Seeing that the four people really wanted to keep him, Ji Yanzhuo left without crying anymore.
To evade the pursuit of the Black Armor Army, they dared not take the official roads and could only choose to travel on remote mountain paths. Although the paths were difficult to walk on, the trees were lush, making it easy to hide their tracks.
In such an environment, coupled with heavy rain, it would be somewhat frightening for a small child.
Ji Yanzhuo didn't dare to stay alone, so he quickly got up and caught up with Gao Hongyuan and the others.
Gao Hongyuan felt Ji Yanzhuo following closely behind and finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He didn't see Ji Yanzhuo behind him, whose eyes were fixed on him like a venomous snake.
The demon in Ji Yanzhuo's heart screamed even louder: You're still a child, and he actually abandoned you in this deep mountain forest. He wants you dead! You have to kill him first, or he'll kill you!
The rain began to subside, and Gao Hongyuan breathed a slight sigh of relief. Once the sky cleared, it would be easier to travel.
Just then, I suddenly heard hurried footsteps and shouts coming from not far behind me.
Gao Hongyuan's heart jumped instantly.
Oh no, the Black Armor Army must have caught up with us.
"Quick, let's go!" Gao Hongyuan said anxiously, pulling Empress Wu forward.
The two guards didn't care whether Ji Yanzhuo resisted or not; they grabbed him by the waist and ran forward.
When people panic, they forget to choose their path. When they reach the edge of a cliff, they find that there is no way to go.
Liu Jing, on the other hand, walked up to them unhurriedly.
"Empress Dowager Wu, Imperial Advisor, please bring Ji Yanzhuo back with us."
Empress Dowager Wu glared at Liu Jing with resentment, "Liu Jing, I trusted you so much that I entrusted the Black Armor Army to you, but I never expected you to be such an ungrateful wretch."
"Your Majesty, the Black Armor Army belongs to Xiaoyue, not your Wu family. I, Liu Jing, only obey the Emperor's orders. What wrong have I done? I advise Your Majesty to obediently return with us, so as to avoid suffering in this desolate wilderness. I believe the Emperor will be lenient with you," Liu Jing advised kindly.
"Hahaha, leniency? I am the Empress Dowager of Xiaoyue, why should I need others to be lenient with me? Xiaoyue only has one emperor, and that is my son."
That Ji Yanche is nothing but a lowly bastard; what right does he have to sit on the throne?
"You are plotting to usurp the throne! If the late emperor is still alive, he will not let you get away with this!" Empress Dowager Wu rebuked Liu Jing with red eyes.
Liu Jing chuckled lightly, "Empress Dowager, I don't know if the late emperor will let us go, but I'm sure he would never allow someone else's child to inherit the throne."
"You!" Empress Wu was so angry that she trembled all over.
In fact, Liu Jing had already given Wu Tai back by not directly saying that Ji Yanzhuo was a bastard.
As Liu Jing drew closer, the group slowly retreated to the edge of the cliff.
The two guards exchanged a glance. Since they were going to die anyway, they might as well fight to the death. Killing one would break even, and killing two would be a bonus.
Thinking of this, the two rushed forward.
However, the two guards were outnumbered and killed by the black-armored soldiers standing behind Liu Jing before they could even get close.
Seeing the guard lying on the ground, his eyes wide open and dead, Empress Dowager Wu was both angry and anxious, and urged Gao Hongyuan to hurry up.
"You'd better think of something quickly, or we'll all die here today."
What could Gao Hongyuan possibly do? He hadn't mastered the Delicate Gu King technique yet, and even if he had, it wouldn't be useful at this time.
He kept backing away, his mind frantically trying to think of a way to escape.
what to do?
What should we do?
