Chapter 178 What Did I Do Wrong?
Guessed it.
When the Yuan family was convicted, the entire clan was trapped in one place and heavily guarded.
It is almost impossible for an ordinary servant to smuggle the Yuan family bloodline out without being noticed, unless there is someone helping behind the scenes.
At present, it seems that Princess Changle is the only one in the royal family who knows the life experience of Qian's grandson.
But she knew the truth of the matter very well, but never revealed it for so many years. The truth behind the matter is about to be revealed.
That's why Duan Dao made a solemn promise before leaving that day.
The man didn't say these words out loud, but his expression said it all.
Bai Xiaofeng hummed softly, and the wine in the shaking wine jar slowly overflowed, filling the air with a faint aroma of wine.
"If she needed your help, she wouldn't have chased you away that day. Furthermore, if you truly wanted to go to Changjing to rescue her, I'll assume you succeeded. But what then? How will you accommodate her? Bring this pampered princess back to that earthen hut in exile, where she'll live a simple life, eating plain meals and wearing a straw hat and a cloth skirt like you? Most importantly, have you ever considered whether she's willing to leave Changjing? Princess Changle had the guts to secretly send you out of the city without telling the royal family. She should have considered the consequences, but she still chose to stay. Why? How do you know she doesn't have her own things to do?"
Broken Blade remained silent.
He had thought about all of this.
But he also knew that it was much more difficult for a weak woman to fight her way out of the vortex of imperial power than for a man.
The price paid will also be greater.
In the current situation, given Emperor Hongde's narrow-minded, suspicious nature, Changle may not be able to survive in his hands.
Any other prerequisites and conditions must be met first.
When life is gone, everything is empty.
"Tsk, another one as stubborn as a cow." Bai Xiaofeng curled his lips, wanting to roll his eyes inelegantly like Du Buqin. "She's been imprisoned in the imperial palace's water dungeon. The palace is as deep as the sea and filled with experts. How can you save her alone? Do you really think your martial arts skills are invincible?"
Broken Blade's heart moved, "Do you know the exact news about her?"
"Don't underestimate Princess Changle. She's not as simple as you think. Since we're both from exile, I'd like to kindly advise you to do nothing. She won't die. On the contrary, your return to the capital might be what she least wants to see. If you do that, you're not repaying a favor, you're seeking revenge."
"..." Duan Dao was silent for a moment before he burst into laughter.
This guy's mouth is just as good as the old man's.
"Master Bailou, I would like to offer you a toast."
"It's a jar."
Seeing that the other party called himself Yuan, Bai Xiaofeng reluctantly raised the jar of wine and clinked it with him, then took another sip of the liquor.
"Please help me, Lord Bai."
"Pfft!"
Bai Xiaofeng stood up and wanted to jump down, but the man grabbed a piece of his clothes and couldn't move.
"Broken Knife! I'm warning you not to push your luck!" Bai Xiaofeng was furious. He'd been careless. He should have been wary when this bastard suddenly toasted him! Otherwise, he should have left immediately when the other party called himself Yuan!
As expected, those who show kindness to others for no reason are either traitors or thieves!
The man who held onto his clothes firmly, not moving, stared at him from bottom to top with deep eyes, and said with a hint of helplessness in his voice, "Why are you reacting so strongly? I just asked you to help me change my face."
“…” This means that you still want to insist on returning to Changjing.
"I won't act rashly."
"Hmph, you're obsessed with sex."
“…”Unfair.
On the other side, Du Buqin and Da Huzi had a good fight. After the fight, they got a few jars of wine from somewhere and drank them together as if they were competing with each other.
In the end, they both fell drunk in the corner.
The old man lay on the ground, basking in the moonlight, his face flushed with the smell of alcohol. "There are three, hiccups, forces in the Exile Land. Old Bai Kui... values reputation, Bai Xiaofeng values elegance, and you, Big Beard, value wealth... I see, those things like fame, appearance, and money are all vulgar things. What's there to care about? It's better to be like me, free and unrestrained! Free and easy! Hahahaha! You're all, you're all vulgar, vulgar! Insufferable!"
"Don't compare me to you." The bearded man was lying next to him. After being drunk, his words were less aggressive than usual and more normal. "You guys used to be human, but now you're not human anymore. Humph! You've all changed!"
He had accumulated a lot of frustration over the past few days, and now that he had an outlet to vent, the bearded man chattered non-stop.
"Look at you all now, noble and dignified! Clean and honest people in a turbid world! Only I am a complete villain!
But we're in the exile zone, a place where the weak are the prey of the strong and the weak are the victims of violence! I'm following the rules of the exile zone! You're all fucking screwed!
Besides those who were exiled, those who fled to the exile area were either seeking refuge from the world or avoiding disaster. In either case, didn't they all want to live? I, Big Beard, have fought my way to where I am today solely with my own fists. Why should I give in to others just because they're weaker? If you want to survive here, you have to become stronger! If you're strong enough to step on my head, I'll give you my all! No? Then just lie down! This is the way the world works!
What did I do wrong? Huh? You tell me, Du Buqin! Tell me, what did I do wrong?
You bunch of… dogs, bitches! Why do you look down on me? Why do you curse me behind my back? You’re only capable of cursing me behind my back… snore, snore…”
There was a deafening snoring sound in my ears.
Du Buwei was lying down with his head tilted to one side. The person who was cursing just now had fallen asleep with his mouth open.
"The dog falls asleep as soon as he says he will. His alcohol tolerance is not as good as that of the old man... Burp! Snore... Snore..."
The moonlight was still gentle and bright, and snoring could be heard from a corner in the backyard of the inn.
After a long time, two figures fell from above, each with a wooden face, and carried one person back to the room.
The bright moon hanging in the night sky gradually sank and disappeared.
Dawn is approaching, and the entire sky falls into a brief darkness before dawn.
A group of dark shadows approached silently and surrounded the backyard of the inn.
He was wearing night clothes and a black scarf covering his face, with only his eyes exposed, flickering faintly in the darkness.
The enclosed backyard was pitch black, without a trace of light.
Listening carefully, one could only hear some snoring coming from the room, proving that the person in the room was sleeping soundly.
The man in black did not move immediately, but lay motionless in the distance until a streak of gray appeared in the sky.
A gesture.
The black shadow broke into the room swiftly and attacked the bed directly, ruthlessly and decisively.
"Hehehe, there are more than twenty people here this time, how come it's still not enough?" The old man's strange laughter suddenly sounded outside, startling the man in black in the room.
At the same time, the sound of arrows breaking through the air was heard in the room.
The room was rigged with traps. Anyone who was slow to react would be pricked like a hedgehog, and any fish that escaped would jump out of the window.
Ambushed again.
Suddenly, several fishing nets appeared outside the window, catching the people who rushed out like fish in a net.
