Chapter 142 Follow me back to the palace
Because Huangfu Ao was injured, he fell into a drowsy sleep after returning to the room.Yan Ruobing asked no one to disturb her, and she was going to take advantage of Huangfuao's rest time to leave without saying goodbye.

After waiting until the sun went down, Yan Ruobing took her things and left quietly.

Jing Xi has already prepared horses for her outside the city, so as long as she leaves the city smoothly, she can leave safely.

Yan Ruobing was dressed in men's clothes, so it was easy for her to leave the city.And Jingxi met her at the gazebo ten miles outside the city, and soon the two met with a secret signal.

"Cousin, pay attention to your own safety on the road, and be careful in everything!"

Jingxi handed over the horse to Yan Ruobing with her own hands, and then left quickly after giving instructions to avoid arousing suspicion.

Yan Ruobing nodded, got on the horse and quickly ran along the official road with a whip.

It wasn't until it was completely dark that Yan Ruobing slowed down, planning to find a farmhouse to rest and stay overnight before leaving.

Then, to her surprise, as soon as she walked out of a forest, she saw many torches burning in an open space not far ahead, and there were very noisy killing sounds continuously.

Yan Ruobing quickly stepped forward and hid behind a big tree to observe, and soon understood what was going on.

Not far ahead, there are more than [-] black-clothed masked men besieging and killing more than a dozen people from Qianji Palace.

Although those masked men in black couldn't tell where they came from, Yan Ruobing could still recognize the clothes of the people in Qianji Palace at a glance.

"What's going on? Why did people from Qianji Palace appear here? Didn't Shangguan Yuanyi say that they have retired?"

Seeing the people from Qianji Palace appearing and being surrounded and killed, Yan Ruobing was suddenly full of doubts.

Soon, more than a dozen people from Qianji Palace were surrounded and killed, leaving only three or four people, and those three or four were also seriously injured.But the man in black on the other side lost less than one-third.

Yan Ruobing has been hiding behind a tree to observe, seeing that all the people in Qianji Palace are about to be killed, then he throws a few smoke bombs, and then rescues the last person from Qianji Palace who is dying.

After taking that person away, Yan Ruobing found a safe place to stop, trying to find out something from the only survivor.

Then, the man was seriously injured, almost to the point of dying.

"Persist, tell me, what is the origin of those men in black who killed you just now? Where are the other people in your palace?"

Seeing that this person was dying, Yan Ruobing anxiously asked a few questions.

"It's...it's the second...the killer of the second prince wants...to drive us away...to kill us all."

After holding his breath and finishing speaking, the man immediately bled black blood from the corner of his mouth and closed his eyes.

Although she only knew a little information, Yan Ruobing's mood was still very complicated.

As soon as she left, Huangfu Fei's people had already started to attack, and the next person he was going to deal with was definitely Huangfu Ao.

It must be very dangerous for Huangfu Ao to stay alone in Yelang City.

Thinking of this, Yan Ruobing was still worried, so she didn't go far, but prepared to disguise herself and hide to observe the situation.

Before dawn, Yan Ruobing hurried back to Yelang City, but unexpectedly ran into Shangguan Yuanyi under the city gate.

Shangguan Yuanyi seemed to be waiting for someone, and had been waiting at the gate of the city. When he saw Yan Ruobing coming on horseback, his eyes suddenly flashed with doubt.

"Yuanyi, it's me, Bai Bing, why are you here?"

Seeing Shangguan Yuanyi, Yan Ruobing jumped off the horse, walked up to Shangguan Yuanyi three steps at a time, and asked suspiciously.

"Didn't you ask me to wait for you here? Also, how did you come back from outside the city?"

Shangguan Yuanyi also had a puzzled expression on his face, as if he was very puzzled.

After hearing Shangguan Yuanyi's words, Yan Ruobing was even more puzzled, and said, "What did you say? I asked you to wait here for me? Impossible!"

"Look at this note!"

Shangguan Yuanyi directly took out a note from his sleeve and handed it to Yan Ruobing. It did say what time he was asked to wait at the gate of the city.

After reading the note, Yan Ruobing seemed to realize something, clapped her hands and shouted loudly: "No! We may have been tricked! Get out of here!"

After speaking, Yan Ruobing was ready to leave.

However, it was too late, many torches were suddenly lit on the city tower, and the city gate was opened immediately, and two teams of troops rushed out of the city to surround them.

Yan Ruobing frowned and looked at everything in front of her, but she still didn't understand in her heart, she didn't know who was plotting against her.

At this moment, Huangfu Ao walked out from the crowd, seeing Yan Ruobing and Shangguan Yuanyi, his expression became much more gloomy.

"You guys are going to elope when you meet in this way?"

Huangfuao's tone seemed a little indifferent, and he even looked a little disappointed when he looked at Yan Ruobing.

Yan Ruobing didn't explain, but she knew that someone must be plotting against her and Shangguan Yuanyi behind this, deliberately causing Huangfu Ao to misunderstand them, and even causing conflicts between the three of them.

"Things are not what you think, this is a trap designed by someone."

Although Yan Ruobing didn't speak, Shangguan Yuanyi couldn't bear it. He was tricked once for no reason, and he felt unhappy no matter what.

Huangfu Ao shifted his gaze to Shangguan Yuanyi, and then said indifferently: "I think we should talk alone."

After finishing speaking, Huangfu Ao turned around and walked up the tower, Shangguan Yuanyi also followed, while Yan Ruobing was blocked under the tower.

Yan Ruobing didn't know what they talked about, but she waited under the tower for more than half an hour.

It wasn't until the sky turned pale that Huangfu Ao walked down from the tower alone.

"Let's go back!"

Huangfuao walked up to Yan Ruobing's side, took her hand, and led her into the city as if relieved of a heavy burden.

After that night, Shangguan Yuanyi did not appear again, as if he had disappeared, and there was no news from the entire Qianji Palace.

Back in Yelang City, Huangfu Ao did not take Yan Ruobing back to the pharmacy, but lived in a large courtyard.

Yan Ruobing also asked Huangfu Ao about Shangguan Yuanyi, wanting to know what they talked about last night.But Huangfuao kept his mouth shut and kept changing the subject.

In desperation, Yan Ruobing didn't ask any more questions, but quietly waited for Huangfuao's arrangement.

It was around noon that Huangfu Ao came back from outside.After returning, he was too busy to rest for a while, so he ran directly to find her.

"Bing'er, I'm going back to the capital, and you have to go back with me."

Yan Ruobing was a little overwhelmed by Huangfu Ao's first words, and asked in surprise, "I'll go back with you? What kind of identity does the lord think I should go back with?"
