"Tell me the situation in the city in detail." Sheng Yichen said in a calm tone.
Xinggui glanced at the ignorant little kid in Sheng Yichen's arms.
I thought that the Third Young Master really loved his little sister. He even took care of his work and didn't forget to coax her to sleep. But I didn't dare to think too much and continued:
"Jinyang County is now under full martial law, with soldiers standing guard on every street in the city. The city is also surrounded by the Yongjun Army, like an iron barrel. Whether entering or leaving the city, you must pass strict inspection."
"Yesterday, soldiers posted many notices on the street, saying that the old master and the fifth son were poisoned. His Majesty issued an order, 'Although these two have committed heinous crimes, they have also made countless contributions. They are allowed to cure the poison and then set off for the exile place.'"
"It is said that the old man and the fifth son are now imprisoned in the Yongjun camp in the city. The Yongjun has found many famous doctors but none of them can cure the poison in their bodies, so they have posted notices all over the city looking for famous doctors."
Sheng Yichen took the notice that Xinggui had taken down from the wall and glanced at it. He said in a light tone:
"Well, they've placed all their bets here. They're counting on using Dad and Old Five as hostages to catch all of us in one fell swoop. The situation in the city is definitely more complicated than it appears on the surface."
"Besides our group, have you detected any other unusual people passing through this place recently?"
"Prince Yong He Huai'en and the commander of the Yong Army Zhou Dingbang arrived in Jinyang a few days ago and should still be in the city. In addition, we also found many more people in the martial arts world nearby, and they look like people from the Xianyuan Sect."
Seeing that Sheng Yichen had no intention of interrupting, Xinggui continued:
"We have recently learned that the Xianyuan Sect has close contacts with people in the Southern Qi court. I am afraid that they are targeting us this time."
"Tsk tsk...even people from the Xianyuan Sect are invited..."
Sheng Yichen looked up at 꽭, his tone somewhat mocking.
"Since the prosperous times, the martial arts world and the imperial court have not interfered with each other. The imperial court and the martial arts world working together for profit is a sign of troubled times. It seems that the Xiao family's rule is really coming to an end..."
"Since there are no troops nearby, it means that the avalanches ahead are just trying to block our way. Their real troops are still in Jinyang City."
"Go down and tell the brothers hiding nearby to be careful and not to act without my order."
"yes."
The star track disappeared in an instant. Sheng Yichen then looked at his little sister in his arms, seeking her opinion.
Although he trusted his secret guards very much, it was better to let as few people know about his little sister's unique characteristics as possible.
Sheng Nanxi frowned and spoke in a serious tone:
"The late emperor granted our family permission to raise three thousand hidden guards. But after all the journey from the capital, there are only about two thousand left. They have the army and the people of the underworld."
"If we teleport to the military camp and start a big fight to rescue Dad and Brother Five, we will be completely at odds with the Southern Qi court. When the time comes, we will be surrounded and intercepted by all forces, and it will be difficult for us to escape from Liuyun County with our family of old, weak and disabled people."
Apart from anything else, they might face endless pursuit in the future, and won't have the good days of leisurely outings like they do now.
Even if they really escape to the north, they will suffer heavy losses.
"and……"
"And they prepared for so long, how could they let us succeed so easily?! The one in the Yongjun camp is most likely a trick, they hid Dad somewhere else!"
Sheng Yichen continued.
"Yeah." The little girl nodded lightly.
"Since it's not Daddy and Brother Five in the Yongjun camp, I'm afraid they are just spreading the news that He Huai'en and Zhou Dingbang are in the city as a cover-up. We want to catch the leader first, and I'm afraid it's impossible to catch the core person and force him to tell us Daddy's whereabouts."
The novel does describe the Xianyuan Sect, a martial arts sect. The people in this sect are extremely good at creating illusions by various means.
In the early days, he still relied on some small tricks to confuse the world and pretend to be a ghost. Later, his influence gradually accumulated and he also had many followers among the people.
In the second half of the novel, Southern Qi and several nearby countries experienced a famine and their regimes were crumbling, leaving the situation in chaos.
This sect took the opportunity to deceive the people and became bigger and stronger, becoming the "savior" in the hearts of many people.
But the so-called "saving the world" is nothing more than an illusion created by them. The essence of these people is to deceive the people under the banner of gods and build up their own power.
In the end, those who do evil will eventually perish. The Xianyuan Sect was destroyed by Gu Yuancheng, who had just ascended the throne as the emperor of Beichen.
Although the original book did say that after Sheng Jinghai and his son were captured, they were detained in the Yongjun camp in Jinyang County and monitored day and night by three thousand soldiers.
But that was also because all the members of the Qin Palace gave up resistance, and the other side felt that there was no need to spend too much energy dealing with them.
Now, Sheng Nanxi not only forcefully changed the plot, but also plundered most of the life savings of the He Huaiyuan brothers.
She could figure it out with her toes. The two brothers hadn't bothered them so much. Wasn't it because they wanted to give them a hard time in Liuyun County? !
Since the people of Xianyuan Sect have been invited out, they can completely let the people of Xianyuan Sect create illusions to avoid Xinggui's detection and hide Daddy and Fifth Brother in a more unknown place.
Moreover, the other party was obviously very cautious this time. Even after Sheng Dehai's repeated attempts, he was unable to extract any useful clues from the person he contacted.
For now, there are also...
"We should not act rashly for now. It is best to settle down in Jinyang County first. We can disguise ourselves as quack doctors who posted notices and enter the military camp. Let them think we have really fallen into their trap and let down their guard."
"Give the secret guards and Lin Shaoxuan more time to move quietly and find the whereabouts of Dad and Fifth Brother."
Sheng Nanxi's eyes sharpened and her tone became grim.
"Once we find them, we'll kill He Huai'en and Zhou Dingbang! We'll search Jinyang County and the Yongjun Camp until nothing is left!"
"We can only escape if we make the Eternal Army completely chaotic!"
Over the years, He Huai-yan and his Yongjun have done all kinds of bad things for He Huai-yuan, and now it is time to settle accounts thoroughly!
