Chu Yan and Feng Ling dismounted at the same time, followed by their close subordinates. Mo Feng, Mo Yu, Zhong Wu and Zhong Liu all drew their swords.
Darkness can increase the sense of fear.
Chu Yan said two words and walked into the imperial prison first.
The closer we get, the clearer the smell of blood in the air becomes.
When they got there, they found that the gate of the Imperial Prison was open and several corpses were lying there in extremely strange postures, with miserable deaths and their eyes wide open, as if they had seen something strange.
"Master, be careful."
Mo Feng said anxiously, his heart in his throat.
"The murderer must not be here at this time. He must have escaped and won't wait for us to catch him. Let's go!"
Chu Yan's eyes were extremely cold. He stepped over the corpse and entered the Imperial Prison. Feng Ling and others followed quickly.
A hell on earth.
The Imperial Prison was originally a place where serious criminals were imprisoned. It was located in a remote area but was heavily guarded, not to mention the numerous checkpoints. Even if a serious criminal managed to escape through the first gate, he might not be able to escape through the second gate. But at this moment... the ground was littered with corpses...
One, two, three...
All the First Guards were killed, and each one died a horrible death.
"Is this poisoning?"
Feng Ling spoke in a deep voice. He had a bad feeling in his heart. From the moment he received the tip-off that something had happened in the Imperial Prison, his heart had been heavy.
At this moment, Chu Yan swung out his sword and stabbed it directly at the side of a corpse. He saw a black, bulging insect drilling into the corpse next to it. It was a black... poisonous insect!
No more luck.
Chu Yan and Feng Ling exchanged a glance, their expressions filled with hostility and even a hint of unease.
Gu worm, ghost guy.
It must be him!
"Where is she being held?"
Feng Ling asked in a deep voice.
Chu Yan walked in front, and Feng Ling followed closely behind. The further they walked inside, the more empty roars they could hear, which came from the imprisoned serious criminals.
Bang, bang, someone was shaking the iron gate, making noises furiously and incompetently.
Along the way, there were corpses of guards, and their deaths were all tragic.
Until they reached the last row of cells, they saw the cell doors were open, the iron chains and shackles used to detain people had been cut off, and Qing Yunyao, who was detained there, had disappeared.
All the speculations were confirmed at this moment.
Qing Yunyao was rescued!
If there is anyone who can save him, it is only one person, the ghost.
Chu Yan and Feng Ling were silent for a while. Looking at the empty cell, their hearts sank to the bottom.
"Mo Feng, activate the Moon Shadow Guards and search the entire capital for Qing Yunyao and the ghost man!"
Chu Yan's eyes were cold and he gave the order immediately!
"Zhong Wu, go back and tell Jing Huan to send out the secret guards to pursue these two people with all their might."
Feng Ling gritted his teeth and followed with hatred.
No one knows where these two people are hiding now, but this is definitely a huge time bomb, especially the ghost man. He is a weird person. He fell from such a high cliff with one hand cut off, but he didn't die after all these days and survived. Then he will definitely come back for revenge, and the first person he will probably find is Yue'er.
If these two people cannot be found, Yue'er will be in danger.
Feng Ling and Chu Yan understood this the best.
Yue'er suffered so much pain and grievance tonight. If she knew about this, how would she bear it?
Not long ago, she said that the prerequisite for getting over the pain and forgetting the past is that those who deserved to die paid the price and deserved to die. But now, the ghost man is not dead, and Qing Yunyao has been rescued!
"Why didn't you kill her earlier?"
Feng Ling gritted her teeth and asked in a cold voice.
As long as this person is alive, he will definitely come back to find Yue'er, she will.
Chu Yan pursed his lips tightly.
Why didn't they kill her earlier? Because death would be too easy for her. She must suffer torture, unable to live or die.
The Imperial Prison was heavily guarded and had numerous traps. He had been handling the case for many years and had never seen a successful jailbreak. Therefore, there was absolutely no possibility for Qing Yunyao to escape while she was imprisoned here.
Now the only flaw was actually caused by that foreigner. He was good at poison and when everyone thought he was buried at the bottom of the cliff and his body was eaten by wild beasts without leaving any bones, he actually survived and hid for so long. In the end, he used poison and poison to kill people, broke through the defense of the Imperial Prison, and rescued the people.
"master……"
At this moment, Mo Yu's voice sounded with some uneasiness.
"explain."
Chu Yan said in a deep voice.
Mo Yu made up his mind and reported immediately that no information could be concealed at this time.
"The eldest daughter of the Qin family, Qin Ningyue, is also missing."
"What?"
"who?"
Chu Yan and Feng Ling looked at Mo Yu together. Mo Yu's expression suddenly became serious. He knelt down and said, "The eldest daughter of the Qin family was sent directly to the Imperial Prison last night and locked up in that cell. Now she is gone. Master, please forgive me!"
"Chu Yan, why is Qin Ningyue in the Imperial Prison? Wasn't she imprisoned in the firewood room of your mansion by you?"
Feng Ling's expression suddenly changed, and she yelled at Chu Yan directly.
Chu Yan's face was also very gloomy, and he pursed his thin lips tightly. He felt endless regret in his heart. If he had known earlier, he would have killed them. No matter whether it was Qing Yunyao or Qin Ningyue, as long as one of them died, the result would not be too bad.
"It's useless to say this now. Qin Ningyue knows all the truth. Now that she's in this situation, she must be very unwilling to accept it. If she wants revenge, the first thing she will do is find Yue'er and tell her what happened four years ago. Feng Ling! If Qin Ningyue really reveals this to Yue'er, do you know what the consequences will be?"
How could I not know?
What he and Chu Yan had tried to hide, what had torn him apart in despair, what had hurt Yue'er so deeply, what no one could tell anyone, all for the sake of protecting Yue'er. Once she knew, it would be such a devastating sight. They had already concealed the truth back then, and now she was covered in wounds. Yue'er had used her innocent body to detoxify herself, and now they couldn't let her know the truth!
"You don't have to tell me!"
Feng Ling said in a deep voice.
Chu Yan's eyes were cold. He turned to look at Mo Yu and said, "Search the entire north and south districts of the capital. Ask every household. If anyone has seen these three people and can provide clues, a reward of 1,000 taels of silver will be offered."
"yes."
Mo Yu immediately accepted the order and retreated.
"Zhong Liu, listen to the order. Pass it on. Conduct a blanket search across the eastern and western districts of the capital. Don't let any suspicious individuals go undetected. We must uncover the whereabouts of these three people. We must find them alive or dead!"
Feng Ling gave the order in a cold voice.
"I obey your orders!"
Zhong Liu bowed and then quickly retreated.
"I will personally go to the Qing family and tell them that I will also send people to keep an eye on them. No matter where Yue'er goes, we must prevent her from meeting Qin Ningyue. If we see this person, we will kill him on the spot."
Feng Ling's voice was deep and cold.
Chu Yan pursed his lips and did not argue with him. The Imperial Prison Office had been penetrated, and he had a lot of things to do next.
"Feng Ling, our goals are the same now, and we have reached a temporary reconciliation, but the hatred between you and me... is unsolvable."
