Revenge of the First Daughter - Chapter 548

Chapter 548 Day Of Escape
The Yun Clan’s flames soared into the sky, but the Yun Clan had been arranged in an orderly manner.

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin quickly walked towards the main courtyard. Everywhere they passed, there were huge fires that filled the sky.

Along the way, although Yun Xiao and Rong Jin were a distance away from the fire, they were still soaked in the roasted clothes.

Looking at the devastated Yun Clan, Yun Xiao had a trace of regret in her eyes. The Yun Clan had been established in the capital for a hundred years, but now, it had been completely burned by a large fire. Seeing the place where she had grown up being burned down like this, the sadness in her heart grew thicker and thicker.

However, thinking back to his previous life, when the Yun Clan had all been killed, and the Yun Clan’s mansion had been rewarded by Zhou Jingyan to the meritorious officials, Yun Xiao’s eyes became more and more determined. Now that the Yun Clan had been completely burned down, Zhou Jingyan could no longer hope to obtain anything from the Yun Clan!

Just when Yun Xiao’s mood was uneasy, she felt that her hand was tightly gripped by someone. She looked sideways and saw Rong Jin’s moist face. Her dark eyes were filled with concern. At that moment, Yun Xiao felt her heart warm.

Yun Xiao quickly walked to the main courtyard and her expression had returned to normal.

Seeing that everyone from the Yun Clan was standing in the middle of the courtyard, the corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth rose slightly. She quickly walked over and whispered, “Mom and Dad.”

Madam Lu hadn’t seen Yun Xiao come back for a long time. She thought that something had happened to Yun Xiao. Now that she saw Yun Xiao appear in front of her unharmed, she felt relieved. “Xiao Xiao, you’ve finally come over. Just now, they said that this hidden tunnel was about to be dug through.”

Yun Xiao’en nodded and lightly counted the number of people before saying, “Mother, since we have all left, the Yun Clan’s servants should also return the deeds of selling their bodies to them, right?”

Madam Lu chuckled, “There’s no need for you to worry about this. I’ve already asked someone to hand over the deed to a reliable person. When we leave, the deed will be returned to them.”

Only then did Yun Xiao nod her head. These people from the Yun Family were also considered loyal to them. Now that they wanted to leave West Vietnam, all they could do was return the deed to them.

Right at this moment, a few people came up from the dirt not far away. Then, a few people climbed out from behind the dirt. After looking around for a few times, they walked towards Rong Jin, their eyes filled with respect. “Greetings, Master.”

“Alright, get up, everyone. Where does the hidden path lead to now?” Rong Jin’s voice was cold and his gaze indifferent.

“It leads to the city gate. However, this subordinate has just received accurate information that Zhou Jingyan’s troops have blocked the city gate. If we leave now, we will most likely run into those people.”

Rong Jin frowned and looked at the sky. Then, he said, “It’s fine. Go in and lead the way.”

“Yes,” the man replied before leading the way in. Rong Jin then looked at Yun Maozhe and the others and whispered, “Father-in-law, mother-in-law, you guys go in first. Xiao Xiao and I will stay behind and cut off our backs.”

Yun Maozhe immediately raised an objection, “How can I let the two of you cut off the rear? You guys go first, and I’ll be fine as long as an old man stays behind.”

Seeing this, Yun Xiao said, “Daddy, you don’t have to argue about this. The Yun Clan has been burned down like this. I’m afraid that it won’t be long before some officers and men come. Rong Jin and I will stay behind and seal the secret passageway to buy some time for everyone.” Not to mention the fifty thousand troops of Zhou Jingyan outside the city, if they are pinched back and forth and don’t have a single way out, then their lives will be at stake. Fortunately, everyone did not know that Yun Lan was still alive. Rong Jin had already sent Yun Lan to meet him outside the city from the beginning.

Therefore, no one could discover this cave entrance.

Seeing that Yun Xiao’s expression was firm, Yun Maozhe nodded his head. Finally, he looked at the mansion that was burned by the flames in the sky, and there was a deep pain in his eyes.

Afterwards, he resolutely turned around and helped Madam Lu down the secret path. The secret path was very dark. Although there were dim lights, they still couldn’t see clearly, but no one spoke.

Madam Lu raised her head and looked at Yun Xiao. There was still some worry in her eyes. She said softly, “Xiao Xiao, hurry up and come down. Mother is waiting for you in front.”

Yun Xiao nodded and answered. Then, she looked at Madam Yu and whispered, “Second Aunt, you and Second Sister should go down as well. This time, I was the one who implicated you.”

Madam Yu stepped forward and patted the stolen goods on Yun Xiao’s robe. She whispered, “What do you mean by implicated us? We are all family. However, right now, I am worried about your eldest sister.” Now that they had all left and the Xi siblings were still in the capital, if Zhou Jingyan threatened them with the Xi siblings’ lives, Madam Yu did not know what to do.

As a mother, Yun Xiao naturally understood Madam Yu’s worries. However, in this matter, Yun Xiao had already made preparations and whispered, “Second Aunt, don’t worry. I’ve already made arrangements for this matter. Eldest Sister will be fine.” Yun Xi was already married, so it naturally didn’t seem like she could leave with them. If Zhou Jingyan was angry, the family that Yun Xi married might not be able to protect Yun Xi. Fortunately, she was already prepared.

Yu shi saw that Yun Xiao was resolute, and the corners of her eyes were slightly moist. She said softly, “I’m going to let you worry about me again.”

Yun Xiao looked at the sky and felt that the horizon seemed to be ignited by the fire in front of her. “What did Second Aunt say? It made Second Aunt wander around. It was all because of my fault that she went elsewhere. It’s almost too late. Second Aunt, hurry up and go down.”

“Alright, Second Aunt will be waiting for you guys to come over.” Madam Yu patted Yun Xiao’s shoulder again, then pulled Sister Min down. Sister Min waved her hand to Yun Xiao, her eyes filled with excitement. “Fourth sister, fourth brother-in-law, hurry up and come down.”

Yun Xiao looked at the fearless Sister Min with a trace of envy in her eyes. If only she could be as indifferent as Sister Min, “Alright, we’ll be right there.”

After Madam Yu and the Min siblings left the secret tunnel, Yun Xiao looked at Brother Han, who was tightly grabbing her clothes, and whispered, “Brother Han, hurry up and get down as well.”

Brother Han curled his lips. His obsidian-like eyes were filled with determination. “Fourth sister, no, I want to be with you.”

Yun Xiao thought about it. Although Brother Han was still young, his temper was very tenacious. He nodded his head and said, “I’ll go set up a formation in front of him first. You guys wait here first.”

Just as she was about to leave, Rong Jin grabbed her wrist and said, “I’ll accompany you.”

Seeing this, Yun Xiao did not refuse. The two of them walked forward together and set up a formation at one of the intersections. Then, on the way inside, they set up three formations in succession. Only then did they breathe a sigh of relief.

After they returned, Brother Han was still waiting on the spot. Yun Xiao took Brother Han’s hand and walked towards the secret entrance.

Brother Han’s gaze was burning as he stared at Yun Xiao and whispered, “Fourth sister, did you just set up the same formation as you did on New Year’s Eve?”

“Almost. However, Fourth Sister has studied a bit more and learned a bit more than before. This formation is also a bit more powerful than before.” Seeing the excitement on Brother Han’s face, Yunxiao gently pinched Brother Han’s cheek and said softly, “Brother Han, are you interested?”

Brother Han was not polite to Yun Xiao at all. Even though he nodded seriously, “Yes, Fourth Sister, when you are free in the future, can you teach me?”

“Naturally.” After rubbing Brother Han’s head, Yun Xiao first placed Brother Han at the entrance of the hidden passageway, and then she and Rong Jin quickly went down.

Right at this moment, Yun Xiao clearly heard messy footsteps coming from outside. These footsteps were very clear, even amidst the crackling sounds of sparks exploding, it could be clearly heard. From this, it could be seen that many people had come this time.

Rong Jin quickly pulled Yun Xiao over and said to the black-clothed man beside him, “Block this secret passage. No one is allowed to follow.”

“Yes, Master.” After hearing Rong Jin’s instructions, the black-clothed man began to prepare to block the entrance of the cave.

Rong Jin continued to walk forward with Yun Xiao in his arms, but there was a strong sense of caution between his eyebrows.

Brother Han could also feel the severity of the situation. Even if he didn’t speak anymore, he followed closely behind Rong Jin and Yun Xiao.

Yun Xiao looked at this secret path. Because it was excavated on an ad hoc basis, it was very unstable. “Rong Jin, this secret path was dug all the way from outside the capital. Did you specifically pick out some uninhabited places? Doesn’t this mean that we will have to take a long detour?” Otherwise, how could he not alert the others by digging such a secret tunnel?

Rong Jin smiled and said, “Don’t worry, this secret tunnel leads directly to the capital. No one noticed it. It’s because of the technique of digging people. There is a pair of brothers in the Ten Directions Palace. Their family is engaged in tomb robbery, so they are very skilled at digging caves.”

Hearing this, Yun Xiao nodded her head. Since she was a grave robber, she naturally knew how to dig the entrance of the cave so that no one would discover it. The excavation technique was good, so she naturally wouldn’t make any noise.

However, what Yun Xiao sighed was that the Ten Directions Palace was filled with talents!

However, at this moment, Rong Jin told Yun Xiao another piece of news, “Rong Xun wrote tonight. After tonight, he will directly declare war on the Eastern Jin Dynasty. Now, he has arrived at the border between Country of Xiyue and the Eastern Jin Dynasty.”

Yun Xiao’s heart tightened. She did not expect that this battle would come so quickly.

“Are you afraid?” Rong Jin wrapped his arms around Yun Xiao’s waist, his gaze carrying a trace of worry.

Yun Xiao shook her head, “I’m not afraid.” If this time, she could take away the rivers and mountains that Zhou Jingyan wanted the most, Yun Xiao would be very happy. The best way to punish a person was to lose them after obtaining them.

Moreover, when the Jin Emperor made someone peel Mu Zhi and let An Hua replace Mu Zhi as a calamity to Rong Jin and Rong Xun, the battle between the Eastern Jin and Country of Xiyue was inevitable.

The world’s momentum must be separated and separated over time. Yun Xiao was even more looking forward to a country with the same world in the future.
