Chapter 201

Chu Qinghe's body couldn't stop shaking, she didn't know whether it was too cold or too painful, her pale face was like a crumbling little white flower in the rainstorm, she was glad that she was wearing a black dress today, even if there was blood on her body, she couldn't see it .

Ying Yi knelt on one knee with his back to her, "Princess, I will carry you on my back."

The two secret guards who were sent out to investigate came back with serious expressions, "Go quickly, the officers and soldiers of the Zhou Kingdom are here."

Originally, when they fled to Chongshan, the officers and soldiers of Zhou State had always suspected that unknown people had mixed into Chongshan, and searched for several days. If it weren't for the local people, they would have been caught.

Chu Qinghe wasn't hypocritical anymore, she would definitely be held back by her current situation, she swiftly climbed onto Yingyi's back, "Hurry up."

A group of people fled in embarrassment under the rain.

The flames in the distance are getting closer and closer, the encirclement is shrinking imperceptibly, and there are more and more torches dotted around.

The big trees in the mountains are good shelters, but the dirt road hinders their actions.

"Follow me." A child wearing a coir raincoat suddenly appeared in front of him, timidly showing his small body from behind a big tree, which was a little weird.

"Captain, follow him, they saved me."

Ying Yi weighed the pros and cons, they are not familiar with mountain roads, it would be much easier to have someone to take them with them, "Let's go!"

The child led them around, escaped the patrols, and came to the residential area.

"Mother, I'm back." The child slipped into his mother's arms.

The aunt was not surprised by the arrival of the group, "Come in."

Ying put Chu Qinghe down and said, "Master?" He didn't dare to reveal Chu Qinghe's identity.

"Go in." Now there is no other choice, they have saved the dark guards for no reason, and now they will kill them.

A large group of people crowded into a small room.

"The basement can only hide five people at most, which one of you is hiding here?"

The secret guards stayed aside and waited for arrangements.

Ying Yi said, "Master, I, Thirteen, and the two of you." He pointed to two people with the best martial arts skills.

Ying Thirteen silently walked out from the back of the line.

Only then did Chu Qinghe realize that Ying Shisan was dressed as a girl today, and her clothes were exactly the same.

Now is not a good time to get to the bottom of it, she suppressed the doubts in her heart.

Auntie, "You guys hide first, and I will take you to hide in another house for the others."

...

Hiding in the basement, Chu Qinghe finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Five people were crowded in the small basement. Chu Qinghe felt that his knees and hands were numb from pain.

Yingyi noticed that her hand was soaked in water, and the wound was slightly turned outward, so he tore off a piece of clothes without saying a word, and wrapped it around Chu Qinghe's hand.

"Bang bang bang——" The huge knock on the door suddenly made the five people alert.

"Open the door, open the door," came an impatient voice from outside the door.

The aunt shouted, "Here we come."

A group of officers and soldiers stood outside the door.

The aunt trembled slightly, and she stepped forward to flatter her and said, "Master, why is it raining so hard?"

The leading team leader pushed her away fiercely, "Get up."

A group of people rushed into the house.

The aunt was pushed to the ground, and the little boy ran over crying, "Mother, mother."

The aunt held the child in her arms, "Be good, don't be afraid, don't be afraid."

The officers and soldiers searched the house for a while, smashing everything that could be smashed.

There was no sound of broken porcelain and tables and chairs being kicked apart.

"It's really unlucky. There's nothing."

"Hey," the officer and the soldier fiercely took out their knives, "Have there been any strange people here today?"

The aunt shrank her neck timidly and shook her head.

"You must report any outsiders coming, you know?" the officer said viciously, and even made a gesture of wiping his neck.

The aunt nodded quickly, and the little boy in her arms looked at them in fear.

"Let's go search the next house."

After the officers and soldiers left, the aunt put away the fear on her face, stood up from the ground calmly, and walked to the basement entrance, "Let's go, I'll take you out."

Chu Qinghe and the others came out of the basement like thieves and glanced at the house. It was a mess and there was no place to set foot.

"There is a secret passage near the center to go out, you follow me."

Chu Qinghe took out an ingot of gold, "Thank you!"

The aunt returned the gold, "You are welcome, you don't need this thing here."

She carried the child into the secret room, "Little Treasure is here waiting for me to come back, good boy."

Then he said to Chu Qinghe, "Let's go."

...

The aunt led them to the hidden mountain forest, only then did Chu Qinghe realize that many people had gathered here.

Seeing her coming, they knelt down one after another. She was a little puzzled, whether her identity had been exposed, why these people...

"your Highness--"

As expected, Shadow One looked at the group vigilantly, his hand was already quietly holding the hilt of his sword.

The aunt quickly explained, "The crown prince of the state of Zhou has just issued a warrant to arrest you, so run away."

It turned out that the king of Zhou was exposed.

Chu Qinghe saluted everyone, "I, Chu Qinghe, will never forget your kindness today. I will definitely repay you in the future."

Someone in the crowd said, "His Royal Highness has already sacrificed his life for the country, Princess, you must return to the capital smoothly."

"It's not too late, let's go quickly."

With the protection of the common people, Chu Qinghe went much smoother along the way.

The rain has gradually stopped, and it seems that everything is going well.

Chu Qinghe and the others had already reached the door of the secret passage, as long as they entered, they could escape.

The sky was full of flames in the distance, and there was a burning smell in the dark night. The fire in the residential area where they had just hid was spreading wantonly. The houses were originally made of wood. Mars, that is explosive combustion.

Chu Qinghe still remembered that the children of the aunt's family were hiding in the basement.

She looked at these people, but no one spoke. She knew that the parents of these people's children might stay in the house.

Such a big fire is probably very dangerous.

She clicked on the members of the secret guard. Many of them had risked their lives in order to distract the pursuers, and now there were only 30 people left.

She hesitated whether to go back, these are the people of her state of Chu, she couldn't bear to see their sacrifices in vain.

"Princess, let's go." The aunt endured the grief in her heart. Her little treasure was probably gone. The people in the Zhou Kingdom were really insane. Now they have no use value, and everything will be destroyed by such a fire.

"Princess, let's go!" More and more people echoed.

Chu Qinghe glanced at the ink-like sky, with a crystal teardrop left in the corner of his eye, is God playing with her, whether it should rain or not, it rains when it shouldn't.

The rain tonight put her in danger, and now she needed heavy rain to extinguish the fire, but the rain stopped. It was really ironic.

Her state of Chu was not defeated by humans, but by the time of day.

The royal family of Chu State are not favored by heaven.

She gritted her teeth and made up her mind, "Everyone come with me and escape."

"it is good--"

"Yes, let's go together. Zhou Guo must think we are dead."

There was determination in Chu Qinghe's eyes, "Let's go to the capital together, together."

She took one last look at the thick smoke in the distance, and entered the secret passage without looking back.
