Feng Yue did not get a response for a long time and asked again, “Brother?”

Feng Xun came back to his senses. ‘They’re all one in a million experts. Don’t worry.”

Just as he was about to give the order to kill the others and capture Chu Tianbao and Bai Wutong alive, a loud explosion sounded. The people he had sent out actually fell off their horses.

Before he could see clearly what had happened, the dark guards had already rushed over like flying shadows and ruthlessly stabbed them. Their technique was clean and swiftient, and they did not even have the chance to resist.

Feng Xun looked at this scene in disbelief. The dark guards had already discovered them and were charging towards them.

Feng Yue shouted anxiously, “Brother, quickly get on the horse. They’re catching up.”

The skills of this group of dark guards were definitely far superior to the people they had sent.

If he did not escape now, he would not be able to escape later.

Feng Xun also realized this point. He had no choice but to mount his horse.

The horses under them were like steeds that were as fast as wind. The dark guards could not catch up and threw their darts. Feng Yue could not dodge in time and was hit in the right arm.

Bai Wutong watched them escape and looked at Ah Yu. “Who are they?”

Ah Yu frowned. She probably recognized the backs of the two of them, but she hesitated and did not speak.

Chu Tianbao glanced at her coldly.

Seeing how Chu Tianbao had single-handedly knocked down all the rebels, Ah Yu became terrified of Chu Tianbao. In order to prevent her clansmen from being implicated, Ah Yu could only say, “They should be Ah Yue and Ah Xun. Half a year ago, they saved a clansman of our tribe and had dealings with our tribe.” She glanced at Chu Tianbao and hurriedly explained, “They set up an ambush here. We really didn’t know.”

She knew that Marshal Gu only had 80,000 troops left. It was also Ah Yue who had unintentionally said it.

Looking at the darkened ground, Bai Wutong walked over and dipped her hand in it. She brought it under her nose and sniffed it. After confirming that it was petroleum, she frowned. “Did you give them stalactite water?”

Ah Yu nodded. “They have done favors for our tribe, so we gave them some petroleum. After that, they often sent people to buy it. They even reminded us to keep it a secret to prevent other tribes from coveting it.”

Bai Wutong frowned even more. The rebel army had discovered the petroleum half a year ago and did not occupy Ah Yu’s tribe. They probably deliberately let Ah Yu and her clansmen cover for them.

After all, if they directly destroyed Ah Yu’s tribe and occupied the petroleum, it was very likely to alarm Marshal Gu’s army.

Bai Wutong asked, “Do you know where they are hiding?”

Ah Yu shook her head. “Every time they come to get the petroleum, we’ve never followed them. We only know that they came from the direction of the rising sun.”

The direction where the sun rose was the southern frontier.

Bai Wutong looked at Chu Tianbao, who said in a deep voice, “We have to inform Marshal Gu as soon as possible.”

It was very likely that the rebel army had already used the petroleum to create a shockingly powerful firearm. They had to send someone to guard the petroleum as soon as possible. This way, even if they had a shockingly powerful firearm, they would not be able to use it without the petroleum as fuel.

Bai Wutong nodded. “We have to set off as soon as possible.” She then said to Ah Yu, “If the stone fat water causes a fight, it will endanger the lives of your clansmen. You have to evacuate this place as soon as possible. We will also get the general to send someone to guard here as soon as possible.”

Ah Yu had originally planned to bring her clansmen to the next place to graze.

When she heard Bai Wutong’s kind reminder, she cupped her hands and said, ‘We’ll leave this place as soon as possible.” She looked at the source of the petroleum reluctantly. ‘Then can we still use the petroleum in the future?’

Bai Wutong shook her head. “Everything still needs to await for the general’s opinion. However, you have protected the petroleum for so many years. You will definitely be rewarded and compensated.”

Ah Yu looked regretfully at the source of the petroleum and gathered her clansmen to deal with the corpses of the rebels.

Chu Tianbao led people to survey the area where the petroleum was produced. Bai Wutong took out a drawing board and charcoal pen and drew Ah Yue and Ah Xun’s appearances based on Ah Yu’s description.

Ah Yu, who was at the side, saw with her own eyes that Bai Wutong had restored their appearances bit by bit. She admired Bai Wutong very much and even praised, “You’re very different from the Central Plains women I’ve met. ‘

“You have good riding skills, good martial arts skills, and good drawing skills. You’re not delicate at all. Awesome! ”

Bai Wutong smiled at her straightforward compliments. “Don’t I look good?’ Ah Yu was stunned for a moment before she laughed loudly and said, “You’re very beautiful. You’re the most beautiful Central Plains woman I’ve ever seen. If I were a man, I would definitely marry you! ‘

Chu Tianbao walked over. His imposing aura was too strong. Ah Yue was already afraid of him, but when she met his dark eyes, she was even more afraid.

After a hurried word with Bai Wutong, she ran to count the horses left behind by the rebel army.

Bai Wutong poked at his grim expression. “Still worried about the rebels?”

Chu Tianbao shook his head and said bluntly, “Only I can marry my wife, no matter male or female.’

His domineering tone and childish vow was just like the silly Chu Tianbao back then.

Bai Wutong liked the occasional silly look on his face. It was as if he was telling her at all times that no matter what kind of Chu Tianbao was, he was doing his best to love her.

She linked her fingers with his, her gaze loving. “Yes, me too.”

After leaving a portion of the dark guards to guard this place, Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao hurried on their way.

The rebel army had not been exterminated, and the group moving to the southern frontier was a huge target. They might be ambushed.

They had to reach the nearest military camp as soon as possible and let them send a message to the southern frontier with an eagle to inform Marshal Gu.

Bai Wutong and Chu Tianbao rushed for nearly two days before catching up with the team.

At this moment, the team had already begun to enter the desert.

Occasionally, one or two willow trees could be found in the endless yellow soil.

From afar, it was a different scenery.

Just as Bai Wutong was rejoicing that the team was safe, many large grass balls suddenly rolled out of the hill from the side.

No one had seen such a strange thing before. They even picked it up and looked at it carefully. They asked each other if this grass could be used to feed pigs.

Chu Tianbao looked at the hill and suddenly lowered his eyes. “This is a rolling ball. It’s a common way for enemies to attack. Everyone, quickly kick it aside.”

Before he could finish speaking, many fireballs flew down.

The team in the gully immediately shouted in panic.

When the ball hit the carriage, it immediately caught fire.

Everyone tried to fight the fire while saving their belongings and preventing the ball from hitting them.

A commoner caught fire. Because of the wind, the fire spread fast and furious. Soon, it ignited his entire body.

The scene was chaotic, and the commoners fled in all directions in fear.

Bai Wutong said loudly, “Don’t panic. Hide if you can. If you can’t, kick the ball away! ”

“Don’t worry about your belongings first!’

“If there’s a fire on your body, you can extinguish it by rolling on the ground! “
