Wei Wan still wanted to say something, but her throat felt like it was burning. She couldn't make a sound and could only hug her daughter tightly.

She looked at Xu Yan with hatred.

Yao'er was also his flesh and blood, but this man was actually so heartless. In order to kill her, he wouldn't even let their daughter off.

Xu Yan looked deeply at Wei Wan and Xu Yao again. He took a step back with his son and ordered calmly, “They should be on their way.”

These words sounded like a death sentence.

Xu Yan couldn't help but turn around and look in the direction of the carriage. His dark eyes were deep.

The torches around them only illuminated a radius of dozens of feet. In the distance, it was as dark as ink, and the uninhabited wilderness was silent. Other than them, there was no one else.

On the way out of the city, Wei Wan said that Second Lady Gu had predicted that she and Xu Yao would die today.

At that time, he almost lost his composure, afraid that Wei Wan would be suspicious. Fortunately, Wei Wan was stupid and didn't believe Second Lady Gu at all.

As he thought about it, Xu Yan's thin lips pursed in a straight line. He had to admit that Second Lady Gu was really capable.

“Yes, Your Excellency,” the big-bearded man replied loudly with a fierce glint in his eyes. A ferocious smile appeared on his lips, and his face was stained with a few spots of dark red human blood. It was dazzling against his skin.

He raised the butcher's knife in his hand high. The sharp blade shone with a dazzling light in the fire…

Taking advantage of the moment when the big-bearded man raised his knife, Wei Wan decisively carried her daughter and rolled twice on the ground to avoid this unstoppable knife.

Clunk!

The big-bearded man's knife missed and hit the ground beside him hard, sending gravel flying.

Wei Wan whispered into her daughter's ear, “Run, go find your aunt and uncle.”

She grabbed a sword from the guard's corpse and quickly pushed her daughter towards the forest by the road with her other hand. She shouted again in a hoarse voice, “Leave quickly!”

She grabbed the bloodstained sword and faced the bearded man with the determination to fight to the death.

For her daughter, it would be good if she could delay them for a while.

Clunk!

Their blades clashed fiercely, sending sparks flying.

Although Wei Wan was the daughter of a general, she had been spoiled since she was young. She hadn't learned martial arts well, and her strength wasn't as good as a man's. She only felt a numbness in her hand, but she still held the sword tightly, like a drowning person holding the last piece of driftwood.

Xu Yao, who had been pushed out, staggered. Her face was covered in tears, and she was sobbing.

The young girl also didn't understand why her father and brother wanted to kill her and her mother.

She called out “Mommy” again, gritted her teeth, and turned to run in the other direction.

She would have to look for her uncle!

She would look for her uncle to save her mother!

Not far away, Xu Yan frowned. He felt that these subordinates were really useless. He tore off the jade pendant at his waist and threw it at Xu Yao, who was fleeing in a sorry state.

The jade pendant flew out quickly and hit the girl's right shin steadily and accurately.

“Ah!” Xu Yao screamed in pain and fell to the ground.

She was just a young child. After falling, she couldn't get up for a while.

“T-t-t-t…”

Suddenly, the faint sound of horses' hooves came from the southeast. It became clearer and clearer in the silent night. The sound of horses' hooves was coming this way.

Xu Yan's expression changed. His first reaction was that the people from Duke Wei's Mansion had realized that something was wrong, so they sent people to chase after him.

On second thought, he rejected this guess.

Judging from the sound of the horses' hooves, there was only one horse. It was definitely not someone from the British Mansion. The people from Duke Wei's Mansion couldn't have come alone.

That should be a passerby who happened to pass by… This person happened to pass by here, so he could only be considered unlucky.

Killing intent rose in Xu Yan's heart. He frowned tightly and ordered sternly, “Hurry up!”

The other bandit with a triangular face agreed loudly and quickly chased after Xu Yao.

“Yao'er!”

Wei Wan looked back in her daughter's direction in a panic and shouted at the top of her lungs.

The longsword in her hand collided with the bearded man's knife again, making a clang. This time, the longsword left her hand.

Wei Wan couldn't care less. She watched helplessly as the triangular-faced robber approached the crawling girl in front of her. Her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife.

In an instant, all the blood in her body went cold, almost freezing.

She regretted it.

She shouldn't be so conceited.

She should have listened to Gu Yanfei.

Gu Yanfei had already warned her.

Her daughter could have escaped death, but because of her…

She should have been the only one bearing all the karma.

“Yao'er!” Wei Wan shouted again. Her eyes widened to the extreme, and the blood vessels in her eyes became even denser.

Behind her, the big-bearded man sneered and stabbed a long knife into her back. This knife was clean and ruthless as it pierced into her thin back…

Wei Wan didn't blink and only revealed a relieved expression upon seeing Xu Yan's face. Her gaze didn't shift at all as she looked straight at her and Xu Yao.

She saw her favorite son looking at her impatiently. He patted Xu Yan's shoulder and urged him.

No matter what, Wei Wan was a dead person. Xu Yan retracted his gaze and touched the top of Xu Luo's head with one hand. He comforted him softly, “Let's go.”

The sound of horse hooves behind him was getting closer and closer. Xu Yan carried his son and turned to return to the carriage. He said indifferently, “Don't leave anyone alive.”

“Swoosh!”

An arrow cut through the night air. The sound of horse hooves came from the direction of the arrow, like lightning with a sharp aura.

Wei Wan clearly saw the arrow come from the southeast. Without blinking, she watched as the arrow quickly brushed past her arm and ruthlessly pierced through the bearded man's right hand.

“All!” The bearded man let out an extremely miserable scream and couldn't help but let go of the knife in his hand.

The palm that had been pierced by the sharp arrow trembled, and blood gurgled from the wound.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

Another few arrows shot out from the darkness. A second arrow pierced through the forehead of the triangular face and went straight through the head. A third arrow pierced the chest of a bandit. A fourth arrow cut through the throat…

These consecutive arrows were all accurate.

As these bandits fell to the ground and couldn't get up, the torches in their hands fell to the ground one by one, and the surroundings darkened a lot.

“Yao'er.” Wei Wan struggled to rush over and hug her disheveled daughter. The long knife on her back fell to the ground with her action.

Blood quickly overflowed from the wound, dyeing the clothes on her back red. Blood dripped to the ground.

How tragic was this scene?

The girl, who had been holding back her tears just now, burst into tears the moment her mother hugged her. “Mommy, Mommy, Mommy…”

She called her mother repeatedly, as if she could get unlimited power and comfort from this word.

Not far away, Xu Yan, who was about to get into the carriage, was stunned. His expression changed drastically.

He quickly looked in the direction where the arrow had come from and saw a young girl in a snow-green dress riding a red horse towards them not far ahead, holding a longbow.

In the wilderness, the beautiful and refined girl looked especially out of place.

The night breeze lifted the girl's skirt and sleeves, making them flutter and making her temperament look valiant.

Who was this?! Xu Yan quickly placed Xu Luo in the carriage and pulled out his sword. He looked at Gu Yanfei warily.

He didn't recognize Gu Yanfei, but Wei Wan did. Her eyes lit up when she saw Gu Yanfei, and her face revealed an unbelievable surprise.

It was her, it was actually her!

Wei Wan's eyes were filled with tears.

It was the tears of someone who had just survived a disaster. At this moment, she couldn't even feel the pain in her body.

Xu Yao's hands were covered in blood when she touched her mother's back. She was still in shock and said in a trembling voice, “Mommy, you're bleeding…”

“I'm fine.” Wei Wan comforted her daughter gently.

She could feel her body getting colder and colder because of the blood loss, but she tried her best to hold on.

Gu Yanfei rode her horse to Wei Wan and Xu Yao's side. She looked calm, but she heaved a sigh of relief in her heart. Thank goodness, I've caught up with them.

In order to find this mother and daughter, the afternoon was filled with twists and turns.

First, Wei Wan left in a hurry in a fit of anger. Imperial Duchess Wei couldn't stop her at the ceremonial gate. Then, she immediately got someone to go to the Ji'an Mansion. Who knew that she was still a step too late?

The gatekeeper of the Ji'an Mansion said that Wei Wan and her husband had just left with the twins. He said that they were going to Wu Villa to stay for two days.

Hence, the guards of Imperial Duke Wei's Mansion rushed to Wu Villa again. However, they didn't see anyone along the way, and there was no one in Wu Villa.

The guards could only return to the Duke's Mansion to report. This time, Imperial Duchess Wei was really anxious. She and Imperial Duke Wei went to the Gu Mansion together to ask Gu Yanfei for help.

“Sister, are you here to save us?” Xu Yao also remembered Gu Yanfei and shouted with shining eyes.

“You guys are too hard to find.” Gu Yanfei sighed casually.

It was impossible for her to know in advance where they would go. She could only keep calculating along the way until she finally found this wilderness that no one usually came to.

The Akhal-Teke horse beneath her crowed triumphantly, as if to say, It's all thanks to me.

It was indeed all thanks to it. Gu Yanfei touched its slender neck.

Although…

Gu Yanfei quickly glanced at Wei Wan, who was covered in blood.

Although the death aura on Wei Wan hadn't dissipated…

At least she had made it..
