Chapter 789 -789: Desperate Escape! (Part 2)
The carriage bumped more and more violently.
Liu Sisi firmly protected the three children as the carriage swayed continuously. The sounds of fighting, screams, and clashing weapons were incessant around her ears.
As the carriage suddenly made a sharp turn, there was a loud 鈥渂ang鈥 as a heavy object collided with the carriage, followed by a horrifying scream. A warm liquid sprayed onto the carriage curtain, and some specks reached Liu Sisi鈥檚 face. She instinctively wiped it off, only realizing what the liquid was when she smelled a fishy odor.
Before she could express her horror, a sudden 鈥渉issing鈥 sound came from the carriage. A gleaming sword tip pierced through the damaged spot.
Liu Sisi was shocked! As an instinct, she lunged forward, pressing the three children beneath her.
The sword tip failed to reach them in time, and another muffled groan sounded outside. The wielder of the long sword had already rolled away and disappeared.
...
Liu Sisi steadied herself and looked outside, only to find that the Hidden Guard and Zuo Xingyu were clinging to the sides of the carriage, fending off the bandits who continuously attacked the carriage.
While Liu Sisi looked out, Zuo Xingyu seemed to notice her gaze and unconsciously looked back, his eyes meeting hers.
鈥淏ig Brother Zuo, be careful!鈥
Liu Sisi was alarmed! Just as Zuo Xingyu turned his head, she saw someone sneaking an attack from behind him.
But before her words fell, Zuo Xingyu had already tilted his head abruptly and slashed back, dealing with the attacker on the spot.
鈥淒on鈥檛 come out! Protect yourselves!鈥
潣梆潣佛潣潣?co
Zuo Xingyu had no time to say more, as he quickly started fighting the incoming bandits again.
Through the slashed carriage curtain, Liu Sisi saw countless men in black emerging from both sides of the streets in the distance. They seemed intent on annihilating everyone in the carriage.
She turned to look back, and while the number of bandits behind had decreased significantly, the horsemen led by Prince Luo were still tangled in battle. As for Elder Di鈥檚 carriage, its whereabouts were unknown鈥攊t was unclear if it had moved ahead or fallen behind.
Suddenly, several carriages blocked the street entrance, leaving no way for the group to proceed.
Liu Sisi鈥檚 eyebrows twitched, and she decisively ordered, 鈥淭ake the avenue on the left! Aim for the crowd and charge directly! The main road is becoming more and more crowded with their people, and we鈥檙e at a significant disadvantage!鈥
鈥淎lright!鈥
The coachman agreed, flicked the reins, and dashed straight toward the left avenue.
The men in black blocked the main road, deliberately leaving the right side open, likely because they had set an ambush there. Liu Sisi purposely charged to the left, knowing that there was only one carriage blocking the entrance of the left avenue!
As their carriage barreled toward the left road, the people there not only didn鈥檛 back away, but also closed in on them.
This wouldn鈥檛 work!
Seeing the increasingly crowded gathering, Liu Sisi gritted her teeth. She suddenly pulled a dark object from a package, aimed it at the densest area of the crowd, and threw it.
Boom! Boom鈥斺€
Twin explosions reverberated, with flames surging to the sky. The carriage nearby was shattered, reduced to powder and scattered.
The unexpected noise scared many people, including the horses pulling Liu Sisi and the others. The panicked horses darted into a small path beside them.
鈥淒amn it! How did we end up in this small alley! Huh! Huh鈥斺€斺€
The coachman cursed loudly, unable to control the frightened horses. They let the animals run wildly with the carriage through the small alley, bumping and crashing until they reached the other end.
鈥淧refecture Princess, this is not the way to the Elders Manor! We should have taken a right turn! What should we do now?鈥
The coachman struggled to rein in the horses, not daring to be careless. Sweat covered his forehead and hands, even mixed with the bloodstains caused by the reins!
鈥淲hose manor is nearby?鈥
Liu Sisi looked back and saw that most of the bandits behind them were gone. She felt her heart lift when she saw Zuo Xingyu and the Shadow Guards still alive, riding horses and fighting the bandits as they pursued the carriage.
鈥淢any people鈥檚 manors are here. Yes, Prince Luo鈥檚 Mansion is also nearby!鈥 The coachman responded between moments of battle.
鈥淭hen head straight for Prince Luo鈥檚 Mansion!鈥
Liu Sisi decisively ordered, holding another dark object in her hand, aiming it at the crowd behind and biting the fuse before throwing it.
Boom!鈥斺€
Another blast sounded, and the group of bandits vanished without a trace, leaving behind severed limbs strewn everywhere.
The horse, startled by the sudden explosion, sped up even more. With a neigh, it raced toward the exit.
Liu Sisi was worried. Although she had thrown the object between Zuo Xingyu and the Shadow Guards鈥 gaps, she hadn鈥檛 had time to see if they were injured before the carriage had made a sharp turn, leaving the scene behind them out of view.
A moment later, a few figures caught up. Seeing that everyone was still alive, she finally sighed in relief.
They were all safe, thank goodness!
鈥淢adam, watch out!鈥 The coachman in front suddenly shouted in alarm.
鈥淎h! Mom鈥︹€
The child beside her also cried out, causing Liu Sisi to instinctively turn back. She couldn鈥檛 help but widen her eyes!
The speed of the running horse was too fast, and it couldn鈥檛 swerve in time. It charged directly toward the courtyard wall.
Rumble!鈥斺€
After a thundering noise, the wall collapsed, unable to bear the impact. The daring horses completed their mission in the world and fell to the ground, convulsing a few times before falling still.
The four people in the carriage collided violently and tumbled out of the carriage, hitting the ground hard.
鈥淐ough, cough, cough鈥︹€
Liu Sisi felt as if she was dying. There was not a single part of her body that didn鈥檛 ache, especially her injured left hand, which throbbed with searing pain as if her wrist was broken!
Still, she had no time to dwell on this. She immediately searched for the children, calling out, 鈥淣iuniu! Chou Chou! Little one! Where are you?鈥
鈥淢om鈥︹€

She didn鈥檛 spend much time before she helped all the children up. Without checking in detail but only taking a brief glance, she didn鈥檛 find any visible injuries and finally sighed in relief.
鈥淧refecture Princess, watch out behind you!鈥
The frightened voice of the coachman sounded once again.
As Liu Sisi instinctively turned her head, she saw a man in black holding a long sword, aiming it at her forehead and stabbing without hesitation.
