The sun sets in the west, and the tired birds return to their nests.
The afterglow shrouded the sky over Yanlong Imperial City, and the doors and windows of the people in the city were open. It was obvious that they had just been searched.
In the palace.
In the Feifeng Palace, the beautiful figure of Shangguan Bangning was walking back and forth, with a look of anxiety on her pretty face, and her eyes looked outside the palace from time to time.
"Da da da!"
There was a sound of hurried footsteps, and a beautiful figure entered the Feifeng Palace. Shangguan Bangning walked up to Qing Ning with her lotus steps.
"Emperor Chu, how is the situation?"
"Princess, Emperor Chu has escaped from the palace and his whereabouts are unknown. Soldiers searching the city have found no trace of him."
"He escaped. It seems he still has a chance to survive."
Shangguan Bangning had a worried look on his pretty face, and whispered softly.
"Princess, the emperor has ordered the whole city to search for Emperor Chu. Two armies of Red Flame and Yanhu have entered the city outside the city. The imperial city must be impregnable now. Not to mention Emperor Chu, even a living person, not even a fly, can even think of leaving."
"Moreover, all the guards brought by Emperor Chu died. In the palace square, the eighteen guards under Emperor Chu killed more than 3,000 of our soldiers."
"The emperor was furious and had ordered their bodies to be hung at the city gate."
"What!"
"Eighteen men killed more than three thousand people!"
"Everyone knows that the Chu State has many powerful generals. My father's move was not intended to declare full-scale war on the Chu State. Can Yanlong really block the Chu State's military front?"
"When the two countries fight, it is inevitable that all lives will be destroyed. My father's careful deployment failed to kill him. It seems that Chu's strength is not exhausted, and Yanlong will be in danger."
at this time.
Shangguan Bangning was conflicted in her heart. She did not want Chu Feifan to die, but when she thought that the Chu Kingdom's cavalry would conquer the Yanlong Empire in the future, she felt inexplicable panic in her heart.
Today, Shangguan Hong Bu Bu wanted to kill him. When the Chu army comes to the city in the future, Shangguan Bangning is worried that everyone will become the dead souls of the Chu army.
"Qing Ning, send our people throughout the city to search for Emperor Chu's traces. We must find him in front of our father."
"Don't worry, princess, I will make arrangements right away."
At present.
Yanlong Palace.
Shangguan Bangning was not the only one waiting anxiously. Shangguan Hong in the imperial study was also on pins and needles.
It had been three hours since Chu Feifan left the palace. Dozens of soldiers came to report. After searching the whole city for three times, no trace of Chu Feifan was found.
The whole person disappeared inexplicably. Shangguanhong concluded that he must still be in the imperial city, and there must be something he hadn't thought of yet.
It is almost night today, so it is okay to block the city gate in advance. If nothing is found tomorrow, the city gate will be opened. Otherwise, the city gate will be blocked for a long time, which will definitely cause dissatisfaction among the people in the city.
At that time, all kinds of rumors will spread like wildfire, and the people in the city will definitely discuss it. I believe that everything that happens in the palace will be known to the people in the city, because there is never a wall that is airtight.
"Deying, I have issued an edict to put up portraits of Emperor Chu throughout the city, and tell the people that anyone who knows anything about it will be rewarded with tens of thousands of princes, tens of millions of gold, and thousands of pieces of silk and satin."
"In addition, the two generals, Sikong Kui and Yuchi Rong of Xuanyang City, are ordered to kill the soldiers of the Chu army in the city and capture Xuanyang City."
"Instruct Ba Xiong, the guard of Yanyun City, to keep an eye on the movements of Chu State's border towns at all times. If Chu State sends troops, they must not be allowed to cross Yanyun City."
"Your Majesty, this old slave has a plan that can capture the cities of Chu in a few days."
Li Deying had a cold expression, his slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a cunning look, and he said with determination in his voice.
"oh!"
"Deying has any good ideas, but it doesn't matter!"
Shangguan Hong sat down with his sleeves rolled up, his expression calm and composed, and his powerful voice sounded.
"Your Majesty, the fake show is real!"
"Now that Chu is trapped in the imperial city, let us generals disguise themselves as common people and sneak into the cities of Chu to spread the news that Emperor Chu is dead and Yanlong has unified the seventh rank."
"In less than half a month, the people and soldiers of the Chu State will definitely feel disheartened. The king of the country is dead. The Chu State was originally formed by the merger of various countries. Once the news spreads, people from all over the country will definitely rise up."
"Deying's plan is very clever. Once the news of Emperor Chu's death spreads, the territory of Chu State will be completely chaotic. Then it will be our best chance to unify Chu State."
"good!"
"good!"
"good!"
Shangguanhong said three good words in succession, his eyes rested on Li Deying, with a strong look of approval on his face.
"Deying, the city gates will continue to be sealed, and efforts will be made to search for Emperor Chu's whereabouts. In addition, people will be sent to spread the news of Emperor Chu's death by Yan Long, saying it is a vendetta."
"yes!"
"Slave, let's do it now!"
.............
Chu Feifan was unaware of everything that happened in the Yanlong Palace. In Liu Ji's mansion, he and Zhao Yun briefly freshened up, put on their clothes again, and were led by Liu Ji to his study.
During the two hours in Liu Ji's mansion, Yanlong soldiers came to search twice, but they could not find any trace of them.
In the study.
Liu Ji motioned for the two of them to sit down, with a worried look on his face, and said: "Emperor Chu, our emperor is very thoughtful. I believe it won't be long before he will suspect Bowen, so just in case, Emperor Chu still needs to
Find another way."
"Mr. Liu, that's what I meant. We will leave at nightfall. The grace of saving your life today will be repaid in the future."
"Emperor Chu, there is no need to be like this. Such a trivial matter is not worth mentioning!"
At night.
The dazzling stars hung in the sky, and the bright moonlight fell on the long street.
Chu Feifan and Zhao Yun left the backyard of Liu Mansion and quickly disappeared into the alley. After many twists and turns, they finally returned to Feixian Restaurant three hours later.
Entering the restaurant, under the leadership of Xue Dao, the two of them quickly walked to the top floor of the restaurant. A creaking sound sounded and the three of them entered the room.
at this time.
There were dozens of people in the room, and they were all warriors from the Tianmen hidden in Yanlong Imperial City. The sound of opening the door came, and Yan Qiong turned around to look, his eyes resting on the three of them.
"Whoa!"
"Welcome Lord Longzun and return safely!"
The words stirred up a thousand waves, and other people in the room followed the sound, and their eyes stayed on Chu Feifan.
"Whoa!"
"Whoa!"
Suddenly.
Dozens of people all knelt on the ground with respectful expressions. Seeing this, Chu Feifan raised his hand to signal everyone to get up.
Yan Qiong stretched out his hand to signal Chu Feifan to sit down, and said: "Long Zun, the whole city is currently under martial law, and the Tianmen disciples are secretly investigating the traces of Long Zun in the city."
"Now that the Dragon Lord has returned safely, my subordinates will send someone to order everyone to retreat, so as to avoid being noticed by the Yan Dragon Emperor."
Chu Feifan nodded lightly, his eyes stayed on Yan Qiong, and said: "Master Yan Pavilion, is there a way to get out of the city?"
"Dragon Lord, the Flame Dragon Emperor has sealed off the entire city. The soldiers searching the streets have not yet withdrawn. It may be impossible to leave the city for the time being."
"But if we force our way out of the city, it's not impossible, but Tianmen will suffer too heavy a loss."
"Forced to leave the city?"
"This is by no means the best strategy. For now, we should stay the same to cope with the ever-changing situation, and just pay attention to the trends in the city at all times."
"Yan Qiong, let everyone retreat!"
