Seeing this, Leng Hong Xiu could not help but feel that her actions this time were not wise. From the looks of it, Yun Ri Yang might have come looking for her.

But then he thought, if he did not find him, where could Yun Ri Yang find him? Or could it be that he didn't come to find him at all, but was instead planning to return to the Imperial Palace?

If that was the case, wouldn't it be even more troublesome if he wanted to leave this city?

Hearing this, he nodded his head, "The nine sects are under martial law."

I already know, royal father issued a decree saying that the bandits who kill people without batting an eye must be arrested inside the city, so they must be apprehended. As a result, they must not be apprehended, there is no pass order, and citizens are not allowed to enter or leave the city as they please. I was just about to go to the north gate to try my luck.

Seeing that Leng Hong Xiu had taken the initiative to look for him, the anger and unwillingness that Yun Yang felt from Leng Hong Xiu yesterday was gone. Not only that, he even felt a sense of pride in his chest, and his tone became lighter and clearer.

"In that case, I believe you know the reason why I am here."

He did not expect that she would leave the city from the North Gate. Although she did not rashly leave the city, when she had first established her house, she had set up a mansion near the North Gate in preparation for this move. Now, it was easily seen through by Yun Ri Yang.

If he had known earlier, he would have bought a house near the southern gates of the Imperial City. That was the biggest city gate in the entire Rising Sun Empire, with four huge bronze gates.

"Hong Xiu, why are you in such a hurry to leave the city? If Sen Luo was already in trouble, then even if you go all the way out of the city, it would not change anything. If the person who kidnapped him did not kill him, then he must have other plans.

As long as there was even the slightest chance, Yun Yang would spare no effort to persuade Leng Hong Xiu to go out of the city to look for Sen Luo.

"Yun Jiu, I thought my words were very clear. Unless Sen Luo really did open his mouth wide and reveal your so-called demon body to eat me, I won't believe that he would harm me."

"Hong Xiu, why are you so stubborn? However, Hong Xiu, right now, the entire city is under martial law and there is no way out without a pass. So, you might as well stay at my place for a few days, and when the martial law is in contact with you and you leave the city, I will definitely not stop you, what say you? "

This was Yun Ri Yang's true purpose. He wanted to bring Leng Hong Xiu back to the Ninth Prince's Mansion for a few days and then use this time to convince Leng Hong Xiu that Sen Luo was a demon.

But Leng Hong Xiu shook her head, "Yun Jiu, you can get me a pass, right? After all, you are the current Ninth Prince, and if you want to protect a few people while they are out of the country, what is it worth? "

"Hong Xiu, are you making me ignore the laws of the country, ignore the orders given by my royal father? No, I can't do that. " Yun Ri Yang immediately shook his head and rejected, and then continued in surprise, "How many people? You're not the only one who's leaving the city? "

Leng Hong Xiu did not deny it, but stared straight at Yun Sun Yang, "You said you want to be my friend!"

Yun Ri Yang was startled and then quickly replied, "Yes, I did say that but you also said that you never make friends with others."

"I've changed my mind now. I'm going to make you a friend, Yun Ri Yang. It'll depend on whether you're willing or not." Leng Hong Xiu continued to stare into his eyes without moving, and did not cower, nor did she allow him to cower.

Yun Ri Yang could not help but reveal a bitter smile, "Hong Xiu, don't you think that doing this would hurt a 'friend' too much? You want me to act rashly for your friend and ignore the decree my royal father passed down to me? "

"Say, do you want to be friends with me? Since we're friends, then we won't be sad or hurt. I am not a great bandit, and letting me leave the city is not against your royal father's orders, is it? Or are you saying that you want to be my friend only to imprison me in one place? "

Leng Hong Xiu continued to look at Yun Ri Yang with an unwavering gaze, and said the words calmly and gently.

He was a little embarrassed, but he could not admit it no matter what. Thus, he immediately denied it and said, "Of course not, what do you think of me? I just, okay, Hong Xiu, I agree with you saying that a friend should have two ribs and two swords, a friend doesn't need to understand each other at the same time? Perhaps before tonight, those bandits will be arrested, won't they? "Tomorrow morning, when the city gates open, the world will be at peace. Since you insist that I send you out of the city now, I will have to make things difficult for you —"

Unfortunately, before he could finish, Leng Hong Xiu had already turned around, "I understand, I don't need a friend who doesn't help when I'm in trouble. When I don't come to find you, I will go back and wait for the martial law to be lifted, and we will never see each other again!"

"Wait a minute, Hong Xiu, I said that I would make things difficult for you, but I didn't say it, so I really won't help you?" I already know your determination to leave the city. Forget it, who told me to care so much about being your friend? It's just that now is not the right time to leave the city. Who are you? "

"Two, the people who made the deal with me, I have to take them out with me."

She knew that this was not the time to be flirting with Qiao Qiao and since Yun Yang had already let go, she did not try to put on airs. Any strategy, any headaches, would be counterproductive.

I will bring you out and say that I plan to go to Longchang Temple, which is a hundred miles away from the capital, to pray for blessings. After that you will stay the night and pretend to be my wife, hmm, Hong Xiu, don't misunderstand me, this is to not arouse suspicion, so I said that you have not been well recently, so I will send you to Longchang Temple to stay.

Leng Hong Xiu looked at him and nodded, "Ok."

"Ahhh! Fine, since you agree, then that's for the best. I will try to dress you in men's clothes as much as possible. Just say that you want to go out for convenience, that's why I'm pretending to be a man. I won't make things difficult for you."

Seemingly never expected that Leng Hong Xiu would agree so straightforwardly, Yun Ri Yang became a little flustered and said stiffly.

"No need, I can put on my women's clothing. I'll prepare my clothes myself, and you can prepare a carriage later. Go to the north gate, I'll bring some people to meet up with you."

She was a woman to begin with, so what if she wore women's clothing once? It was just that Yun Yang did not know about it, so he believed that it was fine for him to disguise himself as a woman.

"Wait, where are you going? Aren't you coming back to the palace with me? "What would people think if they found out that my 'female servant' had boarded a carriage near the north gate?" Yun Ri Yang was shocked and quickly asked.

"If I go back with you, what about the two people I'm going to take with me?"

"You can send someone to bring them to my manor now. Now that we're under martial law, is there any place safer than my manor?"

That was true, but the problem lay with the two men she was taking out. They were the first two on the wanted poster, and they were walking on the street openly. There was a problem with both of them, so how could they bring them to the Ninth Prince's Mansion? Wasn't this recognized by someone in a single exchange?

I trust you, but that does not mean that they also trust you at this moment, and even though they are people who made a deal with me, I cannot guarantee their safety. You only need to send us out of the city for a short while, but bring them to your palace.

The word 'trust' from Leng Hong Xiu caused Yun Ri Yang to be extremely excited. Under the situation of the mixed feelings between the two of them, he blurted out, "Alright then, you can go back and inform them that you have found a small alley in the commoner district near the North Gate. When our carriage passes by, we will change it to the original one and let them act as guards to drive the carriage out of the city with us. It just so happens that royal father wants to call me back to the palace today. I also need to return to inform royal father that four hours should be enough time. Hong Xiu, four hours should be enough time for you to come back and find me.

Leng Hong Xiu originally wanted to say something, but when she thought about how she had a request from someone else, if she were to put on a high attitude, it would be ungrateful and not give him face, so she nodded her head, "Alright, it's decided then. You can enter the palace. I will make a trip back."

"Wait, Hong Xiu, are you living far away? I'll give you the horse! " Yun Ri Yang said with a bright and sincere smile.

In her heart, a rare sense of guilt surged out, but it quickly disappeared. In her mind, sympathizing with someone was a sign of danger, "No need, my residence is not far from here, I'll be there soon. You should hurry and enter the palace, be careful on the road."

This last sentence was entirely due to Yun Ri Yang's wish to give her a horse, but this unintentional reply caused Yun Ri Yang's heart to become excited and happy. It seemed like Leng Hongxiu did not care about him at all, but it was just that he was unhappy because he had always said that Sen Luo was a demon.
