instantly anxious and ran to beg Su Qing,
“Su Qing, please save Yuyan.”
“Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll go take a look.”
Su Qing didn’t have the time to make the fish pot anymore. She let Big Daddy Li watch the roast mutton while she went to save them.
Xiao Zeyu, who was in the room, heard the noise and came out to ask about the situation. He couldn’t go because he had to accompany Yelu Chun, so he sent a team of bodyguards to follow her.
Li Daniu led Su Qing to the riverside and pointed toward the footprints.
“They are heading towards the Northern Barbarian Kingdom.”
“Everyone, be careful. The terrain here is a little dangerous.”
Su Qing nodded and looked at the path of the footprints. If it were an average person, they would run in a straight line. These people ran in a curved route. In this situation, it was safest to follow the footprints. Su Qing turned around and instructed,
“Follow the footprints.”
She led the way in front and removed the Five-clawed Golden Hook from the system. Once she fell, she could quickly grab onto the big tree beside her to ensure she did not fall into the dark hole.
Li Daniu and a group of bodyguards followed Su Qing closely toward the Northern Barbarians. Su Qing suddenly had a thought. She did not just want to save them. This was a great opportunity..
