Chapter 330 The precursor of Su Rao’s darkening (18)

Although the sky is still sunny today and the sun is shining brightly, I seem to feel that there is some kind of indescribable pressing and heavy gloominess in the air. Even every moment I walk through feels urgent and heavy.

Dull.

An afternoon passed like this.

At sunset, the splendid sunset appeared on the horizon, with thousands of feet of golden red covering all directions. The radiance cast by the setting sun was golden and dazzling, reflecting the woman in red squatting on the ground in the forest, and even more feeling the weight in the air.

Su Rao's fingertips touched the dried dark red color on the stubborn rocks in the forest. In the other hand, she held a small piece of jet black rag satin, and her bright peach blossom eyes felt heavy.

"Su Rao, could it be that your second brother has encountered danger?"

Su Er's robe was in shreds of satin, and a corner of it was accidentally torn by a branch. Su Rao, on the way to the military camp, passed by the forest and noticed it with sharp eyes.

Huanniang asked, but Su Rao shook his head firmly.

"There are no traces of fighting or much blood around. This is probably the second brother's self-inflicted injury."

Speaking of these words, Su Rao's heart became deeper and deeper.

The second brother escaped from prison and now hurts himself. Is it because of her, a remnant of the previous dynasty? Or is it because something happened with Yun Mujing?

Then he looked at the forest where Su Er and Yun Mujing had stayed briefly, and saw the grass in the forest that had been trampled by horse hooves. The place they went to was not a military camp...

With this realization, Su Rao's frown became even more serious.

"Su Rao..."

Seeing this, Huan Niang spoke again, but before she could say anything more, a sound of horse hooves came from the official road.

Tap tap tap…

Even though they were still some distance away, they could still hear it clearly.

Su Rao and Huanniang suddenly looked at each other.

The sound of horseshoes trampling on the road coming from the official road was so clear. It was different from the sound of ordinary horses trampling on the road, because it was the sound of special horseshoes only found in the Imperial Guard.

Immediately, Su Rao and his group quickly hid in the forest.

The bright peach blossom eyes also looked from the forest to the official road...

On both sides of the official road, yellowing forest leaves rustled.

The sound of horse hooves kicked up the dust and scattered it in all directions.

The forest leaves are sweeping.

A group of forest guards, led by Yun Murui and Yun Muxiao, galloped from the official road in the distance.

After searching for half a day last night and half a day today, at noon today, Yun Murui and Yun Muxiao finally found out that Su Er and Yun Mujing had left the city.

Because Jingzhao Yin received news of the incident in the Jingzhao Mansion Prison and learned that Huanniang, Mu Lian and his party had also been rescued last night, his face changed drastically and he did not dare to hide it, so he hurriedly entered the palace.

Report.

With the knowledge of the prison robbery in the Jingzhao Mansion Prison, the prince discovered what the gatekeeper had concealed but failed to report.

Under the pressure of the prince, the gatekeeper commander and gatekeepers finally confessed in a trembling voice that they were intimidating and coercing the seventh prince and did not dare to let him out of the city.

In this case, Su Rao and his group were not mentioned, but everything was attributed to Su Er and the Seventh Prince.

The twist in the words was used to reduce their guilt and avoid the possibility that Su Rao and his entourage were really a secret sect of the prince.

If they had told the truth without knowing the reason, they might have suffered more than the skin and flesh suffering they suffered now because of the concealment and no retribution, and they would have even suffered a fatal disaster, which the prince had to eliminate.

"Third brother, the direction we are heading towards is the Yunlang Army barracks. Could it be that Su Er fled to the barracks?"

The Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince galloped through the official road here on horseback.

Yun Muxiao saw them chasing Su Er and Yun Mujing in the direction they took after leaving the city according to the instructions of the gatekeeper general, but getting closer and closer to the military camp. A chilling thought occurred in his heart.

Could it be that Su Er escaped from prison to start a rebellion...

"Third Brother, should we send someone to let the Prime Minister know first and take precautions to avoid any danger. If the body of the Third Brother and the Crown Prince is accidentally injured..."

Yun Muxiao shuddered and guessed that although he had never said it out loud, the tacit understanding between the two brothers for many years, needless to say, Yun Murui had already understood it.

Ruo Suer arrived at the military camp and gathered Yunlang's army. They only brought dozens of imperial guards to go there, fearing that there would be danger.

"Sixth brother, don't worry."

If Su Er really rebelled, he would be seeking death.

Between his eyebrows, the sense of wisdom has not diminished by half.

"The rest of the Su family are in prison. No matter how capable Su Er is, they would not dare to act rashly."

Yun Murui said that with the other members of the Su family in hand, even if Su Er fled to the military camp, he would still be short-changed.

Also said:

"My father has left this matter to me and Duke Zhao. Since Duke Zhao is here, grandpa will not interfere."

The old fox of Zhao Guogong has been keeping an eye on the Prime Minister's Mansion all day long. For the sake of safety, it would be better for Grandpa to stay still.

Yun Mu Rui had thought so thoroughly and had already taken all possible factors into consideration, so Yun Mu Xiao said no more.

"The third brother is still thoughtful."

The group of people stayed away from the official road here for only a moment.

It wasn't until no trace of people could be seen on the official road, that Su Rao and Huanniang's group appeared on the forest mountain.

"Su Rao, listen to what they said. Your second brother really went to the military camp. Could it be that your second brother really wants to..."

Huan Niang also guessed.

Huan Niang never said the word 'rebellion', but she told Su Rao about the strange expression on her face.

"If it were the past, I firmly believe that the second brother would never be able to..."

But now, now she is not sure at all...

Su Rao's voice brought out a sense of heaviness.

But in just a moment, she flew onto the horse.

"Let's go and follow them first. I will never let anything happen to my second brother."

Due to the appearance of the Crown Prince and the Sixth Prince, Su Rao was worried about Su Er. For a moment, she no longer thought about the clues in the forest that she had just discovered, but followed Yun Murui and the others. As a result, she missed the chance to find someone early.

The moment when Yi Yi and Su Er met.

Just one step earlier or one step later will lead to completely different results.

But at this moment, let’s not mention this different result.

The two groups of princes and Su Rao went to the Yunlang Army camp one after another. At this time, in the Yun Palace, Yun Ji also faced another embarrassment given to him by Emperor Yu, and another imperial conspiracy.

.

Outside the Imperial Study Room.

A low-pressure breath and a low atmosphere made Jing Zhaoyin's body tremble as he knelt at the foot of the steps. Beads of sweat were rolling down his forehead, staining the official robes spread out on the steps drop by drop.

"A Jingzhao government office, guarded by hundreds of government officials, can sneak in quietly and rescue all the people. It's such a waste, what use do I need from you."

There was silence for a whole afternoon. After the corpses of the official jailers who died under the jade bone fan in the Jingzhao Mansion were carried outside the palace one by one, Emperor Yu spoke.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, please calm down. I am guilty. However, Su Er escaped from prison last night, and the Jingzhao Mansion Prison was massacred and robbed. This incident may be a conspiracy between the Su family and the remnants of the previous dynasty to attack the east and attack the west..."

Although Jing Zhaoyin's heart trembled because of the incident in Jing Zhao Mansion's Yamen Prison, he was still busy trying to excuse himself.

After finishing his words, he swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva and his body became more and more prostrate.

"The inside... should... the outside... combine..."

"Sound...east...strike...west..."

Emperor Yu's eyes then turned to Yun Ji, who was sitting quietly on the soft chair that the young father-in-law had brought.

"Does Jiyue think this is the case too?"

This question is like asking Xun Yunjike what he thinks and whether he agrees with Jing Zhaoyin's exculpatory words.

But they both understood clearly in their hearts that Emperor Yu was suspicious of Yun Ji, and he was suspicious of Yun Ji.

Just because those jailers all died under the Jade Bone Fan, and Huanniang and Mu Lian were the secret guards of Princess Zeng Yun as Yunji said, could it be that Su Er's escape last night was actually Yunji's handiwork?

…

Yun Ji asked Yun Mujing to rescue Su Er. Firstly, Yun Mujing's safety could be used to restrain Emperor Yu's hands and feet. Secondly, when Su Er escaped from prison, Emperor Yu would not dare to touch the Su family easily, otherwise once Su was cornered, Yun Ji asked Yun Mujing to rescue Su Er.

Two soldiers rebelled...
