Chapter 314 At noon, they finally returned to the Imperial City
Mo Liyuan and his group were speeding along the road like the wind.
After half a day's gallop, we missed an inconspicuous carriage in such a quiet woods.
Xiaoshan was a guy who looked quite smart. He could tell at a glance that this group of people were very powerful. He couldn't help but feel a little afraid and quickly pulled the carriage to the side, fearing that he would block their way.
Mo Liyuan and others did not stay for long, but just passed by quickly.
Inside the carriage, Lan Xiyue was leaning against a soft cushion, sleeping soundly.
She had no idea that the person who just passed by her was Mo Liyuan, who had been almost going crazy trying to find her these past few days.
As soon as Mo Liyuan and others entered Yancheng, a secret guard immediately appeared in front of them, half-knelt on the ground, and told them what they had found out.
Tianyi's eyes lit up, "Master, it really is the princess."
Mo Liyuan's tense expression of the past few days finally relaxed a little after hearing this, but his voice remained cold: "Where is Yue'er?"
The secret guard lowered his head and said, "The princess rented a carriage and left early this morning."
Mo Liyuan's brow furrowed again, and his mind suddenly flashed back to the carriage they had passed on their way here. Could it be that he and Yue'er had just missed each other like that? His heart sank again, but then he thought, as long as Yue'er was safe, that was enough.
The secret guard continued to report what happened in Yancheng yesterday. After listening to it, Mo Liyuan couldn't help but smile. This was indeed something Yue'er could do.
"After things here are dealt with, also, have someone find out how the magistrate of Yancheng County bought his money? Have someone impeach him at the court tomorrow morning." Mo Liyuan's voice was cold, "Take people to kill all the assassins that the emperor has kept outside." His eyes flashed with determination and ruthlessness, as if he wanted to eliminate all threats to Yue'er.
Doesn't his brother always cause trouble? He wants to give him a surprise.
Tian Yi responded and thought to himself: The emperor has really pissed off the master this time. They had found out before that the emperor had a lot of assassins outside and sent them to assassinate the master. The master had not touched these assassins for the sake of the empress dowager. This time the emperor sent people to assassinate the princess again, which really pissed off the master.
Tian Yi responded, and the group turned their horses around and headed back without even taking a rest.
The night was as dark as ink, and a dilapidated ancient temple on Qingfengpo looked particularly desolate under the moonlight.
Outside the temple, the sound of horse hooves was heard hurriedly. Mo Liyuan looked at the carriage he met on the way here, his eyes flashing. "Whoa!" The horse neighed loudly. Mo Liyuan jumped off the horse and strode towards the ruined temple.
The firewood in the dilapidated temple was swaying. Lan Xiyue heard the sound outside, her face full of alertness, and she held the silver needle tightly in her hand.
As soon as Mo Liyuan entered the ruined temple, he was greeted by silver needles. He dodged the silver needles easily with a flash of his body, and came in front of Lan Xiyue, pulling Lan Xiyue into his arms.
The familiar aura instantly surrounded her. Lan Xiyue was stunned for a moment, "Mo Liyuan?"
"Yu'er!" Mo Liyuan's voice trembled, as if he had found a treasure he had lost. He hugged Lan Xiyue tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his bones.
Lan Xiyue was a little breathless in his embrace. She struggled softly, "Mo Liyuan, you, you let go first."
Upon hearing this, Mo Liyuan slowly loosened his arms and stared at Lan Xiyue with his deep eyes. "Yuer, I'll take you to a place."
Lan Xiyue frowned, her gaze fixed on Mo Liyuan's bloodshot eyes. "Um, haven't you had a good rest these past few days? It's late at night, how about you take a break first?"
Mo Liyuan pursed his slightly dry lips when he heard that. Yue'er had also been traveling for a whole day, so he nodded slightly and said, "Okay."
Mo Liyuan then waved to An Yi, and An Yi followed him like a shadow and came to his side in an instant.
Mo Liyuan's voice was low and cold: "Send a pigeon to Tianyi immediately and ask him to stop the action." He wanted to personally take Yue'er with him to destroy the assassins raised by the emperor.
An Yi responded, walked out of the dilapidated temple quickly, and blew a sharp whistle.
After a while, a carrier pigeon flapped its wings and landed steadily on his shoulder.
An Yi tore his inner clothes, bit his finger, and used his blood as ink. In a few seconds, the letter was ready. He stuffed the cloth strip into the bamboo tube on the pigeon's leg and released it. The pigeon flapped its wings and flew high, quickly disappearing into the night.
Mo Liyuan's gaze fell on the little girl beside Lan Xiyue, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes: "Yuer, who is she?"
Lan Xiyue gently patted Niuniu's shoulder, trying to calm her nerves. "Don't be afraid, Niuniu. He belongs to me... well, he's not a bad person." She turned to look at Mo Liyuan, her eyes filled with helplessness and explanation. "This is Niuniu, a little girl who was captured by the men in black and threatened me. I saved her."
Mo Liyuan frowned when he heard this, and Lan Xiyue slowly explained the whole story.
As Mo Liyuan listened, regret surged in his heart like a tide. He went to the edge of the cliff twice, but he never thought that Yue'er would be under the cliff.
Lan Xiyue looked at Mo Liyuan and held his hand, "Okay, I'm fine." Moreover, this time it was a blessing in disguise, and she earned five million points, Lan Xiyue thought secretly.
They spent a peaceful night in this dilapidated temple.
The next morning, Mo Liyuan looked at Lan Xiyue and said, "Yuer, just let the secret guard send her home. Let's go back first. I will take you to another place in the evening." As soon as he finished speaking, a secret guard came forward.
Upon hearing this, Lan Xiyue turned her gaze gently to the little girl Niuniu beside her.
Niu Niu's bright eyes were filled with longing and reluctance for the unknown world. She pursed her lips tightly, as if trying hard to restrain her inner emotions.
Lan Xiyue's heart softened, and she whispered softly, "Niuniu, he will take you home, okay?"
Niu Niu looked up at Lan Xiyue, her eyes seemed to be able to speak, full of reluctance but also with a hint of trust. Finally, she nodded gently, with crystal tears flashing in her eyes.
The secret guard stepped forward, carried Niuniu onto the horse, and rode away.
Lan Xiyue watched them leave. Mo Liyuan hugged Lan Xiyue and jumped onto the horse. The two of them rode together and galloped all the way. At noon, they finally returned to the imperial city.
