After crossing, I marked the Empress

The time came to 7:15 in the evening.

The sky light has not yet subsided, but the dense forest area with layers of leaves has become a little darker.

In another 45 minutes, the entire Tengyun Mountain Range will be plunged into darkness.

And the ancient jungle at night is undoubtedly extremely dangerous for those who are not prepared to step into it.

Shen Han thought about taking the team to hide temporarily, but she quickly denied her idea.

Because she couldn't determine the number of enemies, and whether the opponent would have a detector that could be used to search.

Someone must stay to interrupt the enemy's actions.

Otherwise, no one on my side may be able to escape.

The sudden sound of gunfire broke the eerie tranquility in the dark forest.

A soldier of the Ying Kingdom who rushed to the front in a tactical formation had his temple pierced by a flying bullet.

Bloody red bloomed on the other side of his head, bursting out a frightening flower of tea.

"There is an ambush! Everyone find a place to hide!"

"The enemy is in our three o'clock direction, the assault team is ready to shoot!"

The captain of the Yingguo operation began to give instructions in his native language.

After his voice fell, the two team members were lying on the ground to suppress firepower.

Shen Han hid behind a big tree that couldn't be hugged by three people. The gun in her hand was confiscated from the enemy before.

There were still quite a few bullets left, but she had already lost the chance to aim carefully.

The enemy's firepower was too fierce, and the bullets poured down like a rainstorm, trapping her in place and unable to move.

Although he couldn't aim, Shen Han didn't stop shooting because of this.

She adjusted the angle of the muzzle and pulled the trigger frequently to buy more time for her companions to evacuate.

Even if the time that can be won is not long, but Shen Han has calculated that it should be enough.

It was getting darker.

The assault rifle continuously spewed tongues of flame, like clusters of burning fireworks.

Just when Shen Han raised his gun to shoot again, just as the muzzle of the gun protruded a little, he was hit by a piece of shrapnel the size of a fingernail.

Her palm shook, and the gun flew out of her hand.

Fortunately, the bullet that hit her muzzle was not a direct bullet, otherwise, her finger bones would have been shaken to the point of breaking.

Shen Han shrank his body under the thick tree, trying to reduce the chance of being scratched as much as possible.

At this moment, her mind is running fast, thinking about the words she can use to negotiate with the enemy later.

Influenced by Gu Junwan, she has a very clear understanding of Takeda Jianye.

In the eyes of that person, interests come first, and all grievances and emotions have to be put in the back row.

This kind of enemy with absolute rationality is very difficult to deal with.

But now, this characteristic of Takeda Jianye can be fully utilized by Shen Han, thereby winning the bargaining chip for her to survive.

After a while, the dense gunfire finally gradually stopped.

Through previous contests, the Yingguo tactical team also discovered a problem: there is only one opponent hiding not far away!

"Bastard, go to hell!"

The captain of the Yingguo operation cursed angrily, and then took off a grenade hanging on the tactical vest.

Just when he was about to pull the safety catch, Takeda Jianye's voice came from the side: "Wait, capture the enemy alive, I want to interrogate!"

They have always communicated in Ying language, which is almost exactly the same as the island language that Shen Han had learned before crossing.

Therefore, after hearing Takeda Jianye's voice, she threw away the weapon on her body and walked out voluntarily.

"Li Jianye, you are really lucky, you can still make such a fuss when you are old."

"But this time you lost, the queen has already seen your plan, and what you lost will never be found again."

When leaving the battle area before, Shen Han also moved the other items in the black box into his carry-on bag.

At that time, her idea was to prevent the people of Ying Kingdom from taking any chance to take away the contents of the box, but now it has become the card in her hand by mistake.

Shen Han used the language of the federation, and also used the name of the former federation when addressing the enemy leader.

Coupled with the psychological tactics hidden in the words, she didn't think that the opponent in front of her would have no waves in her heart.

The fact is just as she expected.

When Takeda Kenye heard the word 'Nvjun', his slightly cloudy pupils contracted obviously.

In his life, he has only been defeated by one person, and that is Gu Junwan.

Right now, he carefully looked at the woman who was driven to the front by the soldiers with guns, and then asked curiously in the federal language proficiently: "Is it you?"

Although Shen Han modified her facial features through makeup, her voice and body shape have not been adjusted in any way.

Therefore, Takeda Jianye quickly recognized her.

Gu Junwan's captain of the guard appeared here, which made him extremely surprised.

But he showed his usual calmness on his face: "Thank you, my life has always been good, but you, do you think that if you fall into my hands, you can return to the Freedom Federation alive?"

When hearing the other party's words, Shen Han not only did not feel fear in his heart, but secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

Sometimes, the key to judging an opponent's intentions is not just what he says, but what he does.

If Takeda Kenye wanted to kill someone, he wouldn't have said much here at all.

He didn't dare to lead people to continue the pursuit, because he was worried that the empress of the Federation would have some countermeasures waiting for him.

After all, the opponent's bodyguards all chased into this mountain range.

Based on his understanding of Gu Junwan, it's impossible for that tough female monarch to have other arrangements.

Thanks to the fact that this is the territory of the ancient country of Solan, if it was in the Free Federation, Takeda Jianye guessed that he would have been besieged long ago.

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, and before he knew it, he broke out in a cold sweat.

"Leave here quickly and evacuate to an overseas camp as originally planned!"

After hearing such an order, the five Ying soldiers immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

After hesitating, the action captain immediately said: "Mr. Takeda, but we haven't recovered those lots. We have confirmed that there are only four people left on the other side during the tracking."

"I think we should continue to pursue. If we miss the opportunity in front of us, we won't be able to explain to Chief Beiyuan when we go back."

Naturally, Takeda Jianye would not explain too much.

He turned his head slightly, and said calmly to the operation captain: "Sergeant Takahashi, your bounden duty is to obey orders, not to question the decision of the commander."

Hearing this, the action captain lowered his eyebrows, raised his arms and gave a military salute, then ordered to immediately walk along the medicine path, and must leave the territory of the ancient country of Solan before the next dawn.

The soldiers of the Ying Kingdom confiscated everything Shen Han was carrying, even the slender necklace she had hidden under her collar was not spared.

Her wrists were bound in shackles, and a man behind her stood guard at all times with a gun to prevent her from having any chance of escaping.

The soldiers did not vent their anger by beating the prisoners, because that would greatly delay the journey.

If she was accidentally beaten to the point where she lost the ability to act on her own, the soldiers would have to take turns leading each other forward.

No one wants to burden themselves.

Therefore, in the following night walk, everything is still safe and sound.

……

The sky has completely darkened.

The jungle at night no longer has the greenness of the day, and wherever the eyes look, it is all hazy and fantasy.

The moonlight shines through the trees, printing the grass leaves on the ground into mottled patches.

The flying fireflies are like stars in the night sky, occasionally, there is a flash of light, and it is unknown which kind of nocturnal animal has been disturbed.

Fang Yue and Hu Zhen took turns carrying Sun Yu on their backs, exchanging every 15 minutes.

In this way, the overall speed of travel can be maintained, and the two alhas can also take a short breath when reducing the load.

They didn't stop for a moment, because Shen Han traded their own safety for their chance to escape.

Not long after they separated from their captain, they heard gunshots coming from the dense forest behind them.

They don't know if their captain can protect themselves as she said, all they can do is trust each other.

Tears poured all the way, and they never looked back.

Until it was close to 10 o'clock at night, the three of Fang Yue finally saw a large number of flashlights flickering in front of them.

The dots of light beams are intertwined and converged into a band of hope.

Fang Yue knew that this was the arrival of the reinforcements mobilized by the female monarch.

She slowly lowered the young man on her back to the ground as if she lost her strength, but she herself sobbed softly.

Their light of hope has arrived, but their captain Shen does not know which darkness he is in now.

Among the search and rescue team were Yanlin and her alha who came after hearing the news.

When she found out that Sun Yu was missing and could not be contacted, the mother belatedly guessed her son's whereabouts.

She immediately contacted her husband and followed the female monarch's team to the Tengyun Mountains.

Compared with a few hours ago, Sun Yu seemed to have grown a lot in an instant.

He first handed the carry-on bag that Shen Han gave him to the leader of the federal team, and then he limped to his parents and choked up, "Mom, Dad, I'm sorry for making you worry."

Through the satellite phone that was added later, Fang Yue contacted the female monarch who was far away in the border city of the Jiying Empire.

She reported to the other party everything that happened on her side after entering the dense forest, including the deaths of her comrades, and also Shen Han's decision to intercept the enemy alone.

After listening to all the information reports, Gu Junwan felt his world spin for a while.

If it wasn't for Xu Zhao who helped her up in time, she would have fallen to the ground.

She should have known that the price she would pay for capturing the dragon-horned ginseng would be like this, and she would never agree to Shen Han's request to lead a team to pursue it.

It's a pity that there is no such thing as 'knowing' in the world.

The situation on the battlefield changes rapidly, and no one can accurately predict what will happen in the next moment.

While urging Ma Haoyu to bring the doctor over quickly, Xu Zhao comforted his wife in a low voice: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Shen Han will be fine."

When he said these words, Xu Zhao actually didn't have much confidence in his heart.

But she had to show a very determined attitude, because she was afraid that her female monarch would not be able to hold on.

Gu Junwan's complexion was pale, but her thoughts were unprecedentedly clear.

She sat in the chair for a short while, and then began to give orders.

"Arrange a special person and a special plane to send the dragon-horned ginseng to the Peace Palace immediately."

"Contact the consul of the Jiying Empire. There are some matters that require his immediate cooperation."

"Let the guards and all the special forces go with me to the place where Bei Yuancheng is under house arrest. He must have a way to get in touch with Takeda Jianye. Only by using him as a breakthrough can Shen Han be kept most efficiently!"
