Gu Zhao didn't look back. She could hear the movement behind her, and even without using her eyes, she could deduce what happened based on these movements.

She could hear the soldiers' retreat, the civilian husband's fear, and even the Minister of Rites leading people away, all from various sounds.

But she doesn't care.

What she really cares about is whether the baggage and food supplies have been cleaned up.

Gu Zhao felt relieved when he saw the figures of the maids flashing past in the corner and the gestures of success towards her.

Gu Zhao sprinted forward, aiming directly at Yun Conghengxian, who was blocked behind by the guards.

Yun Congheng felt the strong killing intent first. Even though he was used to seeing life and death, he couldn't help but tremble in his heart and took a step back.

The surrounding Donghao soldiers were also frightened and rushed forward to stop Gu Zhao.

Unexpectedly, Gu Zhao's attack seemed to be going forward, but in fact it was just a feint.

The moment Donghao's soldiers moved forward to stop her, she suddenly flew up and jumped out of the fleeting gap.

Yun Congheng first looked at her like a fish, seeming to slip through the back of the crowd with just a twist. His expression suddenly changed, and he shouted sternly, "Shut up!"

He was absolutely unmistakable. It was the same movement technique that He Luguang had used when he fought with Ashan Xiong's men!

He had never seen a second person use it!

And this person's height and body shape are very similar to He Luguang. There is no other explanation other than that he is He Luguang.

After discovering this, Yun Conghengxian even forgot about the burning grain and grass.

Now there is only one thought in his mind, which is to seize this Heluguang and avenge Dahao's warriors who sacrificed their lives innocently in the internal struggle!

"Chase! Catch him!" Yun Congheng pointed at the direction Gu Zhao left and ordered loudly, "Whoever can capture this man alive will be rewarded with a title, gold and silver!"

As soon as they heard that they were being rewarded with titles, Donghao's soldiers, who were originally depressed, suddenly cheered up. Their eyes were green, and they chased Gu Zhao in the direction of Gu Zhao like hungry wolves.

Having a title means entering the ranks of the nobility, possessing various privileges, and no longer having to live a humble and precarious life.

This is the desire and dream of all Donghao civilians.

At this time, they even forgot that they had not had a full stomach for a long time.

Gu Zhao and two maids ran in front, followed by hundreds of Donghao soldiers chasing after them.

If only Gu Zhao was alone, her speed would be enough to throw these soldiers away, and then she would find a place to hide and wait until the Donghao people left before coming out.

But the two maids' Qinggong were not that good. If they were caught by Donghao soldiers, given their age and appearance, I couldn't even imagine what would happen to them.

It had just snowed heavily for half a day, and the surrounding areas were completely white. Except for the occasional trees, the whole world seemed to have no edge or direction.

Gu Zhao held a maid in one hand and tried to identify the surrounding terrain, trying to figure out where he had run.

Suddenly, her eyes lit up, "I remember this path. Go forward along the path. There is a nunnery in front of you. You two should go and take shelter for a while."

The two maids were a little hesitant. They were obviously here to serve Gu Zhao, but they were taken care of and protected by Gu Zhao. Now they had to leave Gu Zhao and run away. It didn't seem good.

Gu Zhao didn't care at all, "You two are too slow. Following me will only hold me back. Let's go quickly."

With that said, Gu Zhao pushed the two maids away and ran in the opposite direction.

Donghao soldiers discovered that the two maids beside Gu Zhao were missing, but they didn't take it seriously. After all, Yun Conghengxian's order was to capture the young official alive.

Gu Zhao did not immediately use Qinggong to escape.

There were only the footprints of the three of them on the snow, so it was easy to find the whereabouts of the two maids.

If she ran away, Yun Congheng would definitely go find the two maids to vent his anger.

So she ran leisurely in front of her, paying attention to what was happening behind her from time to time.

If she found out that the Donghao soldiers had separated from the team to look for traces of the maid, she would be ready to turn around and rush back at any time to kill a group of Donghao soldiers to attract their hatred.

Fortunately, because the wilderness was too vast, Yun Congheng was afraid that Gu Zhao would run away and had no intention of dividing his troops.

Gu Zhao ran for half an hour and estimated that the two maids should have a safe place to stay. Then he turned around and faced the Donghao soldiers who were surrounding them from different directions.

"Heluguang!" Yun Congheng ran first and was out of breath, but refused to give up and kept following Gu Zhao.

When they first escaped from Douchuan Pass, they also had horses.

But after they ran out of rations a few days ago, they had to kill the horses for meat. Now they could only run to chase Gu Zhao, and they were all exhausted.

The more Gu Zhao ran, the more Yun Congheng became certain that the young official from Bei'an in front of him was He Luguang who had once called him brother and sister, like brothers and sisters.

"Tell me, who are you?" Yun Congheng said first to attract Gu Zhao's attention, while motioning for his soldiers to cover him from all sides, leaving no chance for Gu Zhao to escape.
