Gray Old Man’s status in the Hundred Ghosts Palace is indeed very high. They had only been gone for seven days when people from the Hundred Ghosts Palace caught up with them, and there were quite a few of them.
After the Ninth Prince learned about it, he openly ordered the martial law to be tightened, but secretly revealed the flaws to make it easier for the Hundred Ghosts Palace to rescue people.
The Hundred Ghosts Palace did not disappoint the Ninth Prince. After following them for three days, the people from the Hundred Ghosts Palace finally discovered the loophole that the Ninth Prince had deliberately revealed.
That night, Bai Gui Gong took advantage of the camp guards being tired and sneaked into the place where Hui Lao was imprisoned.
"This damn weather is really cold. It's spring and the sun hasn't come out yet." The guard shivered with coldness: "Brother, please help me watch. I'm going to pee."
"Go, go. There's nothing to worry about with a half-dead prisoner. He can't possibly run away by himself." Another guard yawned and said indifferently.
"He can't run away, but others can come in. The superiors have repeatedly emphasized that the old doctor must not be allowed in. If anything happens, we will be finished." The soldier who wanted to pee was afraid of something happening, so he gave one more warning.
"Okay, okay, I know, hurry up and someone will come to take over the shift soon." The man waved his hands impatiently, slapped his face, and walked around outside with energy.
"Make your move." The people from the Hundred Ghosts Palace made a gesture in the dark, and then two black shadows pounced towards the guard...
"Ah... ghost." The guard yelled, but before he finished saying the word "ghost", he fell silent.
"What's that sound?" The person on shift heard the sound and hurried over.
"Hurry up, someone is coming."
"knew."
Two dark figures flashed into the tent and tentatively called out, "Old Gray?"
The old man lying motionless on the bed with a deathly pale face suddenly opened his eyes, his cloudy pupils gleaming with brilliance: "You are here."
"I'm so glad you're okay, Mr. Hui." The two shadows were very excited and hurried forward, asking respectfully, "Mr. Hui, can you walk by yourself?"
“No.” Gray Old Man shook his head, murderous intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. The two dark shadows didn’t say much, they carried Gray Old Man on their backs and walked out.
"There's an assassin, there's an assassin." Outside the camp, the guards shouted loudly, and the sleeping soldiers immediately rushed out with knives in hand: "Quick, the assassin is in the southeast direction, don't let him escape."
"It's a robbery. Don't let the prisoner escape."
"Protect the prince."
Yuwen Yuanhua arranged elite soldiers and generals who were quick and agile. They were not panicked when things happened, and each performed their duties, and did not let the situation fall into chaos because of an accident.
"The soldiers under Yuwen Yuanhua are indeed extraordinary." Feng Qingchen stood outside the tent, looking at the soldiers who advanced and retreated in a measured manner and besieged in an orderly manner, with a glimmer of admiration in his eyes.
"These people are the family soldiers of the Yuwen family, and they have been loyal to the Yuwen family for generations." No matter how good something is, if you can't use it for yourself, it's better to have no use.
"As long as Yuwen Yuanhua can be used by you, that's all." After all, she is a modern person. No matter how much she integrates into this world, Feng Qingchen's actions and thoughts are still somewhat different from those of people of this era in some aspects. At least she never thinks that Yuwen Yuanhua, who has repeatedly betrayed his master, is a villain who cannot be trusted.
"I will not kill the donkey after it has done its job." But I will not give the donkey too much power either.
The Ninth Prince's words were vague. If it were in the past, Feng Qingchen would not have asked any more questions. But now Feng Qingchen did not want to be so rational or sensible. Regardless of whether the Ninth Prince was happy or not, he directly asked: "So, you will still reuse Yuwen Yuanhua?"
Su Wenqing was right. In order to stand by the Ninth Prince's side, she became calm and rational as the Ninth Prince wanted, and put the overall situation first, but she lost herself.
"You care about him a lot?" The Ninth Prince raised his eyebrows, feeling somewhat relieved. After returning from Sky Dome Castle, he and Feng Qingchen hadn't been so relaxed and natural for a long time.
"He is my friend, so I naturally care about him." Feng Qingchen said as a matter of course. Seeing that the Ninth Prince did not give a direct answer, he asked again: "Tell me quickly, will you reuse Yuwen Yuanhua?"
The slightly unruly tone not only did not make people hate him, but made people feel close to him. The Ninth Prince smiled and said lovingly, "As you wish, I will not let you down."
The torch shone on the Ninth Prince's face, magnifying that faint smile, so bright that people dared not look directly at it...
Feng Qingchen raised his head proudly: "That's pretty good."
At this time, the battle between the guards and the Hundred Ghosts Palace had ended. Seeing the deputy general coming this way, Feng Qingchen went back to the tent first: "I'll write a letter to Yuwen Yuanhua to make him happy."
The Ninth Prince nodded slightly, indicating his tacit agreement.
It is not difficult to make Feng Qingchen happy and reuse Yuwen Yuanhua, as long as he is not allowed to hold military power again.
The purpose of the Hundred Ghosts Palace's trip was just to rescue Hui Lao. After taking Hui Lao away, they did not want to fight any more. Instead, they dispersed in all directions like ghosts to lead away the pursuers.
It was the middle of the night and they were unfamiliar with the terrain. The soldiers were afraid of being lured away from the mountain and did not dare to pursue further, so they came to ask the Ninth Uncle for instructions.
"Chase." The performance must be complete. It is unreasonable to have too many coincidences if it is too easy.
At the command of the Ninth Prince, the whole camp became noisy again. The deputy general mobilized three hundred people and divided them into three groups to chase, leaving five hundred people to protect the safety of the Ninth Prince and Feng Qingchen.
The torches lit up the camp as bright as day. No matter how soundly or deeply the people had slept before, they were now alert and looked around with a vigilant look on their faces, fearing that someone would take advantage of the chaos to hurt the Ninth Prince.
The people from Bai Gui Palace who rescued Hui Lao didn't even dare to close their eyes. They ran all the way for fear that they would be caught up by the Ninth Prince's men and all their efforts would be wasted.
"Is anyone chasing us?" After running for more than half an hour, they stopped to catch their breath.
"It seems not. It's strange that they didn't send anyone to chase us. This doesn't make sense." A strange man as big as an ox muttered, and the people who were traveling with him immediately said, "Gray Old Man is of no use to them at all. Why are they going through so much trouble to chase us? We didn't kidnap that pretty boy."
"If it's useless, why do they keep Gray Old Man alive?" The weird man with a head as big as an ox snorted coldly: "Use your brain when doing things. The regent of Dongling is not a reckless man like you."
"Why didn't I use my brain? You can see that they only have a thousand men. We are divided into three groups. How can they catch us? In a one-on-one fight, no matter how powerful those soldiers are, they are no match for us."
"Twenty-two is right. Dongling should not dare to disperse its forces to chase us." The person who spoke had a low voice and sounded very steady. His words also stopped the others from making noise. However, the weird man who was as big as a cow still had some doubts: "Seventh brother, it's not that I think too much, but... you also heard what Gray Old Man said. This matter of the descendants of the Lan family is too coincidental."
“This matter… I don’t know whether they did it intentionally or unintentionally. We can’t let anyone plot against us.” The man called Seventh Brother also had to be cautious.
"Whether it was intentional or not, we will investigate this matter ourselves. If that City Lord Lian is really a descendant of the Lan family, we will kill him." Twenty-two had a hot temper. The weird man as big as a bull snorted unhappily: "You are used as a gun by others, and you still want to thank them. You are really capable. You are so stupid, I don't know how you survived."
"You scolded me?" Twenty-two roared, drawing his sword to chop at the opponent, but the monster as big as an ox was not afraid and came forward with a sneer.
Seeing that the two were about to fight, Brother Qi hurried forward to stop them, but before he could open his mouth, he heard the sound of horse hooves...
