Chapter 25



The young man's voice was slightly hoarse, as if he carried some sadness:

"The King of Qin was loyal and virtuous, and he was a man of both civil and military talents. During his many years in the military, he had fought countless classic battles in which the enemy won more battles than the enemy did."

"The eldest branch of the Sheng family was framed and exiled. It was all caused by the incompetent emperor and treacherous ministers. We will help as much as we can..."

The big man behind me remained silent, looking thoughtful.

But at this moment, a pigeon with shiny feathers flapped its wings and stopped to look at Gu Yuancheng's arm.

Gu Yuancheng touched the pigeon's head affectionately, then took off the letter paper from its feet and began to read it.

However, the more he looked down, the tighter his brows locked. Finally, he secretly urged his true power and turned 꿛껗's paper into ashes.

"This Qin Palace is really not simple. The several groups of secret guards we sent out all failed. Not only are the several storehouses in the Qin Palace empty, but all the dark rooms have been swept clean."

Nian's tone was indifferent, without any of the regret that should have been felt after the plan failed.

The tall guard behind him was so frightened that his eyes almost popped out of his buds:

"Wha...what?! It's empty?! How is that possible?!"

"The guards of the Qin Palace are all warriors who have fought on the battlefield. The reason why the second master of the Sheng family was able to sneak into Ningshouyuan was because they were not on guard against their own family. It would be more difficult for outsiders to sneak into the Qin Palace than to sneak into the Imperial Palace."

"We have been undercover in the Qin Palace for more than a month and have not been able to get close to the study. How... How is it possible that someone not only looted the Qin Palace's storehouse, but also emptied all the secret rooms overnight?!"

Gu Yuancheng had a playful smile on his face, his tone was still as indifferent as ever:

"Yes, how could it be possible that an outsider emptied the Qin Palace overnight? Of course... the outsiders stole it while guarding it."

"Supervisor...supervisor stealing himself?!"

Xuanfeng has grown taller, and compared to Xiaodou in front of him, he seems to be the ignorant little brat:

"You...you mean, all the things in the storehouse and secret room of the Prince Qin's Mansion were emptied by them themselves?!"

"So... so, the whole capital was robbed tonight, and all the things in the mansions of the dignitaries were... all taken away by the people in the Prince Qin's mansion?!"

"That's not right! As soon as it gets dark tonight, the entire capital will be under martial law. How is it possible that someone could evacuate the entire capital in the blink of an eye? This person... could this person be a magician?!"

Gu Yuancheng listened to the funny guard's mumbling for a long time without saying anything.

A pair of eyes as bright as stars were looking into the distance, and their gaze steadily fell on the body of the little girl who was sleeping soundly on Sheng Yichen's shoulder.

Then he couldn't help but smiled and shook his head. He felt that the thought that just flashed through his mind was ridiculous.

During the month that he had been working as a guard in the palace, he had come into close contact with the little princess several times.

Although he always felt that the little princess was a little weird now, how could a three-year-old kid with not even a full head of hair be the mastermind behind the evacuation of the capital? !

That's only one possibility...

Gu Yuancheng's eyes moved around and fixed on the tall man holding the little breast.

Her black hair was casually draped over her head, and even though she was wearing heavy shackles, her carefree and unrestrained demeanor was not diminished at all.

In the eyes of the public, Sheng Yichen is just a playboy who plays around all day long. But Gu Yuancheng knows that these are just appearances.

In fact, Sheng Yichen secretly controls all the secret guards of the Qin King's direct line. These people are spread all over the place, coming and going without a trace.

In short, among the direct descendants of the King of Qin who remained in the capital, he was the only one who might have emptied the capital.

This Qin Palace is truly a place full of hidden talents, far beyond his imagination...

Gu Yuancheng's young face was unpredictable, and there seemed to be surging waves in his crystal clear eyes.

Xuan Feng didn't know what his master was thinking. Suddenly he thought of something and said:

"Master, don't you suspect that the royal family of Nanqi has secretly formed an alliance with the Queen Mother Beichen? Are you going to sneak into the Prince's Mansion in person to find the correspondence between the Prince of Nanqi and the Queen Mother Beichen?"

"Originally, we had already figured out the deployment of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and we had the opportunity to sneak into the Prime Minister's Mansion. But tonight, the Prime Minister's Mansion was robbed, and now it is surrounded by three layers of imperial guards inside and outside. I'm afraid we won't be able to get in for a while."

At this point, Xuan Feng avoided his gaze a little, and spoke hesitantly:

"But... we should have another way to get close to He Huaiyuan. Brothers have heard that He Huaiyuan has recently become obsessed with Master Rabbit in the Jade House. No matter how busy he is with government affairs, he goes there to sit for a while every day."

"We can't get into the heavily guarded Prime Minister's Mansion, so wouldn't we be caught if we get into the Rabbit House? The Good Jade House is looking for young men recently..."

"I...I have no other choice. Didn't you say that those who achieve great things don't care about small matters? In order to avoid the pursuit of the old witch Beichen, you have been a maid, a guard, and a musician. For the time being, I will pretend to be a young... young man..."

Before Xuan Feng could finish his words, he was frozen by Gu Yuancheng's murderous look. He immediately swallowed back the rest of his words.

Gu Yuancheng was too lazy to bother with his stupid guard. He looked gloomy and ordered in a cold voice:

"The old witch's hidden guards should be finding the capital of Nanqi soon. Let Xuanxiao lead a team to escort my double all the way south. You lead the rest of the team and go north with me."

"Ah? Aren't we going to get close to He Huaiyuan to find evidence?"

A hint of sarcasm flashed across Gu Yuancheng's glass-like eyes:

"What do you think that thief with such a keen eye would leave behind for He Huaiyuan?"

Xuan Feng suddenly realized something:

"So we followed the exile team north? Because the letters from the prince's uncle were in the Sheng family?"

"It's not just letters..."

Gu Yuancheng's mouth curled slightly, his eyes dark and deep. He walked slowly towards the city gate.

Surprisingly, the snow on the ground was so deep that the young boots left only a few footprints where they had stepped on it.

When the Sheng family marched to the city gate to join other fugitives, the sky was already turning pale.

Some relatives and friends who came to see the exile team off had already gathered at the city gate.

The capital was still under martial law at that time, and all these people had paid a huge price to be released.

The people from the eldest branch of the Sheng family were not surprised to see someone they knew in the crowd, but they could not hide the disappointment in their eyes and brows.

However, the next moment, a shy voice suddenly came from nearby:

"Third... Third Young Master, this is the entanglement that my daughter prepared for you. She said...she said that you will understand her intentions after reading it..."

Then, a group of maids appeared out of nowhere, all holding large packages:

"Third Master, Miss Hongxiu has sent me to see you off. From now on, we will part ways and take care of ourselves. Please accept these gifts."

"Wuwu... Third... Third Master, my daughter fainted yesterday after hearing that you were convicted. When she woke up this morning, she urged me to bring her a feast. Wuwu... She said, she said please take good care of yourself, and she will regret it soon..."

"My lady has always admired the eldest master's reputation. When she learned that the young master was convicted, she ordered me to send you some cakes. It's just a token of my appreciation, not a token of respect..."

“…”

Most women in this era were shy, and many people who gave gifts were unwilling to reveal their names. They would just let the maids drop off the gifts and run away.

In just a cup of tea, the front of the Sheng family's main branch was filled with a hill of colorful blankets.

Compared with the one or two small packages among other exiles, the difference is not so obvious!

Nancy Sheng: ...

This gift is still too conservative.

The sons of the Sheng family are all stunningly good-looking, and in modern times, they are definitely top-notch.

According to the original book, the ban on the capital was lifted at dawn. At that time, there were even more brainless fans who came to send gifts to her third and eldest brothers.

The road to exile is extremely difficult, and these things are extremely precious to the current eldest wife of the Sheng family.

The two elder brothers sincerely thanked each other one by one, and took out 20 taels of silver from the money to honor the charioteer. This was not allowed to take so much property at one time.

Sheng Yichen smiled with his eyebrows and eyes slanting, and threw Sheng Nanxi into the air and caught her:

"Hehe... Sister, look! Exile is not that hard! As long as our whole family is safe, we can live happily anywhere!"

"Yes, brother. It can be happier!"

Sheng Nanxi smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed, and her little lips were looking towards somewhere in the capital. Her little voice was soft and tender, as if she was chanting some kind of spell:

"Bang! Blind Karaka!"

"jump--"

At the same time, a deafening explosion suddenly sounded from the palace that Xiao 꿛 was pointing at.

Instantly, flames shot up into the sky, making the little girl's fair face look like it was dripping with blood!
