Chapter 722

Leading them was a Huang Jin general in armor, riding on horseback.

Inside the courtyard, Xun Cai, the attendant, and the maid turned pale upon hearing the shouts.

"Quick, run!"

Xun Cai stood up in a hurry.

The attendant resting against the door also quickly opened the gate, and the group fled outside.

The little girl, held in arms and unaware of what was happening, was instantly terrified and began to wail.

Outside the courtyard, the Huang Jin soldiers chasing the attendant heard the child's crying and spotted Xun Cai's group.

"There are more over there! Don't let them run! Not a single one can get away!"

"Catch them!"

Seeing the bandits chasing from behind, Xun Cai was terrified, her face pale, and she did not dare to stop for even a second.

However, just as Xun Cai was fleeing with her attendants and maid.

A troop of cavalry suddenly appeared in front of them.

They were all on tall horses, wearing black armor, and the battle flags fluttering in the wind were embroidered with a large character: 'Duan'.

Seeing the cavalry suddenly appear in front, a brilliant light shone in Xun Cai's eyes.

The Han army.

Xun Cai recognized at a glance that the force before her was definitely Han cavalry.

"Save us! Please, save us!"

Xun Cai shouted for help, "I am the daughter of Xun Shuang of the Yingyin Xun clan! General, please save us!"

Not far away, Gao Shun, who had reined in his horse at the entrance of Xunshui Pavilion, frowned slightly.

He then signaled to the deputy general beside him, saying, "Stop these people; do not let them leave."

"Understood." The deputy general behind him nodded.

Gao Shun then turned his gaze toward the Huang Jin soldiers chasing Xun Cai.

Seemingly having seen Gao Shun, those Huang Jin soldiers stopped their pursuit.

They then casually removed the yellow turbans from their heads and took off the earthy-yellow jackets that symbolized the Way of Peace, revealing the black standard-issue armor underneath.

Black armor, horizontal blades, sharp eyes, and sturdy builds.

How could these be Huang Jin bandits?

However, Xun Cai, who was running toward them as if she had seen a lifeline, did not notice what was happening behind her.

She only focused on calling for help.

Behind Gao Shun, dozens of riders charged out, heading straight for Xun Cai and her attendants and maid.

Seeing that her plea for help had been answered, Xun Cai slowed her pace, and her tense expression relaxed.

Just when Xun Cai thought she was about to be saved.

The dozens of cavalrymen who had charged out from Gao Shun's sides circled around Xun Cai, her maid, and her attendants, surrounding them in the middle.

Xun Cai was instantly flustered and said, "We are not bandits! I am a member of the Yingyin Xun clan; my father is Xun Shuang, and my name is Xun Cai."

Xun Cai looked at Gao Shun not far away.

Gao Shun rode forward, followed by hundreds of cavalrymen.

Gradually, Xun Cai noticed something was wrong.

Even if this Han army unit mistook them for bandits.

There were still so many bandits behind them.

Why was this general not in the least bit anxious?

He didn't even order a charge against the bandits?

When Gao Shun rode up to Xun Cai and gave his first order, Xun Cai was instantly panicked.

Gao Shun, with a dark face, looked expressionlessly at Xun Cai, as well as her maid and attendants.

He then waved his hand and said, "Tie them all up first and lock them away; we will figure out how to deal with them later."

Xun Cai's eyes widened instantly.

Her eyes were filled with terror.

When the soldiers swarmed forward, Xun Cai even forgot to resist.

The attendants and the maid shouted loudly for help.

But Xun Cai saw that the Huang Jin bandits who had just been chasing her attendant had already removed their earthy-yellow jackets and the yellow turbans from their heads.

They were wearing the standard-issue armor of the Han army.

Realizing what this meant, Xun Cai's eyes turned deathly grey.

"Take them away," Gao Shun said coldly. ===== CHAPTER 724 =====
