285: Don't hesitate

Just as Wuluoli was about to make the cut, he suddenly reacted!

If he didn't stop and really cut it, wouldn't he be dead? If he had subconsciously cut off his own head just now, wouldn't he have kicked the bucket?!

“I was almost fooled by him!” Wuluoli thought to himself. It seems Lin Yue is truly full of schemes, making him impossible to guard against!

“Your Highness, hurry! Don’t hesitate! Any more hesitation and you’ll die!” A Leng was anxious seeing Wuluoli’s delay.

In such a moment of escape, every second of hesitation brings more danger. Now is a race against time; the sooner they can get rid of conspicuous features on their bodies, the greater the hope of escaping!

“So, you all have no heads, and I’m the only one with a head? Or are you telling me to cut off my own head?” Wuluoli cursed him irritably, secretly calling A Leng a pig-brain!

He completely forgot that he had the same thought as A Leng just now.

If he had really listened to A Leng and cut it down without hesitation, that’s when he would have died!

“Cut off my own head? Uh…this…” A Leng was still a bit slow to react, scratching his head and feeling a bit confused.

“Shut up and run,” Wuluoli sighed.

“Yes!” A Leng nodded, not understanding.

Both of them ran forward with their heads down, occasionally looking back at the Qin Army.

When Lin Yue saw Wuluoli raise his blade, his heart jumped into his throat! When he lowered the blade, Lin Yue also breathed a sigh of relief, feeling no regret.

Because if Wuluoli had really died so carelessly, it would have been of no benefit to Lin Yue. He wanted a living Wuluoli. A dead Wuluoli held no value for either side.

“Your Highness, Lin Yue is too cunning, we almost fell for his trick!” A Leng suddenly reacted and said angrily.

“Alright, don’t say anymore,” Wuluoli sighed, thinking that A Leng was always late to the party.

“Really, Subordinate almost fell into his trap. This fellow is truly full of schemes, no wonder Your Highness was captured alive by him last time!” A Leng’s face was filled with indignation, and a hint of relief at having escaped a disaster.

Lin Yue’s simple sentence just now, in his opinion, was enough to deceive him and almost cost Wuluoli his life!

This fellow was simply too despicable!

“Uh…” Wuluoli’s voice faltered, his face dark, then he said faintly, “Don’t say anymore, stop.”

“Your Highness, don’t be careless. Now it seems, Your Highness, you were captured alive by him quite justifiably,” A Leng continued to babble, completely oblivious to Wuluoli’s expression.

“Yes, everything you say is right…” Wuluoli replied helplessly, thinking, ‘Clearly, it was you who was careless!’

But now he no longer wanted to have any dialogue with A Leng, because every conversation would make him feel even more uncomfortable.

Lin Yue and his men continued to chase Wuluoli. The distance between them and Wuluoli was getting closer and closer. Wuluoli and his men were like rabbits being chased, and just one opportunity would decide whether they lived or became food.

A Leng looked back and, seeing them getting closer, anxiously said, “Your Highness, you go first, I’ll cover your retreat!”

To this day, at this very moment, A Leng’s image in Wuluoli’s heart completely changed!

“A Leng…” Wuluoli opened his mouth, but for a moment, he didn’t know what to say.

“Don’t hesitate, Your Highness, or none of us will make it out!” A Leng said urgently.

“If we go, we go together!” Wuluoli secretly made a certain resolve in his heart. To become a king on the grasslands, he must never abandon his comrades again and again!

And the first thing he had to do was not abandon A Leng!

Even if he died today, he couldn’t continue to be a coward!

“Your Highness, don’t act on impulse!

The Chanyu can no longer bear the exchange condition of five million warhorses and four million cattle and sheep!

The conditions required to exchange for you are enough for millions of tribesmen to survive!

So, Your Highness, please escape quickly. If you escape, we will have won!

If you escape, it’s equivalent to saving the lives of millions of tribesmen!” A Leng said urgently!

Wuluoli’s expression froze, and he almost choked to death from not being able to catch his breath!

What does ‘saving the lives of millions of tribesmen’ mean? This equivalent relationship is simply not valid! At least, he, Wuluoli, didn’t acknowledge it!

But then his heart turned to ashes. So, in their eyes, was he really like that?

The grand ambitions that had just risen with such difficulty were instantly shattered.

“Your Highness, for the sake of millions of tribesmen, please escape quickly, don’t act on impulse!” A Leng said anxiously.

“Alright,” Wuluoli nodded silently, not saying much, because whatever he said at this moment would seem utterly pale.

He ran straight forward, soon crossing a hill and disappearing from everyone’s sight!

Upon hearing this, A Leng looked at Wuluoli’s retreating figure and smiled. He thought that at this moment, his own image in Wuluoli’s heart would surely become incredibly grand, and he would also become more important in his heart!

Unfortunately, he was about to die and would no longer enjoy Wuluoli’s favor and trust.

Thinking of this, A Leng silently looked at the Qin Army rushing towards him. As long as Wuluoli escaped, he would have saved millions of tribesmen!

Then his death would be valuable!

“A true man should be like this!”

He suddenly remembered this saying, thinking that Great Qin culture was indeed profound and extensive. Their Xiongnu language didn’t have such flavor.

“Kill!” A Leng laughed, then led the remaining North Sea Cavalry to charge towards the Qin Army!

Lin Yue’s eyes narrowed, his killing intent rising!

“Kill him! Don’t let Wuluoli escape!” Lin Yue shouted, then gripped his Miao Blade and charged forward!

Just as the two sides were gradually approaching,

“Rumble!”

A loud noise came from afar. Lin Yue subconsciously looked over, his pupils suddenly widening!

He saw the hillside where Wuluoli had disappeared, instantly covered with Xiongnu Cavalry!

Warhorses neighed as they burst out from the north side of the hill, then rushed down the hill towards the Qin Army!

A huge cloud of dust instantly rose from the hill. Xiongnu Soldiers emerged from the dust, holding long spears, their spear tips aimed at them, ready to deliver a fatal blow to the Qin Army!

Lin Yue’s expression changed instantly. He hadn’t expected Xiongnu Cavalry to rush out at this moment!

And this cavalry, at a glance, was clearly an elite cavalry force!

A Leng also stopped his charge at this moment, looked back, and his face lit up with joy!

Then he abruptly turned his horse around and galloped back! As he ran, he waved his hand and shouted loudly!

Lin Yue and his men watched him run all the way to the flank of the Xiongnu Cavalry, eventually merging into the torrent of Xiongnu Cavalry.

“Charge with me!” Lin Yue yelled hoarsely!

In a narrow encounter, the brave win!

At this moment, they could only bite the bullet and charge forward, because if they tried to escape now, their White Horse Righteous Cavalry would be decimated, with less than one in ten surviving. Such an outcome was worse than a head-on battle!

“Kill!” The Qin Army followed Lin Yue closely and charged forward!

Lin Yue charged at the very front, holding his Miao Blade raised sideways with both hands. When the Xiongnu Cavalry approached, he swung his blade with lightning speed!

“Pfft!”
