Seeing the official robes these people were wearing, Wu Liping whispered to Xuan Yuanzhan and the others in the carriage, "They are the Azure Dragon Guards of the Northern Wei Imperial Palace, which are equivalent to the Imperial Guards of Eastern Chu."
Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Xuening exchanged a glance.
It seems these are the people who were dumped by General Su.
Wu Shou, the leader, first glanced at Wu Liping, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar, but couldn't recognize him at first: "Search him!"
At Wu Shou's command, the Azure Dragon Guards were about to step forward.
Ye Feng and Ye Yun, who were following nearby, immediately drew their swords when they saw that the Azure Dragon Guards were about to use violence.
Seeing them draw their swords, the Azure Dragon Guards instantly became alert, and Wu Shou even shouted angrily at the carriage, "Have you been hiding our prince? Hand him over at once!"
Xuanyuan Zhan lifted the carriage curtain, coldly glanced at the Azure Dragon Guards, and finally fixed his gaze on Wu Shou: "We are new to Northern Wei and do not know what you are talking about. Please do us a favor."
Seeing Xuan Yuanzhan's extraordinary temperament and noble aura, Wu Shou subconsciously felt a sense of apprehension.
But now the imperial grandson is missing. If they don't bring the imperial grandson back, none of them will survive.
"This is a matter of great importance, we really can't make that kind of concession." Wu Shou gave a wink to the Azure Dragon Guards below, and they immediately swarmed forward.
Xuan Yuanzhan's eyes narrowed, and with a casual wave of his hand, the Azure Dragon Guards who had swarmed forward were instantly sent flying.
"Pfft!" Before anyone could even shout, they all spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing his men so easily and severely injured, Wu Shou instantly drew his sword and stared warily at Xuan Yuanzhan: "Who exactly are you?"
This person's martial arts are amazing! The Azure Dragon Guards are already the elite of the elite, and their martial arts are second to none. Yet this person can seriously injure them all with just a casual wave of his hand!
One can imagine that if this person wanted to kill them, it would be effortless!
This was definitely the most skilled martial artist he had ever seen.
“Just a passerby. We don’t want to cause trouble, and we’ve never seen the person you’re talking about,” Xuan Yuanzhan replied expressionlessly.
Wu Shou didn't believe him at all. Under normal circumstances, he would never provoke such a person. But now that the imperial grandson was missing, if they didn't find the imperial grandson, they really wouldn't be able to explain to the emperor. They might even lose their lives because of this!
"Sorry, I can't find anyone, so I can't let you pass."
From the Western Hills hunting grounds to here, this was the only person they had seen. He couldn't help but suspect that the disappearance of the imperial grandson was related to them, so this person absolutely could not be let go easily.
Xuanyuan Zhan remained silent for a moment before speaking, "I believe you understand that with my abilities, killing you would be as easy as turning my hand."
As Xuanyuan Zhan spoke, he released the oppressive aura emanating from his body.
Wu Shou instantly felt as if his internal organs were about to explode, and he couldn't breathe properly, as if someone was choking him.
As time passed, his brain went black due to lack of oxygen, and he even saw death approaching in that darkness.
Finally, just as Wu Shou felt he was about to explode and die, the oppressive aura suddenly disappeared.
Fortunately, Wu Shou was sitting on a horse. If he were standing, he would probably be kneeling on the ground with weak legs by now.
He gasped for breath, as if taking even one less breath would not save him.
Xuanyuan Zhan stared intently at Wu Shou: "I don't want trouble. I can let you search our carriage. If the person you're looking for isn't in our carriage, please let us leave."
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't want to waste time with them here. Of course, he also didn't want to cause too much trouble in the territory of Northern Wei. At least before General Su regained his memory, they shouldn't cause any big commotion.
"Okay." Wu Shou agreed immediately without hesitation.
Even if this man were willing to let them search his carriage, they probably wouldn't be able to do anything about it.
This man's martial arts skills are unfathomable. They are no match for him. If they were to actually fight, they would probably all die here without even having to return to report to the Emperor.
If the imperial grandson weren't truly important, he would never have wanted to confront them here.
Now that he's willing to let them search the carriage, that's all the better.
Seeing that he agreed, Xuan Yuanzhan helped Su Xuening down from the carriage.
Su Yun'an also jumped off the carriage.
This time, they didn't bring Xiao Bao with them. Xiao Bao was being looked after by Lan Jingxiao and Shao Jingling at the Wu residence.
Wu Shou stared in disbelief at Su Xuening's stunning beauty.
What a beautiful woman!
Like a fairy!
Wu Shou glanced at Xuan Yuanzhan and Su Yun'an again, and seeing that they were both handsome and noble, he became curious about their identities.
Just by looking at their appearance and demeanor, you can tell they are no ordinary people. Moreover, they don't look like people from the Northern Wei Dynasty. So who are they, and what are they doing in the Northern Wei?
Seeing that Wu Shou was staring at them, Xuan Yuanzhan frowned unhappily and said, "Aren't you going to search us?"
Wu Shou then came to his senses and quickly said, "Please wait a moment."
Perhaps it was because Xuan Yuanzhan's aura was too overwhelming, Wu Shou unconsciously felt the need to be respectful to him, and even used honorifics to address him.
Wu Shou glanced at the Azure Dragon Guards who were still lying on the ground unable to move, and had no choice but to get on the carriage and search them himself.
Their carriage was large and exquisitely decorated, and one could tell from it that they were no ordinary people.
Wu Shou did not forget his purpose in searching the carriage. He searched the carriage inside and out, top to bottom, and even searched under the carriage and on the side panels. In short, he searched every place where a person could hide.
Indeed, nothing was found, nor was there any trace of anything related to the imperial grandson. Wu Shou could only come out and apologize to Xuan Yuanzhan and the others, saying, "I'm sorry, we misunderstood. You can leave now."
Xuanyuan Zhan didn't say much to them, but helped Su Xuening into the carriage.
The group boarded a carriage and headed towards the capital.
After the carriage left, Wu Shou looked at the Azure Dragon Guards lying on the ground groaning and frowned impatiently, saying, "Get up now."
The Azure Dragon Guards could only struggle to their feet.
One of the Azure Dragon Guards clutched his chest and asked Wu Shou, "Sir, are we just going to let them go like this?"
Wu Shou glared at him unhappily: "They have nothing to do with the imperial grandson. If you don't let them go, you're trying to arrest people."
How can we capture someone with such high martial arts skills?
He probably killed them all before they even made a move.
The Azure Dragon Guard was intimidated by Xuan Yuanzhan's martial arts skills and dared not speak further.
Wu Shou narrowed his eyes as he stared at the departing carriage: "You guys, go and follow them, see where they settle down."
He always felt that the identities of these people were somewhat strange.
"Yes." Several Azure Dragon Guards responded, mounted their horses, and chased after the people.
Wu Shou looked at the others and frowned, saying, "The rest of you, keep searching. If we can't find the imperial grandson, we'll all die!"
"Yes." The group responded, and disregarding their injuries, immediately continued their search.
