Xiao Juan used all his strength to force their way out of the encirclement, but he was also injured.

The arrow wound on his back had not healed, to begin with. Now that he was injured again, his condition could be said to be very bad.

But he couldn’t stop.

The Imperial Guards were still in hot pursuit.

Once they caught up, Xiao Juan would definitely die.

At first, Xiao Juan could still use Qinggong. Later on, because he had bled too much, his stamina was exhausted, and his hand holding the No Return Saber was trembling.

He no longer had the strength to use Qinggong.

Seeing that they were about to be caught by the enemy, Yu Niaoniao pulled Xiao Juan and suddenly turned into a fork at the side.

There was a carriage parked quietly on the side of the road.

When Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan were shopping in the town just now, Yu Niaoniao had noticed this carriage.

She followed the route she remembered and returned here smoothly.

Yu Niaoniao took the No Return Saber from Xiao Juan’s hand and swung it to cut the noose. Then, she pulled Xiao Juan onto the horse.

Xiao Juan’s situation was not good at this moment. In order to prevent him from falling off the horse, Yu Niaoniao asked him to sit in front. She hugged his waist from behind and pulled the reins with the other hand.

The horse galloped forward with the two of them.

The imperial guards chased after them, but how could a person’s two legs outrun a horse’s four?

Seeing that the two of them were about to escape from the town, the commander of the imperial guards shouted sternly.

“Archers!”

The archers immediately stepped out of line. They flew to the roof, drew their bows, and nocked arrows. The arrows were all aimed at Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan.

Next, as long as the commander of the Imperial Guards gave the order, they could shoot the two of them off the horse.

But they waited for a long time, but there was no order to shoot.

They could not help but look at the commander of the Imperial Guards.

The commander of the Imperial Guards had an ugly expression.

He knew that as long as he gave the order to shoot, he could kill Xiao Juan.

However, Yu Niaoniao was sitting behind Xiao Juan now. If he wanted to shoot Xiao Juan, he had to kill Yu Niaoniao first.

However, before setting off, the emperor had specially instructed him not to hurt Yu Niaoniao. He had to bring her back to the Imperial Capital alive.

If he killed Yu Niaoniao, the emperor would definitely blame him.

He weighed the pros and cons in his heart before finally withdrawing all the archers.

However, this did not mean that he would let Xiao Juan off.

The Imperial Guards rode out of the town and chased after Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao.

Not long after, they saw a string of bright red blood on the ground.

It should be the blood on Xiao Juan’s body.

The commander of the Imperial Guards sneered at the string of blood.

“Let’s see where else you can run?!”

They continued their pursuit along the blood trail and quickly reached the foot of the mountain.

There were dense forests on both sides and endless winding mountain roads ahead.

The commander of the Imperial Guards was vigilant and asked, “Where does this road lead?”

They had brought a local official as a guide on this trip. The official immediately stood up and answered respectfully.

“General, this path should lead to the top of the mountain.”

The commander of the Imperial Guards did not understand why Xiao Juan would go to the top of the mountain, so he asked again.

“What’s so special about the mountaintop?”

The official answered truthfully, “This is an ordinary mountain. If there’s anything special, it’s that there’s a cliff at the top. There was once a hunter who accidentally lost his life by falling off the cliff. Since then, very few people have gone to the top of the mountain.”

Hearing this, the last doubts in the commander’s heart disappeared.

He sneered disdainfully. “Heh, they chose a dead end out of so many paths. How stupid

The group followed the mountain path. On the way, they saw a few more bloodstains and hoofprints beside the blood.

All of this proved that they were in the right direction.

The imperial guards increased their speed and successfully arrived at the top of the mountain.

However, they only saw a lonely horse and did not see Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao.

The imperial guards immediately scattered to search carefully.

Soon, they found Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao at the edge of the cliff.

Xiao Juan was seriously injured. At this moment, his face was pale and he was on the verge of collapse. He could only rely on Yu Niaoniao to barely stabilize himself.

The commander of the Imperial Guards looked at the two people who had been forced into a corner like a hunter seeing his prey that he had been chasing for a long time. A smug smile appeared on his face.

“You finally have nowhere to run, don’t you?”

Xiao Juan said weakly, “Let us go. Otherwise, we’ll jump down from here.” The commander of the Imperial Guards laughed.

“Haha, you still want to threaten me when you’re about to die? Do you think you’re still Duke Lang? You’re just a fugitive who deserves to die.”

“Even if you jump to your death from here, I can still bring your corpse back to report. ”

At this point, he specially glanced at Yu Niaoniao, his tone filled with coaxing.

“Miss Yu is still young and has a good life in the future. There is really no need to sacrifice your precious life for a fugitive.”

“Come over to me now. I’ll take you back to the Imperial Capital. The emperor is still waiting to see you.”

At this moment, Yu Niaoniao was sweating profusely and her hair was messy. She looked very disheveled, but her demeanor was very firm.

She said neither servile nor overbearing, “Then please help me pass a message to Shen Zhuo. I’ve already cut ties with him. Even if I die in the future, I won’t see him again on the road to hell!”

She could understand Shen Zhuo’s desire to fight for the throne. In his position, he could only be stepped on if he could not rule the world.

However, she could not accept it. Shen Zhuo had set a trap to lure Xiao Juan into the pit, causing Xiao Juan to bear the crime of regicide. He also sent people to hunt Xiao Juan down and abandoned the people of Liaodong and the 300,000 Eastern Expedition Army.

Such a method was too sinister and vicious!

The commander of the Imperial Guards’ face immediately darkened.

“Miss Yu, it’s your good fortune in your previous life that the emperor likes you! Such a heaven-sent opportunity to become a phoenix is something many people can’t even dream of!”

Yu Niaoniao said, “I don’t care. If you want such good fortune, take it. If you can achieve good things with Shen Zhuo in the future, don’t forget to treat me to a wedding banquet.”

“How dare you!”

The commander of the Imperial Guards flushed with agitation.

“How dare you insult the current emperor? Do you want to die?!”

Yu Niaoniao clicked her tongue. “You’re so protective of Shen Zhuo. Looks like you’re really devoted to him. Such deep love is really touching. Tsk, tsk, tsk. A guard has a deep crush on the handsome emperor. You can only hide your deep love in your heart and go to the ends of the earth to get a smile from your sweetheart. Aiyaya, you really love him!”

The commander of the Imperial Guards exploded in anger.

From the corner of his eye, he saw that the guards’ expressions were very strange. Could it be that they really believed Yu Niaoniao’s nonsense?!

No, he could not let Yu Niaoniao continue talking nonsense. Otherwise, when these words reached the emperor’s ears, he would definitely die with an incomplete body.

The exasperated commander of the Imperial Guards ordered, “Catch them!”
