Chapter 357 You run and I chase, you can't escape
When what happened in Xiaoye Mountain was heard by Yu Pingjun at the fastest speed, Wei Changtian, who was at the foot of Xiaoye Mountain, was thinking with his head down in the chaos.
It was both unexpected and expected that Chu Xianping failed to find Bai Youheng.
However, Du Chang captured more than thirty dragon guards, while the remaining seventy took advantage of the chaos to escape.
Although the members of the Dragon Guards were instilled with the value of "rather die than rebel" since childhood, they could not resist the night watchmen's torture. Therefore, after the interrogation, Wei Changtian still obtained some key information.
Five people, midnight, north of the city.
This is all the information we have about Bai Youheng’s whereabouts.
Wei Changtian certainly didn't know Bai Youheng's specific plan, but since the latter's actions were so clear, it undoubtedly meant that he had a way to enter the city from the north.
What's in the north? Wei Changtian's brain was working rapidly. He thought for about dozens of breaths, and then he slowly spoke under the gaze of Chu Xianping and Du Chang: "If nothing unexpected happens, Bai Youheng should have entered the city by now."
"Du Chang, take your men to the north of the city and find out how he entered the city."
"Brother Chu, come with me to see Li Qi."
After a pause, Wei Changtian looked up at the huge and majestic Fengyuan City in the night, his tone cold.
"No, I can go see Li Qi myself. Brother Chu, go and notify the night watchmen, the government, and the city guards. Tell them."
"From now on, the city will be closed."
"Queen, are you telling the truth?!"
The candlelight flickers and the sandalwood scent lingers.
The silver-armored general had already pushed the door and left, but Bai Youheng could no longer remain calm.
I arrived in Fengyuan at noon, and less than six hours have passed, but Wei Changtian has already captured the Dragon Guards.
Everything that happened now can only mean one thing -
Wei Changtian already knew that he would come to Fengyuan.
But how is this possible?
I was extremely careful along the way and never noticed anything unusual.
Could it be that the news was leaked from Daning? ! It must be said that Bai Youheng, the son of heaven, was not at all foolish. He guessed the truth in just a few breaths.
But he also knew that now was not the time to think about these things, what was more important was what to do next.
Fengyuan City, where he had lived for twenty years, was now a den of dragons and tigers for him.
The spies left in the city were no longer used, and the dragon guards outside the city were all captured in one fell swoop.
The biggest support for him now was the stunningly beautiful but crazy Queen Dafeng in front of him. "Mr. Bai, I am not interested in joking with you."
Slowly placing the secret letter on the candle and lighting it, Yu Pingjun's face became even more beautiful in the light of the fire.
"What I told you happened half an hour ago. If the people you brought with you don't keep their mouths shut, Wei Changtian might already know where you are."
"Won't."
Hearing what Yu Pingjun said, Bai Youheng immediately frowned and denied: "Only the few people who traveled with me knew that I entered the city through the secret passage. People outside the city were not aware of it."
"Mr. Bai, you think too little of Wei Changtian."
Yu Pingjun had a faint sneer on his face: "You were fooled by him once in the matter of Yan Luo, it is not impossible that you will fall into his hands again this time."
"The Queen."
Being ridiculed by someone who had his scars exposed, Bai Youheng's tone was no longer respectful as it was at the beginning. He immediately narrowed his eyes and threatened: "If I really fall into Wei Changtian's hands, you will definitely not have a good ending."
"I think the Queen should understand this matter."
"Haha, I naturally understand."
Yu Pingjun once again showed that creepy smile: "So please rest assured, my lord, I will make sure you leave Fengyuan City safely."
“.”
There was no answer, no response.
Bai Youheng just looked at Yu Pingjun deeply, and then quickly thought about what he should do next.
There are two purposes for entering the city:
The first is to send a letter to Yu Pingjun, which has been completed.
The second is to take back the Gu Diao, which has not yet been completed.
Now the Gu Diao is still hiding in a small lake dozens of miles away from the imperial palace. Considering that it needs to hide along the way, it will take at least half an hour to catch up.
Moreover, the palace was heavily guarded. Although the Gu Diao could transform into a virtual body, it could still be seen by people, so it would also take a lot of time to sneak in without being noticed.
Therefore, it will take at least another hour.
"Queen, give me a quiet room. No one is allowed to disturb me for an hour."
Thinking of this, Bai Youheng stopped wasting time and immediately put forward his request: "I need to leave the city immediately after one hour!"
"One hour."
Yu Pingjun smiled slightly when he heard this.
"Okay, I'll help you."
"Your Majesty, Young Master Wei requests to see you."
Dafeng Palace, Tianlu Hall.
When the people who were queuing to leave the city were suddenly stopped inside the city, a young eunuch quickly walked to Li Qi who was working late at night and said in a low voice: "Master Wei said he wanted to be conferred a title."
"emperor!"
Before the young eunuch could finish his words, the door of Tianlu Hall was suddenly pushed open.
A figure stepped in immediately afterwards, not caring at all about the unsheathed swords of the guards in the hall.
Strictly speaking, such an action would be considered "trespassing into royal territory" and the person could be killed on the spot.
But since the person coming was Wei Changtian, the imperial guards did not dare to act rashly.
Even Li Qi just smiled bitterly and waved at everyone.
"Everyone, go down."
"yes."
The young eunuch and a dozen guards filed out of the Tianlu Hall, leaving only Li Qi and Wei Changtian.
The latter took two quick steps to the table, bowed slightly, and then went straight to the point:
"Your Majesty, Bai Youheng entered the city from the north tonight and is now in Fengyuan City!"
Bai Youheng.
As the manipulator of Yan Luo, Li Qi had naturally heard of this name before.
So his first reaction after hearing this was——
"Hmm? So Yan Luo is not dead?"
"Your Majesty, Yan Luo's life and death have nothing to do with Bai Youheng."
Wei Changtian explained quickly: "But even if Yan Luo is really not dead, as long as Bai Youheng is killed, the former will never survive."
"Really?"
Li Qi frowned and gently put down his pen: "Where is Bai Youheng now?"
"I still don't know, so I came to ask to see the emperor."
Wei Changtian cupped his hands again: "I hope the emperor can allow me to temporarily seal Fengyuan City for a few days."
“Lock down the city.”
Li Qi was slightly stunned, then smiled and said, "Master Wei, I'm afraid you are acting first and reporting later."
"Well, the situation is urgent. I hope the emperor will forgive me."
With a somewhat awkward dry cough, Wei Changtian quickly changed the subject: "Well, I have something else I want to ask the emperor."
"Ask." Li Qi shook his head helplessly.
"Yes, Your Majesty, may I ask what else there is besides the city walls and gates?"
Wei Changtian pondered for a moment and then slowly asked, "Is there any secret way to enter the city from the north of Fengyuan?"
"this."
After hearing this question, Li Qi was stunned for a moment, and then fell into a long silence.
The expression on his face changed several times, and finally, under Wei Changtian's gaze, he raised his head and shouted in a deep voice: "Someone come!"
"Let General Ding come to see me!"
