Chapter 1248

Duan Liuqing on the carriage looked extremely haggard.

This was already the fifth day since Duan Liuqing escaped from Luoyang.

In order to completely lure away the attention of Luoyang city, Duan Liuqing had to drive the carriage; only in this way would the pursuers behind think that the person in the carriage was the Empress.

Looking at Caoyang Pavilion, which was gradually shrouded in darkness in the distance, Duan Liuqing's gaze was firm.

Five days!

As long as she could delay the pursuers behind for another two or three days, she thought Hongchan would be safe, and then there would be no need to delay the pursuers behind.

However, just as Duan Liuqing was thinking, suddenly a "clack" sound came from under the carriage.

Immediately following, Duan Liuqing on the carriage felt the carriage body tilt.

Boom, clack.

The carriage body fell to the ground and instantly fell apart.

Duan Liuqing on the carriage was also instantly thrown out from the broken carriage body and rolled to the side of the road.

The warhorse pulling the carriage was startled and neighed, galloping toward the darkness ahead.

And the assassins of the Military Intelligence Department guarding the sides of the carriage immediately pulled the reins of their warhorses.

For a moment, everything around was in chaos.

"Eldest Miss."

"Eldest Miss..."

The assassins of the Military Intelligence Department, who dismounted, came to Duan Liuqing's side.

Duan Liuqing, who was struggling to support her body with both arms, bit her lip and shook her head: "I'm fine, I'm fine, leave here immediately, we cannot let the pursuers behind..."

Boom, rumble!

Boom, rumble!

Before Duan Liuqing's words could fall, the sound of galloping hoofbeats rang out from behind her.

The sound was dense, shaking the sand and stones on the ground.

So fast!

Duan Liuqing looked back in the direction behind her.

At this moment, the setting sun was about to set, and only a touch of the afterglow of the setting sun was making its final struggle.

"Help me up, leave quickly, we cannot let them see the clues," Duan Liuqing instructed the assassin beside her.

Two assassins of the Military Intelligence Department immediately stood up and helped Duan Liuqing.

Duan Liuqing, who stood up, tried to stand firm, but a piercing pain came from her ankle.

An assassin of the Military Intelligence Department had already led a warhorse over.

The remaining few were already prepared to fight for their lives behind Duan Liuqing.

The sound of hoofbeats behind her was getting closer and closer.

When Duan Liuqing mounted the horse, she could already hear the loud shouts of the pursuers behind her.

It seemed that they had seen the figures of Duan Liuqing's party, and the speed of the pursuers' horses increased again.

In the lead was a general with a broad build, holding a large saber, wearing thick armor.

"There, their carriage is broken, chase them!"

"Kill everyone who is unrelated, do not harm the life of the He clan!"

Ji Ling, who was in the lead, let out a loud roar.

Behind him were a thousand Huben soldiers.

Having fled for several days in a row, Duan Liuqing's party and their horses were already exhausted.

And the Huben Army pursuing them were all riding two horses each.

"Eldest Miss, go first."

The assassin of the Military Intelligence Department, who helped Duan Liuqing onto the horse, turned and met the pursuing Huben Army behind him.

Duan Liuqing on horseback looked back.

Although she knew it was like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, there was no other way.

From the first day she joined the Military Intelligence Department, Liu Bai Tu had taught them.

They would face many dangers in the future, and might be killed because of mission failure or exposure.

Of course, as intelligence personnel, they might also suffer torture and interrogation.

However, as members of the Military Intelligence Department, their only mission was to be loyal to their Master, and to put the Master's interests first, even if they were crushed to pieces!

Duan Liuqing, with her teeth biting her red lips, turned silently, and the teardrops condensed in her beautiful eyes were shaken off from the corners of her eyes.

"Kill!"

"For the Master!"

"Kill!"

Behind Duan Liuqing.

Several assassins of the Military Intelligence Department, who were blocking the official road side by side, spurred their horses and charged toward the Huben Army behind them.

"Hmph!"

"Mayflies shaking a tree, overestimating their capabilities!" The general Ji Ling on horseback let out a cold snort: "Shoot!"

After the order, the first row of Huben cavalry following Ji Ling took out the already-strung powerful crossbows from the pockets hanging on their saddles.

A buzzing sound rang out.

Dozens of crossbow bolts shot rapidly toward the oncoming assassins of the Military Intelligence Department with the sound of piercing the air.

Pfft, pfft, pfft, pfft!

The sound of sharp arrows piercing flesh and blood rang out.

The assassins of the Military Intelligence Department wearing black robes were instantly shot off their warhorses.

The riderless warhorses collided head-on with the charging Huben Army, and were knocked to the ground amidst the sounds of wailing and neighing.

When the ruthless hooves trampled over, the few people who fell to the ground were instantly trampled.

And after reaching close range, seeing only one petite figure mounting a warhorse, Ji Ling was stunned for a moment.

Not right!

The debris on the ground proved that the carriage should have just broken.

But why was there only one woman?

Shouldn't it be He Lingsi and He Lingman?

Besides, He Lingsi was six months pregnant, how could her movements be so agile and she could still ride a horse?

This is not right!

In an instant, Ji Ling seemed to be struck by a bolt of lightning.

It's ruined!
