Chapter 824: Chapter 822: Han Yuwen’s Defeat and Escape
Upon witnessing the siege of Chu Yihan and Qin Muyan’s formidable armies, Han Yuwen immediately ordered the Qi State troops to resist, gritting her teeth in hatred, “Why do they still have soldiers and horses? Haven’t they already been defeated? Chu Yihan has been so badly injured, he’s already hidden away in Yungui City, how could he still lead troops!”
“Princess, please stay calm and cautious. Let’s first retreat a bit to avoid getting hurt by these people. As for the Ninth Prince… perhaps someone in Yungui City has saved him. I just saw that the person leading the troops is Su Hao, not the Ninth Prince,”
Yun Dan advised in a low voice, standing beside Han Yuwen.
Her mind was intricate, but she also pondered some perplexing points.
Why the army that just now seemed like a defeated rabble suddenly became as fierce as a legion of tigers and wolves.
“Su Hao… Su Yingxue’s brother. Pass my command, bring me his head. 1 will grant ten thousand gold and a marquisate to the one who accomplishes this!”
A trace of bloodlust flashed in Han Yuwen’s eyes. She wanted not just Su Yingxue’s death but also for all those who loved her to accompany her to hell!
They don’t deserve to live in this world with her!
Yun Dan conveyed her order but almost failed to make it back to her side.
Having been struck by an arrow in the back, she gasped for air as she ran to Han Yuwen, her mouth full of blood: “Princess, hurry! There’s an ambush. Qin Muyan isn’t injured at all, and Su Hao’s army is majestic, not resembling one that has lost a battle. Their numbers are increasing!”
“How can this be? Where are Beiling’s troops? Is Rong Sheng dead? Why doesn’t he come out and command his troops!”
Han Yuwen stood atop the carriage, shouting arrogantly.
An arrow from Su Hao whistled through the air, scattering her hair and pulling her down from the carriage by tangling in her tresses.
Han Yuwen screamed in terror.
Had Yun Dan not acted swiftly and cut her hair in time, Han Yuwen would have been smashed to death!
With Yun Dan cushioning Han Yuwen’s fall and seriously injured, she still urged, “Princess, run quickly!”
Han Yuwen quickly stood up, forgoing her princess’s image, and fled immediately towards the palace at the top of Wudao Mountain.
Qin Muyan commanded his troops to pursue Han Yuwen.
Meanwhile, Su Hao followed Chu Yihan’s military orders, cutting off Han Yuwen’s troops at the base of the mountain, causing her to flee in disarray, isolated and without support.
As Han Yuwen fled towards the mountain, she ran into Chu Yifeng midway.
Seeing him as if he were a savior, she flung herself at him, “Senior Brother!!”
Chu Yifeng raised an eyebrow, his alluring eyes filled with a roguish charm, “Isn’t this my junior sister? Get up quickly. Why such a sorry state? You are a princess of a nation; this is unbecoming of your image.”
Chu Yifeng pretended to be accommodating, and Han Yuwen saw no flaw in his act.
She even thought that inside Chu Yifeng’s body was a soul like hers that had transmigrated and said, “Senior Brother, don’t you find it strange? Clearly, you pretended to save Chu Yihan earlier, striking at him to inflict more injuries. Yet now, he can still lead troops, and Su Hao and Qin Muyan have been relentlessly pursuing me. I had no choice but to escape to find our teacher.”
If she didn’t turn to Wu Dao, she was certain to be dismembered by Qin Muyan’s horses.
“Didn’t Chu Yihan fail to show up? He should have died in the city. Now, you go to the teacher in peace. Come, let your senior brother help you,”
Chu Yifeng kindly helped Han Yuwen up.
Han Yuwen had no guard up against him.
However, while walking on the mountain path, she casually spoke to Chu Yifeng, “Senior Brother, do you still remember the way to our teacher’s place? I don’t recall it very well..”
