Mu Yangling had a natural intuition when it came to navigating the forest. Coupled with her familiarity with the forest, it was not difficult for her to take another path down the mountain.

The men with Qi Xiuyuan were not familiar with her, but Qi Haoran’s men had all been thrown into the mountains by her to train, so they were very convinced of her abilities.

Seeing that Qi Xiuyuan’s pulse was in a mess, Qi Haoran could not be bothered to rest. He quickly distributed all the medicine in the bag and got the soldiers to bandage the injured. Then, they immediately filled their stomachs and prepared to go on their way.

104 of them brought along 38 injured people. As Qi Haoran’s 100 men had undergone jungle training, the others were scattered and placed in the teams. Two people took care of one injured person. Those who were slightly injured could walk on their own if they could. If they could not, they would carry them.

Qi Haoran personally carried Qi Xiuyuan and walked behind Mu Yangling. The group quietly left the cave. At this moment, it was just dawn and there was a faint morning light in the forest, but it was enough for everyone to see the path under their feet without lighting torches.

Mu Yangling walked in front to scout the way while Qi Haoran and Rong Xuan followed the marks she left behind.

“How much further is it?” Feeling his brother’s breath on his neck getting weaker and weaker, Qi Haoran could not help but feel anxious.

Mu Yangling glanced at the sun with a straight face. She estimated the distance in her heart and said, “We should reach the exit in less than an hour.”

“Then hurry up.”

Qi Haoran took a few quick steps and followed closely behind her. Mu Yangling nodded with a straight face and chose a direction. She walked forward, but after taking more than ten steps, she suddenly pulled Qi Haoran back. Rong Xuan hurriedly waved his hand to stop her.

“What is it?”

“There’s movement.” Mu Yangling’s ears twitched unnoticeably. She said with a dark expression, “I’ll go ahead and take a look.”

As soon as she finished speaking, there was a sudden cry from behind. The cry was very short, as if it was cut off right away, but it was enough to cause panic. Their expressions darkened and they turned around. A guard ran forward and reported with a livid expression, “Little General, an injured soldier suddenly screamed. Now, someone is covering his mouth.”

Qi Haoran turned to ask Mu Yangling, “Could the other party hear that?”

Mu Yangling glared at him. “What do you think? He screamed so loudly.”

Qi Haoran made a prompt decision. “Change directions. Split into three teams and walk separately.”

What was the difference between this and using human lives to fill the road?

However, Mu Yangling had no better idea now. Before the enemy arrived, she split everyone into two teams and went out. Then, she led her people down. When she saw the last team take away the person whose mouth was covered, she narrowed her eyes and said, “Leave him behind.”

“Miss Mu?” The soldier carrying the person looked at her in surprise.

Mu Yangling went forward and picked him up. “Leave quickly. He might be a spy. It’s too dangerous for you to bring him along. Remember what I taught you in the past. If you walk southeast, you’ll definitely be able to walk out. If you encounter the enemy, hide and try not to fight them head-on.”

Mu Yangling promised, “If he’s not a spy, I’ll definitely try my best to bring him out.”

The soldiers’ eyes were red as they left gratefully.

Mu Yangling turned around and led her men into a cave. Then, she threw the person down and grabbed his neck. “Let me ask you, who are you?”

That person glared fiercely at Mu Yangling and did not speak. Mu Yangling chuckled, but there was no smile in her eyes. “You’re really silly. If I were you, I would be crying bitterly and confess my sins now. Then, I would tell Little General that I was startled by a snake just now, and profess my loyalty to the general. Since Little General is soft-hearted and it’s hard to interrogate you for now, he might just bring you along.”

That person looked at Mu Yangling mockingly, as if she was a joke. Mu Yangling tilted her head and asked Qi Haoran, “Am I wrong?”

Qi Haoran looked up and said calmly, “Oh, regardless of whether he’s a spy or not, I’ll kill him.”

Mu Yangling glared at him, but the soldiers behind Qi Haoran naturally guarded him and Qi Xiuyuan.

Rong Xuan explained kindly, “Miss Mu, no matter what the reason is, he can be punished by military law for that scream just now.”

Alright, she was too inexperienced.

Mu Yangling lowered her head and met the soldier’s gaze. “Then we can confirm now that he’s a spy.”

“If he’s not a spy, why would he show such an expression after screwing over everyone like that, considering he’s Big Brother’s soldier? You’ve concealed your identity well. If I remember correctly, you’re Big Brother’s guard, right?” The soldier bowed his head.

Qi Haoran instantly gritted his teeth in hatred. As now was not the time to interrogate him, he turned around and asked Mu Yangling, “How do we walk out?”

“I have to check their numbers. If there aren’t many, I’ll look for a gap and we can escape through it.” If there were too many, they could only fight.

Mu Yangling glanced at Qi Xiuyuan’s dark lips and became anxious. She turned around and left the cave.

The Jin Kingdom used their military strength to express how much they valued Qi Xiuyuan. Hence, even after Mu Yangling briskly walked south for 15 minutes, there were still Jin soldiers searching for their traces.

There must be more than 5,000 people here. Mu Yangling felt choked as she returned to the cave with a solemn expression. The Jin soldiers had yet to discover this place for the time being, but with their thorough search, it would not be long before they were discovered.

Qi Haoran said calmly, “In that case, I’ll lead the people away. If you find a gap, Ah Ling, leave with Big Brother and Brother Rong. With your ability, the three of you should be able to leave quietly, right?”

“But there are so many people, you…”

A vicious expression flashed across Qi Haoran’s face. With a smile, he said, “Have you forgotten? I’ve learned jungle warfare from you. In the past, I lost to you every time. This time, I can use them to practice.”

He looked at the 30 soldiers behind him and said, “I can also take the chance to check if these brats have forgotten everything you taught them.”

Because he realized that there was a spy among the soldiers following Qi Xiuyuan, when they split up, Qi Haoran only picked out the people he brought.

“There’s not much time left,” Rong Xuan said. “Miss Mu, listen to Haoran. The general can’t wait too long.”

“Ah Ling, try your best to use qinggong while carrying Big Brother on your back. You’ve already practiced that qinggong for three years. No matter how unskilled you are, it shouldn’t be a problem to last for half an hour, right?” Mu Yangling blushed slightly and nodded in agreement. However, she was actually still a little nervous since she had only been practicing qinggong for fun. Other than jumping around on the trees sometimes, she only used it when hunting and chasing prey in the mountains. She had never used qinggong while carrying someone on her back.

Mu Yangling took the unconscious Qi Xiuyuan and looked at Qi Haoran worriedly. She whispered, “Then be careful.”

Qi Haoran nodded and grabbed the spy. He smiled sinisterly and said, “It’s your turn now.”

The spy’s face was pale, but Qi Haoran was not in the mood to look at him anymore. He waved goodbye behind him and quietly left with his men..
