Lo Pingsha walked in with the freshly brewed ginger soup and happened to see Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan snuggling intimately.

He immediately stopped. For a moment, he could neither advance nor retreat.

Xiao Juan looked up at him, and the gentleness in his eyes faded. In an instant, he returned to his usual unsmiling appearance.

“What is it?”

Lo Pingsha said dryly, “You’ve just soaked in the river for a long time. You should drink a bowl of ginger soup to dispel the cold.” Yu Niaoniao stood up and walked over, taking the tray from him.

“Thank you very much.”

Lo Pingsha turned to leave, but Xiao Juan stopped him.

“Wait a minute. I have something to ask you.”

He obediently stood where he was.

Seeing that he was a little pitiful, Yu Niaoniao said to him, “Don’t just stand there. Sit and talk.”

Lo Pingsha obediently found a seat and sat down.

Xiao Juan finished the ginger soup in his bowl and asked, “Are Granny Xiu Yan and the others okay?”

Lo Pingsha answered truthfully, “They’re with General Tang now. They’re safe for the time being.”

Xiao Juan turned to ask about the situation in Liaodong County.

Lo Pingsha told him everything he knew.

This battle caused more than half of the Eastern Expedition Army to die. The remaining Eastern Expedition Army hid in the forest, but this was only a temporary measure. The Chen Nation’s army was burning, killing, and plundering in Liaodong County. The Eastern Expedition Army could not ignore it.

More importantly, the Eastern Expedition Army had no food now.

The entire army could only tighten their belts.

If this continued, they would starve to death, if not be trapped.

In short, the current Liaodong County was no longer safe.

Even if Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao escaped to Liaodong County, they might not be able to survive.

Xiao Juan looked at Lo Pingsha and asked.

“What do you have in mind?”

Lo Pingsha had taken a risk to come so far to pick them up. He must have done more than worry about their safety.

As expected, Lo Pingsha did have his own plans.

“The reason why Your Highness and the Princess Consort want to go to Liaodong County is because Liaodong County is safer for you.where you could be protected by General Tang and Prince Min.”

“But now, they can’t even protect themselves, let alone protect you. This way, you will lose the meaning of escaping to Liaodong County.”

“I specially came to see you to tell you this information in advance so that you can think carefully before making a decision.”

Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao understood what he meant.

If they insisted on going to Liaodong County, it meant that they would be involved in the war between the two countries. No one knew if they would live or die.

If they were unwilling to participate in the war, they would immediately change direction and continue to escape at the risk of being hunted.

Choosing one of the two was a major decision that could change Xiao Juan and Yu Niaoniao’s lives.

Xiao Juan turned to look at Yu Niaoniao and asked. 𝚋𝚎𝚍𝚗𝚘𝚟el.c𝚘𝚖

“What do you think?”

Yu Niaoniao smiled. “Didn’t you already make a decision? Why are you still asking me?”

Xiao Juan said, “No matter what my decision is, just tell me what you think.”

Yu Niaoniao stopped smiling and said solemnly, “Guixi and I are as close as sisters. I definitely won’t abandon her.”

Xiao Juan smiled. “Then let’s go to Liaodong. We’ll go together.”

Instead of being chased around like a stray dog, it was better to fight those bandits from the Chen Nation to the death openly!

Even if he unfortunately died in battle in the future, it would be a worthy death!

Lo Pingsha got the answer he wanted and left silently with his empty bowl.

Only Yu Niaoniao and Xiao Juan were left in the room.

Today, they had repeatedly gone to the edge of life and death. Now that they were finally safe, their tense nerves relaxed, and their bodies became exhausted.

Yu Niaoniao yawned. She really wanted to sleep.

Xiao Juan consciously moved inside.

Yu Niaoniao took off her coat, shoes. and socks, lifted the blanket, and crawled in.

She hugged Xiao Juan’s arm and adjusted her posture to the most comfortable position. Then, she closed her eyes and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

Xiao Juan looked down at her sleeping face.

He looked like a dragon protecting its beloved treasure, and his eyes were filled with her.

Unknowingly, he closed his eyes and fell asleep.

The boat sailed along the Heron River for three days before finally docking in the morning of the fourth day.

They changed to a land route and continued on their way in a carriage.

The closer they got to Liaodong County, the tighter the inspection of the various towns.

In the end, Yu Niaoniao and the others did not dare to enter the city to replenish their supplies. They could only rely on hunting and picking wild fruits to fill their stomachs. It was difficult for them to move forward in this way. More than ten days passed.

They crossed the mountains and bypassed the search of the officials of the Imperial Court and secretly sneaked into Liaodong County.

However, they could not let their guard down.

Although the Imperial Court’s pursuit of them had come to an end, the flames of war were raging in Liaodong County. The figures of the Chen Nation’s enemies could be seen everywhere.

Yu Niaoniao and the others had to be doubly careful and try their best to avoid the eyes and ears of the Chen Nation.

Xia Haisheng slid down the tree trunk and said, “If we go further, we’ll reach the Li family village. We passed by there on our way here. Because that village is remote, it hasn’t been discovered by the Chen Nation for the time being. We can go there later to ask for food.”

The five of them had not eaten a hot meal for many days. When they heard Xia Haisheng’s words, they were immediately excited.

They perked up and sped up.

But before they could reach the Li family village, they heard shouts coming from afar.

The five of them were immediately wary.

Could it be that the Chen Nation’s enemy had discovered this place?

What they were afraid of really happened.

It was a small team from the Chen Nation.

Yu Niaoniao and the others had no choice but to stop and hide in the dense forest.

They looked out through the gaps in the leaves and saw the Chen Nation people barge into the Li family village. Immediately after, heart-wrenching cries came from the village.

The voice was heart-wrenching.

A man held his daughter’s hand and fled the village.

However, before they could run far, they were caught by the Chen Nation.

The man’s ear was cut off and he immediately bled.

However, he could not care less about the pain. He knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, begging the other party to let his daughter go.

But it was useless.

The two Chen Nation people pressed his daughter to the ground and roughly tore her clothes.

The man’s eyes almost popped out. He wanted to rush forward to protect his daughter, but he was beaten even more fiercely by the Chen Nation.

He was beaten until he could not fight back. He could only lie on the ground and watch his daughter be violated.

Seeinq this scene, Yu Niaoniao could not take it anymore.

Even if her whereabouts would be exposed because of this, she could not sit back and do nothing.

She pulled an arrow from the quiver behind her and pulled back the bowstring. The arrowhead was aimed at the two Chen Nation people who were pressing against the little girl.

Xiao Juan, Lo Pingsha, Meng Xizhou, and Xia Haisheng did not stop her.

Whoosh.

The arrow flew out and hit the neck of one of the soldiers!

Immediately, blood splattered in all directions, spraying in the face of the Chen Nation soldier beside him. He screamed in fear and dodged back on all fours..
