Fengming Chen Palace

Chapter 333

Seeing Xuanyuan Qi's gesture, the servant stabilized his mind, and then he spoke again, "Report to the lord, the method that the servant thought of must be foolproof, but it's just that you have to wrong the lord."

"Say it quickly." Frowning impatiently, Xuanyuan Qi glared at the servant.

"Yes, the slave's method is to make you pretend to be a dead person and send you out of the border city in a coffin."

"Presumptuous, what is the identity of the prince, how can you use such an unlucky method?" Before he finished speaking, someone interrupted the servant.

Xuanyuanqi glanced at him, waved his hand, and then looked at the servant who had spoken before, motioning for him to continue.

When he was scolded, the servant's face turned pale, he was afraid that he would offend Xuanyuan Qi and be beheaded by him.

Seeing that he let himself continue talking now, he felt relieved and continued to speak.

"There are portraits of you everywhere in this city. Even if you are disguised, there is always a certain resemblance. It is hard to guarantee that you will not be interrogated. If you pretend to be a dead person, you don't have to worry about it."

"I will make some hands and feet for you in the coffin so that you can breathe in it. Even if the soldiers guarding the city search, it is impossible for people to open the coffin. In this way, you can be transported out safely. Do you want to go to the border Outside, or anywhere else, it’s fine.”

Speaking out all his methods, the servant breathed carefully, waiting for Xuanyuanqi to speak.

"What's your name?" Xuanyuanqi looked at him and asked.

"If you go back to the lord, the slave is called Zhang Ji." He opened his mouth quickly, and Zhang Ji responded that he had been in the Chu family for many years and had always wanted to find a suitable opportunity to show his ability, but unfortunately, there was no such opportunity.

Along the way, he continued to look for opportunities, and now, he finally found them.

"Zhang Ji? Very good. From now on, you will be by my king's side and serve him. It's not too late. Now you take people to buy things."

Nodding his head, Xuanyuan Qi ordered, Zhang Ji was overjoyed, and after responding, he led the people to prepare the necessary things.

"My lord, is this all right?" After Zhang Ji left, someone stood up and spoke hesitantly.

"Whether it's proper or not, you can't stay here any longer. Otherwise, with just a few people, wouldn't you want to catch them without a fight?"

Thinking about it now, this is the only way, Xuanyuan Qi has made up his mind, and it is difficult for others to say anything.

Soon, Zhang Ji came back. From the coffin to the mourning clothes, he needed everything.

"At this time today, I'm afraid I won't be able to leave the city. After all, there are no funerals at night. Let's leave the border early tomorrow morning when the city gate just opens. My lord, where do you want to go?"

Looking at Xuanyuanqi, Zhang Ji asked, Xuanyuanqi thought about it, and hatred flashed in his eyes, "This king wants to leave Daxing. If this king doesn't get this throne, he will be destroyed!"

With only the remaining people of his, it would be as difficult as heaven to pull Emperor Chen from the throne, so some other methods had to be used.

After thinking about it, the only way to do it is to find a few powerful countries around Daxing.

"Leave a few people and let the rest leave the border quietly. This king will find a place to stay first and wait for them to arrive."

Looking at his confidant, Xuanyuanqi gave orders, everyone nodded, and prepared separately, only waiting for tomorrow's dawn.

In the general's mansion, Shen Xiao came in from outside the mansion and walked with big strides, while Gu Sheng was nestled in the room reading a book.

Since she stayed, she always had to read more military books. She had too little experience in actual combat, so she had to fill her mind with as much as possible, so that she would be able to use it when something happened.

There was a knock on the door, and she knew that Shen Xiao had come back, so she stood up, and she went to the door and opened it.

"How?" After Shen Xiao entered the room, Gu Sheng closed the door and asked with concern.

"There is no news yet, and I don't know if he is in the border city." After sitting down, Gu Sheng poured a cup of hot water for Shen Xiao, and Shen Xiao took it and responded.

"Let's look for it again. If there is no... let's say there is no more." Gu Sheng nodded and sat on a chair beside him. "How is the situation outside recently? Are those small tribes still ready to move?"

In the past, those small tribes united and harassed the border guards constantly. Originally, Shen Xiao wanted to deal with them, but they were too cunning, so he had no choice but to go around with them.

"It's getting colder and colder, and the Chinese New Year will be approaching in a few months. If they really take action, it will be soon." Shen Xiao took a sip of water, thinking of those small tribes, he felt a headache.

It is not worthwhile to take action to exterminate them. If you don't do it, you will be harassed by them from time to time. Although it is not painful, it is annoying.

"Then wait a little longer. If it doesn't work, just clean up a few. It's like killing chickens and monkeys." So many small tribes, it takes a lot of effort to clean them all up.

If taking advantage of this opportunity, other neighboring countries have ideas, it will be detrimental to the border.

After Gu Sheng finished speaking, Shen Xiao responded, and the two chatted for a while before Shen Xiao left.

After he left, Gu Sheng went back to the chair where he was studying and sat down again. She glanced at the bed, and there were unfinished needlework on it.

Looking away, Gu Sheng read the book again.

The day passed quickly, and the sky was bright. A coffin was transported from a family's home in the northwest border, and the accompanying people were all dressed in sackcloth, with white filial belts tied around their waists.

Some people stayed, but they did not continue to live in this yard, but scattered around, looking for places to hide.

The rest of the people pushed the coffin onto the cart and headed towards the city gate.

The gate of the city has been opened, and a group of people came to the gate and were stopped by the guards.

"Master Jun, please be accommodating, let us transport the master's coffin out of the city for burial."

Zhang Ji stepped forward and chatted with the soldiers guarding the city. The soldiers looked at him and then at the coffins on their carts, as if hesitant.

"How did the person in the coffin die?" After a while, the soldier asked.

"When returning to the military master, he suffered a sudden illness and passed away before the doctor came to see him. Our master is still young!" Having said that, Zhang Ji stretched out his hand and wiped the tears on his face.

Seeing him like this, the soldiers guarding the city moved aside so that Zhang Ji and others could carry the coffin out.

Zhang Ji was overjoyed. After thanking him, he ordered people to move on. Unexpectedly, it went so smoothly.

Except for a few of them, no one knew that Xuanyuanqi had wandered out of the city just like that.

The sky gradually brightened, and the officers and soldiers in charge of the search continued their previous tasks. They arrived at a house and knocked on the door, but no one opened the door.

Several soldiers looked at each other and opened the gate. The courtyard was in a mess, and many things were still on the ground.

This courtyard was the place where Xuanyuan Qi and others lived before. Some soldiers searched around and felt that this place was strange.

Hastily ordered people to report to the general's mansion, some people are guarding here, and the rest will continue to investigate.
