Even women who travel through time can become prime ministers and nobles.

Shen Yanchu and Li Changyu cautiously wandered around the town for a long time. The rampage of the thugs had plunged the entire town into chaos and danger, and every step was fraught with uncertainty.

They remained vigilant, constantly watching their surroundings. A tense atmosphere permeated the streets, and fear and anxiety were etched on people's faces. Occasionally, the figures of rioters would flash by, their shouts and the sounds of fighting echoing in the air.

Despite their perilous situation, Shen Yanchu and Li Changyu did not give up. They knew that only by finding a safe way out of the city could they escape this nightmare. After a long and arduous search, they finally discovered a hidden path, which might be their only hope of escaping this place.

Night fell, and darkness enveloped the entire town. Shen Yanchu and Li Changyu decided to take advantage of the darkness and, under the cover of night, quietly slip out of town along the hidden path. Their hearts raced, their steps were light yet firm, and their hearts were filled with a longing for freedom and safety.

In the darkness, they groped their way forward. The trees and buildings on either side of the path seemed like grotesque monsters, ready to pounce at any moment. But they did not back down; supporting each other, they moved forward step by step.

Finally, they saw a light ahead, the direction leading out of the city. They quickened their pace, making sure there was no danger along the way, and Shen Yanchu formed a plan in her mind.

"Young Master Li, let's split up. It's getting dark. You go back and lead everyone out of the city. I'll go and tell the people in the city to evacuate. We'll meet up in the woods about ten miles outside the city. Remember to protect Miss Shi and the others."

After Shen Yanchu finished speaking, he used his lightness skill to notify each household. Many people did not believe what he said, thinking their homes were safe and unwilling to leave. He did not say much, but went to notify the next household.

When Li Changyu returned to the dilapidated temple, he learned that Miss Shi and the others had awakened. Cui Yu'an looked behind him for a long time but did not see Shen Yanchu.

“Young Master Cui, Young Master Shen has gone to inform the city to evacuate the people. He told me to take the fire and evacuate the town first. Those refugees are already bloodthirsty and it's not safe to stay here any longer. Young Master Shen and I have found a way out of the city. Master Liu, pack up quickly, we'll set off immediately.”

Master Liu immediately got everyone moving, packing up their belongings and harnessing the horses and carriages. Cui Yu'an was very worried about Shen Yanchu's situation, but right now they had to protect Miss Shi out of the city first. That kid was cunning and had his own ways of protecting himself.

Shi Wanxia was pale and leaned weakly against the young woman. She slightly raised her hand, gesturing for the young woman to help her sit up. The young woman carefully helped her up, and Shi Wanxia slowly lifted the curtain, her eyes revealing a hint of anxiety and worry.

"Brother Li, why hasn't Brother Shen come back? Could something have happened to him?" Shi Wanxia's voice trembled slightly as she stared intently at Brother Li, hoping to get an answer from him.

Seeing Shi Wanxia's anxious expression, Brother Li felt a pang of pity. He sighed softly and said, "Miss Wanxia, ​​don't worry too much. Brother Shen is highly skilled in martial arts; he should be fine. Besides, he's going to rescue people. There's a riot going on, and people are committing all sorts of atrocities and slaughtering innocent civilians in the city. Your Brother Shen is going to rescue people; he'll meet up with us outside the city. You should focus on recovering first; you don't need to worry so much."

After hearing Brother Li's words, Shi Wanxia felt a little more at ease. She knew Brother Shen's abilities and believed he would definitely return safely. However, her heart was still filled with guilt and self-blame.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't acted rashly, Brother Shen wouldn't have been in danger." Tears welled up in Shi Wanxia's eyes, and her voice was filled with remorse.

Brother Li comforted her, "Miss Shi, don't blame yourself too much. It's not your fault, and Brother Shen will definitely understand you. What we need to do now is patiently wait for his return."

Shi Wanxia nodded, wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes, and took a deep breath. She knew that she could no longer be weak; she had to be strong and wait for Brother Shen's return.

Night fell, and the moonlight, like water, bathed the earth. At Cui Yu'an's command, the convoy slowly set off. The sound of the wheels rolling was exceptionally clear in the quiet night, as if it were the rhythm of the convoy's progress.

Along the way, several refugees appeared from time to time, their eyes filled with despair and madness, recklessly intercepting and causing trouble. However, Li Changyu, wielding a longsword, moved with agility, each swing carrying a sharp and powerful aura, cutting down those refugees. His swordsmanship was as swift as lightning, leaving the onlookers breathless.

Under the moonlight, Li Changyu's figure appeared exceptionally tall, his eyes resolute and cold, as if he were protecting the safety of the caravan. His sword was stained with blood, but his movements did not falter in the slightest, continuing to slay those enemies who dared to challenge him.

Under the cover of moonlight, the convoy continued its advance, leaving behind a trail of corpses and the fear of the refugees. They knew that as long as Li Changyu was there, no one could stop their advance.

Li Changyu sat in the carriage, his gaze fixed firmly ahead. He guided the coachman as they navigated the intricate town. Luoxia Street was the town's name; due to its long history, its layout was complex and labyrinthine.

Along the way, many families, laden with belongings, were hurriedly fleeing the town. Their faces were filled with fear and anxiety, their eyes revealing uncertainty and unease about the future. Children clung tightly to their parents, clutching their most precious possessions. The elderly, however, walked with faltering steps, supporting each other as they went.

Looking at these people, Li Changyu felt a surge of pity. He knew that these people had been forced to leave their homes because of this sudden riot; they didn't know what the future held, or whether they would ever find a safe place. He sighed deeply, then turned back to guide the groom forward.

Finally, they found the secret path leading out of the city. The path was hidden in a forest, its entrance concealed by dense vegetation. If Li Changyu hadn't been familiar with the terrain, it would have been difficult to find this path.

The carriage slowly drove out of the town and headed into the distance. Li Changyu glanced back at the town before heading to the meeting place agreed upon with Shen Yanchu.

In a small grove on the outskirts of the city, the group waited for almost an hour, but Shen Yanchu still hadn't appeared. Cui Yu'an was restless, pacing back and forth, making Li Changyu dizzy.

"Young Master Cui, don't worry. Young Master Shen is resourceful, has a distinguished bearing, and is quite capable. Everything will be alright. Just wait patiently!"

Although Li Changyu verbally reassured Cui Yu'an, he himself was filled with worry for Shen Yanchu's safety. The bright moon hung high in the silent night sky, casting its cool light upon the distant official road. Li Changyu stood there quietly, gazing into the distance, his mind a jumble of thoughts.

He worried whether Shen Yanchu had encountered any danger and whether he could return safely. This worry made him extremely anxious and uneasy, but he also knew that worrying wouldn't solve anything. He could only silently pray that everything would go well for Shen Yanchu.

In the stillness of the night, Li Changyu's heart was as deep as the night sky. He recalled the moments he had shared with Shen Yanchu, those laughter and joys now precious memories. He knew Shen Yanchu was a strong and brave person, but anyone could feel helpless and fearful when faced with unknown dangers.

The official road in the distance looked particularly desolate under the moonlight, as if it were a road leading to the unknown.
