Riding the Pheonix Chapter 686: Out of town

Miss Ling reacted, dropped Taoist Jin, and rushed towards Yang Shu.

At this moment, Yang Shu narrowed his eyes.

"Zheng——" The crossbow arrow shot through the air.

Mingxiao was blocked by Mingwei, and there was no way to avoid it.

The sharp arrow pierced his chest, causing him to lean back. The crossbow arrow penetrated his chest, leaving only the tail.

Miss Ling’s sword has arrived.

Duofu, who had been hiding in the shadows waiting for the opportunity, jumped up.

The dagger was thrown.

Miss Ling had to retreat and dodge.

Yang Shu took the opportunity to escape.

"Go!" he shouted.

Mingwei glanced at the grieving Tang Shao, sighed, turned back and jumped onto the roof.

"Miss, this way!" Duofu had already seen an escape route and led them to escape.

The two of them went so fast that they disappeared in the blink of an eye.

These people present did not even react.

Tomorrow, I will cut off the tail of the arrow, seal several large holes, and shoot out the arrow with one palm.

"What are you waiting for?" he shouted, "Duke Dai is dead, why don't you ask them to surrender?"

Under the official sect of Xuanwu Star, all the major constellations act according to orders.

Suddenly, shouts of "Duke Dai is dead" resounded throughout the palace.

……

On the other side, Mingwei and three others rushed out of the palace, and Ah Xuan came towards them.

"Your Highness! Our people have left the city, hurry up!"

The four of them followed the route arranged by Ah Xuan and quietly left the city.

Fortunately, the palace is in such chaos now that no one cares about them.

After leaving the city, Mingwei suddenly realized: "No! Cousin! He is still in the Duke's Mansion!"

"Uh..."

A few people looked at each other.

There were so many things that happened tonight that they didn't even remember.

"What should I do?" Duofu asked, "Miss, how about I sneak in and take a look?"

"No, it's too dangerous." Mingwei thought for a while and called out Xiaobai Snake, "Let Xiaobai go."

Most people can't see it, and Taoist Master Jin is in the palace, so Wen Xiuyi probably won't care.

"Don't worry, sir, I will definitely find the Fifth Young Master."

The little white snake nodded politely to everyone and swam away along the wall.

A Xuan asked: "Your Highness, Miss Ming, Mr. Hou has already gone to the place of residence to make arrangements. Shall we go over there and wait for news?"

It was really useless for them to stay here like this, so Yang Shu agreed: "Let's go."

……

The palace's killing cry rang out all night long.

The people in Nan'an were in panic. It was not until early in the morning that they dared to carefully poke their heads out to see what was going on outside.

There were no vendors in the bustling streets in the past, only heavily armed sergeants coming and going.

Mingwei and others slept randomly for two hours, and it was not until dawn that they received news one after another.

After they retreated, Marquis Wenshan and people from the Tang family arrived.

Tang Jing's death caused great confusion in the military morale of the Tang family.

With this incident, Marquis Wenshan temporarily stabilized the situation.

Subsequently, people from other aristocratic families also intervened.

The Tang family missed the opportunity, and by the time Tang Shao and Tang Xi started to rectify the situation, the situation had reached a stalemate.

Now the two sides are temporarily retreating, forming a tense situation.

Yang Shu breathed a sigh of relief: "Great! Our goal has been achieved."

What they want is for them to consume each other so that they have no time to think about Beiqi's ideas.

Mingwei nodded, thinking of Tang Shao's grief-stricken look and worrying about Ji Xiaowu who was still in the city.

It's not that she feels guilty. She was originally kidnapped by the Tang family. If she hadn't secretly recovered her skills later, she would still be suppressed by the Tang family.

However, after getting in touch with him these days, Tang Shao was different from the domineering and powerful minister she imagined. She would inevitably wonder, if she tried harder, would he, like Xuan Fei, take another path? In that case, there would be no need to use swords against each other.

But she felt that this idea was too naive.

Tang Shao and Xuan Fei are completely different. His background determines his position, and the fact that he sent people to Northern Qi is enough to show that his ambition has been cultivated for a long time, but he has no chance to show it.

So, even if she tried hard, it was impossible to change the opposition between them.

If they want to dominate the world, they will inevitably embark on a hostile path.

Yang Shu felt that she was worried and became suspicious: "Who are you worried about?"

"..." Mingwei felt that it was not easy to talk about this matter, maybe she was a little guilty? Just as I was thinking about how to answer, the little white snake came back.

She breathed a sigh of relief and asked Little White Snake: "Where is my cousin?"

Little White Snake was very frightened: "Sir, I, I didn't find the Fifth Young Master."

Mingwei was stunned for a moment: "What's going on?"

Little White Snake said: "When I arrived at the Duke's Mansion, the Fifth Young Master was no longer in the Mansion. Now the Mansion is in a mess. I searched again and again, but couldn't find anyone..."

A few people were dumbfounded.

Isn’t that the case? After finally finding them, I thought I could rescue Ah Wan, but I actually lost Ji Xiaowu again? What to do now?

Leaving Ji Xiaowu alone would definitely not work. Yang Shu thought about it and said, "Hou Liang, you first go back to Qi State, pass the news to General Zong, and start looking for Awan's whereabouts."

Hou Liang asked: "What about you, Your Highness?"

Yang Shu said: "We can't leave Ji Xiaowu alone. Let's stay for a few days and go back as soon as we find him. If it takes a long time, you must have full control over the search for Ah Wan."

Hou Liang was very excited. He knew well Awan's position in Yang Shu's heart, so this allowed him to shoulder the important responsibility!

He immediately replied: "Don't worry, Your Highness~IndoMTL.com~ I will personally go to the northwest. I am familiar with the place and I will definitely find out the whereabouts of Miss Awan."

Yang Shu nodded: "Okay, if you do this well, I will find an official position for you later."

Hou Liang said: "Your Highness, I don't want an official position."

Yang Shu was surprised, this old boy, who previously wanted to be an official, why did he change his gender?

Hou Liang scratched his head and tried to look honest, but he still had a sinister look on his face: "These days when I was young, I felt that being an official required too much superficial work, so it would be more interesting to help His Highness take care of the secrets. And it’s much more comfortable.”

This suits him quite well.

Yang Shu responded: "As long as you do your job well, you can do whatever you want."

Hou Liang was overjoyed: "Thank you, Your Highness! I will pack up now and return to Qi State immediately."

"Yeah."

Hou Liang's trip was not easy. After returning to Qi, he immediately rushed to the northwest, and then he had to go to Hu Di. Not to mention the broken legs after traveling thousands of miles, there are still many things to arrange in between.

"Your Highness..." Ah Xuan hesitated.

Yang Shu looked at him: "What, you want to go too?"

A Xuan hesitated for a long time, and finally sighed: "His Highness can't live without people, so I'd better stay here."

Yang Shu nodded. Ah Xuan and Ji Xiaowu didn't have much contact and didn't have any feelings for each other, but it was different from Ah Wan. They grew up together, so of course they wanted to go to Hu Di to save people immediately.

But it can't be done that way. The Ji family treated Mingwei very well, and Ji Ling even worked hard for him in the years when he was exiled from the capital, managing his property in the middle of the capital. Although she knew what he was doing, she didn't say anything and just helped secretly.

Now that something happened to Ji Xiaowu, how could he turn around and leave? Naturally, we have to find someone first.
