Chapter 157

Before Qin Wu and the others could catch up, Lu Fengjin and Tuoba Feiyuan returned. Tuoba Feiyuan still seemed dazed, unable to shake off the chaos of the battle they had just escaped. Previously, it had always been the men who charged into the formations, and while Lu Fengjin and Qin Wu had led troops into the fray, Tuoba Feiyuan had always been protected, shielded by countless brothers-in-arms. But this time, she had charged out on her own, stripped of that protection, and the long arrows had truly been aimed at her. Her horse had been shot dead, her arm had been grazed by an arrow, and one had even whistled right past her face, leaving her cheek burning with pain. Had Lu Fengjin not arrived in time to pull her back, she would surely have ended up like her horse, pierced through by a hail of arrows. "Prince! Prince!" Qin Wu and several deputy generals rushed over, supporting the arrow-struck Lu Fengjin as they retreated into the Stone Forest.
