Traveling through ancient times to escape famine, the prince led me to rebel

"Humph, Uncle Li, you are so calculating! You have used me all along and now you want me to help you raise your child. I tell you, it's impossible!"

Luo Xiaoran was already very angry at Uncle Li's words. She was always calm and composed, but she felt that her rationality was gradually disintegrating.

"Tomorrow morning, as soon as the city gate opens, I will leave the city.

Anyway, I'm not the one they want to kill, and I'm not the one who exposed their tracks. I can barely serve as your bodyguard.

Then I’m telling you now, I quit!

They are targeting you, and if they want to kill you, they will kill you first! After I leave you, I will find a way to escape."

Uncle Li continued to smile chillingly, but his tone became increasingly gentle.

"No, Cai Cai, you don't know them. Not to mention that you have been with us for such a long time, even if they just met you today, they will definitely kill you to silence you and wipe out the roots.

You can't escape unless you do as I say."

At this point, Uncle Li seemed to have thought of something bad. His face became gloomy and did not recover for a long time.

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, Uncle Li looked at Luo Xiaoran as if he saw a savior. His tone became more sincere and his expression became more nervous.

"Besides, Chen'er is just a child. What could he have done wrong? Someone else wanted to kill him. He was just a victim. He is innocent!

He called you "sister" all the way. He likes you so much. You like him too, right?

Can you bear to see him being brutally murdered at such a young age?"

"But isn't this exactly what you planned?

Letting Chen'er stay with me every day for these few months, even a stone would be warmed. Besides, Chen'er is so smart and well-behaved, a child that everyone loves.

You let him and I develop a relationship so that when we encounter a situation like today, you can give Chen'er a chance to survive.

But why do you think that I would fall into your trap after you have been scheming against me for so long?

If I hadn't met you, maybe I would have settled down a long time ago!" Luo Xiaoran said harshly.

In fact, Luo Xiaoran was in great pain. On the one hand, she was angry at Uncle Li's calculations, but on the other hand, she felt that Xiao Xingchen was innocent and should not be involved...

Although Luo Xiaoran was very conflicted, she still looked angry, so Uncle Li thought that they had nothing more to say to each other.

So, he used his last trump card: "Cai Cai, you seem to have eaten a lot of food tonight."

"What, was it poisoned?" Luo Xiaoran sneered and calmed down completely. Uncle Li had blocked all her ways.

“This medicine has a slow effect and will not take effect until half a year later.

Chen'er and I also ate the meal, but I had already taken the antidote, and I coaxed Chen'er to take the antidote as well.

He knows nothing, including his life experience. He is innocent. Please help me take him to Yizhou.

I will find you before the poison takes effect, give you the antidote, and take Chen'er away to give you peace."

Luo Xiaoran didn't know whether Uncle Li's poisoning was true or not.

After the end of the world, food was in short supply, and she developed a habit of not wasting food. She would usually eat only when she was 80% full.

The level of development of Daliang's cuisine is not high. Many dishes are roughly salted, and often too much, making them too salty. Luo Xiaoran once thought that Daliang's salt was worthless.

If there is something else added to the food, she may not be able to taste it.

"Okay, I promise you." Luo Xiaoran compromised, but only for herself and Chen'er. As for Uncle Li, she and him could never go back to the way they were before.

Uncle Li was like an inflated balloon that was suddenly punctured by a needle, and his entire body deflated.

He poured a cup of cold tea, gulped it down, wiped the tea stains from the corner of his mouth with his hand, and spoke slowly.

“They were determined to think we were unprepared today, so they only sent one person.

However, if the dead body under the bed does not come back to report all night, they will know that the assassination has failed and they will definitely send someone tomorrow.

There are troops stationed in Qingzhou City with strict discipline and laws. They dare not take action in Qingzhou City and will only take action when we leave the city.

We can't delay in the city. If we delay for one more day, they are likely to pass on the information about Chen'er and you, which will increase the risk.

Therefore, we must leave the city as early as possible tomorrow, lure the snake out of its hole, and then follow the clues to eliminate the root of the problem!"

Luo Xiaoran did not refute Uncle Li's words. She said calmly: "I think we can make more preparations tonight."

······

At three quarters past the hour of Mao, the defenders worked together to open the large wooden bolt on the city gate, and Luo Xiaoran and the other two, who had been waiting for a long time, immediately left the city.

Luo Xiaoran's horse was not going fast, because there was a sleepy little Xingchen in front of her. Uncle Li's carriage was not going fast either, it was moving slowly as if he was going out of the city for an outing.

They were waiting for someone, a group of killers to come to their door.

After a while, the killer really came to the door.

Luo Xiaoran thought that the main target of this group of killers was Uncle Li. After all, they knew Uncle Li, and Uncle Li had high fighting skills. Moreover, he was in a heavy carriage and was not as flexible as her.

Unexpectedly, they didn't care about Uncle Li's life or death, and swung their swords directly at themselves. No, they swung their swords directly at the little star in front of them.

Only then did Luo Xiaoran truly believe that Xiao Xingchen was an unlucky guy with a complicated identity. He was only four years old, and so many people wanted to kill him.

But they were destined to be disappointed, because the one in front was a fake. She made a dummy by stuffing something into Xiao Xingchen's clothes last night.

At this time, Uncle Li had already cut off their retreat and started killing people behind them.

When the killers in front saw that Xiao Xingchen was not on the horse, they ignored Luo Xiaoran and turned around and wanted to rush into the carriage, but were stopped by Luo Xiaoran.

Luo Xiaoran was very angry. She was deceived and threatened by Uncle Li yesterday, and now she was ignored by the killer. Why? Is her worth not high? Is she not worth killing?

The more Luo Xiaoran thought about it, the angrier she became. Her men's moves became more fierce and their actions more powerful. In a short while, she had knocked down several people.

Uncle Li also had a great harvest. Every blow of his sword drew blood. The corpses were chopped to the ground like corn stalks at harvest time.

However, there were so many killers that it was very difficult for Luo Xiaoran and Uncle Li to deal with them.

A few people who didn't notice directly lifted the curtain of the carriage, but found only some items and food piled inside, and no trace of the child.

He was horrified and thought he had fallen into a trap!

Fearing that he would fail to complete the task assigned by his superiors and be punished worse than death when he returned, he attacked Uncle Li and Luo Xiaoran again.

However, the siege on Uncle Li no longer aimed at killing him. They must be trying to capture him alive and torture him to find out the whereabouts of Xiao Xingchen.

As for Luo Xiaoran, in their eyes, Luo Xiaoran was just a bystander who could die at will, so they treated her harshly.

"careful!"
