Ji Youzhi and Dugu Xiaoâs inquiries did not receive an immediate answer, as they suddenly saw Xiaosuisui look up at the sky!
She suddenly asked Ji Youzhi a question.
"Seventh Uncle! MoâEr and his people said they want to catch me and His Majestyâs godfather to kowtow to them, kneeling at their feet! Do you think I should just let them catch me for a moment?"
Ji Youzhi was momentarily stunned at her words, taking a long time to come to his senses, and internally sighed for MoâEr and his cohorts, thinking it was truly the best way to court death!
"Fight first; if you can kill them, kill them. If not, only then consider surrendering!"
Ji Youzhiâs words drove Dugu Xiao into a frenzy. He widened his eyes in disbelief at Ji Youzhi and shouted angrily, "Are you mad, Seventh Ji? Do you know what youâre saying?"
Ji Youzhi chuckled softly, reminding him, "Hurry up and form the formation; MoâErâs people are coming!" And he added, "Donât concern yourself with Suisuiâs matters!"
After speaking, he couldnât help but smile.
Dugu Xiao watched his smile and suddenly felt it was very familiar.
Frowning, Dugu Xiao couldnât help but mutter, "Why does Seventh Jiâs smile just now look exactly like Eighth Jiâs when heâs about to scheme against someone?"
Dugu Xiaoâs mutterings were just that because he had more important things to deal with now.
"All units, listen to my orders! The team responsible for escorting the civilians should continue, the rest follow me to form the formation and slay these dogs who invade our homeland and intend to meddle with the Central Plains!"
As soon as Dugu Xiao shouted these words, the soldiers erupted.
"Yes! Form the formation! Slay the dogs, slay the traitors!"
The commotion from Dugu Xiaoâs side traveled far, all the way to Princess Ata and Xie PanâEr at the rear.
The two of them couldnât help but stop, frequently looking forward, seeing the bright torches lit up like daylight, with the long Nanjiang line advancing towards North City.
"That dog MoâEr! I will kill him!"
Princess Ata was furious, her eyes filled with killing intent!
Xie PanâEr was frightened by the aura of killing that emanated from her and hurriedly called out to her, "Princess Ata! You..."
"You follow the others in retreat, Iâll go and see!"
Xie PanâEr hurriedly grabbed her upon hearing this, "Youâre injured, if you go..."
"Even if I have one last breath left, I canât back down at this moment. You donât practice Martial Arts, hurry and retreat with the others!"
After saying this to Xie PanâEr, Princess Ata turned and left.
Seeing this, Xie PanâEr worriedly called out to her, "Princess Ata..."
"Miss Xie, hurry up and go, the Nanjiang army is about to attack, and Lord Dugu and Divine Hunter Ji will cover our retreat; we must not hold them back or become their burden!"
Deputy General Wang walked over, urging everyone to retreat quickly while speaking to Xie PanâEr.
Xie PanâEr was stunned by these words, and before she could react, she was swept north by the crowd.
On Ji Youzhiâs side, Dugu Xiaoâs Imperial Guard had set up the formation, with Xiaosuisui, Ji Youzhi, and Dugu Xiao standing at the forefront.
The three of them, with three pairs of eyes, were fixedly staring ahead. Dugu Xiao held a large knife, the blade tip stuck in the ground, his palm resting on the hilt, exuding an aura of unyielding authority!
Ji Youzhi, with arms crossed and long sword in his embrace, had a very solemn expression, radiating killing intent!
Among the three, only Xiaosuisuiâs expression was intriguingly different, so out of place with the other two!
It was simply...
