Chapter 36 I owe you a lot

Cheng Chong took the bag of Brahma flowers from the puppy, rubbed his head and left. The puppy obediently stayed in place and counted the hours waiting for him.

Chu Yan arrived at the botanical garden that the puppy mentioned. It was a place hidden in the deepest outskirts of Qingmu Town. The botanical garden was not too big, but the scattered mountains were indeed filled with Salva flowers.

He covered his mouth and nose and walked closer. The Brahma flower has no fragrance or taste, so even if it is ground into powder and put into anything, it cannot be tasted.

The most deadly thing about Salha flower is that if taken in small amounts for a long time, the whole person will be in a trance and unable to tell what night it is, and eventually the body will collapse.

The wet nurse mentioned Rosemary Zi, and the letter also mentioned that the mother's death was related to Yunzhou, so the key lies in this Boluo flower. What happened that year, and why the mother's death would involve Yunzhou, which is thousands of miles away. state?

Chu Yan looked at the patch of bala flowers, half-squinted his eyes, and then left.

Not long after he left, a woman came out of a nearby room and murmured: "Why did it feel like there was someone there just now?"

He returned to the place where he separated from Cheng Chong and the others, and saw the puppy running quickly with its head lowered and bumping directly into him. Chu Yan stretched out his hand to stop him: "What's wrong?"

"Your Highness, eldest brother is trapped in the darkroom."

The puppy wiped the tears on his face and told him the whole story. Chu Yan's face was calm, which actually calmed down the panicked puppy.

"Go to the place he said and go and have a look."

After that, he walked over quickly, and not long after, he reached the dark room that the puppy said. There was already a group of people standing there, holding torches in their hands. Ma Chaoyang, his clothes a little messy, stood in the middle, looking like he was in a hurry. There was no time to change clothes.

Chu Yan hid in the dark and watched this scene.

"Exceptor, aren't these the guards beside His Highness?"

Cheng Chong has been following Chu Yan all day long, and they have long remembered his appearance. At this time, Cheng Chong was gagged, his eyes seemed to be blinded by something, and he couldn't help but shed tears.

"He actually found this place, these untouchables."

Ma Chaoyang showed a fierce expression. This was the person next to the prince, and he could never let him go back alive.

Seeing Ma Chaoyang's expression, the man approached him and lowered his voice and said, "It's better to do it and throw it on the road. No one will know that we did it."

"Keep your hands and feet clean, and you must not let the prince see any clues."

Ma Chaoyang raised his foot and kicked Cheng Chong, and something unexpected happened at this time. Cheng Chong, who had been tied up just now, had already broken free from his shackles at some point. Although he could not see it with his eyes, he had already found it with the help of his ears. Arrive at Ma Chaoyang's location.

He stood up neatly, quickly pulled out the long knife of the guard on the side, and took Ma Chaoyang hostage in a blink of an eye.

"Outside the horsemen, if you don't want to die, let them retreat."

Cheng Chong's knife approached Ma Chaoyang's neck, and Ma Chaoyang could only tell those people to retreat: "Still not retreating!"

Having said that, he did not forget to talk to Cheng Chong: "Guard Cheng, it's all a misunderstanding. We have something to talk about."

Cheng Chong ignored him and held him hostage and returned to the dark room. He still had one thing left to get, so he couldn't leave at this time, otherwise all his previous efforts would be wasted.

Ma Chaoyang watched his movements and made a gesture with his hand hanging on the side. Suddenly, a long arrow came through the wind and headed towards Cheng Chong's eyebrows. At this moment, a crossbow arrow came from the other side. Come, penetrate the long arrow, and save Cheng Chong.

The sound of galloping horses was heard in the distance, and a man roared: "Ma Chaoyang, you are so brave!"

Ying Dong came with people. He saw Chu Yan beside him, but Chu Yan shook his head slightly at him, so he didn't say much.

He changed out of Chu Yan's clothes and wore a guard uniform with a mask covering his face, looking quite imposing.

"On the order of His Highness, I came to capture Ma Chaoyang. Get him for me!"

He raised his hand, and the black-armored guard behind him stepped forward to fight with Ma Chaoyang's men. Ma Chaoyang didn't expect that things would develop beyond his expectation. He was cruel, and when Cheng Chong couldn't see it, he took out The dagger in his sleeve stabbed his arm. Cheng Chong felt pain, and his hand relaxed for a moment. At the critical moment, Ma Chaoyang rolled into the dark room. The door of the dark room fell in front of Cheng Chong, isolating everyone.

Chu Yan came out of the darkness. The black-armored guards had already restrained Ma Chaoyang's men, making them unable to move.

"Your Highness."

Cheng Chong walked over and almost hit the black armored guard's knife, but Ying Dong helped him.

"Go back and heal."

The man looked at the closed darkroom door and said something calmly. Ying Dong asked, "What about Ma Chaoyang?"

I don’t know where this dark room will lead. What if he escapes?

"Take Gu's warrant and return to Yunzhou City, and order the city to be closed, including Qingmu Town."

No matter where the darkroom road leads, as long as he leaves Qingmu Town, he can only take the only road, which is the road to Yunzhou City.

Not long after Ying Dong left, Cui Ying woke up. She had been dreaming these past few days, so she didn't let Amber keep watch.

She walked to the window and looked at the bright lights outside, wondering what had happened.

Holding her own jade plaque in her hand, she was actually worried that she had mistrusted Li Ruiliang, but he could tell the words engraved on the jade plaque. This was indeed the only thing she took with her when she was sent to Yunzhou. thing.

Half of the jade tablets were engraved with half of the Chinese character Ying, and the other half was missing.

So she wanted to take a gamble, and if she won, she would be truly free.

"Cui Ying, we have to leave now."

When the door was pushed open, Li Ruiliang also walked over from the outside. He was covered in blood and had a murderous coldness. Cui Ying walked over and saw Amber falling to the ground. She breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, she was just knocked unconscious.

"Mr. Li? Didn't you say three days later?"

It's only been a day, why are you in such a hurry?
"Ma Chaoyang's secret room was discovered by the prince. He ran away. The prince ordered the city to be closed. The warrant will be in Cui Yunliang's hands at the latest. We have to leave before the time, otherwise we will not be able to get out once the city is closed."

After Li Ruiliang finished speaking briefly, he walked aside and handed her her cloak: "It's too late to say more. I have prepared everything. I will send you to Dongyi Kingdom now."

Fortunately, they were in Qingmu Town, not far from Dongyi Country. If they left at this time, they could leave before the complete blockade.

"Okay, sir, wait a moment."

Cui Ying didn't ask any more questions. She put on her cloak and tied up her black hair with a hairband. Then, she lowered her eyes at the purple jade bracelet and colorful rope on her wrist, and took it off without any hesitation and placed it on the dressing table.

These are Chu Yan's things, they don't belong to her, and she won't take them away.

Li Ruiliang took her out through the back door, and the two of them walked non-stop towards the edge of Qingmu Town. They thought they could get out of the city smoothly, but they saw Chu Yan's black-armored guards at the border.

They were his personal guards, only at his disposal. Cui Ying had never seen this black-armored guard before.

"It's better to be a little late. Don't be afraid. We'll go another way, but it'll be a little harder."

Li Ruiliang said in a deep voice, Cui Ying shook her head and said: "I'm not afraid, but sir, for helping me, who are you repaying for your kindness?"

How could this kindness be so important that he had to risk his life?

He took a deep breath and spoke slowly: "It's your grandma, I owe her a lot."

 Chu Yan returned home: Where is my wife? Where is my sweet-smelling and soft wife?
