Su Xuening walked through the small bamboo grove and saw Pei Luo and You Yi who had come to meet her.
"Master, Uncle-Master!"
Seeing Pei Luo and You Yi, Su Xuening finally breathed a sigh of relief. She knew that her master and uncle would definitely come to save her.
"Girl!" Upon seeing that Su Xuening was wearing shackles, Pei Luo immediately smashed them.
Su Xuening also regained her freedom.
"Let's go. Your mother and Yun'an are in the carriage ahead, waiting to rescue you. We'll leave here together."
Pei Luo pulled Su Xuening along and headed forward.
Youyi walked behind the two, covering their rear.
Xuanyuan Zhi and the others were trapped in a small bamboo forest. They frantically cut down the bamboo, but the bamboo seemed to be made of steel and could not be cut down no matter how hard they tried!
Whenever they tried to leave the small bamboo forest, the bamboo would frantically shift and block their way. It was a small bamboo forest, but it was like a mysterious palace, leaving them helpless!
Xuan Yuanzhi then realized that he had been tricked by Su Xuening!
He thought that as long as he prevented someone from rescuing Su Xuening or prevented her from escaping, he would be fine. He never expected that Su Xuening would be so resourceful.
There's something fishy about this bamboo forest. If he's not mistaken, there must be some kind of formation set up inside, which is why they can't get out!
Damn it! I've been tricked by that woman Su Xuening!
There might not be any military tally at all, or perhaps there is, but she didn't hide it in this desolate place!
Just as Xuan Yuanzhi was so angry he wanted to kill someone, Su Xuening met with Bai Shi and Su Yun'an.
Since this valley has been exposed, the bamboo forest is definitely not a place to stay.
The group discussed that after rescuing Su Xuening, they should run away immediately to avoid being caught by Xuan Yuan Yu and the others!
Therefore, Pei Luo, You Yi, and Dao Yi split into two groups. Pei Luo and You Yi ambushed in the valley, waiting to rescue Su Xuening, while Dao Yi guarded Bai Shi and Su Yun'an in the carriage outside the valley.
As for Granny Shang, Bihe, Lülian, and the others, they were sent to a safe place in advance.
Since they weren't the primary targets, Xuan Yuan Yu and the others wouldn't specifically seek them out, so once they left this place, the rest of the world would be safe.
They planned to go to the north to meet up with Xuanyuan Zhan, so they had to travel a long way. The more people they brought, the harder it would be to travel. Therefore, they had no choice but to leave behind Granny Shang and the others, leaving only a few of them.
Seeing Su Xuening rescued by Pei Luo and You Yi, Madam Bai almost cried tears of joy: "Ning'er."
"Sister!" Su Yun'an jumped down from the carriage happily and hugged Su Xuening.
"I'm fine." Su Xuening hugged Su Yun'an and rubbed his head, then looked up at Bai Shi to indicate that she was alright.
"It's good that you're alright!" Seeing Su Xuening return safely, Bai Shi finally felt relieved.
During the days Su Xuening was detained, she didn't close her eyes, constantly worrying about Su Xuening's safety.
"Let's get in the car first and talk about it later!"
Pei Luo and Su Yun'an helped Su Xuening into the carriage, and Su Yun'an also got into the carriage.
"Let's get out of here first. That little bamboo grove can only hold those people for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn!"
Pei Luo then mounted his horse, while You Yi boarded the carriage and sat down next to Dao Yi to drive for him.
There was no other way; Dao Yi was utterly hopeless with directions. If he were to drive the carriage, and then accidentally drive it back, wouldn't that be walking right into a trap?
Several people rode horses and drove carriages, galloping wildly northward.
Inside the carriage, Madam Bai held Su Xuening's hand and carefully examined her injuries: "I heard from your master that they confined you to the Cold Palace. They didn't make things difficult for you, did they?"
Su Yun'an also looked at Su Xuening nervously, afraid that she had suffered some injustice.
Su Xuening shook her head: "No, Xuan Yuan Yu sent me to the Cold Palace on the first day and said some inexplicable things, which I immediately retorted. That night, my master went to the palace to rescue me, but Xuan Yuan Yu sent people to ambush outside the Cold Palace. I was afraid that my master would be in danger, so I used the real military token of the Su family army to deceive him. Sure enough, Xuan Yuan Yu let my master go for the military token."
“I made an agreement with my master to rescue me in the western suburbs valley, but I didn’t expect that after two days, Xuan Yuan Yu would not come to the Cold Palace again. Instead, Xuan Yuan Zhi came first. He also wanted the military seal of the Su family army, so I used a trick to get Xuan Yuan Zhi to take me to the western suburbs valley to find the military seal. It just so happened that my master set up an array in the valley, and Xuan Yuan Zhi and his men should still be trapped in the array.”
After hearing these things, Bai admired Su Xuening's calmness and intelligence.
Fortunately, this girl is clever. If she hadn't come up with such a brilliant idea, she would probably still be trapped in the cold palace!
“We discussed it and decided to go to the North to meet up with Zhan’er, so that the whole family can be together and we won’t have to worry about each other.”
"Going to the North?" Hearing that they were going to the North, Su Xuening frowned with worry: "Xuanyuan Yu and Xuanyuan Zhi must know that we are going to the North. I'm afraid we will be hunted down the whole way!"
If she were a normal person, it wouldn't matter, but she was six months pregnant and could give birth at any time. It would take at least a month to travel from here to the north by carriage. Even if she could survive that month, the baby in her belly wouldn't last a month either.
She's almost nine months pregnant and will probably give birth in about two weeks. If she gives birth halfway through her pregnancy, forget about postpartum care; she might even be caught up in the two days leading up to delivery.
It's definitely not a good idea for so many people to go to the North openly.
Looking at Su Xuening's large belly, Madam Bai finally realized that she had made a mistake. She frowned and said, "Mother Consort, you've misunderstood. Where do you think we should go? Let's go in a different direction!"
She was so focused on missing Zhan'er that she forgot Ning'er was about to give birth.
Once Ning'er gives birth, they will definitely be delayed on the road for a few days. If those people don't know where they are going, they can hide for a couple of days. But once those people know that they are going north, they will definitely be caught up.
The North is definitely not the best place to go, and you should absolutely not go there!
Su Xuening glanced at Su Yun'an and suddenly said, "West!"
Without even asking why, Bai immediately told You Yi, who was driving outside, "Don't go north, go west!"
Youyi and Daoyi had both overheard their conversation.
Youyi immediately turned his horse around and headed west!
Seeing that they had changed direction, Pei Luo immediately caught up: "What's wrong?"
Youyi replied, "They said they're not going north, they're going west!"
Pei Luo didn't ask any questions and followed them westward.
Su Xuening's decision to head west was actually driven by ulterior motives.
In any case, they couldn't go north, and of the three directions of southeast and west, she wanted to go west. Because her mother was in Xiliang, if all else failed, they could go and seek refuge with her mother.
Although it's still uncertain whether their mother is in the capital of Xiliang, they should be able to find her once they get there!
