They were dressed in plain clothes, yet their deanor was like that of seasoned warriors; they definitely couldn’t be ordinary citizens banding together.
But there were no remnants of soldiers in the city anymore, so where did these troops co from?
Even if they were hiding among the populace, these past few days, they should have been discovered through searches, right? Where exactly did they co from?
Su Yan strained her thoughts and suddenly recalled an incident.
When she was in the Capital City, how did Cang Mo infiltrate the palace to abduct her?
Could it be...
Yes, it must be that!
This is the territory of Cangyue Country, there must be many secret passages; they must have infiltrated the city through one of them!
Upon thinking of this, Su Yan urgently shouted, "Turn back; I have sothing to tell the Emperor! Quickly, turn back!"
"Consort, the Emperor ordered that you cannot return!"
"No, I must return imdiately! Stop the carriage!" She couldn’t care about anything else now.
If there were many soldiers ambushing outside the city, then a part of them infiltrated through the secret passage, and another part rushed in from outside, it would certainly catch Chu Yuxiao off guard.
She couldn’t let anything happen to him, nor let him fall into the enemy’s ambush!
"Stop the carriage!" Seeing the carriage not only did not stop but ran faster, Su Yan couldn’t help but raise her voice.
More than a dozen guards were escorting her away, not heeding her advice, increasing their speed instead.
They showed no regard for Su Yan’s safety, letting her bounce around inside the carriage.
A chill swept over her heart.
Su Yan trembled all over, hastily gripping the carriage to steady herself, preventing any injury.
She had an ominous premonition, these people might not be Chu Yuxiao’s n...
Through the lifted curtain, Su Yan saw their faces cold and vicious, reinforcing her suspicion.
They might have long infiltrated Chu Yuxiao’s army...
Thoughts raced through her mind; she guessed they had two purposes for abducting her.
One was to hold her hostage, to threaten Chu Yuxiao in the future, and the other was taking her along; if exposed, they could use her as leverage.
No matter what sche they had, she wouldn’t let them succeed.
The only thing she could do now was to observe quietly, not revealing her suspicions, and seek the chance to escape.
The carriage continued for a long distance, roughly seventy or eighty miles, when Su Yan saw the opportune mont and suggested a break.
