Chapter 411: Escape

Although Madam Wen kept a vigilant eye on the archers, she also observed the situation in the yard from time to time.

Seeing Cui Yongzong's expression of satisfaction after listening to Bai Qi's words, an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

She whispered to Su Biwen: "Looking at them like that, they must be talking about bad ideas. You and I should be careful."

Cui Hengyue looked down with dark eyes and said quietly: "Shui Fu's words just now should have frightened them. They may let you go, but they will definitely set an ambush outside and catch you all."

Madam Wen and Su Biwen's expressions darkened, but Madam Wen had doubts and asked Cui Hengyue: "If something happens to you, will King Chu really avenge you?"

"No." Seeing their surprised looks, Cui Hengyue explained in a low voice: "I am not related to the King of Chu, so how could he avenge me?

"Don't forget, when I wanted to go down the mountain, it was King Chu who pressured me with the rules of Yunxuan Temple. In the end, we worked together and went through all kinds of hardships to get what I wanted."

Also, if King Chu valued Cui Hengyue, he would not let his subordinates bully her.

Madam Wen became worried: "In this case, we have to leave here quickly."

Su Biwen nodded slightly, and then shouted loudly: "Have you made up your mind? Should you save Cui Yuanniang or kill us? I'll count to three. If you haven't made up your mind yet, then we will both die together."

He stared sharply at Cui Yongzong and began to count:

"one,

"two,

"three!"

Before he finished speaking, Cui Yongzong shouted: "I promise you, as long as you let Yuanniang go, I will let you go."

"Uncle Cui, that's not what I said just now." Su Biwen sneered: "I just said, you have to let us go first. When we are safe, we will let Cui Yuanniang go."

"Okay, I promise you." Cui Yongzong hesitated and agreed.

Su Biwen looked happy and immediately made a request: "Within a quarter of an hour, prepare two horses for us, two tokens for leaving the city, and one hundred taels of gold."

Cui Yongzong said nothing and ordered Bai Qi to prepare these things.

So, Mrs. Wen and Su Biwen escorted Cui Hengyue out of the Jingguo Palace unobstructed and stopped outside the side door of the Jingguo Palace.

On the carriage not far away, Chen Linshen opened the curtain and looked at the side door of Duke Jingguo's Mansion, thoughtfully.

"Your Majesty, I didn't expect Miss Cui to be so miserable. She was plotted against by others as soon as she returned home. Even the people around her were arranged by others, and now they are still implicated and injured.

"Perhaps those two kidnappers were cruel and broke up with each other after they left safely."

As he spoke, Songmu slowly approached Chen Linshen and suggested in a low voice: "Prince, should we take action to save Miss Cui."

"We don't need to worry about her safety." Chen Linshen looked indifferent and ordered: "Gather people and secretly help these two kidnappers escape from Cui's clutches..."

Songmu was shocked: "Prince, do you want to save the kidnapper?"

That was the bad guy who kidnapped and hurt Cui Yuanniang. The master actually didn't save Cui Yuanniang, but went to save the kidnapper?

Master, what's going on?

Songmu couldn't guess, he just felt that the current master was not the former master, and he didn't care about Cui Yuanniang that much.

Chen Linshen said in a calm tone: "After helping them escape from Cui's pursuit, catch them and I will interrogate them personally."

Songmu: "...Yes."

A quarter of an hour later, Bai Qi handed over the things to Su Biwen and then stepped aside.

Lady Wen and Cui Hengyue were riding together. With a wave of the whip in her hand, the horses galloped away.

Su Biwen followed closely behind and looked at the people behind him warily.

The people from Duke Jingguo's Mansion did not pursue them, but the three of them knew in their hearts that there were many ambushes ahead.

"hiss--"

As the horse galloped, Cui Hengyue was jolted and his wounds hurt, and he couldn't help but cry out.

Madam Wen suddenly became nervous and leaned back to avoid her injury: "How are you? Can you still hold on?"

"I'm fine." Cui Hengyue pretended to be relaxed.

She endured it, leaned back, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear: "You asked for a token to leave the city. My uncle must have sent someone to set up an ambush outside the city. It's no different for you to leave the city at this time."

Yu Zi fell into a trap.

"There are a lot of people in the city. If you are smarter, hide among the crowd, and find a secret place to hide, as long as you don't come out, they will naturally give up after searching for a few days with no results."

Madam Wen thought seriously: "...But, is there any secret place in the city?"

"I have." Su Biwen suddenly appeared next to them, keeping pace with them.

He looked at Mrs. Wen and said, "When we get to the downtown area later, we will dismount. You follow me. I guarantee they can't find us."

If he had such abilities, how could he be sent to Yunxuan Temple by Wang Dingkun?

Madam Wen didn't quite believe it, her eyes were full of doubt.

Seeing this, Su Biwen was unhappy, but on second thought, it was normal for her not to believe him.

So, Su Biwen raised an eyebrow at Mrs. Wen: "How about it, do you dare to come with me?"

Besides trusting him, does she have any other choice?

Madam Wen made up her mind and raised her chin proudly: "Why don't you dare?"

Su Biwen was overjoyed: "Okay, then follow my orders."

When passing through the busy city, Su Biwen saw the opportunity and shouted: "Dismount."

Mrs. Wen whispered "take care" in Cui Hengyue's ear, jumped off her horse, and followed Su Biwen into the crowd.

The guards of the Cui Mansion who were secretly following along the way saw this scene and were shocked and hurriedly chased after him.

"Uu——"

Cui Hengyue stopped his horse while watching the people behind him hurried forward.

Zeng Ming suddenly appeared: "Yuan Niang, I will take you back to your home."

Shui Fu and Shui Rong, who followed closely behind, hurriedly stepped forward and helped Cui Hengyue off the horse. Their eyes were filled with tears: "Yuan Niang, we are incompetent and failed to protect you. Please punish me."

"It's none of your business, go back." Cui Hengyue leaned against Shui Rong weakly, looking in pain.

Suddenly, there was a noise from the front, and countless people ran toward them from the street in front, with panic expressions on their faces.

"You're killing someone, run away——"

The crowd is surging, and there will be a stampede if you are not careful.

"Protect Yuanniang."

Zeng Ming was horrified and quickly stood in front of Cui Hengyue with his guards, protecting her and moving her to a corner.

"what happened?"

As soon as the question came out of her mouth, Shui Fu saw several familiar figures appearing on the roof in front of her. They were Madam Wen, Su Biwen, and the guards of the Cui Mansion.

It turned out that the uncle had already prepared.

Shui Fu supported Cui Hengyue. In her nervousness, she held Cui Hengyue's hand harder and harder. Cui Hengyue frowned in pain and almost screamed.

"Fortunately, the uncle has already made arrangements, otherwise they would have escaped today." Zeng Ming was a little proud and said to Cui Hengyue: "Don't worry, Yuan Niang, the uncle will definitely catch those two thieves and vent your anger."

Cui Hengyue gritted her teeth and forced out a smile: "This is the best."

"Who are they?" Shui Fu asked, pointing to the man in black who suddenly jumped onto the roof.

Everyone looked around and saw that several men in black had appeared on the roof at some point, and they were fighting with the Cui Mansion's guards.

"Good opportunity, run quickly."
