Chapter 1547 Waiting for the Dawn

"General Shao, how are you? Can you still walk?" Zhao Qi's voice appeared in Shao Haogang's ears.

Shao Haogang tried to open his eyes, nodded, and asked: "Princess, have you found a hiding place?"

"Yes." Zhao Qi nodded.

After Zhao Qi found the yard, she immediately returned to the original route. There was the best hiding place they could find now. Zhao Qi had no strength and courage to continue searching forward.

Shao Haogang was much more excited when he heard the words, and he struggled to get up. The rest during this period of time allowed him to recover some physical strength.

"Let's go." Shao Haogang put Xiaoqing on his back again and said to Zhao Qi.

Zhao Qi nodded and led the way in front. The three of them walked forward carefully and finally came to the cave entrance that Zhao Qi had just found.

Shao Haogang was immediately scared when he saw the cave entrance. He put Xiaoqing down and said to Zhao Qi: "I'll go in first, and later, you will lay her flat at the entrance of the cave."

"Yes." Zhao Qi nodded.

Shao Haogang knelt on the ground and crawled into the courtyard through the hole. Zhao Qi was outside and moved Xiaoqing to the hole. Shao Haogang in the courtyard slowly dragged Xiaoqing into the courtyard, and then Zhao Qi also crawled into the courtyard.

After Zhao Qi came in, Shao Haogang hurriedly blocked the hole with gravel and weeds next to him to prevent the people from Shuiyue Kingdom from finding the hole.

Zhao Qi and Shao Haogang leaned on the wall to recover their strength. As for Xiaoqing, she still hadn't woken up yet. Zhao Qi couldn't help but feel a little worried.

"Princess, we will stay here until dawn. After dawn, the cavalry of Shuiyue Kingdom will not dare to wander around at will." Shao Haogang said to Zhao Qi: "This place is hidden enough. This hole should be dug by the servants in the courtyard to sneak out. Not many people should know about it."

Zhao Qi nodded and agreed with Shao Haogang's suggestion. They had no better way except hiding here.

Da Da Da!

At this time, there were chaotic footsteps outside the courtyard wall. Zhao Qi and Shao Haogang were close to the wall, so they could clearly hear the movement outside. They subconsciously closed their mouths and even breathed a lot lighter, fearing that people outside the courtyard wall would discover their existence.

"No here!"

"No there!"

"The brothers in the residence didn't see them go back either."

"They are all injured, they can't run far, keep searching!"

......

A low voice sounded outside the courtyard wall, and Zhao Qi and Shao Haogang were so scared that they dared not move. Not long after, the footsteps sounded again, but they were getting farther and farther away, and the courtyard wall soon returned to peace.

Zhao Qi and Shao Haogang didn't breathe a sigh of relief until this time.

They escaped again and were temporarily safe. More importantly, those people didn't find the existence of the cave entrance, which made the two feel more at ease.

After the people from Shuiyue Country left, Zhao Qi and Shao Haogang leaned against the wall of the courtyard to rest. Neither of them dared to sleep, so they could only close their eyes and rest, because the people from Shuiyue Country might come at any time.

The pain from the wounds constantly attacked the nerves of the two people. Both of them were injured in the previous chase. Although they did not fall into a coma like Xiaoqing, they were also seriously injured. They just kept enduring and persisting.

There were no medicines or tools around them, and they could not treat the wounds at all. The blood was still flowing. The two could only bandage them with clothes.

"Princess, don't worry. We will be safe when it gets light." Shao Haogang encouraged Zhao Qi.

Obviously, Shao Haogang was afraid that Zhao Qi would lose her perseverance. In the current situation, it was not an exaggeration to say that they were in a desperate situation. They were injured and had enemies. They were isolated and helpless, and they could not treat their wounds. In short, everything was terrible. After all, Zhao Qi was a royal princess who had been spoiled since childhood. Shao Haogang was afraid that she would not be able to hold on in the face of such a disaster.

"Don't worry, General Shao, I'm fine." Zhao Qi said.

Shao Haogang nodded and stopped talking. He also needed to recover his strength to deal with the crisis that might happen at any time.

Zhao Qi closed her eyes, thinking of Wu Fan. If Wu Fan was here, he would definitely protect her and not let her get hurt.

"Wu Fan, where are you?" Zhao Qi thought secretly.

Zhao Qi was used to Wu Fan's disappearance at a fixed time every day, but she was still very curious about where Wu Fan had gone. Judging from the degree of Wu Fan's concern for her, Wu Fan knew that she was in danger and should have come to protect her, but how come he only left a note and disappeared?

Could it be that Wu Fan's "departure" was mandatory? Wu Fan himself could not control it?

Zhao Qi felt that this was the only possible explanation for this matter.

Zhao Qi looked up at the sky, looking forward to the arrival of dawn, when Wu Fan would appear.

"But I'm not at my residence now, but in a place I don't even know. Can Wu Fan find me after he comes?" Zhao Qi had new worries in her heart.

This worry was not groundless. She herself was not sure where she was now. Anyway, she must have been far away from their residence. It would not be easy for Wu Fan to find them.

From this point of view, it seemed that she had to wait until the sky was bright and then leave here and return to her residence. She only hoped that before that, the people of Shuiyue Country would not find them.

On the other hand, Zhao Qian, who was in the palace, had actually been paying attention to this matter. After writing a "letter of apology" of several thousand words, Zhao Qian put down his pen and asked the eunuch next to him: "What's the situation outside?"

"Your Majesty, the princess of Yanfeng Kingdom knocked on the door of the palace before. We did not open the palace door according to your Majesty's wishes. Soon after, they left." The eunuch said.

"Left?" Zhao Qian frowned: "So, the people of Shuiyue Kingdom failed at the palace gate?"

"Yes."

"Waste, a bunch of waste!" Zhao Qian said coldly: "They have been informed of the whereabouts of the Princess of Yanfeng Kingdom in advance, and they have also ambushed in advance, how could they still fail? They are simply wastes! They claim to be the elite of Shuiyue Kingdom, but they are not as good as our soldiers of Xiufeng Kingdom!"

Zhao Qian had reason to be angry again. When he secretly united with Shuiyue Kingdom and ordered the guards at the palace gate not to open the palace gate, he actually stood on the opposite side of Yanfeng Kingdom. If those people of Yanfeng Kingdom escaped, Yanfeng Kingdom would never let him go and would not let Xiufeng Kingdom go after knowing this situation. At that time, they might suffer a catastrophe.

Such a result is naturally not what Zhao Qian wants. He trusted the people of Shuiyue Kingdom so much before, but it turned out to be such a waste.
