The reborn poisonous woman is hard to abandon

Chapter 331 Another purpose
"Reporting to the crown prince, King Huai's rebellious army has been taken down, and the crown prince is requested to issue an order."

The crown prince and Huo Xun had just left the palace when Xiao Zhongheng who had been waiting outside for a long time greeted him.

He raised his eyes and looked at the bright torches around him, and nodded slightly: "And put all these people in the prison of the Ministry of Criminal Justice, waiting for the emperor to deal with it."

"Yes!"

Xiao Zhongheng responded, and was about to leave when a tall horse ran in at a high speed.

Seeing Lu Hanrui jump off the horse, everyone immediately looked over with expectation: "Have you found Zhao Yan's whereabouts?"

"I have sealed all the gates of the city, but I still haven't found any trace of Zhao Yan."

Lu Hanrui shook his head, took a look at Huo Xun, then slammed his palm hard, and said with pain on his face: "And that Huo Yuan, he escaped under my nose!"

"Hasn't he already been injured by General Huo? How could he still escape!"

Xiao Zhongheng was full of surprise, he never thought that Huo Yuan would escape.

He still remembered the time when Huo Yuan sent people to surround Xiao Ruan and almost killed him. When he heard that Huo Xun had severely injured Huo Yuan, he wanted to lead people to hunt down Huo Yuan himself.

Hearing the news that the other party had escaped at this time, I thought it was a joke by Lu Hanrui,

"That grandson was not injured at all! All the blood on his body belongs to other people!"

When Huo Yuan was mentioned, Lu Hanrui's face was full of anger.

Zhao Yan arranged for Huo Yuan to attack the palace together, but within a moment Huo Yuan noticed something unusual.

Huo Xun immediately led people to turn against him. Huo Yuan was not Huo Xun's opponent. The soldiers led by Huo Xun retreated steadily, and soon became seriously injured and became prisoners.And Huo Xun, under the guise of King Huai's order, handed Huo Yuan over to Lu Hanrui, and entered the palace with the prince to rescue him.

Lu Hanrui thought that Huo Yuan was covered in blood and seriously injured, so he let down his vigilance. Unexpectedly, Huo Yuan would find an opportunity to escape on the way to the prison.

When Xiao Zhongheng, Huo Xun and the prince learned about the cause and effect, they all fell into silence.

Huo Yuan is now Zhao Yan's right-hand man, if he escapes, Zhao Yan's whereabouts may be hard to find.

"It is very likely that Huo Yuan escaped by joining Zhao Yan, did Mr. Lu find out in which direction Huo Yuan fled?
Lu Hanrui was extremely regretful, and when Xiao Zhongheng reminded him, he suddenly seemed to think of something: "I don't know which direction Zhao Yan is going to escape, but he is on the way to the prison, so they will never escape from the south gate... ... Huo Xun, where are you going!"

Just as Lu Hanrui was halfway through speaking, he suddenly saw Huo Xun's face change, he grabbed the rein in his hand and jumped onto the horse's back, showing a look of astonishment.

"Huo Yuan is not running away! He is going to seek revenge on Xiao Ruan!"

Huo Xun's face was ashen, he raised the whip high and lashed towards the horse's belly, and left without looking back after leaving this sentence.

"No, Huo Yuan may indeed threaten us with Ruan'er!"

Lu Hanrui didn't know about the entanglement between Huo Yuan and Xiao Ruan, and Xiao Zhongheng was the first to react in a daze.

The main street near the Xiao Mansion is the only place that leads to the prison of the Ministry of Justice. Huo Yuan knew that the forced palace had failed, so in order to leave the capital, he would most likely go to the Xiao Mansion.

If he really went to the Xiao Mansion...

Xiao Zhongheng didn't dare to think about it further, he hurriedly asked the prince to order people to chase Huo Xun together.

When Huo Xun arrived at Xiao's residence, there was a sound of shouting in front of the gate of Xiao's residence.On the dark street, crowds of people swarmed into Xiao's mansion, and the two big red lanterns in front of Xiao's mansion were swaying weakly in the wind.

Huo Xun and Xiao Zhongheng looked at each other, and hurriedly ordered people to go forward to encircle and suppress.

After finally clearing away the crowd around the door, Huo Xun and Xiao Zhongheng were about to rush to Xiao Ruan's yard when they saw Li Yun running over in a hurry.

"Where is the lady!"

Li Yun's face was full of panic, Huo Xun could almost hear the sound of the stone in his heart sinking to the bottom of the water, Xiao Zhongheng looked behind her and clenched his hands tightly.

"My lord, my wife was kidnapped by Huo Yuan."

Facing the nervous eyes of the two, Li Yun felt extremely guilty, and before they could ask, he quickly told the story of Xiao Ruan's kidnapping.

"My servant thought that Huo Yuan was the only one coming, but I didn't expect that there was someone outside the room to meet him. Zhuyun is now unconscious. The servant heard something unusual outside, and after chasing him, there was no trace of Madam..."

"He really came here!"

Huo Xun gritted his teeth and squeezed out a word, the chill emanating from his body almost froze all the people around him.

His eyes swept over the controlled crowd behind him, and Huo Xun's fists rattled: "Notify the city guards at the gates of each city that no one who leaves the city will be spared, and they must find King Huai and his wife!"

……

On the empty mountain path, the sound of horses hoofs startled a group of birds perched in the forest. A woman's groan was faintly heard between the rapid sound of horses hoofs. Immediately, someone in front stopped the horses and made everyone stop to rest.

The night wind was bleak, and the eastern sky was gradually turning pale.

Huo Yuan pulled the rein and looked back to see Zhao Yan walking towards the carriage in the middle, and a gloomy air condensed in his heart again.

He never believed that Huo Xun would really take refuge in Zhao Yan, he sent someone to secretly follow Huo Xun's every move, and he found out that it was abnormal.

Huo Yuan had been prepared for a long time, but he still didn't expect that more than half of the people in the army would follow Huo Xun to defect.In addition, he was not Huo Xun's opponent and was easily caught by Lu Hanrui.

When passing by Xiao's mansion, Huo Yuan felt unwilling when he thought of Xiao Ruan.Fortunately, the city was in chaos, Huo Xun soon sneaked into Xiao's mansion and robbed Xiao Ruan.

He thought there was no hope of escaping this time, and he was going to kill Xiao Ruan to make Huo Xun regret his whole life, but he didn't expect to meet someone sent by Zhao Yan.

After a while, the team set off again, and Huo Yuan finally couldn't help walking towards Zhao Yan: "My lord, all four gates in the city have been blocked now, it's important for us to escape, why are you still bringing this woman with you?"

Across the black veil-like night, Zhao Yan pretended to look over at Huo Yuan without speaking, then suddenly tightened the reins and threw Huo Yuan behind him.

"My lord!"

Huo Yuan yelled but Zhao Yan didn't respond, looked at the back of Zhao Yan's head for a moment, and had to follow up again.

At this moment, Xiao Ruan was leaning against the wall of the carriage, listening to the sound of horseshoes around him in the dark carriage, feeling anxious in his heart.

It had been more than half an hour since she woke up, but the carriage still didn't stop.Zhao Yan obviously failed to force the palace, but why no one came to chase them?

There was silence all around, Xiao Ruan was trapped with hands and feet, unable to tell what was around her, until the wheel seemed to hit a stone, she was thrown against the wall of the car and screamed in pain, the carriage stopped suddenly.

Xiao Ruan didn't expect that Zhao Yan would come up to check in person, so he hurriedly held his breath and pretended that he was still in a coma.

In the dark night, Zhao Yan entered the carriage and listened for a while, but did not see any other movement from Xiao Ruan, so he got out of the carriage again.When Xiao Ruan opened the car door, he saw the blurred tree shadows outside, and then realized that Zhao Yan was going to escape from the mountain road.

When she was taken away last night, it was only the time of Haishi at night, and it was not yet bright. Judging from the fact that there were no pursuers behind them, it was obvious that Huo Xun and the others hadn't realized that Zhao Yan wanted to leave by taking the mountain road.

There are only three gates in the west, south, and north of the capital to the outside world, and on the east side is the Qianyun Mountain with cliffs as a natural barrier.

On the sunny side of Qianyun Mountain, the terrain is flat, without any ups and downs, but on the back side there are many strange rocks, which are easy to defend and difficult to attack, because there are ferocious beasts infesting, except for brave hunters, no one passes by here at all.

The night was quiet, Xiao Ruan listened quietly to the sound of horseshoes outside, and after a rough estimate, he found that there were about 20 guards traveling with them, and his heart became more and more worried.

These people were all riding on fast horses, and they were obviously Zhao Yan's confidantes, and they wouldn't have accompanied him if they hadn't been very skilled.In this way, even if they encounter fierce beasts like tigers and lions, they don't have to worry. As long as they cross Qianyun Mountain, the world is so big that Zhao Yan can hide everywhere.

But in this case, wouldn't she be taken somewhere by Zhao Yan?

Zhao Yan's carriage and horses were all thrown halfway up the mountain, Xiao Ruan was also driven out of the carriage, and the sky was already bright at this time.Looking around, the entire Qianyun Mountain is lush and lush, with flowers blooming everywhere, and the scenery is excellent.

But Xiao Ruan was chased away by the guards at this time, and was forced to follow them up the mountain, not in the mood to enjoy the surrounding scenery at all.

"hurry up!"

Xiao Ruan looked around, hoping to see Huo Xun's shadow, but there was silence in the forest except for the sound of insects and birds, only the impatient urging of the guards.

Weeds were overgrown under his feet, Xiao Ruan's hands and feet were trapped, and he bumped in the car all night. At this time, he dragged his heavy body and couldn't walk fast, so he accidentally fell to the ground.

The moment Xiao Ruan fell to the ground, Xiao Ruan's heart almost jumped out, and she was very worried that something would happen to the child in her belly.

She was about to carefully feel if there was any discomfort in her abdomen when a pair of black cloud boots stained with mud suddenly appeared in front of him.

"I can't walk anymore, I need to rest!"

Xiao Ruan looked up along the cloud boots, and when he was wearing a jade-white jade pendant with double lotuses on his waist, his eyes flashed, and he simply sat on a bush, negotiating with the person before him.

The man's eyes stayed on Xiao Ruan's head for a long time, and finally he waved to the surrounding guards to signal everyone to stop and rest, while Xiao Ruan turned his gaze to one side and did not meet the man's gaze.

Seeing Xiao Ruan's resistance, the man stayed in front of it for a while and then slowly left.

Xiao Ruan didn't dare to turn his gaze back until he heard the footsteps of the other party leaving, but there was a hint of surprise in his eyes.

She had thought that Zhao Yan would yell at her sharply, or have someone drag her away forcibly, but the other party's behavior was always beyond her expectations.

What surprised her even more was that Zhao Yan was still wearing the jade pendant she gave him around his waist.

Looking up and looking around, Xiao Ruan's eyes inadvertently swept across Zhao Yan in the distance, seeing that he was arranging people to go hunting around, a strange emotion rose in his heart inexplicably.
