Chapter 76: Making a Feint to the East and Attacking the West



Jun Beiqi led his men to continue chasing Murong Hui and his men, but Baitong Pavilion was indeed one of the best organizations in the world for buying and selling information.

Their keen sense of information caused Jun Beiqi to fail many times, and they also released a lot of false information to confuse the direction of their pursuit.

Time passed quickly. Lin Zan and Si Xueyi had been imprisoned by Murong Hui for ten days. During these ten days, Lin Zan had eaten and drunk well, but instead of losing weight, he gained some weight.

The weather is nice today. Lin Zhan won Murong Hui's trust with his well-behaved appearance and was able to go out to the yard to bask in the sun.

Then she saw Si Xueyi, who was also sitting there, looking as pale as a sick Xi Shi. After hesitating for a while, she walked over.

Si Xueyi seemed to have noticed Lin Zhan as well, and was surprised to see Lin Zhan's rosy face. "Why does Miss Lin look so good?"

"Of course it's good to have food and drink every day, but today's braised pork is a bit greasy and needs improvement." Lin Zan sat there, picked up a cup of tea and started drinking.

But she didn't expect that after she finished speaking, Si Xueyi's face turned very ugly. She bit her lips and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito. "It turns out that Miss Lin has not been tortured these days and has food and drink. But you don't know that I have been living on hard and dry buns these days."

"What did you say? How is this possible?" Lin Zan looked at Si Xueyi in disbelief, as if he didn't believe what she said was true.

Si Xueyi was also a little angry, her pale face was bony, and her expression was a little ferocious. "Miss Lin, are you saying that I lied to you? I haven't had a hot meal in the past few days. I am not as lucky as Miss Lin."

After saying that, she went back to her room angrily, while Lin Zan sat there, looking completely confused.

Lin Zan didn't know why Murong Hui treated the two people differently. At dinner time, Murong Hui came to ask Lin Zan about the golden needles as usual.

Although Lin Zhan said he didn't know every time, Murong Hui never got tired of listening to Lin Zhan repeating the same words.

This time was no exception. However, Lin Zhan put down his chopsticks and asked Murong Hui in front of him, "Today I heard Si Xueyi say that you only gave her dry and hard buns every day. Is it true?"

"It's true. I know you don't like her, so I'll make her suffer a little on your behalf. Are you happy? If you are happy, can you tell me the origin of the golden needle?" Murong Hui said to Lin Zan with an evil smile on his face.

Lin Zhan was no longer surprised by his persistence in the golden needles. He just curled his lips and said, "Don't use your understanding to guess my thoughts. When will you let me go?"

"When you tell me where the owner of the golden needle is, I will let you go." Murong Hui said the same old thing.

It was absolutely impossible to let Lin Zhan betray his master, so Lin Zhan just focused on eating and ignored Murong Hui who was sitting there.

At this moment, a noisy sound suddenly came from outside the door. Murong Hui's eyes narrowed slightly in an instant, and a venomous snake-like light flashed in them, similar to that night.

"You stay here and don't run around, otherwise you will know that the mechanisms of the entire villa are no joke." Murong Hui stood up and said to Lin Zan in a warning.

Lin Zan curled her lips. If the entire villa wasn't equipped with traps, she would have found an opportunity to escape long ago.

Seeing Lin Zan eating his meal obediently, Murong Hui didn't say anything more and quickly left the room.

After he left, Lin Zhan quietly came to the window. Although the window was sealed, Lin Zhan had a way. She poked the window open with chopsticks and looked outside.

After a while, a team of imperial guards rushed up and started fighting with the gangsters from Baitong Pavilion. A look of joy instantly appeared on Lin Zhan's face.

"That's great! My sister must have sent someone to rescue me." Lin Zan said happily, and quickly put away his belongings and the pair of golden needles.

After getting ready, Lin Zan walked around the room nervously, waiting for the fight outside to come to an end.

Finally, the door was kicked open fiercely. Lin Zhan looked towards the door happily, and saw Jun Beiqi striding in wearing a dark tights. His posture was majestic and handsome, like a priest descending from heaven, an unforgettable sight.

"Your Highness the Crown Prince." Lin Zan immediately ran over happily and threw himself into Jun Beiqi's arms.

When Lin Zhan smelled the crisp scent of pine and cypress on Jun Beiqi's body, his extremely panicked heart instantly calmed down.

"I'm here to take you back." Jun Beiqi also took the opportunity to hug Lin Zhan tightly, feeling like he had regained something he had lost.

Jun Beiqi then picked up Lin Zhan and left the room. The people outside were still fighting, but the Royal Guards had gained the upper hand. Surrounded in the center were Murong Hui and the people from Baitong Pavilion.

Murong Hui gritted his teeth and looked at Lin Zhan in Jun Beiqi's arms, but suddenly he smiled strangely, said something to Lin Zhan, then left the people from Baitong Pavilion and ran away alone.

"I'll come back for you."

Lin Zan knew what he said based on his mouth shape, and his face turned pale instantly. The remaining people from Baitong Pavilion naturally had no power to resist and were captured.

At the same time, Si Xueyi, who was locked in another room, was rescued by the Imperial Guards. She was starving to death at the moment. When she saw Jun Beiqi, she immediately burst into tears.

Originally a delicate beauty must have a slender figure, but now Si Xueyi looks too thin, with only a skeleton supporting her, like a skeleton covered with skin, with no beauty at all.

Jun Beiqi didn't even glance at Si Xueyi. He just ordered someone to take her away, and then left with Lin Zan, who was a little dazed.

Lin Zhan was brought back to consciousness again because of a familiar sweet smell coming from her nose. It was her favorite hibiscus pastry.

"You've suffered a lot these days." Jun Beiqi handed the lotus pastry to Lin Zan's mouth.

Lin Zhan was instantly happy with the food. He took a bite and his mouth was immediately sweet. He said happily, "It's okay. Didn't the prince come to save me? But the prince is so amazing that he was able to avoid the eyes and ears of Baitong Pavilion and find us."

"How difficult is that? It's just a trick of making a feint to the east and attacking in the west." Jun Beiqi's face lit up when he was praised by Lin Zan, and he said in a light voice.
