At this moment, Hu Qing also arrived. "Your Highness, this is a message from Prime Minister Lu."
Su Ruojin opened the note and her eyes narrowed. She looked at Fu Linglong and said, "Master, it seems we have to go back to Longxiao City."
Fu Linglong was a little worried, "Xiao Jin, but you haven't finished learning the Gu techniques and astrology yet."
"Master, there's no time left. What I've learned these past few days should be enough to hold out for a while. I'll keep studying as much as I can, don't worry, Master."
Fu Linglong glanced at the lightning in the direction of Longxiao City again. She knew that even if Su Ruojin and the others didn't go back, Gao Hongyuan would have already come looking for them.
Although Jinghuanglu has a formation, even the most powerful formation cannot withstand the imperial army.
If Gao Hongyuan really sends the city's garrison, it's only a matter of time before they find this place.
"Then you should go down the mountain first thing tomorrow morning, Xiao Jin, please be careful." Fu Linglong was still worried.
"Fifth Master, don't worry, I will protect Ajin." At this moment, Xiao Yanchu also came over.
Fu Linglong sighed. The world in Xiaoyue was about to change.
It's too late today, so Su Ruojin decided to get some rest first and talk about it tomorrow.
She could wait, but Gao Hongyuan couldn't.
The formation was activated, and Gao Hongyuan walked to the star-gazing platform. He watched as lightning flashed across the sky, and then the stars in the sky began to brighten and change. He squinted at the stars in the sky.
"So you were hiding here! Men, pass on my orders: dispatch a thousand city guards to Cangming Mountain and raze it to the ground!"
"yes!"
As dawn broke, An Yi hurriedly knocked on Su Ruojin's door.
"Your Highness, Your Highness, a troop of city guards, about a thousand strong, has come down from Cangming Mountain and is sweeping up the mountain."
There are array formations around Jinghuanglu, but array formations are usually built based on favorable timing and location, rather than appearing out of thin air.
If the city is defended by sweeping through the mountains, even the most powerful formation will be completely destroyed.
Su Ruojin and Xiao Yanchu exchanged a glance.
"Yanchu, let's go."
Xiao Yanchu took the cloak and draped it over Su Ruojin's shoulders. "Put it on properly, it's still a bit chilly on the mountain."
Neither of them showed any sign of panic. Their numbers were limited, and even if their secret guards could fight ten against one against a thousand city defenders, the battle would be extremely fierce.
Moreover, it's simply not worth fighting like that.
Gao Hongyuan dared to send so many people here, which means he probably only knew that the Second Prince he was looking for was here, but he didn't know who else was by the Second Prince's side, which is why he did this.
It's time to meet him.
"Let's go down the mountain as soon as possible, so they don't damage Fifth Master's formation and we don't have to spend money to repair it." Su Ruojin didn't want to waste money because of Gao Hongyuan.
After saying goodbye to Fu Linglong, Su Ruojin and her group began their descent down the mountain.
"Who goes there!"
The city guards, who were climbing the mountain, saw them and asked what was going on.
"These are the Regent and Queen of Great Chu. You all should step back immediately!" Hu Qing shouted back.
The garrison was dumbfounded; they never expected that searching the mountains would lead them to the Regent of the Great Chu and his consort.
One of the city's garrison soldiers hurriedly ran down the mountain to report the situation to the city commander who was leading the troops that day.
Upon hearing this, the city guard hurriedly came to Xiao Yanchu and his group. He looked at Xiao Yanchu, who was dressed in black and had a dignified bearing. The woman standing next to him was only dressed in a simple blue dress, but when the sunlight shone through the trees onto the blue dress, auspicious clouds could be seen floating on the hem.
Putting everything else aside, just by looking at the fabric of their clothes, the city commander knew they were no ordinary people.
