It turned out that he used her as bait to lure people here.
As for who this seduction is for, it is already clear.
The former crown prince, now King You, Qi Xu!
From what they said, someone wanted them to take King You's life and then bring his head back to report.
Those who regard King You as a "thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh" and are afraid that he will continue to live and regain control of the throne of the Eastern Palace are nothing more than people who are also eyeing that position.
Wei Yunlan already had some guesses about the identity of this group of people.
From the time they met outside the South City Gate until now, Wei Yunlan had only heard the voices of three people in this group.
But she was not naive enough to think that there were only three people guarding this place.
Just from what she saw outside the South City Gate, this team had at least seven people, and each of them was very skilled. Take the woman who had covered her with a handkerchief earlier, for example. According to her judgment, her strength was almost the same as Yu Qi and Zou Yun.
Definitely a master!
At this time, the old voice that was talking to the woman obviously had more say among this group of people. As soon as he said this, there was no more objection from anyone around.
I just don't know if his skills are as good as his status and better than others. If that's the case, the situation will be even more difficult.
From what he said, it seemed that he still had some regard for the old friendship of the late emperor.
But this old relationship was only enough to leave King You with a complete body. It can be seen that the master behind them was determined to kill King You.
Wei Yunlan guessed that the person behind sending this group of people was either the Second Prince, the Empress Dowager, or even Emperor Xiaoming. In any case, it was probably those people in the imperial palace in the capital.
No matter who they are, she can't let them succeed!
Otherwise, her involvement would be meaningless.
…
The north wind howled.
When Qi Xu's team was approaching the South Gate, a black figure joined them.
Along with it came Wei Mingxuan and Liu Quan. It's not that the others are not worried, but the more people come, the more likely they are to be the ones who hold back.
"Your Highness."
After a year in the North, Wei Mingxuan's swordsmanship did not improve much, but his riding skills did improve a lot. According to what Wei Yunlan had told him before, "You may not have the ability to kill the enemy in battle, but you must never lose the ability to escape."
Under the instruction of a "famous teacher", his riding skills are now not much different from those of the young men who grew up in the north.
He rushed all the way, following closely behind the black cloud, and was not left behind.
Without bothering to dismount and salute, Wei Mingxuan said hastily, "My mother has let Heiyun smell the handkerchief. Heiyun has a keen sense of smell, and after smelling it, he wanted to go northeast. My sister should be in that direction now."
Qi Xu nodded.
The Huifeng Pavilion mentioned in the note just now is located in the area slightly east of the north side of Beiguan City.
It is already very close to the border between Dayong and the Northern Barbarians.
A few miles further northwest is where the Northern Army is stationed.
If they dare to stay in this position, unless they have already prepared themselves to be unable to escape after the success, otherwise... they must have other things to rely on.
What exactly are they relying on?
Qi Xu knew that this was a crisis, but also a great opportunity. He was recently worried that he didn't have enough clues and evidence, and then the "evidence" came to him.
But compared to those, what is undoubtedly more important is Miss Wei's safety.
Even if the evidence is gone, you can still find it again.
If Miss Wei gets hurt or encounters a more serious crisis... he will regret it for the rest of his life.
After selecting two secret guards to follow Wei Mingxuan, Qi Xu then assigned five of the best secret guards to keep up with Heiyun's pace.
Among them was Zou Yun, who had been dealing with Wei Yunlan. She had not yet had time to explain her mission to the northwestern countries. She was in Beiguan City and learned from the Wei family that Wei Yunlan had been abducted, so she followed Wei Mingxuan and rushed here.
"You guys follow the black cloud and go ahead to find Miss Wei. Don't alert the enemy."
A group of people was divided into two teams.
On the surface, the number of people did not decrease, but instead Wei Mingxuan and Liu Quan joined.
Only people around Qi Xu knew about it, and several others had already quietly rushed to Wei Yunlan's side.
Although Qi Xu was anxious, he knew that the more times like this, the more he should not act rashly.
Since the other party sent a note, let him go.
Before he reaches Huifeng Pavilion, the other party will not take the next step.
What he wants to delay is this time difference.
The one in the Cining Palace... I'm afraid he could never have imagined that General Shi, who has always been loyal to the imperial power and never taken sides, has already expressed his sincerity to him in private.
Five thousand troops, plus General Shi's personal soldiers, are enough to blockade the Huifeng Pavilion within a radius of several miles.
Catch all those involved in this operation.
There is even a chance to dig up evidence of the other party's collusion with the Northern Barbarians.
While sending people to notify General Shi and dispatch troops, Qi Xu already had some guesses in his mind.
This must be the reason why Miss Wei risked her life and allowed herself to be abducted.
He couldn't let Miss Wei's efforts go to waste.
…
Silence returned outside the house.
After staying in a quiet environment for a long time, his senses seemed to become sharper. Wei Yunlan vaguely heard a faint breathing sound nearby.
This group of people was indeed cautious. Even after they confirmed that she was unconscious, they still left someone in the room to watch her.
Luckily, she never relaxed enough to open her eyes.
In order to maintain a "comatose" state, Wei Yunlan's consciousness had been immersed in the space. He immediately discovered that in the extra fog in the center of the space, there was some snow, dead grass and barely noticeable white powder.
It was the "mark" she left on the road.
It seems that Suihe has sent the handkerchief back home, and Heiyun came to find it.
Qi Xu and his men should also be on their way.
According to what the group had just said, the place they agreed to meet with Qi Xu was at "Huifeng Pavilion".
Wei Yunlan knew that place. It was an abandoned watchtower in the northeast of Beiguan City. Looking north from the newly built watchtower in Beiguan City, in addition to the beacon towers along the border, the most obvious one was the Huifeng Pavilion located between the two.
Wei Yunlan didn’t know where she was exactly now, but she should be not far from Huifeng Pavilion, or even underground in Huifeng Pavilion, so that when Qi Xu and others saw her, they could fall into their trap smoothly.
What they wanted was not negotiation, but Qi Xu's life.
The entire Huifeng Pavilion must have been filled with traps.
Wei Yunlan didn’t know exactly how many people they had, but in order to ensure that Qi Xu’s life could be taken smoothly, most of them had gathered here.
For these masters who have internal strength and skills far beyond ordinary people, it is meaningless to use human wave tactics. Unless they are all gathered together like now, it is difficult to control them all.
You only have one chance.
They wanted to take Qi Xu's life, and she wanted to cooperate with Qi Xu from inside and outside to catch them all in one fell swoop!
