Chapter 355: If you run away from me, you will never be able to fly.
When what happened in Xiaoye Mountain reached Yu Pingjun's ears as quickly as possible, Wei Changtian, who was at the foot of Xiaoye Mountain, was bowing his head in thought amid the chaos.
Both unexpectedly and expectedly, Chu Xianping failed to find Bai Youheng.
However, Du Chang captured more than thirty dragon guards, while the remaining seventy took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
Although the people of Longwei have been instilled with the value of "preferring death to rebellion" since childhood, the methods of extracting confessions are not unreasonable. Therefore, after interrogation, Wei Changtian has now obtained some key information.
Five people, Zishi, north of the city.
This is all the information about Bai Youheng's whereabouts.
Wei Changtian certainly didn't know Bai Youheng's specific plan, but since the latter's actions were so clear, it undoubtedly meant that he had a way to enter the city from the north.
To the north...what's there?
His brain was running rapidly. Wei Changtian thought about it for dozens of breaths, and then he slowly said under the gaze of Chu Xianping and Du Chang:
"If nothing else happens, Bai Youheng should have entered the city by now."
"Du Chang, take people to the north of the city to find out how he entered the city."
"Brother Chu, you and I go to see Li Qi..."
After a pause, Wei Changtian looked up at the huge and majestic Fengyuan City in the night, and his tone was cold.
"No, I just need to go see Li Qi myself. Brother Chu, go and inform the watchmen, the government, and the city's army, and tell them..."
"The city will be closed from now on."
...
...
"Queen, are you telling the truth?!"
The candlelight swayed and the sandalwood scent lingered.
The silver-armored general had already opened the door and left, but Bai Youheng could no longer remain calm.
He arrived at Fengyuan at noon, but less than six hours had passed, and Wei Changtian had already captured the Longwei people.
Everything happening now can only mean one thing -
Wei Changtian had known for a long time that he would come to Fengyuan.
But how is this possible?
I was extremely careful along the way and never noticed anything strange.
Could it be that...the news was leaked from Daning?!
It has to be said that Bai Youheng, the son of heaven, did not give anything in vain. He guessed the truth in just a few breaths.
And he also knew that now was not the time to think about this, what was more important was what to do next.
Fengyuan City, where I have lived for twenty years, is now like a dragon's pond and a tiger's den to me.
The fine works left in the city were no longer dared to be used, and the dragon guards outside the city were all captured.
Then the biggest support I have now is the Queen Da Feng, who is the most beautiful but crazy Queen in front of me...
"Mr. Bai, I have no interest in joking with you."
Slowly placing the secret letter on the candle and lighting it, Yu Pingjun's face became even more beautiful in the light of the fire.
"What I told you happened half an hour ago. If the person you brought here is not strict... Wei Changtian may already know where you are."
"Won't."
Hearing what Yu Pingjun said, Bai Youheng immediately frowned and denied: "Only the few people who traveled with me knew about my entering the city through the secret passage, and no one outside the city knew about it."
"Mr. Bai, you think Wei Changtian is too simple."
There was a faint sneer on Yu Pingjun's face: "You have been fooled by him once regarding Yama, and it is not impossible that you will fall into his hands again this time."
"Queen."
Having his scars uncovered and ridiculed, Bai Youheng's tone was no longer as respectful as it was at the beginning. When he narrowed his eyes and threatened, "If I really fall into Wei Changtian's hands, you will definitely not end well."
"I think the Queen should understand this."
"Haha, of course I understand."
Lord Yu Ping once again showed that charming smile: "So please rest assured, sir, I will ensure that you leave Fengyuan City safely and soundly."
"..."
There was no answer or response.
Bai Youheng just took a deep look at Yu Pingjun, and then quickly thought about what he would do next.
There are two purposes for entering the city yourself——
The first is to send a letter to Yu Pingjun, which has been completed.
The second is to recover the Gu carving, which has not been completed yet.
Now the Gu Eagle is still hiding in the small lake dozens of miles away from the palace. Considering the need to hide along the way, it will take at least half an hour to get here.
Moreover, the palace is heavily guarded, and although the Gu Eagle can turn into an incorporeal body, it can still be seen by others, so it is also very time-consuming to sneak in unnoticed.
Therefore, I need at least another hour.
"Queen, give me a quiet room and no one can disturb me for an hour."
Thinking of this, Bai Youheng stopped nagging and immediately made his request: "In an hour, I need to leave the city immediately!"
"One hour..."
Yu Pingjun smiled softly when he heard this.
"Okay, I'll help you."
...
...
"Your Majesty, Mr. Wei would like to see you."
Dafeng Palace, Tianlu Hall.
When the people who were lining up to leave the city were suddenly stopped in the city, a young eunuch quickly walked to Li Qi who was "working late at night" and said in a low voice:
"Master Wei said he wanted to seal..."
"emperor!"
Before the young eunuch could finish speaking, the door of Tianlu Palace was suddenly pushed open.
A figure stepped in immediately, not caring about the unsheathed swords of the imperial guards in the palace.
Strictly speaking, such a move is considered "trespassing on royal territory" and can be killed on the spot.
But the person who came was Wei Changtian, so the imperial guards did not dare to act rashly.
Even Li Qi just smiled bitterly and waved to everyone.
"Everyone, go down."
"yes."
The young eunuch and a dozen imperial guards filed out of Tianlu Hall, leaving only Li Qi and Wei Changtian.
The latter took two quick steps and came to the table. After slightly cupping his hands, he said straight to the point:
"Your Majesty, Bai Youheng entered the city from the north tonight and is now in Fengyuan City!"
Bai Youheng.
As the manipulator of Yama, Li Qi has naturally heard of this name for a long time.
So his first reaction after hearing this was——
"Huh? So Yama is not dead?"
"Your Majesty, Yama's life and death have nothing to do with Bai Youheng."
Wei Changtian quickly explained: "But even if Yama is really not dead, as long as Bai Youheng is killed, the former will never survive."
"Is it?"
Li Qi frowned and gently put down his pen: "Where is Bai Youheng now?"
"I don't know yet, so I came to ask for an audience with the emperor."
Wei Changtian handed over his hand again: "I hope the emperor can allow me to temporarily seal Fengyuan City for a few days."
"Closing the city..."
Li Qi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Master Wei, I'm afraid you should kill him first and then show him off."
"Ahem, the situation is urgent, I hope the emperor will forgive me."
With a somewhat embarrassed cough, Wei Changtian quickly changed the subject: "Well... I have one more thing I want to ask the Emperor."
"Ask." Li Qi shook his head helplessly.
"Yes, may I ask your Majesty that apart from the city walls and gates..."
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and then slowly asked: "Is there any secret way to enter the city in the north of Fengyuan City?"
"this......"
After hearing this question, Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then fell into a long silence.
The expression on his face changed several times, and finally he raised his head under Wei Changtian's gaze and shouted in a deep voice:
