Chapter 334 Princess Jinglan, it's been a long time
Upon learning this news, Yun Zhao immediately bid farewell to his master and set off.
"Is there anywhere to go?"
Pei Jishi asked worriedly.
"I plan to secretly go to Fengyun City, deliver a message to the capital, and then wait for news from the capital before making a decision."
The emperor had once again decided to kill her father, so they had to change course and see what to do next.
"Alright, be careful. If you really can't find anything, come to Medicine King Valley to find your master. Medicine King Valley is a deep mountain range, and even if the army goes into the mountains, they won't be able to find you."
As for what the emperor thought, that was not something Pei Jishi could worry about.
"Thank you, Master! Master, please go back quickly to avoid being implicated!"
Yun Zhao hugged his master and bid him a hasty farewell, not knowing when they would meet again.
Not daring to linger for too long, Yun Zhao turned and left.
First, he sent Xiaoying back to Linjia Village to report the news, while Lu Xun took her back with him.
Little did they know, they were blocked as soon as they arrived at the gate of Guanzhou City.
Leading the group was Chen Kang, the former deputy commander of the Imperial Guards and now the commander of the Imperial Guards.
Yun Zhao still recognizes the other person to this day.
"Princess Jinglan, it's been a long time."
Chen Kang, riding on horseback, looked at Yun Zhao with a half-smile.
"Although the weather isn't hot, let's take off this veil; it's quite uncomfortable to have it covering our faces."
Lu Xun's hand instinctively rested on his sword.
"Brother, there's no need for you to be so cautious with us. We are simply on orders to escort the princess back to the capital."
"On whose orders?"
Yun Zhao simply took off her hat and looked at him calmly.
"The Imperial Guards are acting on His Majesty's orders, Princess. Rest assured, your family will also come to the capital to reunite with you."
After saying that, Chen Kang waved his hand, and hundreds of imperial guards surrounded her.
Lu Xun clenched his fists inwardly as he surveyed the Imperial Guards.
If he fought hard and had the help of wild beasts, he was confident that he could safely take Yun Zhao away.
"Uncle Lu, you guys go ahead, I'll go back to Beijing with them."
Yun Zhao said in a low voice.
"Miss Yun Zhao!"
"They just arrived in Guanzhou. A large force like theirs can't possibly be as fast as Xiaoying. They came for me."
I'll be alright, but my father won't. Please find a way to save my family, I beg you.
Yun Zhao said in a low voice.
Lu Xun tightened his grip on the reins and said in a low voice, "Alright, don't worry, I will find a way to save them no matter what."
Chen Kang watched the two of them whispering to each other, and his eyes darkened.
"Princess, please."
"You only want to take me back; just let the others go."
"Does the princess really think we'd let someone go back and report this?"
Even if you let them go now, they won't be able to get to Linjia Village before you.
What are you afraid of? Or do you think the tigers and leopards I keep are vegetarians?
Yun Zhao took out a bone flute from his sleeve, his youthful face filled with murderous intent.
"I can't go out without wild animals, so you should be prepared and bring a large group."
But the wild animals I keep are trained; if a fight breaks out, none of you will escape unscathed.
Even if you take me back to the capital, so what? Do you think His Majesty only wants me?
The emperor wanted to kill her father and was making a big show of taking her back.
Aside from thinking that she could control beasts and wanting to take advantage of that ability, Yun Zhao couldn't think of any other reason.
As expected, Chen Kang's expression immediately changed.
"People can leave, but horses can stay."
Lu Xun dismounted and brought Yun Zhao down with him.
The father and son withdrew from the encirclement and watched helplessly as Yun Zhao was taken away by them.
"Father, how are we going to explain this to the master?"
Lu Li was still young, and he felt extremely frustrated to let Yun Zhao leave with them.
"Confrontation will only make things worse. Just now in the city, Miss Yun Zhao must have learned something else."
"Send the message to our master first; we're heading back to Linjia Village now."
Lu Xun turned back to the city, only to see a group of people heading towards Liu's residence.
It seems something really happened at the Liu residence, and Yun Zhao's whereabouts were also exposed.
The news reached Northwest and Liangzhen, and the father and son took two horses from Tingyu Pavilion and headed straight for Linjia Village.
Linjia Village.
After reading the letter, Yunxuan and the others fell into deep thought.
"What does Lord Wei think?"
Yunxuan tapped the table rhythmically, his expression remaining largely unchanged.
"The situation was indeed very strange when the King of Loulan's palace was massacred in the Western Frontier."
If what Eunuch Liu said is true, Your Majesty is probably connected to Prince Qi from back then.
Wei Mingde was somewhat confused.
How exactly did a case from forty years ago become connected to an emperor in his twenties?
Just then, Xu Yiyan knocked on the door.
"Brother-in-law, it's all packed."
Let's go.
They packed some light belongings, left the silver with the village chief Lin Jiadong, and left Linjia Village in a simple and unpretentious manner.
When the Imperial Guards arrived at Linjia Village, the houses at the foot of the mountain were already deserted.
"They actually ran away?"
The Imperial Guards were in a real bind.
They had been rushing as fast as they could, not daring to stop for even a moment, but they still hadn't made it!
"Boss, the things were packed in a hurry. They must have received the news not long ago before they left!"
Many personal belongings were left unpacked, indicating that they had simply packed their personal items and left.
"They can't have gone far with a group of old, weak, sick, and disabled people. Quickly, search everywhere!"
Hundreds of imperial guards searched Liang Town and nearby villages, but after several days of work, they found nothing.
The people of Linjia Village had already received kindness from the Yun and Xu families. Before Xu Yinan left, he buried a hundred taels of silver for them on the mountain, enough for Linjia Village to live on for a long time.
Not to mention, with the help of Xu Yiyan and Lu Xinnian, they renovated the paddy fields and houses over the past year.
There are also many specially made tools that have greatly improved life in Linjia Village.
With just these factors, it was impossible for the people of Linjia Village to inform the Imperial Guards of their news.
The Imperial Guards searched the area and were about to interrogate the villagers when He Chuan arrived with his men.
"It is my responsibility to investigate the disappearance of the exiles. I entrust the Imperial Guards to search for and capture them!"
Afterwards, He Chuan reprimanded the officials and clerks who remained in Liang Town.
"You lot have been in Liang Town for so long, yet you didn't know about the disappearance of the exiles. What is your punishment for this!"
"Excuse me, my lord!"
Everyone immediately knelt down.
"Brothers of the Imperial Guards, you've worked hard. Now, let the officers and soldiers of Guanzhou take charge."
He Chuan smiled naturally.
The local prefect was in charge of exiling people, and the imperial guards were ostensibly there to pick them up, but in reality, they were there to kill them.
But now that the person has disappeared, they have no reason to take the matter away from the prefect.
"Then we will return to the capital to report back."
The Imperial Guards left with their men.
He Chuan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"My lord, what should we do now?"
They can't really hunt down the Prince of Jin, can they?
"Post arrest warrants where necessary, and search for people where necessary."
As for whether it can be found, who can say for sure?
I just hope that things will be resolved in Beijing soon.
He Chuan felt somewhat helpless.
Yun Zhao was taken away by the Imperial Guards in Guanzhou, and the entire Liu family was executed by the Imperial Guards.
What exactly happened?
He sent a message to the capital, but there has been no news since, and he has no idea what happened.
