Chapter 128: Lure away the pursuers
Wei Xiaoran immediately protected the emperor, frowned, and asked, "Your Majesty, who knew you were out this time?"
The emperor also frowned and said, "Apart from Xiao Suzi, there are only Xiao Yunzi and Wu Lin."
Xiao Yunzi and Wu Lin are both disciples of Eunuch Su.
Xiao Suzi has been serving the emperor since he was a child. The two of them have been together since childhood, sharing the joys and sorrows.
The emperor did not believe that Xiao Suzi would betray him. So, the only ones who leaked the news were Xiao Yunzi and Wu Lin.
Lin Shuo was stunned for a moment. He really didn't know that this Mr. Huang was actually the emperor.
Immediately, Lin Shuo's face changed. The next second, a long arrow flew from the sky. Lin Shuo pulled the emperor to dodge and narrowly avoided it.
The carriage of Lin Qian and her companions was also hit by long arrows. Lin Qian pressed down the heads of Ge Wenyu and Shen Junqi, and pressed them tightly to the bottom of the carriage, so that the long arrows did not hurt the three of them.
With a loud bang, the carriage that Lin Shuo and the others were riding in broke into four pieces. Wei Xiaoran and Lin Shuo, one on the left and one on the right, protected the emperor and flew to the side of Lin Qian and the others' carriage.
"Sister! Wenyu, are you all okay?" Lin Shuo asked, then quickly glanced around.
Then they saw another rain of arrows coming. Lin Shuo flew into the air and landed on the roof of the carriage. He circulated his internal energy with both hands, and then a circular wave of internal energy exploded, shaking off the rain of arrows flying towards them.
At this time, Lin Qian also came out with Ge Wenyu and Shen Junqi.
Lin Shuo immediately took Ge Wenyu over, Lin Qian took Chen Junqi, Wei Xiaoran protected the emperor, and the six of them abandoned the car and fled.
As soon as Lin Qian and the others left, more than fifty men in black rushed out of the dense forest, holding long swords, and chased after them.
Although Chen Junqi was a little brave, she was, after all, a young lady who had been raised in seclusion in a secluded place. She had never seen such a scene before and was so scared that her face turned pale.
Although she was scared, she did not scream, but just hugged Lin Qian tightly and trembled.
"Don't be afraid!" Lin Qian patted Chen Junqi soothingly, then glanced at Wei Xiaoran.
Wei Xiaoran said to Lin Shuo, "Shuo Shuo, you are the most skilled martial artist. We will split up and leave. I will take the Emperor away, and you two go and call for reinforcements. This is the Emperor's token!"
Lin Shuo took the token, said nothing more, and walked another way while holding Ge Wenyu.
Seven or eight men in black who were chasing him from behind also caught up instantly. Lin Shuo didn't need to pay any attention to these people at all. They couldn't even touch the corner of Lin Shuo's clothes.
"Qianqian, take Miss Chen and retreat first. Their target is the emperor, and I can still take the emperor with me for a while." After Wei Xiaoran made arrangements for Lin Shuo, he began to command Lin Qian again.
Lin Qian ignored him and said, "No, the situation is unclear now. I won't leave. I'm not weak in martial arts and can help."
The most important thing is that she has space. If she really can't defeat her opponent, she will knock all three of them out, put them into the space and escape.
Wei Xiaoran also knew Lin Qian's personality, so he stopped talking about asking her to leave. Instead, he said, "Go to the mountains, quickly!"
Lin Qian didn't hesitate and rushed into the dense forest with Chen Junqi.
Although there were many men in black behind them, Lin Qian and Wei Xiaoran were very good at lightness skills. Even though they were carrying one person each, they were still very fast. In addition, the environment in the woods was complicated, so the four of them soon got rid of the men in black.
"Do you have any ideas? Who sent these men in black?" Lin Qian asked as they walked.
The emperor sneered and said, "Who else could have placed spies around me in the palace except my good brother?"
Although the eldest prince failed in his fight for the throne, the emperor did not kill him. The relationships involved were very complicated and it would be difficult to explain them in a short time. The eldest prince's final fate was to be sent to the imperial mausoleum to sweep the tomb.
Lin Qian didn't care much about this, so she just said what she was thinking: "If he really sent people to assassinate you, then are these men in black all the manpower he has? Does he have any other arrangements?"
After all, many TV dramas are played out like this, so we have to be on guard.
Wei Xiaoran and the emperor looked at each other and fell silent.
Previously, the eldest prince was the best candidate for the throne. Even the late emperor chose him as his heir. He had many followers, so he must have a backup plan.
Thinking of this, Wei Xiaoran immediately said to the emperor: "Take off your clothes and let's change. If there are really pursuers later, I will lead them away."
The emperor looked at Wei Xiaoran deeply, then began to take off his clothes.
Lin Qian's worries turned out to be correct. The four of them ran deeper into the mountains for a while, and sure enough, they heard human voices in front of them. They immediately stopped and rushed in the other direction.
“Woof woof woof!”
The four of them had just walked towards this side for a while when they heard the sound of dogs barking.
They have entered the encirclement.
Wei Xiaoran's expression changed immediately. Lin Qian took advantage of the three people's inattention, put one hand behind her back, took out a jade bottle from the space, and handed it to the emperor and Shen Junqi.
"Apply this medicine to your bodies to hide your scent. We'll lure the men in black away, and you'll wait for an opportunity to escape. If you haven't emerged from the mountains by tomorrow morning, light a bonfire and we'll return to find you."
Lin Shuo was quite fast. If they waited a little longer, the Imperial Guards would arrive, and they would have to deal with these men in black again.
Wei Xiaoran hesitated for a moment before agreeing to Lin Qian's method.
They are not sure how many people there are now. Even though they are very skilled in martial arts, it is still difficult for them to lead one person out of the encirclement when facing so many people.
The emperor also knew that this was the best method at the moment. He nodded and held the medicine bottle tightly.
Lin Qian thought about it, then took out four or five packets of poison and gave them to the emperor and Shen Junqi for self-defense. Then she put her arm around Wei Xiaoran's waist with one hand and flew him away in another direction.
The emperor held onto Chen Junqi, and the two of them quietly hid in a corner, listening to the dog barking suddenly become rapid, followed by several people shouting: "Over here, chase!"
Although Shen Junqi was extremely frightened, she didn't say a word and was shaking with nervousness. However, she found that her hand was held tightly by someone, and the warmth dispelled some of her fear.
"Your Majesty, what should we do now?" Shen Junqi already knew the emperor's identity, so naturally he could no longer call him Young Master Huang.
"Wait a moment, then we'll leave." The emperor was afraid that the men in black around him had not yet caught up with them, and it would be disastrous if they were discovered.
The two stayed in the depths of the dense forest for nearly half an hour, their bodies covered with mosquito bites. Then they started to move around, trying to find a way out.
It was pitch black all around, with only a full moon in the sky emitting a bright and clear light, allowing the two to vaguely see the outlines of the surroundings.
The two walked in the dark for a while, and then unfortunately ran into two men in black who were keeping watch around here.
The emperor and Shen Junqi turned around and ran without hesitation.
