Pei Xuan and Duan Nian were puzzled as to why Qi Guze suddenly stopped when he had the chance to escape.
Qi Guze looked in the direction where Xu Yuehuai had lured the soldiers away and said to Pei Xuan and the others, "The person who just lured the soldiers away was Yuehuai. She put herself in danger to save us. With her mediocre skills, I'm worried something might happen to her."
"You all should leave here quickly, I need to get there to save A-Yue!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan and the others decided they didn't want to leave anymore.
They had just thought that Qi Guze's people had drawn away the guards, but they never expected that a little girl had drawn away the danger for them!
If it weren't for Xu Yuehuai, all of them might have died in the palace today. Xu Yuehuai saved them twice!
They didn't want to abandon Qi Guze and risk their own lives.
"Since Your Highness is going to rescue Miss Xu, then let's go with you!"
"Yes! Miss Xu saved us all today, how can we let her risk her life alone? I want to go and save Miss Xu too!"
"Me too! I'm going to save Miss Xu too! Your Highness, please take me with you!"
Qi Guze saw that his subordinates were all willing to rescue Xu Yuehuai, but if there were too many people, they would become too conspicuous and would not only fail to rescue her, but also put themselves in danger.
"None of you need to follow them. Pei Xuan can come with me. Everyone, please go back first!"
Upon hearing this, Pei Xuan understood why Qi Guze had made such an arrangement. They had been fighting with the soldiers for a long time that night, and everyone's strength had been greatly depleted. Among them, he was the best, and if he went to risk his life with Qi Guze, he would be able to protect himself.
"Everyone, please listen to His Highness's words. You can all go back now. I'll take His Highness back with me later!"
Pei Xuan addressed the guards around him, who nodded and glanced at Qi Guze and Pei Xuan with concern before immediately retreating from the Mingyue Kingdom's palace along the previous route.
After those people left, Qi Guze took Pei Xuan with him to look for Xu Yuehuai.
At this moment, Xu Yuehuai, accompanied by several guards, was leading the guards of the Mingyue Kingdom's palace on a leash.
"You thieves, you've killed so many of our guards, you're all going to die today!"
"If we catch you later, we'll tear you apart and feed your flesh to the hungry wolves!"
"You will not escape today! You will die a horrible death!"
"How dare you break into our palace and commit violence! You really have a death wish!"
The soldiers of the Dark Moon Kingdom shouted, but they couldn't catch up with Xu Yuehuai and his group at all.
The people Xu Yuehuai brought were all exceptionally skilled in light-footed martial arts; they flew incredibly fast, and the soldiers of the Dark Moon Kingdom simply couldn't catch up with them.
"All you do is shout nonsense. We never even considered assassinating the king!"
"Don't be fooled by the real thieves!"
"The ones who wanted to assassinate the king were not us!"
"If you are deceived by real thieves, then the king will truly be in danger!"
They failed to discover the real thief, allowing the mastermind to hide even deeper. If they were to launch a sudden counterattack against the King of Mingyue Kingdom, they would truly be in danger!
The guards in the Mingyue Kingdom's palace simply ignored Xu Yuehuai's orders.
"You are the traitors who assassinated His Majesty the King, and you're still trying to clear yourselves of suspicion?"
"Don't think we don't know your methods. You did all of this, and we've left evidence. Do you still want to resist?"
"Whether it's the crime of assassinating His Majesty the King or the crime of trying to steal treasures from the Treasure Pavilion, you will be beheaded ten times over!"
The soldiers of the Dark Moon Kingdom simply did not believe that Xu Yuehuai and his group had come to steal treasures from the treasure pavilion.
Xu Yuehuai and his men didn't want to continue entangled with these soldiers. They just wanted to find a way out as soon as possible and shake them off.
Just when they were at their wits' end, being chased by the soldiers of the Dark Moon Kingdom, Qi Guze and Pei Xuan suddenly rushed out from the side.
The two of them quickly disrupted the pursuit of the soldiers from the Dark Moon Kingdom, injuring several and causing them to fall to the ground.
Next, Qi Guze simply stretched and hugged Xu Yuehuai, whispering in her ear, "Who told you to come and take this risk again?"
"You've really gotten too bold lately. When we get back, I'll teach you a lesson you won't forget!"
Xu Yuehuai said, "I was just worried about your safety. I promise I won't do it again!"
"You better not do it again next time, or I'll make sure you never forget this lesson!"
Qi Guze pinched Xu Yuehuai's cheek with a bit too much force, causing her to gasp in pain.
"If you don't learn your lesson, you'll take the same risks again next time."
"I can be in trouble, but you can't be in trouble!"
"What am I supposed to do if something happens to you?"
As Qi Guze spoke, his eyes were full of concern.
Xu Yuehuai felt a little guilty for a moment, and she quickly said, "No, I will definitely protect myself, and I want to protect you too!"
"Don't think that just because you've kept it from me, I don't know you're seriously injured."
"You'd better go and put me down quickly. I know the way out myself."
Xu Yuehuai patted Qi Guze's hand that was holding her waist, indicating that she could get down and walk on her own.
Qi Guze said, "I am not that weak. Let me take you out first."
As he spoke, Qi Guze led Xu Yuehuai toward the outside of the Mingyue Kingdom's palace.
Meanwhile, the guards had already shaken off the soldiers of the Dark Moon Kingdom and followed Qi Guze, leaving the Dark Moon Kingdom's palace together.
"Oh dear! These thieves got away! How are we going to explain this to His Majesty the King?"
"What are we going to do? We haven't managed to save a single one! His Majesty will never forgive us!"
The soldiers suddenly became extremely frightened, fearing that the King of the Dark Moon Kingdom would turn against them later.
Suddenly one of them stepped forward and said to everyone, "Although no living people were left, we can find some dead people!"
Then we can use the corpses of the dead soldiers as a disguise and explain it to the King of the Underworld Moon Kingdom!
This man came up with the best solution, and the guards nearby, upon hearing this, immediately thought of doing it as well.
After they disguised the guard's body, they took it to report to the King of Mingyue Kingdom!
The King of the Underworld frowned when he saw the corpses...
