"Sir, we found a group of people guarding several boxes of things, heading towards the imperial city through the underground passage of Panyang Temple in Xicheng."
Han Xiangxu's expression turned cold. He was 100% sure that Wan Qianqian must be among that team.
Thinking of this, Han Xiangxu immediately put down the bowl and disappeared from everyone's sight as quickly as a ghost.
"Mom, I'll go and lend a hand to my second brother."
After saying that, Han Shijun immediately flew away, leaving Han Xinyu's four brothers retching beside him.
[Hehehe, Yu'er is smelly. Yu'er wants to rub against big brother and make him smelly too.]
Han Xiangwen: Can you please throw this brat out now? I can’t stand it at all.
"Second brother, the leader is actually a monk from Panyang Temple. It seems that the royal family has a close relationship with Panyang Temple."
Han Xiang continued to watch the group of people slowly moving forward along the underground passage of Panyang Temple in front of him. Suddenly, it seemed that he remembered that in recent years, because the abbot of Panyang Temple was kind and willing to use the incense money in the temple to add a lot of rice porridge and vegetarian food to help the poor people.
Therefore, many poor families sent their young children and girls to Panyang Temple to chant scriptures, just to ask for food for their children.
However, according to the previous report from the secret guards, there are many children entering the temple every day, but the number of children coming out does not match the number of children entering at all.
Originally, he thought that those children were reluctant to leave the temple and were seeking long-term food and clothing, so they planned to follow the abbot to become monks, and they had become disillusioned with the world at a young age.
But now, seeing that the abbot has close relations with the royal family, and Ruan Changtian has recently believed the words of the evil Taoist and sought the elixir of immortality.
This made it difficult for Han Xiangxu not to suspect that the old emperor had kidnapped these children to do something dirty.
Without giving it much thought, seeing that the team in front was gradually approaching the imperial city, Han Xiangxu and Han Shiyu looked at each other and attacked in tacit understanding.
At this time, no one noticed that the three or two people at the end of the team had their mouths covered, their necks wiped, and they were dragged into the dark.
At this moment, the originally orderly team became chaotic.
"Oh no, there's an ambush."
A group of people tightly protected the ten tightly locked iron cages in the middle. The leading guard stared at the dark tunnel around them and entered a state of full alert.
At this moment, groups of black crows suddenly flew out of the tunnel and pounced towards everyone like crazy.
"Oh no, this must be the man-eating crow summoned by this witch."
The great wizard at the side didn't care about anything else and quickly took out the bone flute in his arms and started playing it.
All of a sudden, the densely packed crows seemed to have heard some terrifying command and fled quickly to the rear.
Wan Qianqian, who had just woken up, felt a splitting headache and struggled and rolled around in the cage.
"Sissi was in the third cage. I saw her struggling inside the cage."
Han Xiangxu gritted his teeth, wishing he could kill all the people in front of him, but the old emperor was really cunning, and the people escorting around the ten cages were all assassins with extremely high martial arts skills.
Therefore, time was tight and they could not afford to be careless. Han Xiang continued to use the blood of the two previous people to lure out the crows, just to determine Wan Qianqian's specific location and ensure that everything was safe.
Suddenly, everyone felt that the tunnel seemed to be vibrating violently, and a cloud of yellow dust fell. At this time, two or three figures sneaked into the team unknowingly.
"who"!
The assassins noticed some unusual movements around them, but the dust in the air made their vision in the already dimly lit underground passage even more blurry.
The great witch kicked away the old abbot who was lying on him and trembling with fear with a look of disgust, and then vigilantly asked everyone to pay attention to the movements around them.
Finally, after about half a minute, the vibration eased a little, and the old abbot was lying on the ground screaming.
The Great Wizard stepped forward and opened the third cage. He saw Wan Qianqian was still inside and there was nothing wrong with the cloth covering her mouth. He felt relieved.
"It's okay. Maybe it's because of the severe mud and waterlogging in recent days. Some places have collapsed. The imperial city is ten miles ahead. Everyone should be careful and cautious."
Hearing the words of the great wizard, everyone nodded, their eyes full of respect, and accepted the order in unison.
"yes".
"Great wizard, you see, I have been sent here. I will not go to the imperial city for fear of causing unnecessary trouble to Your Majesty."
The old host stuck close to the witch, smiling flatteringly.
The Great Witch was a little impatient and signaled him to leave quickly if he wanted to. Why was he still talking so much here and being an eyesore?
"I feel that after walking more than ten or twenty miles from the temple, there might be some wild monsters on the road. By then, I, with my old bones, can hardly walk properly, so how can I escape?"
It was obvious that this old man who was ignorant of the danger was asking him for someone. The great witch frowned and did not respond.
But the old abbot still insisted, "You and I are both serving His Majesty and have heavy responsibilities. If anything happens to me, I'm afraid it will be difficult to explain to the temple."
The old man in front of him implied that he knew the royal secrets and the emperor trusted him. If something happened to him, the emperor would not be able to arrange for a suitable candidate to work in Panyang Temple as smoothly as before.
Helplessly, the great witch picked out four or five death warriors from the team with a cold face and sent the old abbot back to Panyang Temple.
The three people in the dark saw this scene and confirmed their guess.
Han Xiangxu held the weak Wan Qianqian and quickly left the dim tunnel.
After returning from the Han family's dark room, the three of them arrived at the dark chamber.
Looking at Wan Qianqian, who was covered in scars and had almost no intact skin, everyone felt a little depressed.
He was such an energetic man when he left the Prime Minister's Mansion a few days ago, but now his face is pale and covered in blood.
Now seeing so many familiar faces, the originally frightened Wan Qianqian finally closed her eyes and fainted.
"Xu'er, don't worry. With the treatment of Doctor Luo Shen, the Saint will be fine."
Su Liluo couldn't help but have red eyes, and gently patted Han Xiangxu's hand to comfort him.
[That old emperor is such a scoundrel. He actually injured the Saint Sister so badly. Ahhhh, I'm going to bite them to death.]
Han Xinyu was so furious thinking that her beautiful and kind saint sister was beaten half to death by those people.
Han Xiangwen gently touched Han Xinyu's back and smoothed her hair.
"Mom and Dad, today when my second brother and I went to rescue the Saint Girl, we saw that the Great Witch and the abbot of Panyang Temple were secretly following the emperor's orders and doing some shady things. And the abbot was the most suspicious. He must be a bad guy behind the scenes."
Speaking of Panyang Temple, Su Liluo suddenly remembered that everyone said that the abbot of Panyang Temple was kind and provided porridge and rice to many poor children. Some time ago, she also donated a lot of money to the temple.
