Dongfang Hao leapt up, took out something from behind the board, and then lightly jumped down.

Ying Ying didn't understand, so she asked him, "What is that thing in your hand?"

Dongfang Hao spread out his hands. When Ying Ying saw it, it was only a firework. She was greatly puzzled. "You're still in the mood to play this?"

Dongfang Hao didn't answer. Instead, he lit up the fireworks in his hand and released them into the air. A cloud of purple smoke rose high into the sky.

"This is a special firework from my Qi King Manor. It is used to transmit information. I believe that Princess Liu-Li and the others will be able to see this firework and reinforcements will arrive soon." As Dongfang Hao spoke to here, he glanced at Ying Ying. He saw that Ying Ying was deep in thought. He asked, "What are you thinking?"

"I'm thinking that since we've managed to escape, then my big brother, big brother Fang, and the others might be able to escape as well. Should we go back and take a look?"

Dongfang Hao thought for a moment and then said, "What you say makes sense. We should go back and take a look, but not now."

"Why?" Ying Ying thought about how Xiao Tianyuan was still unknown, so she became extremely anxious when she thought about it.

Dongfang Hao stood up and glanced in the direction of the Grand Preceptor's estate. "Right now, Hai Yuejian is holding onto heavy soldiers, and the city is filled with them. Now, he's willing to hunt us down in the city. Aren't we walking into a trap if we go back now?"

"So you're saying that we don't care about my big brother anymore?" Ying Ying was getting a little anxious.

"That's not what I meant." Dongfang Hao raised his head and looked at the horizon. "Now is not the time. When the sky turns dark, we can sneak into the Grand Preceptor's estate. What we need to do now is to take a good rest and recharge our strength."

Only then did Ying Ying agree. "Alright."

After nightfall, the two disguised themselves and stealthily made their way back to the Grand Preceptor's estate.

The moonlight was bright and cold.

By the time Dongfang Hao and Ying Ying arrived at the Grand Preceptor's estate, it was already in ruins. There were broken bricks and tiles everywhere, and the smell of burnt wood. There were still many soldiers surrounding them, searching for corpses in the ruins.

Ying Ying grabbed Dongfang Hao's hand worriedly. With a trembling voice, she asked, "Is my big brother dead?"

Dongfang Hao shook his head and comforted her, "I don't know either. Wait here for me. Wait for me to sneak over and find out." As he spoke, he quietly approached the pile of ruins.

Ying Ying opened her mouth to call out, but she could no longer pull him back. She could only silently say the words "Bodhisattva's blessing" in her heart as she bent down to look at Dongfang Hao's figure.

Dongfang Hao sneaked over, and while the sentry wasn't paying attention, he grabbed Dongfang Hao by the neck and pulled him to a quiet place. "Are you looking for the bodies of the Great General and Xiao Jun?" he asked. Have you found it? "

That soldier immediately recognized Dongfang Hao. Recalling how Dongfang Hao had killed so many soldiers earlier in the day, he was so scared that his legs went limp. "Please spare us, King Qi. It was General Hai who told us to do this. We don't want to be enemies with him at all …"

"If you don't want to die, then answer my question honestly!" Dongfang Hao glared at him. "Have you found the corpses of General Xiao and the Great General?"

The soldier shook his head. "Although we've searched through the ruins for a long time, we haven't been able to find their bodies."

"How can I be sure?"

"Sea General showed us the tokens and tokens of General Xiao and the Great General. We searched for a long time, but other than a few charred corpses, we couldn't find anything General Hai said. Those are the personal belongings of the generals, but we didn't even see them …" When the soldier said this, he glanced at Dongfang Hao. "That's why General Hai concluded that neither General Xiao nor the Great General died. He told us to continue searching and even said …" The soldier felt guilty and did not dare to continue.

Dongfang Hao was anxious. He pressed the cold blade against the soldier's lower jaw and asked, "What else did you say? If you continue to stutter, I'll kill you with one strike! "

The soldier was so scared that his face turned pale. He did not dare to hide the rest of his words anymore as he said everything out loud, "Tell us to kill them all if we see any generals coming out. Do not let any of them escape!"

When Dongfang Hao heard this, he felt that there was still a sliver of hope. Since Hai Yue didn't find their corpses, perhaps they were still trapped in the stone chamber. If it really didn't work out, then he planned to wait until the reinforcements arrived tomorrow before looking for them.

When the soldier saw that Dongfang Hao had finished speaking, he was so frightened that he kowtowed and said, "What I said is the truth. I beg the king to forgive me."

Dongfang Hao gave a cold snort and withdrew his sword. "I can see that you have some conscience after all. I'll let you go, hurry up and f * ck off …"

When the soldier heard the order, he hastily ran out. It was only then that Dongfang Hao returned to Ying Ying's side.

"How is it? Is there any news from my big brother? " Ying Ying asked anxiously when she saw Dongfang Hao return.

"I've asked around. Those soldiers said that they didn't find your brother and the general's bodies. I think they are still trapped in the stone chamber." Dongfang Hao sighed, "Don't worry, I'll think of a way to save them."

Ying Ying shook her head sadly. "I don't know if my big brother is still alive or not, but how can I not be sad when you teach me?"

"Don't worry. With Miss Nan by his side, he'll be fine."

Ying Ying was still worried. If it weren't for Lan Xin's sword stab, her elder brother wouldn't have suffered such heavy injuries, and might not have been trapped in the stone chamber. "Nan Yu Lan has always been scheming to kill my elder brother, would she have cared about my elder brother? I'm only afraid that my big brother will die an even more miserable death in her hands! "

"Ying Ying …" Dongfang Hao sighed. "Can't you see the feelings between Miss Nan and your big brother?" Although Dongfang Hao didn't understand the grudge between Xiao Tian Yuan and Nan Yu Lan, he could tell that there was fear between them with a single glance.

"If what you say is true, then my big brother has a very high chance of survival." Ying Ying felt a little relieved, but she still couldn't rest at ease after not seeing her big brother.

"I've already thought it through clearly. There are so many soldiers and soldiers guarding the Grand Preceptor's estate right now. Even if we go, it'll be a waste of our lives …" I have already released fireworks to inform Princess Liu Li and the others. They knew that something had happened in the Eastfeather Mansion, so they would definitely rush over to help. " Dongfang Hao looked at the horizon. "I think they will arrive soon. When the army arrives, we can go and save them."

Seeing that Dongfang Hao had already made a plan, Ying Ying knew that they wouldn't be able to save them with just the two of them. Although she was worried, she could do nothing about it.

Dongfang Hao suddenly asked, "There is only one thing that I don't understand. Why would General Hai want to kill your brother and General Wu?"

"I don't understand either …" Ying Ying suddenly thought of Chen Fei's tragic death at the hands of Hai Yuxing and felt a wave of resentment wash over her. "This evil thief, if I catch him, I'll definitely destroy him and avenge General Chen."

"We will definitely get our revenge, don't worry." Dongfang Hao pulled Ying Ying's hand and said, "Let's go."

"Where to?" Ying Ying was still worried about her big brother's safety. She didn't know where Dongfang Hao was taking her right now.

Dongfang Hao walked towards the back of the Grand Preceptor's estate. "I know that you're worried about your elder brother's safety. I think the Grand Preceptor's estate's secret passageway is easier to escape from. The exit might be at the back.

Ying Ying's face revealed a hint of happiness. Although she had yet to see her big brother and the others, Dongfang Hao's suggestion gave her hope. She nodded her head repeatedly. "Fine, let's go over and take a look. Maybe we can really find them."
