The Princess' Rebirth and Revenge

Under the moonlight, in an empty space, Yang Xiao stood with his hands behind his back, looking particularly aloof. His face looked even more profound under the moonlight, and his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's hearts. When he saw Li Yuan, he smiled faintly and said, "You're here."

"Are you really Pengnu?" Li Yuan asked directly, with a complex light flashing in her eyes.

Yang Xiao nodded gently and did not deny: "In this world, everyone has his own mask. Pengnu is just a name I use when traveling in the world."

Li Yuan felt mixed emotions, both shocked and relieved. She slowly approached and whispered, "Whether you are Yang Xiao or Peng Niu, I only know that you are my friend."

The two smiled at each other. Just as this rare tacit understanding filled the air, a burst of hurried footsteps broke the silence. The figures of the black-clothed soldiers appeared around them like ghosts, surrounding them. Li Yuan's heart tightened, but she heard Yang Xiao whispered: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

However, facing the heavy siege, Li Yuan knew that fighting head-on was not the best strategy. She suddenly had an idea and decided to take the initiative to find a breakthrough. She looked at Yang Xiao with a determined look in her eyes: "Let's split up, I'll lead them away, and you take the opportunity to escape."

Yang Xiao frowned, obviously unwilling to let Li Yuan take the risk alone, but the current situation did not allow for much hesitation. He said in a deep voice: "Be careful, you must come back alive."

Li Yuan nodded, and in a flash, she rushed towards a weak point of the Xuanyi Army. She was agile and, with the help of the terrain, quickly led away some of the pursuers. Yang Xiao took the opportunity to break through and disappeared into the night.

Li Yuan dodged left and right in the forest, thinking about how to get rid of these pursuers. Suddenly, she had an idea and decided to use the terrain to set a simple trap. She quickly set up the forest and deliberately made a noise to lure the pursuers into the trap.

As expected, several black-clothed soldiers were lured over, but they accidentally triggered the trap set by Li Yuan, and fell into chaos for a while. Li Yuan took this opportunity, and with a flash of her body, she had already rushed several feet away, leaving the pursuers far behind.

After getting rid of the pursuers, Li Yuan did not return immediately, but decided to look for Shen Tunan and Xu Jingyi. She knew that the actions of the Xuanyi Army must be related to them, and Li Jimian's safety made her even more worried.

As the night deepened, Li Yuan shuttled between the complex palaces, silently reciting the names of Shen Tunan and Xu Jingyi in her heart, hoping to find their traces in some corner. Finally, outside a remote palace, she heard a low conversation.

She approached quietly, hid behind a pillar, and eavesdropped on their conversation.

"Brother Xu, are you sure that Jin Li's spy is nearby?" Shen Tunan's voice was a little cold.

"Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. They are coming in this direction." Xu Jingyi's voice was full of confidence.

"Okay, this time we must not let them go back alive. Set fire to the mountain and leave no one alive." Shen Tunan's words were full of determination.

Li Yuan was shocked when she heard this. Setting fire to the mountain? Wouldn't that kill everyone? She was extremely anxious, but she knew she couldn't act rashly at this moment. She had to find Li Jimian and take him away from this disaster.

Just as she was about to leave quietly to look for Li Jimian, she unexpectedly heard Peng Ni's voice.

"Brother Shentu, is this too cruel?" Peng Ni's voice was filled with a hint of doubt.

Li Yuan's heart moved, it turned out that Pengnu was also here. She hid her figure more carefully, fearing that she would be discovered.

"Brother Pengniu, you don't know. These spies from Jin Li are all experts. If we don't catch them all in one fell swoop, they will become a big problem in the future." Shen Tunan explained.

"But innocent people will also die because of this." Pengnu's voice remained persistent.

"Hmph, those who accomplish great things do not fuss about trifles. Brother Pengnu, if you don't want to participate, I won't force you. But this matter is a foregone conclusion and cannot be changed." There was a hint of unquestionableness in Shen Tunan's words.

Li Yuan was extremely anxious. She knew that time was running out and she had to act quickly. She quietly left her hiding place and decided to look for Li Jimian. However, she had just taken a few steps when she bumped into a figure.

"Who?" the figure whispered, obviously also startled.

Li Yuan looked closely and saw that it was Li Jimian. She was delighted and quickly grabbed his hand: "Brother, let's go, it's not safe here."

Li Jimian looked confused: "What's wrong? What happened?"

"Shen Tunan and Xu Jingyi are planning to set fire to the mountain. We have to leave quickly." Li Yuan explained briefly.

Li Jimian's face changed when he heard this: "How dare they? Isn't this going to put everyone to death?"

"Don't ask, let's go." Li Yuan pulled Li Jimian and ran towards the forest. She knew that time was running out and every moment was crucial.

In the forest, the night was as dark as ink. Li Yuan and Li Jimian shuttled between the shadows of the trees, trying to avoid the patrol routes of the Xuanyi Army. However, as the fire spread, the animals in the forest began to flee, making their whereabouts more difficult to hide.
