Chapter 1474 Ambush
The people below were silent.
Everyone was kneeling on the ground, and no one dared to speak.
"Why is no one moving?" The city lord was surprised. "Hurry up and post a notice for me!" he shouted angrily.
"It's not that we don't want to stick it, it's just that..." One of the soldiers raised his head.
"In fact, that woman among them was a wanted criminal." He said to the city lord.
"What?" The city lord and others' eyes widened.
The city lord didn't know at all that Feng Qinghua had offended King Manchuhuo in Nanxu Kingdom.
Although Xiahui City is a subsidiary city of Nanxu Kingdom, there is not much exchange between the two cities except at the beginning and end of each year.
When I came to Xiahui City, the city lord was seriously ill before. He only took care of things outside the city when he was in a good mood. He didn't care if he was not feeling well.
In addition, the fact that Nanxu Kingdom was turned upside down by just a few people was originally a humiliating matter. If others hadn't taken the initiative to ask, Changsun Wujue would definitely not want to talk about it to others.
But it was absolutely impossible for Changsun Wujue to swallow this tone.
So he issued wanted notices outside the city and in surrounding affiliated cities.
The wanted persons are Feng Qinghua and Zhan Beixiao.
The city lord of Xiahui City did not see this wanted order, but all his guards did.
Now that the person was missing, he wanted to issue a wanted warrant to find him, and finally someone told him about it.
"Wanted? Wanted by people from Nanxu Kingdom?" The city lord frowned.
"No wonder she dared to run away after hearing that Zhan Beixiao was in Nanxu Kingdom. It turned out to be because she had been to Nanxu Kingdom and was not afraid of not being able to find anyone there." The city lord felt regretful.
He regretted that he was so confident that Feng Qinghua would bow her head and beg him.
He didn't investigate this matter clearly.
Now that the person is missing, even if he issues a wanted order, Changsun Wujue's arrest order will definitely take priority.
Even if someone found Feng Qinghua, they would definitely not be able to get it into his hands.
"Wanted, wanted..." The city lord thought hard.
"Is there any other way?"
Suddenly, he had an idea.
"Since the wanted people are Feng Qinghua and Zhan Beixiao, I have already found out before that Zhan Beixiao is in Nanxu Kingdom."
"Then Feng Qinghua knows that Zhan Beixiao is in Nanxu Kingdom, so she will definitely go find Zhan Beixiao."
"So these two people will definitely meet in Nanxu Kingdom."
"Since both of them are in Nanxu Kingdom, let Changsun Wujue catch them."
"Even if I want to ask Changsun Wujue for someone at that time, considering that Xiahui City is a vassal state of Nanxu Kingdom, it is impossible for Changsun Wujue not to give me some face."
"When the time comes and I don't waste any energy, I can get the person. Isn't it beautiful?"
Thinking of this, the city lord slapped the door frame.
"Send me a message to Changsun Wujue, saying that I have found out the whereabouts of Feng Qinghua and Zhan Beixiao. Zhan Beixiao is in Nanxu, and Feng Qinghua is about to defect to Zhan Beixiao. Let him spend the next two days
Be careful."
"Also, ask him if he can give Feng Qinghua to me after he captures her," he said.
It was precisely because the city lord of Xiahui City arranged all this that Feng Qinghua suffered the sap from behind at the gate of Nanxu Kingdom.
Because of the poison in Feng Qinghua's body, the two of them were delayed for a day before heading to Nanxu Kingdom.
Originally, it would not be a big deal to delay for a day, but the lord of Xiahui City had already discovered that Feng Qinghua had slipped away that day and handed the letter to Changsun Wujue.
That's why Changsun Wujue had the time to arrange in advance.
He knew that Feng Qinghua would come to Zhan Beixiao, and Feng Qinghua was very smart. It would definitely not be easy to catch her just by checking at the city gate.
Therefore, the inspection at the city gate was basically a cover-up. The people who were planning to arrest Feng Qinghua were lying in ambush around the city gate. They waited until Feng Qinghua entered the encirclement circle before preparing to take action.
So Feng Qinghua was attacked without any preparation.
She was hit hard with a stick from behind, and the pain was so painful that she almost couldn't even breathe.
A group of people wearing soldiers' armor cheered and surrounded him, and Feng Qinghua, who was squatting on the ground in pain, surrounded him.
Of course, this change was also discovered by Su Li who went to the city gate tower to explore the way.
She turned around and saw Feng Qinghua surrounded, so she immediately turned around and ran back.
"Who are you!" she shouted loudly while running.
Before he could get close to Feng Qinghua, a guard took out a long sword with a cold light and pointed it straight at Su Li.
"Be brave, we are the imperial army of Nanxu Kingdom." He said to Su Li.
"No matter who you are, this woman is a wanted criminal on our wanted list."
"Our king demands that we must capture her."
"No matter what your relationship is with this woman, I advise you not to wade into this muddy water."
"If you get involved with a wanted criminal, you will definitely not end well!" said the Imperial Guard.
Why does Su Li care so much about him?
Not to mention that Feng Qinghua had already briefly told Su Li what happened in Nanxu Kingdom, Su Li was not surprised at all that someone in Nanxu Kingdom wanted Feng Qinghua.
Even if she had no idea that Feng Qinghua might be wanted, she still had to save Feng Qinghua.
You must know that Su Li agreed to go with Feng Qinghua to find Zhan Beixiao, and she even took Feng Qinghua's poison for this matter.
If Feng Qinghua is caught and the poison cannot be detoxified, then Su Li will be finished.
Without saying a word, she started fighting with the guard.
When the guard saw that the person coming was a woman, he didn't expect that she would take action. He raised his sword just to scare her.
Unexpectedly, Su Li's attack was very ruthless, and he was kicked to the ground, making him lose his shit.
"What's going on!" The other Imperial Guards around were startled. "This woman is so powerful!"
The group of people immediately turned around and attacked Su Li.
This group of forbidden troops was sent by Changsun Wujue. There were not many people in the first place, and the purpose was to deceive others.
But now facing the two masters Feng Qinghua and Su Li, it seems even more difficult.
They were fighting against Su Li, and a defensive gap appeared on Feng Qinghua's side.
Feng Qinghua took advantage of this opportunity and sneaked out of the encirclement.
"Oops, he's gone!" The sharp-eyed Imperial Guard saw Feng Qinghua slipping away and shouted hurriedly.
The group of forbidden troops suddenly became a mess. Some people wanted to capture Feng Qinghua, while others wanted to beat Su Li.
Both sides want to do it, but neither side can do it well, so naturally they are attacked from both sides.
Su Li took advantage of the chaos and escaped.
Feng Qinghua and Su Li met on the way out.
"How's it going? Is there anyone catching up?" Feng Qinghua asked the panting Su Li.
"It should be gone." Su Li said.
"What should we do now? Can we still enter the city?" she asked Feng Qinghua.
Feng Qinghua sighed.
