After her transformation and rebirth, she manipulates the innocent and ruthless to overthrow the wor

Chapter 309 Blue-faced and Fanged

Xiao Mu truly lived up to his title as the Great General Who Protects the Nation; he was decisive and ruthless.

Xiao Ran also provided a lot of help from the sidelines.

What struck her as odd was that the enemy's numbers were increasing, as if they had a sure thing about them.

They were all wearing masks.

Fire shot into the sky.

Suddenly a voice in Mandarin came: "Brothers, charge! General Ye Hu said that if we capture Zhao Yong, he will retreat."

Xiao Mu frowned.

"Does Father know Ye Hu?" Xiao Ran asked eagerly.

Xiao Mu shook his head, his brows furrowed: "I have never heard of this person, Ye Hu, during previous battles."

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Ran with a determined gaze: "Ran'er, you run first. They outnumber us and we can't handle them."

"What about Father?" Xiao Ran's voice was filled with worry.

Xiao Mu remained silent for a moment, a resolute glint in his eyes: "...I'll kill a few first, and then escape when I have the chance."

Xiao Ran naturally didn't want to abandon her father.

But the Western Xia people sneaked close while they weren't paying attention, and the father swiftly struck down the Western Xia man who was trying to harm Xiao Ran.

She will never forget her father's resolute expression.

"Run!"

Yes, she shouldn't be a burden. She should go back to the military camp and get reinforcements.

Aren't Zhao Yong and his group nearby?

Thinking this, she ran out; every moment was about her father's life.

She ran out of the woods in a panic.

The white colt was waiting for her where it was. When it saw her, it snorted as if blaming her for being gone for so long.

She calmed him down for a moment, then mounted her horse.

"Bai Xue, take me to the Lanshui River quickly! Father won't last much longer!"

The white colt seemed to understand Xiao Ran's words, and stopped being willful, rushing back at an extremely fast speed.

As dawn broke, snow sparrows chirped in my ears.

Xiao Ran didn't care; she knew that as long as she crossed this hill, she would see Zhao Yong and the others.

The unforeseen events can occur right here.

Bai Xue was tripped by the horse's rope, and Xiao Ran fell off her horse.

She reacted quickly, only scraping her left leg, while Bai Xue, who was already extremely fast, had already fallen to the ground in the snow.

"Snow White!" she called out.

She saw the extremely thick tripwire and knew that someone was lying in ambush on her; the nature of those people was obvious.

"Who is it!" she shouted at the bushes beside her.

Several Western Xia people came out from inside.

They looked excited and were speaking in a Xixia language she couldn't understand.

Suddenly, they looked inside and bowed respectfully:

"Ye Hu".

Xiao Ran looked shocked.

The mask he was wearing happened to be a blue-faced, fanged mask.

She would never forget the blue-faced, fanged man at the Summer Palace.

She glared at him fiercely, "I have no grudge against you, why have you tried to harm me time and time again?"

"No enmity?" The voice sounded strangely familiar to her: "You Han people and we Western Xia people are natural enemies. We have different stances, so what's this talk of no enmity?"

“Despicable,” she said.

"It's nothing compared to what a great wizard does."

He turned and gave a few instructions in Xixia language, after which she and Bai Xue were loaded onto a cart and transported away like animals.

As dawn turned to dusk, Xiao Ran's gaze remained fixed on the scenery outside, trying to imprint it in her mind.

Suddenly, a soft laugh was heard.

"Give up. In a few days, the snow will melt, and this place will be a completely different scene. You won't remember it."

The sound of footsteps on the snow was very soft. The masked man stood on horseback, his eyes fixed on the distance.

Xiao Ran had a cloth stuffed in her mouth and was bound hand and foot, but she still struggled to move forward.

The man seemed to sense something, turned his head to look, and suddenly smiled.

Has anyone ever told you that you're like a kitten with its claws outstretched?
