CHAPTER 1995: CHAPTER 1997: OLD MU RETURNS

"Didn’t your Young Master say there wouldn’t be any trouble?" Yang Chuxia suddenly thought of this point; since Brother An could leave this message, he should have arranged something.

Ye San thought, the Young Master only said you wouldn’t be in trouble, but didn’t say everyone else wouldn’t be in trouble.

"The Young Master must have made arrangements, but perhaps didn’t anticipate Prince Le being so devious, actually besieging the families of the ministers."

"We have no idea how they are doing."

Yang Chuxia thought if they had succeeded, they should know they were trapped and send someone to rescue them. If they hadn’t succeeded, were they fleeing for their lives now?

Yang Chuxia and Ye San made quite a commotion, and soon there were guards from other families trying to climb over the wall as well. However, they weren’t as skilled as Yang Chuxia and Ye San, and when crossing the fire wall, they failed to cross over, directly singed by the rising flames, then fell into the fire wall.

Tragic sounds echoed all around, attracting the pursuing soldiers!

"The fugitives are here, they’re here!"

"Damn it, if you can’t run away, just wait here peacefully."

Yang Chuxia cursed, "This is great! Let’s go, head to the back!"

But upon reaching the back, they were surrounded by Young Master Li and his men.

"Oh, a few stragglers here, are there?"

Ye San, realizing they couldn’t hide, signaled as he moved.

Yang Chuxia frowned, "Couldn’t you have sent it earlier if you had contact?"

"Madam, the Young Master said the signal should only be used when Madam is in mortal danger." Ye San thought, at this moment, with enemies in pursuit and enemies in front, now is surely the best time to use it.

What’s more, earlier inside, with so many guards watching, sending a signal would have been asking for death.

"Mu!"

Yang Chuxia sent him this single word.

"Madam Ye is really kind, bringing along so many children, can you still run?"

"Even if I can’t run, I must; I can’t let traitors and villains do harm." Yang Chuxia asked with a smile, "Where’s your master?"

"Haha!" Young Master Li didn’t answer. "I really don’t understand you people at Prince An’s Mansion; clearly already tied by marriage to Prince Le, yet you still help Prince Zhuang. Prince Le and Prince An’s Mansion are in-laws, helping outsiders harm your own people; has everyone at Prince An’s Mansion been kicked in the head by a donkey?"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Yang Chuxia shouted, "The affairs of Prince An’s Mansion are not for you to question. Besides, what Prince Le has done is intolerable for the people of Great Zhou. I don’t think anyone can support him."

"Stubborn ignorance!" Young Master Li waved a hand, "Kill!"

Yang Chuxia then defended herself while watching the three children. Ye San alone against a group, clearly had no advantage.

Seeing Ye San’s left arm getting slashed, Yang Chuxia panicked, fearing they might all perish this way.

"There’s someone there!"

"Quick, go over!"

A group of cavalry approached. From a distance, Yang Chuxia couldn’t tell if they were allies or enemies, only praying they weren’t foes.

Fortunately, in a life full of surprises, the arriving group turned out to be Old Mu.

"Uncle!"

"Xiaxia?"

Seeing Yang Chuxia, Old Mu was visibly startled, "Why are you here?"

"Uncle, don’t ask too much now. Quickly deal with these people," Yang Chuxia said urgently. "Prince Le has trapped all the families of the ministers in Prince Le’s Mansion; he’s planning to burn everyone to death."

"A squad stay behind and capture them!" Upon hearing this, Old Mu immediately ordered, "A squad go extinguish the fire at once!"

"Yes!"

Old Mu had just arrived from outside the city, having detained several Assistant Generals from the West Mountain Base, and taken command of their forces.
