The footsteps outside were getting closer and closer. Going out directly would be tantamount to walking into a trap. After careful consideration, Chu Xuan dodged and hid in an empty cell.
After the soldier entered the room, he glanced around casually and did not notice any changes in the cell. Instead, he walked straight to the cell of Ahanlsa and others.
Everyone followed him into the prison, and the defense outside was a little lax. When the soldiers were not paying attention, Chu Xuan quietly left the prison. Then with a whistle, Shen He, who had been waiting in the dark for a long time, descended from the sky with his men and caught all the guards present off guard.
After reuniting with Chu Xuan, Shen He was unwilling to fight. He took out the simple bomb that Lu Yanluo had prepared in advance and threw it at the guards.
With a bang, the bomb exploded, sending the guards into a panic. Chu Xuan and others took advantage of the chaos to leave.
When the soldiers in the dungeon came out, there was no human figure to be seen.
After coming out of the prison, Chu Xuan and others hid on the spot and hid in a house around the government office.
At the same time, Lu Yanluo also entered Fenglan City.
At the gate of Fenglan City.
As Lu Yanluo entered the city, she saw a group of people and horses galloping out of the city and suddenly stopped at the city gate.
Lu Yanluo's heart tightened, and she quietly hid herself among the passers-by.
"Seal the city gates immediately! No outsiders are allowed to leave the city!"
Following the order, the city gates slammed shut, and the people inside and outside the city were all shocked, whispering, "What's going on? Why aren't they letting us go?"
The soldier stopped them impatiently, "What are you talking about! A spy from another country has escaped from the prison. He is from Tianji. If anyone sees him, report him to the police immediately!"
Lu Yanluo's heart skipped a beat. Someone from Tianji? It was Chu Xuan!
The city gate was heavily guarded, and the people saw no hope of getting out, so they left one after another. Lu Yanluo took this opportunity to blend into the crowd and leave the city gate.
Walking all the way into the hidden alley, Lu Yanluo slowly exhaled, her tense heart pounding in her chest. She was worried that something had happened to Chu Xuan.
"Princess." Just as Lu Yanluo was about to leave, a call suddenly came from deep in the alley. She had been walking in a hurry, so she stopped at the entrance of the alley. The person who spoke was hiding in a shadow deep in the alley, just concealing his figure.
Lu Yanluo looked towards the place where the sound came from with caution: "Who is it?"
After a while, a man in black walked out from the end of the alley slowly, came to Lu Yanluo and bowed, "Your subordinate greets the princess."
It's a secret guard.
"Don't panic, Princess. I have been on guard at the city gate. I just saw you in the crowd and came here to see if you are looking for the prince."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yanluo hurriedly asked, "Where is the prince now? Is he safe? Is the person the soldiers at the city gate want to arrest the prince?"
The secret guard looked around and when he saw that there was no one around, he whispered, "Princess, you are right. It is the prince. When we first arrived in Fenglan with the prince, an accident happened. The prince was caught by the government, but fortunately he has escaped now and is hiding in a house outside the government. Princess, please follow me!"
Lu Yanluo couldn't wait a moment longer and quickly followed the secret guard towards the house where Chu Xuan was staying.
Arriving at the mansion, Lu Yanluo couldn't help but admire Chu Xuan's intelligence. The city gate was heavily guarded, but the area around the government office was completely quiet. Is this what they call the darkest place under the lamp?
[This old fox is so handsome and smart! ]
Chu Xuan, who was drinking tea in the study, paused and looked outside the door in disbelief. Almost at the same time, the door of the study was pushed open from the outside, and a ragged, dusty man appeared in front of him.
"A Luo?" Chu Xuan was extremely surprised. He quickly stood up and walked over to bring her into the room. He looked her up and down and asked in a serious tone, "What's wrong? What happened? Are you injured?"
Lu Yanluo looked at her outfit quietly, her face full of black lines.
[Can't you tell I'm still in disguise? Brother, you're too worried. It makes me feel a little embarrassed...]
Chu Xuan paused, and Lu Yanluo smiled and took Chu Xuan's hand and said affectionately: "I'm fine, I dressed up just to get in, it's okay."
"Who asked you to come? Do you know how dangerous it is?" Chu Xuan's face changed and he shook off Lu Yanluo's hand angrily.
The study suddenly became quiet. Shen He, who had been waiting to discuss something with Chu Xuan, saw this and quickly retreated tactfully, not forgetting to considerately close the door for the two of them.
In fact, Chu Xuan regretted what he said just now. How could he speak so harshly to A'Luo? Moreover, she came here despite the danger just because she was worried about his safety.
"A Luo..." Chu Xuan's expression suddenly became embarrassed, and he seemed a little at a loss.
"Then what should we do?" Lu Yanluo interrupted Chu Xuan, looked at him steadily, and said, "I'm here now, what's the matter? Is the prince going to punish me?"
Chu Xuan laughed, pulled her into his arms, lowered his head and kissed her forehead, and said softly: "A Luo, you know that's not what I meant. Okay, okay, I just said something to you, look at your face, it's my fault, I didn't know what was good for me, and let the princess down. I apologize to you, and the princess will forgive me."
Lu Yanluo was still a little annoyed. She had gone through so much trouble to get into Fenglan, and she was worried to death when she heard that he was being hunted by the whole city. But she was scolded by him as soon as they met.
"I dare not get angry with the prince." Lu Yanluo said with a cold face and turned away without looking at Chu Xuan.
Chu Xuan had a headache: "Okay, what's the point of being afraid? No matter when, I have to obey the princess' orders. I was wrong. If you are still angry, why not hit me a few times to vent your anger?"
Lu Yanluo snorted lightly, glanced at Chu Xuan slightly, and walked to the side and sat down: "Who hit you? I'm tired."
Chu Xuanqing laughed, followed and sat down, and asked: "Is the road safe? The city gate is under martial law, how did you get in?"
When it came to business, Lu Yanluo put away her little girl's coquettishness and said seriously, "I was fine on the way. Something happened to Aleshilan. He fell into the water and almost died. I left him at a farm to recuperate and came to Fenglan to look for you. I happened to enter the city and caught up with the martial law at the city gate. I blended in with the people and was not discovered by them."
Chu Xuan nodded upon hearing this and told the story of what happened after he entered Fenglan.
The more Lu Yanluo listened, the more frightened she became: "You mean, Lu Chenghong is not only in cahoots with the first and second princes, but he's also involved with Duoze?"
Chu Xuan took out the secret report given to him by Ahan Ersa and said in a deep voice: "This person must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise Feng Lan will be captured by Duoze sooner or later."
"Since we have evidence in our hands, let's make it public. What else can Lu Chenghong say when he sees it?"
Chu Xuan shook his head: "No, Lu Chenghong is now Feng Lan's backbone. If we expose him rashly, it will not only not pose any threat to him, but will be counterproductive."
Lu Yanluo frowned: "What should we do then?"
Yes, what should we do? This requires long-term consideration.
