Chapter 756: Chapter 756: The Escape of One
Liu Sisi’s words at ordinary times could be considered very unpleasant, but hearing them at this moment by County Magistrate Mu, they were like heavenly music!
His heart rejoiced and he hurriedly got up to bow again.
“Prefecture Princess, please rest assured! This subordinate will definitely not let you down!”
“Very good! County Magistrate Mu, please get up, and let’s sit down and talk. Old Cheng, get a better cup of tea for County Magistrate Mu.”
Now that he had become one of them, Liu Sisi naturally had to comfort him: “It’s rare for County Magistrate Mu to come here. I don’t know if you have received any news from the imperial court.”
It was only at this moment that County Magistrate Mu could stabilize his mind, hurriedly bowed his body, and showed a few traces of joy on his face. It seemed that he had placed the right bet!
“The situation in the court is extremely complex nowadays. Zhao Jiong has proclaimed himself emperor in Gongzhou City, while His Majesty has lost his trace in Gongzhou City. When the news reaches the capital city, it immediately causes chaos! The princes in the capital city are now vying for the imperial throne, and court ministers are forming cliques for their own personal gain…”
“Is that true? Can you rely on your sources?”
At this moment, Liu Sisi could no longer sit still and hurriedly got up to ask.
“This is absolutely true! Even if I had the greatest courage, I would not dare to joke about such a major event! According to reliable sources, the capital city now only allows people to leave, but not to enter. Even during daytime, there is a curfew…”
County Magistrate Mu returned late that night.
However, this left a big shadow in Liu Sisi’s heart.
“Ye Lei, you must come back in time! Brother Zhang, it’s my fault. I shouldn’t have sent you to meet Ye Lei in such a chaotic situation. It’s my mistake…”
That’s right! Liu Sisi had sent Zhang Peng to lead Di Yelei’s 800 trusted soldiers to meet up with them. But now, it seemed that her actions had put Zhang Peng and the others into the tiger’s mouth. How could she not feel great regret? How could she explain this to Guihua?
As she was regretting, Ms. Gao entered the room by lifting the curtain.
“Madam, Madam Guihua is here!”
Guihua is here! This really is a case of what one fears, it comes!
–
After a night of stealth, Di Yelei and the others were crouched in a small pass, sleeping soundly with their eyes closed.
No kidding, having a wise advisor in the team makes a huge difference!
Taking advantage of the darkness, they had bypassed several checkpoints in a row and were now on a small hill not far from the Flying Horse Hostel.
The closer they got to the Flying Horse Hostel, the tighter the layers of defense became. When everyone arrived at this place, they were all sweating profusely. It was not because it was too hot, but because they were soaked in cold sweat!
At the moment, although they were still far away, they could see from a distance that the lamps in the Flying Horse Hostel were bright and colorful, illuminating the entire building and casting dancing shadows. The open space in front of the hostel was full of patrolling soldiers who appeared from time to time.
It really was an extremely tight security! With the overlapping reflections of the riverside fishing fires coming from afar, the whole Flying Horse Hostel seemed even more eerie and majestic.
Everyone couldn’t help but shrink their heads back. The elder Daoist was counting on his fingers and calculating for a long time, muttering words that no one could understand. In the end, his brows furrowed tighter and tighter, shaking his head and sighing repeatedly.
