Chapter 287: I Will Definitely Protect You and Our Child

"I understand everything you're saying. I just can't help feeling a bit angry."

Seeing that Sixth Brother had calmed down, Mo Jiuye felt somewhat relieved.

He had just increased the speed of the carriage when the door to the rear compartment was opened from inside.

"Little Ninth, I'll go drive Little Ninth Sister-in-Law's carriage so she can rest."

After Mo Jinnian spoke, he made a move to jump off the carriage.

He Zhiran noticed his action and quickly said, "Sixth Brother, I can handle it. Your body hasn't fully recovered from the curse yet, so stay in the carriage these few days and take care of Fourth Brother and Seventh Brother."

It wasn't that she insisted on driving the carriage out of stubbornness; she and Mo Jiuye had already discussed that if they encountered an emergency on the road, they would lock the carriage door and send it into the space along with the carriage.

If Sixth Brother were to drive the carriage, she wouldn't be able to perform this operation.

To ensure the group could leave Southern Xinjiang smoothly, He Zhiran had to grit her teeth and persevere.

In fact, Mo Jiuye was secretly glad that Sixth Brother could take over driving the carriage for his wife, seeing that his brother's health seemed fine. However, considering the potential dangers they might face on the road, if only he were there, it would be manageable, but with two carriages and seven people, without his wife's space, they couldn't resolve any crises.

Mo Jiuye looked at his wife with concern and persuaded her, "Sixth Brother, Ranran knows medicine. You should listen to her; she's right."

Upon being reminded about his condition by both of them, Mo Jinnian took a moment to assess himself.

Apart from feeling slightly dizzy and anxious, he was otherwise fine.

Moreover, he didn't know that Little Ninth Sister-in-Law was pregnant. Seeing their insistence, he saw no reason to insist further.

"Alright, I'll rest in the carriage first. If Little Ninth Sister-in-Law gets tired, she can call me to switch."

"Okay, I'll call you, Sixth Brother," He Zhiran responded and continued driving the carriage forward.

The journey went smoothly, and they arrived at the city gate as scheduled.

Recently, Southern Xinjiang seemed shocked by their entry through the border, and when they arrived, the gates were not heavily guarded. However, on their way back, there were many more checkpoints.

Following their plan, they found a quiet alley.

Mo Jiuye could hear the voices of his brothers in the carriage and thought it necessary to explain the situation to prevent any suspicions.

"Fourth Brother, Sixth Brother, Seventh Brother, we're approaching the city gate, which is guarded by soldiers. Ranran and I have disguised ourselves, so we won't be recognized. We plan to temporarily park the carriages here and check the gate.

Please try not to make any noise in the carriage to avoid unnecessary trouble."

"You and Little Ninth Sister-in-Law go ahead and be careful," Fourth Brother responded, and the carriage fell silent.

He Zhiran then waved her hand, and both carriages disappeared into the space. She and Mo Jiuye walked openly towards the city gate.

By this time, it was dark, and ordinary people rarely left the city unless it was urgent. Therefore, apart from the guards, there were few civilians around the gate.

Their arrival naturally led to questioning, but Mo Jiuye handled it skillfully, and they managed to leave the city smoothly.

The first thing they did after leaving the city was to retrieve the carriages.

Fortunately, the Mo brothers trusted Little Ninth and his wife enough not to suspect anything, even though they sensed something was slightly off.

After all, they were still within Southern Xinjiang territory, and staying at an inn was impossible. Moreover, they needed a long time to reach the next city, so camping outside was inevitable.

Fortunately, although Sixth Brother occasionally felt dizzy, he could still take care of Fourth Brother and Seventh Brother.

Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran found a secluded spot at the foot of a mountain to rest. He Zhiran helped Sixth Brother with acupuncture to alleviate his dizziness.

Actually, Sixth Brother's dizziness wasn't difficult to treat; it was simply due to his brain suddenly being reactivated after being dormant for too long. Even without acupuncture, he would recover with some rest.

The night passed quietly, and the next morning, before dawn, everyone continued their journey.

He Zhiran and Mo Jiuye were prepared for potential troubles on the road, but whether due to the missing emperor or other reasons, their journey was much smoother than expected.

After four days of travel, they finally reached the border of Southern Xinjiang.

It was already nightfall, and Mo Jiuye believed that leaving the border at night would be easier than during the day. Besides, he had a significant task to accomplish, which was best done under the cover of darkness.

This time, leaving the border might take longer, so Mo Jiuye and He Zhiran waited until everyone in the carriage was asleep before sending the carriage into the space.

Mo Jiuye looked at his wife apologetically and said solemnly, "Ranran, let's go."

"Okay."

Mo Jiuye gently held her waist and leaped to a high vantage point to observe the movements at the checkpoint.

There were two teams of soldiers patrolling the checkpoint, alternating shifts, creating a gap of about ten seconds.

Mo Jiuye planned to use those ten seconds to leap over with his wife using lightness skills.

He Zhiran was nervous, given that this time was different from when they entered.

Their infiltration hadn't been discovered, and now the Southern Xinjiang military camp would be more vigilant.

Sensing her tension, Mo Jiuye softly reassured her, "Trust me, I will definitely protect you and our child."

Even if it meant sacrificing her life, she would not hesitate...

As they pondered, the two of them leaped high and headed straight for the checkpoint.

They landed more than fifty meters beyond the southern border.

The patrolling soldiers were about to turn back, and if they fired arrows, it would be hard to guard against. Thus, He Zhiran directly took Mo Jiuye into the spatial realm.

Mo Jiuye was not idle; he had to prepare for that major task.

"Ranran, turn away."

He Zhiran knew what Mo Jiuye was about to do, and just thinking about the scene made her feel nauseous.

"Alright, I'll go to the medical room. Call me when you're done."

Seeing his wife walk away, Mo Jiuye swiftly decapitated the emperor of the Southern Territory.

The two emerged from the spatial realm again. Mo Jiuye continued to use his lightness kung fu with He Zhiran, running several hundred meters away and stopping under a thick tree.

At the same time, He Zhiran used her mind to retrieve the body and head of the Southern Territory's emperor.

Mo Jiuye casually picked up the corpse and the head from the ground.

"Ranran, hide here and wait for me. If there's any danger, quickly hide in the spatial realm. If anything happens on my side, I will also escape as soon as possible to meet you here. You only need to come out occasionally to check."

He Zhiran knew that without the ability to use lightness kung fu and being pregnant, following him would not be helpful but rather a burden.

However, letting Mo Jiuye take such risks made her truly uneasy.
