Chapter 140 Escape

The pain that Murong Yi had imagined did not come, but he saw Murong Jing fainting on the ground for no apparent reason.

He got up and kicked Murong Jing. Murong Jing lay there like a dead dog without moving an inch, while Murong Yi wiped his face randomly. He didn't have time to deal with Murong Jing and had to leave here quickly.

He looked around and the whole underground palace was dead silent. No one was there, so he ran quietly to the door. When he reached the door, he stopped and hesitated.

I just don't know if the man in black will come out to block his way.

Murong Yi looked back at Murong Jing lying on the ground, but if he didn't leave at this moment, he was afraid that Murong Jing would wake up and he would not be able to leave. He gritted his teeth and reached out to open the door.

When the door opened, the imagined man in black did not jump out. He took a deep breath and stepped out.

When he came out, he found himself in an ordinary house. He hurried out of the house, unable to tell the directions of the yard, so he ran in any direction as long as he could get out of the yard.

He was lucky because he was running in the direction of the gate. When he saw the gate, he was overjoyed. He quickly quickened his pace and ran towards the gate, then opened the gate and rushed into the night.

The moment he rushed out, a dozen people hurried towards him.

"Your Highness!" Those were his guards.

When the guards found out that he was missing, they immediately ran out to look for him. They searched the entire city and even dug three feet into the ground, but they still couldn't find Murong Yi.

If Murong Yi cannot be found, all of them will be buried with him.

Just when the guards were about to despair, they saw Murong Yi rushing out of a yard. They hurried over and supported him.

"Hurry and find an inn."

When Murong Yi saw the guards coming, he felt relieved and immediately gave orders.

He definitely couldn't go back to the county government office. He disappeared there, and going back would be like a sheep walking into a tiger's mouth.

Who knows if there is anyone else waiting for him out there.

A dozen guards supported him and quickly found an inn to stay in.

Yao Lao came hurriedly, took his pulse and gave him medicine.

When he saw the wound on Murong Yi's face, Yao Lao's face turned pale.

The wound is so deep that you can see the bone. Even with his special medicine, it may not leave scars. What a pity.

After everything was done, Murong Yi finally relaxed completely. After drinking some medicine, he fell into a deep sleep.

What he experienced that night was so terrifying that even when he fell asleep, he slept extremely restlessly.

Murong Yi woke up at noon the next day and saw Yao Lao and General Tian standing by his bed.

"Your Highness, you finally woke up. What exactly happened?" General Tian asked anxiously.

Such a big thing happened in just one night.

A dignified prince was kidnapped right under his nose, and in the county government office. This was too much of a disrespect for him, and they were treating him, a general, like a decoration.

What’s even more infuriating is that the suspect is actually the county magistrate. This is going to kill him. If Murong Yi can’t be found, he will be the first to lose his head.

Poor protection!!

"Where is the governor of Wang County?" This is the person Murong Yi wants to catch the most.

"It's gone."

General Tian replied that when it came to County Magistrate Wang, General Tian was furious. When he learned that Murong Yi was missing, he immediately led people to search for him, but found that County Magistrate Wang was also missing, and it was most likely that he was the perpetrator.

General Tian was confused at the time. He captured an older yamen runner and asked him about County Magistrate Wang. The runner hesitated for a long time before saying that the county magistrate was not County Magistrate Wang at all. County Magistrate Wang had disappeared for no reason two months ago.

General Tian was furious when he heard this. Such a bizarre thing happened right before his eyes and he simply couldn't believe it.

Murong Yi frowned. No wonder he looked at the county government office in surprise.

"hiss!"

At this time, I felt a sharp pain on my face. I touched my face, which was wrapped in bandages. The pain that penetrated deep into my bones was

It shows that what happened last night was not a dream, but real.

Murong Jing is not dead yet.

He glanced at his chief guard, summoned him, and said, "Hurry up and take your men to search the courtyard where I left last night. There's an underground palace there, and Murong Jing is inside. Capture him and bring him to me."

The captain of the guards was stunned for a moment, then came to his senses, bowed, and immediately took his men there.

General Tian finally realized what Murong Yi had said. He asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, the Murong Jing you just mentioned is the one who was sentenced to death?"

Murong Yi nodded and said with a gloomy face, "Yes, it is him. I don't know why he didn't die, but came here instead. It was him who kidnapped me. He is the one who caused the wound on my face."

"Then how did the prince escape?"

General Tian was shocked as if struck by lightning. It took him a long time to come back to his senses and ask Murong Yi that he had only heard of such strange things as resurrection from the dead, but had never actually seen it.

Murong Yi angrily said, "He originally wanted to kill me, but for some reason, at the critical moment, he inexplicably fainted. I was also scared half to death at the time. I couldn't believe that a dead person could be resurrected, so I ran out in a panic."

It's not that he is incompetent. In that situation, everyone would choose to escape first. There is no need to boast about how brave and fearless he is.

This also shows that when the guards received him, they did not immediately order someone to search the yard. He was so scared that he forgot.

If you search now, you probably won’t find the person anymore.

But it would be good if we could find the underground palace, and then report that Murong Jing is not dead. Maybe there will be another turn of events.

Since there’s no one to take the blame for the theft in Beijing, then let him take some of the blame.

We also have to find a way to connect Murong Li and Murong Jing. One of them is in the open and the other is in the dark. Only when they join forces will they have the ability to empty the national treasury.

Hahahaha——this time we’ll catch them both in one fell swoop.

As for the fact that Murong Jing did not die, it had nothing to do with him. He was not the only one who saw Murong Jing die with his own eyes. There were several eunuchs as well. The current chief eunuch was also present at the time, so he was not afraid that Murong Jing would say in front of the emperor that he was the one who let Murong Jing go.

No matter how much you frame someone, you can't put him on the spot. It wasn't him who threw Murong Jing into the mass grave.

General Tian believed Murong Yi's words. He did not comment, and then said, "Your Highness was lucky to escape with his life. We will investigate and see what we can find."

Murong Yi nodded.

An hour later, the guards returned. The captain said, "Your Highness, the person is gone, but the underground palace you mentioned does exist. We found a lot of things in it and brought them back."

Murong Yi: "Okay, General Tian, ​​check those things to see if there is anything valuable."
