Chapter 274 Su Jixue prepares to cause a disturbance in the Cining Palace
The night is coming to an end.
The East City Gate, which had been tightly closed, opened for a moment.
Eunuch Feng took the emperor's secret order and sent Zongkui away. When he saw Zongkui and his group disappear into the darkness, Eunuch Feng's face looked extremely ugly.
Whether he heard something he shouldn't have heard or sent Zong Kui away, it was like a sword hanging over his head.
The gates of Dongchu slowly closed, and Zongkui and his group finally breathed a sigh of relief. The tense Dongchu group had finally escaped danger, having barely managed to rescue the people they had captured.
Soon, in the darkness of night, carriages identical to the one Zong Kui rode split into three groups and sped away from the fork in the city, even the men were diverted away.
This is to prevent Dong Chu from realizing something is wrong and starting to chase.
Bei Su arranged all this, and his frown gradually relaxed.
At this moment, Su Jixue, who was chopped on the back of the neck by Chunya's hand knife, finally entered the state of soul separation.
The sound of hurried horse hooves was very loud in the quiet night.
Su Jixue's heart sank.
When he opened his eyes again, he was already in the carriage. Zong Kui was wrapped in a thick cloak, and his pale face looked like a dead person.
But those eyes were still sharp.
Su Jixue appeared by his side the first time, but she didn't expect that they would leave the capital so quickly.
Emperor Ming…!
It seems that she was right. Emperor Ming's throne was not legitimate, otherwise he would not have been threatened so quickly. He had no idea how to deal with the aftermath.
Su Jixue stood on Zongkui's carriage, just like when she was standing on Zhan Wang's carriage, her eyes flickering in the night.
Do you want to stop it?
The driver was Bei Su, and there were people riding horses in front and behind to lead the way.
At their speed, they really wanted to return to Nanqing immediately. Su Jixue frowned slightly. In fact, during the negotiations, they had missed the opportunity to kill Zong Kui. Before those negotiation conditions were fulfilled, even Su Jixue would not easily kill Zong Kui.
But they still left in such a hurry.
why?
Even as a soul, Su Jixue's eyelids seemed to be twitching unconsciously. Something bad must have happened to her.
There are changes in Nanqing!
The carriage was traveling too fast and was inevitably bumpy. Every time it bumped, Zong Kui couldn't help but cough violently.
"Master, do you want to slow down?!" Bei Su heard Zong Kui coughing in front of the carriage and couldn't help but want to slow down.
"No." Zong Kui said in a deep voice, "Otherwise we will be caught up."
"Master, they may not react." Bei Su had a natural disdain for Dong Chu. After all, in the eyes of those in power in Nanqing, Dong Chu was like a chessboard and chess pieces in the palm of their hands.
"Don't underestimate the King of War." Zong Kui's sinister voice came from inside the car.
It is impossible that Jun Wuzui did not make any arrangements at the city gate. Although Eunuch Feng used other excuses and Zong Kui did not get off the carriage, this abnormal incident itself would definitely attract the attention of King Zhan.
"I understand." Bei Su frowned again and whipped the horse pulling the carriage hard.
The speed of the carriage increased again.
At this moment, Zong Kui fiercely pulled off the pendant hanging around his neck and threw it away.
Su Jixue was startled and flew to the ground along with the pendant. She stood quietly in front of the pendant, looking at the pendant thrown on the ground with an ugly expression.
This is Emperor Jing's life lamp, and this is Zongkui's promise to her.
But now he was directly thrown away by Zongkui.
Emperor Jing...
Su Jixue felt a sudden pain in her heart. The child who had been calling her sister, sister... was dead!
He is obviously an emperor, but every time Ji Xue appears, he acts like a child and keeps calling her sister.
Even Ji Xue would feel something was amiss as Emperor Jing grew older, not to mention those court officials who already disliked Ji Xue.
However, when the court officials gave him advice, the young Emperor Jing rejected them with domineering force.
Anything involving Ji Xue is not allowed to be reported.
This is also one of the reasons why Ji Xue is notorious. Everyone thinks she is a witch who brings disaster to the country.
Emperor Jing grew up under Ji Xue's care. Although he was called a younger brother, he was more like a child.
And now, Emperor Jing is dead!
Su Jixue squatted down and wanted to pick up Emperor Jing's life lamp pendant, but no matter how hard she tried, it was in vain.
Su Jixue stood up, took a deep breath, and watched Zong Kui's men who were responsible for the aftermath clearing up all traces along the way.
On the pretty face, those sparkling and affectionate peach blossom eyes were now filled with murderous intent.
No!
Zongkui’s life must be saved!
A murderous look flashed in Su Jixue's eyes. She could give up those bamboo poles, but if Emperor Jing died, Zong Kui would never live a moment longer.
Su Jixue turned around and went in the opposite direction of Zongkui's carriage.
She had to go back quickly before it would work.
The moment they passed the city gate, Su Jixue saw that the gate that had been closed opened again, and Master Huo rushed out directly with the Owl Camp.
Su Jixue knew that this was the first time the War King reacted after receiving the news.
With Master Huo around, Su Jixue finally had an outlet for the anger that she had been unable to control. As someone born in the Great Wilderness Mountain, the ability to pursue was definitely incomparable to that of ordinary people.
She tiptoed and rushed directly to the top of the city wall.
Su Jixue could feel that her range of activities seemed to be getting wider and wider after she left her soul. Before, when she was in the palace, there seemed to be restrictions, and she could only move back and forth between the Queen Mother and Zong Kui.
But this time, perhaps because he had already left the palace, he could actually be in the capital...
Do not!
Su Jixue then realized that she could not move freely. She could only follow the route that Zong Kui's carriage had taken just now.
Soon, Su Jixue returned to the palace.
What was different this time was that Su Jixue's soul was directly sucked away before she returned to her dormitory.
Su Jixue suddenly sat up, got up from the ground and rushed out.
"Miss."
Chunya, who was napping outside, noticed the movement and quickly followed.
"I'm going to the Golden Palace to find King Zhan. There's no time to lose, so I'll have to go over the wall." Su Jixue didn't want to report to the people in the Cining Palace anymore.
Su Jixue said this and flew directly to the palace.
Chunya is following quickly.
But when the two were about to leave, they were stopped by an old eunuch hiding in the shadows: "Miss Su, this Cining Palace is not a place where you can come and go as you please."
"In an emergency, I have to make the decision. I just received an urgent news and need to report it to the Golden Palace." Su Jixue felt that the old eunuch should be the palace guard of the Cining Palace. Even she could not tell the depth of his martial arts skills.
"Miss Su, you're joking. You haven't had any contact with anyone in the Cining Palace. How could you have received such urgent news?" The old eunuch stood firmly in front of Su Jixue, obviously not intending to let her go.
"I don't have time to waste right now." Su Jixue looked at the old eunuch in front of her, her eyes full of hostility. She said directly to Chunya, "Go, bring me my bronze gong. Since you won't let me out, I'll ask the War King to come find me!"
