Qin Yining held Brother Xuan in his arms and leaned against the soft pillow in the carriage. He frowned and said softly, "Don't worry. Let's take action first and wait and see what happens."
"Yes." Ji Yun nodded. Even though she felt uneasy, seeing Qin Yining so calm and knowing that Jinghu Wei and the spies were still around, she relaxed a little.
However, Qin Yining had a bad feeling. She had always been a sensitive person. Staying in the mountains, she had a clear sense of danger. She had used this sense to avoid many dangers.
This time, when she was talking to Magistrate Chen, she made the decision to leave Golden Harbor immediately. When she returned home, she hurriedly ordered people to make preparations and fled with her men. At this moment, she was still in a state of panic, as if a knife was hanging over her head, ready to fall at any moment.
She hadn't felt such a clear sense of danger for many years.
Qin Yining just didn't want to appear panicked and disturb others.
"Wangfei, where are we going?"
Qin Yining pursed his lips and said, "We're going to find our warship."
Ji Yun said in surprise, "Wangfei plans to go to Water Ze Country to lie low?"
"No matter if we go to Water Ze Country or not, we feel safer on the sea than here. When we first chose to stay in Golden Harbor, we considered this point. Wang Ye has arranged for people to look after the warship. The warship has also prepared fresh water and dry food all year round. It should last us for a while. "
Bing Tang smiled and said, "That's a good idea. I don't believe that Your Majesty's people can fly over."
Qin Yining heard how relaxed she was and couldn't help but smile. His tense mind finally relaxed a little.
However, they didn't immediately go straight to the point. After leaving Golden Harbor, they nervously took a detour. They planned to shake off their pursuers before going to the warship.
The weather was cold. Since Golden Harbor was in the north, winter was naturally more intense. It was cold and windy in December. Qin Yining was sitting in the car with her child in her arms. She was burning a small charcoal stove, and she even had to wrap herself in a fox fur coat. She was also afraid that the bad air in the charcoal stove would affect Brother Xuan and Sister Yun's health, so she especially opened the car window a crack to let in the cold wind. She leaned to the side to block the wind for the children.
After walking for two days, the journey was safe and smooth, which made everyone relax a little.
"Your Highness, there's a village up ahead. It's getting late, so let's stay here and rest for the night. We can change our route tomorrow." Xie Yue said with a smile outside the carriage.
Qin Yining smiled and said, "That would be great. Thank you for making the arrangements."
Xie Yue instructed Jinghu Wei to scout the way to the village. On the other hand, Qin Yining's team slowed down.
Not long after, Jinghu Wei rushed back, "The village is called Yang Jia Village. There are only twenty or so families inside. Because the days are short during winter, there aren't many people walking around. We only found out after knocking on the door of one of the families. We spent a bit more money and that family agreed to let us stay for the night. "
"That's good." Xie Yue agreed. Seeing that there was nothing wrong, she led the team in the direction of Yang Jia Village.
After the carriage traveled for a few zhang, large snowflakes floated down from the sky. They were carried by the cold wind and fluttered in the face. Jing Zhe, Liao Zhibing, and the others who were following the carriage couldn't help but raise their arms to cover their faces.
The wind and snow blew in through the crack in the window. Qin Yining quickly leaned over to protect the child in her arms.
Ji Yun turned around to close the window, "It's suddenly snowing heavily."
"We came at the right time. It didn't snow on the way here." Bing Tang smiled and gently coaxed the baby in her arms.
Qin Yining smiled and nodded, "That's right. Fortunately, it's snowing heavily and we've already found a place to stay."
The others couldn't help but smile.
The group quickly arrived at the village. Xie Yue got off the carriage first and went to negotiate with the family that had agreed to let them stay the night. She quickly returned and smiled, "Wang Fei, please get off the carriage."
Qin Yining nodded and wrapped the swaddling cloth properly. He supported Ji Yun's hand as they got off the carriage. Bing Tang followed behind, also carrying a large red swaddling cloth. She used her cotton cloak to protect the child in her arms and followed behind Qin Yining.
"Later, boil a pot of ginger soup and let everyone have some. It's really tiring to eat and sleep in the open. The weather is cold. It's better if everyone doesn't catch a cold."
"Yes." Bing Tang smiled and nodded, "Don't worry. Your body is the weakest here. You …"
Before Bing Tang could finish her sentence, she suddenly saw a flash of silver from the corner of her eye. It was so dazzling that she couldn't help but raise her sleeve to block it.
Before she could react, Jing Zhe and the others had already turned around and shouted, "There's an ambush! Wang Fei, let's go! "
Qin Yining's heart skipped a beat. She carried the child and turned to leave. But at the same time, masked men dressed in black came from all directions with swords in their hands. Their footsteps were very light and silent. It was obvious that they were experts.
Jinghu Wei, Jing Zhe, Liao Zhibing, and the others immediately surrounded Qin Yining, Xie Yue, Master Zhong, and the others. They carefully observed these people.
Xie Yue was so anxious that her face turned pale. "Wang Fei, I didn't realize it just now!"
"It's not your fault. Let's think of a way to break out of this encirclement first!" Qin Yining hugged her infant and hid with her back to back with Bing Tang.
There were more than a hundred masked men in black surrounding them. They quickly surrounded the few dozen of them.
Pang Xiao had arranged for ten Jinghu Wei, four silver-masked spies, and a few of Liao Zhibing's brothers. These were the only people in their group who could fight. Against more than a hundred people, how could they possibly win?!
"Go!" One of the men in black gave the order. The others immediately rushed forward.
Jing Zhe, Liao Zhibing, and the others immediately surrounded Qin Yining. Jinghu Wei roared and raised their swords to fight. "Quick, find a chance to escape!"
The other party coldly ordered, "Master has ordered that no one is allowed to escape. Capture all of them!"
"Yes!"
The men in black were unwilling to back down and swarmed forward.
Qin Yining's vision was blurred in the wind and snow. She was protected in the middle and could only see that everyone was fighting to the death.
Brother Xuan and Sister Yun were probably frightened by the sounds of fighting and killing. They woke up with a start and cried loudly. The children's cries were crisp and clear. The sound of the children's cries could be heard throughout the quiet village.
Qin Yining's heart ached. It was freezing cold and the children were crying in the snow. She was really afraid that the children would get sick from the cold. She hurriedly used her fox fur coat to protect the children in her arms.
Jinghu Wei and the silver-masked spies heard the children's cries and fought with all their might.
But this time, they could see that the other party was an expert and had come prepared. They were on par with them in terms of fighting skills, and some of them were even more skilled than them. They had already done their best, and the other party was also well-coordinated. They were determined to capture them.
Jing Zhe's eyes immediately turned red. "Fight them to the death!"
"Yes!" The other spies and Jinghu Wei agreed in unison.
Everyone fought with all their might and fought a bloody path out of the encirclement. They fought and retreated, protecting Qin Yining as they broke out of the encirclement.
But who knew that they had only taken a few steps when they were met with a group of armored cavalry. They were all wearing the uniform of the Jingji Guards. The sound of the horses' hooves trampled the snow on the ground into mud.
When Qin Yining heard that the other party wanted to capture them alive, she knew that it must be Li Qitian's men who had chased them here. Now that she saw the Jingji Guards, who could only come here because of the Emperor's orders, how could she not understand?
She hurriedly led her men into a side alley.
Just as they turned around, a group of young men dressed as commoners rushed up and blocked the path of the pursuers.
"Princess Consort, leave quickly!"
Qin Yining found these people unfamiliar.
But the few Jinghu Wei beside her looked familiar. "Princess Consort, these are the new faces that we found in the city earlier!"
Those young men blocked the Jingji Guards' cavalry with their bare hands. Hearing this, the leader couldn't help but say: "Our Master ordered us to protect Princess Consort's safety. Princess Consort, leave quickly!"
Qin Yining was even more puzzled.
Master?
Among the people she knew, Lu Heng and Qiu Feishan were the only ones who could be called Master. Qiu Feishan's relationship with Qiu Yuanqing was still unclear, so she couldn't be called the Master of the Qiu Family. So these people were sent by Lu Heng?
Qin Yining didn't have time to be surprised. She turned around and fled with the child.
Bing Tang and the others followed closely behind her.
Jinghu Wei, the Silver Masked Spy, and the people arranged by Lu Heng tried their best to resist the pursuers.
But Qin Yining and her men were outnumbered. The Jingji Guards had more than a hundred people, and they were all cavalry. They only needed to send a part of them to outflank Qin Yining.
Qin Yining looked at the Jingji Guards' cavalry standing in front of her on a tall horse. She couldn't help but hug the child tighter, and the child cried even louder.
The person sitting on the horse was expressionless. "Come, take her down!"
"Yes!"
Everyone jumped off their horses and swarmed up.
Jing Zhe, Liao Zhibing, and Jinghu Wei had already been entangled, but they couldn't resist the enemy's numbers. Seeing Qin Yining being blocked, they couldn't do anything else.
Qin Yining hugged the baby tightly and stepped back step by step.
But the other party didn't show any mercy. Dozens of Jingji Guards swarmed up, and Qin Yining and her men were immediately pressed to the ground. The baby in Qin Yining and Bing Tang's arms was also taken away.
"Give the child back to me! Let him go! "Qin Yining suddenly raised her head and looked at the baby with red eyes.
But the Jingji Guards didn't care.
They each held a red baby in their arms, and their postures were very casual.
Bing Tang's baby was also taken away. She was so scared that tears flowed out of her eyes. She cried and roared, "If you have the ability, come at us! What ability do you have to hurt a baby in his arms! "
"Those are Prince Zhongshun's children. If you hurt them, Wang Ye won't let you off when he comes back!" Ji Yun also roared angrily.
Qin Yining roared until her voice was hoarse. Her red eyes made her look particularly ugly. The other party didn't take pity on her and pressed her face against the snow. This way, they wouldn't have to look at her ferocious expression.
But Qin Yining still refused to give up. She was like a fish that had jumped out of a pond. She struggled desperately on the ground, and her voice was hoarse from screaming.
