In ancient times, she gave birth to seven daughters and was divorced by her husband's family.

Chapter 881: The Turkic Khan caught up with Bai Lu! The fire burned fiercely

"Didn't White Snake say before that if we stayed here for a day or two, reinforcements would arrive? We are already so deep in the mountains, the Turks won't be able to find us anytime soon..."

"Besides, even if they wanted to find us, wouldn't they have to fight the reinforcements outside? They probably wouldn't be able to take care of us for a while, right?"

"..."

The people touched their bloody feet and said to Bai Lu anxiously, "Yes, and our straw sandals are really inconvenient in the deep mountains!"

Those who wear cloth shoes are fine, just their feet are swollen.

But the people who wore straw sandals were very miserable, their feet had already been worn out.

"How about...we take a rest and leave in two days?"

After hearing this, Bai Lu suddenly realized that it was not so easy for these people to walk into the mountains... and they would encounter many difficulties.

In particular, many of them are women and children, and it is very good that they can keep up.

And those Turkic soldiers behind... were all well-equipped, and many of them even had combat boots.

The gap in marching equipment between the two sides was too great. If these civilians continued to move forward, they would probably be caught up by the Turkic soldiers in no time.

What should I do? Bai Lu frowned, suddenly feeling something was wrong.

If the Turkic soldiers caught up with the civilians, wouldn't they be massacred?!

Seeing Bai Lu's solemn expression, the people were stunned. They asked Bai Lu cautiously, "Lady Bai, are you feeling unwell?"

"If... you still want us to move forward, then we will move forward."

"Don't be sad, we will listen to you."

"That's right! Even if we can't walk, we have to move forward."

There is no time to waste at this point.

Bai Lu felt sad when she saw how frightened these people were and how cautious they were, afraid of getting her angry.

But there was no time to coax them, and she didn't want to tell this matter and cause panic, so Bai Lu just said to them.

"Then let's move forward. If there are women and children who can't walk, we can rest here for a while."

Think of a solution as you go.

The people set off immediately.

They felt it was a pity to leave the fence there.

Bai Lu fell into deep thought...It was indeed a pity, why not use these fences to do something good.

"General Bai Qi." She suddenly turned to Bai Qi, Master Xi, and Xu Xian and said, "I'd like to trouble you three to do something for me."

"What do you want us to do?"

Xu Xian rubbed his hands together, his eyes sparkling with excitement, "Let's do it!"

Then Bai Lu smiled at them and said, "You guys do this and that..."

After telling them this, Xu Xian nodded and said with a smile: "No problem, we can help you with this matter."

She didn't feel the weight at all when she carried the frail old lady, as if she was carrying a plastic bag. She took Bai Qi and Master Xi with her and went to fetch the fence.

Young Master Xi has lost all hope in life, but now he has to be busy again.

But as long as Bailu is safe, anything is fine.

If Bai Lu died here, what would happen to my system?

The three of them stayed here to buy time for Bai Lu and the others, while Bai Lu and the others immediately packed up their things and walked forward with the remaining meat in their hands.

Before long, the place was deserted.

Seeing their backs walking away, Master Xi and the others had already pulled out all the fences and arranged them neatly in a row.

Then they sat there and listened to the sounds coming from thirty miles away.

After a while, they felt that the sound seemed to be closer, very close to them...about one or two miles away.

Seeing this situation, Master Xi immediately took out the fire starter in his hand.

Bai Lu just left him some money and bought it from the system mall herself.

Young Master Xi bought a lot of tinder, lit them and threw them directly onto the fence, and the fence immediately caught fire!

Suddenly a tongue of fire shot out from this place, slowly drawing in the surrounding fences and spreading into a sea of ​​fire.

The smoke was choking and pungent, and the road ahead was shrouded in thick smog.

No one could tell which direction their footprints were heading, nor could anyone tell how many paths there were ahead.

But even so, Master Xi still put his hand on the ground and shook it hard with his internal force, and the footprints on the ground were immediately smoothed out by the shaking soil.

Xu Xian and others hid aside and quietly watched the situation ahead.

The Turks arrived soon after.

But... they didn't look like they were tracking Bai Lu, but rather like they were running for their lives.

Young Master Xi looked at them and was surprised to find, "Hey, isn't that the Turkic Khan at the front? Why is he so embarrassed?"

"He should be guarding the city!"

"Unless...someone comes from the city!"

Their allies are coming?!

Otherwise, the Turkic Khan would definitely be stationed in the city.

Thinking of this, Master Xi's eyes lit up.

Xu Xian, who was standing next to him, quietly asked Master Xi, "Who is this?"

"Turkic Khan, hush, keep your voice down." Young Master Xi took them to hide under a tree and said with a smile, "This Turkic Khan is nothing to be afraid of. He is just a brave but foolish guy..."

"To be honest, if they didn't have a group of soldiers and happened to have captured the daughter of the Zhaozhou governor, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to show it to us."

"The Turks are so small. How can the heroes from their territory compare to the heroes from a vast territory like Dawu?"

"Yes, the Turkic Khan is not as good as Bai Lu." Xu Xian muttered in a low voice.

They looked ahead cautiously, then heard the Turkic Khan shout angrily, "Why is there so much smoke here?! Bai Lu and the others must have gone forward!"

"Someone, put out the fire quickly!!"

"If we don't put out the fire, let alone going forward, we'll probably all be burned to death! We can only turn back the way we came!"

This was a huge wildfire, and the fire here was endless.

But asking them to go back the same way...how can that be possible?

I'm afraid that if I go back, I'll be beaten up by those soldiers from Zhaozhou!

"..."

The fire here was very big. Soon, the flames spread and burned many trees.

For a while, they couldn't find any good fire-fighting tools. Rivers and water sources were too far away from here, so they could only put out the fire with their bare hands.

Before long, the fire spread to the Turkic soldiers, making them miserable and screaming.

The Turkic Khan gnashed his teeth in anger: "Why are you so stupid? Can't you use your brain?!"

"Use clothes to put out the fire!"

They tore off their clothes!

The fire roasted all the muscles in his body until they were shiny and covered in sweat.

They could only use their clothes to beat down the fire, and some small flames jumped onto their clothes... They stepped on them hard, and the fire on their clothes went out.

Using such a clumsy method to put out the fire bit by bit made them exhausted.

It wasn't until the next night that they put out the fire.

It’s not that they are too weak, but there are trees everywhere here, which can be easily ignited.

"I really don't know what kind of genius came up with this method for them to set fire here..."

The Turkic Khan narrowed his eyes in anger. A very familiar young man stood up slowly and said, "It should be Bai Lu."

This person is Chen Yuan.

The Turkic Khan was shocked to see Chen Yuan suddenly appear.

Then he frowned, very disgusted: "I guess it's Bai Lu!"

"If it wasn't Bai Lu, I really don't know... who could have come up with such a cunning method that we didn't even have to fight! We lost more than half of our men!"

He gritted his teeth; they hadn't slept all night.

Chen Yuan held his forehead helplessly. "This... you should just be content. You should know that there are relatively few dead trees in the mountains and forests along the south of the Yangtze River. There's heavy fog every morning and evening. It's very humid here, and wet wood is hard to light!"

"If a fire this large were lit in Liangzhou or Qingzhou... it would burn you all to ashes in a few hours. Why would you bother trying to put it out here?"

"This fire is on and off, but it's only on a small scale."

After hearing this, the Turkic Khan felt that their Turkic nation was too small after all, so he had little experience. He did not expect... that there were so many things to say here.

Afterwards, Chen Yuan said softly, "Lord Khan, let's rest here for a while."

"Why rest? If we rest here any longer, won't the Kyoto army behind us be able to catch up with us directly?!" Upon hearing this, the Turkic Khan became furious. He was almost mad with anger. "This Bai Lu... actually cost us so much time!"

"Otherwise! We might be able to capture Bai Lu! And threaten the Kyoto army."

After hearing this, Chen Yuan fell silent.

Then he became amused and said to the Turkic Khan: "My Lord Khan, I'm afraid you think too much."

"???" Upon hearing this, the Turkic Khan's eyes widened completely. No, this Chen Yuan actually dared to speak to him like that?!

Chen Yuan said coldly, "If we don't rest, even if we, the Turkic soldiers, catch Bai Lu and the others, it will be difficult for us to capture them. It will definitely be a lose-lose situation for both sides."

"Look, how tired these soldiers are!"

When the Turkic Khan turned his head, he saw that his soldiers only had a few tattered clothes hanging on their bodies, looking at the Turkic Khan helplessly.

Even...many soldiers are shirtless.

It's so cold in the deep mountains...and if it's foggy at night, it would be easy to catch a cold.

If a person doesn't sleep for a whole day and catches a cold at this time, he will simply die.

The Turkic Khan's face turned paler and paler.

Seeing that his face was pale, Chen Yuan didn't say anything. He just stood there quietly waiting for the Turkic Khan to speak.

He felt that this Turkic Khan was very stupid, not even as smart as the governor of Liangzhou who had rebelled before.

This person just had some luck and was able to mess up Da Wu.

"..." A long time passed, and the Turkic Khan still hadn't made up his mind. Chen Yuan urged him, "Khan, if you don't make up your mind, I'm afraid we'll all die."

"How about letting the soldiers rest here for a few hours?"

The Turkic Khan shook his head, and finally turned around and said, "Go call Pei Huizhou over, and I will ask him what he means."

"Okay." Chen Yuan nodded.

Pei Huizhou was pushed in by the Turks in a small cart. At this time, Pei Huizhou was exhausted. His face was burning hot. He had had a high fever since he arrived in Zhaozhou City.

The military doctor in the city was just a decoration and didn't treat Pei Huizhou properly.

At this time, Pei Huizhou was in a daze, with a splitting headache, and he almost felt like he was about to explode.

Then the Turkic Khan said, "Tell me...how can we counterattack on the spot and turn the disadvantage into an advantage?"

"......" The Turkic Khan talked for a long time, but Pei Huizhou just sat there blankly without saying anything.

Just when the Turkic Khan thought that he might not be able to hear Pei Huizhou say a word, Pei Huizhou's eyes moved.

"Unless Bai Lu can be captured and a captive can be used to threaten her."

"Otherwise... it would be impossible."

Hearing this, the Turkic Khan said angrily, "Aren't you just trying to harass me? How can I catch Bai Lu?"

"Bai Lu has already run away!"

Not far away, Xu Xian, Bai Qi, and Master Xi, who were listening to their movements, seemed a little bored.

They have been waiting here for so long, but the Turkic Khan and his men have not yet resolved the current situation.

Bai Lu had probably used the time to move all the people away within this day, so they would not be in any danger for the time being.

Xu Xian whispered, "They seem so stupid. They couldn't put out the fire after all this time. There's a water source fifty kilometers away! I don't believe they didn't see it when they came here!"

Young Master Xi laughed and said, "There is indeed a water source fifty kilometers away, but how can we transport it here?"

"So this is the only way... using this most primitive and stupid method to put out the fire."

Hearing this, Xu Xian nodded.

Then she pricked up her ears and said with a smile, "Listen, they actually said something about taking prisoners or not... Interesting."

Xu Xian rolled his eyes and said, "I really don't know what it feels like to be a prisoner."

At this moment, the old lady above her head seemed to move.

Xu Xian looked at Bai Qi next to him, and then looked at Master Xi next to him.

Bai Qi stood up instantly and wanted to knock the old lady unconscious again.

Young Master Xi suddenly grabbed his hand, his eyes gleaming with light.

He and Xu Xian looked at each other and both laughed.

They suddenly had a very good idea...

They specifically sent a message to Bai Lu.

Bai Lu quickly agreed.

The old lady woke up and screamed, and found herself on a woman's back!

She immediately tried to run away.

When Xu Xian saw that she was trying to run away, he immediately flew forward and knocked her unconscious.

Suddenly, the movement here attracted the attention of the Turkic Khan.
