Chapter 233 Successfully escaped and destroyed the cave entrance.
"This is a potent sleeping potion. You two are the strongest, so help me sprinkle the powder around those soldiers. Make sure they inhale it."
Upon hearing this, the two immediately nodded, took the stack of sleeping pills handed over by Shen Shuli, and began to take action.
Shen Shuli looked at Xuan Ye and Xuan Feng and said, "You two finish off the first people who are poisoned, so that no one wakes up prematurely."
After Xuan Ye and the other person nodded, they followed closely behind and left.
Half an hour later, Xuan Guang, Xue Bufan, Xuan Ye, and Xuan Feng returned one after another.
The soldiers guarding the village have all been dealt with, but many villagers are still resting in the houses.
Everyone's heart was pounding with tension as they cautiously followed the person in front of them.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief after successfully reaching the village entrance.
During the day, when Shen Shuli and her group of five entered the village, they dealt with several people guarding the area.
So much time has passed.
It seems that no one in the village has noticed that something is wrong here.
The group left the village safely, where the Su and Shen families were already waiting.
Su Yunhai contacted Shen Yuehua in advance via walkie-talkie, asking her to quickly notify her family to pack their luggage and wait near the village.
After they met, they left without hesitation.
We just left here.
Then something went wrong at the iron ore mine.
The prisoners left in the cave regained their mobility after an hour.
Xue Bufan did not completely give up on these prisoners, and Shen Shuli even removed the iron hooks from their feet.
The cell door was not closed.
The reason for leaving the prisoners here was simply to avoid taking them with us and causing unnecessary trouble.
But it also gave them a chance to save themselves.
Upon discovering that they had regained their mobility, the prisoners immediately cried out and rushed out.
When the other prisoners saw that someone had run away, they all ran after them.
They have absolutely no idea how to be low-key.
The person at the front ran out of the cave, not knowing where to go, and like a headless fly, randomly chose a direction.
Seeing this, the prisoners behind also ran after the people in front.
They made too much of a commotion.
They were quickly discovered by the soldiers guarding the area.
"Guards! The prisoner has escaped! Arrest him immediately!"
The criminal didn't expect to be discovered so quickly!
They all scattered and fled in even greater terror.
But it was very dark at night, and the prisoners were unfamiliar with the terrain.
He was captured by soldiers not long after he started running.
The soldiers were surprised that the prisoners had managed to escape.
After they were brought back, they discovered that quite a few people were missing!
"The number is wrong! Keep looking!" the squad leader immediately ordered.
"Sir, those men ran away an hour early!"
"Yes, yes, we can all testify! Those people ran away a long time ago!"
The prisoners who remained harbored deep resentment towards those who left.
They resent being abandoned!
Now that their escape attempt had failed, their resentment was at its peak, and they desperately wanted those people to be caught as well!
The soldiers were surprised that someone had escaped beforehand and immediately realized the seriousness of the situation!
"Go! Quickly inform the general!"
soon.
The entire mine and barracks were in an uproar!
All the troops from all the barracks were mobilized and sent down the mountain to the village to search for the escaped prisoners.
That's when they realized it.
All five hundred soldiers guarding the village have been killed!
General Wu was furious, his eyes blazing with rage: "Quickly, go out of the village to search! If we delay the Prince's important business, we will all have to die to atone for it!"
"Yes!"
The prisoner and the Su and Shen families hurriedly fled down the mountain.
Xie Chengyuan was still being carried on Xue Bufan's back. He whispered to Xue Bufan, "We can't run down the mountain. We have to go deep into the mountains to have a chance to escape."
Xue Bufan quickly realized what was happening.
If the army discovers they have escaped, they will certainly be able to catch up with them faster than the prisoners.
And after descending the mountain.
They cannot enter the city; instead, they will be intercepted by the prefect of Yunzhou.
The only way to escape was along the main road.
No matter what, they couldn't outrun those armies.
Only by venturing deep into the mountains can one find a glimmer of hope!
Xue Bufan ignored Xie Chengyuan and went back to find Shen Shuli and Mu Wanjun.
In his subconscious, he believed that these two young women were the ones who could make the decisions.
"Princess, Miss Shen, we cannot go down the mountain; we must go deeper into the mountains."
Xue Bufan then shared his analysis.
Xie Chengyuan was immediately relieved to see that Xue Bufan had followed his advice.
He listened openly to their conversation with his eyes closed and his ears perked up.
Shen Shuli was preoccupied with other things and didn't think much of it.
They realized it at that moment.
“It was my oversight. Let’s head into the mountains immediately. Hopefully, we can still make it in time!” Shen Shuli nodded in agreement immediately.
"Boom!"
Suddenly, a violent explosion rang out in the mountains.
It scared everyone.
Shen Shuli felt a chill run down her spine; she hadn't expected those people to arrive so quickly!
When she left, she planted a number of bombs in the cave leading to the entrance.
This was to temporarily slow down the pursuers.
"Everyone, quickly throw everything away! Run into the mountains immediately!" Shen Shuli immediately shouted the order to the Su and Shen families.
The prisoner was not carrying any supplies, but both the Su and Shen families had brought a lot of food, which made it difficult for them to escape at this moment.
Both families obeyed Shen Shuli's words without question and immediately unloaded all the burdens.
"Xuan Guang, you lead the escorts and Silver Armor Guards to clear the way."
"The able-bodied men in the team should carry the children, as well as the frail elderly and pregnant women, on their backs and set off immediately."
Everyone moved quickly, carrying their children and elderly relatives on their backs. For families with too many children and elderly relatives, they asked the stronger bodyguards for help.
The group quickly resumed their escape.
"Father, you go first, I'll catch up with you later," Shen Shuli said to Su Yunhai.
Su Yunhai didn't know what she wanted to do, but he didn't ask any further questions.
It must be related to the army behind them.
"Be very careful!"
Before leaving the village, Shen Shuli deliberately placed a number of bombs in the cave leading to the village.
The deafening explosion just now was from someone triggering a bomb.
The passageway leading this way has been destroyed, so the soldiers can't catch up for the time being.
However, Shen Shuli didn't know if there were any other exits from that village in this direction, so she had to be careful.
Besides, she still had her eye on that iron mine.
She had to go back no matter what.
Shen Shuli first returned to the place where the supplies were discarded and put them all into her spatial storage before heading to the village entrance.
As soon as I arrived at the entrance of the passageway, I noticed some movement behind me.
Her hair stood on end, and she immediately changed position, hiding in the shadows and taking out her night vision goggles to check behind her.
"Miss Shen, it's me!"
Xie Chengyuan didn't see Shen Shuli for quite a while before noticing that she had left the group at some point.
He quickly asked Xue Bufan to find a chance to put him down, and he hurriedly chased after him.
I didn't expect to scare people, so I quickly spoke up to warn them.
Upon hearing this, Shen Shuli immediately recognized Xie Chengyuan's voice, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and stepped forward to ask him.
"It's you? How did you get here?"
Xie Chengyuan explained, "I noticed you were missing, and after asking your father, I learned that you had returned. I was worried about you, so I followed you to check on you."
"Why did you risk so much to come back? Is there something important that needs to be addressed?"
