Chapter 314 I Lead Them Away
"lady!"
Songzhi cried, but Su Li, who was unconscious on the stretcher, still didn't respond at all.
After giving birth, Su Li fainted from exhaustion and was now being carried hurriedly towards the back mountain.
Song Tao followed closely behind, holding the little master in her arms.
On the other side of the mountain, the sound of fighting was still going on, and the faint sound seemed to be getting closer and closer.
"oops!"
Aunt Lu behind him missed a step and fell to the ground.
"Sister!" Lu Chang turned around to help.
"I can't run anymore!" Aunt Lu's eyes were filled with tears and she fell to the ground gasping for breath.
The night was restless. After leaving the villa, she ran in the dark mountains, one foot deep and one foot shallow, for who knows how long. As dawn approached, she was exhausted. After sitting down, she felt her legs trembling and could not stand up again.
The team also stopped because of this.
Nanny Li was also sweating profusely from running. She was old, and the fright she'd experienced the previous night, coupled with delivering Su Li, had already exhausted her energy. The moment she stopped, her eyes rolled back, and she collapsed to the ground.
"Get up! Everyone get up!"
Songzhi was so anxious that she jumped up and down.
There was no time to rest now. There was no telling how long the secret guards at the back could hold out. If the enemy broke through their defenses, all of them, the elderly, the weak, the women, and the children, would be killed here.
It’s okay for these slaves, but nothing must happen to the madam and the young masters!
Huan Ge'er was considered to be the strongest among them. He glanced at the exhausted crowd, grabbed Lian Cheng and said:
"That won't work. There are only the elderly, the weak, women and children here, and no one will be able to escape!"
Liancheng gestured:
"What do you think, sir?"
Huan Geer pointed to the way he came.
"I just found a cave over there. Let them hide in it. I will lead the others forward and lead the enemy forward."
"no!"
Lian Cheng shook his head in denial, "You stay with the Madam, I'll lead the others away!"
"None of you can do that!"
Mingmin suddenly spoke up, "They're coming for me, and they won't stop until they catch me. Pei Huan, protect Auntie, I'll go."
Shuo Ba didn't wait for Huan Ge'er to answer, and ran forward, tearing off strips of clothes and hanging them on the bushes and thorns as he ran.
"Sister Mingmin!"
Xijie'er cried out.
Seeing Mingmin's determination, Huan Ge'er made a prompt decision.
"Hurry up and take them to hide! I'll take a few people with Mingmin. Let's go!"
Mother had said that once Mingmin entered their home, she was a member of the family. She had great use for Mingmin and couldn't just let her die.
Liancheng couldn't resist, so he led everyone back the way they came, hid in the cave, and erased all traces to disguise the cave entrance.
Huan Ge'er, along with three or five secret guards, continued to pursue Ming Min, deliberately breaking some branches and pulling out some grass stems along the way to create the illusion of a large group of people passing by. At the same time, he pulled out a bag of poison powder from his pocket and sprinkled it along the way.
When Mingmin saw Huan Ge'er catching up with her, she was stunned at first, but then she felt happy.
"W-why are you here?"
"Now is not the time to talk about this, go!"
Huan Ge'er took Mingmin's hand and ran forward quickly.
……
"Commander-in-Chief Tan, they're heading this way!"
The pursuers finally arrived.
After a night of fierce fighting, Lieutenant General Tan's side suffered heavy losses. Of the thousands of soldiers he had brought out from the camp, less than 30% were likely left.
He was also wondering in his heart, what kind of bodyguards of a wealthy businessman could have such impressive fighting ability?
But at this moment he was already in a difficult situation.
The most urgent task right now was to capture Mingmin and kill her, so he could give an explanation to King Kang. As for implicating other people, it really didn't matter to him. He could then just casually present a pretext of suppressing bandits, not only would he be excused, but he might even be able to claim a great achievement!
"where?!"
Brigadier General Tan rushed forward and watched his men pointing at a piece of cloth on the thorns, which was scraped off from her skirt.
"Chase!"
A large group of people rushed over.
But they had only taken a few steps when a dozen soldiers in front of them screamed, covered their necks and foamed at the mouth and fell to the ground. The soldiers behind them were puzzled and went forward to help them. As soon as they touched their bodies, a layer of red rash appeared on their hands that was visible to the naked eye.
The rash quickly spread all over the body at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in a blink of an eye, it was strangling the neck, making it difficult to breathe, and the person fell to the ground and died of convulsions.
"What's this!"
Lieutenant General Tan was so frightened that he retreated repeatedly.
The killers were used to it, and had been cautious from the beginning. Now, seeing the soldiers being attacked, they were not worried but excited.
"Yes, it's that little vixen Mingmin! She's right in front, chase her! Be careful, avoid the path they took!"
They regrouped and set out again. This time everyone was terrified and suspicious, taking every step with caution.
……
In the cave.
Songzhi held Su Li and fed her a sip of water. Elder Fei also regained his breath and came up to give Su Li a few injections. She finally regained consciousness.
"child!"
The first thing Su Li did when she opened her eyes was to look for her child.
The last thing she saw before she passed out was a small, ugly blob. She didn't know what had become of the child now.
"Here! Here!"
Nanny Li hurried forward holding the child.
The newborn baby's skin was red and wrinkled, and its eyes were tightly closed. Its moist red lips were sucking unconsciously, and its small nose and mouth were wrinkled together.
"How ugly!"
Su Li was very disappointed.
In her mind, Pei Heng had such excellent genes, and with her own, they would definitely give birth to a beautiful child. But the child in front of her reminded her of a newborn monkey.
"Ma'am, all newborn babies look like this. They'll become beautiful as they grow up."
Nanny Li said with a smile.
Only after escaping death can you realize the preciousness of life.
"Pei Heng" also came over and stretched out his hand to touch the child's delicate face, but was slapped away by Nanny Li, who glared at him unhappily.
When Su Li married Pei Heng, Nanny Li had already complained about Pei Heng lying paralyzed in bed. After last night, Nanny Li was completely disappointed with Pei Heng.
"Everyone says General Pei is so powerful, but I didn't expect him to be just a silver-coated wax spear! He's just a fake reputation! I was really mistaken, expecting you to bring happiness to my wife! Humph! My wife has suffered so much for you, and you haven't even farted! Pah!"
Lian Rong really wanted to find a hole to crawl into.
With outsiders present, Su Li couldn't tell Nanny Li the truth, so she could only hold Lian Rong's hand and comfort her silently.
The two hid in a corner, holding the child. A faint light from outside the cave shone in, shining on the child's face.
"General, this is our son, do you see him?"
Su Li said softly, tears of bitterness and happiness already filling her eyes.
"Ma'am, the pursuers have passed."
Liancheng walked over and gestured.
"it is good."
Su Li nodded, turned around and started counting the number of people in the dim light, and suddenly found that not only Mingmin was missing, but even Huan Ge'er was gone.
"Where are Huan Ge'er and Ming Min?"
She struggled violently to get up, and the tear in her lower body caused her to grimace in pain.
"lady!"
Songzhi quickly helped her lie down, "Madam, Master Huan and Princess Mingmin are both very clever. They will definitely be able to escape the pursuers."
Having said that, everyone in the cave was very worried.
Xi Jie'er burst into tears and threw herself into Su Li's arms:
"Mom, brother will be fine!"
Su Li patted Xi Jie'er's back weakly.
"Yes, brother will be fine. Mom promises you."
Her body was extremely exhausted, but Su Li held on and refused to collapse. So many people were counting on her! And for the bloodbath at the villa today, she would definitely make the Quanzhou Camp pay her back double!
