Because they were in a hurry, Yun Xiao and the others only took eight days to reach the border city of the Eastern Jin Dynasty. They only needed to pass through the last city gate to reach the border of Country of Xiyue.

Yun Xiao couldn’t help but breathe a sigh of relief when she arrived here.

Opening the window of the inn, a gust of wind blew over. There was a faint coldness. Unknowingly, it was already the end of October.

It’s been a year since she was reborn.

Thinking about the changes that happened in this year, Yun Xiao’s eyes were dyed with a layer of confusion.

In her previous life, at this time, she had just married Zhou Jingyan for the first time. After entering the palace, she knew that she was not the only woman at Zhou Jingyan. Apart from the maidservant, Zhou Jingyan also had a few side concubines, especially Butler Li’s daughter, Li Ruolan, who was targeted at her everywhere.

At that time, although all of this was different from the happiness she had imagined, she was already married and Zhou Jingyan also doted on her, so she slowly felt relieved.

However, at that time, the ignorant him did not know that it was just the beginning of a calamity in his entire life.

Suddenly, Yun Xiao felt a warmth on her body. Turning around, she saw Rong Jin standing behind her. He was long and jade-like, holding a cape in his hand. The corner of his mouth revealed a faint doting smile, “What are you thinking?”

Yun Xiao shook her head. “I just feel so happy.” Compared to her previous life, she was really happy now.

Her husband had yet to give birth to a pair of children. Now, her parents were safe and sound. Although there were some twists and turns in the middle, the result was finally agreed.

Thinking of Er Xiao, the corner of Yun Xiao’s mouth also revealed a faint smile, as well as expectation, “We are about to arrive in Country of Xiyue. I wonder how Nuo and Tongtong are doing? Are you tangling Ruo up so badly that you don’t know whether to laugh or cry?” Handing over two newborn babies to a five-year-old child meant that their parents were too irresponsible.

At this moment, a carrier pigeon flew in from the open window and landed on Rong Jin’s shoulder. It leisurely swayed.

Rong Jin reached out and took the letter. After opening it, he said with an embarrassed expression, “Let’s get out of here quickly. There’s no need to wait for your parents and the others to come. I’ll send a message to them and let them take a detour to Country of Xiyue from outside the city.”

After Rong Jin finished speaking, he turned around and entered the room. He quickly picked up his pen and wrote a letter. Then, he asked the carrier pigeon to bring the letter out.

Yun Xiao looked at Rong Jin with a cautious expression, knowing that something must be amiss.

After the carrier pigeon flew out, he asked, “What exactly happened?”

“Zhou Jingyan has already chased after them. In addition, someone has sealed off the entire city. The order has just been issued. We need to take advantage of the city gates to leave Border City.” After Rong Jin finished speaking, he saw that Yun Xiao had already quickly turned around and returned to her room to take out their luggage.

Rong Jin laughed out loud, but he didn’t have time to tease her. He destroyed all traces that belonged to them in the room before walking out with Yun Xiao.

The two quickly left the inn and rode towards the city gate.

Along the way, Rong Jin and Yun Xiao saw that there were already officers and soldiers entering the streets. They began to seal off the entire city and urged the people on the streets to leave.

Seeing this scene, Yun Xiao’s expression became more and more cautious.

His expression was extremely embarrassing. If the entire city was truly sealed off like this, it would be extremely difficult for him to leave at that time.

At this moment, Yun Xiao secretly rejoiced. They said that they would leave separately from Yun Maozhe and the others. Otherwise, if all of them entered the city, it would be impossible for them to leave the city at this time.

Second, as long as the city gate was still open, they would still have a chance to leave.

Yun Xiao took a deep breath and looked at the chaos caused by the people on the street, which accelerated the horse’s speed again.

However, at this moment, it was said that the peddlers on the streets had brazenly increased the number of riders, immediately attracting the attention of the officers and soldiers.

At the corner of Yun Xiao’s eyes, she saw a group of officers and men chasing after her, especially the officers at the front, who shouted loudly, “Who are you talking about? The riders, just tell them to stop immediately!”

Seeing this, Yun Xiao felt a little more apprehensive. Right now, because it was on the street, people came and went. The road hadn’t been cleared yet. If the horse traveled too fast, it would kick people. They had to slow down. However, the officers and soldiers behind them were walking faster and faster. Once caught up, wanting to leave would be much more troublesome. “Husband, what should we do now?”

Rong Jin frowned. His gentle expression did not change. After thinking for a moment, he said softly, “Spread the silver coins we brought all the way to the side.”

After Yun Xiao heard this, Gu Jingwubo’s eyes lit up slightly, and then he nodded heavily, “Alright, I understand.”

When she left the capital, Yun Xiao did not want to leave the Yun Family’s property to Zhou Jingyan, so she brought a lot of silver notes with her, so she did not lack any money at all.

Yun Xiao quickly opened the bag, took out the money bag, and threw it towards the opposite side of the horse.

At first, no one cared what Yun Xiaosa was doing, but then someone said in surprise, “Hurry, someone is throwing money!”

Afterwards, the entire street ran towards the place where the money was scattered, and for a moment, the road ahead was unobstructed.

When Yun Xiao saw this, she immediately heaved a sigh of relief, and Rong Jin also let the horse speed up.

Yun Xiao looked back and saw that the people had already blocked the road. When the pursuers behind had to slow down, a strange look appeared in Gu Jing’s calm eyes. Then, he grabbed a handful of broken silver and scattered it backwards. This time, the people were even more crazy and rushed to steal the silver.

The people had always been very enthusiastic about this kind of pie falling from the sky. Coupled with the silver scattered by Yun Xiao, even though it was broken silver, after snatching it, the smallest one would be enough for an ordinary family to spend a month.

Some people even fought with each other in order to snatch the silver. For a moment, the scene was unprecedentedly chaotic.

In order to prevent the people from becoming even more chaotic, the officers and soldiers could only temporarily stop their crowded pace and stay to maintain order on the spot. Among them, there were a few officers and soldiers who were fighting with the people for money in corners that the other officers and soldiers could not see.

…

When they saw the chaotic scene behind them, Rong Jin and Yun Xiao finally said that they could breathe a sigh of relief and quickly ran towards the city gate.

However, there were many officers and soldiers on the streets. Occasionally, they would encounter a group of officers and soldiers. Yun Xiao did the same. Along the way, she encountered a total of three groups of officers and soldiers, and Yun Xiao had already scattered all the broken silver in her hands.

Seeing that the city gate was right in front of him, the officers and soldiers at the city gate surrounded the city gate on the third floor, and there were also officers and soldiers closing in on the city gate.

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin exchanged a glance and saw a cautious aura in each other’s eyes.

However, neither of them opened their mouths to pull the horse to a halt.

Yun Xiao put away the money bag, then looked in Rong Jin’s direction, nodded to him, and took out the poison in Rong Jin’s arms. Just as a gust of wind blew over, Yun Xiao immediately sprinkled the poison out and floated towards the officers and soldiers at the city gate.

The poison mixed with the wind quickly floated in front of the officers and soldiers. Many of them slowly fell down. Rong Jin took advantage of this buffer and fiercely whipped the horse. At this moment, the horse’s speed reached its maximum!

The two of them quickly rode their horses towards the city gate. They saw that it was only ten zhang away from the city gate, and there was only a small gate that only two people could travel through.

Rong Jin frowned slightly. A cold light flashed through his eyes. As his wrist reversed, several silver needles appeared in his palm.

The silver needle in his hand quickly flew out. In the blink of an eye, it struck all the guards who were closing the door. After the guards fell to the ground, there were no guards at the city gate. They could give Rong Jin and Yun Xiao some time to catch their breath.

The two of them drew their horses and quickly moved forward. However, before they could reach the city gate, more officers and soldiers surged over and surrounded the two of them.

The general who was guarding the gate immediately said sternly, “Close the city gate!”

Yun Xiao and Rong Jin’s faces were unprecedentedly cautious. Especially at this moment, the two of them heard the sound of horse hooves coming from behind them. From the sound of horse hooves stepping on the ground, it could be seen that the rider was not far from them.

What Yun Xiao was certain of was that the person who had come was Zhou Jingyan!

The two of them exchanged glances and saw the same meaning in each other’s eyes. If Zhou Jingyan came, the two of them would not be able to escape. Therefore, they could only use this period of time when Zhou Jingyan had yet to arrive to rush out.

He glanced at the distance between them and the city gates, as well as the circle of guards that surrounded them.

“Quick, capture them! Your Highness the Third Prince is coming. Capture these two people and we will be able to make a contribution!” When the general guarding the city said those words, his eyebrows were raised, as if he had already seen his own path to becoming an official and making a fortune.

Rong Jin frowned and pulled out the soft sword from his waist, protecting Yun Xiao in his arms. He kept the soft sword dancing like a tiger in the wind, preventing any guards from approaching the horse. Then, he took out all the poison in Yun Xiao’s hand with his other hand and calculated the wind direction. When the wind blew in front of him, he immediately sprinkled out the poison in his hand.

Not long after, the guards in front of Rong Jin immediately fell to the ground. Rong Jin brandished his soft sword, and the sword didn’t have any empty moves. With a single strike, he would definitely stab a person. Then, he immediately pushed back and smashed towards the person rushing towards him.

As such, he finally opened up a path of blood. Seeing that there was only one last point left in front of the city gate and only one person allowed to pass through, Rong Jin used his silver needle to fly over again. He stabbed the guard and the guard fell to the ground. The guard behind him followed him again. However, Rong Jin used this instant to force the soft sword to retreat and rush out from the crack in the door!

However, just as Rong Jin was riding his horse and escaping into the sky, he suddenly felt a chill on his back. A sense of vigilance towards danger made Rong Jin quickly regain his senses. Turning around, he saw a sharp arrow glittering with silver light rushing towards him! The long arrow carried the momentum of a bamboo, and it had the momentum of not hitting his head and not turning back!
