"You should be very clear that once you step out of this door, you will be an accomplice of the alien spies and the archenemy of the Judicial Department." Zhu Hou said in a low voice, "It's not too late. Go back and I'll pretend I didn't see anything."
"Master Zhu, is this okay?" Yan Li said with a smile, "Li Yong can't wait for me to go out, but you are here to stop me. What will happen if he finds out?"
Zhu Hou's face turned cold, "I treat you as a little brother. I can't bear to see you die! What do you think the Judicial Department is? You have seen it these days. Unless you have the strength of Yan Chaoyang, you can't escape death even if you meet up with Tang Sanghua! "
"You don't need to worry."
"You don't know what's good for you. Then don't blame me for being cruel!"
The convoy set off again. Yan Li walked two steps and said with his back to Zhu Hou, "Master Zhu, I appreciate your kindness."
Zhu Hou was startled. Looking at his back, he shook his head, "This kid!"
When the convoy reached the Ten Li Long Pavilion, the leader stopped the convoy and found Yan Li, "Young Master Yan, we can only accompany you here. Also, I have a message for you from the Young Master. "
"Speak."
"If Young Master has nowhere to go, Lianhai Manor will always welcome you."
"Tell your Young Master that if he has nowhere to go, Yanshan Robber will always welcome him."
The steward said with a smile, "Young Master said you will definitely reply like this. He also said that if there is such a day, he will."
Yan Li couldn't help but laugh, "What a good Lianhai Changjin. What a wonderful person."
He took out the sword case and the Xuan Jun Sword, tied them on his back, and said goodbye to the convoy.
After walking two steps into the bushes, he suddenly raised his eyebrows, "Who is it?"
"It's me." The bushes shook and a pretty girl came out. It was Ye Qing.
Yan Li said with a headache, "Why are you here?"
Ye Qing said, "I understand what you said, but I still have to go."
"I'm not thinking about your life." Yan Li rolled his eyes, "I'm worried about my future."
"I don't care." Ye Qing said stubbornly, "She has helped me a lot. I must repay her."
"There is only one way for you to repay her. That is to stay in Yong Ling and don't make trouble for me."
"Hmph!" Ye Qing said angrily, "If you don't take me, I'll tell the Judicial Department of Justice!"
Yan Li felt a headache coming. He thought for a while and said, "I can't bring you along to save them. If you really want to repay me, you only need to complete a mission. Ye Qing said. "This is not to off. I I know, the important."
Ye Qing thought for a while and said, "Okay, tell me."
Yan Li took out a map from his bag, squatted down and spread it out on the ground. He pointed at the map and said, "We are in Qing Province. There is a ferry a hundred miles away. You can rent a boat and take the water to Yang Province. Then buy two horses and change them day and night. You can take the Jiangnan Road and travel 1,700 miles south to Jing Province. Then go southeast, which is Yuan Province, and you can reach Rong City in about two days. Take this letter with you … "
He took out Ma Guanshan's letter of introduction and gave it to Ye Qing, "Take this to Rong City and find a person called Wang Chuan. When you find him, don't rush to give it to him. First observe him and see if he has contacted anyone in secret. If there is no problem, then give it to him. He is our guarantee to get out of seclusion. "
Ye Qing took the letter and said worriedly, "Do you really want to go alone? There are more than four hundred people in the Judicial Department's Flag Battalion. Even if they just stand there and let you kill them, they will die of exhaustion … "
Yan Li said lightly, "Killing people requires superb skills, but saving people requires brains. If I go alone, I will have a little chance. If you really care about Tang Sanghua, do as I say. "
"I got it!" Ye Qing gritted her teeth. Without further ado, she disappeared into the forest.
Yan Li didn't leave in a hurry. Instead, he found a big tree and sat down. He stared at the map and moved his index finger on it. "She left before the Judicial Department, but because of her lack of vigilance, she will be followed three hundred miles away. With her sharp sense of danger, she will definitely give up the official road and take the mountain road. She should have escaped here by now!"
His index finger stopped on the map. A thousand miles away, a mountain in Tu Province.
"First, I need to confirm the direction and position!" Yan Li made up his mind. He put away the map and focused on his journey.
Sure enough, he found hundreds of horses in a small forest three hundred miles away. He was sure that they were left by the Judicial Department.
Yan Li took out the map again and looked in the direction of Tu Province. "At this time, she should have been caught by a small group of pursuers. I'm afraid she has already fought several times. She has rich experience in surviving in the wilderness. The mountain is her home field. If we want to keep her here, we must exhaust her strength. So she will be intercepted here! "
His index finger moved and stopped at a place called Savage Valley in the deep mountains at the border of Yangzhou and Jingzhou.
Yan Li put away the map, took two horses and galloped away.
…
Zhu Hou didn't inform Li Yong right away. He bought an hour for Yan Li.
In the hall of the Judicial Department, Li Yong sat expressionlessly in the head seat. His eyes were deep. No one knew what he was thinking.
Zhu Hou didn't know what was going on. He said respectfully, "Your Excellency, I'm sorry for my negligence. I'm willing to lead my men to chase and arrest Yan Li."
"Zhu Hou, how long have you been with me?" Li Yong said lightly.
"It's been five years since I was recognized by Your Excellency and was specially recruited into the Judicial Department."
"I remember that you have an old mother at home."
"Yes. Thanks to Your Excellency, she can enjoy her old age in peace."
"I personally promoted you to be a commander and trusted you, but how did you repay me?"
Li Yong's eyes were like a viper's. "You helped Yan Li conceal from me that Yan Li left the city an hour ago, right?"
"Your Excellency!" Zhu Hou knelt down in fear. "This subordinate knows his wrongs!"
"You traitorous thing!" Li Yong was unable to restrain his anger. With a flicker of his body, he sent Zhu Hou flying with a slap. With another flicker, he returned to his original position. "Everything you have was given to you by this seat. I can take it back at any time. You're just a dog. As a dog, you dare betray me?"
"Your Excellency, this subordinate knows his wrongs!" Zhu Hou covered his mouth and said dejectedly, "Please punish me. This subordinate will not complain."
"Humph!" Li Yong's expression softened. "Tell me, what kind of bewitching potion did Yan Li give you to make you protect him like this?"
Zhu Hou sighed. "Your Excellency, this subordinate only thought that Yan Li was capable and talented. After he graduated from the academy, he would be Your Excellency's most capable right-hand man. This was why I didn't want him to lose his life for a woman."
"Zhu Hou, Zhu Hou!" Li Yong was so angry that he laughed. "Should I call you stupid or naive? With his wit and ambition, how could he be limited to a small figure in the Judicial Department who listens to orders? You probably don't know that in order to win him over, His Majesty made him choose between the Supreme Court Chancellor and Tang Sanghua. You've already seen his choice! "
"This …" Zhu Hou was dumbfounded.
"You made a grave mistake, a grave mistake in your principles. You betrayed your master!" Li Yong said fiercely, "This is unforgivable. It's considered a crime. What else do you have to say?"
Zhu Hou's heart was like dead ashes. "Your … Your Excellency, this subordinate has nothing to say. But I hope Your Excellency can spare my mother's life for the sake of my many years of following you …"
Li Yong said expressionlessly, "Do you know what you did wrong? Use your brain and think carefully. "
Zhu Hou's heart gave birth to hope again. He thought carefully and said, "Knowing but not reporting?"
"Idiot!" Li Yong said angrily, "You should not have stopped him from leaving the city. Don't you know that I hate him to the bone?"
Looking at Zhu Hou's stunned expression, Li Yong waved his hand helplessly. After all, he was the one who raised Zhu Hou. Even if he was a stupid dog, he was still his dog.
Zhu Hou's heart was cold. At this moment, he finally understood why Yan Li deliberately said those hurtful words at the city gate. His purpose was to stop him.
If he had caught Yan Li at that time, would he still be alive?
"This subordinate, this subordinate knows his mistake." Zhu Hou found that his brain was not enough to deal with these people.
"You stay here and reflect on yourself!" Li Yong glared at him, stood up and walked out.
"M-Milord, what about Yan Li? Do you want to put up a wanted poster? "
"This seat will personally send him on his way!" Li Yong said coldly.
"Master, Yue 'er also wants to go."
At this time, Yue 'er bounced in, giggling as she grabbed Li Yong's hand. "Yue' er also wants to go."
"When did you leave the palace?" Li Yong frowned. "Didn't I tell you to study hard and try to awaken your true name as soon as possible?"
"True name? Is it this?" Yue 'er pointed at the top of her head. A strange phenomenon appeared, forming a multicolored deer.
"Perfect form and soul, a fourth class Minor Celestial!" Zhu Hou cried out in surprise.
"So Little Deer is a true name." Yue 'er blinked her large innocent eyes, looking as if she had a sudden realization.
"Multicolored Deer, a very rare true name." Li Yong's tone was calm, but the curve of his mouth betrayed his mood. He stroked Yue 'er's hair. "Not bad. After I kill the alien spy, I'll come back and guide you in cultivation. "
"No, no, Yue 'er also wants to go. Master will guide me on the way." Yue' er shook his hand and acted like a spoiled child. "I'll be obedient, okay?"
Li Yong was a little helpless. "Does His Majesty know you left the palace?"
"Master knows."
"Then be obedient and don't make trouble."
"I know!"
"Zhu Hou, prepare a carriage. You'll drive it."
"Yes, sir!" Zhu Hou was overjoyed, and hurried off.
The carriage drove out of the city. Li Yong held the map and pondered.
"Big Sister came out of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It should be more advantageous for her to escape through the mountains." Yue 'er pointed at the location of Tu Zhou on the map. "It's been sixteen hours since she started escaping. I think she's at least escaped here."
"En." Li Yong nodded and listened to her analysis.
Encouraged, Yue 'er giggled. "It shouldn't be hard for Big Brother to determine this. However, if you want to save her, you'll only see a messy battlefield if you rush over now. So I guess Big Brother will appear later. "
"Oh?" Li Yong smiled slightly. "Then where do you think we can wait for her?"
"Yue 'er doesn't know either." Yue' er shook her head honestly.
"Little elf, there are things you don't know." Li Yong couldn't help but laugh.
Yue 'er's voice was clear. "Yue' er doesn't know how strong Big Sister is, so I don't know where she will escape to before she runs out of strength. But Big Brother definitely knows, so his judgment is more accurate. Yue 'er can only guess. Without a hundred percent certainty, Yue' er won't make a conclusion. "
Li Yong suddenly pointed at a location on the map. "It should be here."
"Here?" Yue 'er said in surprise. "She can escape that far?"
"Don't underestimate the survival ability of a third-grade martial artist."
