Chapter 616: Holding Her Own

After escaping from the palace, Xiao Juan headed straight for the city gate.

He wanted to leave the Imperial Capital before anyone reacted.

However, he was still too late.

When he arrived near the city gate, he saw that there were heavy troops guarding it.

It was impossible for him to rush out with his serious injuries.

He could only retreat silently, planning to find a place to hide for the time being.

Unexpectedly, just as he turned around, he saw soldiers searching house to house not far away.

Xiao Juan lowered the bamboo hat on his head to cover most of his face and turned to walk in the other direction.

At this moment, a child's cry suddenly sounded beside him—

"Uncle, your back is bleeding!"

Xiao Juan's heart tightened.

The arrow on his back had been pulled out, but because of the time constraint, he did not have time to apply medication. He only bandaged it with a strip of cloth.
