Chapter 185
When he came back to his senses, his eyes fell heavily on the man who hadn't stepped out of the door in the future.

At such a critical moment, the emperor's first thought was still Murong Fengyuan——

It's not that there are no other capable people in the court, it's really... this man is so dazzling that he completely covers up the brilliance of others, the emperor didn't think that other people were inevitable.

To reverse the situation at the border, sending him to lead troops is the most appropriate choice; but what about Ye Heng?After all, Murong Fengyuan doesn't know how to separate himself. If he takes care of one side, he can't take care of the other side. But what makes people worry is that both sides are equally important.

At the border between Xiling Kingdom and Mingluo Empire, there is only one Luming Valley, which is a natural fortress. After passing through Luming Valley, there are few steep mountains and steep rivers until the imperial city, but mainly plains. Now Luming Valley has been taken over. The enemy army is occupied, without the natural moat as a reliance, it will be easier for the enemy army to continue to attack. Although it will not be able to attack the imperial city immediately, but the towns along the way will be broken. Only retreat.

As for Ye Heng and his daughter, if they are allowed to escape and seek refuge in the enemy country, the stability of the Ming Luo Empire will be dealt a severe blow in the future...

What should I do? !

The emperor's face was ashen. He knew very well that it was definitely not a coincidence that these two events happened at the same time. The enemy country just wanted to make them feel uncomfortable...

At this moment, the high priest who had been silent all this time spoke up: "Your Majesty, why don't you let Feng Yuan lead his troops to suppress Xiling's invasion, which is also his duty; as for Ye's father and daughter, leave it to us." Let the temple do it."

"So good."

Hearing the high priest's speech, the emperor also breathed a sigh of relief.

Indeed, when it comes to tracking down assassinations, it is indeed the best choice for someone in the court to go to the Temple of Sacrifice and let the Temple of Sacrifice take action.

Thinking of this, the emperor ordered: "Murong Fengyuan!"

"The minister is here." The man turned around and saluted again.

"I order you to lead your troops to Luming Valley immediately, and you must drive the enemy troops out of the country."

"Yes!"

After watching the man's back stride away outside the Zichen Hall, the emperor looked away worriedly: "I wonder who the high priest is going to send there?"

"In terms of skills and martial arts, no one in the sacrificial hall is around Chuyue. It happened that Ye's collusion with the enemy and treason was the one who started the investigation, and now she continues to entrust it to her. What does the emperor think?"

"Of course it's good. It's not too late, the high priest will arrange it immediately."

……

Jun Chuyue didn't find it strange at all to receive this task——

As early as when she entered Shangshu's mansion and began to investigate, the high priest secretly ordered her to leave something on Ye Shangshu's body for tracking. She was worried that such things would happen, but she didn't expect to send it to Ye Shangshu. Useful.

At that time, the sun had just risen, and she was preparing to continue teaching the little girls who had just entered the temple as usual. After getting the news, she turned back and started preparations without saying a word. The Zhaoyeyu lion horse given to her.

To do a good job, you must first sharpen your tools. The Zhaoyeyu Lion Horse is not comparable to ordinary horses in terms of speed or endurance. She believes that it is fully capable of making up for the time gap spent in the process.

And the Zhaoyeyu Lion Horse also seemed to know what she was thinking in the bottom of her heart. As soon as the girl stepped onto its back, it immediately hissed and galloped out.

gallop all the way.

At the same time, Murong Fengyuan also set off with his troops. The army went out, and naturally followed the official path; while Jun Chuyue took a small path. Although the prison robbers were cautious, there would always be some clues left behind. Relying on the skills practiced in the temple, he traced the past along the way.

So even though she and Murong Fengyuan were going in the same direction, they never met each other.

……

Flowing Moon City.

This is a common town located in the direction of Xiling Kingdom. That evening, a group of people dressed as merchants appeared at the gate of the city.

"Stop!" The soldiers guarding the city stopped them, "Where did they come from?"

There was a message from the imperial city that two court felons had escaped from the prison. Anyone who entered or exited must be strictly interrogated regardless of whether they were familiar with it or not. The soldier asked and took a portrait for comparison.

The portrait was painted by Ye Shangshu.

A stooped old man at the back of the merchant glanced at the portrait from a distance, then quickly lowered his head, the movement was seen by the soldiers, and he immediately shouted: "You, raise your head!"

"My lord, my lord, that's the villain's old father. I haven't seen the world, so don't worry about it." The leading merchant hurriedly apologized with a smile, while turning around to greet him: "Father, my lord has no malicious intentions, just raise your head and let them see it." Look, let's go to the city and settle down early."

Following the words, the old man raised his head, revealing a weather-beaten face full of ravines.

City guard soldier: "..."

After confirming again and again that there were no faces in the portraits among this group of people, he waved his hand and let them go: "Okay, let's go in. Be careful, the interrogation has been strict recently, and don't make any mistakes."

"Yes Yes Yes."

This group of merchants quickly nodded and bowed and agreed, and settled down in a relatively remote inn after entering the city.

"This is our last day at the inn."

The leading merchant said coldly: "Tomorrow, we will purchase all the supplies we need on the road in this city, and then we will not venture into the city again to avoid any accidents. We need to leave the Ming Luo Empire as quickly as possible. You prepare me."

He is none other than the leader of the man in black who robbed the prison that day, named Sang Luo.

In other words, this group of merchants were all disguised as men in black, and the old man with a stooped figure was disguised by Ye Heng.After listening to Sang Luo's words, he dared not have the slightest objection, and nodded hastily: "I know, I know, I have no objection, everything is up to you."

He knew very well that he was no longer Ye Shangshu, who had a high position and power back then, and even his life was in the hands of the other party, so why would he dare to disagree?

It's just that Yan'er... Yan'er has always been pampered and pampered. Even in the imperial city, she travels in soft sedan chairs.

……

Another seven days passed.

At that night, Sang Luo and the others stopped to rest in the mountains and forests. Although they were surrounded in the center, Ye Heng couldn't sleep at all. He was extremely depressed after running for several days and being frightened. The leather mask has also become so emaciated that its original face cannot be seen.

Sang Luo, who was on guard at night, squatted and fiddled with the fire, and sneered when he felt the sight behind him.

If this Ye Shangshu hadn't held important information in his hands, he wouldn't have traveled thousands of miles to manage the life and death of this kind of person!
