Traveling through ancient times: daily life on the run

Chapter 389: Luo Yu's Great Escape from the Grassland

That night, the moon was bright and the stars were sparse. The grassland was so quiet that the only sound was the rustling of the wind on the grass.

Chi Nur rode a Ferghana horse and pulled Luo Lu onto the horse's back to sit in front of him.

Luo Yu felt awkward and said softly, "I can ride a horse by myself."

"This horse is very fast. I can send you away in an hour. Don't waste too much time."

Luo Yu said nothing, forget it, the most important thing is to escape.

After sending the person to a big house in a town of the small country of Wuda, Chi Nur arranged several maids and guards for Luo Yu, and handed a bag of gold to Luo Yu, saying that these were universal and she could spend it at will.

Luo Yu thought to himself that it seemed that this small town in Wuda Kingdom was Chi Nur's territory, and almost everyone knew him.

After watching Chi Nur leave, Luo Yu returned to the house. The maid who served her could speak Chinese. After preparing everything for the girl, she said to Luo Yu, "Miss, we will wait here for five days. If General Chi Nur has not returned, I will take you away."

Luo Yu was curious: "Where will you take me?"

"Wherever the young lady wants to go, I will take her there."

Luo Yu's heart skipped a beat. This must be what Chi Nur had told her. Although he didn't know how likely Chi Nur was to succeed this time, he really wanted to protect Helena Ling and let her live a good life in the future. Now, he was probably only sincere to Helena Ling.

"From now on, you can call me Luo Yu, and stop calling yourself a slave. By the way, what's your name?"

"My name is Xuelian. Young lady, if you feel bored these days, Xuelian can go out for a walk with you."

"it is good."

Luo Yu could sense that Xuelian knew martial arts and her fighting ability was not low.

In the past two days, apart from going out for a walk, she did not go anywhere. She was quietly waiting for news from Chi Nur and Shao Bu, and also waiting for news from Qin Bingrui.

Sure enough, shocking news came on the third day.

Shaobu's army was defeated and attacked by the enemy late at night, resulting in countless casualties.

But the enemy was also strange. They surrounded us from several sides, and one round came after another.

No one knew whether Shaobu was captured or not. People only heard rumors that Shaobu's army of more than 100,000 was ambushed by tens of thousands of troops and was leaderless. They could not continue the battle and fled faster than anyone else.

It turned out that Qin Bingrui asked Lao Jin to lead the Flying Tigers to sprinkle a layer of steel balls of different sizes around the stables where they trained horses. Then he and Master Murong took some agile soldiers to attack Shaobu. He was very familiar with the location of Shaobu's yurt, as if he had been here many times.

Young Master Murong was not surprised, but he remembered the time when he was chased by men in black outside Liangzhou City. Qin Bingrui was also familiar with finding the injured Luo Yu and the white tiger hiding in the deep forest.

Qin Bingrui did not hide this from Master Murong, he just sent Zhu Jinyou away and asked Zhu Jinyou to take people to rescue Sister Luo Hong.

He asked Feiying to take Zhu Jinyou to the small town of Wuda Kingdom. Zhu Jinyou only thought that Feiying had tracked them down and did not doubt his ability.

Fortunately, Feiying did track Luo Yu all the way and brought Zhu Jinyou and his party to the town.

Luo Yu waited until the fifth day, but Chi Nur did not show up.

Xuelian had packed all the clothes she was carrying and was preparing to take Luo Yu away with several servants.

Luo Luo thought to herself, if this trip was successful, she would definitely not be able to return to the scheming palace of Rongguo. As for who would become the emperor, what did it have to do with her? Although she had completely shaken off Zhu Jinyou's secret guards, she still had to find a way to completely get rid of Chi Nur's people. What she needed was true freedom.

On the sixth day, the sky was slightly white.

Luo Yu was dressed neatly and carried a small bag on her back, which contained only a small bag of gold. Xuelian did not let her take the rest of the things.

They did not ride horses. Xuelian told her that there were many forces in this small town, and riding horses would make too much noise, so they could only leave quietly. They had a special carriage waiting in a remote place.

Xuelian arranged for Luo Yu to change into local clothes and cover her head and face with a headscarf so that no one would recognize her.

Not long after they walked away, they heard the sound of loud horse hooves in front of them. Luo Hong's first reaction was that could it be Chi Nur returning from a victorious battle?

Xuelian quickly pulled her aside, lowered her head and walked on calmly.

The sound of horse hooves was getting closer and closer. Luo Yu glanced at the leader and saw that the man wearing gorgeous armor inlaid with gold and a dark gold robe was actually Zhu Jinyou.

She quietly turned her face away and completely covered the side of her face with her headscarf so that he couldn't see her.

Xuelian had good eyesight and asked her, "Did you see someone you know?"

Luo Yu nodded and said, "He's here to look for me. If we pass each other later, it would be safer for us to take a smaller path."

Xuelian couldn't believe that Miss Luo Yu really wanted to leave with them. She was originally worried that the girl would find a way to escape halfway, but now that she saw an acquaintance, the girl only thought about how to escape.

"The girl hasn't recovered her memory, why didn't she go back with her acquaintances?"

"You don't understand. Ordinary women are born into slavery, but I don't want to be one of them. Even if they say they're doing it for my own good, I have my own path to take and the life I want to pursue. I can't rely on anyone for my entire life. Besides, I have the ability, so why should I rely on others and constrain myself for the rest of my life?"

Xuelian listened in confusion, but her mind was slightly shaken. This girl seemed to be a little different from the Helena Ling that Chi Nur had mentioned. She didn't want to be bound and wanted to pursue freedom?

When Zhu Jinyou rode his horse past them, he gave Luo Yu a murderous look, and in just a moment, his horse galloped past.

Luo Yu glanced back, and he didn't seem to doubt it. He quickly asked Xuelian to find a shortcut to rejoin their team. Xuelian responded and pulled Luo Yu into another alley.

After Zhu Jinyou walked over for a while, he found that there were no people walking on the road. However, there were seven or eight people walking not far away on the street. The two women leading them were covering their heads with scarves, which looked really strange.

"Oh no! Those were Chi Nur's men. It seems they wanted to take Miss Luo Hong away."

Zhu Jinyou ordered everyone to turn their horses around. Song Si asked curiously, "If it was Miss Luo Yu, why didn't she call us out when she saw us? With her martial arts skills, she should have no problem dealing with the woman next to her."

Zhu Jinyou frowned slightly and said coldly: "She has always been thoughtful. Perhaps that woman's martial arts skills are superior to hers..."

As he spoke, he felt a little reluctant. This group of people was able to protect Miss Luo Yu safely. Even if Luo Yu had called them back, they would not have hurt her. Unless, Luo Yu already wanted to leave with them.

Zhu Jinyou thought of this, and recalled the scene of conquering Qiyue Kingdom. Could it be that Luo Yu had recovered his memory of being Helena Ling, the princess of Qiyue Kingdom? Or, had she known her true identity all along and had been deceiving him all along?

Zhu Jinyou rode his horse as fast as he could, and when he rushed back, he found that there was no trace of the group of people left.
