As soon as Su Xuening and her companions' carriage sped out of the valley, they heard the frantic sound of horses' hooves behind them.
Pei Luo turned around and saw Xuan Yuan Yu leading a large number of Imperial Guards in pursuit.
Su Xuening and Bai Shi also lifted the carriage curtain and glanced back.
Seeing Xuan Yuan Yu chasing after her, Su Xue Ning's heart sank: "It's Xuan Yuan Yu!"
Xuanyuan Yu was truly outside her plans; she had underestimated him.
According to her original plan, Xuan Yuan Yu was the one trapped in the bamboo forest. The time it takes for an incense stick to burn would be enough for Xuan Yuan Yu to find them, but Xuan Yuan Zhi suddenly appeared out of nowhere.
Xuan Yuanzhi found her earlier than Xuan Yuanyu. Xuan Yuanzhi brought her out, and now it is Xuan Yuanzhi who is trapped in the bamboo forest.
Therefore, Xuanyuan Yu was overlooked by her.
Xuanyuan Yu must have gone to the Cold Palace as well, and when he found she wasn't there, he brought the Imperial Guards to chase after her.
"You go first, I'll stay behind to cover your retreat!" Pei Luo immediately turned his horse around, intending to intercept Xuan Yuan Yu and the Imperial Guards with his own body.
"Master!"
Seeing Pei Luo go alone to stop Xuan Yuan Yu and the Imperial Guards, Su Xue Ning was extremely anxious.
Her master died at the hands of the Imperial Guards in her previous life, and she was really afraid that she would kill her master again!
Su Xuening hurriedly lifted the carriage curtain and said to You Yi, "Uncle-Master, hurry and help Master!"
“Okay!” Youyi was naturally willing to help, but he glanced at Daoyi and was reluctant to let Daoyi drive the carriage.
Dao Yi knew he wasn't capable of driving, so he offered, "I'll go help Doctor Luo."
Dao Yi jumped off the carriage and went to accompany Pei Luo.
Su Yun'an climbed out of the carriage and sat in the driver's seat: "Uncle-Master, I'll drive the carriage. Uncle-Master, go help Master."
"Okay." You Yi immediately handed the reins to Su Yun'an, then said to Su Yun'an worriedly, "You two find a safe place to hide first, and we'll meet up and leave together!"
Even though Yun An could drive a carriage, they weren't comfortable letting the three of them travel alone with just the two women and the child in the carriage.
“Okay,” Su Yun’an replied immediately.
Youyi jumped off the carriage, and Su Xuening lifted the curtain and said, "Uncle-Master, let's go back to the bamboo forest and wait for you. You can shake off the Imperial Guards and go to the bamboo forest to meet us?"
"Back to the bamboo forest?" You Yi was startled. "This valley is full of Imperial Guards now. How are you going to get back?"
Su Xuening thought of the passage in the back mountain: "We can go around through the back mountain. The bamboo forest has a formation, which is safer than outside. Moreover, they saw us leaving the valley, so they will never expect us to come back to the valley."
Su Xuening's words made You Yi give her a thumbs up: "You're so smart. Then you guys be careful."
Su Xuening looked at Youyi with concern: "Masters and uncles, please be careful. If you are outmatched, your own safety is the most important thing!"
With the martial arts skills of my two masters and my uncle, even if they couldn't defeat so many Imperial Guards, escaping should still be easy.
Hearing Su Xuening's concern, Youyi felt a warmth in her heart: "Don't worry, we'll be fine, you should go now!"
After Youyi finished speaking, he went with Pei Luo.
Su Yun'an drove the carriage and asked Su Xuening, "Sister, are we really going back to the bamboo forest?"
They had finally managed to get out; they had already spent two days in the carriage, hoping to leave the valley at any time.
Su Xuening said firmly, "If we go back around the back mountain, they will never expect us to come back. Besides, there is a formation in the bamboo forest, so ordinary people can't enter it at all. It will also make it easier for Master and Uncle to meet up with us!"
Otherwise, if they run off like this, not only will they not know what dangers they might encounter, but their master and uncles might not be able to find them even if they wanted to reunite with them.
If the three of them get separated from their master and uncles, they won't be able to go to Xiliang, let alone the North. They will be unable to move an inch!
"Okay." Su Yun'an obediently drove the carriage out of the valley and then circled around the back mountain.
Seeing Su Xuening's worry, Bai patted her hand and said, "Uncle and Doctor Luo are highly skilled in martial arts, they will be fine."
"Hmm," Su Xuening responded softly, but she still couldn't stop worrying.
The mother didn't understand why she was so worried about her master's safety, because in her previous life, her master had died at the hands of the Imperial Guards. She hoped that in this life, with the help of her uncle and Master Daoyi, her master could get rid of those Imperial Guards.
The carriage circled around to the back of the mountain and then returned to the bamboo forest through the passage on the back of the mountain.
There was no formation on the path behind the mountain originally, but after Long Jiaojiao escaped through this passage last time, Pei Luo set up a formation on the back mountain. Now it seems that the formation is still very necessary, increasing the safety of the bamboo forest.
After returning to the bamboo house, the three of them got off the carriage, but they were still very worried about Pei Luo and the others outside.
Outside in the valley, Pei Luo and his two companions had already started fighting with Xuan Yuan Yu and his group.
Xuanyuan Yu knew Pei Luo and originally didn't want to get entangled with them. He only wanted to lead his men to chase after Su Xuening. He had just seen Su Xuening's carriage leave the valley.
Pei Luo, You Yi, and Dao Yi were like three mountains, blocking the path of all the Imperial Guards and preventing them from chasing the carriage. He could only watch helplessly as the carriage drove away.
Xuan Yuan Yu glared angrily at Pei Luo: "I'm warning you again, get out of my way, or hand over Su Xue Ning, or I'll have you all die here!"
Pei Luo completely ignored Xuan Yuan Yu and swung a palm at him.
Startled, Xuanyuan Yu immediately pulled over a member of the Imperial Guard to block him.
With a deafening roar, the Imperial Guards were blasted to pieces!
The Imperial Guards were stunned by what they saw.
Even Xuanyuan Yu didn't expect Pei Luo to be so skilled in martial arts, able to tear a person to pieces with a single palm strike!
At the same time, he was also a little scared. If that palm had hit him, he would be the one who would be shattered now!
Is this person Su Xuening's master?
Su Xuening's master is so skilled in martial arts, does that mean Su Xuening also has martial arts skills?
How many secrets does Su Xuening have that he doesn't know about?
Pei Luo and You Yi blocked Xuan Yuan Yu in the valley, and these Imperial Guards were naturally no match for Pei Luo and his men.
However, there were simply too many of them; it would take them a long time to kill them one by one.
Youyi calculated that it was about time, so she grabbed Pei Luo and tried to run away.
Pei Luo was unwilling to leave; he wanted to stall for time and let Su Xuening and the others run further away.
Youyi had no choice but to whisper in his ear, "The girl has returned to the bamboo forest."
Pei Luo stared at You Yi in shock, but before he could finish his shock, You Yi pulled him away.
Youyi held one in each hand, having to keep up with Pei Luo while also being afraid of losing Dao Yi.
Seeing that they were about to run away, Xuanyuan Yu immediately led the Imperial Guards to give chase.
"Chirp!" Just as they were about to run out of the valley, they suddenly heard a clear phoenix cry.
Everyone couldn't help but look up, and saw a huge fire phoenix crashing down into the valley like a fireball.
