The door opened a little and a figure quickly squeezed in. The room was filled with the smell of alcohol.
Luo Zhao, who was sitting in front of the dressing table, was putting on his disguise. He quickly looked back and saw that it was a man dressed as a servant. He continued to fix himself in front of the mirror.
The man came up and asked in surprise, "Why aren't you done yet?"
Luo Zhao said, "I've never done this before. I'm clumsy."
"Let me help you." The man quickly took over and helped him with his disguise.
Luo Zhao asked, "Are you sure there won't be any problems?"
The man said, "Don't worry. Han and Song are fighting and won't care about this place. You're no longer important to them. You're just a simple guard. It won't be difficult to sneak out. I've prepared everything. As long as you don't alarm the cultivators in the city, you'll be safe once you get out of the city. There are people flying outside to send you to Qin. It'll be too late by the time they find out. "
The words' you're no longer important to them 'made Luo Zhao laugh self-deprecatingly.
The reason why he was no longer important was that he would rather die than submit to Wu Gongling. He was no longer useful to Wu Gongling and the three major sects of Song.
He knew that Wu Gongling had originally wanted to kill him, but High Heaven Pavilion had stopped him out of respect. Previously, he had been imprisoned, and later on, Feng Guaner had repeatedly pleaded for him to be released from the cage, which could be considered as house arrest here.
He thought that he would be buried forever, but Waning Moon Pavilion sent someone to contact him and persuade him.
He was responsible for the overthrow of the Mu family's imperial power. He decided to stay alive and submit to Qin. One day, he would kill all the traitors!
After changing his appearance, Luo Zhao quickly took off his clothes and put on a servant's clothes.
The man helped him and asked again to confirm, "Are you really not going to take Madam away? Just a few more and we can take them away. "
Luo Zhao said, "No, I've left her a letter of divorce!"
"A letter of divorce?" The man was stunned.
"She has the background of High Heaven Pavilion. It's not convenient for her to go to Qin." Luo Zhao found an excuse to not wash his dirty linen in public.
When the man heard this, he praised, "Indecisiveness will only lead to chaos. As expected of the Governor who is decisive in killing. Straightforward, you are indeed a person who does great things."
"There's no such thing as a governor …" Luo Zhao mocked himself.
After cleaning up, Luo Zhao grabbed the wine pot and opened it. He then sprinkled some wine into the room to increase the smell of alcohol.
After placing a letter on the table, the two of them opened the door and left.
The inside and outside were connected, and everything had been set up. Luo Zhao, who was hidden in the bucket of hogwash, was easily sent out …
At noon, seeing that Luo Zhao's door was still closed, Feng Guaner, who was lingering at the door, hesitated for a moment and finally knocked on the door.
She had come once in the morning and smelled the strong smell of alcohol in the room. Thinking that the person inside was still drunk, she didn't disturb him.
Since there was no response when she knocked on the door, she was used to it. She pushed the door open and entered.
However, after looking around the room, she didn't see Luo Zhao. The letter on the table attracted her attention. She took the envelope and pulled out the letter inside. Just the word "divorce letter" shocked her. After reading the rest of the letter, Feng Guaner immediately ran out and shouted, "Come, come!"
Not long after, a group of people in the mansion searched inside and outside. The garrison outside was also mobilized to search the whole city. They also sent a golden-winged message to the surrounding relay stations, asking them to report immediately if they found the target.
Little did they know that Luo Zhao had already gone far away and was overlooking the vast land from high up in the sky …
In a corner of the Thatched Cottage in Zijin Cave, Yuan Gang was silent as he read the news that had just been sent to him.
Luo Zhao's disappearance was a little big. A large number of people were looking for him. It was hard for the spies there not to know about it, so they sent the news as soon as possible.
"Luo Zhao is missing?" Niu Youdao, who also saw the news, was a little surprised. He asked a disciple of Mount Wuliang in front of him, "Do you know why he disappeared?"
That disciple of Mount Wuliang said, "I'm not too sure about this. Our people didn't plant in Luo Zhao's mansion."
"This Luo Zhao is not a cultivator. He can avoid the guards in the mansion and escape the city alone. It seems that there is someone supporting him from the back …" Niu Youdao mumbled and raised his head to ask, "How did the monkey react when he saw the news?"
That disciple said, "There was no reaction. He only asked me to keep an eye on that Feng Guaner and inform him immediately if there is any news."
Niu Youdao said, "From today onwards, if there is any news about that Feng Guaner, let me see it first."
That disciple of Mount Wuliang cupped his hands and responded, "Yes!"
…
Wei Country, Grand Commandant's Mansion. After the eunuch who delivered the imperial edict left, Grand Commandant Nan Renyu held the imperial edict in his hand. He was still in a daze.
The emperor suddenly gave an imperial edict, saying that he had worked hard and performed meritorious deeds. He was conferred a title of 'Duke of Jade' and removed from his position as a Grand Commandant. It felt like a promotion but a demotion. What's the use of a Duke without any real power?
Whether he cared about this or not was secondary. The problem was that this matter came out of the blue. He didn't even catch any sign beforehand.
"Prepare the carriage!" After he came back to his senses, Nan Renyu yelled.
He wanted to ask Xuan Wei what was going on. Xuan Wei didn't know about this at all.
Xuan Wei didn't know about this at all. When Nan Renyu came and told her about it, she was quite shocked and rushed to the Imperial Palace at the first instance.
No one in the palace dared to stop her. She also had the privilege to enter and exit the palace without any notice.
In the imperial study room, the siblings met. The emperor who gave the imperial edict was actually a little nervous. Now that he saw that his royal sister was here and she looked angry, he smiled awkwardly.
"No need to be so courteous, no need to be so courteous." Xuan Chengtian personally ran over and helped his sister up.
"Etiquette cannot be abolished!" After Xuan Wei insisted on bowing, she asked seriously, "Did His Majesty give an imperial edict to Grand Commandant Nan Renyu?"
Xuan Chengtian touched his nose awkwardly. "Royal sister is well-informed."
Xuan Wei looked angry. "In other words, removing Grand Commandant Nan Renyu from his position is true?"
Xuan Chengtian didn't say anything. He crossed his arms in front of his abdomen, which meant that he agreed.
Xuan Wei said in a low voice, "Everything was fine. Why did you do this?"
Xuan Chengtian sighed and said, "Royal sister, he has held the power of the army for a long time. I was afraid that he would hold the army for himself, so I wanted to test his reaction."
Xuan Wei frowned. "His Majesty, it's a good thing that you have such thoughts. This is what an emperor should have. But can such a thing be tested so casually? He had been in the position of Grand Commandant for many years, and this was no longer his own matter. If he acted rashly, it would affect the generals under him, and there might be trouble. Besides, the three major sects won't agree to it if you do this. His Majesty, Nan Renyu is loyal to our dynasty, and he is completely trustworthy. Removing him from the position of Grand Commandant for no reason will make the soldiers suspicious, and it will shake the morale of the army. Your Majesty, please take back your order! "
Xuan Chengtian frowned. "The imperial edict has already been given. It's not appropriate to change it now, right? Royal sister, why don't we see the follow-up reaction first? "
Xuan Wei said, "Take back your order now while no one knows about it. Once it is spread, who knows what will happen. The three major sects will definitely ask you for an explanation. His Majesty, this is not a child's play. Please take back your order immediately! "
Under her repeated pressure, Xuan Chengtian finally took back his order.
Xuan Wei left with the imperial edict, while Xuan Chengtian returned to the back palace with a sullen face.
Imperial Consort Chang was already waiting for them. After sitting down with Xuan Chengtian, she asked tentatively, "Why are you so unhappy, Your Majesty?"
Xuan Chengtian said in a muffled voice, "I just gave the imperial edict to Nan Renyu, and royal sister came and forced me to take back my order!"
"Ah!" Imperial Consort Chang covered her mouth in shock and sucked in a breath of cold air. "Could it be that the rumors are true?"
Xuan Chengtian's face sank, and he didn't say a word …
In the forbidden area of the Heavenly Fire Cult, Fire Phoenix Nie Yunchang came with two food boxes.
Two disciples guarding the mountain stopped her and let her through after a routine inspection.
Tian Renan, who was in charge of the pavilion, smiled and greeted, "Food is here."
"Martial Aunt!" Nie Yunchang stepped forward and greeted Tian Renan. She placed two food containers on the stone table and pushed one of them to Tian Renan. "This is yours." She touched the other food container and continued, "I'll have to trouble Martial Uncle to pass this to him."
Tian Renan sighed. "Time really passes quickly. Ten years. In the blink of an eye, ten years have passed. Logically speaking, that brat should be out by now. I wonder what he is dawdling for." He sighed and shook his head, feeling bad for Fire Phoenix.
In these ten years, after grasping Kun Lin Shu's eating patterns in seclusion, Fire Phoenix would come over once every seven days. Every time, she would personally make two portions. One for this martial aunt, and the other for Kun Lin Shu, who was in seclusion.
Fire Phoenix turned back to look at the pitch-black entrance of the cave and muttered, "It should be soon."
Tian Renan waved his hand. "Go back, go back. I'll get someone to inform you if there's any news. I'll get someone to wash the food box and send it over."
Fire Phoenix stared at the Lightless Cave in a daze.
Tian Renan didn't care anymore. He opened the food box, took out the food inside, and ate happily.
Fire Phoenix, who was in a daze, suddenly blinked, thinking that she had seen wrongly. In the end, she wasn't. A figure suddenly flashed out from the Lightless Cave like a ghost and landed outside the cave, causing Fire Phoenix to be bewildered.
The newcomer's clothes were tattered and unbelievably dirty. Not only did his long hair fall over his shoulders, it dragged on the ground, and a dirty beard hung in front of his chest.
Tian Renan, who sensed the commotion, looked up and was delighted. Chewing something in his mouth, he vaguely said, "Girl, after waiting for ten years, he's finally come out."
Swallowing the food in her mouth, she turned to the disciple walking over and said, "What are you looking at? Ring the bell!"
Dang dang dang … The bell rang ten times, notifying the Heavenly Fire Order that the person who had been in seclusion for ten years had come out.
If not for Tian Renan's reminder, Fire Phoenix wouldn't have dared to recognize him. From the long hair and beard that covered his face, she could see the outline of her senior brother's eyebrows. Overjoyed, she shouted, "Senior brother!"
She immediately ran over, but was pulled back by Tian Renan, who reminded her, "Don't cross the boundary!"
The Lightless Cave did not allow people to approach without permission.
The man with tattered clothes and long hair slowly walked over to the side of the pavilion. First, he cupped his hands towards Tian Renan. "Martial Uncle!" Then, he nodded to Fire Phoenix. "Junior sister!"
"Senior brother!" Fire Phoenix cried happily.
Hearing the bell, the members of the Heavenly Fire Order came running over.
