Chu Tian knew that Lin Fengwan and the others had reached the limit of their lives. If they continued running, they might die from exhaustion.
Compared to dying from exhaustion and losing one's life when surrounded by a large number of rebel soldiers, even if one is exhausted, one has to leave here quickly.
Lin Feng and others all came from big families, and they were not ordinary people who could marry into the royal family. Naturally, they knew this.
Now that everyone is under the big tree and no one is separated, let's continue running for our lives.
But, in which direction are you running now?
Then walking through the farmland, it is easy to lose direction. It is very likely that when you are desperate, you will be surrounded by rebels.
Seeing Lin Fengwan's doubts, Chu Tian said, "That's what I thought."
"We will now return along the same path and immediately rush to the path we left earlier."
"If my guess is correct, by this time, some of those rebels on horseback must have arrived on that road!"
"Then if we go, aren't we throwing ourselves into a trap?" Lu Huining raised his head, held his neck, and said in a loud voice.
"Those soldiers on horseback did not carry the portraits with them. They have never seen us and will not search carefully. If my guess is correct, they are heading for the missing cart in the coffin shop."
Chu Tian thought that the two silver ingots might have revealed their identities because the rebels had caught up so quickly. After all, he was careless.
Now is not the time to blame yourself, the best thing to do is to leave here quickly.
"We passed from behind them, and the cart they were looking for had already appeared in the farmland next to the trail. If we took the original route, we would not be suspected."
Lin Fengwan felt that what Chu Tian said made sense, and Lu Huining couldn't think of any other reason. Everyone agreed with Chu Tian's idea.
"We will leave here immediately according to His Majesty's arrangement." Lin Fengwan stood up and said.
Leave as soon as you say, without any delay.
Lin Fengwan took the lead and quickly moved forward along the path he had just stepped on, followed by several other princes and concubines.
Xiang Qingcheng struggled for a moment and said, "Your Majesty, Seventh Prince, please take a break and let me walk for a while!"
"Okay, you try walking for a while. If you can't keep up, I'll carry you on my back." Chu Tian put down Xiang Qingcheng and followed Xiang Qingcheng.
Xiang Qingcheng had never met His Highness the Seventh Prince a few times before. Occasionally when he saw His Highness the Seventh Prince during palace banquets, the Seventh Highness always lowered his head and did not say hello to anyone.
Besides, His Highness the Seventh Prince's submissive look made it difficult for people to connect with the Chu Tian in front of him.
If I hadn't met Chu Tian before and knew that this person was indeed His Highness Seventh Prince, I would have thought it was a different person.
At the critical moment, everyone was running for their lives, but Chutian took care of her at every turn. He did not abandon her, but carried her on his back all the way. Even her husband might not be able to do it.
She has no virtues and abilities, and she can accept the care of His Highness Seventh Prince with peace of mind.
Therefore, as long as she can do it, she will not hinder His Highness Seventh.
However, it backfired.
After walking not far, he fell some distance behind Lin Fengwan and others in front.
Even though Xiang Qingcheng tried his best and exerted all his strength, he was still getting further and further away from Lin Fengwan and the others.
"Sister-in-law Liu Huang, I know you don't want to trouble me, but your lack of cooperation makes it even more difficult for me!" Chu Tian stood beside Xiang Qingcheng and reached out to hold Xiang Qingcheng's arm.
"I have to take care of everyone. If you fall behind like this, what if something happens to the eldest sister-in-law and the others in front of you?"
Xiang Qingcheng also understands this truth.
"Your Majesty Seventh, it's all my fault..."
Xiang Qingcheng lowered his head and said softly.
"Come on, I'll carry you on my back." Chu Tian took a step forward, stood in front of Xiang Qingcheng and bent down.
It would be a lie to say that Xiang Qingcheng is not moved.
Growing up, only when she was a child did her brothers and father love her so much, and did everything possible to consider her feelings and not let her suffer the slightest grievance.
Since marrying into the royal family, even if she is a princess, she is not the only woman in the sixth prince Nuoda's house. In addition to two concubines, there are also concubines. How can the sixth prince take her feelings into consideration? I can think of whether she felt wronged.
Xiang Qingcheng lay on Chu Tian's back, her eyes were red, and even she didn't know whether she was afraid of dragging Chu Tian down, or because Chu Tian was so heart-warming that she was moved to tears.
So when he walked to the official road, Lin Fengwan glanced back and thought Xiang Qingcheng was injured.
"This is?..." Lin Fengwan asked.
Chu Tian didn't feel anything was wrong and said directly, "First Emperor's Wife, we are still called by our previous identities. We are husband and wife. The other Queen's Wifes are servants. No one should speak unless it is absolutely necessary. "
He was afraid that the wives of the emperor's wives would speak with women's voices, and their secrets would be exposed as soon as someone heard them.
"Okay!" Lin Fengwan nodded.
Now Lin Fengwan has absolute trust in Chutian.
They had become a fake couple before, and now they have regained their identity as husband and wife. Although Lin Fengwan still felt a little hot on his cheeks, it was not as uneasy as before, as if he had kicked a rabbit in his chest.
Even some peace of mind.
She was not very old originally. Although she had been married to the royal family for five years, she was only twenty years old. Standing next to Chu Tian, she was a talented and beautiful woman, and seemed to be a perfect match.
Lu Huining wanted to raise questions, but she had no better way, so she had to follow everyone towards the path they left earlier.
Chu Tian didn't have much scruples, he was always thinking about how to escape Huo Dou's pursuers.
He carried Xiang Qingcheng on his back, holding Lin Fengwan with one hand, and several other royal wives followed behind him.
Everyone hurried on, and just as they reached the area where the cart and coffin had been burned, Chu Tian, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped.
In front of him, five rebel soldiers on horseback were approaching.
Chutian naturally stood by the path to make way for them.
Lu Huining and the others behind them also stopped and stood on the roadside with their heads down.
Several rebel soldiers arrived in front of Chu Tian in a blink of an eye, "Hey!..."
He actually reined in his horse and stopped.
"Hello?!!!" One of them pointed the riding whip at Chu Tian and the others, "Did you see a coffin pulled by a cart passing by?"
Because Chu Tian had told everyone not to speak until the critical moment, a few people stood behind Chu Tian without saying a word.
Chu Tian hurriedly said, "Go back to Master Jun!"
"You are asking the right person. The grassroots people have seen a man pulling a coffin over there before!" Chu Yu pointed to the direction of the farmland where the coffin was burned.
"The man couldn't pull him back, so he asked some civilians to help him push him!"
Chu Tian remained calm and said in a lower voice.
The rebel soldiers looked at Chu Tian, as if wondering whether Chu Tian's words were true or false.
Then a rebel soldier immediately shouted loudly, "Lead the way for me! If I can't find the cart you mentioned, I will kill you!"
