Enter Fengyuan City from the Imperial Palace.

At first glance, Bai Youheng's words sounded a little out of order.

After all, the palace is in Fengyuan City. If you want to enter the palace, you must first enter Fengyuan City.

Therefore, after hearing this, the man was inevitably stunned for a moment, but then he guessed something.

"Sir, you mean..."

"Well, someone will take us in."

Bai Youheng nodded: "But one hundred dragon guards are too many after all. You choose three to go into the city with me, and the rest stay outside the city to provide support."

"yes."

After answering, the man asked again: "Sir, I wonder how many days we will have to stay in the city?"

"One night."

Bai Youheng did not hide anything and gave the answer without hesitation: "The longer we stay, the more dangerous it will be. We will come out before dawn tomorrow at the latest."

"Understood, I will go and choose the manpower now."

"Um."

"..."

The man quickly left in a hurry, and Bai Youheng was the only one left in the temporary shabby shack.

He raised his eyes and looked at the tall city wall of Fengyuan City in the distance and the people who kept pouring out from the city gate, and slowly clenched his fists.

Wei Changtian, I admit defeat this time.

But remember, one day I will ask you to pay back double what I have lost today.

must.

...

That night, midnight.

There is a small forest five miles away in the north of Fengyuan City.

Five figures walked through a quiet and chaotic shack, slipped into the woods like ghosts without anyone noticing, and then stopped in front of a bluestone.

Although this bluestone is large, it is no different from other stones and is very harmonious with the surrounding environment.

But after it moved half a foot on the ground silently, its weirdness became self-evident.

"Son."

The man dressed in black glanced at the big hole in front of him, then at Bai Youheng, and immediately jumped into the hole without hesitation.

The already weak moonlight disappeared instantly, and the whole body fell into darkness.

From light to dark, the human eye always needs an adaptation process to changes in environmental brightness.

As a fourth-level martial artist, the big man's process was much shorter than that of ordinary people, taking no more than two breaths at most.

But just two breaths after he landed and barely regained his sight, the first thing he saw was several long knives with a cold light on his neck.

As for the owners of these long knives... they are all hidden in the darkness, and their appearance cannot be seen clearly. Only the red token hanging on their waist is vaguely visible in the moonlight falling through the hole.

It's the Great Imperial Guard.

"..."

The atmosphere was eerie and silent.

No one on either side spoke, but the big man of Long Wei could feel the cold blade on his neck squeezing his skin little by little.

Until a calm voice slowly sounded from behind him.

"I am Bai Youheng."

"..."

It seemed to be some kind of secret code or riddle. When Bai Youheng, who came in from outside the cave, said this, the long knives fell slowly and silently, and several imperial guards also turned sideways without saying a word.

Get out of the way.

"Let's go."

Looking across the guards, Bai Youheng said softly to the man: "It'll be okay."

"Yes, sir."

The man was born in the Dragon Guard and was not afraid of death, and now that he understood the situation, he immediately walked forward along the secret passage.

The wall is covered with black stone, and a torch is stuck diagonally on the wall every dozens of steps.

Bai Youheng and the other five walked along the road for almost two quarters of an hour, and met many expressionless black-armored guards along the way.

However, they were the same as those at the entrance of the cave at the beginning. They also did not say anything and only waited for Bai Youheng to say his name before letting him go.

The long tunnel, the guards on guard, all the way to the south...

This situation could not be more obvious.

It is clear here that it is the "emergency passage" that leads directly from Dafeng Palace to the outside of the city.

For the royal palace of any country, as well as the headquarters of larger aristocratic families and sects, it is very necessary to build such a secret passage.

Even if there are three cunning rabbit holes, some people have built more than one.

After all, no one can predict when one will encounter a life-or-death crisis in the future. One more "escape route" often means one more life.

Therefore, it is not surprising that there is such a secret passage outside Fengyuan City.

What's really strange is why Bai Youheng can walk among them so swaggeringly.

"clatter!"

The terrain slowly began to get steeper underfoot, and a light that was obviously different from a torch appeared at the end of the line of sight.

The man from Longwei looked back at Bai Youheng and still didn't ask any more questions. He just put his hand slightly on the handle of the knife.

He knew that now they had entered Fengyuan City and even entered the Dafeng Palace, and the light in front of them was the tunnel's exit.

I just don’t know whether the person waiting outside the exit is one of my own or a trap.

Or rather...

"this......"

Stand in front of the exit hole and look up.

The big man had imagined many possible situations just now, but the current scene was something he had never expected.

The long golden skirt hangs down, the phoenix crown presses the hair, and an alluring face looks down. What is in sharp contrast with the beautiful face is the coldness in the eyes.

Why is she a woman?!

The big man opened his mouth slightly and was stunned for a moment.

However, Bai Youheng was not surprised. He just walked forward, slightly cupped his hands to the woman outside the cave entrance and said:

"My descendant, Bai Youheng, has met the queen."

...

...

The moon is in the sky, south of Fengyuan City.

When Bai Youheng and Yu Pingjun met in the Dafeng Palace, Wei Changtian personally led a group of people quietly out of the city and went straight to the short mountain called "Xiaoye" outside the city.

To be more precise, we headed straight to the "shanty town" at the foot of the mountain.

Just as night fell, Chu Xianping received a piece of information, saying that a group of foreign traders who clearly did not look like "refugees" had been found here. They numbered nearly a hundred, and most of them had weapons hidden in their bodies.

It was obvious that such a group of people looked very much like Bai Youheng and the one hundred dragon guards, so Wei Changcai decided to go out and verify it himself.

If it was true, then he could kill Bai Youheng on the spot to prevent the latter from escaping again.

Of course, once Gu Diao dies, Bai Youheng will definitely no longer have the luck of being a child of heaven.

But it's better to be on the safe side.

"..."

"Dad, when do you think we can come back?"

"Didn't the government say it's July 16th?"

"Ah! There is still half a stone of food at home, I forgot to hide it!"

"You bitch... forget it, there aren't many people left in the city anyway, just bring out the valuable items..."

"..."

Although it is already midnight, the evacuation work is carried out 24 hours a day, so there are still people queuing up to leave the city.

In order to avoid alerting others, Wei Changtian and others pretended to be ordinary people and mingled with the group as they walked towards the shacks not far away.

"Son."

Du Chang, who was next to him, hesitated for a moment, then suddenly lowered his voice and asked, "When did we deploy manpower outside the city?"

"I asked Chu Xianping to do this."

Wei Changtian glanced at Du Chang: "After all, Bai Youhengbao may not have a way to sneak into the city without us, but before that, he will definitely show up around Fengyuan City."

"So I asked Chu Xianping to place some people outside the city, so that I can be prepared for any trouble."

"Yes, I understand."
