As soon as she opened her eyes, she was forcibly carried back to the East Palace by the paranoid pri

As night fell, there were minions patrolling with torches in Yishan, and the cries of birds and beasts, which was particularly creepy.

Xiaohu was holding a basin full of water and carrying a package that looked like it contained medicine.

A small thug stopped him halfway, looked at Xiaohu with a sly look, and spit out the dry grass he had been holding in his mouth, "Hey, why are you going to the room where the woman is locked up in the middle of the night? Are you thinking of stealing her?"

The little minion felt like a scholar because he said an idiom and touched his bearded chin.

"How could I possibly do such a thing?!" Xiaohu was so surprised that a few drops of water spilled out of the wooden basin. He quickly held it with both hands to steady it, and then explained, "Her ankle injury got worse, so I had to apply medicine twice a day."

The little minion sighed, put his hand on Xiaohu's shoulder, and said with a little disdain, "Such a small injury, but you make it into a big deal. You are indeed a spoiled lady from a noble family."

He then pushed Xiaohu again, and seeing him stagger and about to fall, he laughed so hard that his shoulders shook, and his words were full of malice, "Go ahead."

Xiaohu is usually a coward, and even needs to be forced by others to kill someone. Over time, others bully him when they are in a bad mood, but because he is the only one who knows medical skills, they will not go too far.

Xiaohu didn't resist or say anything. He just held the wooden basin and rushed towards He Yue's house.

In fact, he was terrified. It was the first time for him to do such a daring thing. He never thought of running away because he felt that he could not run away and he had nowhere to go. Besides, he had a dirty hand and he had been forced to kill several people in this robbery den.

But killing is killing, and the moment the blood flows, the sin is covered on him.

He first went outside the house under the cover of night and opened the locked window, then went into the house and closed the door tightly.

He Yue stood up immediately, looking excited, and called his name, "Xiao Hu."

Xiaohu put the package on the bed, took out a set of men's clothes and a pair of smaller shoes, then took a few steps back and squatted in the corner with his back to her.

"Madam, please change your clothes. Your clothes are too conspicuous and it will be difficult for you to escape. I'm sorry for putting you in such trouble." Xiaohu's voice was muffled.

He Yue was not a pretentious person. She quickly took off her luxurious clothes, leaving only her inner garment, and changed into brown men's clothes. She stuffed all the silver bills hidden in her cuffs into the sleeves of her new clothes. She couldn't forget these as they were the capital for her future life.

She took off all the pearl hairpins on her head, casually tied her hair into a men's hairstyle with a cloth strip, and picked out a few gold hairpins that were not too conspicuous and stuffed them into the package.

"I'm fine, Xiaohu, turn around." He Yue saw that Xiaohu's ears were turning red.

Xiaohu turned around, and as expected, his face turned completely red. He nodded, "I... let's go out through the window and take the back mountain road."

He Yue looked at him with a smile and replied softly, "I believe you and I will listen to you in everything."

Xiaohu had unknown emotions flowing in his heart. He looked up and saw He Yue's pretty face that couldn't be concealed even by her coarse clothes. His voice stuttered.

"Madam, please cover your face. It's too conspicuous." Xiaohu scratched his head uncomfortably. He thought that the robbers in this mountain had actually been very good to He Yue. Most of the credit was due to her face. They all wanted to capture her and make her their concubine.

In the past, those murderous robbers would just throw the hostages in the woodshed and make sure they didn't die.

He Yue casually rubbed some dust on the wall with her hands, then smeared it on her face, making her pretty face dark black. "Is it ok?"

Xiaohu nodded in affirmation, put on the package, and moved the table under the window. He said firmly, "Madam, please go out first. I will support you!"

He Yue walked a few steps to the window, then with the help of Xiaohu's outstretched hand, she stepped onto the table, then sat on the window. Looking at the dark scenery outside, she jumped down and landed steadily on the ground. Except for a slight pain in her left foot, she felt indescribably happy in her heart. The cold wind was proof of her freedom.

Xiao Hu followed closely and also jumped out of the window. He walked a few steps ahead of He Yue and lowered his voice, "Madam, follow me closely."

"Yes." He Yue replied in a low voice.

The two walked on the grass and headed towards the back mountain.

After a while, there were dense flames and noise at the foot of the mountain.

A minion screamed, "Oh no! Someone is attacking!"

"It's soldiers! We are surrounded!"

Xiaohu hesitated. A few more steps ahead would lead to the path at the back of the mountain. He spoke vaguely, "Could the Madam be here to see you? Should we continue?"

He Yue's face changed drastically. She looked indifferent for no reason in the darkness, and said in a serious tone, "We must leave, leave quickly, otherwise we won't be able to leave."

"Xiao Hu, if you are caught, you will die. If I am caught, my fate will not be much better, so let's run away while the chaos is going on!"

Xiaohu realized something was wrong. The group of soldiers should have come to rescue her, but she was not happy at all. Instead, she acted very indifferent. But now was not the time to think about this. He Yue was right about one thing. If he was caught, he would most likely end up dead.

Xiaohu's pace quickened, and He Yue followed closely despite the pain in her feet. The pain in her feet was only temporary, but this was the only chance!

If you don't run now, you won't have any chance!

…………

The officers and soldiers rushed up the mountain, shouting and killing. It was obvious that this group of robbers were no match for them, and they heard cries for mercy.

The robber leader was stepped on by Guard Zhang, and the sword pierced the robber leader's palm, nailing him firmly to the ground.

The robber leader's body twisted in pain, and he opened his mouth to breathe, "I surrender! Don't kill me!"

Guard Zhang stepped on his other hand and said sternly, "Where is the woman you kidnapped imprisoned?!"

"If you don't tell me, I'll kill you right now!"

The leader of the robbers still thought that they were Bai Huixian's men and was greatly shocked. How could Bai Huixian have the ability to mobilize officers and soldiers? How did he get involved with such a terrifying person!

He pointed to the direction of the room where He Yue had been staying, and felt like his hands were going to break. "Over there, I locked her up there, without any abuse. Let go of my hands, please!"

Guard Zhang drew his sword, and as the robber leader looked relieved, he stabbed it into his chest, then rushed in that direction.

Guard Zhang was an expert in torture and could tell that the robber leader was not lying, so his value was exhausted and he was going to die sooner or later anyway.
