Nangong Jiu waved at Xiao Wang Xiaoxing.
"You guys hurry up and leave. Although Wuwang's cultivation is lower, he won't be a big problem with me and Qingchen here.
When we came, we saw a mountain outside the city. We will wait for you there. Please go quickly and come back quickly."
Xiaoxing looked at Nangong Jiu worriedly, and disappeared first, and Xiaowang quickly followed.
Nangong Jiu looked at Taoist Qingchen and his disciple.
"With Xiao Wang and Xiao Xing gone, we can no longer hide our whereabouts.
I know the situation in the Ministry of Justice.
It can be said that there are many experts and the security is tight. There are many checkpoints on the ground, and it is difficult to escape without getting hurt.
The only way is to walk on the roof. Be prepared. The moment I break the roof, Qingchen will fly up with Wuwang on his sword.
After we went out, we went straight to the mountain outside the city, and they couldn't catch up with us.
Be careful, there will be a secret sentry on the roof, when you rush out, get higher as quickly as possible..."
Before he could finish his words, a series of footsteps were heard around the corner.
"Hurry! They're coming! If they start shouting and the sentries on the roof are prepared, a fight will be inevitable."
Taoist Qingchen quickly drew his sword, and the master and disciple stood on it.
Nangong Jiu waved his hand towards the master and disciple, and a faint halo of light enveloped them.
"Ready! One, two, three!"
As soon as he uttered the three words, Nangong Jiu stretched out his hand and waved towards the roof.
As the roof turned to powder, the master and his two apprentices jumped out of the cell and quickly rose into the air.
The moment they flew away, the jailer also discovered them.
"There's an assassin. Catch the assassin..."
As Nangong Jiu expected, the sentries on the surrounding rooftops discovered them and reacted quickly by shooting hidden weapons and arrows at them.
The hidden weapons and arrows could not get close to Nangong Jiu. The hidden weapons and arrows shot at Master Qingchen and his disciple hit the halo with a clang and fell down one after another.
There was a chorus of shouting and killing from below.
When the three of them rose to a height where they could not be harmed by hidden weapons or arrows, Taoist Qingchen glanced down and breathed a sigh of relief.
"Jiu Jun, that was a close call! Without your barrier, Qingchen and Wuwang would have had a hard time getting away unscathed."
Nangong Jiu glanced at the figures running around on the roof.
"Even without the barrier, you can easily sweep away those hidden weapons with your ability, but Wuwang is not necessarily the same.
Those people on the roof are all experts among experts, and they are quite capable."
Wuwang asked curiously, "Master, how come you are so familiar with the prison situation?"
"When I was in Dongling Capital, I went to the Ministry of Justice several times. The Ministry of Justice in the world should be similar."
The master and his disciples quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
The other side.
An important prisoner is missing, which is a very serious matter.
Minister Wang of the Ministry of Justice, who was handling official correspondence in his study, ran to the scene breathlessly upon hearing the news.
When he saw the cell without a roof, he paused.
Pointing at several jailers and sentries, he said, "Tell me in detail what happened?"
The jailer complained bitterly.
"Sir, we served them their last meal, and after leaving for a short while, they were gone when we came back.
There were only two people I had never seen before, with a little child, and they flew up from here."
The sentry also cried out: "Sir, those two people took the child and flew into the sky in a flash.
And the strange thing is that the hidden weapons we threw out couldn't hurt them at all.
Look, if a normal person lifts up the roof, there should be rubble or something, but there is nothing here, only some powder.
This is not something that ordinary people can do!"
Minister Wang nodded and said, "Secure the scene. I will report to the Emperor."
After saying this, he hurried to the palace.
The imperial study of Beiyue Palace.
Emperor Zhao Zhengxiong of Beiyue, who was worried about the possible famine, saw Minister Wang coming in hurriedly with an anxious look on his face.
He said angrily, "Why are you here instead of supervising the execution of the criminals? Has something happened again?"
Minister Wang knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, something strange has happened. Those prisoners from Dongling have disappeared..."
After recounting in detail what had happened, Zhao Zhengxiong looked at Minister Wang in astonishment.
"Are you sure?"
"I dare not lie! The scene is still there. Your Majesty can go and see it in person."
It seems that the gods protecting Dongling have taken action. It seems that those people are very important to Dongling. No wonder they are so tough and would rather die than reveal the matter of the gods.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhengxiong waved his hand: "Forget it, go back and clean up the mess, and don't mention this matter anymore."
"Yes!" Minister Wang backed out of the imperial study.
After turning around a few times in annoyance, Zhao Zhengxiong gave instructions to the eunuch.
"Go, summon the Prime Minister and several ministers from the cabinet to discuss matters. Oh, and call Prince Rui as well."
The eunuch received the order and left the imperial study.
Prince Rui Zhao Zhenghai, who was accompanying the Empress Dowager in the Cining Palace, ran to the imperial study in a hurry.
"Brother, I heard something happened in the Ministry of Justice?"
"Well, the gods protecting Dongling rescued those people. Luckily, we withdrew our troops in time, otherwise, if we had provoked them, I can't imagine the consequences.
I called you and a few ministers here to discuss peace talks..."
Border military camp.
Xiao Wang Xiaoxing and a few others suddenly appeared outside Chu Ruofeng's military tent.
"We're here, you can open your eyes now."
Chu Ruofeng's secret guards and personal guards discovered the few people and quickly surrounded them, helping them into the military tent.
"General, look who's back?"
Chu Ruofeng raised his head and exclaimed in surprise: "Jiang Yuan, Wang Enci...
It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back!”
After greeting them, he didn't see Nangong Jiu, so he hurriedly asked them, "Where is the person who sent you back?"
"General, they've gone back again."
The secret guard quickly took over the conversation: "It was Xiao Wang Xiaoxing, who was with the princess, who sent them back. Xiao Wang Xiaoxing said that the princess is still waiting for them to come back."
Jiang Yuan and his companions were stunned.
"So, the voice that has been talking to us is the princess?
General, the princess asked her men to send us back, but she stayed in prison."
"What? What happened? Explain clearly."
"We can't see them, we can only hear their voices..."
After Jiang Yuan finished speaking, Chu Ruofeng panicked: "Does that mean Xiao Jiuer and the two Taoist priests are still in prison?"
"That should be the case, but from what the princess said, they were able to escape and even arranged a meeting place."
"No, I have to ask. This is no joke. If anything happens to Xiao Jiuer, we will be blamed for it."
Chu Ruofeng hurriedly took out the paper bird given by Nangong Jiu from his arms.
"Xiao Jiuer, how are you guys?"
The paper bird flew out with a whoosh.
After a moment, it flew back with a whoosh.
Chu Ruofeng pointed at the paper bird nervously.
Everyone pricked up their ears nervously...
