Yu Huangqing looked at Bai Zhiyuan quietly, and Bai Zhiyuan looked back at him with naked murderous intent in his eyes.

Yu Huangqing knew that facing such an opponent, he could not be careless. His only goal was to capture her and take her away.

Yu Huangqing narrowed his eyes slightly and waved back again. This time, the remaining dozen people all surrounded her.

Seeing this, Bai Zhiyuan quickly came to the side of her horse. Yu Huangqing thought she was going to get on the horse and run away, but Bai Zhiyuan took advantage of the horse's cover, quickly untied the horse's reins with one hand, raised his head and shouted: "Yu Huangqing!"

Yu Huangqing looked in the direction the voice came from, and saw a rope being put over his head, and before he could react, it was immediately tightened.

He was about to draw his sword to cut the rope, but the other end of the rope was still on the horse. Bai Zhiyuan hit the horse's back hard with the hilt of his sword, and the horse was frightened by the pain and ran away. Yu Huangqing fell to the ground on the spot and was dragged forward by the horse.

Yu Huangqing was unable to break free for a moment. The people behind him were also stunned by the sudden change in front of them, and they all rode their horses to rescue people without caring about Bai Zhiyuan.

Bai Zhiyuan looked around and saw that it was getting dark. She got on Yu Huangqing's horse and immediately galloped down the mountain.

She knew that Yu Huangqing would break free soon and would not give up.

Just as Bai Zhiyuan expected, Yu Huangqing was stunned for only a moment, then he quickly regained his composure, struggled to pull out the dagger from his body, cut the rope with the knife, and escaped from danger.

His clothes had been worn out, and the skin on his back was torn and he looked miserable. When his men finally caught up with him, his face was so gloomy that ink could drip out of it.

The subordinate hesitated and asked, "Prince, the person has already escaped. She must have fled back to the northern camp. Should we go back quickly? If she returns with soldiers, we will be in danger."

This time, they came to the Northern Border with the intention of sneaking into the Northern Border camp while Xie Yunsong was away, letting them experience the pain of having their food and grass burned, and disrupting the morale of the Northern Border Army. They originally disagreed with the prince taking the risk himself, but Yu Huangqing was extremely conceited. He thought that Xie Yunsong had been able to bring people to Yanzhou before, so he would be able to escape unscathed this time.

I didn't expect that before I arrived at the Northern Border Camp today, I would run into the woman next to Xie Yunsong. If I take her back, it would make Xie Yunsong more distressed than burning the food and grass.

Yu Huangqing stared ahead with a vicious look. Dusk was falling and the forest ahead was pitch black.

Yu Huangqing gritted his teeth and said, "Chase! She must not have arrived at the camp yet, we must catch her!"

Bai Zhiyuan didn't expect that Yu Huangqing would catch up so quickly. Seeing that she was still far away from the camp, Yu Huangqing and dozens of others were already behind her, and they began to shoot arrows at her. Bai Zhiyuan could only take out the dry food in the horse bag, abandon the horse, and hide first.

It is too easy to expose yourself on horseback, so it is better to move towards the camp on foot.

Yu Huangqing searched in the mountains, and finally found only the horse that Bai Zhiyuan had abandoned, while the man had completely disappeared.

Time passed by, if she returned to the camp, they would naturally be unable to escape. Yu Huangqing knew this, but he had been defeated by this woman time and time again, how could he be willing?

Yu Huangqing stood beside a mountain, his eyes fixed on the front, and said, "Keep searching, we must catch her tonight. She has a noble status in Dali, and it is worth our risk. Besides, Xie Yunsong is not in the camp now. As long as we surround her, no one can save her."

"I have sent two people to the place where the northern camp must pass. If they find her, they will naturally give us a signal. But there is still no news at the moment, which means she has not returned to the camp yet."

"Let's set fire now. I don't believe we can't force her out!"

The men were shocked and said, "No! Prince, this will attract soldiers from the northern border."

Yu Huangqing said coldly: "Of course I know, she must be nearby. As long as we catch her, the Northern Border soldiers will not dare to do anything to us. Go quickly!"

Meanwhile, Xie Yunsong in Yanzhou was feeling uneasy today. Bai Zhiyuan had been unhappy since his master's death, and he was worried about him. After much thought, he left Zhou Yehan behind and took a group of people with him, preparing to rush back to the northern camp overnight.

Yu Huangqing's subordinates here knew that Yu Huangqing always kept his word, so they no longer questioned him and began to act, vowing to force Bai Zhiyuan out.

Bai Zhiyuan abandoned her horse and moved towards the camp, but encountered Yu Huangqing's men who were guarding in front. If they fought at this time, she would be able to kill the two men with her martial arts, but she was exhausted today and had not eaten for a day, so she was afraid that Yu Huangqing would be alarmed soon.

Bai Zhiyuan thought for a moment, and found a relatively hidden mountain wall, ready to hide first. No matter what Yu Huangqing was planning, his attention was now all on himself, and he had no time to care about the Northern Border Army. Tianlin would definitely send someone to look for her when he saw that she was missing. As long as she hid for another night, Liang Yu Huangqing would not dare to stay here.

Bai Zhiyuan urgently needed a good rest. She took a bite of the dry food she took out from Yu Huangqing's horse and drank some water, then she relaxed a little.

Suddenly, Bai Zhiyuan saw a large cloud of thick smoke rising at the foot of the mountain. The fire was rapidly devouring the dry dead wood and was spreading rapidly up the mountain.

Bai Zhiyuan was shocked. Yu Huangqing had been in trouble with him several times, but he had come up with such a dangerous method to force him to show up. If the people in the camp saw the fire, they would definitely be suspicious and reinforcements would come soon. He only needed to hold on for a while longer to escape, and by then, Yu Huangqing would not be able to escape either.

Bai Zhiyuan stood there for a moment, and when the fire spread to the top of the mountain, he walked to another area where there was no fire, looking for a hiding place.

She had just taken a few steps when people appeared on her left and right, blocking her way.

She stopped, looked up, and met Yu Huangqing's excited gaze.

"Catch him alive!" he ordered.

Everyone around him rushed towards Bai Zhiyuan. Yu Huangqing looked at her with a determined smile on his face.

Bai Zhiyuan drew her sword and tangled with those people. After several rounds, she was a little exhausted. The person closest to her pressed forward step by step, trying to subdue her completely.

Bai Zhiyuan used the tip of his sword to kick up dust on the ground, and the sand flew into the eyes of the two people in front of him. The two men stopped and covered their eyes, unable to open them.

Bai Zhiyuan didn't pause for a moment. She pointed her sword directly at Yu Huangqing, jumped up from the ground and rushed straight over.

By the time the rest of the people reacted, Bai Zhiyuan was already fighting with Yu Huangqing. She knew that she had to quickly deal with Yu Huangqing, otherwise everyone would surround her and she would have no choice but to surrender.

Yu Huangqing was obviously still in shock, and was very passive under her attack. She stabbed him in the left shoulder. At this time, the remaining dozen people had already surrounded him. Bai Zhiyuan was startled and lost his mind for a moment, and was grabbed by Yu Huangqing's shoulder.

The guards were only one step away, and Yu Huangqing was holding her shoulders tightly. At this moment, she suddenly raised her hand, pulled out the hairpin from her hair, and stabbed Yu Huangqing in the throat.

The hairpin was just an ordinary silver hairpin, not as sharp as a dagger, but it was sharp enough to hurt him.

Sure enough, Yu Huangqing felt pain and loosened his grip. Bai Zhiyuan immediately freed himself and put the sword on his throat.

"Don't come over! Back off, or I'll kill him!" Bai Zhiyuan shouted.

The rest of the people didn't dare to step forward and all looked at Yu Huangqing.

Yu Huangqing gritted his teeth and said, "You can't escape."

Bai Zhiyuan said angrily: "Then give it a try. At worst, I'll die with you today!"

Yu Huangqing tried to break free, but Bai Zhiyuan did not hesitate. He pressed hard with the tip of the sword, and a bloody mark immediately appeared on his neck.

The servants saw this and shouted, "No! Prince, be careful!"

Bai Zhiyuan shouted, "Go and get the horse. If I had used even a little more force with my sword, the Northern Di prince would have been dead."

Yu Huangqing froze in place, his eyes filled with anger. His men dared not even breathe, fearing that they would anger the county lord of Dali. Who would have known that this seemingly spoiled woman could be so brave.

Seeing that they did not respond, Bai Zhiyuan slowly retreated with Yu Huangqing. But she was not a veteran after all, and when she retreated, she was elbowed by Yu Huangqing and escaped.

Without the hostages and surrounded by Yu Huangqing's men, Bai Zhiyuan felt despair. Was she really going to die here today?

Tianlin, who was in the northern border, had not seen Bai Zhiyuan all day. Before Xie Yunsong left, he repeatedly told him to protect Bai Zhiyuan. Tianlin felt uneasy and sent people to look for Bai Zhiyuan everywhere.

When it was dark, the sentry came to report: "There was a fire on Wanxiang Mountain for no apparent reason!"

Xie Yunsong was not in the camp, so no one checked for a while. Tianlin felt more and more uneasy, so he gathered a group of people and prepared to go to the mountain to check it out himself.

On the other side, Xie Yunsong had galloped all the way back to the northern border. When he arrived at the camp, he saw Tianlin rushing out with a group of people.

Xie Yunsong reined in his horse. Tianlin was relieved when he saw Xie Yunsong. He said hurriedly, "Master, the county lady is missing. Wanxiang Mountain is on fire for no apparent reason. I'm worried that the county lady is in danger."

Xie Yunsong looked at him coldly with his eyes like arrows, and asked, "When did you disappear?"

Tian Lin lowered his head and said, "I didn't see him this morning. I sent people to look for him in many places but couldn't find him."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xie Yunsong rushed out like an arrow and galloped towards the mountain.
