Chapter 243 Wu Family Castle
When the sun rises, the sky has quietly entered the gentle embrace of the Chen hour. The road leading to Wujiabao is not a smooth one, but a winding one, covered with traces of time.
In order to avoid a group of hundreds of people parading through the city and attracting unnecessary attention, everyone wisely split into two teams, still maintaining their identities as merchants, and embarked on a journey that was concealed from the public.
After walking for about an hour, they cleverly bypassed Wujiabao's sight along the river bank and continued to explore forward quietly.
"Master, Young Master Yelu said that someone is blocking the road ahead, and it seems to be Guo Zian's men."
The person who came to report looked nervous.
Lan Yilan was shocked when she heard this and exclaimed, "How did they know so quickly? Can we defeat them?"
Lan Yilan was extremely panicked. She knew very well that this time the situation was full of crises and her own strength was weak. Facing Guo Zian's men, the outcome was unpredictable.
"Young Master Yelu said they are not numerous, only about a thousand or so, and we plan to break out by force."
The person who came to report looked anxious, as if waiting for Nalan Yilan's decision.
"Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to force our way through." Lan Yilan gritted her teeth, a hint of determination in her words.
As soon as Lan Yilan finished speaking, deafening shouts of killing came from the front.
Yelu Feng led a group of people and started a fierce battle with Guo Zian's team.
Lan Yilan bit his lip, drew his sword, and shouted, "Brothers, charge!" Everyone responded and rushed forward with roars.
The battlefield was filled with the flashing of swords and the shouts of killing, which shook the earth.
Lan Yilan was nervous yet determined. She swung her sword with all her might, each swing carrying a desperate determination as she slashed at the enemy fiercely.
As for Yelu Feng, he was like a god of war, brave and fearless, and enemies fell wherever he went.
But the enemy was not to be outdone and fought desperately against their attacks, forming a series of solid lines of defense.
One of Lan Yilan's brothers fell down. She felt a sharp pain in her heart and tears welled up in her eyes, but there was no time to be sad at this moment. She could only fight the enemy even harder, as if she wanted to turn all the grief and anger in her heart into strength.
"Everyone, work harder, the only way to survive is to rush out!" Yelu Feng shouted loudly, his voice a little hoarse, and an unyielding fire burned in his eyes.
Everyone was encouraged, their morale was boosted, and their offensive became more fierce, like a surging wave hitting the enemy's defense line.
However, Guo Zian's team was also very tenacious, holding the defense line tightly, preventing them from breaking out. Every attack was repelled, leaving them feeling extremely frustrated and desperate.
Nalan Yilan and Yelu Feng gradually approached each other, their eyes met, and they saw the unswerving determination in each other's eyes.
"Let's fight!" Yelu Feng roared and rushed towards the enemy again regardless of everything. His figure looked particularly heroic in the war.
Just when they were about to fall into despair, the situation suddenly took a turn for the better...
Yu Lei's brothers looked at the battlefield, all with anxious expressions on their faces, and said one after another:
"General, we can't just stand by and do nothing. It's obvious that our brothers in the north are being bullied." They were extremely anxious and wanted to rush over to help immediately.
Yu Lei's heart was also full of entanglement and hesitation. He knew very well that the situation on the battlefield was changing rapidly. If he intervened rashly, it might bring unpredictable troubles to himself and his subordinates, and might even violate military regulations and suffer severe punishment.
However, when he saw Yelu Feng and others struggling under the enemy's siege, their faces full of determination and indomitable spirit, his heart couldn't help but be touched, and the feeling of brotherhood surged in his heart.
At this moment, a brother who was usually quite impulsive shouted:
"General, if we don't help, how will we face our fellow countrymen when we return home? We can't just stand by and watch our brothers suffer!"
These words were like a heavy hammer, hitting Yu Lei's heart hard, making him unable to calm down anymore.
Yu Lei frowned, lost in deep thought. He was torn between duty and morality, and beads of sweat formed on his forehead.
After a moment, he gritted his teeth, drew out his sword, and shouted, "Brothers, go! Help our brothers break through!" His voice was firm and powerful, full of determination.
With his order, Yu Lei's team rushed into the battlefield like a tiger descending from the mountain.
They shouted, waved their weapons, and were so powerful that they instantly disrupted Guo Zian's team.
Nalan Yilan and Yelu Feng were almost in despair, but when they saw Yu Lei's team coming to help, sparks of hope suddenly ignited in their eyes, and their morale became even higher, as if they had regained endless strength.
While Yu Lei was fighting hard against the enemy, he shouted to Yelu Feng, "Brother, don't be afraid, let's charge out together!"
His voice was particularly clear in the battle.
Yelu Feng's face was covered in blood, and he responded loudly: "Thank you for your help, General!" His voice was full of gratitude and excitement.
With the combined efforts of the three parties, Guo Zian's defenses were finally breached. Like a tide, the crowd surged out of the encirclement and successfully broke through.
Everyone stopped and gasped for breath, as if they had just escaped from the gates of hell.
Lan Yilan wiped the sweat and blood from her face and said to Lei with gratitude, "I will never forget your kindness, General. If it weren't for your help, I would have had trouble escaping."
Her voice trembled slightly, and her eyes were full of relief at surviving the disaster.
Yu Lei smiled heartily and said, "You're welcome. We should help each other when we see injustice. Where are you from, and where are you going?"
His eyes were filled with curiosity and concern.
Nalan Yilan said with a heavy breath, "We are fur traders. If we don't sell our furs, we will be targeted by these people."
Guo Zian's men were wearing the uniforms of Wei County soldiers, and they didn't seem like good people.
As the right general, Yu Lei usually would not get involved in such trivial matters. At that time, he saw that Lan Yilan was good-looking, and instantly had some different ideas.
"I'm originally from Xixia, and judging by your accent, it seems not far from us."
Yelu Feng continued, "It's not far. Our tribe originally lived in the Helan Mountains, so it's really not far away."
Yu Lei felt a little uncomfortable with Yelu Feng's interruption, but he didn't show it on his face.
"We are following military orders and carrying out our mission here. We never expected to encounter something like this."
Yelu Feng bowed and said, "It seems that it is fate that brought us together here."
As he was speaking, a brother came running over and said to Lei, "General, it's bad. We've spotted enemy reinforcements in the rear and they're heading our way."
Everyone's expression changed, and their mood, which had just relaxed, became tense again in an instant, as if the haze that had just dissipated was gathering again.
Nalan Yilan said, "General, what should we do?" Her voice was full of anxiety and fear.
Yu Lei pondered for a moment and said decisively: "There is no time to lose, you should leave here quickly and find a safe place to make plans." His eyes were firm and he made a decision quickly.
Nalan Yilan and others left and headed north.
Along the way, everyone dared not slack off, always alert to the surrounding movements. They slept in the open air, exhausted, but in order to survive, they had to grit their teeth and persevere.
Nalan Yilan rode on her horse with a frown on her face, her heart full of worries: "I don't know how many difficulties and obstacles are waiting for us ahead." She looked into the distance, her eyes full of confusion and anxiety.
Yelu Feng followed her and comforted her, "Don't worry too much. As long as we unite, we will be able to overcome the difficulties." But there was a hint of worry in his eyes.
However, as we slowly moved deeper north, the world around us seemed shrouded in a thick haze, and the situation became increasingly chaotic and unsettled.
