When Duan Xingyi once again saw Yan Wuhen, he was already covered in cuts and bruises.
"What is it? Still not willing to tell? I believe that the master behind you must have a great deal of face, otherwise, the two ladies of Qi Dou would not have come to the royal study to plead for you. To be able to have such a relationship with the two ladies of Qi Dou, either they have received a great favor from you, or your master's position and status is worth a bunch of people in their eyes. Duan Xingyi calmly analyzed the scene as his eyes turned as cold as ice.
I don't know what you're talking about." I'm just a Taoist in pursuit of ghosts, how can I have a master! "If there really is a master, then it's also Old Lord Taishang …" Duan Xingyi was very clear that a tough guy like Yan Wuhen would definitely not submit to a whip, and he might as well just withdraw all the soldiers.
"It doesn't matter if you don't say anything. If this fails, your master will definitely think of a way to save you. Do you think I will let him have his way?" Duan Xingyi slightly hooked up a strange smile, then left the cell in large strides. Yan Wuhen slightly raised his gaze. Deep in his heart, he was afraid that Duan Mu Yan would reveal her identity in order to save him.
Spring Festival.
"Master, did you manage to find anything?" Leng Bingxin suspiciously looked at Duan Xingyi. However, looking at his face that was as cold as an icicle, she knew everything.
"That person really has a stubborn mouth, but it doesn't matter. I never planned to get anything out of him, but the person behind this actually managed to convince the two ladies. This makes me very uneasy. Now that I think about it, Qi Hu and Dou Jing died weirdly. Could it be …" Duan Xingyi's sword-like eyebrows tightly knitted together. He felt an indescribable nervousness in the bottom of his heart.
"Master is suspecting that they are not dead, this is impossible!" Leng Bingxin said confidently.
"Perhaps. No matter what, we must find out who the person behind the scenes is. Otherwise, everything that has happened in the past will be in vain." Duan Xingyi felt increasingly uneasy in his heart. His mood was exceptionally heavy.
"Master, I don't know why, but that Hua Kui called Meng Yan hasn't appeared for almost a month. I wonder if this person is related to the organization behind the scenes?" Leng Bing Xin guessed.
"Meng Yan …" Heh, perhaps there might be someone who knows her identity! " Duan Xingyi suddenly thought of that bad friend of his. Why did he want to follow Meng Yan that day? This question had always been at the back of his mind.
Moonflower Palace.
"She must have misunderstood you, right?" Hong Chang leaned lazily on the chair, her phoenix-like eyes looked at Xiao Jin Feng with a charming light. Sometimes, Shangguan Wu Ye wondered if he was right to save him. Still wrong.
"She didn't misunderstand, but her subordinates were unwilling to forgive me, thank you!" If not for Shangguan Wuye, he would have definitely fallen into Duan Xingyi's hands. With Duan Xingyi's intelligence, he would have definitely guessed his identity, and this was something he didn't want to see.
"Heh, how rare …" Shangguan Wu Ye replied resentfully. The next second, his face froze a little. "Someone you shouldn't have seen has come, you should leave first …" As Shangguan Wuye spoke, all that remained was a magnificent sight. Just as Shangguan Wuye was sighing emotionally, that purple dress suddenly arrived.
"Friend …"
"If you still acknowledge me as your friend, tell me, who is Meng Yan? Don't tell me you don't know! " Her ice-cold voice carried a trace of decisiveness. Duan Xingyi coldly gazed at Shangguan Wuye with a solemn expression. He didn't have the slightest intention to joke around.
"Cough, cough …" Why are you being so serious … If I knew, I would naturally tell you. Unfortunately, I truly do not know. " As soon as Shangguan Wuye's words fell, Duan Xingyi had already made his move. If Shangguan Wuye's kung fu was not exceptional, this palm would have protected him for more than three days.
"Hey!" You're not going to do this, are you? I really don't know, you saw what I saw that day! " Shangguan Wuye looked at Duan Xingyi in alarm. He had been hiding this from him for a long time, admitting it wouldn't do him any good.
"You swear it?" Duan Xingyi suspiciously looked at Shangguan Wuye, thinking that he had been too reckless.
"I swear! I really don't know! What's wrong? Something big happened? " Shangguan Wuye said tentatively.
"You'd better not lie to me!" "Scram," Duan Xingyi said coldly. He then turned around and left. Looking at Duan Xingyi's fading back, Shangguan Wuye couldn't help but sigh. I'm sorry! If you want to watch a show, you will have to pay a price …
Inside the cell, Wu Bingcheng called the jailer over to his side.
"Listen up, even though I'm inside, that's my and the crown prince's plan. Where is the newly captured Daoist Priest?" Wu Bingcheng spoke with a dignified tone.
"My lord, what do you mean by stratagem?" The jailer subconsciously asked about the good news, only to be scolded by Wu Bingcheng.
"If you don't look at your own identity, how can you know about such a major event in the imperial government!?" "Hurry up and tell us, where is the Daoist priest captured by His Highness the Crown Prince!" If it wasn't for Duan Xingyi, he might not have had a backer to rely on, but he wouldn't have offended so many generals, and he wouldn't have been jailed. Now that the matter has been resolved, does he really think I'm a fool?! Don't let me get out of here, or I will announce your actions to the world sooner or later!
"My Lord, it's in the cell where we locked Dou Jing up! But His Highness the Crown Prince has decreed that no one is allowed to enter! " Prison guard replied.
"Close it there …" It's not safe there! " Wu Bingcheng said resentfully.
"Master, there are three lines of defense there. Even if it's the Great Firmament, don't think of saving him there!" The guard replied.
"Oh, by the way, send someone to call my wife over. Tell her that I want to eat some food at home. This prison food is too horrible!" Wu Bingcheng frowned and said disdainfully.
"But you're the one who ordered the fire food every day?" Prison guard was suspicious but he was hit by guard B.
"Don't worry my lord, I will do it right away!" After the guard left, Wu Bingcheng's gaze turned cold. Luckily, he had the key to the dungeon, otherwise, it would have been even harder to get him out of that cell.
In the Imperial Hospital, Xiao Yuxuan's addiction was already getting less and less. Other than the occasional tingling and itchiness during this period of time, he was powerless on all fours. There was no longer that bone-piercing pain.
"Mu Yan, I've already asked the imperial physician. I will be completely healed in ten days. At that time …" Xiao Yuxuan softly said. His gaunt and emaciated face became even more round, revealing his unparalleled elegance.
"Let's drink the ginseng soup first. Even if there's another ten days, we can't afford to be careless. Yuxuan, we've worked hard for so long. We can't afford to be negligent in the slightest." In ten days, yes, there were only ten days left before she would leave Xiao Yuxuan and return to his own world. Heaven had pitied her and given her a month's time to get along with Xiao Yuxuan.
Just as Duan Moyan was about to pass the bowl to Xiao Yuxuan, her hands were tightly gripped by Xiao Yuxuan's hands. Duan Moyan's heart shook and she tried to retract his hands, but his hands were unable to withstand Xiao Yuxuan's insistence.
"Mu Yan, let us start again. We can live in seclusion like royal father and live the life that we want!" Xiao Yuxuan looked excitedly at Duan Moyan. This time, even if there was an even greater obstruction, he would not give up.
Just as Duan Mu Yan was in a dilemma, the door suddenly rang. Xiao Yu Xuan was slightly startled, but Duan Mu Yan had already pulled his hand away.
"Come in …" She pushed open the door to find Zheng Xianzi standing respectfully outside the room. Understanding Zheng Tingze's meaning, Duan Muyan said a few words before leaving with him.
At this moment, Yao'er, Zi Min, and Xiao Jin Feng were waiting for him in the secret chamber.
"How's it going?" Duan Moyan recovered her composure and asked in a cold voice.
"In reply to Wangfei, Wu Bingcheng already believes that the person who wants to kill him is Duan Xingyi, and he has also promised that he would help us rescue Big Brother Yan. He speaks with complete confidence, and believes that he has a way to coax the jailer to reveal the location of Big Brother Guan Yan." Zi Min answered truthfully.
"What this subordinate is worried about is Duan Xingyi, because no one can be certain that he won't appear in the Sky Prison tonight. Since his goal is to uncover the masterminds, I believe he must have long been prepared. Maybe there will be all sorts of ambushes laid out around the Sky Prison." After all, he had once been an almighty general, so naturally, he would be more meticulous in his thinking.
"So you're saying you won't let us go and save Big Brother Yan?" And you still say it's not a spy! " Zi Min said angrily. She didn't have a good impression of Xiao Jin Feng.
"Zi Min, say less. It's not like what you say is illogical. I wonder how wangfei will arrange it?" Yao'er calmly advised, before shifting her gaze to Duan Mu Yan.
"We definitely have to save Wu Hen, but we can't go back on our guard if we don't regret what we said. This time, I want to make a bet that the twelve of you will accompany us, and even if Duan Xingyi had ambushed us, he definitely wouldn't have expected us to send so many people. Wu Bingcheng is a man who fears death, and since he promised you, he definitely has a way to save Wu Hen before leaving with you." I have my own ways of dealing with him! " Duan Mu Yan said resolutely.
"Since you've decided on this, I'll give it to you for self-defense!" Zheng Ting Ze passed the prepared copper balls to Zi Min and Xiao Jin Feng.
"What is this?" Zi Min looked at the copper ball in her hand in confusion and asked.
"This is the smoke ball that I have prepared for a long time. As long as I throw it out forcefully in times of crisis, it will explode into a cloud of smoke. You can also take advantage of this chaos to escape!" Zheng Tingze explained.
After everyone was ready to leave the royal hospital, Yao'er walked over to Duan Mu Yan's side.
"Esteemed wangfei, how do you want to use your appearance to entangle Duan Xingyi?" Yao`er's problem was precisely the one that caused Duan Mu Yan to worry. When she thought of Duan Xingyi's charming eyes, her entire body felt uncomfortable. It was as though those eyes could see through her and she couldn't hide all of her thoughts from him. However, with Meng Yan's identity, what reason could a brothel girl have to meet the Crown Prince?
After pondering for a long time, Duan Muyan finally decided to use her current identity to meet Duan Xingyi. She really couldn't find any excuse to cause a brothel lady to appear in the palace.
The sun was setting, and the new moon was rising in the east. All of their plans were being carried out in an orderly fashion. Inside the Imperial Physician Courtyard, Duan Mu Yan left Yao'er to take care of Xiao Yuxuan while she headed for the crown prince's hall.
