Chapter 749: Chapter 749: Falling into a Desperate Situation (4)_1

"Mother, mother, don’t you want us either?" Li Yanran, still young, turned pale with fear at the sight of Mrs. Mu’s abandonment.

Li Jiesong, on the other hand, was driven to madness, "I’m not leaving! Mother, stop them immediately!"

"Don’t just stand there, drag them out." The Marquis Li commanded through gritted teeth.

Despite their reluctance, Li Yanran and Li Jiesong were forcibly dragged away by a malevolent servant.

Mrs. Mu tossed aside the dagger in her hand and, without a glance at the relieved people scattered around the room, made her way out.

Marquis Li shot her a questioning glance, "What’s she doing?"

"I’ve handed the people over to you, are you still keeping me captive?" Mrs. Mu was thoroughly disappointed with the Marquis, her tone no longer as gentle as it used to be.

"You..." Faced with Mrs. Mu’s silent accusation, Marquis Li took a moment, then swallowed his urge to lash out. At the end of the day, Li Yanran and Li Jiesong were his own flesh and blood. It was one thing to send them out for punishment, but if they were to be beaten to death, it would be an entirely different matter. The latter would mean that Li Yanran and Li Jiesong would become the Li Family’s everlasting shame – a consequence he was not willing to face.

Chu Suifeng seemed to have no intention of interfering with what happened in Marquis Residence. All he did was send a large number of black-armored soldiers to encircle the Li household. On his action, the townsfolk of Feng City could only sigh. They sighed, greatly admiring the soft-heartedness of the Crown Prince Ling, who still felt for the old Madame Li who had passed away and did not ruthlessly deal with the Li family.

If it were another family that had done what the Lis had done, they’d probably already have their entire family executed and rivers of blood would flow. Crown Prince Ling was truly an upright man.

When Mrs. Mu left the Li residence, the black-armored soldiers made no move to stop her, and watched indifferently as she boarded the carriage.

"To the post house." Only afterboarding the carriage did Mrs. Mu inform the coachman of her destination.

"Move." The coachman cracked his whip, and the carriage immediately started with a creaking sound.

Amidst the treacherous mountains, Lin Ziyin was in dire straits. Things on the battlefield were exactly as she had guessed. After the time it took for an incense stick to burn, Bayan’s side had completely fallen into the disadvantageous position.

"Protect Miss Lin and get out of here quickly." Despite the injures on his arm and back, Bayan ignored his own condition and hurriedly ordered the men around him.

"Bayan, you take Miss Lin and leave. Your martial arts skills are the highest." The people surrounding him whispered back resolutely.

"None of you will escape." The masked man interjected.

"Are you people from Changchun Country?" Bayan guessed at their identities.

"Damn it." The opposing leader glared at the earlier-speaking man.

The man bowed his head, not daring to speak again, as he had overstepped out of pride previously.

Upon hearing that the enemies were from Changchun Country, Lin Ziyin’s eyebrows slightly furrowed. Compared to Daqin and North Country, Changchun Country was relatively weaker. What were they participating in this affair for?

At this moment, Lin Ziyin didn’t have any goodwill towards them. Before their intentions were clear, she certainly was not going to put her life in their hands.

Her journey through the North Country was fraught with danger, but she was confident in her survival due to the presence of the second prince, who, based on his behavior in the marketplace, could be considered a gentleman.

Changchun Country? Lin Ziyin quickly began searching her memory for information about Changchun Country: Compared to Daqin and North Country, Changchun Country had less internal strife. But the catch was that she’d heard the Crown Prince of Changchun was overly proud and had a volatile personality. Seeing that he sent people to kidnap her, Lin Ziyin harbored no good feelings for him.
