Beyond the third son's plan, Ye Lang had a significant role in their escape. He had managed to make the warhorses constantly gallop, even exceeding their original speed, swiftly heading towards the border.
What method did he use? Everyone was curious. They had observed him feed each horse a small pill, allowing them to gallop for a long period and then continue feeding them to keep going.
Do you know what this is? No, this should be called a performance-enhancing drug. As an alchemist, it would be shameful not to have such a potion!
However, after these warhorses run out of their medicine, they will probably all fall seriously ill...
"Worthless! Completely worthless! After chasing for so many days, not only did we fail to catch up, but also let him run even further!" These days, Zhao Yarou's temper has been very bad, and many people have suffered because of it.
At this point, she had successfully become the queen, wielding great power over the country, but the bloody means she used in the process are things ordinary people could never know.
Now, everyone in the country knows about a group of unbelievable people who seemingly betrayed the emperor and plotted against him. Following this came Zhao Yarou's appearance to accuse these people of wrongdoing, and then she ordered a siege against them, showing no mercy!
Of course, many people suspected that it was Zhao Yarou who seized power for herself, but no one dared to speak out. And now that she was already the queen, unless someone wanted to rebel, they had to obey her.
"Him? Aren't there more of them?" Zhao Yarou's companion found it strange why the queen always referred to these people as him.
"No matter what means you use, at whatever cost, you must not let him escape!" Zhao Yarou coldly snorted, and then, she said to a young girl beside her, "Do you really have the confidence to create alchemical weapons better than his?"
"I can, I definitely can!!" the girl nodded confidently.
"Alright! Tell me whatever you need, I will fulfill everything for you!" Zhao Yarou looked at the young girl, seeing not only the brilliance of this Shalan in the future, but also the darkness in the girl.
"If you can't do it, then bring out the last ace in the hole!" Zhao Yarou gritted her teeth and made a decision, but it seemed that this decision wouldn't be a small matter.
"The last ace in the hole? Does that mean...?"
...
"Third brother, my admiration for you is like the endless and surging river..." Ye Lang looked at his third brother, with watery eyes, looking admiringly.
At the same time, he was not riding his own horse this time, but was being led to ride on a horse with Ye Lanyu. This time, he didn't fall off, instead, he held Ye Lanyu's slender waist with both hands, appearing nonchalant and not at all like someone being pursued by a large army.
"Go away, don't be silly!" Third brother waved his hand, looking displeased, but from his expression, it was evident that he was a little pleased to see Ye Lang's adoring gaze.
This was at the border of the Xiangkong Empire. The army of the Xiangkong Empire was looking at them triumphantly from ten miles away, and there were still many more people and horses behind, but it was even more hopeless for them to catch up with Ye Lang and the others.
During this time, Ye Lang and the others had been openly moving around within the empire, but they frequently diverted a small group of people to create confusion, making the empire's army run around.
And with the clever arrangements of the third brother, the empire was completely led by the nose, allowing him to take the initiative, making people suspect whether they were actually being besieged.
This may seem simple in words, but it was not so easy to execute. Luckily, these people were all top experts and could successfully carry it out.
After the incident, some people specially studied this escape battle, making them understand the importance of understanding the enemy and the significance of using surprising tactics!
Regarding the understanding of the enemy, the third brother largely relied on the military loopholes of the Xiangkong Empire to carry out his plan. Without knowing these loopholes, there would have been no way to devise these strategies!
As for using surprising tactics, it was something that could only be implicitly understood and not conveyed in words. In short, it meant catching the enemy off guard, but not letting oneself be taken by surprise, otherwise it would backfire.
After a series of strategies, Ye Lang and the others successfully crossed the empire's defenses. The arrangement effectively pulled the border army to trail behind them, and when the army found out, it was already too late.
The border army became the biggest obstacle for Ye Lang and the others on this journey, but unexpectedly, they resolved it so easily!
Therefore, at this moment, Ye Lang didn't hesitate to express his admiration, looking at his third brother with electrified eyes...
"Don't joke around, we can't relax now. If someone catches up to us, we will be in an extremely perilous situation and at that point, we will have no hope!" Ye Yi reminded.
At this point, they had managed to escape from the Xiangkong Empire's army, but if they got surrounded, even if they were strong, they would only have a dead end.
This was the border, and the army here outnumbered the imperial city's several times and didn't have the advantage of obstacles like the imperial city. They had nothing here except for their own forces and the army.
In this situation, being held back, even if they were all top-tier experts, it would be very difficult to escape!! Moreover, there were only two top-tier experts here!!!
Hopefully, nothing unexpected happens!
However, sometimes, fate doesn't always comply with people's wishes. Even though the lucky goddess had always favored Ye Lang, it didn't mean that she wouldn't make him face some hardships.
"Dad, grandpa, did I see it wrong? I saw something in the sky that shouldn't be there." Ye Lang turned to look at the sky, his tone becoming solemn and no longer playful.
Ye Lang's change made Ye Yi and the others become cautious, as they followed Ye Lang's gaze...
After seeing what Ye Lang was talking about, their faces became very serious, mixed with surprise!! Obviously, the appearance of these things had caught them off guard!
"No way, even this has been deployed? They really think highly of us!" Ye Chengtian said with a wry smile.
"Yes, even during the battle with the Zhuque Empire fifty years ago, this didn't appear. But we are just a small group of fugitives, is it necessary?" Third brother said angrily. The appearance of these things would make his escape plan completely fail.
At a moment when they were about to achieve victory, such a change occurred, making anyone feel disgruntled!
"What did you see?" Some with poorer eyesight, such as the magician Ye Lanyu, could only see some black dots, akin to flying birds.
"Dragon knights!" Ye Lang said, revealing an answer that made many feel despair.
