After conveying the instructions, Xu Jinghuai could feel a little relieved and make a calm judgment, so as not to risk his life to personally lead an expedition to Fenglin City for her as he did in his previous life.

Now, a large number of Yulin Army secret guards should have set out to rescue and pursue her. The best outcome would be that they could rescue her and bring her back to the capital on the way.

However, the rain was getting heavier and heavier, and many traces would soon be washed away. Moreover, the people around her were obviously very alert, and they would hide if there was even the slightest movement.

They might not be able to find her successfully.

She looked at the bean-sized raindrops in front of her, her eyes full of sorrow.

This time, it would be great if things could turn around in Lingxiu City. If she missed Lingxiu City, she might really have to go to Fenglin City and deal with Xu Jingye.

He also had to worry about whether Xu Jinghuai would invade Fenglin City again.

Maple Forest City...

The scene of Xu Jinghuai dying in her arms appeared in her mind. The blood that kept gushing out of his pale face was like the blooming red spider lily, seeping into her heart and bones bit by bit.

In my sad and suffocating breath.

A tear fell from the corner of her eye and her whole body began to tremble slightly.

Very good, her arm regained consciousness, but her whole heart felt like it was buried in ice water, and she was so frozen that she couldn't breathe.

She thought of the bizarre dream she had not long ago.

In the dream, she always said sorry, sorry.

She was saying, and He Zhixiao was saying that day, that she was always hurting Xu Jinghuai, and the result she brought to him was always hurt.

She was angry about this statement.

But now, even though she had made all kinds of preparations and arrangements in advance, she still couldn't escape this inevitable fate. Suddenly, she understood the look in her eyes and the words of apology she said in her dream.

And him, eyes full of hatred.

I'm sorry, Xu Jinghuai... Yan Yunshu's tears rolled down again.

I always let you get hurt for me, always let you die for me, so can you, just this once, survive?

It would be better to survive.

Xu Jinghuai, don't die...

Through her tearful eyes, she felt an increasing sleepiness slowly creeping into her body.

She gradually closed her eyes.

When he was half asleep and half awake, he saw a woman and a man in a carriage. The woman got in and gave him some warm soup.

The man stood guard by the side, and after a while, the man and the woman got off the carriage together.

In a daze, as the carriage sped away, she heard the man scolding again.

"I don't know what grudge you have against her, but I warn you not to entertain any other thoughts! The prince said that you must bring her back safely, otherwise both your lives and mine will be in jeopardy!"

"If you dare to do anything, I will kill you immediately!"

……

Xu Jinghuai led the Yulin Army and stopped at a fork in the road on the outskirts of the city.

There are ruts of varying depths on the three paths, each pointing in a different direction.

Southwest, southeast, and northwest.

Which side?

Xu Jinghuai's face was as cold as ice, his eyes as frosty as he stared intently in three directions.

Finally, he looked towards the southwest and ordered the Yulin Army around him, "Divide into three groups and pursue."

Then he mounted the horse, pulled the reins, and took a group of Yulin soldiers with him, galloping towards the northwest.

As the new emperor of Tianze, it was obviously extremely dangerous for him to rush towards a route where the enemy might have set traps with only dozens of Yulin soldiers.

But in order to abduct Yan Yunshu, Xu Jingye did not hesitate to set up a big trap in the Marquis' Mansion. Even Ying Feng was killed by surprise. How could he follow the plan and take the original route? He would definitely choose a roundabout way, and this detour would definitely take him to the northwest where the terrain is more rugged.

Then, his direction is most likely correct.

But he would never let go of the remaining unknown and uncertain one-tenth or one-twelfth.

In his heart, he could not tolerate even the slightest hurt towards Yan Yunshu.

The autumn rain is getting heavier.

This autumn rain came specially and urgently. It was the heaviest rain since the autumn, and it seemed to have come deliberately to stop him.

He looked up at the sky, and his whole body seemed to be covered with a layer of oppressive frost. He didn't know what the will of heaven was, but he didn't care about that anymore.

There is only an urgent concern for the one he loves in his heart, and a desperate desire to find her.

The autumn rain came suddenly, even heavily.

Even though he was certain that Xu Jingye would not harm Yan Yunshu for the time being, he didn't know what kind of fear and terror his Yan Yunshu was suffering in that cold carriage.

What kind of despair and helplessness have we fallen into?

Whenever he thought of this, his heart was torn as if by a knife, and the pain was excruciating.

Even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, even if death is waiting for him, he has to cross it, he must cross it.

It was raining heavily.

The rain poured down from the sky like beads that had broken off the string.

It almost made Xu Jinghuai unable to see the road ahead.

It was only because the road was flat and temporarily straight ahead that he was able to keep his balance and not fall off his horse.

"Your Majesty! Your Majesty!!!"

The guards behind followed closely and shouted loudly.

But it still couldn't stop Xu Jinghuai for a moment.

"Your Majesty!!! Your Majesty!!!"

"His Majesty!"

The rain was getting heavier and the shouts from behind were getting more urgent.

Xu Jinghuai, who could no longer see the road ahead, finally tightened the reins. He took the rain cloak handed to him by the guard, looked up at the sky, and without wasting another minute, he immediately spurred his horse forward.

At this speed, they should have caught up with the carriage long ago.

However, he had to be careful not to miss any clues along the way while he was running. Even when passing a village or an intersection, he had to observe carefully and leave one or two Yulin soldiers behind before continuing on his way.

As a result, after this rapid journey, there were only less than a dozen Yulin soldiers left by his side.

The reinforcements were coming quickly, but they still couldn't catch up with Xu Jinghuai's speed.

The Yulin Army behind him could only watch the new emperor rush towards the uncertain danger without hesitation.

Sometimes, they also wondered, was she really just a girl from a noble family who had not yet married His Majesty?

That was clearly the new emperor's life, no, it was even more important than his life.

At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, dark clouds covered the horizon, and lightning and thunder began to flash.

The horses were startled and raised their hooves.

Xu Jinghuai pulled the reins, stroked the horse, and tried to persuade it to move forward.

However, the horse could not withstand the continuous lightning strikes and refused to move. Xu Jinghuai had no choice but to dismount and look forward.

The guard came to report.

"Your Majesty, in such weather, the carriage ahead should have stopped. We estimate that this place should be very close to the carriage. We can use our lightness skills to explore ahead. Your Majesty, why don't you rest for a while and wait until the rain subsides a bit before setting off again?"

"No."

Xu Jinghuai looked at the sky, tightened his cloak, and replied, "Come one or two people, follow me and move forward with Qinggong."

The guards were shocked to see that the new emperor wanted to investigate personally.

From then on, three or two Yulin soldiers followed Xu Jinghuai and traveled quickly along the way.

……

Dense rain in lush forest.

Yan Yunshu was half asleep and half awake in the stopped carriage.

I heard Xu Jinghuai's voice.

"kill!"
