The carriage sped away into the night.
However, everything the coachman predicted came true. The disciples patrolling the dungeon soon discovered that the prisoner was missing and immediately reported it to the captain of the guards.
The captain of the guards immediately led his men to chase after them and surrounded the carriage halfway.
The driver tightened his grip on the reins and said, "Your Highness, I will rush out and knock them away with my carriage. You... remember what I just said."
The carriage rushed towards the guards of the City Lord's Mansion with a fatal force.
Several guards were knocked down, and the coachman took the opportunity to stop suddenly, and the strong inertia swung the carriage violently.
Yuwen Xi's internal strength had recovered halfway, and he immediately used this strength to jump out of the carriage with Yuwen Huai.
The two rolled down the hillside and into a muddy ditch.
There was a sound of fighting not far away, and it turned out that the driver was trying his best to hold them back.
Yuwen Xi carried Yuwen Huai on his back and ran into the night, dragging his injured leg.
Yuwen Huai was awakened by the fall, and he lay on her back and said weakly: "You are shaking me so hard...put me down."
Yuwen Xi ignored him.
Yuwen Huai continued, "If you want to escape, escape by yourself... I'm too lazy to go with you..."
Yu Wenxi said calmly: "Since you are too lazy to go with me, what were you doing earlier?"
If you don't meddle in other people's business, you won't be arrested.
Yuwen Huai said weakly: "I suspected that you were colluding with Xiahou Zheng... I wanted to catch you in the act..."
Yuwenxi ignored him again.
Yuwen Huai: "After fighting for so many years... you still don't understand me? You were imprisoned... I asked Zhuge Qing to do it... If I were you... I would use Xiahou Zheng to get rid of the strongest opponent..."
Yu Wenxi said coldly: "If you die, everyone will think that I killed you, and I don't want to bear the blame!"
Yuwen Huai suddenly opened his mouth and bit her shoulder.
Yuwen Xi was furious: "Yuwen Huai, you are a dog!"
Yuwen Huai said vindictively: "When I was a child, I carried you on my back... and you bit me like this... Now I'm giving it back to you..."
Yu Wenxi wanted to scold him again, but suddenly she felt his body was burning hot.
This is burnt mess.
No wonder.
Yuwen Xi no longer bothered with him, and focused all her attention on carrying him on her back and escaping eastward at all costs.
Finally, the two entered the territory of Baihua Palace.
A team of disciples patrolling the mountain stopped them.
The leading young disciple asked, "Who is coming?"
Although this is the territory of Baihua Palace, islanders and hunters may occasionally pass by. As long as they don't go towards the mountain of Baihua Palace, the disciples will not kill them.
Yu Wenxi looked at their uniform clothing and the righteous aura they exuded, so she asked tentatively, "Are you from Baihua Palace?"
The young disciple said, "That's right."
Yuwenxi said: "I am Yuwenxi, your young palace master asked me to come." - "What? Your Highness is here?"
Mo Xie was at Ling Yun's side, and neither of them slept.
The two exchanged glances.
Ling Yun said to the disciple who came to report: "Got it, lead the way."
The young disciple who was patrolling the mountain took the two to the place where Yuwen Xi and Yuwen Huai were found.
The brother and sister sat on a rock. Yuwen Huai was dizzy from the fever and rested his head on Yuwen Xi's legs.
Yuwen Xi looked disheveled, but his noble demeanor remained unchanged.
She calmly and serenely placed her hand on Yuwen Huai's forehead and stared into the distance.
At this moment, without the constraints of their identities and the fight for the throne, they were just like ordinary brothers and sisters, trusting and caring for each other.
“Your Highness!”
Moye excitedly came to Yuwenxi, knelt on one knee and saluted.
Yuwenxi felt tired and calm after surviving a disaster: "Moye."
Several disciples patrolling the mountain bowed to Ling Yun and said, "Young Palace Master."
Ling Yun nodded.
Yu Wenxi came here following her reputation, took a closer look, and said in surprise: "Master Lingqin? You are the young master of Baihua Palace? What's going on? You were asked by someone... Mo Xie asked you to save us tonight?"
Moye and Lingyun had been in contact since the Western Jin Dynasty. Yuwen Xi only thought that they had similar interests, one loved playing the zither and the other loved playing the erhu, and never suspected that they had a deeper relationship.
Ling Yun said: "I am the young master of Baihua Palace. Mo Xie was once a disciple of Baihua Palace. He did ask me to save you, but I did not succeed during the day."
Yu Wenxi frowned.
Mo Xie was shocked: "Your Highness, didn't you escape by yourselves tonight?"
Yu Wenxi shook her head and said, "No, someone helped us escape. They said it was the Young Palace Master of the Hundred Flowers Palace who arranged it."
Ling Yun said calmly: "I didn't arrange anything."
Mo Xie's ears moved: "The sound of horse hooves!"
Soon, a disciple from the Baihua Palace who was patrolling the mountain came running over from the bottom of the mountain: "Young Palace Master, someone is coming from the City Lord's Mansion!"
Yuwen Xi made a prompt decision and helped Yuwen Huai up: "Is there any other way down the mountain?"
Mo Xie said to Ling Yun: "I will escort His Highness away!"
He is no longer a member of Baihua Palace. He troubled Ling Yun only when Ling Yun could protect himself, but now it is obvious that they are being plotted against.
If Ling Yun continues to harbor them, he might get into trouble.
Ling Yun said: "Although you have left the island, you have been sending news about me to my mother over the past few years, so you can't be considered to have completely left Baihua Palace. You take the two princes to find my mother first, and I will hold them back."
Moye looked at Lingyun with emotion, put Yuwen Huai on her back, and took Yuwen Xi up the mountain.
"Mo Xie, you..."
"I'm sorry, Your Highness. I concealed my origins. When I left Baihua Palace, I swore that I would never mention Baihua Palace to anyone, and I would never do anything to betray Baihua Palace."
Yuwenxi suddenly realized: "I was wondering, you are not from a famous sect in the martial arts world, how come your martial arts are so powerful? You can even beat the death warriors in the mansion."
Mo Xie said ashamedly: "My skills are not that high in Baihua Palace. The Palace Master and several elders are the real peerless masters..."
The guards from the City Lord's Mansion came very quickly. They arrived almost as soon as the three of them left.
The leader is Xiahou Zheng.
He was riding a tall horse, wearing a black cloak, handsome and upright, like a king.
There were more than a hundred guards from the City Lord's Mansion behind him, which showed that he came prepared.
Ling Yun said indifferently: "It's only been two months, is there anyone who wants to attack Baihua Palace in the middle of the night again?"
Xiahou Zheng smiled faintly and took out a token from his bosom: "Here is the city lord's token. Seeing the token is like seeing the city lord."
Ling Yun didn't move.
Xiahou Zheng laughed and said, "Brother, this is not polite, right?"
Ling Yun said nonchalantly: "Are you blind or blind in heart? Don't you know that this is how I usually look when I meet the city lord?"
Xiahou Zheng's smile froze and he tightened the reins in his hands.
Ling Yun continued to stab him: "Also, don't call me brother, you don't deserve it."
