Kou Zhong sighed and said, “But what I was just thinking was not this ht”
The last sentence attracted Xu Ziling’s attention; astounded, he asked about it

Shaken, Kou Zhong said, “You are right Meeting this drenching rain head-on is like being awakened froto the west, but the ene, they would discover our track; the two of us ht be able to escape, but the others would certainly reatly terrible”
On the road outside the forest, a caravan of more than thirty carts slowly passed by The road has been turning intosaid, “I have an idea, which isthe route that the enemy would never expect, but weus, otherwise, if we get lost, the result will be even worse”
Kou Zhong shook his head, “No!” he said, “We et there in the quickest possible way Ay! It see the day and travel during the night as was originally planned, and take his amble”
Suddenly the sound of hoof beats arose
The two boys ju to the hoof beats, they knew that there was a large group of riders co the rain
They waited in silence Not too long afterwards, hundreds Jiang Huai troops swept past, galloping to a certain destination in full speed
Stunned, Kou Zhong said, “Did you see it?”
Nodding, Xu Ziling replied, “Of course I did I even recognized Rong Fengxiang, Zuo Youxian, a ireatly aroused, he sprang up and said, “Since we are heading that direction anyway, how could we miss this exciteainst each other was getting closer and closer, by the tirassland shrouded by the heavy rain beloas already covered in dead bodies Under the leadershi+p of Fu Gongyou, the Jiang Huai Ar and Zuo Youxian, twosuperiority They were pursuing and attacking the ene asaid, “Unexpectedly there are sohis hand to his forehead to shelter his eyes fro Huai Army nuht hundred you already setup an ambush here, and then launched a pincer attack from the front and rear, in oneat the way they are deploying the troops, surely it was a carefully thought strategy No wonder Jiang Huai Ar any defeat”
The two boys galloped down to the plain to examine the dead and wounded, one of which had not breathed his last Kou Zhong jumped down his horse and propped him up, “What happened?” he asked, “Who are you? Who wanted to kill you?”
The hed up blood, looked like he would nottransmitted his internal qi, the you,” he said in panic, “We have fallen into their trap”
“Isn’t yourhis head, the man replied, “No! We are under General Bai’s leadershi+p … Ah …”
“Which side are you on?” Kou Zhong called out, then he slowly put the round, wiped his eyes, and then he stood up and raised his areneral is surna for an answer Casting his gaze around to inspect the situation on this side, he said, “Theseinal identity, so they were in some kind of conspiracy If you chase the flew up to ht up with hiyou, nothing is h these ’s subordinates, theyWe still have important matter at hand, do you really want to ht!” Kou Zhong agreed, “Let’s go”
Reining in their horses, they turned around, bypassing the plain where the battle was still going on, passing through the forest and cli a ten-li stretch of road running parallel to a stream, before the two boys stopped
Even with their power, after enduring constant activities without sleeping day and night for several days, the two boys were finally unable to bear it anyrass, the boys ate their dry rations
