At this time, it was already dusk. The red light of the setting sun shone on the ground and dyed the eagle rider's black armor with a layer of orange light.
There were more than 10 corpses on the ground. Du Yi had seen the bearded man before. He was Tagiguri's right-hand man and had always been by her side. After seeing the corpses strewn all over the place, Du Yi sighed softly and turned to leave.
When Du Yi arrived at the prime minister's residence, Tagiguri immediately asked him about the whereabouts of her companions. Du Yi was silent for a while and shook his head. "When I arrived, they were already dead. There were a total of 18 people and 18 corpses. "
"No —" Tagiguri hugged her head and screamed. Tears flowed down from the corners of her eyes. "Why did this happen? They shouldn't have died! It's all my fault. I wanted to be brave. I harmed them! "
These 18 people had been by Tagiguri's side for more than 10 years and had experienced all kinds of battles with her. They were loyal and devoted to her. Now, they had turned into 18 cold corpses. How could Tagiguri accept this?
"It's all my fault! It's all my fault! " Tagiguri hammered her head. The bandaged wound on her left hand bled again due to the violent hammering.
"Hey, have you had enough?!" Du Yi grabbed Tagiguri's hand to prevent her from injuring him again. Unexpectedly, Tagiguri kicked Du Yi to the ground. "I want revenge! I want to find them and take revenge! "
Tagiguri supported herself to stand up. She had just taken two steps when Du Yi roared, "Enough! Tagiguri, can you stop making a fuss?! You have already harmed yourself and your subordinates. Are you going to harm us too?! Are you done?! This isn't your desert! You aren't that noble Jurchen princess anymore! Wake up! "
Du Yi's words stunned Tagiguri. Then, she burst into tears. Tagiguri's image had always been rather unyielding. Even when her brother was killed and the tribe didn't collapse, she had never acted like this. Now that she was crying like this, Du Yi was at a loss as if he had done something evil.
"Instead of crying, why don't you wipe away your tears and escape first before coming back for revenge!"
Ryuzawa Jingtian appeared in the room. With a sullen face, he stared at Tagiguri. "Didn't we agree to act together? Because of your arbitrary decision, we were almost exposed. Please calm down and think carefully before you act impulsively next time. Don't harm others! "
"Your Highness, she already knows she's in the wrong. Please don't say that." Du Yi spoke up for Tajguli.
"Hmph!" Longze Jingtian snorted and turned to Mu Hua. "Thank you for your reminder, Prime Minister. Otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here!"
"There's no need to stand on ceremony, Your Highness! Oh right, everyone, it's getting late. You should hurry up and follow me out of the city! " Mu Hua brought Ryuzawa Jingtian, Du Yi, and Tajguli to his study. He opened the secret door and stopped in a corner. He lifted the blanket on the ground and revealed a locked wooden board.
"This is a secret tunnel that I dug in the past that leads out of the city. Now that Phoenix Cangcheng has sealed the city, you can't leave. This is the safest way to leave! "Mu Hua opened the wooden plank and went into the secret passage.
Ryuzawa Jingtian brought two people with him, plus Du Yi and Tajguli. A total of five people followed behind Mu Hua and entered the tunnel.
This tunnel wasn't dug high. They had to bend their backs to walk inside. If they weren't careful, they would hit their heads. They walked for a long time in the tunnel before reaching another exit. What surprised Ryuzawa Jingtian was that this exit was actually an abandoned well.
After the others climbed up along the hanging vines, Du Yi squatted in front of Tajguli. "Come up. I'll carry you up!"
Tajguli was a little surprised. She didn't say anything and went forward to lie on Du Yi's back. The two of them were the last to go out.
At this moment, the sky was already dark. Mu Hua cupped his fists towards Ryuzawa Jingtian and the others. "The situation has been tense recently. Please take shelter! I, Mu Hua, Prime Minister's residence will always be open to everyone! "
"Thank you, Prime Minister!" Ryuzawa Jingtian and the others cupped their fists and thanked him. Everyone knew that if it wasn't for Mu Hua's tunnel, Feng Cang might have found them. Now, these people wouldn't be able to stand here safely.
In the Prince Regent's residence, Feng Cang looked solemn. "Eighteen people? No Tajguli? Then where would she go? "
In one day, the Eagle Cavalry had searched more than half of the capital. The only ones left were the houses of high officials and nobles and the palace. Those eighteen people were obviously Tajguli's accomplices. But what surprised Feng Cang was that Tajguli actually didn't go back. Where would she hide?
"Your Highness, tomorrow is the eastern district and the palace. Are you going to investigate or not? Forgive this subordinate for speaking bluntly. If someone in the court is really colluding with Tajguli, then it's still possible to hide someone. Even if we look for her, we might not be able to find her. "
Nalan Xin's words were reasonable. Feng Cang was very clear that if she couldn't be found in the houses of the common people, then Tajguli would definitely be hiding in the houses of the officials. It was just that there were so many officials in the capital. It would take a lot of time to check them one by one. Moreover, the families of the high officials and nobles had a lot of servants. It was very easy to hide people. This matter was really not easy to handle.
"Withdraw the people. Tomorrow, everything will return to normal. Just carefully check all the people who leave the city. Then … let the people from the Buddha Sect find the whereabouts of Tajguli. At the same time, look for Ryuzawa Jingtian. I'm worried that the two of them might be together. If that happens, nothing good will come out of it! "
After making these arrangements, Feng Cang returned to Tingsong Pavilion.
Even though he had gone through that incident in the day, Feng Xiao didn't seem to be frightened at all. After drinking his fill, he fell asleep to Feng Qiqi's song.
"Are you asleep?" Feng Cang walked up to the bed and looked at Feng Xiao.
"Un!" Feng Qiqi nodded as she carefully placed Feng Xiao on the bed.
"That lad actually didn't cry today! I really wonder if he's too daring … "Feng Cang couldn't help but feel proud at the mention of his son. He felt that Feng Xiao's performance today was not bad. He was not an ordinary child.
Seeing through the gleeful look in Feng Cang's eyes, Feng Qiqi chuckled softly. She pulled Feng Cang to the side.
"Did you find her?"
"We only found her accomplices, but not Tajguli herself."
