Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi nodded gratefully. They knew that they were lucky to meet Princess Ning'an. However, they did not know that this escape would be full of hardships and dangers.

The convoy continued to move forward, but the good times did not last long. They were soon attacked by the rebels. The rebels attacked like a storm and surrounded the convoy. For a moment, swords flashed, blood and flesh flew everywhere, and Princess Ning'an's convoy was caught in a bitter battle.

Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi hid in the carriage, trembling with fear. They heard screams and the sound of swords fighting outside, and their hearts were filled with fear and despair. However, at this moment, they heard Princess Ning'an's voice: "Don't be afraid, I will protect you!"

Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi felt a warm current in their hearts when they heard this. They knew that Princess Ning'an was a brave and strong woman, and she would definitely do her best to protect their safety.

However, despite Princess Ning'an's heroic efforts, her convoy could not withstand the fierce attack of the rebels. Soon, several guards were chopped down by the rebels in a pool of blood. Seeing this, Princess Ning'an's eyes flashed with determination. She knew that she was powerless to save the situation. In order to avoid being captured and humiliated by the rebels, she resolutely decided to commit suicide.

"Hurry up and leave!" Princess Ning'an said to the maid beside her, "Take my son with you and run away! Remember, you must protect him well!"

The maid burst into tears when she heard this. She knew that Princess Ning'an was using her life to buy them a chance to escape. She nodded, picked up Princess Ning'an's son, and rushed out of the carriage.

However, as soon as they rushed out of the carriage, they were discovered by the rebels. In an instant, swords and arrows rained down, and the maid and Princess Ning'an's son were hacked to death in a pool of blood.

Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi hid in the carriage and witnessed the tragedy. Their hearts were filled with grief and anger, but they also strengthened their determination to escape. They knew that only if they survived would they have a chance to avenge Princess Ning'an and her son.

At this moment, Dong suddenly rushed into the carriage. Her face was covered with blood and dirt, and her eyes were shining with determination. She said to Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi: "Quick! Follow me! I found a chance to escape!"

Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi nodded, and they followed Dong and rushed out of the carriage. However, as soon as they rushed out of the carriage, they were discovered by the rebels. For a moment, arrows rained down, swords flashed, and they were in a life-and-death situation.

Seeing this, Dong immediately protected Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi behind her. She used her body to block the rebels' attack, giving Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi a chance to survive. However, she was also seriously injured and fell in a pool of blood.

"Mrs. Dong!" Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi exclaimed, and they rushed forward and helped Mrs. Dong up. However, Mrs. Dong was already dying, and her eyes were shining with reluctance and worry.

"Fifth Princess, His Highness Wenzhi...you must live..." Dong said with difficulty, "Remember...you must avenge Princess Ning'an and her son..."

After saying this, Dong closed her eyes and left this world forever. Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi hugged Dong's body and cried bitterly. They knew that Dong died to protect them, and they would never forget her kindness.

However, they had no time to grieve at this moment, because the rebels had already rushed up and surrounded them. Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi looked at each other, and then resolutely rushed out of the encirclement.

Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi trudged through the wilderness with difficulty, their clothes were ragged, their faces were covered with dirt and sweat, but their eyes were extremely firm, as if no matter what difficulties they encountered, they could not stop them from moving forward.

On this day, they came to an open meadow. The sun shone on the meadow, making it look particularly bright. However, on this bright meadow, they encountered a cavalry team. This team was led by a general wearing armor and looking heroic. He was Li Jimian.

Li Jimian saw Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi, two ragged children, at first glance. He frowned and thought: Why are these two children here? Are they refugees?

He waved his hand, signaling his cavalry to capture the two children. The cavalry immediately rushed forward and surrounded Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi.

"Who are you? Why are you here?" Li Jimian asked sternly.

Li Yuan and Li Wenzhi looked at each other, their hearts filled with tension and fear. However, they knew that at this moment, they had to remain calm, otherwise they would fall into an irretrievable situation.

Li Yuan took a deep breath, then mustered up the courage to say, "We are the children of the founding marquis Meng Zhong. My name is Meng Wu, and this is my brother Meng Shiyi. We have fled here because of the war, and we beg the general to take us in!"
