Becoming a literary master starting from the story of Minglan

Chapter 162 Chase
She grabbed Rong Feiyan and tore off the extra clothes and skirts that made it difficult for them to walk, doing everything she could to arm themselves so that they could run and move through the mountains and forests more easily.

"Young lady, right now, we can only hope that these complicated mountain paths can stop those men in black!"

While tidying up their clothes, Peony explained to Rong Feiyan.

"What? We're going into the mountains?"

However, Rong Feiyan, who was completely bewildered, heard nothing but the words "go into the mountains".

"No! No, I don't want to go in!"

Looking at the overgrown, thorny wilderness, the pampered Rong Feiyan immediately became unwilling!

Her lips trembled as she struggled to ask, "Peony...Peony, can we go back along the mountain path?"

She wasn't stupid; she knew this wasn't the time to throw a tantrum, so Rong Feiyan simply offered her own thoughts.

Of course, those were just unrealistic ideas.

"As long as we get into the city and find the Imperial Guards, we'll be saved!"

Rong Feiyan let Mudan tighten her belt, and said blankly.

"no!"

Peony flatly refused!
"girl!"

Before the man in black arrived, she quickly spoke up, explaining to Rong Feiyan, "Please don't think about these things!"

She pointed to the trap on the ground and said helplessly, "Look, this tripwire is obviously a trap set by those men in black!"

"Not to mention what other traps might lie on the mountain path ahead, how could the two of us possibly keep up with the speed of those men in black?"

"Now that the guard is gone, the two of us are no match for any of those people!"

"So, if they catch up with us, then..."

Peony didn't continue speaking, but Rong Feiyan had regained her senses.

"Okay...okay...Peony...I'll do whatever you say!"

At this moment, Rong Feiyan finally realized the situation and made the best choice.

"Okay, let's go quickly!"

Peony took a deep breath, mustered her courage, and walked to the horse that was whimpering incessantly: "Horse, I'm sorry!"

She picked up the large knife that the third guard had thrown by the roadside and slashed it hard at the horse's rump.

"Wow~"

"Sigh~"

The sounds of bleeding and horses neighing suddenly rang out together!
"Teng!"

The horse, as if experiencing a sudden burst of energy before death, stood up abruptly after suffering such a severe injury!

"His~~"

The poor horse was almost going crazy; it didn't care about anything else, just kept running forward despite the pain in its body.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Under Mudan's control, the mad horse galloped straight into the dense forest beside the road.

"Tear~"

"Chichi~"

Countless thorns and branches in the dense forest were trampled and knocked to the ground by this mad horse. Although it was also covered in wounds and blood, as a poor horse that had been hurt again and again, it didn't care about anything and stubbornly charged out a "sky-reaching road" with its life!
"Ah? There's a road!"

Rong Feiyan, standing to the side, shouted foolishly, seemingly very surprised!
"Great! That way we'll suffer less!"

Rong Feiyan happily strode forward, preparing to walk along the path.

"girl!"

But before Rong Feiyan could even step inside, Mudan, wielding a large knife, called out to her, "This way! Let's hurry!" "Huh?"

Upon seeing Mudan's appearance, Rong Feiyan was completely dumbfounded!

"This……"

However, without anyone else saying anything, Rong Feiyan understood on her own.

As the saying goes, "What is real may appear unreal, and what is unreal may appear real." Right now, Peony's plan is probably to use the horses as a smokescreen to confuse the enemy's vision.

"Girl, hurry up and run!"

As she spoke, Peony took the lead and disappeared into the dense forest on the other side of the mountain road, trying her best not to damage the vegetation there, attempting to create the impression that no one had ventured in.

Seeing Rong Feiyan still standing blankly in the middle of the mountain road, looking conflicted, Mudan immediately called out, "Girl, hurry up!"

"The enemy is right behind us!"

"Ah? Yes!"

At this moment, Rong Feiyan had no choice but to follow Mudan inside.

Fortunately, the two young women were slender and light-footed, able to easily slip into the dense forest without damaging the surrounding environment. Even if some plants were knocked down, they would quickly recover and return to their original state due to their biological instincts.

"Girl, follow behind me, and watch out for snakes and insects around us!"

Seeing Rong Feiyan struggling to keep up behind her, Mudan couldn't help but offer a careful reminder.

"Ok!"

Rong Feiyan obediently answered, and there was no trace of her former young lady demeanor left.

Rong Feiyan wasn't stupid. She knew that she couldn't possibly escape the tiger's den on her own. Right now, she could only rely on the maid she used to look down on, and try her best to be obedient so that the other party would have less trouble.

After all, Rong Feiyan was also afraid that the other party would abandon her and run away alone.

In fact, both Rong Feiyan and her maid knew one thing: if you were Mudan, the best way to escape would be to abandon Rong Feiyan and leave on your own. After all, the other party's target was only Rong Feiyan, and she, a mere maid, was insignificant.

However, as Rong Feiyan's personal maid, Mudan had no other choice. Rong Feiyan's life depended on her own; Rong Feiyan's death meant her survival.

It would be better to die!

Given the Rong family's power, if Peony dared to abandon her master and return alone, she would inevitably face a terrible fate.

Therefore, Mudan and Rong Feiyan are truly in the same boat.

……

About fifteen minutes later, three men in black indeed broke away from the group and arrived first at the place where Rong Feiyan and her companions had overturned.

"Hmm? They stopped here."

A man in black squatted down, examined the third guard lying on the ground, and made this judgment.

"Hehe, that's for sure!"

"They don't even consider that if we can prepare in front of them, how could we not set traps behind them!"

The other man in black seemed somewhat smug.

All three men in black had several knife wounds, but they had only been given simple bandages. Clearly, they weren't going to take care of the Rong family's guards without paying any price!

"Alright, hurry up and see where they ran off to. It would be terrible if they got away!"

The last man in black spoke in a grim voice.

"Night Tiger, don't worry too much. Where could two delicate young ladies like these run off to?"

The second man in black, who spoke frivolously, looked at the last man in black, whom he called Night Tiger, and said, "Even if they run an hour ahead, it's fine!"

I don't ask for anything more, I just hope you all will stop discouraging me! After all, writing is just a hobby...
