As he couldn't see who it was, Mu Chen immediately put away the Night Pearl and took his sister to hide in the bushes nearby. At this late hour, he was afraid of running into bad guys and getting caught again.
Pan Ning rode his horse and rushed over with Hao'er. Knowing that he was anxious, he comforted him, "Don't worry, there is only one way to the imperial capital besides the waterway. They won't use such a large number of watercraft to escort two children, so they will only take this road. This road is not close to the fork in the road. I guess they haven't reached the fork in the road yet, so they will catch up."
Haoer half crouched, holding the reins, looking ahead with worry, hoping to see his brother and sister. However, when the horses galloped past the two little guys from far away, they didn't even notice that there was someone in the bushes.
It was Mu Chen and Mu Yue who saw the elder brother sitting in front of the horse and hurried out to shout, "Brother, brother, we are here! Brother!"
The horses galloped for dozens of meters. When Hao'er heard a faint sound coming from behind, his expression was shocked. He turned around suddenly and saw two little guys waving their hands and calling him under the moonlight.
"My brother and sister are there! Go back quickly!" Hao'er said in surprise and tightened the reins.
Pan Ning also heard the sound behind him, and he turned his horse's head and rode towards them. The horse stopped only when it arrived in front of them, and the child sitting in front of him had already jumped off.
"Chen'er, Yue'er, how are you? Are you hurt?" Hao'er asked nervously, pulling them up and down to look them up.
"Brother, we are not hurt." The two little guys said in unison.
Haoer saw that both of them were dirty, but they looked at him with bright eyes. He couldn't help but hug them tightly in his arms: "I'm sorry, it's all my fault. I didn't protect you well."
Mu Chen patted his back awkwardly and said, "Brother, we are fine, don't worry."
"Yeah, we're fine, don't worry, brother." Yue'er also imitated her brother and patted her brother on the back.
Pan Ning looked at the three children and finally felt relieved. He let out a sigh of relief and looked at the two younger ones with surprise in his eyes.
How did such a young child escape? And after encountering such a thing, he was able to comfort his brother so calmly. He was really sensible.
"How did you escape? Where are the people who captured you?" Pan Ning dismounted and asked.
The two younger ones glanced at him. When they saw it was him, Mu Chen said nothing, while Yue Er smiled and called out, "Uncle."
Looking at the little girl's sweet smile, Pan Ning also smiled: "Yeah."
"Uncle, the bad guys are dead." She said with a smile, "So we ran away." As for how they died, she didn't say.
Hearing this, Pan Ning was slightly surprised and wanted to ask something, but he saw the three children gathered together to talk again, so he gave up.
Knowing that their eldest brother is not an ordinary person, I guess these two little ones are not ordinary people either.
"It's late now, let's go back to the city first!" Pan Ning said, looking at the three of them.
