Chapter 1990: Chapter 723 - 721: Refugees, Baoya Leading the Way_1

Little Kingfisher saw it clearly and spoke up for the Imperial Court for the first time.

“The Empress’s secret decree is to capture the Second Imperial Princess. It’s nearly impossible for an Imperial Court spy to take a living person out of the heavily guarded chieftain’s tent,”

“Hey.”

Qingluo sighed deeply and felt some resentment towards the Empress.

A traitorous princess should just be killed and done with.

Why do they need to capture her alive, so that innocent female officials are sacrificed?

“Go quickly, once we cross the West Ridge Mountain Range, we’ll be safe.”

“The mountain is so high, when will we be able to cross it? I’m exhausted.”

“I can’t climb anymore.”

“Even if you can’t climb, you have to. The Qiyan Light Cavalry is at the foot of the mountain, if you don’t want to be shot dead by them, you have to climb even if it breaks your legs.”

“Damn it, those inhumane beasts are using living people for target practice. The heavens will punish them with a thunderbolt someday, striking them all dead!”

“You few, hurry up and save your energy by talking less. If you don’t run faster, the Qiyan Light Cavalry will catch up.”

A group of refugees was climbing up the mountain path, helping each other, and some were cursing and complaining to vent their anger.

Most people had a blank expression, dragging their heavy steps, gritting their teeth, and not daring to fall behind.

A woman carrying a baby became dizzy from hunger and swayed a few times before uncontrollably falling forward.

“Mother!”

The six or seven-year-old girl screamed when she saw her mother’s eyes closed with a bleeding head.

She squatted down helplessly, trying to lift her mother up but had too little strength, and wept loudly out of desperation.

“Tweet tweet.”

A crisp bird’s song came with the wind, and in the blink of an eye, a small bright red kingfisher flew past like lightning, arriving in a flash.

“Master, there’s a group of refugees halfway up the mountain. A woman has fainted and is bleeding from her head. If we don’t treat her soon, she might be in danger.”

Little Kingfisher stood on a tree branch and told its master exactly what it had seen.

“Got it, I’ll be right there.”

Upon receiving the message, Lin Qingluo did not hesitate, released Lightning’s reins, and jumped onto the tree branch. Like a wisp of green smoke, she followed the direction Little Kingfisher pointed out.

“Little sister?”

“Master!”

The remaining young men shouted in surprise without knowing why.

“Ahwoo.”

Baoya arched its body on the horseback, stretched a lazy waist, and raised its front paw to point at itself, then the forest ahead.@@novelbin@@

“Baoya says it will lead the way to find Master in the forest halfway up the mountain,” Mo Canglan timely translated.

“Baoya, we’re counting on you. We’ll follow you.”

Lin Jinlong had witnessed Baoya’s extraordinary abilities and trust it very much.

“Ahwoo.”

Baoya made two obedient calls and jumped off the horse to lead the way in front.

“Keep up.”

Lin Jinlong waved his right hand, led the horse, and briskly went down the mountain.

The other young men also led their horses, walking one after another on the rugged mountain path.

Wang Meng was alert, observing the surroundings, and occasionally looking up at the giant eagle hovering above the mountain peak.

“The giant eagle hasn’t signaled any danger. Go quickly and find Master first,” Feng Yi urged as he followed behind.

“Not far ahead is Qiang City, one of the three border cities. If we go further down the mountain, it will be the range of the Qiyan Light Cavalry,” Wang Meng said nervously, not daring to relax for a moment.

“The giant eagle has sharp eyes. If there is any danger, it will signal a warning,” Feng Yi replied, unconcerned. “For now, we are still in a safe area. The mountain is high and steep, and the cavalry can’t come up.”
