Return of the Swallow

in’s soldiers.

It was fortuitous that the three from Azure Justice and Lu Heng’s two bodyguards had found them.
They were all incredibly strong, each capable of taking on ten people.
This made their circumstances much better than if it was just the Minuo bearing the brunt of it all.

However, the pursuing troops were in contact with each other.
When one squadron found them and engaged them in battle, it was impossible to ensure that absolutely no one got away.
Thus, their situation grew more and more reactive.
It was becoming common that not even two days would pass after their last battle before running into another group of soldiers.

After being tormented like this for ten days, they were all physically and emotionally exhausted.

After temporarily losing the soldiers, everyone hurried to set up basic tents to catch up on some sleep.
However, heither Qin Yining or Cao Yuqing were sleepy.
Their nerves were stretched taut with constant worries of pursuers catching up.

Qin Yining closed her eyes and let herself rest for a while until she suddenly heard a voice outside the tent.
“Alliance Head.”

Qin Yining abruptly opened her eyes, and asked in a hushed voice, “Who is it?”

“Alliance Head, it’s me, Liao Zhibing.” Liao Zhibing lowered his voice, “I have something to report.”

Qin Yining locked eyes with Cao Yuqing, only answering after receiving a nod.
“Please come in.”

Liao Zhibing murmured a few words of courtesy before pushing open the tent flap and stooping by the tent entrance, perfectly abiding by etiquette.
“Alliance Head, I’ve just discovered Second Master Lu has run away.”

“Run away?” Qin Yining was greatly startled.
“How do you know? Did you see him?”

The three from Azure Justice were all in tents close to her’s, which was located in the female side of camp.
In comparison, Lu Heng and his two guards were with Harbhara and Caganbhara, at the other end of the group.

There were eight hundred tribesmen in the group, in addition to all the supplies they were transporting.
That made for a great distance between the two ends of the camp.
If Liao Zhibing personally saw Lu Heng run away, he would’ve had to travel all the way to the other side.
Why would he be sneaking around instead of sleeping in the middle of the night?

When Liao Zhibing saw the suspicion on Qin Yining’s face, he quietly cut straight to the truth.

“I lived in the Miao territories for a few years and learned some of their venom techniques.
Those techniques are focused on raising poisonous creatures like centipedes, snakes, or scorpions.
When we just arrived, I didn’t really trust Lu Heng and left a tracking bug on him.
Just now, I felt him leaving.”
