Xiao Yunzhan wanted to say many words of gratitude, but he swallowed them back.
At this time, it would seem fake to talk about how to repay Lin Yiran. As long as he could survive, Lin Yiran's affairs would be his from now on.
No matter what secrets she has, at least she has saved the lives of everyone in the Xiao family along the way.
Just for this reason, even if Lin Yiran wants to kill him in the future, he will let her stab him first.
As he spoke, Xiao Yunzhan reached out and held Madam Xiao's arm.
Looking at his mother who had lost a lot of weight, his eyes were filled with guilt.
Seeing Xiao Yunzhan's guilty look, Lin Yiran let go of Madam Xiao.
"That's fine. I'll take your place when you're tired. Let's go."
It's time for Xiao Yunzhan to fulfill his filial duty, otherwise he will feel very uncomfortable.
He watched his family suffer along the way, but he was powerless to do anything, and he felt very tormented.
No wonder the blackening value drops so slowly.
Madam Xiao lay on Xiao Yunzhan's back and sighed deeply.
"Let's go, everyone be careful."
She knew her son well. If she didn't let him carry her on his back, he would definitely kneel down and beg her.
When we are escaping, we cannot waste everyone's time because of her non-cooperation.
She really can't walk very fast, so she will only hold everyone back.
Xiao Yunzhan responded, carrying Old Madam Xiao on his back and leading the way towards the mountain.
Lin Yiran glanced at Xiao Lingyan, whose face was pale with fatigue, and picked her up and held her under her arm.
"Don't move. I'm very strong and will put you down if I can't hold you."
Xiao Lingyan's face flushed red as she struggled.
"Aunt, I can still walk, please put me down..."
The second sister-in-law looked at Lin Yiran holding Xiao Linghui in her left hand and Xiao Lingyan in her right hand, and her eyes were red with emotion.
"Ling Yan, listen to your aunt and don't move around. It will make your aunt more tired. Remember your aunt's kindness and repay her well in the future..."
The second sister-in-law was also feeling bad. She saw that her daughter could no longer hold on, but she was also holding on and had no strength to pick up her daughter.
She also had to support her third brother's wife, otherwise she would have collapsed long ago.
She was also quite shocked that her sister-in-law could walk for so long.
Xiao Lingyan pursed her lips and stopped struggling.
"Thank you, Auntie..."
After all, she was still a child. She said she could hold on, but Lin Yiran had only walked a few steps with her in her arms when the two children fell asleep unconscious.
.........
"Oh no! I lost the person!"
Chai Yuanyu's two spies were dumbfounded when they saw the empty official road.
They were very tired after traveling all night long these days.
When he woke up, he found that Meng Zhuang and the prisoners had already left.
They chased all the way but didn't see anyone at all.
"Um!?"
One of the shorter spies sniffed gently, frowning slightly, "Do you smell blood?"
“The smell of blood!?”
The spy at the higher point looked at his companion in surprise, frowned, and sniffed hard.
“It seems that there is a little…”
"Squat down and smell it."
The spy on the higher point squatted down, his pupils suddenly trembling, "What a strong smell of blood."
He followed the smell of blood and looked towards the ditch nearby.
I saw a large number of flies buzzing around in the ditch.
He looked back at the shorter spy, and they both drew their swords at the same time, and with a vigilant look on their faces, they used their swords to push away the weeds covering the ditch.
"This—the officer is dead."
Looking at the bodies of several officers lying at the bottom of the narrow ditch, the two men gasped at the same time.
The two spies restored the weeds above the ditch to their original state and immediately rushed to the capital.
They didn't dare to continue chasing Xiao Yunzhan's family now. Who knew how many people were around Xiao Yunzhan.
It looked like the people who were supposed to pick up Xiao Yunzhan had already arrived to take the Xiao family away and killed these officials.
All they could do was to hurry back and report to Lord Chai.
As for where their secret agent, Mrs. Niu, had gone, they didn't even remember this person.
On the other side, Du Tianli, who was galloping on his horse, had begun to doubt his life.
"What's going on? Where are the people? Where did everyone go? Ah!"
Du Tianli collapsed and roared, but his hoarse voice could not even produce any momentum.
He was exhausted all the way and even looked around the farmland paths on the roadside, but he didn't see the escort team.
It's like seeing a ghost. How could so many people suddenly disappear?
"Boss, the East Gate City is just ahead. Why don't we go and ask if they have entered the city?"
One of the palace guards looked at the city gate in the distance and suggested.
Although Du Tianli didn't believe that those people could reach Dongmen City so quickly, he still rode his horse towards Dongmen City.
It was getting dark and the city gates would be closed soon, so I went to ask first.
If he can't find the person, his life will be in danger.
......
“Never seen it before!!?”
Du Tianli stared at the city gate officer with wide eyes, almost vomiting blood in anger.
He would rather Meng Zhuang took his men into Dongmen City, at least he would have a direction to chase.
Now he has completely lost his direction and is completely confused.
He had clearly been following the official escort road, so how come he didn't meet anyone?
After thinking for a moment, Du Tianli looked towards the post station at the city gate, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
"Damn it, I didn't miss it."
He had never checked the post station at the gate of Guangfeng City.
That bastard Meng Zhuang, could it be that he took his men to the post station as soon as he left the city gate?
No matter how he thought about it, this possibility was impossible, but he had no other place to look at the moment, so he could only try his best.
"Let's go back to Guangfeng City!"
Du Tianli's voice was hoarse. He immediately turned his horse's head, ignored the horse that was already exhausted, raised the whip and whipped it, and headed straight for Guangfeng City.
If he couldn't find the person, he would be dead, so how could he care whether the horse could bear it or not?
At this time, Lin Taotao, who had falsely accused the Xiao family's private soldiers of theft, was following Eunuch Yu towards the imperial study with a nervous and excited look on her face.
The corner of her eyes kept scanning the magnificent palace, her eyes full of obsession.
This was her first time entering the palace in her two lifetimes.
Even though the palace had been robbed, it was still so magnificent and dazzling.
Lin Taotao clenched her fists silently. Now that she had come to the palace, she had no intention of leaving.
Yu Huaqian led Lin Taotao into the imperial study.
"Your Majesty, this is the daughter of the Lin family—Lin Taotao."
Emperor Wu of Liang raised his eyelids and looked at Lin Taotao with a scrutinizing look.
"Are you the daughter of the Lin family, Lin Taotao?"
Lin Taotao met the gaze of Emperor Wu of Liang, and her heart trembled. She knelt down and kowtowed.
"Your Majesty, I am Lin Taotao, the daughter of the Lin family. May Your Majesty be blessed with good health..."
Emperor Wu of Liang looked at Lin Taotao coldly, then stood up and walked towards her step by step.
Lin Taotao looked at the bright yellow shoes of Emperor Wu of Liang in front of her, and her heart beat faster with nervousness.
