The old man chuckled when he heard this, "Of course I let you go on purpose."
"Just me?"
Xiang Sheng frowned, "This is inappropriate."
"oh?"
The old man raised his eyebrows, "What does Miss Tuo want to do?"
"Your Excellency also knows that after I infiltrated Silou, I had to gain their trust as quickly as possible. The more natural my background, the better."
Xiang Sheng pretended to think for a moment, then said, "My Lord, you can create chaos and deliberately release more slaves. This will give you a lot of room for maneuver.
As for how to create chaos, adults also need to arrange the cause and effect, and not create chaos for no reason.
Your business is so big, you must have many business enemies, so you can start from this aspect."
The old man in the gorgeous robe listened calmly, and the more he listened, the more frightened he became.
This girl is so young, but she has such a meticulous mind. No wonder she was given a name by His Highness himself.
If she can achieve merit in Silou this time, her future will be limitless...
As he thought about it, his attitude became more amiable, and he nodded, saying, "I understand what Miss Tuo said.
But it's not easy to provoke a merchant enemy. I still need a few days to prepare, so please be patient, young lady."
Xiang Sheng nodded slightly to show that he understood.
Over the next few days, the old man used some tricks and quickly annoyed his opponent.
The next night, Lan Xiu was awakened by an explosion, and then she heard someone outside shouting:
"Enemy attack! Enemy attack! Everyone, go and support!"
Seeing the guards leave, Lan Xiu immediately knew that her opportunity had come.
She walked quickly to the cell door, calmed down and activated the weak demonic power in her body. With a "bang", she broke the lock with a palm, then pulled up the half-asleep Xiang Sheng and ran away!
After the two men left, the remaining slaves in the cell saw the open door and fled without saying a word.
After leaving the slave prison, Lan Xiu could hear the shouting and screaming at night. Her heart was pounding, and she simply carried Xiang Sheng on her back and ran faster.
She cleverly used blind spots to avoid the eyes and ears of several demons, and walked to a more and more secluded place until she reached the back door. She looked at the barrier of the formation covering the courtyard wall and frowned.
It was obvious at first glance that this formation was not an ordinary one, and she was afraid that she would not be able to break it.
But at this moment, a stream of demonic power came out of nowhere, and with a loud bang, the barrier of the formation shattered instantly!
At the same time, there was also a distant roar, "Sui Yan, you are going too far!"
Lan Xiu was overjoyed. She immediately opened the back door and fled into the city streets under the cover of night, soon disappearing.
An old man in a gorgeous robe stood on a tall building, watching from afar. A weasel demon beside him whispered:
"Master, they've gone far away."
The old man narrowed his eyes and said, "Wait a moment to close the net."
The wolf demon hesitated, "The one who escaped with Miss Tuo..."
"No need to chase."
The old man shook his head and said, "As long as Miss Tuo is not exposed, it doesn't matter if one more person is released. As for the others, capture them all."
"yes."
…
The slave shops to the west of Shuangwang City are connected one after another.
Lan Xiu carried Xiang Sheng on her back and fled desperately, not daring to stop for a moment, until she crossed a long path and left the west of the city, and then she breathed a sigh of relief.
She looked at the dawning sky, her face exhausted, but her eyes revealed a sense of relief.
"It's daybreak."
Lan Xiu took a deep breath, turned around and smiled at Xiang Sheng, "The hardest days are over, Yue'er, I'll take you to Silou."
Xiang Sheng nodded and let Lan Xiu pull him away.
A moment later, the two entered Dongcheng District.
Xiang Sheng clearly felt the difference. The defense of the East City District was much stricter than that of the West City District, and city guards in demon armor could be seen patrolling everywhere.
Xiang Sheng and his companion were in a miserable state and were soon stopped and questioned by a team of demon king soldiers.
"You two, tell me your names and what brings you here?"
Lan Xiu looked calm as she took off the hairpin from Xiang Sheng's head and handed it to him. "I am Princess Yue Jiao's personal maid, Lan Xiu. We were separated from her in a disaster and have just escaped back today."
"Was it the sneak attack a month ago?"
Yao Wangjun's expression changed immediately. After checking the hairpin, he quickly bowed and said, "Miss Lan, you are frightened. I will escort you to Silou right away."
"Thank you."
Lan Xiu agreed, and looking down at Xiang Sheng's surprised face, she couldn't help but smile, "It's been a while since I've been able to talk to you much along the way. I'll tell you in detail later."
A moment later, the Demon King's army brought Lan Xiu and Xiang Sheng to a manor that almost occupied half the size of East City. At a back door, they reported Lan Xiu's matter.
Not long after, there was a sound of hurried footsteps.
"Lan Xiu!"
Hearing this familiar shout, Lan Xiu trembled. Seeing Princess Yuejiao in white clothes coming over in person, her eyes instantly turned red.
"Your Highness!"
