The Reincarnation of the Beauty: The Concubine Doctor and the Conspiracy
Chapter 40: Storms Rise, Decisive Battle Imminent
Under cover of darkness, Shen Jingxuan and Yun Mengting climbed at full speed, their sense of urgency growing. Like rabid dogs scenting prey, the men in black approached like a barrage of bullets, their hooves clattering and roars echoing through the dark alleyway. They had no time to think; the only thing they could do was fight tooth and nail to find a way out.
"Hurry! Hurry!" Shen Jingxuan's voice pierced the air, like a horn shouting through silence. Their footsteps seemed particularly hurried in the silent night, quickly destroying the surrounding tranquility.
As they approached the highest point of the city wall, Yun Mengting felt a surge of despair. Looking back, she saw the man in black, fierce and ferocious, his eyes gleaming with ferocity. The tip of his sword shone icy cold in the moonlight, as if he could tear away their hope at any moment.
"Your Highness, if we are caught by them, I really don't know what will happen." Yun Mengting's voice trembled slightly. Although she was full of courage, she couldn't help feeling a little fear in her heart when facing the impending danger.
"No matter what, we must not let the enemy succeed!" Shen Jingxuan's eyes burned like flames, revealing fearless determination. He knew that this not only concerned his own fate, but also the future of the palace. They must fight with all their might.
At this moment, Yun Mengting's eyes suddenly lit up, and she pointed at the bright moon in the sky. The silver light shone down, as if giving her a glimmer of courage. "Your Highness, we can use the moonlight as cover to find a hidden path on the city wall. Perhaps we can escape successfully!"
"Good idea!" Shen Jingxuan felt a glimmer of hope, relief in his eyes. They looked at each other, quickened their pace, and ran towards the moonlit direction.
However, the men in black approached without giving them much time, several cold gazes fixed on their backs. To avoid being caught up, Shen Jingxuan and Yun Mengting could only temporarily hide in a small groove on the city wall, holding their breath and waiting for the situation to develop.
"We need to stay calm and be prepared," Shen Jingxuan whispered, his eyes always focused on the movements of the men in black, appearing extremely cautious. He knew that choosing the right time was crucial.
Not far away, a quarrel broke out among the men in black, a sense of unease spreading among them. "Chase them! They must be hiding nearby. We can't let them escape!" the leading man in black commanded anxiously, his voice tinged with anxiety and anger.
Yun Mengting's heart tightened, sensing the danger of the enemy approaching. However, she realized she had to take action to break this heavy atmosphere. She adjusted her posture slightly, raised her hand to brush away the loose hair from her forehead, and silently remembered Shen Jingxuan's determination.
"Maybe we can disguise ourselves as men in black and blend into their team." Yun Mengting suggested softly, and a bold plan quickly flashed through her mind.
"Good idea, but we have to act before the men in black notice." Shen Jingxuan nodded seriously, courage welling up in his heart. They quickly took advantage of the cover of night, leaped down from the wall, and lurked in the shadows nearby, watching the men in black's every move.
"Listen, I'll attract their attention, and you take the opportunity to sneak past from the side." Shen Jingxuan thought again and again and gradually formulated a plan. "When I speak, you act quickly."
"You have to be careful!" Yun Mengting couldn't help but worry and bit her lips. Although she was reluctant in her heart, she had no time to hesitate.
"I will, give it a try!" After Shen Jingxuan said that, he took a deep breath, resolutely walked out of the hiding place, and walked towards the man in black.
"You! Is that all you? Is there no one else?" His voice was loud and cold, penetrating into the darkness like a thorn.
The men in black turned around angrily, stunned for a moment, their eyes flashing with questioning. "Who are you? Are you talking to us?" The leading man in black frowned, secretly alert.
This was their chance. While the black-clad man's attention was diverted, Yun Mengting quietly went around from the side, keeping quiet, but the tension in her heart was invisibly tightened.
"I'm not an enemy. As long as you let me go, I will definitely serve you." Shen Jingxuan continued to pretend to be calm, trying to find a breakthrough with words.
Just as he was about to press further questions, he heard hurried footsteps. Yun Mengting finally found an opportunity and quickly threw out the potion she had prepared. In an instant, smoke filled the air and the men in black showed expressions of astonishment and panic.
"Catch them!" The leading man in black roared, as if he realized that danger was approaching. He ordered his men to rush forward, and the scene suddenly became chaotic.
"Hurry!" Shen Jingxuan commanded loudly, his eyes determined, as if he was pouring all his hope into this action. Taking advantage of the chaotic situation, the two of them quickly broke away from the encirclement, their movements agile and decisive, as if full of anticipation for the challenges ahead.
"This way!" Yun Mengting pulled Shen Jingxuan through the chaotic crowd, heading straight for a relatively dark area. They fled swiftly in the darkness, their steps as fast as lightning, their hearts as fearless as those of a predator, determined not to allow danger to consume them.
After several attempts, the two finally escaped the hidden area and breathed a sigh of relief, as if the tide of secrecy had finally turned. However, they knew that this was just a lucky escape and the real test still awaited them.
"We must find a safe place to hide and try to fight back." Shen Jingxuan took a deep breath, adjusted his state, and faced the upcoming challenge.
"Yes, we can't wait passively anymore." Yun Mengting also nodded firmly. The gradually dissipating fear made her realize that only real action and preparation can welcome the vitality of the future.
After a brief discussion, they decided to find a secluded place to temporarily rest in order to recover their strength and re-plan. The darkness at this time was full of unknown dangers, and the long-brewing struggle had just begun.
