Chapter 722 Chase! (2)

738
Duan Yixu was slightly stunned, and was about to use his kung fu to catch up, but he saw that Pan Ren had already jumped onto another tree while he was doing his kung fu.

Duan Yixu's eyes darkened, an ominous premonition flashed in his heart, and he secretly said: Oops!He gave up dealing with Pan Ren and chased him southwest.

When Pan Ren heard the sound of Duan Yixu leaving, he was also stunned for a moment. He didn't expect Duan Yixu to react so quickly, he broke off a tree branch and shot in the direction of Duan Yixu's departure.

Pan Ren knew that his blow would definitely not be able to hit Duan Yixu, but as long as he could hold Duan Yixu for a while longer, Marshal Lu would be more alive.

Marshal Lu must go back alive!

Thinking of this, Pan Ren broke off the second branch and shot towards Duan Yixu's direction.

Duan Yixu dodged the first tree branch, he couldn't help but pause, and when he turned his head and saw another tree branch flying towards him, he stretched out his hand to calmly grab the tree branch, and threw it out with his backhand.

Duan Yixu used [-]% of his skills in this throw. Pan Ren was seriously injured and couldn't dodge being hit in time, so he fell from the tree.

Duan Yixu had no time to pay attention to Pan Ren's life and death, and continued to chase after him.

Duan Yixu didn't know how far he had chased, but suddenly, he narrowed his eyes and stopped.

He stared at the horseshoe prints and messy footprints on the ground, his face was terribly gloomy.

He tightened his hand holding the sword, pursed his lips and looked towards the direction where the horseshoe prints were going away.

He actually let Lu Bai run away!
Duan Yuan and others who were waiting in another part of the woods waited for a long time but did not see Duan Yixu coming back, so they lit up the torch again and searched in the woods.

This forest is very large and lush, and no one comes in on weekdays, so Duan Yuan and the others quickly found Duan Yixu along the footprints.

Duan Yixu just returned to the place where Pan Ren climbed the tree just now. He looked at the ground for a while, but found nothing unusual except for the footprints just now.

Seeing Duan Yixu's unpredictable expression, Duan Yuan asked guiltily and cautiously: "Young master, if you didn't capture Lu Bai alive, how can you explain to the emperor?"

It turned out that half a month ago the imperial court ordered Duan Yixu to take back all the occupied cities within one month, otherwise he would be dismissed as Marshal.

There was a sneer on Duan Yixu's lips, "If you can't capture Lu Bai alive, it doesn't mean you can't take Huaizhu City!"

Huaizhu City is the northernmost city of Qiyao Kingdom, that is, the city at the border with Beihe, which was occupied by Beihe for the first time.

At the same time, it is also the place where Duan Yixu's hometown is located!
"Back to camp!"

Duan Yixu withdrew his thoughtful gaze on the tree trunk above his head, retracted his soft sword and strode out of the woods.

As soon as they entered Luo City, several generals including Luo Yiqing came forward to meet him.

"Marshal!" Luo Yiqing and the others breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Duan Yixu had returned safely.

Seeing that the usual calm was quickly restored in the city, Duan Yixu slightly raised the corners of his lips to the generals: "Thanks to the generals!"

"Marshal, as long as you can win the battle, no matter how hard you work, it will be worth it!" Several generals admired Duan Yixu's strategic planning.

Immediately afterwards, several generals happily asked: "Marshal, shall we go straight to Huaizhu City?"

"Marshal, the subordinates also feel that they should take advantage of the situation and pursue, and not give the opponent a chance to breathe!"

These generals usually show no signs of emotion, but tonight's battle was too easy, and the harvest was the most rewarding and the least sacrificed battle of all their battles. They really couldn't hide their hearts excitement and excitement.

Duan Yixu pondered for a while: "I pass on the command of my commander, the whole army rests for a quarter of an hour, and later they will go straight to Huaizhu City, and the whole army will have breakfast in Huaizhu City!"

Huaizhu City is less than twenty miles away from Luo City, and the soldiers are in a state of excitement after winning the battle. At this time, attacking Huaizhu City will be more effective with less effort.

Lu Bai led troops to attack Luocheng tonight, and Beihe's army almost came out in full force, so Duan Yixu was confident in taking down Huaizhu City.

As Duan Yixu expected, the Qiyao army took back Huaizhu City without any effort, and the people in the city celebrated wildly for returning to the embrace of the Qiyao Kingdom. It was accompanied by many voices of weeping with joy.

Duan Yixu didn't want to disturb the people, so the army camped four or five miles outside Huaizhu City.

Dajun didn't sleep all night, and rested after hastily eating breakfast, Duan Yixu returned to the handsome tent but didn't feel sleepy for a long time.

Although it was daytime, the camp was peaceful, Duan Yixu walked out of the tent, stood in front of the tent and looked into the distance in a daze.

After an unknown amount of time, Duan Yixu resolutely turned around and returned to the tent, sat at the table rubbing ink and pen to write Beibei's first letter in months.

There are thousands of words, but I don't know where to start when I pick up the pen.

Duan Yixu sighed softly, and only after a while did he write...

In the blink of an eye, it was the end of August again, and Beibei was walking on the beach with her bulging belly, and Yu Qiu, who was next to her, followed step by step, not daring to take her eyes off Beibei for a moment.

My young lady refused to help her, so Yu Qiu had no choice but to concentrate on watching her, lest her young lady fall down.

Yu Qiu couldn't understand my lady, her yard was so big, but my lady wanted to walk on the beach, and she was talking about breathing fresh air.

Yu Qiu was puzzled, but he never questioned his young lady's words, because everything the young lady said was reasonable.

Sudden--

"Master, Master Duan is here!" Shen Wen looked towards the entrance of the village with sharp ears and eyes.

Beibei raised her head, followed Wen's line of sight, the corners of her lips curled up, and she went forward.

"Father, why are you here?"

Every time Duan Xin saw Beibei, the first thing he saw was subconsciously looking at her belly.

"The day of delivery is coming soon, it's time to go back to An County." Duan Xin reminded aloud.

Every time he sees Beibei's belly which is no different from a normal parturient, Duan Xin always frowned imperceptibly.

I heard from my mother-in-law that this girl can eat very well, why is her stomach so small?The two children don't know if they have grown up?

"Yu Qiu, what day is today?" Hearing Duan Xin's words, Bei Bei couldn't help asking Yu Qiu beside her, she was so busy that she forgot the date.

Of course, her busyness refers to being busy in the space. It is impossible for her family to let her do things when she is pregnant.

"Miss, it is already the twenty-eighth of August."

"Oh!" Beibei nodded.

Time flies so fast!
"By the way, Xu'er has a letter!" Duan Xin took out a letter from his bosom and handed it to Beibei.

Beibei took it in surprise and joy, and opened the letter impatiently.

You know, Duan Yixu hasn't returned a letter since he left for the expedition. Beibei doesn't show it on the face, but she is looking forward to his letter in her heart.

Duan Yixu didn't write any missing words in the letter, but Beibei could feel Duan Yixu's deep miss for her between the lines, and her eyes became hot when she saw it.

"Father, let's go back." Beibei put away the letter and said to Duan Yixu.

Now Duan Mansion is her home!
As soon as Beibei's carriage stopped in front of Duan's mansion, Lu Hui rushed out of Duan's mansion with a solemn expression.
