Night has arrived,
they kept waiting for Han Shiao, hoping for better conditions. Suddenly a guard ran to find Lixi Wei. He came with a crush and his breathing was irregular.
“laka sir, the red warriors come again, the times they come with more people and there is one swordsman among them”, the guard explained
They looked at each other, Lixi wei asked Chiao feng to run hide from the back of the inn first with a guard, he and the other two guards would take Han Shiao as well.
Chiao feng was reluctant and unwilling to leave his uncle who was terminally ill but Lixi wei explained further.
“go with this child, we meet at the end of this village north” orders Lixi wei to her guard.
The guard pulled Chiao feng and headed for the back door to escape. But one member of the red soldier had seen them, the member also exclaimed ‘I saw them running from behind inn”
Fifteen members and a warrior from the red army chased them. The distance between them and the red soldiers was not far so the guards quickly realized the presence of the red soldiers.
“get , I'll try to slow them” the guard told chiao feng
Chiao feng immediately ran forward, while the guard stopped and took another direction to outwit the red soldier. But the close enough distance made the red soldiers know this was a way to make them split.
The warrior who was with the red soldier also ordered the six members of the red soldier chasing chiao feng and the other members came with him chasing the guard earlier.
While at the inn Lixi Wei with the two guards did not see the arrival of the steely red warrior, ”how could they all chase after Chiao feng.?“ he asked in his heart
Let's quickly pick him up we'll leave this village “ Lixi wei ordered her guard to bring her horse carriage then lift Han shiao's body into the cart and take her north of the village .
“where the boy was” asked Lixi Wei
“I don't know sir, we were separated, there were too many of them and I couldn't deal with them” the guard explained the situation
“Maybe the child has been caught or is dead” he continued
“Let's our master go, before the red warrior overtakes us, we can all be killed” said another guard
Finally they went in a carriage pulled by two horses leaving the village to Xianyang the capital of the Qin kingdom.

Chiao feng continued to run in the dark of the night illuminated by the faint moonlight towards the increasingly dark forest, he already knew no way to return but fear still enveloped his heart, he forced himself to keep running even though sometimes he stopped for a while to rest giving his lungs time to breathe and then resume.
Three hours he ran in the wilderness who had somehow gotten where he was, he was sure no one was chasing him, chiao feng stopped under a large tree. The exhaustion that so enveloped his body, he had difficulty moving his body and he fainted in that place .

When chiao feng woke up, the sun was in the spear's possession, he was still feeling weak all over his body, as he walked with his hands he continued down the forest that seemed to have no edges , every now and then he looked to the left and right, thirst and hunger also continued to torment him,
‘I have to find water or at least forest fruits that I can eat” he said in heart
Almost three hours he walked through the forest, finally he saw a tree that bore not so much fruit, the size of the fruit was as large as wine, the color orange and seemed to contain a lot of water, he said, without caring about the surrounding he climbed up the tree and plucked all the fruits, then he went down and ate the fruit one by one, the taste of the very fresh fruit made his throat so relieved, the thirst and hunger he suffered gradually disappeared, all the fruit he had spent.
Chiao feng was already feeling better, he continued on his way to find a way out of the endless wilderness, which felt endless, one thing he was confused about was that even though it had been a long time running but he did not feel the slightest fatigue in his body.
