Huo Yan carried Yuan Zhizhi on his back and walked out hand in hand with Yuan Zhao.
Huo Yan was the only one who entered Chaoyuan, and the rest of his men were waiting outside to support them.
It was convenient to carry Yuan Zhizhi on his back when he came here, but if he goes out now, it will easily cause a big noise if he takes Yuan Zhao with him.
In order to avoid attracting attention as much as possible, Huo Yan could only grope his way forward step by step in the dark, carefully avoiding the surveillance of the Eagle Guards.
Fortunately, Yuan Zhizhi was there, and on the way, one could hear the chirping of insects and birds, which were common at night. Zhizhi pointed the way on Huo Yan's back.
[Go east, there are two people here. You can avoid them by sticking to the corner...]
[There is a small path on the right that leads down the mountain.]
[Be careful, there's someone in the tree on the left! ]
Yuan Zhao then understood why Zhizhi had just said it was her credit.
Chaoyuan is very large and it is difficult to find the exit. Even Huo Yan was a little confused about the direction for a moment.
Yuan Zhao gently squeezed the hand that Huo Yan was holding. Huo Yan stopped, looked back at her, and asked with his eyes what was wrong.
She leaned close to his ear and whispered, "I'll go ahead."
Huo Yan raised his eyebrows and switched places with Yuan Zhao.
Zhizhi continued to point the way, but it was obvious that their speed had increased a lot after the change of people.
Huo Yan followed Yuan Zhao and realized that Yuan Zhao was very clear about the control arrangements in the imperial garden.
As long as she knows the basics, she can react quickly and even predict in advance.
She seemed to have a map in her mind, knowing where the paths were, where the rocks and shrubs she could hide under, and where the Eagle Guards' blind spots were.
Obviously, she had memorized Chaoyuan's control plan.
Combined with Zhizhi's ability and Huo Yan's reaction speed, the three of them worked together smoothly and quickly reached the exit at the foot of the mountain.
Yuan Zhao stopped behind a rock.
"Further ahead is the main gate. We need to find a way to escape. There's a dark room on the east side with two people guarding the door. Every corner of the west wall is guarded, so it's difficult to find a breakthrough point."
"But they're supposed to change people every two hours. Now we have to wait another quarter of an hour before it's time for a change."
Yuan Zhao glanced at the sky.
These days, she didn't do nothing, but kept thinking of various ways to escape.
Every day I use the excuse of looking at the scenery to digest my food, but in fact I am observing the positions of these men in black and how often they change.
She originally thought that if no one else could come to rescue her, then she would have to find a way to escape on her own.
As the night deepened and the dew got heavier, she became nervous and scared. Her palms were sweating, but the backs of her hands were cold.
Huo Yan held her hand, and Yuan Zhao's disordered heartbeat gradually calmed down when her hand was wrapped around her.
Zhizhi blinked her big eyes and habitually rested her little head on Huo Yan's broad shoulders. She yawned a little, but made no sound.
The moon was at its zenith, and Yuan Zhao could finally see the faces of the father and daughter.
Both of them were in an extremely awkward state.
Huo Yan's beard had grown, and it was obvious that he hadn't shaved for some time.
The cheeks are slightly thinner, and the cheekbones, although slightly prominent, appear more clearly defined.
Those deep eyes were still bright, and the moonlight reflected in his pupils seemed to hide a hint of quiet light.
Although the clothes were still the dark ones he usually wore, the wrinkles on the collar showed that he hadn't changed them for some time.
Zhizhi's hair had grown a lot and was messy, but her clothes were still clean and tidy.
The two of them were in such a state of embarrassment under the moonlight. Huo Yan's hands unconsciously protected Zhizhi, and his movements were very familiar.
If you count carefully, more than a month has passed since Yuan Zhao was taken away.
She didn't know how her children were doing after she disappeared.
I don’t know how hard it must have been for Huo Yan to bring Zhizhi all the way here.
She reached out and squeezed Zhizhi's little hand, then exchanged glances with Huo Yan.
Seeing her silent words, Huo Yan said, "Thank you..."
When he smiled, his face looked a little weathered, but still handsome.
He just lowered his head slightly, placed a kiss on her forehead, and silently responded to the word "thank you".
…
More than a quarter of an hour had passed, and Huo Yan was carefully observing the movements of the man in black.
He just waited for them to change people and then took Yuan Zhao and her daughter away.
As long as you leave Chaoyuan, the people outside will be able to take over.
This is the only way to ensure the safety of the mother and daughter.
But before a quarter of an hour had passed, there was a commotion at the main entrance.
Yuan Zhao was shocked. Could it be that Dota came back?
Sure enough, the next moment, the sound of a secret sentry was heard in the garden, and the Eagle Guards who were drowsy just now instantly became alert.
Huo Yan held Yuan Zhao in his arms. The three of them hid in a secluded place and had not been discovered yet.
Yuan Zhao heard the chaotic and hurried footsteps and the back-and-forth conversations in the garden.
"The King is back! Emergency order!"
"Oh no! The princess is missing! The king is furious! Find her quickly!"
"Quick, quick, quick! Seal off all exits and guard every wall!"
…
really……
Yuan Zhao glanced at Huo Yan and bit his lip.
There is no way to get out of the wall now.
"Zhao Zhao, do you know where else we can go out?" Huo Yan asked.
If there is really no other way, he can only take the mother and daughter and fight his way out.
But he is fine alone, but it is difficult to protect two people.
This is the worst option.
Yuan Zhao thought carefully, wondering if there was any loophole in the imperial garden.
She thought of a place.
She remembered that the stable was right next to the outer wall, a place that few people noticed and was considered a loophole.
"Follow me!" Yuan Zhao pulled Huo Yan, carefully avoiding the searchers and heading towards the stable.
Now the Eagle Guards are guarding the various exits, and no one has come to the stable yet.
