Resisting the Wind and Splendor

"Take your time, there's no need to rush."

But Chu Yueli's expression changed slightly after she said this.

Lu Yunfei hadn't discovered any problems yet; all his attention was focused on how to get out of the mud.

Because Lei Xiao didn't move, he, like Chu Yueli, heard the commotion outside very clearly.

Oh no! Someone's coming!

"Someone's there! There's someone over there!" It was a Khitan soldier. Two patrolling soldiers shouted loudly after seeing someone in the grass.

"Are King Mo's men about to come out?"

"They're from the Central Plains!"

"It's a woman!"

"Quickly! Call the archers over!"

"Quickly! Notify the archers!"

Chu Yue felt a sudden sinking feeling in her heart.

The pronunciation of the word "archer" was surprisingly similar to that of the Central Plains, and she understood it.

Lu Yunfei and Lei Xiao heard it clearly!

Lu Yunfei felt a sudden panic. He lost his balance and sank even deeper into the mud.

Even Lei Xiao, who had just been pulled halfway out by him, felt his body slowly sinking again.

"Yunfei! Don't lose your rhythm! Keep climbing!" Chu Yueli urged.

Lu Yunfei was even more anxious than her: "They're going to send archers over!"

The Khitan soldiers were also afraid of the swamp, so they dared not come over rashly. But when the archers arrived, all three of them would be trapped here and die.

"Fourth Princess, tie the strip of cloth to the weeds. You go first, and we'll come find you when we get out!" Lu Yunfei gritted his teeth, looking anxious.

If we don't leave now, it might be too late!

Chu Yueli tugged at the grass under her feet, but although the grass looked very tall, it was actually quite soft in the soil.

She shook her head at Lu Yunfei: "It can't be tied up, it's not secure at all! You keep climbing, don't worry about it, I'll handle it."

Archers are on their way; the sound of their hurried footsteps is becoming increasingly clear.

Lu Yunfei was still anxious, but the more anxious he became, the less he could get up there.

He was almost ready to give up!

"Fourth Princess, hurry and go! Don't worry about us." The archers really came; they were visible to the naked eye, without even needing to hear their footsteps.

Even Lei Xiao joined in, advising, "Your Highness, you should go first!"

"Fourth Imperial Sister-in-law!"

"No need to say anything more!" Chu Yueli turned around, facing the approaching Khitan army, and suddenly tied the strip of cloth around her waist.

"Yunfei, keep climbing, I'll watch over you."

With a whoosh, the long, flexible sword was in his hand.

She faced the cold wind, watching the increasing number of Khitan soldiers rushing towards her. With her long, soft sword in hand, her slender body never retreated even a step.

Lu Yunfei gritted his teeth and continued climbing.

No matter how hard he tries, his speed is limited. If he is too anxious, he will sink again.

The archers arrived, countless arrows aimed at Chu Yueli.

The Khitan soldiers were talking incoherently, and Chu Yueli couldn't answer them.

But the situation is clearly becoming increasingly tense.

Finally, someone spoke in the Central Plains dialect: "Young lady, are you the assassin who broke into the military camp last night? Where is my princess? Hand her over at once!"

Chu Yueli looked at the face in the distance, but didn't recognize the person.

It seems that Yuwen Shu and Master Mo are not here for the time being.

Perhaps she can use this to buy herself some time!

With a slight thought, she immediately said, "Yuwen Ying is indeed in our hands. If you want to know where she is, call Yuwen Shu to see me! Otherwise, Yuwen Ying will surely die!"
