Chapter 951

~5 min read 852 words

As long as the Qin people had any unusual movements, they would leave here immediately.

The hard-won precious rest time was not wasted by the Xiongnu.

They took out their dry rations and chewed them one after another.

Eating meat and drinking water in large gulps; only after being full would they have the strength to run.

The horses were also eating grass slowly.

Some horses were even so tired that they sat directly on the ground.

They didn't even want to eat grass.

Half an hour later.

There was still no movement from the Qin side.

Prince Modu and the others finally felt a bit relieved.

Although they didn't know what the Qin people wanted to do, being vigilant was never wrong.

Just like this.

Prince Modu and the others, in their torment,

spent another two hours.

At this time, the sky gradually darkened.

"What's the situation?"

"Did the Qin people really give up?"

"Then do we not need to run?"

"It's really confusing."

"Regardless, let's stay vigilant."

"Who knows if the Qin people are doing this on purpose, just wanting us to relax our vigilance before chasing again?"

"It's rare to have rested for a few hours; now I feel comfortable all over!"

The generals' tone was a bit suspicious.

But resting for a few hours made their spirits much fuller.

Even if they started running now, they wouldn't collapse immediately.

"Stop talking."

"Perhaps this is the Qin people's conspiracy, but we haven't discovered what it is yet."

"We've stayed here for so long."

"Let's leave here first."

Prince Modu didn't dare to stay any longer.

Night had fallen, and they needed to leave here.

The Qin people had also rested for so long; what if they surrounded them later?

It was safer to leave here.

Regarding Prince Modu's words, the generals had no objections.

They didn't want to be surrounded.

Today's matter was too wrong; they had to be vigilant.

The Xiongnu army continued to set off.

Not long after running, the sky gradually darkened.

Fortunately, there were stars in the sky, so they could see the environment somewhat.

It was pitch black on this vast grassland, so the speed naturally slowed down.

Just like this, they ran about seven or eight li.

The army finally stopped.

After all, it was really not suitable to travel in the middle of the night.

After Prince Modu and the others stopped, they immediately began to pay attention to the movements behind them.

If the Qin people chased, the movement would definitely be very loud.

Now it was quiet behind them, without a trace of movement.

Prince Modu finally felt relieved.

Although he didn't know what the Qin people wanted to do,

being careful was never wrong, so he immediately arranged for people to be on guard.

They absolutely could not let the Qin people surround them.

The generals also knew the seriousness of this situation.

Therefore, they were very attentive to the matter of guarding.

Throughout the night, many of the cavalrymen among them didn't dare to rest.

Some didn't even rest for a night, fearing that the Qin cavalry would attack.

Only a small portion couldn't hold on and fell asleep.

This night was spent in torment.

Until a glimmer of light appeared in the dark night sky.

The first ray of sunlight shone on the earth.

This night was safely passed.

The sky gradually brightened, a gray haze.

The Xiongnu army all moved.

Prince Modu and the others discovered that the Qin people hadn't launched a sneak attack.

This made them unable to understand what was going on.

During the time the Qin people were resting, they had run more than ten li.

Now they were far enough away from the Qin people.

They looked behind them.

They could no longer see the figures of the Qin people behind them.

"Your Highness, are we safe now?"

"It seems the Qin people really gave up."

"Otherwise, they would have chased by now, right?"

"It's really strange, why did they give up the pursuit?"

"I don't understand; maybe they felt they couldn't catch up and gave up."

"Forget it, it's better if they don't chase."

"Then we are truly free and safe."

The generals were overjoyed.

A smile bloomed on everyone's face.

Some hadn't slept all night and had dark circles under their eyes.

But they were happy from the bottom of their hearts.

"It's a good thing the Qin people don't chase."

"It's just that this matter is a bit strange, so we must not lower our guard."

"Let's continue on our way."

"Let's get away from here first."

Prince Modu also couldn't understand why the Qin people stopped pursuing.

Even if there was a conspiracy, he couldn't guess it.

For now, they could only get away from here.

Under Prince Modu's instruction, the army continued to set off.

After running for several hours, they were even further away from the Qin people.

There was still no one behind them.

This time, Prince Modu and the others were completely relieved.

The army stopped again to rest. ===== CHAPTER 953 =====
