Outside the vat, the sound of the search was getting closer and closer.
Pomelo Fragrance sat at the bottom of the tank, her mind blank.
She knew that she could not hide for long.
In at most a minute, the eunuchs would search the backyard, and her escape would come to an end.
"You, go and take a look behind that row of willow trees.”
"You two, check those water tanks.”
It was faster than Pomelo Fragrance had imagined.
The eunuchs had already searched the backyard…
Fear, sorrow, confusion, anxiety, despair, unwillingness…
A complicated expression that was difficult to describe appeared in her big eyes.
In the end, he still couldn't escape from this palace that he had never left since he was born.
In the end, he still couldn't avoid becoming a sacrifice for his daughter.
In the end, that man still did not return.
In the end…
The light in the water tank suddenly dimmed.
A person's shadow blocked the mouth of the vat, causing Honey Pomelo Fragrance's heart to instantly sink to the bottom.
In the end, she still didn't know that man's name…
"Sigh…"
He sighed deeply.
Mi Youxiang laughed bitterly and slowly raised her head.
Time seemed to stop at this moment.
Pomelo Fragrance's heart was gripped tightly.
The figure outside the vat was not a fierce-looking eunuch, but…
That man.
The man who appeared in her room and saw her taking a shower.
The man who had brought her away from the palace.
The man who gave her oxygen at the bottom of the river.
The man who told her to wait here and said that he would come back…
He had returned.
The sunlight shone on his face, reflecting a golden light. It was so piercing that he could not open his eyes. Tears rolled down his face.
Qin Mu gave a light laugh and stretched out his hands to carry the sobbing Mi Youxiang out. He stroked her head and said,""Why are you crying? You weren't captured.”
Mi Youxiang raised her head and took a glance at Qin Mu before falling into his embrace. She hugged him tightly as if she would never let go.
After a long time.
When Mi Youxiang's emotions had stabilized a little, Qin Mu pushed her away and said seriously,""More and more guards are gathering outside. We have to leave quickly.”
"Alright." Honey Pomelo Fragrance looked at the few pools of blood in the backyard, wiped her slightly red and swollen eyes, and nodded.
Qin Mu turned the long scythe back into a lantern and jumped onto the wall. He carefully observed the outside before jumping back. He picked up Pomelo Fragrance and jumped out of the wall, running towards Long Water River.
"Pay attention to holding your breath!"
"Plop!"
Holding the honey pomelo fragrance, Qin Mu jumped into the river and sank to the bottom of the river again.
He was only a hundred meters away from the palace wall.
If they swam on the water, they would be easily discovered by the soldiers on the palace walls.
Thus, for the sake of safety, Qin Mu chose to walk underwater and never reveal his head.
"Gulp…"
"Gulp…"
The underwater world was still as quiet as ever.
Qin Mu opened his eyes and swam in the slightly muddy river bottom.
Pomelo Fragrance's eyes were still tightly shut as she hugged Qin Mu's neck and pressed her body against his back. When she could no longer hold her breath, she would pat him on the shoulder and let him breathe…
In order to keep from rising to the surface and not suffocate to death, Qin Mu specially found a hollow bamboo and stuck his head into his mouth. When the oxygen was insufficient, he would float up a few meters and extend the other end of the bamboo out of the water to replenish the air.
As for why he didn't find a thin bamboo for Pomelo Fragrance.
Naturally, it was because he was afraid that she would choke on the water if she did not know how to use it…
Yes, that was it.
"Pa, pa, pa."
Honey Pomelo Fragrance patted Qin Mu's shoulder again.
Qin Mu took the bamboo away and turned his head to wrap it around her cherry lips, delivering life-saving air…
Three minutes later.
Qin Mu carried Pomelo Fragrance on his back and finally swam to the iron railing at the root of the palace wall.
On the left side of the river bank, there was already a gap as wide as two people. It was Qin Mu who had used his sickle to split it open.
The hardness of ancient ironware could not compare to steel at all.
Coupled with Qin Mu's immense strength and the sharpness of the sickle, he easily opened up a path.
Although her eyes were tightly shut, her body touched some iron pillars. She immediately understood that they had entered the river fence.
In other words, they had escaped from that demonic palace…
The excitement in her heart made her body tremble slightly.
Qin Mu thought that she was out of oxygen again and hurriedly took another sip...
The palace walls were very wide.
At least eight meters.
There were twenty rows of iron railings!
It was simply insane.
If Qin Mu didn't have a divine weapon like the tomb keeper's scythe, it would still take a lot of effort to break apart the twenty rows of iron pillars.
Very soon, Qin Mu carried Pomelo Fragrance and swam out of the palace, entering the outer river of Long Water River.
He continued to swim for another two hundred meters before coming out of the water and spitting out the bamboo in his mouth.
"Phew…"
"Phew…"
Pomelo wiped the water off her face and opened her eyes again, panting heavily.
Even though Qin Mu had been 'supplying' her with air, she was still in a state of half-oxygen in the water, which was extremely painful.
"Is…is this outside the palace?"
After catching her breath, Honey Pomelo opened her eyes wide and muttered curiously.
"Hold me tight, I'm climbing up.”
Grabbing onto the wall of the river, Qin Mu called out and carried the honey pomelo fragrance on his back as he climbed up with his hands and feet.
The wall of the river was five to six meters high. With Qin Mu's physique, he climbed up in less than ten seconds.
" We've finally escaped..." Mi Youxiang jumped down from Qin Mu's back and examined her surroundings. She covered half of her face with her hands, and her eyes were red.
"This is still within the Imperial City, and we haven't truly escaped. Let's quickly find a civilian home and change out of our clothes. It's too eye-catching." Qin Mu didn't dare to relax in the slightest. Amid Pomelo Xiang's cries of surprise, he picked her up and left quickly.
