Chapter 790 -790: Desperate Escape! (Part 3)
At this moment, Liu Sisi was surrounded by the three children, and her maternal instincts made her instinctively step in front of the children to protect them.
She watched as the long sword with a cold glow grew closer and closer to her鈥
鈥淢mm!鈥
The other party suddenly let out a soft hum, and the long sword in their hand stopped an inch before Liu Sisi鈥檚 throat.
Liu Sisi raised her head and found that the attacker had already been slashed in half at the waist, and Zuo Xingyu was standing grimly by his side.
He kicked the body away, then abruptly pulled Liu Sisi up.
...
鈥淲hat are you waiting for? Let鈥檚 go!鈥
As he spoke, he grabbed Liu Sisi and threw her onto the horseback, then mounted the horse himself.
鈥淢y children!鈥
Liu Sisi tried to dismount the horse. She knew this was not the right moment, but leaving the three children behind to save her own life was even worse than killing her.
鈥淒on鈥檛 panic! They鈥檙e already here! Hurry, take the children and run, I鈥檒l cover your retreat!鈥
Zuo Xingyu fought desperately, shielding everyone from the approaching men in black. With every attack he unleashed, one or two enemies lost their lives.

The Shadow Guards who arrived later were hindered by the terrain, unable to break through the encirclement. Zuo Xingyu was struggling to hold his ground, and the situation was growing increasingly desperate.
Liu Sisi carried Niuniu on her back, grabbed Chou Chou and Xiaoxiao, and ran for her life towards the exit!
She dared not run on the main road, so she had to make her way through the alleys. She kept running and looking back at the men in black chasing them.
鈥淢om! Mom, Xiaoxiao can鈥檛 run anymore. Just leave us behind! You, you go!鈥

Xiaoxiao forcefully pulled away from Liu Sisi鈥檚 hand. His short legs just couldn鈥檛 keep up, and Chou Chou was in the same situation, gasping for air and completely drained of energy.
If this continued, none of them would be able to escape!
Liu Sisi clenched her teeth, saw a small door nearby and tried pushing it open, and it actually did!
Without any other choice, she rushed in with the children.
Liu Sisi, in a state of panic, led the three children and instinctively looked for hiding places. By chance, they hid behind a horse stable, startling the horses into sneezing and becoming restless.
From the outside, the sounds of shouting and fighting were deafening, gradually approaching from a distance. Blood filled the air as the battle continued, then gradually moved further away until it became quiet again outside.
In the wing courtyard of the residence.
鈥淴iaochunzi, Xiaochunzi.鈥
Suddenly, a soft call came from the bedroom in front.
The attendant resting in the outer room quickly lit a lamp and hurried over: 鈥淕o and see what鈥檚 going on outside the backyard? Why is it so noisy?鈥
鈥淵es, Young Master.鈥
Little Spring quickly put on his coat and took a lantern, heading towards the backyard.
At this moment, Liu Sisi was extremely anxious too! The reason was naturally related to the noise outside.
She originally heard the fighting sound moving away, and then sneaked out from behind the stable, intending to leave stealthily. However, just as she poked her head out, she saw a large number of Imperial Guards searching every house for fugitives. She quickly retreated back into the courtyard.
Zuo Xingyu and the others鈥 whereabouts were unknown at the moment, and she had just arrived in the capital city, unfamiliar and dragging along three children. With the ongoing investigation, she couldn鈥檛 figure out what to do. How could she escape this predicament?
Little Spring, holding the lantern while yawning, occasionally greeted a patrol soldier or two on the way. As he walked further back, the scenery of the backyard became more desolate.
鈥淲hat on earth is going on out there at this late hour? Isn鈥檛 it already curfew? How could there be so many bandits jumping around? Don鈥檛 people need to sleep? My young master is causing trouble at this late hour, making me, Little Spring, do this errand. Oh, yawn鈥︹€
Little Spring muttered and yawned while swaying towards the back gate.
But just as his hand was about to reach the side gate of the backyard, he suddenly felt a sharp pain in his waist, and a sharp object was pressed against his chest.
鈥淒on鈥檛 move! If you don鈥檛 want to die, just obediently follow my orders!鈥
With his chest restrained, Little Spring dared not move. The lantern in his hand fell to the ground, and the candle flame inside flickered twice before extinguishing.
Although it was just a split second, Little Spring still saw the person clearly: 鈥淔emale hero, spare my life! Female hero, spare my life! Whatever you want, Little Spring will do his best to comply!鈥 In the face of mortal danger, everything else could be put aside.
鈥
Commander Yang鈥檚 mood was very bad, to be precise, he was furious!
What made him even angrier was that so many people were chasing a carriage and still managed to lose the target!
When they finally found out that the person in question had already escaped, their men had been chasing down the street after several others who had created chaos in the front.
Commander Yang, enraged, killed a few useless men in a fit of anger before finally calming down and leading the troops back, launching a carpet-style search! He couldn鈥檛 believe that in just a short half-hour, a woman who didn鈥檛 even know martial arts and dragged three children with her could escape their pursuit.
鈥淪earch carefully for me! I have an edict written by the Empress herself, allowing me to execute first and report later! Break open all these doors if we need to! If anyone dares not to open their door, break through it! I want to see who would dare to stop me, the commander!鈥
Commander Yang sternly scolded and commanded the men to approach and knock on the doors.
The deputy commander, who couldn鈥檛 bear to watch, whispered anxiously: 鈥淵our Honor, this area around here is the back door of the residences of many important court ministers, and this path is specifically for servants to enter and exit. If we create a ruckus like this, we might alarm these civil and military officials. If they complain to His Majesty in the morning, even the Empress might not be able to cover up this matter!鈥
鈥淗umph! As long as I catch and eliminate that person tonight, what does a little punishment matter?鈥
Commander Yang saw the situation clearly. As long as the person was captured and the potential problems were eliminated, he didn鈥檛 care about any punishment.
The deputy commander hesitated for a moment: 鈥淏ut what if we can鈥檛 find the person?鈥
If they couldn鈥檛 find the person, His Majesty would certainly blame the Empress, and the Empress would have to find a scapegoat, which would most likely be Commander Yang!
Commander Yang鈥檚 face twisted in fury: 鈥淪ince you know, what are you still doing dawdling here? Get going and find her!鈥
鈥淪earch carefully for me! If anyone dares to secretly release the female fugitive, I will make them regret ever coming into this world!鈥
The men below dared not slack off, and all the doors were banging loudly. The few back doors that could not be broken open were directly broken into, and the search began immediately. The entire area of the officials鈥 residences was suddenly in chaos, with curses and commotion everywhere.
