On the night of the sixth day, the night was as dark as ink. Led by Lin Yun, the group went out through the secret passage. However, when they were about to reach the exit, they suddenly discovered a group of people guarding the area.
Clearly, someone had discovered the secret of the villa and deliberately blocked the exit.
Lin Yun glanced at the soldiers around her; judging from their uniforms, they were Xu Ling's personal guards.
"You guys stand guard properly, watch out for anything that moves around here, don't let a single bird escape, understand?"
Since Lin Yun was discovered to be missing from the palace, the guards in Kyoto have become much tighter.
Now even the forests on the outskirts of Beijing are completely surrounded by crowds.
“We might not be able to get out right now. You wait here for me. I’ll distract them, and you can escape in the chaos.”
"No, that's too dangerous. You're still injured. I can't watch you take that risk."
Han Chunying was unwilling to let Lin Yun go out alone and held onto his arm tightly, preventing him from leaving.
"Yes, going out in this situation would be suicide. Let's think things through and observe first."
Han Yu'an also disagreed with him taking the risk, so the group rested in the secret passage.
Cui Yulu examined Lin Yun's body again and found that his wounds had almost healed in just one night, so it seemed that her medicine was effective.
"These are wound medicine and hemostatic medicine, as well as some pills to replenish strength. Also, take this water with you and tell the prince that we will definitely come to save him."
Cui Yulu handed the package to Lin Yun, then glanced at the little dumpling beside her. "It's time to let the little dumpling show its worth after all this time of training."
"You're planning to go out on your own, absolutely not...?"
Before Lin Yun could finish speaking, she felt dizzy and fainted.
"Will he be alright?"
Han Chunying looked at Lin Yun with a pained expression, her face full of worry.
"Don't worry, he'll wake up soon. The Crimson Guards will escort him back secretly. Now is the time for us to leave."
Han Chunying was still a little worried, fearing that she would never see Lin Yun again after leaving.
"Don't worry, Lin Yun will be fine, and so will the Prince. We will meet again in Kyoto."
Cui Yulu urged her to leave quickly. At this moment, Roubao had already run out and howled at the cave entrance. Soon, all the white and gray wolves around her surrounded her.
"What's going on? Why are there so many wolves?"
The soldiers were in a panic. Seeing more and more white wolves around them, they quickly huddled together and assumed a defensive posture.
However, the white wolf didn't actually attack them; it just wandered around them, occasionally biting them before jumping away.
Soon the soldiers were led away from the cave entrance, and Cui Yulu and the other two escaped from the cave together.
Suddenly, a cold arrow shot out at their feet, startling all three of them.
Could there be other experts around?
After observing for a while without any movement, the group began to move forward again, only to find a girl in red standing in front of them this time.
Cui Yulu thought the girl looked familiar, and only after she spoke did she realize that this was Xu Wanyi, whom she had met on the street a few days ago.
"What are you trying to do? Are you here to arrest us too?"
Cui Yulu had prepared the soybeans in her hand, ready to use their sedative properties to make her sleep for a while in this freezing weather.
“Young lady, you’ve misunderstood. I said that day that we were destined to meet. See if it’s true? We really are destined to meet here.”
"Is it a coincidence or did you arrange it on purpose? Why is that girl here so late at night instead of sleeping? What exactly do you want?"
Knowing that her father, Xu Ling, had betrayed the country, he had no good feelings towards the girl in front of him.
"You've misunderstood. I've been waiting for you here on purpose. I have something to say to you, so please believe me."
"Why should we believe you? You are Xu Ling's daughter. How can we trust you?"
Xu Wanyi wasn't angry. Instead, she said calmly, "Please believe me this time. My father and I are not the same kind of people. I don't approve of what my father did, but he won't listen to me. However, I really want to get you out of here. Come with me."
Seeing that the situation was not good, Cui Yulu and the other two had no choice but to follow her and walk into the depths of the forest.
“Keep going straight along this road. There’s a carriage I’ve prepared waiting for you outside. It will take you away from here. But are you really not going to save the Prince and the Emperor?”
At this moment, Cui Yulu realized that Xu Wanyi must like Fu Xiaoyu, otherwise she wouldn't have gone to such lengths to help them.
"Of course we must save them, but we must leave here now to get reinforcements. We will definitely need Miss Xu's help later."
"Do you really believe me? Can I be your friend?"
Xu Wanyi looked at them with a hopeful expression and her eyes burning with desire.
"Are you sure you want to be friends with us? Don't you want your father anymore?"
After all, they and Xu Ling are on two different teams, and in the future, it could very well be a life-or-death struggle. I really don't know how Xu Wanyi will face that then.
I really don't know what this girl was thinking.
"Don't worry, I won't betray you in the face of battle. If necessary, I will even put aside my own family for the greater good. Please believe me."
Everyone was surprised, not expecting the girl to say such a thing.
"In that case, we look forward to Miss Xu's performance. Now we'll go get reinforcements. Would you mind staying here and looking after the Sixth Prince?"
