Although the Black Feather Guards are elite troops trained by Xiao Cheng and are determined, Leng Qingqiu and Lu Jingxuan are no pushovers. One was a former killer and has many means of extracting confessions, and the other was a former swordsman and will not show mercy either.

Not long after, the two men reunited, compared their statements, and confirmed that they were the only ones conducting surveillance.

As for why they were discovered hiding, Lu Jingxuan also gave the answer. He had been observing with a telescope before, and the two men in black saw the reflection.

Although they didn't know what it was, their long-term vigilance allowed the two to escape quickly. As long as they entered the dense forest, they could escape the pursuit by relying on the terrain.

But I didn’t expect that this time it wasn’t just Leng Qingqiu, there was also Lu Jingxuan.

"Okay, since no one is following us, let's go after the lord and the others."

Lu Jingxuan spoke.

Leng Qingqiu naturally had no objection. He moved and used Qinggong to leave. Lu Jingxuan hurriedly followed. Leng Qingqiu glanced at him and said, "Chasing the wind and stepping on the leaves?"

Lu Jingxuan was stunned for a moment, then said, "I didn't expect Miss Leng to recognize my Qinggong. I wonder who is her master?"

"I'm telling you, you don't know me either. You must be the Wind Chaser from back then."

Lu Jingxuan sighed a little. He hadn't heard anyone mention the title of Wind Chaser for a long time. But Leng Qingqiu continued, "I thought you were dead. I didn't expect you were hiding in the palace."

"I advise you to stay away from my master, lest your enemies come to seek revenge and implicate my master."

Lu Jingxuan's face twitched, and he felt that Leng Qingqiu was really direct. He smiled bitterly and said, "Don't worry, Miss Leng. I have been hiding in the palace for so many years. My enemies thought I was dead and they probably won't look for me anymore."

Leng Qingqiu said calmly: "I will tell the master your identity and see how he decides."

After saying that, he quickened his pace.

Lu Jingxuan followed closely behind. Leng Qingqiu raised his eyebrows, wanting to test how high Lu Jingxuan's lightness skill was. He circulated his internal energy to increase his speed again.

But Lu Jingxuan remained inseparable from her, which made Leng Qingqiu look at him with a higher opinion of her. The fact that he could keep up with her speed made him qualified to fight with top-notch masters.

Not long after, the two caught up with Pei Yun.

Pei Yun saw the two people catching up and asked, "How is it?"

Lu Jingxuan said: "We have captured them and they have confessed that there are only two Black Feather Guards. They followed us to find out our movements so that they can notify the border troops to prepare."

Leng Qingqiu pulled Pei Yun up, dragged him aside, and told him Lu Jingxuan's identity.

"Master, I heard that the enemy he provoked is not ordinary. He is a well-known strong man in the Jiangnan martial arts world. It is better not to keep him around to avoid trouble."

Pei Yun smiled and walked towards Lu Jingxuan.

"My lord, I..."

"Jingxuan, no need to say more, I don't care about your past, as long as you sincerely help me now, you are mine, and no one can touch you."

Lu Jingxuan immediately clasped his fists and said, "Thank you, my lord."

Pei Yun patted his shoulder and said, "Let's go."

When Leng Qingqiu heard Pei Yun say this, he didn't know what to say.

Then the group hit the road again, speeding up.

The journey that was supposed to take three days was completed in one day. Linnan Pass could be seen in the distance. Yan Kan released an eagle to observe whether there were any ambushes by border troops.

After confirming that there was no ambush, he asked Gowa to lead them to the road that could bypass the border town.

Huo Xiao smiled and said, "I'm afraid Zhou Su is still waiting for the Black Feather Guard to send back news, but he doesn't know that we have already entered Yizhou."

Chang Wei asked, "Brother, will Xiao Cheng send troops to attack us?"

Before Pei Yun could speak, Lu Jingxuan said, "No."

"First, we are an envoy appointed by the imperial court, representing the emperor to visit the Southern Barbarians. If he openly attacks, it would be like treason, and the crown prince will be the first one not to let him go."

"Secondly, we have successfully completed our mission and established trade with the Nanman. This is a great achievement that benefits the country and the people. Once the news spreads, the name of the lord will surely spread throughout the court and the country, and Xiao Cheng will be even more unable to take action."

"So if he wants to take action, he can only do so before we return to Yizhou. As long as we enter Yizhou, he will not touch us unless he rebels now."

Chang Wei suddenly realized, "So that's it."

Pei Yun smiled and said, "Jing Xuan still sees things clearly."

Lu Jingxuan smiled. He just wanted to display his talent and make Pei Yun value him. That way, when Pei Yun became an immortal in the future, he would take him with him.

"My lord, although we have entered Yizhou now, we cannot make a big move yet. We still have to rescue the princess."

Pei Yun nodded, "What's your plan?"

Lu Jingxuan said: "It's not a strategy. The palace is heavily guarded. It's not easy to bring the princess out, unless the princess comes out herself."

Pei Yun said: "Now that you mention it, it occurred to me that Zhiruo has a clothing store. If she gets bored in the palace, she will probably go to the clothing store."

"Qingqiu, go to Shudu immediately. If Zhiruo shows up at the clothing store, take her away immediately. If not, bribe the shop assistants and ask them to pass on the message."

Leng Qingqiu nodded. Now Pei Yun’s biggest weakness in Xiao Cheng’s eyes was Xiao Zhiruo. As long as Xiao Zhiruo was not in Xiao Cheng’s hands, he would not have to be afraid of Xiao Cheng.

Lu Jingxuan said, "Let me go with Miss Leng. We have to do this quickly. We have to make Xiao Cheng think that we are still in Southern Xinjiang. Otherwise, if time passes and the border troops don't receive any news from the Black Feather Guards, they will definitely know that something has happened. It will not be easy to bring the princess out again."
