Chapter 275 Leaving Fenglan City



Lu Yanluo's expression remained unchanged. She pretended to know nothing and was waiting for an opportunity to escape.

"I really don't know what you two said. I have just told General Lu everything I know. If you don't believe me, you can go find General Lu to verify it. Now I need to send a letter to Aleshilan who is far away in Tianji and tell him what General Lu meant. The most urgent thing is to find the third prince immediately."

The eldest prince and the second prince looked at each other, their eyes full of suspicion. They didn't need to go to Lu Chenghong for confirmation. When Lu Yanluo was in the general's mansion just now, the two of them were listening behind the screen.

But for some reason, the petite man in front of them gave them a very dangerous feeling, which made them alert. However, they had to release Lu Yanluo temporarily. They needed Lu Yanluo to help them lead Alesilan to Fenglan City.

Alesilan is their only clue to finding the third prince.

The eldest prince suddenly smiled at Lu Yanluo, and the tense situation eased instantly.

"Little brother, don't get me wrong. We were too worried about our third brother and offended you. Now the situation is unsettled and our third brother is outside. As his elder brothers, we are really worried."

Lu Yanluo pretended to be surprised, then suddenly realized, "So you two are the eldest and second princes! Please forgive me for my poor eyesight and my failure to recognize you. I am so rude."

"It's okay. You traveled thousands of miles to Fenglan City to deliver a letter for my third brother. You are a benefactor of our royal family. There is no need to be polite, little brother."

After some back and forth and some false affection, Lu Yanluo respectfully sent the two people away.

Before leaving, the eldest prince and the second prince did not forget to remind Lu Yanluo to let Alesilan come to Fenglan City as soon as possible.

In order to trick the two into leaving, Lu Yanluo naturally agreed.

Lu Yanluo was somewhat caught off guard when her destination was discovered. After the eldest prince and the second prince left, Lu Yanluo took advantage of the night and left the inn.

Fenglan City is no longer safe. Although Lu Chenghong seems to be very caring towards the Third Prince, he actually wants to get the imperial seal in the Third Prince's hand.

There were also the eldest prince and the second prince who were eyeing the country covetously. They did not leave Fengxi Kingdom at all, but also came to Fenglan City.

Lu Yanluo didn't believe that Lu Chenghong, the leader of the royal army, would be unaware of the existence of the two princes. Moreover, when she asked the two of them to confirm with Lu Chenghong just now, the two of them remained calm and had no intention of confirming at all. It seemed that they must have already colluded with Lu Chenghong and reached some kind of consensus.

At night, it was pitch black outside. Lu Yanluo took advantage of the night to walk in the streets of Fenglan City. She had to walk unnoticed by anyone and wait for an opportunity to leave the city.

When she just left the inn, she clearly felt that someone was following her secretly. If she couldn't leave smoothly tonight, everyone would know that she had escaped at dawn tomorrow morning, and it would be difficult for her to leave again.

She arrived at the city gate quietly. At this moment, the gate was closed and there were soldiers guarding the gate outside. Lu Yanluo frowned unconsciously.

"Princess." Shen He appeared silently behind Lu Yanluo, suddenly stretched out his hand, led her into a dark alley, took something out of his arms and handed it to Lu Yanluo.

"Excuse me, but now is not a good time to leave the city. Here is the human skin mask I prepared in advance. Princess, put it on first. When it's dawn tomorrow, you and I will disguise yourself as night-drinkers and leave the city. At that time, the soldiers will definitely not pay too much attention to a night-drinker."

Lu Yanluo secretly cheered. Chu Xuan's decision to let Shen He secretly accompany her to Fenglan City was indeed the right one. It really solved her urgent problem.

There were less than two hours left before dawn. Shen He took Lu Yanluo to a farmhouse to rest for a while, then disguised himself and set off pushing the night-scented carriage.

The smell of the carriage was really unpleasant tonight. Shen He looked a little uncomfortable. It was fine for servants like them, but Lu Yanluo was a girl, and a princess, and now she was suffering like this. He couldn't help but say apologetically: "It's a situation that forces us to do this. I'm sorry to have wronged you, but please bear with it for now..."

Lu Yanluo glanced sideways and smiled indifferently: "It's nothing, don't worry about it. If it weren't for your method, I really don't know how I could leave safely in this situation where I was surrounded by enemies. A mere night fragrance is nothing."

The two of them headed straight for the city gate. Shen He's guess turned out to be correct. This was the time when people were most sleepy. The officers and soldiers guarding the city were so sleepy that they could hardly open their eyes. When they saw that it was Ye Xiang who came, they immediately pinched their noses and walked away.

While dodging, he quickly waved his hands to drive them away: "Open the door, open the door! Let them through quickly, they stink!"

The city gate slowly opened. Lu Yanluo lowered her head and followed the night fragrance carriage step by step. Finally, she left Fenglan City safely.

After leaving the city, the two found a place to get rid of the night fragrance carriage. Shen He raised his hand and whistled, and a carriage immediately appeared in the darkness.

"Hurry up!" Shen He sent Lu Yanluo to the carriage he had prepared in advance, turned the horse's head and galloped away. They wanted to meet up with Chu Xuan as soon as possible.

Chu Xuan and Alesilan were waiting in Majia Village, only ten miles away from Fenglan City.

Ever since Lu Yanluo set out for Fenglan City, Chu Xuan was worried at first, fearing that something might happen to Lu Yanluo. Then Alesilan couldn't wait any longer and begged Chu Xuan to secretly send him to Fenglan City.

In the end, in order to avoid causing trouble for Lu Yanluo, the two of them chose a compromise, which was to first station in Majia Village, not far from Fenglan City. Whenever something happened to Lu Yanluo in Fenglan City, they could rush to support her as soon as possible.

On the first day they arrived in Majia Village, Chu Xuan informed Shen He of their destination, so Shen He went straight to Majia Village without stopping.

Chu Xuan, who was originally sleeping soundly, seemed to sense something and suddenly woke up from his sleep. Suddenly, he heard a series of unclear horse hoof sounds in his ears.

Chu Xuan immediately pushed the door open and went out to check the situation, but he saw Lu Yanluo getting off the carriage.

"Chu Xuan?" Lu Yanluo was extremely surprised. Why was he here?

Seeing this, Chu Xuan quickly walked to Lu Yanluo's side, looked her up and down, and then hugged her tightly in his arms.

The heart that had been hanging in the air since Lu Yanluo left finally settled down, and he could finally sleep peacefully.

"I've been waiting for you here for a long time, Luo. You always come back safe and sound."

Lu Yanluo opened her eyes wide as Chu Xuan held her in his arms. Then a smile gradually appeared on her brows. Lu Yanluo raised her hands and hugged Chu Xuan back, then relaxed her body.

"I'm back, everything is fine."

The morning light is dim in the distance, the sun is rising slowly, and a new day has arrived.

Chu Xuan and Lu Yanluo hugged each other tightly, like a perfect match.
