Chapter 205
The man responded: "There is a secret passage that leads directly to the pier."

When Zhuyao heard this answer, she nodded in satisfaction. She was about to order something else, but the man couldn't help asking: "Lord Zhuyao, I don't understand something."

Zhuyao frowned and looked at him, beckoning him to ask.

The man continued: "Since my lord has mastered the escape secret of the Eastern Zhou Dog Emperor, why don't you just leave the capital? The escape must be connected to the outside of the city."

Zhuyao said angrily: "The person who works with us inside and outside only told me a secret passage, there are many forks in the secret passage, and I took the Fourth Highness with me, so I dare not change the road rashly. If I go to a dead end, wouldn't it be troublesome? Fourth Highness."

The man nodded and said: "My lord's words are reasonable, alas, it's a pity that Feng Yuli let that bastard run away, otherwise this time, my lord can take Feng Yuli and the Emperor of Eastern Zhou back together. Two truths."

Zhu Yao raised her eyebrows and said, "You mean the man who claims to be Bi Fang's friend?"

"That's right, my subordinates have been looking for him. It turned out that he was hiding in the capital to open a bookstore. He was captured that day. Unexpectedly, Qin Wang Shuang Feichen came out halfway and rescued him." The subordinates were full of frustration.

Zhuyao gritted her teeth, and said coldly: "Qin Prince's Mansion is really interesting, it always opposes my Shenji Pavilion, it seems that we have to teach them a lesson, so that they know what restraint is."

"Did you kill the dog emperor?" The subordinate asked excitedly, looking a little eager to try.

Before Zhuyao could reply, the Fourth Prince Tuoba Feng stopped him and said, "You can't kill him!"

Zhuyao and the subordinates saluted to Tuoba Peak one after another.

Zhu Yao asked: "Your Majesty, the old emperor probably isn't lying, and it's really useless for us to keep him. It's better to kill him directly. At that time, his sons will fight for the throne, and there will be civil strife in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty." .At that time, if we raise our troops to attack again, wouldn’t it be more effective with half the effort?”

Tuobafeng shook his head and said: "You think things too simply. There was a prince in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. Even if the old emperor died, the prince can take the throne and proclaim himself emperor. It won't be a mess for a long time. We killed their emperor, It will only make the soldiers of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty even more angry, and it will boost their morale. When the two sides really fight, Beiyan, who is short on food and grass, may not be able to survive this winter."

Zhu Yao didn't understand, she asked: "But Fourth Highness, haven't you always advocated wars and not peace? As long as the old emperor is killed, the battle between Dong Zhou and Bei Yan will be unavoidable."

Tuobafeng looked at Zhuyao, and said in disapproval: "Yes, I am the main battle, but I can't let Beiyan lose. The most damned thing in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is not the old emperor who was half buried in the loess, but the brave and good fighter Wen Changfeng. Without Wen Changfeng in Beiye City, it would be like a tiger without teeth, and if we raise our troops to attack at that time, we will naturally be able to drive straight in."

Zhuyao only half understood.

She wondered: "Since the target of the Fourth Highness is Wen Changfeng, why didn't the Fourth Highness kill him when everyone's body was poisoned today?"

This time, without waiting for Tuoba Feng's answer, Shao Yang came over and said, "Because the Fourth Highness wants to kill not only the generals of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty, but also the morale of the Eastern Zhou army."

"Military spirit?" Zhu Yao questioned doubtfully.

Shao Yang nodded and said: "That's right, the emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty was suspicious by nature. This time we have such a big battle, the emperor will definitely suspect that someone from within the Eastern Zhou Dynasty is cooperating with us. The most suspicious of them is of course Wen Changfeng who accompanied us all the way. The Emperor of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty suspected him, so he couldn't tolerate him. When the emperor ordered to kill him, it would kill not only this person, but the trust of the Beiye City army in the royal family."

Tuobafeng nodded and said: "That's right! After all, the army of Beiye City was trained by three generations of Wen family generals. The general was strangled by His Majesty because of a crime without evidence. The army of Beiye City must be in turmoil. At that time, our Beiyan army will really get twice the result with half the effort!"

It turned out that this was the purpose of Tuoba Peak.

Zhu Yao frowned slightly, she was a little hard to understand these emperor's intentions, her purpose was only for Chi Youhuan.

Zhuyao said: "Since the Fourth Highness has already made arrangements and Chi Youhuan has not disappeared, then we will leave the old emperor behind and set off immediately to return to Beiyan."

Tuobafeng sneered and said, "Who said Chi Youhuan has no clues? The biggest gain of our trip is Chi Youhuan's clues."

Both Zhu Yao and Shao Yang looked at Tuoba Feng suspiciously.

Tuobafeng looked at the two of them, and asked, "Do you know who drew the Hundred Horses Picture?"

Zhuyao thought for a while and replied: "If my subordinates remember correctly, the signature is Wuwei Sanren."

Tuobafeng smiled and said: "Wuwei Sanren is my grandfather."

Both Zhu Yao and Shao Yang showed surprised expressions.

Tuobafeng continued: "The painting of hundred horses was made by my grandfather. From the time it was completed to the time it was dedicated to the emperor, I never handed it to anyone else. It has been kept in a safe place for so many years. In other words, the painting that was burnt on the main hall , absolutely impossible to be fake!"

Shao Yang asked in surprise: "Then what happened to the painting that Princess Qin Wen Moyan brought out?"

As soon as these words came out, Zhuyao's eyes lit up instantly, and she said belatedly: "It's Chi Youhuan's power, Chi Youhuan can absorb ashes and restore them."

Speaking of this, Zhuyao patted her forehead, and said with some annoyance: "Oh, how could I forget such an important thing! It must be Chi Youhuan, and Chi Youhuan is on Wen Moyan! No wonder she So bold, even daring to burn the tribute, it turned out that it was well prepared."

Tuobafeng also sighed and said, "I can't blame you. Under the circumstances at that time, even I thought they secretly sold the painting. After all, whoever gets Chi Youhuan will be more careful to keep the secret. Who would have thought that Wen Mo Yan actually has the guts to use it in front of so many people?"

Speaking of this, Tuoba Feng mocked and said with a smile: "Oh, after all, she is just a woman, and I am afraid that I will be robbed of my husband."

Zhuyao is not interested in Wen Moyan, and has limited interest in Shuang Feichen, she just wants to get Chi Youhuan.

Zhu Yao said, "Since I know Chi Youhuan's whereabouts, I'll go find Wen Moyan now."

Tuobafeng frowned and said, "It's not a good time. There is a lot of turmoil in the capital right now. Wen Moyan will definitely lock himself up in Prince Qin's mansion without leaving home. We are short of manpower. If the two sides fight, we will only be at a disadvantage. Since this hiding place It's very safe, then we might as well stay here for a few days and see if we can wait for Wen Moyan to go out alone."

Zhuyao nodded and said: "Okay, if we can't wait, we can arrest her father and lead her out."
