C26 (1/2)

Zhang Bao withdrew his horse and sheathed his blade, while the other Feng Soldier followed suit. The Ning Country Protector originally wanted to get close to Tang Yin, but in the end, not only did he not get to his side, he was even snatched away by the opponent's blade.

When Subordinate brought the warhorse back, Tang Yin grabbed Yu Shang's neck and carried him on his back as he mounted a war horse.

Without him saying anything, Zhang Bao and the rest all mounted their horses as well, and as they all looked towards Tang Yin, they waited for his next order.

After getting on the horse, Tang Yin placed Yu Shang horizontally on the saddle, and then shouted at Yuan Kui: ”Get your Subordinate out of the way, I want to pass.”

”Then, Your Highness …”

”After we pass and are certain of our safety, I will naturally let him come back!” Tang Yin said.

Yuan Kui roared: Why should I believe your words?! If Tang Yin passed the trial and let Yu Shang go, or even killed him, who would he find to justify his actions?

Tang Yin shrugged and said: ”If you don't believe me, I have no other choice. Then, I can only die together with him.” Saying that, he whipped Yu Shang's back twice with the reins in his hand.

His strength was not great, but Yu Shang could not help but let out a miserable scream like a pig being butchered. His four limbs danced as he wailed, ”Don't kill me! ”Don't kill me!”

The pampered Yu Shang, who usually lived in the palace and was being protected by others, had never seen such a scene before. He roared: ”Yuan Kui, do as he says, quickly do as he says!”

Yuan Kui's head started to ache, Yu Shang's shout at the top of his lungs was also making his head hurt, he could not think of a way to deal with it.

In the end, he sighed to himself. Now, he could only take things one step at a time! He waved his hand and shouted, ”Let them pass.”

The military order was like a landslide.

Following Yuan Kui's command, the surrounding crowd of Ning Country soldiers moved to the sides like tidewaters, opening up a two meter wide path.

Without hesitation, Tang Yin shook his head at Subordinate: ”Let's go!”

With Yu Shang's trump card in their hands, Tang Yin and the rest walked out of the encirclement unhindered, and rushed towards the exit.

Yu Shang was still in the enemy's hands, how could Yuan Kui dare to let them go like this? Leading a group of soldiers and generals, he quickly chased after them.

Right now, Tang Yin and the other few dozen people were in front, while Yuan Kui and the other few thousand soldiers of the General of Ning Country were behind, maintaining a distance of only a dozen metres between the two sides.

After exiting the checkpoint, seeing that the other party was still not giving up, Tang Yin pulled his horse's reins and stopped, turning his head to shout: ”All of you stop, don't chase anymore!”

”Release His Highness first!” Yuan Kui replied.

”Impossible.” Tang Yin rejected his bluntly.

”Then I won't just let you leave either!” Yuan Kui said.

Tang Yin slightly narrowed his eyes. He met Yuan Kui's gaze and saw Yuan Kui's determination in the other party's eyes. He knew that this should be the other party's bottom line.

Just as he was thinking about how to get rid of the other party, he heard a faint sound of fighting coming from the south. Due to the distance, he wasn't able to hear it clearly.

He frowned. Could it be that someone was still trying to break through the Ning Country barrier? After pondering for a moment, he suddenly thought of Wu Mei, Wu Ying and the rest.

It seemed that even if he managed to attract the main force of the Ning people, Wu Mei's side wouldn't be progressing smoothly.

Tang Yin had originally planned to head east to the Tong Gate, but he changed his mind.

Zhang Bao was puzzled, he anxiously chased after Tang Yin and asked: ”Big Brother Tang, don't we need to go back to Tong Gate? Where are we going now? ”

Tang Yin said: ”Looking for Wu Mei, without their assistance, even if we only relied on a few dozen of us, it would probably be difficult for us to return to Tong Gate.”

”General Wu?” Zhang Bao said suspiciously, ”The General Wu should have already passed the test!”

”Not necessarily!”

Tang Yin's six senses were extremely strong and he was able to hear the sounds of fighting coming from afar, but he did not hear anything.

Sixteen of them, thirty war horses, galloped towards the southern part of the checkpoint.

Yuan Kui and the rest did not give up, following closely behind.

After running frantically for around ten minutes, he looked at the Ning Country barrier in front of him. Dust was flying, swords were flashing, and the sounds of battle shook the skies.

From afar, one could see the occasional spurt of blood into the air.

After Tang Yin saw this, he sped up his horse and rushed forward with all his might.

Not long after, he approached the edge of the battlefield, tightened the reins of his horse, and shouted, ”All of you, stop!”

This shout was like a thunderclap, instantly calming down the originally chaotic and tragic battlefield.

Without waiting for Tang Yin to take a closer look, someone from the crowd exclaimed, ”Tang Yin!”

Tang Yin looked over the source of the sound and saw a golden-armored general looking at him with a pair of bright eyes. The general's entire body was covered by the golden armor and he wore a golden mask on his face, leaving only his eyes outside. Although he could not see the general's appearance, through those eyes, Tang Yin could still determine who he was.
