"Do you know how Tuoba Jun and the others are doing now?" Li Han asked the system on the way to find Lu Li.
According to what the system said before, all of this should develop according to the established plot, and the future process system at this time should be the most familiar to the four. Although Li Han does not expect it to point out the direction for him, at least it can tell him whether Tuoba Jun is safe now.
However, the system didn't say anything. Li Han was a little unhappy. "Why, you can't even tell me this? Do you want to keep it a secret?"
The system chose to remain silent, and Li Han was unwilling to continue asking questions. After all, this system could not be relied upon now. It was better to rely on oneself than on others. He decided to go find Tuoba Jun on his own.
Li Han hurried to Lu Li's study and said to him nervously, "Lu Li, this is bad! Tuoba Jun and the others encountered assassins along the way and are now in danger of death. Let's go find them together! What if something happens to them?"
Lu Li frowned, "What if something happens to them? Have you ever thought about what would happen to me if something happens to you? What if your father roars in anger? Even Tuoba Jun and the others don't want you to get into trouble because of her!"
Lu Li knew that Tuoba Jun's case was not simple, and he was very worried about Li Han. After all, when she encountered problems, especially those related to people around her, she would easily get hot-headed and ignore the consequences. She would often hurt herself all over and would not stop. Lu Li did not want to see Li Han like this.
"You'd better stay in the palace. His Majesty has already sent people to investigate this matter. I believe there will be news soon. Don't cause trouble anymore. Just wait for the news in the palace!"
Although what Lu Li said was right, Li Han was just so impatient, especially when Tuoba Jun's life or death was uncertain and he had to sit calmly in the outer palace. As a friend, he should stick by his friend when he encounters difficulties instead of sitting and waiting for death. This is the principle that Li Han has always adhered to.
Seeing Lu Li's resolute attitude of disagreement, Li Han's eyes turned and he had an idea. If the hard way didn't work, he would try the soft way. He hugged Lu Li's arm, squeezed out a few tears into his eyes, and lowered his voice to pretend to be sobbing.
"Lu Li, just let me go. Tuoba Jun and I are as close as sisters, not to mention Lu Yuan is your cousin. I can't sit here in the palace and wait for death. Can you just watch them go on the run?"
Lu Li was helpless. "How can I not be worried? It's just too dangerous. What if they don't find you and something happens to you? What should I do then?"
"No, I'll be fine. After we get out, I will stay by your side and will never act alone. I will only move within your sight!" Seeing that Lu Li had given in, Li Han immediately took advantage of the situation and chased after him.
"Are you sure you can do this?" Lu Li was still skeptical. After all, Li Han was a very clever girl, so Lu Li had to be on guard.
"I swear, if I can't do this, I will stay in my room and never go out again, and let you do whatever you want!" Li Han swore, looked at Lu Li who didn't react, and then hugged him again, "I'm like this now, just trust me this time!"
What Lu Li couldn't stand the most was Li Han's coquettish behavior. He sighed and had no choice but to nod and agree.
After Tuoba Jun and Lu Yuan escaped, they kept moving forward without stopping, fearing that they would be caught up again. They didn't know how long they had been running before they could no longer run. They were tired and hungry. They had even taken off their outer clothes in order to get away. They were starving and cold.
Fortunately, they happened to pass by a village while escaping. The villagers saw that they were dressed in rags and thought they were refugees fleeing famine, so they didn't ask any questions. After all, it was a turbulent time and there were often refugees. So they sympathetically welcomed them into the village, and they were taken in by an old man and lived in his home.
Lu Yuan and Tuoba Jun were very touched by the villagers' enthusiasm, but thinking that they were still being hunted, they did not reveal their identities. Without saying anything, Lu Yuan said to the old man, "Excuse me, can you give us some food? We haven't eaten for a long time!"
The old man patted his head and said with a smile: "Oh, I am really confused. I will bring you some food!"
Then he brought some simple food to Tuoba Yun and the others. At this moment, they didn't care about anything else and started to eat voraciously. The old man looked at them with pity in his eyes.
When Shen Lingli learned that Tuoba Jun and Lu Yuan had escaped, she was very angry and immediately sent people to search along the way again, not giving up even a corner, as if she would not give up until she found them.
Later, Shen Lingli's men also chased to the village where Tuoba Jun and his men were hiding, but the villagers' attitude towards the men in black was obviously not the same as before.
Seeing that the men in black looked ferocious and didn't look like good people, the villagers, some picking up hoes, some picking up kitchen knives, gathered at the village gate with whatever tools they could use and demanded, "Who are you and why are you breaking into our village?"
"We are here to look for someone. Have you seen these two people?" A man in black showed the portraits of Tuoba Jun and Lu Li.
The villagers stared at the portrait in amazement, and then one of them shouted, "You've never seen this before, get out of here!" The other villagers echoed.
Although these villagers have lived in this village for generations and have never left, they can still distinguish between the most basic good and evil, so they instinctively want to protect Tuoba Yun and Lu Yuan.
The people Shen Lingli found were all desperate criminals. They were very disdainful of the villagers. They had sharp eyes and drew their swords and pointed them at the villagers, as if they were going to kill them if they didn't get out of the way. The villagers immediately became cowardly and retreated, not daring to stop them.
Then, Shen Lingli led the men in black into the village. They searched the village wildly and broke into every house to check. Suddenly, the whole village was in chaos. At this time, Lu Yuan, who was eating at the old man's house, heard the noise outside. He walked to the door and saw from a distance through the crack of the door that the men in black who were chasing them were slowly approaching. He immediately felt that something was wrong.
Lu Yuan originally wanted to take Tuoba Jun away immediately, but now they were surrounded by men in black. They were too big a target to escape, so the old man took them into the house and told them to hide inside and not come out.
Soon, a group of men in black kicked open the old man's door and walked in, surrounding the old man who was sitting in the yard. Shen Lingli took out the portrait and asked, "Old man, have you seen the two people in the portrait?"
The old man acted unusually calm, sitting in a rocking chair, fanning himself with a palm-leaf fan. Then he shook his head and said slowly, "I've never seen it!"
