On the other side, Qiu Hong had already rushed to Prince Yongning's residence and was stopped as expected.

When she came here, she had already guessed the outcome. What kind of place was the Prince's Mansion? It was not a place where a single piece of cloth like her could go.

However, Su Zhi was imprisoned. In the entire Xuan City, only Lu Huan had the ability to save people.

"Little brother, you guys do well. Go inform them that Hua Manlou's men are here to see His Highness."

The guard waved his hand impatiently. "You should hurry up and leave. Who is our prince? Do you think you can easily meet him?"

"His Highness is a regular customer of Flower ManLou, you will definitely inform him. I dare to guarantee that His Highness will not ignore this."

"Go, go and behave atrociously elsewhere. Do you want to enter the palace as you please?"

Qiu Hong stomped her feet in anxiety. She could not do anything about being stopped outside the door. When she thought of Su Zhi's predicament and how she was unwilling to leave, she could only wait outside the mansion anxiously.

At this moment, Lu Huan Zhi was leaning back in his teacher's chair with his legs crossed as he listened to Mei Ji play the zither.

Qiu Hong was unwilling to leave, so the butler brought the matter to Lu San's ears.

Hearing that it was Hua Manlou's people, Lu San's first reaction was Su Zhi.

However, when he went out to take a look, he realized that the person who had come was not the one that the crown prince was interested in.

"Butler, how long has that girl been standing outside?"

"It's been a while, but I refuse to leave. I've come to ask for your opinion."

Although Lu San wasn't familiar with Qiu Hong, he still felt that it was necessary to let Lu Huan Zhi know that she had come for him.

"I'll go report to his majesty right now. All of you, look after him."

The butler obeyed and stopped Qiu Hong from being stopped. He only asked the servants to keep an eye on her movements.

"Your Highness!"

When Lu San came to report on the situation, Lu Huan was still wandering in the zither music. Seeing that the attendant had disturbed her mood, she even felt slightly displeased.

"What are you doing, noisy."

"Your Highness, a woman came from outside and said that she's from Flower Mansion."

At the mention of Hua Manlou, Lu Huan put away his impatience and asked, "What's the matter with her?"

"I didn't ask, I just wanted to tell you."

"Then invite the person in."

After receiving his orders, Lu San ran over to pass on the message, asking the gatekeeping guards to bring Qiu Hong in.

Qiu Hong, who was already dispirited and ready to leave, followed the butler to Lu Huan Zhi's yard with tears in her eyes.

Seeing Lu Huan's Qiu Hong kneel down, "Your Highness! Your Highness, please save our boss! "

Lu Huan hated women crying the most in her life. Seeing her like this, she quickly got Lu San to help her up and ask a question.

"Speak slowly, don't be anxious. What happened to Mistress Su?"

Qiu Hong wiped away her tears and replied, "Not long ago, the government took our boss away. We don't know how the situation is right now, and we thought that His Highness might be able to help, so we came to find you."

Hearing that Su Zhi had been taken away, Lu Huan Zhi was also puzzled.

This woman was quite capable. She failed to get to the yamen yesterday and insisted on going today. He couldn't stop her.

"Why was she taken away?"

"The officials said that the boss is colluding with the merchant."

Lu Huan Zhi stood up with a cold look on his face.

The cover used to capture people was not meticulous at all. He dared to use all sorts of lousy reasons to cause trouble. He didn't know who this woman had provoked, but she had caused trouble for him time and time again.

"I got it. I'll go to the yamen now to ask around."

Qiu Hong thanked him gratefully and followed Lu Huan to the yamen.

It was only when they arrived at the yamen that they found out he had been released and asked for directions. It was only then that they found out that they had not returned to Flower Mansion, but had gone outside of Xuan City.

Lu Huan's eyes narrowed, and he slapped his forehead with his folding fan, "It's broken."

"Lu San, prepare a horse for my son!" I want to leave the city! "

This woman probably didn't know that she had fallen into his trap.

The murder case asked her to investigate, so why did she need to go to the yamen? Yet, she chose to follow him without thinking clearly about anything.

After waiting for the manservant to lead the horse, Lu Hengzhi didn't have enough time to explain. She mounted the horse and galloped towards Xuan City's city gate.

It was almost noon. The sky was so dark that it seemed like it was going to rain. The pedestrians on the street had already dispersed.

Su Zhi followed the two constables out of the city. The place they arrived at became more and more remote.

It was surrounded by shrubbery that was half the height of a man, which didn't seem like a place with alcohol.

"Brothers, did we go to the wrong place?"

The constable who was leading the way did not say anything, but the hand holding the knife tightened.

Su Zhi also realized that something was wrong as they walked. According to what A'Ai said, they should be near the main road of Xuancheng's outskirts. However, this place deviated from the official road and showed signs that it was becoming more and more deviant.

She did not dare to continue walking forward as she stood on the spot, vigilantly observing her surroundings.

This place was desolate and uninhabited. Weeds covered the ground along the way. One could tell with a glance that very few people had come here before.

"Hurry up and go, stop wasting time!"

Seeing that she had stopped, the two constables impatiently urged her, "We're at the front. Let's go!"

Su Zhi stopped walking. When she saw the strange expressions on their faces, she could not help but step back.

Just as she was about to turn back, the two normal constables unsheathed their swords and pounced on her.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Su Zhi screamed in fear and ran back the way she came from.

The constable followed closely from behind, and it seemed that the large blade was about to slash down from behind.

In the nick of time, four uniformed bodyguards jumped out from the jungle. With a wave of the long sword in their hands, the two policemen fell to the ground.

When Su Zhi turned around, she saw that the person who had been about to attack her was already lying in a pool of blood.

The four guards kneeled down and said, "Madam, do not be afraid. We were sent to protect you by the general."

"If the general sends you here, what about him?" Thinking about that silly man, Su Zhi's heart ached.

He risked his life outside, yet he gave the secret guard to him. Was he not afraid that something might happen to him?

"The entire squadron of the dark guard has been arranged to protect you. A few of our men will remain at Spring Leaf Alley and A Jin's side."

If they split up into three teams, there would definitely be no one left on Xiao Qian's side.

"This way …" Just when he said that he didn't need so many people to follow him, a sharp arrow flew towards him from the depths of the jungle.

The dazzling arrow moved extremely fast. The dark guard who was kneeling on the ground raised his hand and shot out the dart.

"There's an enemy!"

As soon as his voice fell, dozens of masked men in black jumped out from the woods. He held a long sword in his hand and coldly stared at the woman.

The leader made a move, and all the men in black behind him rushed forward.

"Madam, quickly leave! We'll block them!"

Su Zhi was frightened. She had never seen such a scene before and knew that these people were here for her. Without further ado, she ran towards the official road.

She wanted to shout for help, but just as she spoke out, an assassin came chasing after her. For the sake of safety, Su Zhi could only try her best to escape.

The process of escaping was extremely tense. The hidden guards that Xiao Qian had sent were scattered; four people weren't enough to deal with the dozen or so cold-blooded assassins.

Su Zhi was caught up very quickly. "Help!"

She shouted for help. The man in black moved quickly and cleanly, chopping apart all the plants around him.

"Help!" On the quiet ancient path, the woman desperately tried to escape, but the people behind her were still relentlessly pursuing her.

After running for a long distance, she gradually began to feel weak. Cold sweat poured out of her body, and her calves were already beginning to spasm. If this carried on, she was afraid that she would die here!

"Giddy up!" Not far from the official road, the sound of rapid horse hooves could be heard.

As Su Zhi panicked, she did not forget to call for help. "Help!"

"Lady Su!"

It was Lu Huan Zhi who had arrived in time!

As if seeing her savior, Su Zhi ran in the direction of the official road with all her might.

A man was riding a green mane horse. His lotus clothes were fluttering in the wind. His black hair was fluttering in the wind, as if an immortal had descended into the mortal world.

"Your Highness!"

"I'm here, don't be afraid!" The man pulled the reins tightly and stood in front of her. He frowned slightly as he stared vigilantly at the assassin who was chasing after them.

Seeing that it was him, the man in black, who had caught up, hesitated for a moment. When the leader of the group caught up, he opened his mouth and said to Lu Huan Zhi, who had come to help, "Sir, why are you wading in this muddy water? We only want this woman's life.

"Hey, don't you know who this woman is? Who sent you here? Who was it that sent you here? "Go back and say that this woman is under my protection!"

"Your Highness should hand over this woman."

Lu Huan gave an evil smile, "Are your ears on your chin? Or was his brain caught by the door? I've already said that I'll protect her, you don't understand! "

The black clothed man choked and his polite attitude changed.

After the negotiation was fruitless, the leader pondered for a long while, and after sensing that the four dark guards had caught up, he had no choice but to give the order, "In that case, I'll be offending you!"
