Chapter 424 The Prince Doesn’t Want to Live
Hu Xin'er hugged Mu Qing's clothes tightly in her hands and said tentatively, "You don't have to worry about me. It doesn't matter what happens to me."
She felt she could handle it.
Jiang Yao pursed her lips and said, "Then I'll let Yiqing hold my sister. This way she'll be warmer and safer."
Taoist Master Yiqing opened his eyes slightly and said, "Men and women shouldn't touch each other. How about letting Yun Jue come?"
Jiang Yao frowned, "She's my biological sister, what's the big deal? You're such a fool. You weren't smart when you should have been, and now you're being clever."
While cursing, she handed Mother Lu to Lu Yunjue.
Mother Lu was born into a wealthy family and was a widow at this time. If she were awake, she would definitely not want to have any close contact with a man outside of her family.
It wasn't that Taoist Yiqing was overthinking it, it was that Jiang Yao was overwhelmed by the tension and no longer as calm and smart as before.
She took a deep breath and let the cold wind wash over her body.
Mu Qing hugged Hu Xiner tightly, looking a little distressed.
Hu Xiner patted his hand to comfort him.
The sound of horse whips rang out crisply, and everyone continued on their journey.
However, after running a few steps, everyone heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind them, and their faces changed drastically.
The prince's men actually chased after us!
"There's a fork in the road outside Shilipo. If the pursuers don't arrive by then, we can make some fake marks there to confuse them!" Jiang Yao spoke quickly.
Lu Yunjue grew up in the capital, so he naturally knew the ways around it.
He then said, "If the pursuers arrive at that time, I can lead them away with Yin Li!"
"Hey, if you want to die, fine. Why do you drag me into this?" Yin Li was very dissatisfied.
He can take the initiative to divert the pursuers, but others cannot order him!
"Okay! Then you won't go." Mu Qing didn't want to owe him a favor, so he said in a deep voice, "Yun Jue, I'll go with you."
"No!" Everyone objected in unison.
Even Yin Li had to admit that without Mu Qing, what would happen to Hu Xiner?
That girl was a very worried person. If she had to watch her husband lead the pursuers away, she would be extremely anxious. Then, wouldn't the Jade Dew Pills he gave her be wasted on such a trivial matter?
Alas, Yin Li sighed bleakly in the cold wind: "It is better for me to go."
Mu Qing said seriously, "Don't worry. I'm as skilled as Yun Jue. Although I don't have your miraculous immortality ability, I will definitely be able to return safely."
Yin Li snorted softly, "That sounds nice, but how could your wife bear to let you lead the pursuers away?"
He felt that Mu Qing was just trying to win Hu Xiner's favor in this way and did not really want to take the risk.
A real man should be upright and honest. How could he let his wife frequently fall into danger and even kneel down to beg others for help?
So in his heart, Mu Qing is just a gigolo!
Mu Qing insisted, "You have already made a lot of sacrifices for our Lu family. I believe she will support my decision. Of course, she must be left in the care of the Taoist priest."
The implication was that Yin Lixiu wanted to take advantage of Hu Xiner while he was away.
Seeing that he had even thought of this, Yin Li looked back with half belief and half doubt.
It would have been fine if she hadn't turned around. When she turned around, she saw Hu Xin'er looking at Mu Qing tenderly: "I'll listen to you."
"Damn!" Yin Li cursed, feeling extremely bitter in his heart, but also a little envious and enlightened, and his opinion of Mu Qing also changed a little.
Although Mu Qing is not as good-looking as him and his temper is not as good as his, he still has some good points.
He thought proudly that Hu Xin'er didn't like him, which meant she was blind, but in the end she ran into Mu Qing, which meant she wasn't completely blind.
The pursuers whipped their horses almost desperately. Although Mu Qing and others were also trying their best to hurry on, they were ultimately no match for the speed of the pursuers.
Several men in black flew out, trying to stop them from moving forward, and several hidden weapons were thrown at them from time to time. Even though everyone was extremely alert and careful, their speed inevitably slowed down and they were caught up by them.
In the critical situation, Lu Yunjue, Yin Li and Taoist Yiqing stopped the pursuers from behind and protected several female relatives.
Although Hu Xiner couldn't help much, she couldn't help but worry. Looking back, she found that the group of people were wearing masks and were extremely ruthless.
By the time they arrived at the fork in the road at Shilipo, one of Taoist Yiqing's arms was already covered in blood.
Lu Yunjue tried to hide among the masked men, but his mask was knocked off instead. His ugly face looked extremely terrifying even in the night.
Ever since he had his face changed, no matter how much he comforted himself, he could not accept his appearance. His first reaction was to pick up the mask with trembling hands, but the pursuer took advantage of this opportunity and swung his sword at him.
If he were hit by this blow, his head would be torn apart.
Yin Li yelled, "What are you doing stupid?"
He protected Lu Yunjue behind him, but his arm was accidentally cut by the enemy's sword.
To make matters worse, two men in black managed to break through the defense and rushed towards Mu Qing.
Mu Qing subconsciously protected Hu Xiner, but unexpectedly the man in black swung his sword directly at the horse's leg. The horse's leg immediately started bleeding and it began to struggle wildly.
As soon as Mu Qing and Hu Xiner dismounted from their horses, the second sword came stabbing at them.
But when he finally dealt with the man in black, Jiang Yao was almost unable to protect Lu's mother, and the situation was precarious.
Mu Qing raised his sword and chopped off the man's head while he was off guard. Then he shouted, "Split into two groups and run!"
There is a fork in the road ahead!
But at this moment, a familiar laugh suddenly rang out from the fork in the road, and several people slowly walked out from the bushes on the side of the road.
The prince didn't care about escaping, but lay in ambush in the bushes waiting for them.
This is bad. Originally, a few people could deal with the group of men in black, but if the prince and the two guards around him are added, I am afraid they will not be able to protect Hu Xiner and Lu's mother.
Seeing their shocked expressions, the prince felt extremely pleased. The memory of being driven out of the capital like a loser just now came to his mind again, and he could no longer suppress his urge to take revenge on the Lu family.
The thing he regretted most was that when he was the crown prince, he cared about his own face and did not use the most bloody means to eradicate the Lu family!
"Where are you going?" He smiled, but his eyes were cold. "Do you need me to give you a ride?"
Seeing this, Yin Li and others fought more fiercely with the pursuers. Only by getting rid of these pursuers quickly could they help Mu Qing and others!
Mu Qing and the others stopped and looked at the Crown Prince warily: "Why are you here? Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by His Majesty's men?"
The prince didn't give them any chance to delay: "Do it!"
