In Prince Zhao's Mansion, the servants had already turned on the lamps, illuminating the courtyard brightly.

The actors on the stage are still performing hard, not daring to slack off, because the Sixth Prince of the Jin Kingdom has not finished enjoying themselves. As long as the prince does not stop, they will continue to perform, even if they die on the stage.

Stop.

The servants watched the performance happily. They had never been so relaxed as they were today. This was probably the happiest day in the palace. Wanyan Honglie used to be strict and unsmiling. The servants did not even dare to show off in front of him, but

Today the servants found that the Sixth Prince was always smiling.

Not only the sixth prince, but also the young prince was smiling. It was really a happy family.

Yang Kang felt that his face was a little tight. It turns out that if he fakes a smile for a long time, his face will become really stiff. Look at Wanyan Honglie, he is the real powerful actor.

He knew that Wanyan Honglie would not let the performance stop until Yang Tiexin's captor came back. They were all waiting for the final result, and this drama would eventually come to an end.

The sound of hurried footsteps broke the joyful atmosphere in the yard.

Coming!

Wanyan Honglie and Yang Kang's hearts tightened at the same time, and they turned their heads towards the footsteps. The person who came was Wu Qinglie, the second among the four ghosts of the Yellow River. He was the one with the best footwork among the four brothers. He usually had to hand over messages.

Let him do it.

Wanyan Honglie said hello to Bao Xiruo, left his seat, and came to the edge of the courtyard. Wu Qinglie reported to him in a low voice the arrest operation in Nancheng. So far, no trace of the rebels had been found.

The expression of the Sixth Prince of the Kingdom of Jin did not change, but the ten fingers behind his back were tightly twisted together, and the knuckles were a little white. This was undoubtedly bad news. According to Wu Qinglie, the thief was indeed in Nancheng, and Duan Tiande could testify to this.

, but after searching for an hour or two, I still couldn't find it.

This is my own territory, and I can't even catch a reckless man!

Wanyan Honglie was a little angry, but he couldn't search for Yang Tiexin in a big way, otherwise the news would definitely come out afterwards. Bao Xiruo knew that this matter was only a matter of time. He wanted to get rid of Yang Tiexin secretly, and he couldn't

leak any rumors.

Today is the Dragon Boat Festival, and the curfew will be later than usual.

Normally, the curfew would be at 1 o'clock or 3 o'clock in the evening, but today it was postponed to 2 o'clock in the evening. The time for later generations is between 7 o'clock and 9 o'clock in the evening, which means that the city gate will be closed at 8:30 o'clock in the evening.

, there should be no one on the street except the patrolling soldiers, otherwise they can be killed on the spot.

"Take my king's order and ask the soldiers guarding the city to close the city gate immediately." Wanyan Honglie ordered, "Continue the search in Nancheng. If you encounter thieves, kill them without mercy."

Wu Qinglie took the order and left, while Wanyan Honglie returned to his seat and continued watching the show.

Yang Kang watched the words carefully and knew that the incident in Nancheng had not yet come to an end. The performance had to continue. No matter how beautiful the performance was, it would be exhausted after watching it for two hours. Bao Xiruo felt a little tired, so he went back to the inner house to rest.

Only Yang Kang and Wanyan Honglie were left looking at the actors on the stage in silence.

In Kaifeng Nancheng, night fell, and Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci in the cellar were preparing to leave the cellar and escape from the city.

Yang Tiexin wanted to go to Prince Zhao's Mansion to verify his conjecture. If he could meet his wife, he would be willing to die, but thinking about the decisive words of the young man named A Kang, he felt sad and hesitant at the same time.

My wife is now a princess and living a life of glory and wealth. What can I give her?

Wanyan Honglie has already noticed that he is afraid that he will be hacked to death on the street before he can reach the palace. He would not regret his death, but he cannot let Nianci die with him. Now he must leave Kaifeng City and settle his daughter.

Come back then to find out.

Yang Tiexin made up his mind, ducked out of the cellar, walked into the wine merchant's yard, stole a few pieces of clothing, and returned to the cellar to change into Mu Nianci's clothes. Although they didn't fit well, they were still a cover up.

The father and daughter left the cellar and left the market in the dark via a small road. Fortunately, Yang Tiexin had been doing casual work here for two months and was very familiar with the surrounding roads. At this time, the first watch had already been called, and Wu Qinglie and the guards who had summoned him were on their way.

On the way to the city gate, the five city gates outside Kaifeng City are about to close.

Kaifeng Nancheng fell into chaos. The poor people who were preparing to celebrate the Dragon Boat Festival did not expect to suddenly encounter the officers and soldiers arresting the rebels. The officers and soldiers destroyed their homes wantonly. They did not dare to resist and could only remain silent and allowed the officers to search.

.

Duan Tiande was getting more and more irritated, seeing that a great opportunity to make meritorious deeds was about to slip away. The entire Nancheng had been searched closely, but no trace of Yang Tiexin was found. This meant that Yang Tiexin had probably left Nancheng and was preparing to leave.

Kaifeng City is here.

The city gate became the key to intercepting Yang Tiexin. He summoned Peng Lianhu, Sha Tongtian, and the remaining three ghosts of the Yellow River, and described to them the general appearance of Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci. Then everyone split up and rushed to Kaifeng City.

of five city gates.

The bandit leader Peng Lianhu deliberately chose a city gate that was far away. He felt that if Yang Tiexin escaped, he would definitely choose a city gate that was closer. No matter which city gate he escaped from, as long as he did not appear in front of Peng Lianhu's eyes.

However, Yang Tiexin thought that the city gate closest to Nancheng would be heavily interrogated, and only the city gate farther away could get through. So Peng Lianhu's tragedy happened. He discovered Yang Tiexin and Mu among the crowd who were about to leave the city.

Traces of Nianci.

what do I do?

Peng Lianhu was really depressed. For the first time, he hated that he had a pair of bright eyes. He saw two fugitives in the crowd at a glance. But since he had let them go once, he had to let them go again. At the home of King Jin

He couldn't afford to get involved.

He was standing at the gate of the city with the soldiers guarding the city. He couldn't hide even if he wanted to. He could only watch Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci pass by him. He had to pretend to be nonchalant. That girl

She turned around and smiled at him and said something softly.

"You are a good person."

This sentence made Peng Lianhu feel insulted. We are ruthless gangsters. People in the world call them Thousand Hands Massacres. We kill people like crazy. We are full of tricks and do all kinds of evil. This is our style. I never thought that one day I would be called a good person.

I feel really unhappy.

Amid Peng Lianhu's complaints, Yang Tiexin and Mu Nianci left Kaifeng City safely, and the city gate slowly closed behind them.
