Chapter 796: Favor, only living have hope

Tiancang Pavilion was in the business of buying and selling information. Their eyes were all over the world. In the past, they used to be wary of the four emperors of the four countries, and they restrain themselves from making a move to the imperial cities. But now the emperor of the east gave Tiancang Pavilion the greatest convenience to deal with Xiao Tianyao. If they want to find someone in the capital, no matter where that person hides, they can find him.

“So, there is nothing we can do? We can only sit here and wait for the emperor’s people to arrest us?” Lin Chujiu looked at the Shadow Guard Leader with calm eyes, without any anxiety or apprehension.

She was not a person who will admit defeat. Even if the situation was extremely unfavorable to her, she will not compromise easily.

The Shadow Guard Leader buried his head even lower: “Wangfei, this subordinate can try, but this subordinate cannot guarantee. It has been 2 hours since wangye was caught. We know this time is enough for the emperor and Tiancang Pavilion to find out the people we have placed in the capital.” If the emperor hadn’t cleared out their people, it might still be possible, but now?

He was not sure at all.

“Now I see why the emperor didn’t seal off the capital and Xiao Wangfu in the first place. It turned out that he wanted to take advantage of our ignorance to strike first.” Lin Chujiu suddenly realized, but then she was puzzled and said: “Since the emperor prepared so well, how did I get out of the palace?”

Before Lin Chujiu didn’t think about this issue, after all, she didn’t know how serious the matter was. Later, when she learned that Xiao Tianyao had an accident, she didn’t have time to think about it. But now… … she couldn’t let it aside.

The emperor thought of everything, how could he let her leave the palace?

As everyone knows, if she and Xiao Tianyao were taken down by the emperor, no one can order the Jinwuwei Army. The Jinwuwei Army will not dare to act rashly.

“This subordinate checked it secretly. The Third Prince held a helping hand and wet against the emperor’s order.” They also lost a lot of manpower in the palace. If the emperor didn’t deliberately reveal the news about Xiao Tianyao, they wouldn’t learn about it.

“Third prince? Is it to repay the life-saving grace?” The face of the third prince Xiao Zian flashed across Lin Chujiu’s mind and smiled mockingly.

She admitted that she has a good feeling for the third prince. Such a person cannot be hated, but not hating doesn’t mean they can become friends. She and the third prince were destined to be enemies.

However, for today’s matter, she accepted the help of the third prince.

The Shadow Guard Leader didn’t answer, and after a while, he reminded softly, “Wangfei, the forbidden army will come soon, please make a decision as soon as possible.” If she wants to leave, they must do it as soon as possible.

“Decision? What kind of decision can be made in this situation?” Lin Chujiu sneered, stood up, and said, “Let’s leave first. Even if Tiancang Pavilion has control over the world, I will try it.”

“This subordinate will do his best to keep wangfei safe and sound.” The Shadow Guard Leader said solemnly.

“What’s the use of me being safe and sound?” Lin Chujiu sighed and walked in front of Housekeeper Cao, then seriously said: “The people in the mansion, you have to take good care of them.”

If she left and the emperor failed to catch her, she doesn’t know how he will deal with the people in Xiao Wangfu.

She wants to arrange them properly, but the current situation doesn’t allow her to do so.

“Wangfei, don’t worry, this old slave will make good arrangements for the people in the mansion.” Housekeeper Cao was the only person in the mansion who knows what to do. He was very clear about what Lin Chujiu meant by departure. Under the current situation, Lin Chujiu must go. If she will not go, everyone might die. But if Lin Chujiu left, they may still have a way out.

Lin Chujiu nodded lightly: “The emperor’s people are here, no matter what they want to do, you all try your best to cooperate. Don’t resist, the most important thing is to save your life first. You have to trust wangye, wangye will come to save everyone.”

Lin Chujiu didn’t say any sorry, nor did she say anything about regrets. The current situation doesn’t allow her to think too much.

Only if she survives and rejoins the Jinwuwei Army can the servants of Xiao Wangfu have the possibility of survival.

“Wangfei, don’t worry, this old servant knows what to do.” Housekeeper Cao’s eyes were red, but he showed no sign of timidity.

They knew that such a day would come, but they didn’t expect it to come so soon and so suddenly.

Lin Chujiu nodded her head but didn’t say any more. She turned to face the Shadow Guard Leader: “Let’s go.” Now, they have no time to delay.

“Yes.” The Shadow Guard Leader followed immediately, and stepped forward after going out to guide Lin Chujiu, “Wangfei, this way.”

As soon as the two ran to a corner on the west side of Xiao Wangfu, the Shadow Guard Leader stepped forward and slapped hard on the blue brick wall, and they saw the blue brick wall slide to both sides, revealing a door that could allow an adult to pass through.

“Wangfei, this is the secret passage of the palace. If we go from here, no one will find out.” It was not easy to build a secret passage without the emperor’s knowledge. It took Xiao Tianyao several years to open such a secret passage that lead to the city.

“Wangye is really prepared.” Seeing this secret path, Lin Chujiu felt more likely to win.

She thought so too. Since Xiao Tianyao dared to lead troops here, how could it be possible that there was no arrangement at all? It was not Xiao Tianyao’s style to knock on the door carelessly.

“Wangye said that this secret path is the last retreat of the palace. It cannot be used unless it is necessary.” Because once it was used, it was tantamount to exposing the secret path. Even if the emperor can’t find the secret path for a while, he will be on guard.

Lin Chujiu didn’t speak. After the Shadow Guard Leader went in, she also walked into the secret passage. As soon as the two of them went down, the blue brick wall returned to its original state, without a trace of abnormality.

The secret passage was slender and narrow and there was a torch for lighting inside. Lin Chujiu followed behind the Shadow Guard Leader, so she didn’t have to worry about anything.

The secret passage was not too long, and after about two-quarters of an hour, the Shadow Guard Leader put out the torch: “Wangfei, we’re here.”

“Okay.” After the Shadow Guard Leader opened the exit, Lin Chujiu followed and climbed out.

As soon as she came out, she was in a room. The furniture looked half old and not new.

“Wangfei, there are clothes here. You change them first, and then burn the clothes on your body.” Although Lin Chujiu returned to the palace and changed clothes, her clothes were produced by Xiao Wangfu. No matter how simple they were, they were not something ordinary people can wear.

“Wangfei, this house is located in Xicheng District. The people in this house are wangye’s confidantes, so you can trust them.” The Shadow Guard Leader briefly introduced their environment, and then said: “Wangfei, while the emperor’s people haven’t responded, this subordinate wanted to go out and take advantage of it to see the situation outside, I wonder if it is possible?”

Although he wanted to stay and protect their princess, he couldn’t cut off contact with the outside world. He had to know what was going on outside, so he could think of a way to take their princess away.
