2456: C2456 Retreat

C2456 Retreat

Lu Yizha didn't even turn his head and continued fleeing with the rest of his men. Soon, they disappeared into the night sky.

As for the few people left behind by Lu Yizha, they each took out their weapons and waited vigilantly for the pursuers to arrive.

The pursuers did not seem to have expected that someone would stay behind and wait for death. After all, although they did not have many people, they had bows and arrows. There were swords, sabers, and even horses. In addition, the reinforcements behind them were about to arrive. So, staying at this time was no different from seeking death.

The few followers who were left behind were also very brave and did not wait for death at the same place. Instead, they took the initiative to attack the pursuers. The pursuers did not have time to react. Two of them were even chopped off from their horses on the spot and fell to the ground. Then, they were killed by a few of their followers.

The other few people hurriedly controlled their horses to maintain a certain distance from the followers. Then, they started shooting arrows at them. At this time, they did not have the energy and opportunity to chase after Lu Yizha and the others.

Although they left a few people behind to stop the soldiers chasing them, but... Lu Yizha still did not dare to lower his guard, disregarding the exhaustion on his body. He kept rushing forward. At this time, it wasn't too long before the sun rose. He had to find a suitable place to hide before dawn, otherwise... After the sun rose, his line of sight was good. If he were to escape with his men in this empty place... It was certain that he would be caught.

Fortunately, Lu Yizha's luck was not bad, even though he was in a place like this outside of the pass. Overall, it was very spacious and flat. However... There were also some small hills or forests... Lu Yizha and the rest of the people hid in a rather dense forest. That place wasn't very big, and it was just nice for them to hide.

Not long after Lu Yizha and the others hid, the sky lit up. The pursuers behind them were getting closer and closer, although they hadn't seen them yet. However, they could already hear the sound of horses galloping. As expected... Not long after, a large number of cavalry appeared in their line of sight. There were at least a thousand of them.

These pursuers had already caught up. Then, the fate of the few followers left behind by Lu Yizha... One could also imagine... However, Lu Yizha didn't feel any pity or sadness about it. The lives of his followers were worthless in his eyes. What he valued more was his own safety.

And now, his situation was very dangerous, so he was only worried about his own safety, and not the people who had already died.

"Who exactly are these people?" Seeing the cavalry getting closer and closer, Lu Yizha once again had this kind of doubt in his heart.

These cavalry troops were strict and disciplined, and they ran in an orderly manner. Clearly, they were completely different from those undisciplined horse bandits, and were more like people in the army. However, why did they have to dress like horse bandits? What was their purpose? Moreover, if they were really soldiers in the army... Then... Which country's army are they from, and why are they here? Are they waiting for me?

Many questions troubled Lu Yizha. He felt that his brain was not enough. It was alright to let him lead troops to war, but he had to consider these problems. It was really hard on him. At this time, he began to miss the middle-aged messenger who died in Cangling Mountain. If the messenger was still alive, perhaps he would know the purpose of these people. He would also be able to think of a way to free himself.

When he thought of this middle-aged messenger, Lu Yizha suddenly had an idea. He clearly remembered it. Before the middle-aged messenger died, he had talked to him. At that time, the middle-aged messenger had told him that except for those Great Lu Dynasty from the Rebellion Soldier... He didn't want to see the marriage between the Fengjue Country and the Great Lu Dynasty succeed. Those countries around the Fengjue Country... He also didn't want to see this happen. Therefore... It was very likely that they would take some action to destroy this marriage.

And it was precisely because of this concern that... That was why the middle-aged messenger contacted the country in advance and asked the Emperor to send someone to pick them up, to prevent them from encountering any danger outside the pass.

"Could these people be people from the surrounding countries?" Lu Yizha looked at the cavalry that was getting closer and closer and thought in his heart. He was also very nervous right now. Once those people found out where he was hiding... No matter how brave he was, under the encirclement of so many people... At that time, he would really die.

And his surroundings were relatively empty. No matter how nervous he was... There was no other place to hide. He stood up at this time. He would be exposed directly during the day. It was impossible for them to escape from the eyes of the cavalry.

Therefore, even if he was nervous and afraid, Lu Yizha had no other choice. He could only pray in his heart that those people would not notice them.

It seemed that Lu Yizha's prayers had worked. The cavalry came from a place not far in front of them. They whistled past and chased after them. They did not expect that there would be someone hiding in this small patch of grass. Those people guessed that Lu Yizha and the others had already escaped to the front.

Looking at the cavalry troops that were continuously disappearing, Lu Yizha let out a sigh of relief in his heart. The other party obviously did not have a good impression of him. Once he was discovered... He would definitely not have a good ending. Fortunately, those people did not notice him.

Only after those cavalry troops left did Lu Yizha have the mood to continue thinking about the previous problems.

Previously, Lu Yizha suspected that these people were the problems that the middle-aged messenger was worried about. These people were very likely people from the armies of the surrounding countries. Their goal was to assassinate him and the princess of the Great Lu Dynasty. They were here to destroy the marriage alliance between the two countries.

"I didn't expect that Sir would be right about this matter. Those people really came." Lu Yizha said to himself, "This should be a team from a country. If you are right, then... Then, there must be soldiers from other countries around here. "

Thinking of this, Lu Yizha's heart became heavier and heavier. He seemed to have sensed the strong hostility from the surrounding people. Although he knew that his country's troops should be waiting for him not far away from here, however, he didn't know the exact location... And... If he wanted to find them, he might run into people from other countries on the way. And, this possibility is very high, there are too many small countries around... They would not be willing to see their own countries and Great Lu Dynasty stop fighting. Therefore... Must have come to ruin it.

If it was before, he had an army under his command, and Lu Yizha would not even put these thousand cavalry troops in his eyes. However, he only had a dozen or so subordinates with him now. That was obviously not enough. If the other party discovered him... Their outcome would definitely not be good.

Lu Yizha saw that his subordinates were all looking at him. It was obvious that they were waiting for his orders. Whether they should continue to walk forward, retreat, or hide here was up to Lu Yizha to decide.

Lu Yizha thought for a moment and said, "Let's stay here for now. We'll wait until the sky turns dark and return to the pass at the back of the road."

What Lu Yizha wanted the most was to bring his subordinates back to the country. As long as they returned to the country, there would be no problems. However, this was not easy. The people from the surrounding countries had already sent people over. Then, they would definitely lock down the road he was going to return to the country. Even if it was to meet up with the team to pick him up, it would be very difficult. There must be a lot of cavalry like that around him. He wanted to rely on his two legs. It was very difficult to return from under their noses.

Therefore, Lu Yizha decided to retreat back to the pass at the back. He would find a remote place to hide in the pass, just like before. After that, he waited for the wedding procession to arrive. He would meet up with Lin Yu and the others and follow the escort team back to the country. With the Imperial Guards by his side, Lu Yizha felt more confident.

Furthermore, because of the ambush in Cangling Mountain, the escort team had suffered heavy losses. Lin Yu and the others might have already asked for reinforcements from the Imperial Court, but once they received reinforcements... Then, the strength of the escort team would be restored a little. At that time, he would be safer if he followed inside.

The other followers naturally had no objections to Lu Yizha's decision. Hence, they hid in the grass and waited for the sky to turn dark.2

During the day, Lu Yizha and the others saw several cavalry teams. As they passed by, there were only two to three hundred people in these cavalry teams. The number of people they had was two to three hundred. The larger group consisted of thousands of people, all of whom were cavalry. Moreover, they were all dressed like mounted bandits.

However, at this moment, Lu Yizha already knew that they were all fake mounted bandits. Furthermore, Lu Yizha had also confirmed his previous guess. These people must be from the surrounding countries. Obviously... There must be more than one force coming here. The surrounding countries... They may have taken action, and they are constantly roaming around the area. They were searching for Lu Yizha and the others.

Lu Yizha felt somewhat fortunate in his heart. Fortunately, he did not continue walking forward. Otherwise, the possibility of being discovered was still very high. Once he was discovered, there was no need to say what would happen to him. Therefore, Lu Yizha wanted to return to the pass and meet up with Lin Yu and the others.

However, what Lu Yizha didn't know was that after Lin Yu found Princess Qi, he didn't leave the camp immediately. Instead, he continued to look for him. Therefore, Lin Yu and the others were still camping near Cangling Mountain.

When the news of Princess Qi returning to the camp spread, all the forces in the camp became nervous. They knew that a war would break out at any time.
