Tang Jiuge immediately used all his strength to hunt down Lu Xianchen.
For a time, many people in Yucheng knew that he was looking for someone.
As for who he was looking for, he didn't say it clearly and made quite a fuss.
The Dingbei Palace originally had a lot of hidden stakes in Jade City. When they received the news, they immediately went to find Lu Xianchen.
They had actually tried to find Lu Xianchen at Cheng Lixue's place before, but Cheng Lixue's residence was too weird and heavily arrayed, making it impossible to break in.
Now that Lu Xianchen has come out, they will naturally not miss this opportunity.
But they were not here to save Lu Xianchen, but to kill him!
This is the order they were given before.
Only when Lu Xianchen died in Jade City could they hold him accountable and ask for benefits from Tang Jiuge.
Lu Xianchen actually did not leave Cheng Lixue's residence. He heard the noise outside in his room and felt a little complicated.
Jing Shiyu clicked his tongue twice and said, "Prince Lu, you are also a pitiful person. The elders in your family seem to want you to die."
Lu Xianchen's eyes narrowed slightly and he said softly: "This is something that is expected."
He said this, but he felt uncomfortable in his heart.
No one wants to be an outcast.
Cheng Lixue walked in and asked: "Your Majesty, are you ready?"
Lu Xianchen nodded: "Ready."
Cheng Lixue smiled slightly: "Okay, you can officially appear."
Lu Xianchen nodded.
According to what they had discussed before, at this time, Lu Xianchen needed to show his face in front of others in order to achieve good results.
As for the time, place and escape route for Lu Xianchen to show up, Cheng Lixue made careful plans.
Lu Xianchen looked at Cheng Lixue's various detailed designs. Although it was a bit dangerous, he should be able to handle it.
After he left wrapped in a black cloak, Jing Shiyu lightly tutted: "Old Cheng, in terms of black heart, you are the blackest."
"With the route you designed for him, I'm afraid he will lose half his life tonight."
Cheng Lixue said softly: "What are you talking about? His life is not in danger, so why should I be so evil?"
Jing Shiyu curled his lips slightly and was very disdainful of his statement.
Jing Shiyu suspected that Cheng Lixue deceived Lu Xianchen so much because Cheng Lixue was deceived by Tang Miaoxin before, and he wanted to make amends with Lu Xianchen.
At dawn, a carriage quietly left Jade City mixed in with the convoy of New Year greetings leaving the city.
The carriage was very inconspicuous. It moved forward and stopped in front of a somewhat dilapidated house next to the official road.
Tang Miaoxin got out of the carriage wearing plain clothes. She knocked on the door three times, and an old man opened the door.
When Tang Miaoxin went in, she saw Lu Xianchen lying on the ground dying, and asked with a smile: "Is the prince okay?"
At this time, Lu Xianchen's clothes were in tatters. There were big holes on his chest and legs, and blood was flowing from his body.
He didn't know where he got it, and there were a lot of grass clippings on his head. He looked like a refugee fleeing a disaster.
Lu Xianchen gritted his teeth and sat up, looked at Cheng Lixue behind Tang Miaoxin and said, "Thanks to Master Cheng, I won't be able to die for a while."
Cheng Lixue bowed her hands to him and said, "I admire the prince's bravery very much."
"After what happened last night, everyone knows that you have escaped from Jade City."
"The Crown Prince showed his face three times yesterday, and each time he showed his face just right. No matter the time or place, it was the perfect time. I admire him very much."
Lu Xianchen no longer wanted to talk to Cheng Lixue.
He should have known that no one around Tang Miaoxin would be normal.
He originally thought that no matter what, Cheng Lixue was a world-famous scholar and a true scholar, so he would be more secure in doing things.
Facts have proved that scholars are the worst!
The route Lu Xianchen walked last night was indeed designed by Cheng Lixue, and Cheng Lixue also explained the details very clearly.
But he didn't know which road Cheng Lixue would set up the formation!
Those formations have a time limit. Basically, if he walks around in them for a quarter of an hour, the formations will be broken.
But this quarter of an hour was enough to lure his pursuers over.
He had agreed that he would only show up once, but in the end he showed up three times!
Because he showed up a lot, and because Cheng Lixue deliberately tricked him, the journey was full of dangers.
There were several times when Lu Xianchen really thought he was going to die, but in the end he avoided the sword due to some special circumstances at the most critical moment.
He was hunted for most of the night, and most of his life was lost. His whole body was in unspeakable misery.
Strictly speaking, Lu Xianchen's injuries were not serious, but he was tired!
At this moment, he only felt that there was no part of his body that was not sore!
Tang Miaoxin has always known about Cheng Lixue's pit. At this time, Cheng Lixue will definitely let Lu Xianchen do business well.
Because the business last night is directly related to the subsequent performances.
She said warmly: "Your Majesty, there is no need to be angry. Taifu Cheng also wants to make it easier for him to do things later."
"I have some medicine for treating trauma here. It's very useful. You put it on first. We can set off after you apply the medicine."
Lu Xianchen glanced at her with complicated emotions.
At this moment, he wasn't sure if he was on the pirate ship.
But he had no choice. King Dingbei's intention to kill him was very obvious. Apart from cooperating with Tang Miaoxin, he had no other chance of survival.
Jing Shiyu asked Honglu Xianchen to apply the medicine very discerningly.
Tang Miaoxin asked Cheng Lixue: "Have everything been done properly?"
Cheng Lixue nodded: "Your Highness, don't worry, everything has been arranged properly."
"I also used what happened last night to fish out several waves of Dingbei Prince's spies buried in Jade City or people who were bribed by them."
"Commander Yu should have submitted the list to the king by now. The king will make some arrangements and ask them to release some news back to Dingbei Palace."
"With these true and false news mixed in, it will be more convenient for His Highness to act."
Tang Miaoxin went to Dingbei Palace this time and brought Cheng Lixue and Jing Shiyu with her.
These two people are not very good at martial arts alone, but they are both good at forming formations.
This ability can at least save your life in case of danger.
Moreover, one of these two guys has rich experience in the world, and the other has rich experience in court. They are both masters of deceiving people. What if they come in handy?
Tang Miaoxin smiled: "Mr. Cheng is still thoughtful."
Jing Shiyu mustered up the courage to ask, "Can I not go to Dingbei Prince's Mansion?"
Tang Miaoxin nodded: "Of course."
The smile on Jing Shiyu's face just appeared a little, and then he heard her say again: "If you don't go, it means you are worthless."
She asked Cheng Lixue: "Mr. Cheng, how should we deal with worthless people?"
Cheng Lixue cursed in her heart, but still said: "It is a waste of food for worthless people to live in this world."
