Time travel, quick transmigration

“Aman, hand him over to Haiyue, and you and I will ride together. I’m not a good rider either, so you can take me with you.”

Seeing that there were only five horses on site, Shi Yan made arrangements.

Aman did as he was told, releasing Li Longji and handing him over to Haiyue.

Haiyue then pressed down on Li Longji's arm.

“My lord, since we are leaving, taking him along would only be a burden. Why not end this tyrant's reign here? It would be doing a good deed for the people of the world…”

After hearing Haiyue's words, Li Longji simply stared at Shi Yan in silence.

Shi Yan received a look from Li Longji and found him somewhat pitiful. She despised Li Longji's character and behavior, but she never intended to kill him.

"Taking him along will give us more leverage. At least in the absence of safety, we will have to keep him with us and ensure his safety. If Chen Xuanli and his men care about the emperor's safety, they will definitely be wary."

Haiyue nodded, indicating his agreement with Shi Yan.

Before long, A-Rang and the other three caught up. At Hai-Yue's signal, they immediately mounted three of the horses, and gave him the last one.

"You go first."

Aman then stepped on the stirrup and flipped over to sit in front of Shi Yan.

"The pursuers are here."

Hai Yue watched the approaching army of six generals and soldiers, then patted the back of the horse beneath Shi Yan. The horse neighed in pain and charged forward like an arrow.

Li Longji watched helplessly as the chestnut horse carried Shi Yan away from his sight, getting further and further away from him. At the same time, he felt a mix of sadness and relief.

Even though Shi Yan overturned his beliefs and almost shattered his pride and dignity as a ruler, he knew clearly that if possible, he still couldn't bear to see the person he wanted to spend his life with die.

When A-Rang and the others saw Shi Yan being led away by a horse, they all looked at Hai Yue in unison. At his signal, they spurred their horses and followed after Shi Yan.

"Haiyue, be careful, don't get hurt!"

Shi Yan only had time to turn around and shout at Hai Yue before her horse led her around a bend and onto a mountain path, where she could no longer see what was behind her.

Seeing Chen Xuanli and the others leading the six armies in pursuit, Hai Yue's eyes narrowed, and with a swift movement, he threw Li Longji onto the horse's back. Li Longji had never suffered such torment before; he felt as if his internal organs had been displaced. He struggled to look up at Hai Yue.

"Release me quickly, and perhaps you will have a chance to live."

“You are only a burden to me by carrying me around. It’s better that she’s gone. I will pretend that she is no longer in this world. Put me down and escape on your own.”

Haiyue hesitated, clearly struggling, but then thought that Li Longji might be playing a trick, so he ignored him, mounted his horse, and galloped away before Chen Xuanli's six armies arrived.

Seeing that the person who was about to catch up with Li Longji was riding away, Chen Xuanli was quite annoyed and immediately gave an order.

"Hear my command! Quickly annihilate the enemy and rescue His Majesty safely... Kill the wicked concubine, stabilize the country, and appease the people... Pursue!"

Chen Xuanli was highly respected among the six armies. Moreover, the soldiers of the six armies already harbored many grievances and dissatisfactions with the Yang siblings. Upon hearing Chen Xuanli's order, everyone immediately responded and chased after Shi Yan, Hai Yue, and the others who had fled.

Hearing the sound of hooves and shouts of battle behind him, Hai Yue was distracted and drew his bow to shoot an arrow behind him. As expected, he was a master of shooting and never missed a shot. He fired several arrows in succession, each hitting the pursuing cavalryman.

Even after seeing his comrades die by his arrows, the hundreds of cavalry behind him continued to pursue him relentlessly, firing countless arrows at him. Hai Yue quickened his pace while dodging the arrows from behind.

"You dog emperor, it seems your ministers and soldiers don't care much about you. They know you're in my hands, yet they keep shooting arrows at me. Aren't they afraid of being harmed by stray arrows?"

His words were extremely sarcastic, and Li Longji almost vomited blood and fainted.

Fortunately, Haiyue has never slacked off in all these years. Not only is he agile, but his horsemanship and archery skills are also exceptional. Even with Li Longji by his side, he is very capable.

Shi Yan and A Man led the way, followed closely by A Rang and the other three. The group traveled for a while, but halfway there they encountered the army of Crown Prince Li Heng, who had quelled the rebellion and was coming to join Li Longji and Chen Xuanli.

Li Heng recognized Shi Yan and had already spoken with ministers like Chen Xuanli, who were close to Li Longji. Seeing Shi Yan fleeing with her maid and several Kunlun slaves, he immediately realized what was happening. Gazing at Shi Yan's stunning beauty and elegant demeanor, he recalled that he had only seen her a few times before, though he had admired Yang Yuhuan's beauty and charm. He remembered her captivating dance, especially the enchanting "Rainbow Feather Dress Dance," which had haunted his dreams. Previously, when Chen Xuanli and others proposed executing Yang Yuhuan, he had agreed to it to avoid revealing his own selfish motives and incurring public wrath. But now, encountering this beauty, Crown Prince Li Heng couldn't help but have second thoughts.

Such an unparalleled beauty, his brother Prince Shou could have, his father the emperor could have, why couldn't he?

"The beautiful woman ahead is my father's concubine, Lady Yang. If you capture her, I will reward you handsomely. Remember, capture her alive, do not harm her!"

At Crown Prince Li Heng's command, the soldiers below responded loudly, looking eager to rush towards Shi Yan.

Shi Yan frowned as she looked at the group of menacing people ahead and thought of the pursuers chasing after her.

"My lord, I will protect you and help you get through this."

Aman tightened his grip on the reins, displaying a resolute determination as if he were facing certain death.

Shi Yan couldn't bear to let A Man sacrifice himself to protect her.

"Xiao Ba, Xiao Ba, is there any way to escape safely?"

At this critical juncture, Shi Yan had no choice but to ask 0804 for help.

0804 had actually been monitoring the situation through Shi Yan's divine sense the whole time, and immediately responded when he heard Shi Yan's summons.

"Don't rush, it'll be quick, just a little while."

Shi Yan was puzzled.

"What do you mean 'soon' or 'a little while'? You should be more specific."

0804's ambiguous words left Shi Yan confused and somewhat annoyed.

"I'm coming……"

As soon as 0804 finished speaking, Shi Yan looked in confusion and saw the person she had been thinking about day and night not far away, dressed in black, riding a white horse and leading the way, leading several thousand lightly armored cavalrymen with Jiang He and others, galloping in their direction.

"Ayan!"

As Xiao Huanling gazed at the woman he had longed for day and night, he couldn't help but call out her name from afar. Receiving a response from her eyes, Xiao Huanling's eyes instantly welled up with endless affection, fervor, and the most genuine worry.

The moment Shi Yan saw Xiao Huanling appear, her unsettled heart was completely calmed down. How could Shi Yan not be moved when the person she loved arrived at her most critical moment like a god descending from heaven?

Upon receiving Xiao Huanling's gaze, Shi Yan smiled slightly and nodded.

“Aman, we’ll all be fine. You don’t need to risk your life for me. A-Ling is here, and we can all leave safely.”

Upon hearing this, Aman glanced at Xiao Huanling and nodded emphatically.

"Yes, Master, with Young Master Xiao here, I believe he will definitely not let anything happen to you."

Crown Prince Li Heng was quite surprised when Xiao Huanling appeared with his troops. He was especially furious to see his trusted confidant exchanging glances with his father's concubine. He immediately turned around and stared at Xiao Huanling and his men.
