Bai Er and the others had finished adjusting when the bugle call sounded outside.
Lu Zheng moved even faster: "Hurry!"
Bai Er and his group followed. They were assassins by trade and were skilled at killing. They picked up the weapons of the fallen enemy and began their operation.
The five men broke out of the cell and left the prison area.
The area was surrounded by patrols.
Lu Zheng and the others stood back to back, whispering, "Do you still remember the escape route we discussed before?"
Bai Er and the others nodded in agreement.
Lu Zheng continued, "We'll follow that route for a while. Once we reach the Daxi Sandy Land, we'll head west and keep going. They'll definitely think we're heading south to the Flowing Sand Kingdom or east to Goz. We'll head west to meet up with Xue Qianyu."
Bai Er and the others nodded again.
Lu Zheng: "Brothers, let's do it! All of you, get back alive!"
Bai Er and the others: "Great!"
And so, the five of them began their challenge.
Fortunately, they had lived in the capital for a long time and were very familiar with everything there. They would reunite on the same route after being separated for a maximum of 15 minutes.
The group circled around the royal city and escaped in several different directions.
After they escaped, King Yunhai and Ajir, who were holding a meeting in the palace, received the news.
Agil asked in shock, "Who saved them?"
The messenger was unaware that Lu Zheng had never shown his face from beginning to end, always dressed in black and with his face covered.
Agil sent someone back to check if Lu Zheng was still there, and then personally led his troops to chase after him.
Lu Zheng and his men simply seized the enemy's horse at the city gate and disappeared on horseback.
Because they didn't escape from the same direction, the pursuers on Yunhai's side were also scattered.
...
In the Kingdom of Quicksand, Ali was pecking at the window of the King of Quicksand. The King of Quicksand, who was already asleep, heard the noise and quickly got up to open the window.
Ali nuzzled the head of the Lord of the Flowing Sand Kingdom and then lifted her foot.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom opened the mailbox and took out a letter. It was Lu Zheng's handwriting, written in the language of the Great Zhou Dynasty. His identity had been exposed, and he was heading west to meet up with Xue Er.
The ruler of the Flowing Sand Kingdom turned around and dressed, then sent someone to wake Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin.
"Father, what happened?" The brother and sister seemed to be in good spirits; they planned to set off in two days.
"Ah Yuan and the others' identities have been exposed. Ah Hai, Xin Xin, immediately give the order to head to Yunhai!" said the Lord of Liusha Kingdom.
“Okay!” Gu Xin nodded. “Father, you should also write to Gorz, Salin, and Brother Xue. Let’s act together.”
"Yes, I understand. Give the orders quickly. There's no need to worry about the capital city with me here. I'll prepare the provisions," the King of Liusha nodded.
Gu Xin and Cheng Huaijin withdrew.
Gu Hui, Jinghe Princess He San Niang, and others also got up.
That day, the Quicksand army set off northward. The next day at dawn, Gorz, Shalin, and Xue Qianyu also received the news and set off towards the Cloud Sea almost simultaneously.
Agil led his troops in pursuit all night but failed to catch Bai Er and his men, which infuriated him.
She couldn't go far, so she had to send her men to continue the pursuit while she returned to the capital.
As a result, when she returned, she heard news that angered her: the man she trusted, the man she had entrusted the entire princess's residence to, turned out to be the least trustworthy.
She was furious. She couldn't believe that anyone in the world was as immune to all poisons as she was. She was sure that person already knew what the poison on her dagger was and had prepared the antidote beforehand, and was deliberately putting on a show for her.
There must be more spies within the mansion, there definitely are!
