Chapter 217 Tongguan

Author: Yu Yuan Guiyu

Yan Qi finally waited until dark, then moved away the green branches and took out the piccolo that Wen Mo had left for her before leaving.

Judging from the reactions of Emperor Ming and the Empress today, Yan Qi knew that they did not intend to tell her where Yue Jue had gone, so she could only find a way on her own.

After Wen Mo gave her this thing, she never used it once and didn't know if it was useful.

Yan Qi opened the window and slowly played the piccolo.



It was a quiet night, with no sound except the rustling evening wind.

Yan Qi put down the piccolo feebly. How could she forget that this was the palace, and people from the Shadow Moon Tower might not be able to enter at all.

She still had to find a way to get out of the palace.

Just as she was about to close the window, a dark shadow flashed in. She closed the window in her stunned eyes, knelt down in front of her and called out: "Master."

For a moment, Yan Qi thought of playing chess.

He also came and went silently, kneeling on the ground respectfully and calling her princess.

Yan Qi looked at this completely different face and came back to his senses, "Are you from Wenmo?"

Wen Mo said that if she encountered any difficulties, she could just blow the flute and the people from Yingyue Tower would appear.

"My subordinate Feng Zhi, the leader of Shadow Moon Tower."

The leader?

Yan Qi remembered that Ye Li was also the leader of Yingyue Tower. It seemed that this person had a lot of power in Yingyue Tower.

"Get up and answer."

"How did you get into this palace?"

Yan Qi just suddenly forgot where she was. There were many masters in the palace, so she thought that the people from Yingyue Tower couldn't get in.

"When the host left, he told his subordinates to stay by the princess' side."

At this point, he paused slightly, "...it was also the host who asked me to enter the palace. I am worried that the master will be in danger in the palace."

"You mean you have been guarding this palace for the past two years?"

Yan Qi was a little shocked, she was completely unaware of this person's existence.

"Master, forgive me, the poster said that wherever the master is, Feng Zhi will be there!"

Feng Zhi thought Yan Qi was angry and explained.

Wen Mo, it turns out that he not only gave her the token of Yingyue Tower, but also woven a net called protection around her.

Yan Qi breathed a long sigh of relief and suppressed his excess emotions:

"There is something I want to ask you to check."

"Master, please speak."

"I want to know where my royal brother has gone and if something happened that I don't know about."

If Yue Jue's departure was not so strange, she might not have been able to think of using the power of Shadow Moon Tower.

The past two years have been too uneventful.

Feng Zhi glanced at Yan Qi and said, "There is no need to check the whereabouts of His Royal Highness, my subordinates know."

Although he stayed by Yue Huan's side, someone would naturally tell him what happened outside.

Yue Jue is related to Yue Huan, so they naturally pay attention to it.

"Where has he gone?" Yan Qi felt a little nervous for no reason.

"——Tongguan."

As soon as Feng Zhi finished speaking, Yan Qi's face suddenly turned pale, the blood on her face faded, and she looked at Feng Zhi in disbelief, "Tongguan?"

"What happened?"

Two years ago, Murong Lingyuan was intercepted and killed by Jiang Qi in Yancheng, and was later chased by Jiang Qi's men all the way to Tongguan. Almost everyone around him died.

At such a heavy price, he was also seriously injured and suffered from the root of his illness.

When Jiang Qi returned to the Zhou Dynasty and ascended the throne as emperor, Murong Lingyuan received a letter from Emperor Ming, and also learned that the massacre of Murong's family and the sniper killing he suffered were all done by Jiang Qi.

Such a cruel and ruthless wolf cub makes people feel frightened.

No one can guarantee whether the powerful wolf cub will show its fangs, so he is on guard at every turn.

I didn't expect this day to come.

Da Zhou launched an attack on the Yuezhi without any warning!

Overnight, soldiers from the Great Zhou Dynasty appeared at the border of Tongguan and killed Murong Lingyuan by surprise!

The soldiers of the Great Zhou Dynasty were completely desperate in their tactics, and they continued to attack them as if they were tireless.

Although Murong Lingyuan managed the army well, he could not withstand the desperate battles of the Great Zhou Dynasty. They did not have so many soldiers to fight head-on!

After several rounds, Yuezhi gradually gained the upper hand.

Murong Lingyuan made a prompt decision and sent a letter to the imperial capital, asking for support!

When Yan Qi learned that Yue Jue was going to Tongguan, his heart beat unnaturally faster, and even his breathing became difficult.

"You mean, Zhou Dynasty attacked the army stationed by General Murong at Tongguan?"

No wonder.

No wonder Yue Jue left the palace without telling her.

It turns out it's about Jiang Qi.

However, Jiang Qi's blood had only been brought to the palace a few days ago, and the guard's attitude did not indicate that Da Zhou was about to fight the Yueshi.

"This is the news that my subordinates have heard."

"But His Majesty, the Great Zhou Dynasty, is marching in person?"

"I don't know."

Feng Zhi had limited information, and he really didn't know if Jiang Qi was in Tongguan.

Yan Qi nodded blankly, and suddenly pulled Feng Zhi's arm eagerly, "Feng Zhi, do you have a way to take me out of the palace?"

Now that the situation was urgent, she couldn't wait until dawn, not to mention that Emperor Ming and the Queen were hiding it from her, and they would definitely not give her a chance to leave the palace.

Feng Zhi pondered for a moment, "Master, change your clothes first, then I'll go down and make arrangements."

Yan Qi was still wearing the clothes he had worn during the day to attend Yue Jue's birthday. They were a bit eye-catching and not suitable for walking in the palace at night.

Yan Qi nodded hurriedly.

After she changed into light black clothes, Feng Zhi, who had gone and returned, also arrived in time.

Feng Zhi led her to dodge and dodge all the way, flying over eaves and walls, and exited the palace in a thrilling way.

A carriage has already been prepared in the alley outside the palace gate.

Yan Qi sat in the carriage and asked Feng Zhi, who was driving the carriage outside, "How many of your people are there in the imperial capital now? I would like to ask for your help."

Yan Qi also knew that this was a state matter of the Yuezhi and had nothing to do with the Yingyue Tower that Wen Mo left to her, but she had no other choice.

There is simply no one else available to her.

Feng Zhi naturally knew what Yan Qi meant: "Master, don't worry, my subordinates have ordered them to wait outside the city."

"The original poster said that as long as the master is in danger, no matter what happens, Yingyue Tower will protect the master to the death."

Now that Yue Huan was going to Tongguan, which was unaware of the situation, he naturally had to bring more troops with him.

Almost all the forces of the Shadow Moon Tower that remained in the imperial capital were brought to Tongguan by him.

Yan Qi's throat was dry: "...Thank you very much."

Her current body is not as good as it was two years ago. It is simply impossible to reach Tongguan alone.

No matter what method she uses now, she just wants to rush to Tongguan as soon as possible to stop Jiang Qi!

Nothing can happen to Yue Jue.

When Yue Jue rushed to Tongguan, she thought the same as Yue Huan, thinking that she would see Jiang Qi in Tongguan.

He rode a horse and stood at the front of the team. Looking at the young man in front of the opponent's formation, he felt familiar.

Yue Jue narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at the man calmly.

"Let Jiang Qi come out to see me."

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, the person opposite burst out laughing.

He looked at Yue Jue with contempt, "Does His Majesty the Crown Prince think this is the imperial capital? Can His Majesty come out to see you just by talking?"

Yue Jue's eyebrows darkened slightly and she ignored his sarcasm, "I said, let Jiang Qi come out and see me!"

Yue Jue was worried in his heart. If Jiang Qi was not in Tongguan, based on his understanding of Yuezhi's terrain, he might very well be able to detour the front and aim directly at the imperial capital.

"It's just a small Tongguan. Why does Your Majesty need to come here in person? I can kill all of you here alone!"

The man's eyes were full of contempt for Yue Jue. He looked at Yue Jue as if he were prey: "I wonder if His Highness the Crown Prince still remembers the assassination he suffered in Liuchun Garden in Suzhou two years ago?"

"At that time, I really wanted to take your life and return to Dazhou to sacrifice the flag for His Majesty, but it's a pity..."

It's a pity that his assassination in Yuezhi was ruined by Jiang Qi.
