Mu Feng went to help Muchen and the others. Xia Tian took Ningxiang and the others and hid in the cave. They all held their breath and dared not make any sound.
Fortunately, the rain was so heavy that the footprints they had just left were quickly washed away by the rain.
I just came here, and I was wrapped in a cloak in the summer, so my clothes didn’t get wet.
But Ningxiang and the others' clothes were all wet.
I didn't dare to light a fire to keep warm at this moment. Fortunately, the weather in Linzhou in May has become warmer. Although it is a little cool at night, it is not cold enough.
But wet clothes are uncomfortable to wear after all, especially for those pampered girls.
Although Ningxiang and the others were maids, they had never done any heavy work and their growing environment was probably better than that of ordinary young ladies.
Xia Tian took out a porcelain bottle from his bosom, poured out a handful of pills and put them in his hand. He stretched out his hand and whispered, "These pills, two per person, to prevent colds."
No extra words were said.
The cave was really dark. Fortunately, Ningxiang and the others put Xia Tian in the middle. After his eyes adjusted to the darkness for a while, he could vaguely see some human figures.
None of them dared to speak. They reached out and took two pills from Xia Tian's palm and silently put them into his mouth.
After taking the pill, I felt my body warm up instantly.
I don’t know if it’s just their psychological effect.
On the other side, in Sangluo City, Mu Lin frowned and looked at the heavy rain outside without saying a word.
Chen Nian was writing and drawing at the desk in the study, and no one knew what she was busy with.
Mu Lin waited for a while, walked out of the study, and stood at the door, staring at the heavy rain in a daze.
Mu Chen and Mu Feng were not around, and there was no one chattering in his ears, which made him a little uncomfortable.
Suddenly, a beam of purple light appeared in the southwest corner of the sky. Mu Lin's eyes widened suddenly and he stared at the purple light for a moment. When the light disappeared, he reacted.
He rushed into the study in two steps and said, "Master, the lady and the others are in trouble."
Mu Lin knew very well that the color of this flare was the same one that the master had given to his wife a few days ago.
Since the flares have been fired, they must be asking for help because they are in trouble.
"What's going on?" Shen Nian stood up from the chair in shock.
"I just saw the distress signal sent by the madam." Mu Lin said quickly.
When Shen Nian heard this, she became anxious in an instant, "Which direction?"
"Southwest."
Shen Nian didn’t know that Xia Tian had returned from Guangfu Temple today.
But as soon as Mu Lin told him the direction, he knew that Xia Tian must have encountered trouble on the way back to Sangluo City from Guangfu Temple.
"Let's go." Shen Nian ordered as he walked out quickly, "Go prepare the horses and gather!"
Mu Lin responded and quickly rushed out.
If it was just Mu Feng and Muchen who were in trouble, he wouldn't be so anxious, but the flare belonged to the Madam, and the main thing was that the Madam was pregnant with the young master, so they had to be rescued as soon as possible.
When Shen Nian walked quickly to the door, the horse was already ready, and Mu Lin and his men were also ready to go.
Shen Nian jumped on his horse and without saying anything, the group rushed out like an arrow.
When we arrived at the city gate, it was already closed.
It would be midnight.
When the officers and soldiers on duty heard that the governor was going to leave the city, they opened the city gate without saying a word.
The group rushed towards Guangfu Temple without much delay.
Chen Nian thought that Xia Tian and the others must have encountered some trouble on their way back from Guangfu Temple today. According to the time when it rained, they should not be too far from Guangfu Temple.
When they were halfway there, Shen Nian slowed down a little, "Mu Lin, is there any place to hide from the rain along the way?"
Mu Lin thought about the map he had hurriedly glanced at before setting off and said, "There aren't many houses along the way. There's a dilapidated temple not too far from Guangfu Temple ahead that could shelter me from the rain."
"Go to the dilapidated temple." Chen Nian thought that after they came down the mountain, if they encountered heavy rain and needed to take shelter, the most likely place would be to go to the dilapidated temple.
Without much hesitation, Mu Lin led the way and the group drove quickly towards the ruined temple.
On the other side, although the men in black were at a disadvantage at the beginning with the joining of Mu Feng, they kept fighting. As the number of guards injured increased, Mu Feng and Muchen found it difficult to cope.
In the summer they waited anxiously in the cave.
I don’t know how Mu Feng and the others are doing.
The leader of the men in black ordered his men to hold back Mu Feng and the others, and while they were unable to escape, he flew away from the top of the ruined temple.
Just now he saw those women passing by behind the ruined temple.
He had actually been keeping an eye on Xia Tian and the others for many days, but he had never found an opportunity.
After finally seeing them leave the city, I thought of ambush them on the road and then kill them.
Unfortunately, when they went to Guangfu Temple that day, Chen Nian was with them, and Mu Lin also brought many people with him, so they did not dare to act rashly.
After waiting for another three days, summer finally came and they came down the mountain and went home.
And God also helped them. The rain was getting heavier and heavier, and they finally found this opportunity.
He knew that this opportunity would only come once. If he couldn't get rid of the person this time, he would never have another chance.
Mu Feng and Muchen saw that the leader of the men in black actually went behind the ruined temple, and they knew that something was wrong. As long as they were determined, the lady and the others would be found in less than half a minute.
Mu Feng was anxious and his hands were slow to move, so his arm was scratched by the man in black.
Muchen was also extremely anxious. He sped up to force back the four men in black who were harassing him. He jumped to the top of the ruined temple and quickly chased after the leader of the men in black.
No matter who is hurt, my wife must not be hurt.
Mu Feng saw Mu Chen leaving, and felt relieved. He endured the pain, stuffed two pills into his mouth, and swung his sword more tightly.
Seeing that Mu Feng was furious, the man in black didn't dare to get close to him for a while.
Here, Muchen chased the leader of the men in black towards the back mountain.
Sure enough, not long after, the cave was discovered by the leader of the men in black.
"I know you are hiding inside." The man in black shouted in a deep voice.
Ningxiang, Ningxue and the others covered their mouths tightly, not daring to make any sound.
Hearing the men in black chasing them, the girls were so frightened that their bodies were shaking.
Xia Tian held their hands and comforted them.
Although she was very nervous at this moment, her palms were sweating a lot.
But I still have to pretend to be calm, otherwise Ningxiang and the others will be even more scared.
Xia Tian's heart was in her throat. She did have some self-defense items in her space, but she couldn't take them out in front of everyone.
I was struggling with this, thinking that if it really didn't work, I would just ignore everything else and save my life first.
Seeing no response from the cave, the man in black slowly walked over with his sword in hand.
Fortunately, it was the middle of the night and it was very dark. In addition, it was raining heavily and the vision was blocked, so the people in black did not notice that there was anyone in the cave.
But as he got closer, he would definitely find someone hiding here.
