Chapter 47
Leaving the dungeon, Mu Yunsheng led the crowd through the forest maze, unlocking a mechanism every now and then so that everyone could pass through safely.
After walking for a while, Shen Xinrui looked like she thought of something and suddenly stopped without walking. Jiang Yixun looked at her in disbelief and asked, “Ms. Shen, what’s wrong with you?”
Shen Xinrui frowned, biting her lips in difficulty, she looked at the side of the weak Li Yuanhang being carried, and turned her head towards the back.
“In the end how, you are quick to say ah!” A member of the team was anxious, lowered his voice to yell. Shen Xinrui saw, biting her lip and backed away, said: “I can not go.”
“Why?” Jiang Yixun was puzzled, and the others didn’t understand.
Faced with the doubts of the crowd, Shen Xinrui reluctantly looked at Li Yuanhang, then shook her head, “My two children are still here, I can’t go alone, is to go, but also to take them with me.”
“Where are they!” Jiang Yixun spoke in a deep voice, his brows unconsciously furrowed, he had forgotten about Lai Yuanhang’s two sons.
“I don’t know.” Shen Xinrui replied in frustration, then, with an unshakable firmness, she said, “But I will definitely not leave them here, even if it means death!”
As the words fell, Jiang Yixun’s frown tightened, he turned his head to look at Mu Yunsheng at the forefront and moved his lips, “Mr. Mu, can we send someone to take the children with us?”
“No!” Mu Yunsheng replied quickly, his face serious, “We can go smoothly now because the child is holding Mu Lan’s line of sight. If the child is still there, he won’t be suspicious, so everyone can have a greater certainty of leaving.”
Yes, as long as Shen Haoxuan and Shen Linfeng were still under Mu Lan’s surveillance, he wouldn’t have guessed that Mu Yunsheng would bring people to break into the territory, rescue Lai Yuanhang and send Shen Xinrui out. He had his plan, everything was within his grasp, and now, all he wanted to do was to send Lai Yuanhang and Shen Xinrui away.
“Xinrui, trust me!”
Mu Yunsheng looked at Shen Xinrui with a burning gaze, his ink-colored eyes flashing with an undeniable look. He wasn’t used to having to explain everything, he was only used to proving it with his actions, so at this time, he likewise wouldn’t say too much, and would only let the other party believe in him directly and clearly.
Shen Xinrui had always believed in Mu Yunsheng, only this time, it was her own flesh and blood that was involved, she hesitated, her body still stepped back. “Yunsheng, you guys go first, the child and I will wait for you will come back. I believe in you, you will be able to protect us.”
Not expecting Shen Xinrui to refuse this time, Mu Yunsheng was stunned, the light in his eyes instantly dimmed. He seemed to be fooling himself a bit, thinking of this, he pursed his lips and his face became ugly in an instant. A moment later, he
took big steps towards her, then without saying anything, he pulled her up and ran forward, and as he ran, he also said, “Go out and talk about it!”
“But ……,” Shen Xinrui struggled unyieldingly, and Mu Yunsheng then quickly interrupted her, “Go if you don’t want him to die!”
With a single word, Shen Xinrui fell silent and could only let Mu Yunsheng drag her forward. She looked back at the piece of house that was shrouded in clouds, biting her lip in death and closing her eyes to shut out the tears.
Cong Sen’s rain always fell suddenly and aggressively, a moment before it was still a clear sky with a blazing sun, this moment it was dark clouds covering the sky with a heavy downpour.
Mu family forest maze covers a large area, not only the use of a variety of plants connected to form a natural barrier, but also inside the arrangement of a number of organs. Mu Lan had relied on it to fend off many invaders, only that he didn’t expect that one day his own son would personally sabotage these organs and leak the information about the castle to the relevant government.
As the power holder of a big family, Mu Lan was not a vegetarian, and with special forces intruding into his territory, of course he wouldn’t just sit back and do nothing. At first, he only sent his men to keep an eye on them, thinking that those organs alone would be able to stop them, but he didn’t expect that after a while, his men reported that Mu Yunsheng had destroyed all the organs and knocked out his men, and that he was currently leading that team of special forces to rush out. Learning of this news, Mu Lan was furious and immediately sent his men forward to encircle and intercept them, he put out the word to kill everyone except Mu Yunsheng.
As soon as Mu Lan intervened, the retreating troops ran into trouble, because they hadn’t completely run out of the forest maze yet, so they were very unsafe in the crisis-ridden jungle, and their lives could be in danger at any time. Fortunately, on their side, they had Mu Yunsheng who was familiar with the terrain to lead the way, after all, he was Mu Lan’s only son, Mu Clan’s future successor, with him taking the lead, Mu Lan’s men would be more or less scrupulous.
Along the way, the team led by Jiang Yixun and Mu Lan’s men exchanged fire several times, two people on his side were slightly injured, three people on the other side were killed, two people were seriously injured, and five people were slightly injured.
Mu Yunsheng didn’t like to kill random people, so he often avoided the other side’s fatal places when he laid his hands on them, and that was the reason why their journey consumed too much time. Jiang Yixun and the others were seasoned veterans who had experience in many actual battles, and they didn’t show much mercy, but their side had Li Yuanhang and Shen Xinrui dragging them around, so their fighting power wasn’t very strong either.
The two sides were in a stalemate, and time was dragging on, seeing that the exit was close at hand, but it was hard to be blocked by Mu Lan’s men, Jiang Yixun and the others began to get agitated. The longer the time went on, the more unfavorable it was for them, and with the other side constantly having reinforcements, they could grind them to death here even if they didn’t attack.
“Shit!” Jiang Yixun couldn’t help but burst out, then looked backward at his teammates. First, they had run for half a day in the huge forest maze, then they had exchanged blows with Mu Lan’s people several times, and with the heavy rain falling from the sky and the muddy roads, all of them were in a terrible mess. The two that were lightly wounded, since they didn’t have time to treat their wounds, they casually stopped the bleeding, and then wrapped the parts that were hit by the bullets with gauze. After some strenuous exercise, the wounds were bleeding out again, and it looked like if they didn’t find a place to deal with it as soon as possible, they were afraid that their lives would be in danger.
After thinking about it, Jiang Yixun turned his head to Mu Yunsheng on the side and said: ”Mr. Mu, we can’t go on like this, my comrades as well as Miss Shen, can’t afford to be worn out. From the several exchanges of fire just now, I realized that they are taking you into consideration, it seems that your father doesn’t have the intention of laying a heavy hand on you, in that case, why don’t we break out?”
Mu Yusheng was holding his sniper rifle, scrutinizing the front through the aiming hole, after hearing Jiang Yixun’s words, he raised his eyes and glanced at him, and then put his eyes back to the aiming hole, only after about a minute did he faintly open his mouth, “I’ll be in the forefront, let your people cover, the injured and those without combat power, follow behind me.”
Hearing this, Jiang Yixun also picked up the gun in his hand and scrutinized the front for a few seconds, then gestured backward, giving the order to break out and assigning the actions of each person.
After getting ready, Mu Yunsheng raised his gun and aimed at the ten o’clock direction, with the soft sound after he pulled the trigger, all the people acted according to the instructions, the silent jungle was filled with gunshots for a while.
Mu Yunsheng rushed alone at the front, making as much noise as possible to divert the attention of everyone on the opposite side to himself, a certain team member carrying Lai Yuanhang followed closely behind him, and Shen Xinrui, under the protection of another team member, also followed firmly. Jiang Yixun and the rest of them, suppressed the opposite side with firepower from behind, covering while advancing forward themselves. Following this strategy, soon enough, the group broke out of the siege and arrived at the entrance of the forest maze.
“Captain, they’re still in hot pursuit behind us, what should we do?” A team member looked behind him at the enemy that was pressing forward step by step and asked Jiang Yixun somewhat anxiously, the latter sniffed and subconsciously looked at Mu Yunsheng.
Mu Yusheng raised his hand to wipe away the muddy water on his face, and calmly said, “Go fifty meters forward, stick to the shrubs on the left.”
Jiang Yixun and the others heard this and immediately lifted their feet and ran forward, not asking why he was going to the left.
The group darted forward, running out of the pursuers’ range in the shortest possible time. When they reached the place Mu Yunsheng had mentioned, the group had to slow down their steps again, one by one, taking small steps, slowly sticking to the bushes on the left. Just like this, a lot more time was wasted, and the pursuers’ bullets were already able to hit them.
The road was muddy, the person carrying Li Yuanhang accidentally stepped into a puddle, and Shen Xinrui, who was following behind, failed to brake her footsteps and stumbled into him, and the three of them immediately fell to the ground.
In front of Shen Xinrui, there were a few thorny thorns sticking out, and she accidentally fell to the ground.
In front of Shen Xinrui, there were a few thorny thorns sticking out, she accidentally fell on them, and her knees were immediately stabbed in several places, the sharp pain made her cry out in shock: “It hurts.”
The cries of pain pounded Lai Yuanhang’s eardrums in the midst of the gunfire, and he strained to lift his eyelids, trying to see where Shen Xinrui was. He wriggled dry cracked and broken skin lips, issued a voice as thin as a mosquito, would like to go to see what’s wrong with her, why she called out in pain, but he was half the strength is not, can only be futile wailing.
“Ping ping ping ping” several times, the other side of the bullet is very skillful to avoid a certain place, as much as possible to fall on the feet of the crowd. The team members carrying Li Yuanhang reacted quickly and got up to continue running forward, leaving only Shen Xinrui alone on the ground.
“It hurts ……,” Shen Xinrui whimpered. Mu Yunsheng, who had already run far away, rushed back violently and leapt up, pouncing her whole body underneath her.
There was another burst of gunfire, and Mu Yunsheng firmly protected Shen Xinrui underneath his body as he let out a muffled grunt, his braced arms shaking.
“Xinrui, endure.” Mu Yunsheng spoke in a low voice, then pulled Shen Xinrui forward as soon as he reached Jiang Yixun’s side, pushed her into his hands, and snapped, “Go!”
“What about you?” Jiang Yixun caught Shen Xinrui and asked.
Mu Yunsheng did not answer, but reached out and tucked Shen Xinrui’s messy hair behind her ear, then whispered softly, “I will return them, to you.”
Shen Xinrui was shocked, looked up at Mu Yunsheng blankly, and her tears overflowed uncontrollably. She knew who he was talking about when he said “they”, so he had always remembered, and now he even came to comfort her.
It was obviously a rainy day, but Mu Yunsheng seemed to know that she was crying, he reached out his hand and stroked her cheeks with his fingers.
“Xinrui, don’t cry.” He said gently, and after saying that, he withdrew his hand and pushed them forward, “Go!!!”
“Yunsheng!!!” Shen Xinrui couldn’t help but call out to him, watching his lean figure getting farther and farther away, the heavy rain hazed her vision, making it impossible for her to make out his shallow smile.
In the pouring rain, Mu Yunsheng smiled as he watched Shen Xinrui and the others disappear into the curtain of rain, he twisted his body with great effort and used his last ounce of strength to shoot and sweep the open space not far behind him.
There were mines buried over the shrubs, and the only way not to step on them was to walk to the left.
The explosion resounded through the sky, the bushes on both sides were lifted into mid-air, and the pursuers in the rear flung themselves to the ground, not daring to pursue.
In the thick smoke, Mu Yunsheng collapsed on the ground in exhaustion, his back was bright red and full of blood. Just a moment ago, he pounced on Shen Xinrui and blocked that deadly bullet for her.
He collapsed on the ground, looking at the watery mist steaming ahead, and in a flash, he seemed to see that he had successfully sent her away.
In this way, that kind of bright and furious flowers, will always bloom often right ……
The other side of the sea
There are my thoughts
Is it bitter or sweet
Which kind of feeling is it
If one day
We’ll meet again
I’ll say I love you
Will it be too direct?
♪ The clouds and the sky are parting ♪
Never said goodbye
Because the wind
♪ To bring him thoughts ♪
The strings are falling
How can you hear
This melody fills the air
♪ Memories of your face ♪
If you love me
If you love me
I think I’d be
The happiest in the world
You’ve painted my life
You’ve painted the most beautiful colors for my life
