Chapter Ninety-Nine: Hunting for Lady Snow
Inside the palace, Ling Yan listened to the secret guard's report with a gloomy face. When I heard that Concubine Xue fell into the cliff in a car, I couldn't help but feel a little pity, but after thinking about it, Concubine Xue might know her secret, so she felt that it was better to die, so as not to regenerate Ni Duan in the future.
Seeing that he was silent, the secret guard buried his head lower, fearing that the king would be unhappy, would cut off his own head. "What about Prime Minister Zuo? Also in the car? Suddenly, the king asked coldly. The dark guard said in a trembling voice, "We've been following, and we haven't seen anyone get out of the car, so they should be there." Ling Yan waved his hand and motioned for the dark guard to leave.
Ling Yan paced in the huge hall, but he was always uneasy in his heart: Mrs. Xue had only entered the palace some time ago, and she didn't know if she had secretly received a message from Xue Hao. No, Mrs. Snow must not stay, and the grass must be cut and rooted, otherwise there will be endless troubles! He raised his voice and shouted, "Dark Guard! "In! What does the king command? Dark Guard 1 responded.
"You immediately lead a team of people to the Zuo Xiang's Mansion to catch Mrs. Xue, there must be no mistake!" "Yes!" Darkguard 1 took the order.
Ling Yan still felt relieved, and called the No. 2 secret guard again, saying, "You go and inform No. 1, if Mrs. Xue doesn't comply, you will be killed!" ”
In the Zuo Prime Minister's mansion, Mrs. Xue was waiting for the Zuo Prime Minister nervously. Suddenly, seeing Zuo Xiang rushing over, she hurriedly greeted her and asked, "How is Xue'er?" Zuo Xiang took her hand and ran straight out, instructing the housekeeper who was waiting as he ran: "Immediately notify everyone to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion immediately, don't pack up anything, run as much as you can!" ”
Mrs. Xue suddenly felt that something was wrong, and she didn't ask the reason anymore, and followed Zuo Xiang out of the house. The two of them carried light work and flew to the roof. The subordinates of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion were also well-trained, and as soon as they received the order, they all turned over the backyard and left quietly, and the housekeeper who walked at the end carefully closed the door.
Not long after they left, the secret guards who came by order had already come to the gate of the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion, seeing that the gate was closed, and the leader was not ambiguous, with a wave of their hands, the secret guards jumped over the courtyard gate and flew into the mansion. But as soon as I entered the house, I felt that the whole house was silent, which was very weird. Dark Guard No. 1 suddenly felt bad, "Search!" "When they turned the Zuo Prime Minister's Mansion upside down, there was not a single figure. The guards suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, oops! Everyone's gone! Who leaked the news? I'm going to be heavily punished now!
Just at a loss, Dark Guard No. 2 also flew into the mansion: "The king has an order, if Mrs. Xue does not obey, she will be killed!" Number 1 said in frustration: "When we came, all the people were gone!" "So what are you waiting for? Go to the gates and tell you - close all the gates, and no one will enter or leave! I'm going to reply to the king! Guard No. 2 commanded neatly. The Dark Guards took the order and left.
After sweeping over the countless rooftops, Lady Snow was already exhausted, panting and sweating. Zuo Xiang heard that her breathing was a lot rougher, so he pulled her to stop. Mrs. Snow gasped and asked anxiously, "Snow ...... What about Cher? She...... Where is she? "Don't worry, she's out of town, it's safe!" Let's go to Cangzhou first. Zuo Xiang comforted his wife in his mouth, but he was secretly beating a drum in his heart, wondering if Xue'er could avoid the pursuit of the secret guards.
"Let's get out of the city quickly, we can't delay any longer!" After Zuo Xiang calmly breathed, he pulled Mrs. Xue and continued to walk towards the city gate.
