It was pitch black outside. It was midnight and there were not many people in the wilderness.
However, Lord Yun and his family escaped death, came out of the secret passage, and looked around.
"It's outside the city. This is the secret passage that Zheng'er made when he was a child. I didn't expect it to be useful now."
Madam Yun also breathed a sigh of relief: "We have escaped, sir, is it really the emperor who wants to kill us?"
Lord Yun shook his head and said, "It may not be the emperor. It could be someone else who is using the emperor's name to kill us and alienate the relationship between our Yun family and the emperor."
It has to be said that Lord Yun, who has been dealing with various court officials in the imperial court for many years, does have some brains and ideas.
Looking at the dark night, Mrs. Yun just breathed a sigh of relief, but then started to worry again.
"Where are we going now?"
There is Liu Qiaoer's villa and Pei family's villa outside the capital, but there is no Yun family's residence.
Lord Yun can support his family with his salary, but it will cost a lot of money to buy a villa in the suburbs of Beijing.
Unexpectedly, Lord Yun and his family had just walked a short distance when suddenly, a group of men in black appeared in front of them.
"Master Yun, I didn't expect you to be able to escape like this."
However, Fu Yumen had already arranged spies in the Yun family, and notified them as soon as the Yun family escaped.
Fu Yumen arranged for someone to pick them up outside the city. Originally, they were supposed to pick up the people who were going to assassinate the Yun family, but they didn't expect them to escape.
The man in black waved his hand without saying a word and gave his men only one order: "Kill."
There were more people outside, and the remaining guards were no match for the remaining four. Soon, an arrow was aimed at Lord Yun's chest.
"Sir, sir." Sir Yun was shot by an arrow, and Madam Yun quickly supported him.
Liu Qiaoer was protected by Chunyu at the entrance of the cave. She tried to take Liu Qiaoer back with her, as it would be safer to go back now.
In the space, Long Batian watched the Yun family being slaughtered unilaterally by Fu Yumen and asked, "Save them?"
Liu Qiaoer thought for a moment and said, "Wait a little longer. Yun Zheng should be here soon. Even if we have to save someone, we have to win him over."
Long Batian immediately said: "I'll go take a look."
Long Batian appeared directly on the city wall and stood in the dark so that he would not be discovered. He took out a telescope and looked towards the capital city. Sure enough, there was a group of people rushing out of the city.
"We're almost there, better hold on a little longer."
Liu Qiaoer suddenly attacked and knocked Chunyu unconscious.
Then, he twisted the arrow in his sleeve and shot it at the man in black who was about to kill Madam Yun.
The man in black injured his arm and temporarily retreated.
Soon after, the next man in black came.
Liu Qiaoer helped Lord Yun up and threw out a bolt of lightning in her hand.
"Go into the cave quickly and guard the door."
When the thunder and fire appeared, many men in black were killed or injured. The men in black quickly retreated. Liu Qiaoer took Lord Yun and Madam Yun, as well as Nanny and Lan Ying, and hid in the cave.
Madam Yun held the stabbed Lord Yun tightly in her hands, feeling both scared and sad.
"My Lord, are you all right?"
Lord Yun was in great pain, his lips turned white, and the blood from the wound would not stop flowing.
Liu Qiaoer was guarding the cave entrance, and arrows were shot at from time to time. The cave entrance was very small, and it seemed like one man could block the passage of ten thousand.
Every arrow that came was blocked by Liu Qiaoer.
"If the people inside don't come out, we will set fire to it."
Lord Yun was almost dying. Madam Yun was crying like rain and dared not make a sound. The nanny also had a wound on her leg. Lan Ying supported Lord Yun, her legs shaking with fear.
Liu Qiaoer threw another thunder and fire outside and asked loudly: "Who are you? Lord Yun is loyal to the court. If the emperor knew that you assassinated him, he would definitely track you down to the end."
“Hahahaha…” the man in black outside laughed wildly.
"Don't worry about who we are. Anyway, we are going to take their lives today. Come out and die quickly. We can consider leaving an intact body."
Just when Liu Qiao'er was considering whether to go out, Long Batian suddenly reminded her: "Yun Zheng is here."
Now that Yun Zheng had arrived, it was time to use the self-torture tactic. Liu Qiaoer pulled out the software from her waist and rushed out.
"I won't let you touch them."
"Hmph, you are just their daughter-in-law. There is no need for you to risk your life for them. When the Yun family is gone, you can remarry." The tone of the man in black was quite frivolous.
Liu Qiaoer started to fight with them, but her original body's martial arts were not very good. Although Liu Qiaoer knew some martial arts, she had to use weapons to deal with zombies, and she was not good at cold weapons.
After just a few moves, the man in black hit him on the chest with a palm and sent him flying far away.
But just when Liu Qiaoer thought she was sure to fall, suddenly, someone grabbed her waist from behind and pushed her hard, and Liu Qiaoer finally stood steadily.
"Who are you?" Yun Zheng came with his men.
The black-clothed man's expression tensed up, and he suddenly shot at Yun Zheng and the cave entrance, then waved his hand and said, "Retreat."
Yun Zheng waved his sword and blocked all the hidden arrows, and Liu Qiaoer was safe and sound.
"Go check on your father, he's injured."
Some of Yun Zheng's men went to chase the man in black, and someone helped to carry Lord Yun out of the cave.
Lord Yun had blood gushing out of his chest. He saw Yun Zheng coming and stretched out his hand to him, but before he could shake his hand, he died.
Madam Yun cried so hard that she fainted.
Some people here had already called for a doctor, and some had also gone to get a carriage.
Soon, the carriage came and Yun Zheng sent Madam Yun, Nanny and Lan Ying onto the carriage.
The doctor was also examining Lord Yun while rushing home.
In fact, Lord Yun was already dying, but the doctor still wanted to save him.
Everyone was getting ready to go back. Liu Qiaoer and Chunyu were just about to get on the carriage when Yun Zheng held out his hand to her: "The carriage is full, let's ride horses."
Liu Qiaoer looked at him quietly. Even if they were riding a horse, she couldn't ride the same one with Yun Zheng.
"This afternoon, my wife told me that she would divorce you tomorrow."
Yun Zheng's face darkened. He bent down, pulled Liu Qiaoer's hand up, supported her waist with his other hand, and placed her whole body on his chest.
"Let's talk about the divorce later, go home."
Liu Qiaoer wanted to say something, but Madam Yun and Lord Yun's carriage passed by her. Well, let's talk about everything after daybreak.
The Yun family was in a mess, and Lord Yun eventually died of excessive blood loss.
Madam Yun cried so much that she fainted. The maids and servants of the Yun family were either killed or injured, and the guards also suffered heavy losses.
Yun Zheng was busy all night just dealing with household matters.
Liu Qiaoer quietly accompanied Madam Yun, neither sad nor happy, with a wooden expression.
Finally, everything was arranged and Yun Zheng returned to the room. Exhausted, he accompanied the unconscious Madam Yun, and sat at the head and foot of the bed with Liu Qiaoer.
"Do you know who those people in black are?"
Yun Zheng's voice was tired but revealed hidden anger.
Liu Qiaoer shook her head gently: "I don't know, a guard found a token and said it was the emperor's secret guard."
Yun Zheng stared at Liu Qiaoer with a sharp look in his eyes: "But the guards who exchanged moves with them were from Fu Yumen."
Liu Qiaoer didn't say anything, but looked at Yun Zheng neither humbly nor arrogantly.
"I have no idea."
Yun Zheng's thin lips moved, and he suddenly reached out his hand towards Liu Qiao'er...
