Chapter 423: Red Lotus

On this night, the illustrious Dugu family lit a raging fire, the firelight illuminated half of the holy capital, and the jumping flames were like strange and bewitching red lotuses, floating in the night sky of the new moon, beautiful but chilling......

===============

On the official road outside the city, Xiahou Yan, who was disguised as a farmer and sat on a dilapidated ox cart, turned around to look at the red-glowing Shengjing from afar, frowning.

"Yan'er, but what's wrong?" Situ Danfeng, who was sitting in the dilapidated carriage, lifted the curtain and asked Xiahou Yan.

"Grandmother, the east of the city is on fire...... "Xiahou Yan replied with a solemn face.

Before leaving the city, they knew that someone had gone to Dugu Mansion with a large number of soldiers, and because of this, their exit from the city this time became extremely smooth. Because the guards in the city focused more attention on the east of the city.

"It's on fire...... Situ Danfeng lowered his eyes and thought for a moment, then shook his head helplessly, "This Xuanyuan Ze must be crazy!" ”

"Fortunately, let's leave one step ahead, otherwise the Xiahou family may be their next target!" Xiahou Yan said with palpitations.

"Yu'er, have you arranged them all?" Situ Danfeng asked Xiahou Yan with some unease.

"Grandmother, don't worry, Yu'er and Aunt Yue, they have arrived safely at Ciyun Nunnery outside the city a few days ago, and they should be fine." Xiahou Yan replied.

"Well, Yu'er's current situation is really not suitable for long-distance travel, although Ciyun Nunnery is not a hidden place, but Xuanyuan Ze can't imagine that we dare to leave Yu'er and them in the suburbs of Beijing. But it can keep them safe for the time being. Situ Danfeng nodded.

"Grandmother, why don't you send your grandson over as well." Xiahou Yan said tentatively.

Situ Danfeng glanced at Xiahou Yan, and then shook his head, "No, I have to go to Yingdu City with you." If I weren't there, your father wouldn't have agreed to help them! “

"But ......" Xiahou Yan was a little hesitant, there were still at least a few days to go to Yingdu City, and he was really worried about whether his grandmother's body could withstand it.

"Grandmother knows what you're worried about, don't worry, it's okay! Isn't there still Yuwen girl with me?! Situ Danfeng pouted at the corner of the carriage.

In the small carriage, Yu Wenling, who seemed to be asleep, was placed in a corner of the carriage, sleeping peacefully.

"Situ Jie's kid is really, he didn't say anything, he just sent the unconscious Yuwen girl over and begged us to take her away. What the hell is going on? Xiahou Yan looked at Yu Wenling in the carriage and frowned.

"He doesn't want to drag down Yuwen girl......" Situ Danfeng sighed helplessly, "The emperor suddenly fell ill, and now the palace is afraid that the sky has changed, what do you think Jing girl will do?" ”

"Grandmother is saying that Concubine Jing has taken refuge in Xuanyuan Ze?" Xiahou Yan asked in disbelief.

"Although the Situ family is my mother family, I also have to tell the truth, since ancient times, businessmen have valued profits, and for the people of the Situ family, whoever can bring them the greatest benefits is their ally!" Situ Danfeng said coldly.

"Grandmother means that not only Concubine Jing has taken refuge in Xuanyuan Ze, but even the Situ family ......" Xiahou Yan frowned and looked at his grandmother.

Situ Danfeng nodded lightly, "Anyway, Situ Jian is still a little friendly in the end, and he tried to send Yuwen out of the girl, so as not to implicate her." ”
