The carriage kept running for quite a distance, roughly seventy or eighty miles, when Su Yan saw the timing was right and suggested a rest.
The leader thought it over, agreeing that the horses needed rest and they needed to replenish their strength, so he took her advice.
After getting off the carriage, Su Yan pretended to feel unwell, ate sothing, drank so water, and then leaned against a tree trunk to rest with her eyes closed.
Through the slightly opened slits of her eyes, she noticed that although these soldiers were resting, they would frequently glance at her with wariness and hostility.
Su Yan shivered, decisively confirming her suspicion that they were indeed people from Cangyue Country.
She roughly asured her odds of dealing with a dozen or so of them alone.
If she weren’t pregnant and wasn’t afraid of getting hurt, perhaps she could escape.
But since she was with child, she couldn’t help being cautious and hesitant, unable to fully confront them.
The only solution was to flee, avoiding direct confrontation.
Resolved, Su Yan got up and headed straight towards a dense forest.
The guards imdiately had complex expressions and all looked at her, one rushing over, holding a respectful deanor, asked, "Madam, where are you going?"
"I... I’ll be right back." Su Yan stamred, unwilling to tell the truth.
The guard couldn’t understand her implied aning, frowned, "Madam, it’s not very safe now, you better not wander around."
Su Yan began to get impatient, "I already said, I’ll be right back, what’s with the nagging!"
Seeing others starting to get up and guard, Su Yan, anxious, said blushingly, "When nature calls, don’t you know!"
The guard imdiately blushed deeply, and the others relaxed, continuing to lower their heads and busy themselves.
Not knowing where to look, the guard awkwardly smiled at her and said, "Please forgive , Madam, I was presumptuous just now."
As he backed away, Su Yan inadvertently followed his gaze and saw an inconspicuous guard.
With head lowered, dark-skinned, his helt covered half of his face, making it impossible to see his appearance clearly.
After just a glance at him, Su Yan walked behind a few large trees.
Choosing a patch of grass, she crouched down, carefully observing his movents.
Seeing they all diverted their attention away from her, Su Yan paused for a mont and then rushed towards the nearest horse at the fastest speed.
