The Zhennan General's Mansion is full of military generals, and their fighting ability is unquestionable, but...

If the suspect is released and then runs away or gets injured, who will be responsible?

While everyone was still struggling, Lu Xu cut off the iron lock on the car door with a knife.

Except for the women who had no martial arts skills, the men of the Chen family stepped forward, picked up the weapons worn by the corpses and rushed out to kill.

Lu Xu was wearing a black armor and holding an embroidered spring sword. He killed his way through. His body was covered in blood and it was hard to tell whether it was his or someone else's.

Seeing Xu Xingyin hiding safely behind the boulder, Lu Xu breathed a sigh of relief and then said seriously.

"The enemy has a lot of people and has been lying in ambush for a long time. It is disadvantageous for us to linger in the battle. We have discussed and decided to leave some brothers behind to escort the Crown Princess away safely first."

Given the current situation, being the last one to leave would be tantamount to committing suicide. Xu Xingyin knew this clearly, and Lu Xu understood it even better.

"The situation is extremely critical right now. Protecting the master is the duty of a subject. Please put the overall situation first, Princess."

Looking at Xu Xingyin's pale face, Lu Xu knew what she was hesitating about, but now was not the time to be merciful. He did not care about etiquette and reached out to grab Xu Xingyin's hand and walked along the preset route.

"I will apologize for the offense later."

Xu Xingyin also knew that she could not be indecisive in the current situation. She bit her lip and turned back to tell Danfeng and the others:

"Follow me closely, don't fall behind."

Seeing Xu Xingyin relax, Lu Xu finally felt relieved. He led everyone forward while giving orders.

"Teams two and three will cover the rear, and the rest of you follow me!"

Lu Xu led everyone northward. The road became more difficult to travel as they went north. The mountain path was rugged and slippery. The elderly Mrs. Chen had a hard time. She had trouble serving her two daughters-in-law and fell down without paying attention.

Xu Xingyin was frightened when he saw this, and he broke free from Lu Xu's hand and ran towards Old Madam Chen. Lu Xu was stunned for a while as he watched Xu Xingyin turn around and run back, his mind fixed on the small section of Xu Xingyin's arm that was exposed when he broke free just now.

Her uterus seal is still there...

While he was struggling between conscience and reality, Xu Xingyin had already helped Old Madam Chen up and continued on his way.

After all, the two teams had limited manpower, and even if they fought to the death, they could not stop so many people from the other side. A small number of the men in black had already bypassed the remaining troops and caught up.

Chen Yunbo led his men at the end of the team to protect them, fighting with the men in black all the way, suffering heavy casualties.

The deafening shouts of killing finally brought Lu Xu back to his senses. He led the team and ran wildly, and finally found an excellent barrier after half an incense stick of time.

The only way to survive is to cross the bridge. After crossing the bridge, cutting off the bridge body can temporarily stop the attack of the men in black.

Lu Xu organized everyone to cross the bridge, while Chen Yunbo led his men to cover the rear.

It was a suspension bridge, spanning over a bottomless canyon. Occasionally, a gust of wind would blow through the canyon, and the entire bridge would sway left and right. There was a turbulent river below, and if one fell into it...

I'm afraid there is no possibility of survival.

Fortunately, when facing life and death, the fear does not seem to be so obvious. The men in black also noticed their intentions, and a large group of people rushed over, and the fight became more and more intense.

Xu Xingyin supported Old Madam Chen and walked at the front of the team. Occasionally, one or two arrows flew over, but they were all blocked by Lu Xu who was protecting them on the side with his sword. The wooden boards of the bridge also suffered a lot of damage, and it was very difficult for the people behind to walk.

By the time the team had finally crossed the bridge, Chen Yunbo and his team had been forced to the middle of the suspension bridge by the men in black. If they moved forward a little further, the suspension bridge would completely lose its protective function.

Judging from the current combat effectiveness of both sides, it is likely that none of Xu Xingyin and his men will survive.

Chen Yunbo, who was leading several guards in a bloody battle, suddenly stopped. He looked back at the people standing on the bridge and suddenly smiled.

Xu Xingyin, who was originally supporting Old Madam Chen, subconsciously felt something was wrong. He shouted "Uncle" and rushed forward two steps.

At this time, Chen Yunbo closed his eyes slightly, and without waiting for others to react, he cut the rope of the suspension bridge with a knife.

The suspension bridge, which was held together only by ropes, collapsed with a loud bang. The people who were still fighting on the bridge fell into the valley as the bridge broke.

Lu Xu quickly dragged Xu Xingyin back a step, and Xu Xingyin lost her balance and fell heavily to the ground. She lay on the edge of the steep cliff, stretching her arms but unable to grab Chen Yunbo at all.

"Uncle!"

The mournful cry pierced the dark clouded sky, and a bolt of lightning struck, illuminating the bottomless cliff.

The severe pain in his chest almost suffocated Xu Xingyin. Tears rolled down his eyes and were carried away to the distance by the wind along with the clouds in the mountain stream.

Everything happened so fast that Chen Yunbo didn't even say a word. He only said with all his might: "Live on..."

Chen Yunbo said, survive.

Chen Yunbo knew very well that only by cutting down the suspension bridge could they survive. Xu Xingyin also knew very well, but she found it hard to accept.

But the current situation did not leave them time to say goodbye or grieve. Lu Xu was the first to react. He wiped the blood off his face with his sleeve, then reached out and roughly pulled Xu Xingyin up.

"Princess, General Chen came here to save us... Even though the bridge is broken now, they have so many people and will surely catch up in no time. We must leave immediately, otherwise General Chen's sacrifice will be in vain!"

Xu Xingyin looked at Lu Xu with empty eyes. Lu Xu had never seen Xu Xingyin so dejected. The stars in his eyes had faded, leaving only a gloomy look.

"Jiaojiao, we can't let Uncle Chen down, especially..."

He calmed himself down, ignoring the gazes of others, and held her arms with his hands, lowering his head slightly to look her in the eye, "There are still dozens of lives here."

All the weakness and sorrow fell with a tear. When he opened his eyes again, Xu Xingyin had suppressed all emotions. He reached out to support those who were still immersed in sorrow, and together with Lu Xu, he earnestly urged everyone to leave first.

People like the Zhennan General's Mansion have always been accustomed to separation and death. The temporary grief did not completely break them down, and they quickly gathered themselves and set off again.

The mountain road was slippery, and as it was getting late, the road became increasingly difficult to walk on. The jungle was so dense that it seemed as if there was no end in sight.

"We can't go any further."

In the crowd, a gentle female voice broke the quiet night, and it seemed even louder in the silent jungle.

Xu Xingyin turned around and saw Chen Yunbo’s first wife, Chen Yuanshi, whose face was so pale that it was almost transparent.

"Auntie?"
