Zi'an had never run so fast in her life. She almost thought that her feet were full of wind and she was about to fly.
Dao Lao Da ran and looked back. The man in black was chasing him. He gasped and said, "We'll be dead if we get out. We don't know how to do Qinggong."
The other person used light Kung Fu to chase them and took them down in just a few moves. What's more, they didn't know what the terrain was like outside. Maybe it was a cliff. If they rushed out, the result would be death.
The end is in front of me. There is light coming in. Escape? How? If I escape, I will die.
At the critical moment, Zi'an saw a stone door at the door. She said, "After we rush out, we will quickly put down the stone door. So you listen to my command. When I say run, you quickly hold me. I want to try to get some distance from them."
Although lowering the stone gate can only block the attack for a while, if there is a dense forest outside, they will be able to find a hiding place.
"Yes!" Although Boss Dao didn't understand why he had to hold her, as he would not be able to run if he held her, he was used to following Zi'an's orders and would not question anything Zi'an said.
They were almost at the cave entrance, about ten meters away, and Zi'an shouted, "Run!"
Boss Dao immediately turned around and hugged her. Zi'an stretched out the Scar Rope, and the Scar Rope flew out, and with a whoosh, it dragged the two of them out.
After flying out of the cave, Zi'an quickly turned around and kicked the big rock next to the stone gate. With a "boom", the stone gate fell down, blocking the way of the man in black.
But the door opened very quickly. Zi'an ran a few steps with Dao Lao Da, then dragged Dao Lao Da's arm, stretched out the scar rope, and with a whoosh, flew back and went straight to the tall ancient tree at the stone gate. Fortunately, the tree was tall and the leaves were dense, so as long as you didn't make any sound or move, you couldn't be seen at all if you hid there.
The man in black quickly opened the stone door, looked at the bushes and saw traces of footsteps, then chased in the direction Zi'an had just run.
Zi'an and Dao Lao Da watched the man in black running farther and farther away from the tree anxiously before they breathed a sigh of relief.
Boss Dao lowered his voice and said, "Princess, you are so smart that you even know how to point out the direction for them. Now they are chasing us. Let's go."
Zi'an hissed, "There are two more." She counted the heads before she started the fight just now.
Sure enough, after a while, two more people ran out, looked around at the entrance of the cave, and finally went in the direction of the man in black.
Zi'an pulled Dao Lao Da down the tree. The branches of the ancient tree were thick and the two of them were in a mess. After landing, they quickly ran in the opposite direction.
In the capital, Zi'an has been missing for more than three days.
Everyone in the capital knew about this matter, including the emperor. He was worried. On the one hand, he was worried about Zi'an. After all, if something happened to Zi'an, the regent would be distracted if he found out.
On the one hand, he was worried about his own illness, so he added an item to the bounty for the wanted concubine: whoever found the princess would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of silver.
A carpet search has been carried out at Zhenguo Temple.
Finally, they made a discovery. It was an abandoned cave, but someone had been there recently. The Night King led his men in and saw a long passage with two secret rooms and a place for making fire and cooking. One of the secret rooms had been burned, but the other still had mattresses, quilts and other daily necessities.
Someone once lived here.
After a thorough search inside, there was no sign that Zi'an had been here. However, Ye Wang learned from the knife marks on the wall that Boss Dao had taken action here, because there were traces of his sword left on the wall.
He had incredible brute strength, so the cut was very deep.
"Could it have been moved?" Prince Liang also came.
"After the fight, it's possible that Qisao and Xiaodao escaped, or they were killed." The Night King said in a deep voice.
King Liang was startled, "No way? Isn't there still Scarface?"
"Scarlett is not omnipotent." said the Night King.
Prince Liang's face turned pale. "If something really happens, the Seventh Uncle will go crazy when he comes back."
Ye Wang said: "Don't think too much, just look for it."
On the fourth day, a dramatic change occurred.
The emperor issued an order to let King Ye and others return to the capital. The princess and the seventh prince were rescued, and the noble concubine was also arrested.
The Night King and his men hurried back to the capital.
He was dumbfounded when he saw the scene in front of the hall.
Prince Nan Huai was seen kneeling in front of the hall with a whip on his back, and the noble concubine was also kneeling beside him, but she was tied up, waiting to be summoned by the emperor.
The emperor naturally would not summon him, so he ordered the two people in charge, King Ye and King Liang, to come back to deal with it.
King Nan Huai cried so hard that his voice became hoarse. He just kept howling and vomited several times, leaving the ground dirty.
As for the noble concubine, her face looked dejected and desperate, with blood flowing from her mouth. It was unknown whether she had internal injuries or what.
She probably could never have imagined that the one who would catch her in the end would be his son.
It took almost four hours from the time the emperor issued the decree to the time the Night King returned to the capital. They knelt here for four hours, a total of eight hours.
However, the noble concubine still knelt straight, without losing her dignity as a noble concubine at all, and she knelt with more posture than others.
As for King Nan Huai, he cried for eight hours and was still able to cry loudly. King Ye concluded that this man was a talented person.
Since King Nan Huai had come to ask for forgiveness, it was natural that an emergency meeting of ministers had to be convened.
The ministers who were working in the meeting room were summoned to the main hall.
King Ye and King Liang sat on the chairs next to the dragon throne and summoned King Nan Huai and Concubine Dowager Gui to enter the palace.
King Ye and King Liang first went to see the emperor and asked him how to deal with the matter.
The emperor only said one sentence, "Rewards and punishments are clear!"
Rewards and punishments are clear, this is very clear.
Prince Nan Huai brought Zi'an and Concubine Gui back, and they were rewarded for their merits. Concubine Gui was guilty of treason and should be punished.
Of course, there will be questioning in the temple.
Nan Huai Wang cried and said, "When I arrived at Sujiang Town, I heard news from the capital that my mother had led assassins into the palace to assassinate the emperor. I was deeply shocked and worried that my mother would make the same mistake again, so I went back to the capital against the imperial order and personally arrested my mother. As a son, I failed to persuade my mother to make a big mistake, and I am also guilty, so I am here to plead guilty."
King Nan Huai kept repeating these few sentences over and over again, without saying anything else. He looked like someone who had suffered a shock and was mentally disturbed.
The noble concubine said nothing and was unable to speak. The Night King ordered his men to check and found that her tongue had been cut off.
"Since you have arrested her, why do you have to cut off her tongue?" asked King Liang.
Prince Nan Huai cried until he was almost out of breath and said, "When I arrested her, she kept cursing Your Majesty. I had no choice but to cut off her tongue."
Makes sense!
I just can’t say it, can I write it
She couldn't write either. Her hands were so burnt that they left a burnt smell.
Upon seeing this, King Ye and King Liang couldn't help but shake their heads. How cruel was their son's heart
In this case, there is nothing more to ask. Zi'an is back, the noble concubine has been arrested, and the emperor had no intention of pursuing Prince Nan Huai. So let it be.
However, he couldn't really reward him with 20,000 taels, so the Night King used a rather detrimental method and withheld the reward money.
"Prince Nan Huai's return to the capital against the Emperor's order is indeed a serious crime, but considering that he has made contributions in saving the Princess and arresting the traitor, his merits and demerits can be offset. As for Sun, her title of Linggui Taifei will be stripped away, and she will be imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison to await the Emperor's punishment."
