The military camp suddenly became chaotic.

A military commander named Shi in the remaining army was awakened and rushed out of the tent without even bothering to put on his armor, and hurriedly gathered everyone to put out the fire.

Noisy and chaotic became the most appropriate words to describe the military camp at this time.

When Yue Xinjie saw this scene, a sneer appeared on his face. He took advantage of the chaos to go to the place where An Leiting was imprisoned.

The guards here did not dare to leave to put out the fire, but looking at the flames rising into the sky and the gradually spreading fire, they were very anxious and kept standing on tiptoe to check the situation.

While their attention was focused on the fire, Yue Xinjie led his men around behind them and raised his hand to chop down.

The movements were quick and decisive, and all the guards lost consciousness and fell to the ground.

Yue Xinjie led his men to rush in, and after finding An Leiting, he quickly used a sharp axe to cut off the iron shackles that bound him, and then quickly put on the armor that had been prepared long ago for him.

An Leiting had been planning his escape ever since the day he was arrested, so even though he was bound in shackles, he never stopped exercising privately.

Therefore, even though An Leiting had been imprisoned for many days, he was still able to move freely and agilely. Now that he was wearing armor again, he looked even more energetic.

"Let's go!" An Leiting waved his arm and rushed out with his men. They stuck to the side and rear of the tent, avoiding everyone's sight, and found Jiang Siyuan who had been detained for a long time.

Jiang Siyuan had been disheartened since he was captured. After being imprisoned for several months, he had become thin and listless, looking extremely embarrassed. He was a far cry from the high-spirited general on the battlefield before.

Seeing someone rushing in, the light in Jiang Siyuan's eyes dimmed, and he said in a hoarse voice, "Is this the time for this general to die?"

"I'm here to rescue you." An Leiting said, "So not only is your death not coming, but it's time for you to start a new life."

newborn?

Jiang Siyuan was stunned, his face full of disbelief.

Especially when he saw that the person in front of him was An Leiting, the commander of the Western Frontier Army whom he had met before, he felt that it was a bit absurd.

There was no time to explain too much to Jiang Siyuan at this point, and An Leiting didn't want to waste words, so he just raised his hand and signaled his men to open Jiang Siyuan's shackles.

Then he put a set of Western Frontier Army soldier's clothes on the frail Jiang Siyuan, blocked his mouth, and carried him out.

The fire in the military camp was still burning, and most people's attention was still on putting out the fire. An Leiting lowered his head and walked out under the protection of others.

During this time, a soldier asked, "What happened?"

Yue Xinjie opened his mouth to explain, "Two soldiers who were drinking caused trouble. They were just beaten with sticks and were about to be locked up for two days."

Seeing that man being dragged and looking weak and as if he had been punished, the others stopped asking any more questions.

An Leiting and his group soon arrived at the gate of the military camp.

One had to register when entering or leaving the military camp, and one could not leave without a written order.

If you rush in rashly, the archers at the gate of the military camp will be able to shoot you into a hedgehog.

Even though the soldiers guarding the door had already eaten mung bean cakes laced with knockout drugs, making them all a little sleepy, it was still very dangerous to force their way out.

But Yue Xinjie was already prepared. He put his fingers to his lips and whistled loudly.

Almost in an instant, a dozen warriors on horseback came running in, wearing thick coats made of cotton and mud, and rushed straight to the door. "Someone is breaking in without permission!"

"Fire arrows!"

Feather arrows fell like raindrops, hitting the dead soldiers, but because the soldiers' hands and feet were weak at this time, the arrows they shot were not as strong and powerful as usual. The horses were still galloping, and even broke through the fence gate of the military camp and went out.

The direction of the arrows was from inside to outside, and some soldiers even chased out to catch the people who broke out of the camp.

An Leiting and others took advantage of the fact that the guards at the door were running low on energy and immediately drove their horses to rush out. In order to protect themselves from arrows, they also wore thick cloaks.

The movements are swift and agile, almost as fast as lightning, which can catch people off guard.

Although some people or horses around them were hit by arrows and fell to the ground, An Leiting and his group managed to get out successfully.

After coming out, I didn't dare to stop for a moment, but just followed the path that had been planned long ago, heading towards the valley in the northwest direction!

They galloped all the way until a hint of paleness appeared in the eastern sky. Then An Leiting and the others pulled the reins slightly to slow down the horses' pace.

Turning his head to look at the Western Frontier Army camp that had long disappeared from his sight, and then looking again at the border line that was right in front of him, An Leiting breathed a sigh of relief.

Yue Xinjie was delighted and said, "Congratulations, Commander."

"It's a little early to say that." An Leiting pulled the reins, forcing the horse under him to stop, then he dismounted and rested under a tree nearby.

Yue Xinjie hurriedly ordered people to bring water and food, and at the same time asked someone to bring Jiang Siyuan over.

Jiang Siyuan was already thin and weak, and now he was being tossed around on a horse's back for half the night. He felt pain all over his body, as if his internal organs were being shaken out. After dry heaving several times, he collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath.

Then, he still looked at An Leiting with disbelief, "What are you going to do!"

"General Jiang, can't you see what we want to do?" An Leiting smiled sideways.

After last night's thrilling experience, Jiang Siyuan could see some clues and asked tentatively, "Are you going to join our Jinwei Kingdom?"

but……

"Why?" Jiang Siyuan asked.

An Leiting was the commander of the Western Frontier Army. For him, surrendering to the enemy and betraying his country seemed to be too high a price to pay. Moreover, the benefits he would gain might not be as much as what he would get in the Great Zhou Kingdom.

"To be honest with you, General Jiang, the emperor of the Great Zhou is incompetent. Seeing my great military achievements, he was worried that I might be too successful to be a threat to him. He found a random excuse to execute my child and even tried to punish me. I am extremely angry and I am no longer willing to serve such an incompetent emperor."

An Leiting patiently explained, "I heard that the ruler of Jinwei is wise and intelligent, loved by the people, and is eager to seek talents, so I want to go and join him."

"So, you rescued me so that you could use me as a stepping stone to meet the king?" Jiang Siyuan looked at An Leiting.

"That's right." An Leiting said, "General Jiang is highly regarded by the King of Jinwei, so he must have this ability. I have too many things in the Western Frontier Army and have experienced many battles. I think I will definitely not disappoint the King of Jinwei."

After hearing this, Jiang Siyuan remained silent for a long time, obviously thinking about the credibility of An Leiting's words.

"It will take a long time to reach the capital of Jinwei. General Jiang can think about it slowly along the way." (End of this chapter)
