Lin Yiran was slightly stunned, glanced at the corpses on the ground, and roughly guessed what Xiao Yunzhan was going to do.
She nodded, "Okay, hurry up."
After saying that, she turned around and carried Old Madam Xiao on her back, then picked up Xiao Linghui and held her in her arms, then strode forward.
Old Madam Xiao's body stiffened slightly, and she opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw Lin Yiran's brisk pace, she closed her mouth again.
She ran down but couldn't walk as fast as Lin Yiran.
When it comes to escaping, it's better not to waste time on polite words.
The sisters-in-law were stunned for a moment, then hurriedly trotted closely behind Lin Yiran.
The second sister-in-law passed by the official and picked up two swords.
Seeing this, Xiao Lingyan also picked up two swords and held them in her hands.
Although she was young, she knew that she would be hunted down by the court if she killed the official.
With weapons, she can help in future fights.
The eldest sister-in-law and the third sister-in-law saw the swords in the hands of the two men and wanted to turn back to pick up the swords, but were stopped by the second sister-in-law.
"Hurry up and go, these few are enough..."
These two people seemed a little dizzy when they walked, and they were holding weapons, which would be a burden.
She could still hold on, and it would be enough to take two swords, and her daughter also took two.
Seeing her daughter trying so hard to hold on, she felt very uncomfortable...
........
After Xiao Yunzhan watched Lin Yiran take everyone away, he took out his sword and ignored the threats and pleas for mercy from the officers, and simply slashed their throats with one sword.
Being kind to the enemy is being cruel to oneself. After fighting for so many years, he would not be so compassionate at this time.
These escorting officers have many lives on their hands, so letting them die so quickly is already a bargain for them.
From now on, any officials sent by the imperial court to hunt down his family will be his enemies, and they must be killed without leaving any trace of harm.
Before leaving, Xiao Yunzhan stabbed Meng Zhuang, who had fallen down early in the morning, in the neck.
No one can be left alive.
Meng Zhuang, who was still breathing, had his neck twisted and was completely dead.
Then Xiao Yunzhan dragged all the officials and threw them into the ditches on both sides of the road.
The one-meter-deep ditch had long dried up, and both sides of the ditch were full of withered weeds.
If you don't look into the ditch specifically after throwing the body in, you won't even know there's a body there.
The bloody chains on the road were also thrown into the ditch by Xiao Yunzhan.
If the court had discovered the bodies later, the family would have had more time to escape.
The Niu family looked at Xiao Yunzhan with a murderous and ruthless look, and several concubines fainted from fright.
Madam Niu knelt down and kowtowed, "Please spare my life..."
The concubines also followed suit and begged for mercy, fearing that Xiao Yunzhan would kill them to silence them.
Mrs. Niu hid among the concubines, not daring to breathe, and followed the concubines in kowtowing and begging for mercy.
She didn't harm the Xiao family. She just reported the situation. It's not a crime punishable by death...
After Xiao Yunzhan dealt with the corpse and the bloodstains on the ground, he looked at the Niu family with a cold face.
"There are many villages nearby, run for your lives..."
The dignity of an exiled woman is gone the moment she is exiled.
The officials would not let these women go, and would even make money from them and torture them in various ways.
This is also the reason why he hated Emperor Wu of Liang so much.
Knowing that the Xiao family consisted entirely of women and children, Emperor Wu of Liang still wanted to humiliate the Xiao family in this way, making it clear that he did not want anyone in the Xiao family to survive.
Xiao Yunzhan turned his head and looked towards the capital, his eyes full of murderous intent.
When I turned around again, the woman from the Niu family was already stumbling around.
Not stupid, he knew to take the small road instead of the official road.
Xiao Yunzhan tiptoed and sped up to chase after his family.
........
Lin Yiran heard some slight footsteps and looked back vigilantly.
Seeing that it was Xiao Yunzhan, she breathed a sigh of relief.
Xiao Yunzhan didn't expect that Lin Yiran could actually notice him following her, and a hint of surprise flashed across his face.
Although his martial arts skills are not the best in the country, he has never met an opponent in the capital.
The martial arts skills of the imperial guard Zhao Cheng are also top-notch. Even if he follows behind Zhao Cheng, Zhao Cheng may not be able to detect him from such a distance.
"Fourth brother!"
When the second sister-in-law saw Lin Yiran stop, she turned around and saw Xiao Yunzhan, and shouted in surprise,
"Have you recovered?"
She couldn't believe that her fourth brother, who was almost dead that night, was now alive and kicking.
She was already shocked that Xiao Yunzhan was able to wake up a few days ago.
I didn’t expect that my martial arts skills have been restored now.
Xiao Yunzhan looked at his second sister-in-law and nodded his chin lightly, "I'm almost well. I'm sorry for making my sisters-in-law worried."
"That's good!" Third sister-in-law's eyes turned red with excitement.
Originally, she didn't expect to survive, but now that her fourth brother has recovered, she has rekindled her hope of survival.
The eldest sister-in-law also looked relieved, "As long as everything is fine."
As long as my fourth brother is fine, the Xiao family still has hope, and the Xiao family's bloodline can continue.
Thinking of this, the sister-in-law looked at Lin Yiran.
The conditions do not allow it now, but when we settle down in the future, I will let my fourth brother and his wife consummate their marriage as soon as possible to continue the bloodline of the Xiao family.
Lin Yiran met her sister-in-law's burning gaze and was completely bewildered.
Why is my sister-in-law's look so creepy?
Could it be that she was too brave and made her sister-in-law change her sexual interest and fall in love with her?
Lin Yiran felt a chill in her heart. She pulled the corners of her lips and quickly turned to look at Xiao Yunzhan.
"We can't take the official road, nor the small road, we have to take the mountain road."
Xiao Yunzhan nodded, "Yes, I think so too."
"The mountain ahead isn't very dangerous. Everyone, follow closely and try to get over the top before finding a place to rest."
Xiao Yunzhan raised his hand and pointed to a slightly shorter mountain not far away.
After climbing over this mountain and then climbing a few more mountains to the west, you will be able to cross the East Gate City. Then you will walk along a small path and continue to climb mountains to the west, and you will get closer and closer to Brahma City...
Since the official has been killed, there is no reason to go to Ningguta again.
Madam Xiao looked at Xiao Yunzhan excitedly and patted Lin Yiran's shoulders twice, "Good boy, put me down."
Although she had known for a long time that her youngest son had recovered, she still couldn't help but get excited when she saw her son standing there with a sword in his hand.
Lin Yiran looked back at Madam Xiao and said, "Let's hurry up. You can't walk far on this mountain road."
The place where they killed the officials was not far from the gate of Guangfeng City. If they were unlucky and someone discovered them, a large number of soldiers would chase them, and it would be difficult to escape.
She was just a little stronger and had a quicker reaction, but she couldn't withstand the opponent's larger numbers.
No matter how powerful Xiao Yunzhan was, he could not withstand the human wave tactics. When he dealt with the officers and soldiers, he gave them the opportunity to capture the women and children of the Xiao family as hostages.
Xiao Yunzhan walked to Lin Yiran and looked at her gratefully.
"Thank you for the hard work along the way. Put me down and I'll carry her on my back."
