Chapter 1780 Escape
Just as he was about to ask her what she dreamed about, he heard hurried footsteps outside, and then he heard Xiao Shunzi's voice outside the carriage -
"emperor!"
When Zhu Feng heard this, he immediately turned around and said to the car door: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Shunzi stood outside the carriage and said breathlessly, "Your Majesty, a bandit has escaped."
"oh……"
The two people in the car looked at each other.
After a moment's silence, Xiao Shunzi saw the door open and Zhu Feng jumped directly from the carriage. However, he did not run over in a hurry. Instead, he turned around, reached out to hold Nan Yan's hand, and took her down from the carriage.
Nan Yan stepped onto the ground carefully.
Xiao Shunzi immediately stepped forward and saluted: "Your servant greets the Emperor and the Imperial Concubine."
Zhu Feng held Nan Yan's hand with one hand, then turned to Xiao Shunzi and asked, "Where is it?"
"Just ahead."
"Let's go and take a look."
"yes."
So Zhu Feng brought Nan Yan, followed by Xiao Shunzi, to the place where they imprisoned the sand bandits. In fact, it was an open space not far from the carriage. The sand bandits captured last night were sitting here with their hands tied behind their backs.
But at this moment, one of these bandits was missing.
Nan Yan followed Zhu Feng and saw a familiar figure from afar. It was the figure who had followed Zhu Feng to this place last night. It was none other than Fang Buyuan, one of the four commanders of the Jinyiwei.
He stood there, holding something in his hand and thinking about something. When he turned around and saw Zhu Feng coming, he immediately knelt down in front of them.
"Your humble servant greets His Majesty, and Your Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Zhu Feng simply raised his hand and motioned him to stand up.
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"What's going on here?"
"Your Majesty, a bandit escaped under the cover of darkness last night."
"How did he escape? Wasn't he tied up?"
Fang Buyuan frowned and said, "Yes, but he seems to have a sharp weapon on him. They couldn't find it when they searched him last night."
“…”
"He used that sharp weapon to cut the rope and took the opportunity to escape when the patrol guards changed shifts."
As he said this, he presented the thing in his hand.
Zhu Feng took it and found it was several sections of rope. Zhu Feng looked at the broken end and found that it was indeed cut slowly by a sharp weapon.
He looked at the bandits around him who were still in shock, worried that the emperor would be furious and kill them all because someone had escaped. These people knelt on the ground in fear, kowtowed to the emperor and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please spare my life. Your Majesty, please spare my life."
"Your Majesty, please don't kill us!"
"We are willing to abandon the dark side and serve the emperor."
Zhu Feng just looked at them coldly, then said, "Does anyone know the name of the person who escaped last night?"
A bandit hurriedly said, "That man is called Ji Tong, and he is our boss's confidant."
"Ji Tong."
Zhu Feng silently repeated the name, then said, "The boss's confidant is Wu Lun's right-hand man?"
"Exactly. He was originally leading our operation this time with Ah Chai."
“…”
"Now he has escaped, I'm afraid he has already returned."
Zhu Feng listened quietly. After a while, he said calmly, "Okay, I understand."
After saying that, he turned around and walked back.
Xiao Shunzi followed behind him and said with some concern: "Your Majesty, if that Ji Tong escapes, he will definitely spread the news about us to Thermidor."
