Chapter 341: Dead End
Dusk is falling and the lights are coming on.
The capital city was in a state of panic today. Martial law was imposed in the city as early as the afternoon and remained silent until nightfall.
There were only teams of soldiers with long swords on their waists, searching everywhere in the night with sharp eyes, over and over again, in a cycle.
Everyone in the capital was frightened by this scene and fell silent, no one dared to leave the house!
In such a gloomy night, in a quiet alley, a team just passed by on patrol.
At this moment, a dark shadow suddenly emerged from the pile of straw and weeds.
He was dressed in tattered clothes, with many wounds on his body oozing blood. His hair was covered with straw and dirt, and his face was so dirty that his features could barely be seen. He looked as miserable as a beggar.
The old Jade King's expression was so full of hatred that he could almost bite his teeth to pieces. He stared fiercely at the search team that had just passed by, and said with a ferocious and hateful look on his face, "Ningcuo!"
He knew without thinking that they could just seal off the capital and have people search the entire imperial city inch by inch to dig him out, and there was no other way but to find this thief.
When he thought of this person, he wished he could eat his flesh raw.
Originally, he returned with the army, but it was Ning Cuo, that bastard, who forged a letter from his daughter Yu'er and tricked him into entering the capital first.
But as soon as he entered the capital, he realized that he had been tricked.
His son had died long ago, the letter was completely fake, and even his brother, the current emperor, had been killed by him.
The old Jade Prince was filled with hatred, but no matter how angry and resentful he was, he dared not show his head at all, because the whole city was under martial law, and in addition to these search teams that could be seen everywhere, there were also the evil ghosts from the East Factory who were biting him.
These people are all born in the Year of the Dog. If he dares to show any trace now, he will definitely not have the same good luck as he had today on the long street.
At this moment, he was alone and seriously injured. He had not had any food or water for a day. Now his injuries were aggravated, he was thirsty and hungry, and his body and mind were extremely exhausted.
If he continues like this, I'm afraid he won't be able to hold on for long even if Ning Cuo's people don't find him!
The hateful Ning Zei and his cruel mistress actually pushed him to this point!
The old Jade King gritted his teeth, blood foamed in his mouth, and then he raised his eyes, which were as ferocious as a tiger.
He had some backup plans in his early years. Although he was not in the capital, he had secretly gathered a few good merchants. Now he can only hide for a few days. When his army arrives, everything will be solved!
The old Jade Prince made a decision and quickly headed towards a magnificent mansion under the night sky. He first climbed over the wall and entered the courtyard, avoiding the servants in the mansion, and then knocked on the other party's bedroom door.
The door was quickly opened, but he did not expect to see the people he had secretly gathered as his trusted aides, but several Dongchang men who had been waiting there for a long time, wearing black clothes and blood-red lotuses on their shoulders.
The other party saw him and grinned coldly, "It's no wonder that the Governor kept these people alive for so long. They're going to be used today!"
As soon as the old Jade King saw their figures, his face changed drastically with shock. He turned around and fled away quickly. Unfortunately, no matter how fast he ran, it was obviously too late at this moment!
A huge blood lotus firework had exploded in the sky above him, and people from all directions in the night were all coming towards him at the same time.
