Chapter 85 Your subordinates will go and capture Lu Linyuan now...

Although Ugusdan was seriously injured and caught a cold, his hearing was still sharp.

From the distant street came the sound of horse hooves and the collision of armor. If he escaped from prison, the King of Liaonan would certainly search the entire city. Ugusdan knew that he was unlikely to escape this disaster.

He asked Jiang Yanxi in a hoarse voice: "How many people have seen you since you hid in this broken temple?"

Jiang Yanxi hugged her knees and shook her head: "I didn't dare to go out. I only used earrings to exchange steamed buns with a few beggars at the end of the alley."

As she spoke, she took out half of the uneaten steamed bun from her pocket and handed it to Ugusdan carefully: "This is the half I left for you."

Ugusdan didn't take it. He looked at Jiang Yanxi who was obviously afraid of him but stubbornly guarded him, and weighed the pros and cons in his mind.

If he was caught and taken back like this, his jailbreak would almost be in vain, and the prison would definitely be strictly guarded in the future, and his chance of escaping would be pitifully slim.

As long as he was still in Feng Shuo's hands, the Turkic tribe would not dare to attack Xizhou.

Ugusdan pondered for a moment, a look of determination flashed across his eyes. He struggled to pull off the wolf tooth pendant on his neck, turned his head and looked at Jiang Yanxi and said, "I have saved your life."

Under the firelight, his androgynous face was stained with blood, and the contours of his facial features were much deeper than those of the people of the Daxuan Dynasty. The thick scarf on his neck covered his Adam's apple, and he looked like a foreign beauty.

Jiang Yanxi nodded.

Ugusdan handed her the wolf fang pendant and said, "Do me a favor. This is my way of repaying you for saving my life. Take the wolf fang and go now. Go to the teahouse at the north gate for tea in the next few days. If anyone asks you where you are from, say you are from the land of wolves. If they ask how many wolves are left, say they are all dead."

The wolf fang was taken from his neck. He was feverish and his whole body was scalded. The wolf fang fell into Jiang Yanyi's cool palm, still carrying the residual temperature of his body, but the wolf fang, which was as thick as her little finger, seemed to be surrounded by a murderous aura. It was not difficult to imagine how ferocious the wolf with this fang would be.

Jiang Yanxi's hands were shaking unconsciously: "What will you do if I leave?"

Ugustan sneered, with a mocking look on his androgynous face: "What do you think you can do if you stay?"

Jiang Yanxi bit her lip embarrassedly: "I'm sorry..."

Ugustan listened to the sound of approaching horse hooves, a hint of restlessness appeared between his brows. If he hadn't been seriously injured and caught a cold and couldn't even stand up, he wouldn't have wanted to pin all his hopes on a piece of trash who could do nothing but cry.

In order to let Jiang Yanxi leave with peace of mind, he gritted his teeth and said, "Leave now! I was the one who killed the man, and you have nothing to do with it. If you stay, you will be considered an accomplice!"

Jiang Yanxi shook her head: "It was... that man who flirted with me first. I will testify for you in court, and maybe I can get a lighter sentence. Girl, you saved me, how can I abandon you..."

Ugusdan was still hoping that she could run out and help him report the news. She was so hesitant, and Ugusdan was so manic that he wanted to kill people. If he had persisted for a while longer last night and kidnapped a passerby, his situation might be better than it is now.

Ugusdan took out a dagger, pointed the tip of the knife at Jiang Yanxi, and forced her, "Go!"

Jiang Yanxi had no choice but to leave the ruined temple with tears in her eyes, looking back every few steps.

Ugusdan shouted with difficulty: "We must go to the teahouse at the city gate!"

His throat hurt so much that his voice was hoarse and he couldn't shout loudly. Jiang Yanxi had already walked out of the ruined temple. She couldn't hear clearly at the door. She thought Ugusdan was reminding her. She was moved and said: "Don't worry, girl, I will take good care of myself!"

Ugusdan, who was lying in the ruined temple and was almost dead: "..."

He wanted to kill people!

When Jiang Yanxi walked through the alley in front of the ruined temple, she met a beggar. Jiang Yanxi had seen this beggar during the day. He wanted to take advantage of her with some steamed buns at that time. Jiang Yanxi ignored him and exchanged her earrings for steamed buns with a few little beggars.

Now when she met the beggar again, he was still looking at her with lustful eyes. Jiang Yanxi was so scared that she covered her face with her hands and walked out quickly.

The beggar chased after her with a strange smile, but he ran into the searching army at the entrance of the alley. The beggar was immediately frightened and hurried back with a stick.

Jiang Yanxi's face turned pale when she saw the army.

The leader sitting on horseback saw Jiang Yanxi and immediately asked, "Who are you?"

Jiang Yanxi's mind went blank: "I... My surname is Li. I came to Xizhou from the capital to seek refuge with my relatives."

She came all the way from the capital to Xizhou. Every time she left the city gate, she would be checked by soldiers. At this moment, she said it completely by instinct.

When Minister Jiang forged her household registration, he said that Li was her mother's surname.

The chief shouted, "You are from the capital, do you have any documents?"

When Jiang Yanxi left Lu Linyuan's house, she packed up all her things and took them away. She took out the documents from her bag and handed them over.

The chief took a look and couldn't see any problem with the documents, so he continued to ask, "If you are seeking refuge with your relatives, why are you still here in the middle of the night?"

Jiang Yanxi bit her lip, and a strand of her hair fell by her ears. She looked sad and pitiful, "I have spent all my money on the road, and I haven't found my relatives yet, so I have to stay here for one night."

This area is full of beggars, and it is indeed a free temporary place to stay.

The chief asked, "Why are you out at this time?"

Jiang Yanxi's palms were sweaty, and she seemed embarrassed. She only glanced at the beggar who followed her with the corner of her eye.

After she made this move, the leader understood that she left this place, perhaps because she was harassed by the beggars.

The leader signaled the old woman who followed them to search to search Jiang Yanxi, mainly because he was afraid that the Turkic prince would be in female disguise and steal other people's household registration.

The old woman touched Jiang Yanxi through her clothes, and after confirming that she was a girl, she nodded to the leader.

The leader then signaled his men to let her go.

Being searched in public was an embarrassing thing after all. Jiang Yanxi left with tears in her eyes. Thinking of the woman who saved her was still in the ruined temple, she felt guilty and had to hold the wolf tooth pendant given to her by Ugusdan helplessly. As

soon as Jiang Yanxi left, the officers and soldiers began to interrogate the beggars in the alley, but did not find anyone suspicious among the beggars.

The leader ordered his men to search the ruined temple at the back, and he shouted to the beggars, "Have you seen a woman or man who was injured?"

Most of the beggars shook their heads, only the beggar who followed Jiang Yanxi smiled, revealing a mouthful of black and yellow rotten teeth: "Soldier, last night, two young ladies settled in the ruined temple. One of them knows kung fu and is very powerful, but she seems to be injured. The other one is the young lady who just left."

At this moment, the subordinates who were searching the ruined temple also came back, and said with joy on their faces: "Boss, we found someone!"

The leader had no time to be happy. When he thought that the accomplices of the Turkic prince had slipped away under his nose, he was so angry that he cursed and immediately took people to capture Jiang Yanxi.

Jiang Yanxi was unfamiliar with the roads in Xizhou. She walked and stopped along the way, and hesitated whether to go back to help Ugusdan. When she passed an alley, someone suddenly covered her mouth and pulled her in.

At the same time, soldiers holding torches and riding war horses also chased over from the end of the street, shouting angrily: "Search it carefully for me!"

The firelight did not feel warm in the cold night, but made Jiang Yanxi's heart sink to the bottom of the valley.

The person who covered her mouth was thin, and there was a nice pine and cypress fragrance on his clothes. Jiang Yanxi burst into tears instantly.

Lu Linyuan whispered: "Don't make a sound, follow me."

The two got on the carriage, and Qingsong drove the carriage back.

Lu Linyuan asked Jiang Yanxi, "Are you injured?"

His voice was gentle and gave people a sense of strength, as if no matter what she had experienced, she could be healed by him.

Jiang Yanxi shook her head and cried silently.

Lu Linyuan wanted to comfort her, but it was obviously not the right time. He said, "Someone died in Huajie last night. Your hairpin was the murder weapon. What happened last night?"

Jiang Yanxi knew that Lu Linyuan was working in the government office. Telling him the truth might help Ugusdan, so she told him everything about Ugusdan saving her, but subconsciously kept the fact that Ugusdan asked her to take Langya to the teahouse in the north of the city to drink tea and wait for someone.

After listening to her, Lu Linyuan asked a few more questions about the appearance of the woman who saved her, and then he guessed that the girl she was talking about was the Turkic prince Ogustan.

He said: "Since you didn't kill him, you don't have to worry. I will find a way to send you to a safe place after I go back."

Jiang Yanxi said anxiously: "She was injured to save me, how can I ignore her?"

Lu Linyuan closed his eyes and shouted: "Do you know who he is? If you really get involved with him, it will be a great crime that will implicate the entire clan!"

Lu Linyuan's words calmed Jiang Yanxi.

The wolf tooth in the sleeve pocket was obviously not a Central Plains ornament, the officers and soldiers who searched all night, and the girl's deep facial features... "Her" identity was obviously not simple.

Jiang Yanxi squeezed her palms and smiled bitterly: "She may be a heinous criminal in the eyes of others, but to me, she is just my savior."

As soon as she finished speaking, the carriage was stopped.

Lu Linyuan swallowed back the words that were about to be scolded.

The leader of the search stopped the carriage and asked, "Who is in the carriage?"

Lu Linyuan motioned for Jiang Yanxi to sit aside, and then he opened the curtain on the other side a little, and coughed twice due to catching a cold: "I have met General Yuan, it is Lu who passed by here."

The leader clasped his fists towards Lu Linyuan on horseback: "Why are you here, Lord Lu?"

Lu Linyuan said: "I'm sorry, the murderer of the Huajie murder case has not been found yet, and the people in the government office dare not relax. They are all investigating the case."

Song Lu Shi signed a military warrant in front of Feng Shuo. He suspected that the Turkic prince was related to the Huajie murder case. In order to find the murderer as soon as possible and catch the Turkic prince, the people in the government office were working day and night to find clues.

The chief had also heard a little about Song Lu's incident, and said, "Lord Lu has worked hard, but to avoid suspicion, I still trouble Lord Lu to open the curtain."

Lu Linyuan's smile did not diminish at all: "Of course."

He put his hand on the curtain and opened it inch by inch, and the chief kept staring at his carriage.

"Stop!"

"Stop her!"

Suddenly, there was a noise in the distance. The chief looked back and saw a man in black leading a woman over the wall. The woman's dress was exactly the same as Jiang Yanxi's.

Lu Linyuan's curtain had been half opened, and he could see that the back of his carriage was empty, and there was no one else in the car.

The chief clasped his fists and said, "Sorry to bother Lord Lu."

He urged his horse to chase the two people who had escaped.

Lu Linyuan lowered the curtain and told the driver, "Go to the inn."

His secret guards couldn't delay for long.

He had been doing business in Xizhou for so long, and the Lu family was not weak in both financial resources and reputation. It didn't take much effort to buy an inn as a base.

Jiang Yanxi's back was pressed against the wall of the car near the curtain, and her cold sweat had almost soaked her shirt. It was really too dangerous just

now. Lu Linyuan said to her, "Xiangyun Inn is the property of the Lu family. You hide there for a while. After tonight, I will also be suspected, and you can't go back with me."

Jiang Yanxi nodded fearfully.

The leader led the officers and soldiers to chase and block the people, and finally blocked them into an alley.

The officers and soldiers lit torches and saw clearly that the person the man in black was carrying was not a woman, but a straw wrapped in silk.

The man in black saw that the situation was not good, so he quickly jumped over the wall to escape. Unexpectedly, as soon as he climbed over the wall, he was kicked in the chest by someone. He fell down.

His chest hurt sharply, and his back hit the blue brick ground. His spine almost lost consciousness. The man in black lay on the ground, twitching with pain.

The leader looked at the man in a suit who landed steadily, and quickly clasped his fists and said, "Commander Xing."

Xing Yao said, "Tie the man back."

The officers and soldiers quickly stepped forward and tied up the man in black.

Xing Yao walked out of the alley, stood outside the carriage window, and reported to Feng Shuo in a low voice: "Master, the woman who helped the Turkic prince escape was not caught, but the person who deliberately confused the audition was caught. There is obviously a mastermind behind the scenes."

Feng Shuo's voice came from the carriage, colder than the cold wind in the snowy night: "Take him back and torture him."

Tonight was not a complete loss, at least the escaped Turkic prince was caught.

With the Turkic prince as a hostage, the Turks would not dare to go to war with Xizhou in a short time. But I don't know what the Turkic prince told his accomplices. If the Turkic prince's accomplices passed the news back to the Turks, it would definitely be disadvantageous to Xizhou.

When the carriage was going back, Feng Shuo lifted the curtain and took a look outside, and happened to find a wheel mark on the snow.

It had been snowing heavily, and if there were any traces left behind, they would have been covered by the snow long ago. However, the traces were very fresh, and it was obvious that a carriage had just passed by.

The lantern hanging under the eaves of the carriage cast a dim yellow light the size of a fist. Feng Shuo's narrow eyes reflected the light of the lantern. He stopped the carriage and asked Xing Yao, "Who else passed by here in a carriage tonight?"

As Feng Shuo's personal bodyguard, Xing Yao naturally didn't know this, so he asked the small leader. After getting the answer, he quickly reported to Feng Shuo, "It was Lu Linyuan. The government office is investigating a murder case in Huajie. But the people below checked his carriage, and there were only him and the driver in the car."

Feng Shuo didn't say a word. He got off the carriage, looked at the wheel marks left by the two carriages on the ground, and snorted meaningfully.

Xing Yao walked in with a lantern, carefully distinguishing the wheel tracks left by Feng Shuo's carriage and Lu Linyuan's carriage, and soon found something wrong. His face changed drastically: "I will take people to capture Lu Linyuan now!"

Lu Linyuan's carriage left first, but the heavy snow had been falling for so long that the wheel tracks left by his carriage were slightly darker than those left by Feng Shuo's carriage.

There were only two people in Lu Linyuan's carriage, and there were only him and the driver's guard in Feng Shuo's carriage, but the wheel tracks were of different depths, which obviously meant that there were other people hiding in Lu Linyuan's carriage!
