Chapter 411: Chapter 172: The World’s Pact!_4

As he turned around again, Li Guanyi seemed to have grasped the young lady’s throat.

Li Guanyi’s body tensed slightly as the young miss held his hand and whispered, "Take me as a hostage..."

"Only in this way can I save you, and save the Xue Family..."

The girl’s voice was slightly choked up.

Li Guanyi pursed his lips, then took the young lady as his hostage. The young miss was not only the Xue Family’s eldest daughter but had also been conferred the title of Commandery Princess by Chen Dingye. Obviously, the city’s guards would know of this, and now they hesitated, not knowing whether to advance or retreat.

In that moment of hesitation,

Zhao Dabing had quietly unfastened the harness of the carriage’s beast of burden. The exotic beast cried out loudly, its body enveloped in lightning. Zhao Dabing shouted, "Ah, the beast is running wild! Get out of the way, quick, get out of the way!"

Li Guanyi held the young miss and leapt onto the horse. The warhorse neighed as if its hooves trod on thunder.

As a soldier was about to fire a crossbow arrow, he was stopped by the Deputy General, who turned deathly pale and exclaimed, "Are you insane? That’s the young miss of the Xue Family, the Commandery Princess of Yun Meng, a noble of the third rank. If you want to die, fine, but I want to live!!!"

In that moment, the exotic beast broke through the blockade and ran wildly. The Deputy General glanced at Zhao Dabing, who shouted, "Chase after them! That’s an exotic beast, ah my poor young miss, taken hostage by this heartless man, if you can’t protect her!!"

"Even Lu Youxian couldn’t escape!"

The Deputy General, his face pale with anger, could only grit his teeth and command, "Chase!"

They left behind a group of men, while another pursued the tracks. But the exotic beast was too fast to catch. Li Guanyi broke out of the encirclement and widened the distance. He didn’t leave the city because he had anticipated that it would mean a desperate fight.

Such a maneuver wouldn’t fool the famed general, Lu Youxian.

He dismounted, the city still quiet, and let go of his hold, but the young miss clung to his hand, suddenly biting down hard on his palm, tears falling and landing in the young man’s palm.

Softly, she tenderly kissed his palm.

Then she tore off the most valuable jade pendant from her waist and stuffed it into the young man’s hand, pushing him hard in the chest. Even his sturdy Dragon and Tiger physique was pushed back. The young miss’s tears fell, but she just wiped them away roughly, calling out loudly, "Go!"

"Go! The further away the better!"

"And never look back."

Li Guanyi staggered backward, the exotic beast neighing. He walked a few steps back to the side of the beast, looking back at the tear-stained young miss, emotion swelling in his heart. Suddenly, he spun around and strode back toward her.

The young miss anxiously said, "Why are you coming back? Go!"

Li Guanyi reached out and held the young miss tightly in his arms.

He held her as if he wanted to merge her into his being, embracing her tightly, gently inhaling the scent of her hair as if to imprint this moment deeply into his soul, then he turned around, mounted the horse, and grasped the Battle Halberd hanging from the horse’s side, looking at the young miss.

He raised the Battle Halberd toward the sky, his youthfully heroic gaze as intense as the stars, and declared loudly, "I will return!"

"Xue Shuangtao!"

"Remember, I will definitely return, with a mighty army behind me, I will become a hero of this world, take up arms, lead thousands of troops, and then I will come back!"

"You must wait for me!"

The youthful promise and farewell seemed like a dream; he said he would become the hero of the entire world and would return with an army to find her. But the girl’s tears fell even harder. Then he picked up his weapon, rode his warhorse toward the war-torn world, and never looked back.
