After receiving the order from the gods, the men in black immediately started chasing and killing.
Zhang Qu quietly wove the team of black-clad men filled with murderous aura into an invisible net, gradually approaching the prey.
Su Huaiyue and Wei Che were like two agile deer in the silent and mysterious jungle, their nerves tense.
The towering trees block out the sun, and the leaves rustle slightly in the wind, like the heavy whispers of nature, concealing uneasiness.
Su Huaiyue looked back from time to time, her black hair fluttering with her movements, and her face was full of seriousness and caution.
Deep in her eyes, there was a hidden fear that made her heart beat like a drum and her palms sweat.
Wei Che walked cautiously in front, one hand tightly gripping the hilt of the sword, the blue veins protruding on the back of his strong hand, like a winding river between the mountains.
His face was full of determination, his brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes scanned the surroundings with lightning vigilance, as if he was ready to face the coming storm at any time.
As the pride of the Wei family, every step he took was steady and powerful, yet also carried with him an invisible tension and urgency.
"We have to find a way to shake off the pursuers."
He warned quietly, his voice calm but with a hint of anxiety.
Su Huaiyue gritted her teeth. Given their current situation, it would be difficult to find a suitable hiding place.
At this critical moment, a sharp sound of breaking through the air suddenly passed through the air.
Wei Che almost instinctively pushed Su Huaiyue away with a clean and neat movement. The two of them quickly rolled into the depths of the dense forest, and the grass and trees scraped against the corners of their clothes.
The sharp arrow grazed Wei Che's arm, leaving a glaring blood mark, and bright red blood instantly flowed out of the wound.
“Who’s there!”
Wei Che drew his sword with his backhand, and the sound was like a sharp blade cutting through the air.
A figure walked out from the dense forest with a ferocious expression. It was Zhang Qu.
He said coldly: "I didn't expect to meet you here. It saved me a lot of trouble."
"Zhang Qu!"
Su Huaiyue was shocked. She didn't expect them to catch up so quickly.
She quickly grasped the dagger in her hand, her eyes determined.
"Today, none of you will leave alive."
Zhang Qu licked his lips, a fierce look in his eyes.
Wei Che and Su Huaiyue looked at each other quickly and reached a consensus secretly.
Su Huaiyue used her agility to attract Zhang Qu's attention, while Wei Che took the opportunity to go behind Zhang Qu and slashed him with her sword like a startled wild goose.
Zhang Qu obviously underestimated the cooperation of the two. Before he could react, Wei Che's sword cut his throat and blood spurted out.
"We can't stay here long."
Su Huaiyue was panting, her heart beating like a drum, but the joy of victory did not reduce her vigilance.
She knew that this was just a small setback in their escape journey, and there were greater crises waiting for them ahead.
Suddenly, there was a sound of wind, and Uncle Ping, who had been following them, appeared at the edge of a dense bush.
His eyes were full of solemnity: "They will soon discover the situation here. I will take you to a safe place."
Su Huaiyue and Wei Che looked at each other, and a glimmer of hope ignited in their eyes.
Uncle Ping was a trustworthy elder in the Wei family. If he said there was a place to hide, they should believe him.
However, just as they were about to leave with Uncle Ping, the black-clad messenger sent by the Heavenly God Organization was approaching.
Uncle Ping hurriedly urged: "Hurry up, I'll take care of this!"
Wei Che and Su Huaiyue were reluctant to leave, but they didn't dare to waste time.
Following Uncle Ping's instructions, they quickly passed through the dense forest, and heard Uncle Ping's last cry.
Su Huaiyue felt an indescribable soreness in her eyes. She knew very well that Uncle Ping might be in great danger.
But he couldn't stop at this moment, so he could only escape with Uncle Ping's desire for freedom.
Su Huaiyue and Wei Che crawled silently in the depths of the dense forest. Occasionally, through the gaps between the leaves, they could see the figures of the messengers of the Heavenly God Organization searching for them.
Although he was filled with worry, he could only cover his mouth and nose tightly, holding back every breath that might reveal their whereabouts.
They knew that Uncle Ping was using his life to buy time, and they could only escape as quickly as possible to live up to Uncle Ping's sacrifice.
Just as the two were waiting for the wind to die down, there was a faint commotion in the forest.
As the footsteps approached, they heard a terrifying command: "Everyone, take the poison made by Su Huaiyue!"
This is an instruction from the gods.
Su Huaiyue's heart suddenly tightened, but then she felt relieved, because the poison had no effect at all.
As expected, someone in the forest began to murmur, "That woman is really a nuisance!"
"She is so heartless and cruel. She caused us so much trouble."
The angry and panicked voices spread like poison in the air, almost suffocating Su Huaiyue.
But then they also heard a familiar voice defending her.
"That's impossible! My sister-in-law is definitely not that kind of person!"
This was Wei Yunrou's passionate rebuttal.
"Yes, mother won't harm us for no reason."
Wei Zhi's childish but firm voice also joined in.
Madam Wei then spoke in her characteristically dignified tone, "Yes, Huaiyue is a man of great righteousness. Everyone should calm down and not fall for the evildoers' schemes to sow discord."
These words were like a warm current, gradually melting the ice in Su Huaiyue's heart.
She whispered softly to Wei Che: "We have to find an opportunity to clarify the truth."
Wei Che nodded slightly, but he was still alert in his heart.
The crisis is far from over, and they must find a breakthrough, not only to survive, but also to protect the justice they know and the bonds of family affection.
For a moment, the sound of the wind died down, and a sense of tranquility returned to the forest.
Soon, everyone who took the medicine was taken away.
In the dark night, Su Huaiyue and Wei Che were still holding their breath nervously under the shade of the tree.
Time seemed to stand still, and the only sound I could hear was the violent beating of my heart.
Wei Che's hand moved slightly, and he took out a map and looked at it carefully in the faint moonlight, looking up from time to time to see the surrounding terrain.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps in the distance gradually approached. The two held their breath, ready to escape at any time.
Suddenly, a figure flashed out from the woods. It was Nai Qiu.
She whispered quickly, "Hurry, follow me, I found a way."
Su Huaiyue and Wei Che looked at each other, and without saying a word, followed Nai Qiu's footsteps into the woods.
After a while, they came to an inconspicuous cave.
Nai Qiu gently lifted the hidden wooden board and motioned them to enter the secret passage.
The air was filled with the smell of dampness and decay, and the narrow passage forced them to bend over as they moved forward.
Su Huaiyue still had doubts in her heart, but the situation was so critical that she had no choice.
Finally, the three of them walked out of the secret passage, and the view in front of them suddenly became clear: it was a corner of the underground of the castle.
The place is full of debris and some people are forced to hide here, their faces full of fatigue and worry.
Nai Qiu lowered his voice and ordered, "We must quickly find a way to move these people. We can't stay here any longer."
