Reborn Lady's Scheming

Chapter 299: Situ Lei is going to be cruel!
Xie Wanqing and Akabane entered the city smoothly all the way, because it was early in the morning, there were not many people on the main road in the city, Xie Wanqing and Akabane followed the passers-by to the secluded path.

After a while, the two walked into a narrow alley, and saw that there were high walls standing all around, and some discarded and broken items scattered on the ground, Xie Wanqing felt a little relieved, and Akabane Sit aside and rest.

Of the two of them, one of them had not recovered from his illness, and the other was still wounded. It was a bit strenuous to walk for most of the day.

Xie Wanqing glanced outside and saw that the street was still sparse, so she leaned against the cool wall and said in a low voice: "It seems that Xiangyang City is much more heavily guarded than I thought."

Akabane also nodded, thinking of the situation just now, couldn't help feeling a little bit scared.

"It seems that Situ Lei is really going to do something ruthless this time. He wishes he could catch us all, so that he can rest easy." Xie Wanqing rubbed her legs, a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes, "However, it's not that simple."

"Then what are you going to do, master?" Chi Yu turned his head to look at her, but he couldn't see Xie Wanqing's expression hidden in his messy hair at this time.

"My brother and the prince are both trapped in the city, our immediate priority is to sneak into the Xiangyang Palace."

"Enter Xiangyang Prince's Mansion?" Chi Yu wondered if he heard it wrong when he heard this, "My master is going to this Xiangyang Palace to..."

A thought suddenly flashed in Akabane's mind, and he looked at Xie Wanqing in surprise, but Xie Wanqing happened to cast his gaze over, and when his eyes met, Akabane immediately understood.

"Yes, that's what you're thinking now." Xie Wanqing nodded, "Xiangyang City is heavily guarded now, if we run around in this street, we might be spotted at any time, so why not go to the Xiangyang Prince's Mansion Seeing Cui Wenxiao, maybe we can learn some useful news."

"Miss Cui..." Chi Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Would Miss Cui really know?"

Xie Wanqing shook her head, feeling uncertain, "Although she is in the Xiangyang Palace, she is the eldest concubine of the Xiangyang Palace. But I am afraid that the current situation is not satisfactory. If you want to know the specific situation of the elder brother and the prince, If you ask her, you definitely don’t know, but if it’s something else, maybe she will know.”

Hearing this, Akabane couldn't help sighing, "It's really a trick of good fortune."

Xie Wanqing held her breath at this time, and the image of Cui Wenxiao in red saying goodbye to her appeared in her mind. Now she is in Xiangyang City, and the distance between Cui Wenxiao and Cui Wenxiao is only a high wall. But this feeling is really like a world away.

With a wry smile to himself, Xie Wanqing stood up slowly, and said, "Let's go, I'm afraid people will be suspicious if you stay here all the time. Today, we're going around the city of Xiangyang, and it's important to get some news."

Akabane responded, still pretending to be a girl, and reached out to support Xie Wanqing.The two walked slowly towards the street outside, but they didn't want to bump into the patrolling army just as they stepped out of the alley.

Xie Wanqing's eyes constricted for a while, she stretched out her hand to cover her face, her chest heaved for a while, she staggered to the side, and coughed while supporting the pillar.

Seeing this, Akabane also had an anxious look on his face, he hurriedly stood aside and gently patted Xie Wanqing's junior, completely ignoring the patrolling army walking towards him.

Damn it, why did I meet these people as soon as I got out of the alley?

Xie Wanqing cursed in her heart, frowned tightly and leaned against the side pillar, looking powerless.

The inspectors appearing here at this time, I am afraid that the further they go into the city, the stricter they will become. Judging from this posture, they will not let anyone on the street be spared. Since they cannot escape, they can only wait and see what happens.

Akabane also expected it in her heart, and continued to support Xie Wanqing limply, only waiting for the inspectors to approach.

Sure enough, when the people patrolling around saw the two of them standing there, they looked at Xie Wanqing's coughing face, they couldn't help but hesitated, and walked over with strides.

"Hey, what's going on!" I saw a tall guard who looked like a guard standing in front of the two of them.

Akabane was stunned for a moment, with some traces of grievance in front of him, and said: "Grandma is sick, and I came to the city this time to take grandma to see a doctor."

His voice was just right, and he also specially learned the official dialect of Xiangyang when he was on the road. At this time, there was no sense of disobedience when he said it, and he was a person from outside Xiangyang city.

The guard had already evaded Xie Wanqing's cough, but when he heard Chi Yu's words, he asked perfunctorily: "What's wrong, this cough is terrible."

"The old gentleman in the village said that it might be... maybe it's a lung disease..." Akabane's voice became more and more aggrieved, and he said, "Master, you should go a little further."

"Lung disease?" The man's eyes widened immediately, and when he realized it, he hurriedly covered his mouth and nose, waved his hands and said, "Hurry up, hurry up, it's really terrible."

After finishing speaking, she hurriedly let Xie Wanqing and Akabane leave with a look of disgust.

Seeing Xie Wanqing and Akabane approaching, the inspectors in front wanted to go up and stop them for questioning, but they were yelled at by the people behind: "Let them go!"

The man paused, and didn't reach out to stop Xie Wanqing, he just waved his hand to let the two of them pass by.

Xie Wanqing secretly laughed in her heart, and walked towards the city while holding Akabane's arm.The two turned around a few alleys, Xie Wanqing looked up and saw a pharmacy, but when she glanced away, she saw the teahouse opposite the pharmacy.

Rolling her eyes, Xie Wanqing turned sideways and said to Akabane: "Do you still have the prescription Su Wen wrote a few days ago?"

Akabane was stunned, thought for a while and said: "It seems that there is another one for treating wind and cold, master, why do you suddenly ask about this?"

"It's easy to deal with. Let's go to the pharmacy." Xie Wanqing stepped forward, but Akabane didn't understand her intention, so he had to follow her in.

The shop is not very big, and there is only one man who looks like a clerk sitting outside basking in the sun. Seeing the two of them walk in, he looked up and down and said, "It's a bit of a coincidence if you two come to see a doctor. That's right, the doctor just went out, and he's not here right now."

Xie Wanqing hunched over, with a humble look on her face, she said: "Don't look at it, we're here to grab medicine."

"Oh, that's easy." The young man responded, "Bring me the prescription."

Hearing this, Akabane hurriedly took out the prescription from his cuff and handed it to the little brother.

The little brother took the prescription, turned around and grabbed the medicine from the medicine cabinet in front of him.Seeing his movement, Xie Wanqing rolled her eyes, pretending to be casual and said: "Why is it so difficult to enter the city now, this morning scared my old lady to death."

Hearing this, the little boy said with a sympathetic look: "Hey, you are from outside, don't you know that something happened in this city."

"Oh? We are from a village, we really don't know." Xie Wanqing's heart sank, and she looked at the boy with a surprised expression on her face.

"I heard that some one-armed prisoner ran out of Xiangyang Prince's Mansion? The prince was furious because of this matter, and he is searching the whole city. You can still enter the city in the next few days. Maybe even this city will be blocked at any time. It's over." The young man weighed the medicinal ingredients, but he had a look of lingering fear on his face.

One-armed criminal?
Could it be that my brother ran out of Xiangyang Palace?
Xie Wanqing couldn't help but feel happy when she heard this. If her brother really ran out of Xiangyang Palace, she must have not left the city yet. If she can find Xie Zi'an, then Xuanyuan Jue's whereabouts will probably be known.

It's just that, how can my brother, a one-armed man, escape from the layers of pursuit in this city?

While Xie Wanqing was overjoyed, she couldn't help feeling faintly worried about Xie Zian.

"Okay, old man, your medicine." The boy wrapped the medicine and handed it to Akabane.

Akabane put the silver on the counter, picked up the medicine and thanked the boy, then left the shop with Xie Wanqing.

"This city is so heavily guarded, I'm afraid other than arresting us, it is more important to arrest Master Xie." Chi Yu pondered for a while, and began to worry about Xie Zi'an's safety in his heart.

Xie Wanqing nodded, "Right now, we still need to find brother's hiding place quickly, I hope he hasn't left the city yet..."

The two made up their minds, and headed all the way to the location of Xiangyang Prince's Mansion.

At this time, compared to the stable situation in the city, the small town outside the city is much more flustered.As soon as Situ Lei showed up with his troops, he immediately turned the small town upside down. I'm afraid it won't be long before he arrives at the inn where Lingshu and Suwen are.

"Situ Lei is right in front of us, I'm afraid we won't be able to run away now." Su Wen looked down from the half-closed window, and saw neatly guards passing through the alleyway behind the house, he couldn't help being startled.

"Oh, if you can't run away, you can't run away. At worst, you will die!" Lingshu gritted his teeth, put down the veil for wiping his sword, and raised the sword in his hand to take a look. The bright light reflected Lingshu's murderous aura. face, "Su Wen, are you afraid?"

"Afraid?" Su Wen shook his head, his originally calm face showed a few traces of death-defying expressions, and said, "What do I have to be afraid of?"

"Well, today, let them see how powerful we are." Lingshu put the sword back into the scabbard, and listened carefully to the movement in his ear.

There was a sudden knock on the door, which instantly broke the peace in the room.Lingshu and Su Wen were taken aback for a moment, and looked at each other, Lingshu nodded, stood quietly with his sword drawn, and walked towards the door.

The moment the door was opened, a cold light flashed in front of Lingshu's eyes, and he immediately drew his sword and pointed at the person outside the door.

In the nick of time, life and death are at stake!
