Chapter 29

There was a great chaos in the palace, no one noticed Su Hailing and his party, who were wearing the uniforms of servants and guards, let them leave the palace smoothly through the side door, and the two guards guarding the gate kept their eyes on each other, as if they didn't see it .

"Your people?" Su Hailing whispered.

"Elder Sister arranges someone to pick us up." Yun Mo replied.

Su Hailing frowned slightly, and became wary of the "big sister" who appeared several times in his mouth. It seemed that their hidden power in the palace was greater than she imagined.

Leaving the palace without any surprise or danger, they found a hidden corner, quickly took off their coats, and dressed up like ordinary people.

Teams of city guards galloped into the city, drove the people on the streets back home, and immediately closed the roads to martial law.

Su Hailing pulled Haoyue and Situ Ye into a restaurant by the side of the road along with some ordinary people who couldn't escape.

"What should we do?" Situ Ye whispered.

"Follow me!" Yun Mo led the way with a straight face, and came to the backyard of the restaurant.

"Don't tell me, this restaurant is also opened by your people." Su Hailing laughed.

"If so, will I bring you here?" Yun Mo sneered, but opened the corner door in the backyard of the restaurant, "Hurry up, I'm afraid the city gate will be closed soon!"

"You took advantage of this moment to make a move, just to get out before closing the city?" Su Hailing said.

"Although the city gate is closed, you can call it open, or you can climb over the wall, what does it matter." Yun Mo said without turning his head.

"I'm curious, who are you?" Su Hailing tentatively asked.

"Don't try to find out my origin, it's not good for you." Yun Mo said, stopped, looked around in front of a private house, and after confirming that no one was following him, he knocked on the door.

With a sound of "squeak", they drove away, and a trembling old woman came out with a cane. She looked at them for a long time with her faint old eyes, and then said in a hoarse voice, "Who are you looking for?"

"We are passing by, we are thirsty, and want to ask for a bowl of wine." Yun Mo replied.

"Come in." The old lady sized them up again before she made way.

Haoyue took a step forward and walked in in front of Su Hailing.

Su Hailing smiled faintly. Although she didn't stop her, she wasn't too worried. She had an intuition that Yun Mo wouldn't harm her, not just because the secret book was still in her hands.

The old woman closed the door and put the latch on, and she suddenly became more energetic, her old look disappeared, and her steps were even more agile than that of young people.

"Her martial arts are very good." Haoyue said softly.

Su Hailing nodded, but did not speak.

Yun Mo pushed away the altar in the main hall, groped on the ground for a while, grabbed an iron ring and lifted it up, only to see that a piece of the floor was pulled up, revealing a dark hole.

"Mr. Mo, everything you want is prepared at the exit, so be careful yourself," the old woman warned.

"Thank you, Grandma Long. After we leave, you should evacuate as soon as possible. The capital is not a place to stay for long." Yun Mo said.

"I'll figure it out myself." Long Po Po said.

"Hey, let's go!" Yun Mo turned around and said a few words, jumping out of the cave first.

Su Hailing and Haoyue looked at each other, jumped down one after the other, and finally took Situ Ye next.

Just hearing a "bang", the light above the head disappeared, and the surroundings were suddenly pitch black. Obviously, the dragon mother-in-law covered the hole again.

A ray of fire pierced the darkness, but it was Haoyue who ignited Huozhezi.

Immediately, Yun Mo also lit up the torch, and while leading the way ahead, he said, "Pay attention to your feet. Because it is underground in the capital, we can't make big moves, so some parts of this tunnel are very difficult to walk."

Su Hailing looked carefully at this passage of unknown length, but his heart felt even heavier.

"Since digging this tunnel is so difficult, can you let it out to us like this?" Haoyue asked.

"I don't think so!" Yun Mo hummed, dissatisfied, "If it wasn't for the eldest sister asking me to take you this way, she said it was the safest..."

"Who is the eldest sister? Is it your real sister?" Su Hailing asked.

"Big Sister is Big Sister, everyone calls her that." Yun Mo replied slyly.

Su Hailing frowned even deeper.

As the tunnel got deeper and deeper, the air underground became thinner and thinner.Haoyue has already extinguished the fire, leaving only a light in Yunmo's hand.

"Your Highness, I'm very uncomfortable." Situ Ye blushed and said.

"Don't talk, breathe slowly." Su Hailing said, holding his hand.

"Hmm." Situ Ye quietly looked at the solid back, although not wide, trying to adapt to the discomfort caused by lack of oxygen.

"How long will we go?" Haoyue couldn't help asking.

"Soon." Yun Mo's voice was also a little unsteady.

"Chi—" Because there was not enough air, the last fire was also extinguished.

He continued to move forward in the dark, and when everyone was about to be unable to support, Yun Mo suddenly stopped. Haoyue behind him hadn't adapted to the darkness yet, so he bumped into his back, and Su Hailing and Situ Ye also bumped into him.

"Get out of the way, I'm going to open the exit!" Yun Mo scolded in a low voice.

"No one reminds you to stop." Su Hailing complained while touching the sore bridge of his nose.

Yun Mo ignored her, raised his hands and groped on top of his head, and took a long while to lift up a stone slab.

Fresh air poured into the tunnel, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

Yunmo flipped onto the ground lightly, followed by Haoyue, and finally pulled Su Hailing and Situ Ye up.

The tunnel exit turned out to be a grove outside the city, and there were three horses tied not far away.

"Okay, let's part ways here, give me the secret, and give you the horse." Yun Mo untied a horse, walked over and said, "I didn't know you brought an extra person, so there are only two horses , you can do whatever you want."

"Thank you, Yunmo." Su Hailing smiled slightly, took out the secret folder and threw it to him.

Although it was just a transaction, what Yun Mo did was far beyond the transaction itself. Perhaps, they could already be called friends.

"Your Highness, the situation doesn't seem right." Haoyue looked at the flames in the city and said worriedly, "If it just caused a commotion to cover us out of the city, the commotion would be too big!"

Su Hailing looked back at Yun Mo.

"Elder Sister did say that she was just pretending to assassinate!" Yun Mo said anxiously, "You don't believe me?"

"I believe you." Su Hailing said, "It's just that your elder sister doesn't seem to believe you."

"You are talking nonsense! Eldest sister has always loved me the most!" Yun Mo was anxious, and flung the horsewhip in his hand casually.

Haoyue took a step forward, grabbed the horsewhip, and said in a deep voice, "I'm not mistaken, the capital is already in a state of complete martial law, even the imperial guards have been mobilized, what have you guys done?"

"Yue, it's none of his business." Su Hailing shook his head, signaled Haoyue to let go, and said, "Yunmo, let's part now. If there is a destiny, maybe we will meet again."

"Who wants to have a relationship with you? It's best not to see each other!" Yun Mo glared at her fiercely, got on his horse, and left in a hurry.

"Your Highness, but..." Haoyue said puzzled.

"Ye'er, do you want to go with us?" Su Hailing turned his head and said.

"No, if possible, can you give me a horse?" Situ Ye smiled confidently.

"Of course." Su Hailing stroked his hair reluctantly, and smiled, "Ye'er, I hope you are happy and happy."

"I will take good care of myself. I will borrow Your Highness's words. If there is a destiny, I may see you again." Situ Ye said.

Looking at the shadow of the horse going away, Haoyue finally couldn't help but said: "Your Highness, what are you thinking? What happened tonight is obviously out of control!"

"Yue, it's not the east wind blowing tonight." Su Hailing said suddenly.

"Huh?" Haoyue was taken aback, not knowing how to respond.

"It seems that all kinds of wind are blowing." Su Hailing laughed.

"If Your Highness doesn't want to take care of the affairs of the capital, let's leave quickly." Haoyue said.

"Okay." Su Hailing sighed, "I'm afraid that someone won't let us leave here."

"Who?" Almost at the same time, Haoyue also noticed the enemy around.

"Sister Hailing, it's so late, where do you want to go?" With a gentle voice, several figures came out from the darkness.
