PFC Chapter 333 Escape
Chapter 333 Escape
As night fell, the city of Jinyang was brightly lit.
The streets were covered with notices.
Each portrait vividly depicts Yaohua's appearance, and the reward amount is staggering.
Li Cunxu issued a death order to search the entire city for the woman who caused Qiu Ziyue to lose her child.
Yao Hua hid in a dilapidated abandoned warehouse, her face as pale as paper.
She gritted her teeth, her heart filled with fear and despair.
Since Qiu Ziyue fell into a coma, Li Cunxu's pursuit of her has become even more frantic, and the entire city of Jinyang seems to have become her prison.
"Why...why is this happening?"
Yao Hua muttered to herself, her eyes filled with resentment.
"I had already bribed someone to take the blame for me, yet I still ended up in this situation."
"Why did I lose my family within a few days, leaving me all alone and helpless?"
"Why is it that I love Prince Li Cunxu so much, yet he prefers to love someone who has been married before and ignores me?"
……
She clenched her fists so tightly that her nails dug deep into her palms, and blood seeped out.
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps came from afar. Yao Hua suddenly raised her head and held her breath.
Through the dilapidated window, she saw several soldiers carrying torches walking in this direction.
As they walked, they shouted:
"Search thoroughly! We must not let her get away!"
Yao Hua's heart raced instantly; she knew she had to escape immediately.
She quickly stood up, looked around, and searched for a possible way out.
However, the warehouse had long been in disrepair, and its doors and windows were sealed off.
The only place to escape was a narrow ventilation shaft.
Without thinking twice, Yao Hua climbed to the vent and forcefully pushed the cover open.
Despite her finger being cut and bleeding profusely, she did not back down.
She squeezed through the ventilation opening and crawled into the dark sewer.
The sewers were dark and damp, and emitted a nauseating stench.
Yao Hua covered her nose, suppressing her nausea, and groped her way forward.
Her footsteps echoed through the empty pipes, each step sounding exceptionally heavy.
Suddenly, a faint light appeared ahead.
Yao Hua was overjoyed and quickened her pace.
When she finally reached the exit, she found herself in a desolate suburb.
All around was silent, with only the sound of the wind whistling in my ears.
Yao Hua breathed a sigh of relief, but did not let her guard down.
She knew that Li Cunxu would not let her off easily.
To survive, she must find a new hiding place and completely change her identity.
She touched the money in her arms; it was her last hope.
Although the amount was not large, it was enough to support her for a period of time.
Yaohua decides to go to a nearby village, change her name, and start a new life.
However, fate never seemed to intend to let her go.
Just as she was about to leave, a mysterious man in a cloak quietly appeared behind her.
His gaze was icy, and he held a sharp dagger in his hand.
"You must be Yaohua?"
The man's voice was deep and dangerous.
Yao Hua shuddered and turned to run away, but the man grabbed her wrist firmly.
She looked at the other person in horror, her voice trembling:
"Who...who are you?"
The man sneered:
"I am Su Er, entrusted by the Prince of Jin to take your life."
Yao Hua's heart almost stopped beating.
She struggled desperately to break free, but the man's strength far exceeded her expectations.
Just when she thought she was about to die, a voice suddenly came from afar.
"Let her go!"
It turned out to be the assassin Qin Feng.
Qin Feng's assassination attempt on Li Cunxu failed last time. He was shot in the leg by Li Cunxu's pistol and recuperated for more than two months.
By now, his injuries had mostly healed. He rode his horse at breakneck speed, his face filled with anger and murderous intent.
"Su Er, you've betrayed us!" Qin Feng roared.
"Qin Feng, how much longer do you intend to continue down this path of crime? Sooner or later, the Alliance Leader will kill you."
Su Er answered.
Of the three top assassins of the Crippled Blood Alliance who attempted to assassinate Li Cunxu, only Su Er and Qin Feng remain.
At this moment, Su Er released Yao Hua's wrist, turned around, drew his dagger, and faced Qin Feng.
The two engaged in a fierce battle under the moonlight, their swords flashing and sparks flying.
Yao Hua seized the opportunity to hide in the bushes nearby, watching the battle unfold before her with extreme terror in her heart.
She knew that if she were discovered by the soldiers again, she would surely die.
Therefore, she must seize this opportunity to disappear from this place completely.
While the two were locked in fierce combat, Yaohua quietly left the scene and disappeared into the vast night.
Yao Hua ran forward desperately, listening to the sounds of swords clashing in the distance.
The fight between Qin Feng and Su Er was exceptionally fierce, and each impact seemed to shatter the silence of the night.
Her heart was pounding, and all she could think about was how to escape this dangerous situation.
Suddenly, a series of hurried footsteps came from not far away.
Yao Hua suddenly looked up and saw a masked man dressed in black rapidly approaching.
Startled, she thought pursuers had arrived again. Just as she was about to flee, the man stopped and whispered:
"Come with me."
Yao Hua hesitated for a moment, but quickly realized that this might be the only way out.
She nodded and followed the masked man through the dense forest to a secluded path.
The path was overgrown with weeds and almost no one paid any attention to it.
The masked man led her at a brisk pace until they entered an abandoned old house.
"Who are you? Why are you helping me?"
Yao Hua asked, panting.
The masked man removed his mask, revealing a familiar yet calm face.
"Xiao Yuan."
Yao Hua was stunned. She never expected that someone would be willing to help her in this desperate situation.
It turned out to be an admirer she had once rejected.
Xiao Yuan was a guard under Li Cunxu, and she had seen Yao Hua dance before.
He fell in love with Yaohua, so he proposed marriage to her family.
However, Lord Zhao, who was obsessed with marrying into a higher social class, would never allow his daughter to marry a guard.
Yaohua was also determined to become the Princess Consort of Jin, but she looked down on Xiao Yuan.
Why...why would you do this?
Xiao Yuan sighed:
"That's all I can do for you. The rest of the journey is up to you."
Yao Hua nodded gratefully:
"Thank you, I will remember your kindness."
Xiao Yuan handed her a package:
"There are some dry rations and a change of clothes here, enough to last you for a while."
Head north, there's a mountainous area with few people; you can hide there temporarily. Remember to disguise yourself to avoid being recognized.
Yao Hua took the package, a warm feeling welling up in her heart.
Her eyes darted around and she said:
"Since you are willing to help me, it means you still love me. I am willing to become your wife. Would you be willing to wander the world with me?"
"Not now, the Prince of Jin will suspect me. You go first, and I will come to find you after I've settled things here."
Yao Hua nodded and embarked on a new journey.
She followed the direction Xiao Yuan pointed and headed towards the northern mountains.
Throughout the journey, she kept recalling the past, but her heart was filled with hatred.
He thought that if he could get out alive, he could find a chance to escape.
A few days later, Yaohua finally arrived at the mountainous area.
The area is characterized by rolling hills and dense forests, seemingly isolated from the world.
She found a secluded cave as a temporary dwelling and began her life in seclusion.
During the day, she gathers wild fruits and digs wild vegetables, and at night she weaves straw ropes and mends clothes in the cave.
She now lives a life completely different from the pampered life she once had as a young lady from a wealthy family.
