The adopted daughter returns with a new face

Chapter 202: City Seal and Search

Mu Rongchen took Liang Anan out of the Wu Mansion, and met up with Yue Jingyun who was waiting outside the mansion, and Yang Feng who had rushed back from Guanzhilou, and they prepared to retreat to the city gate.

Yue Jingyun and Guan Zhilou didn't leave, one wanted to find Lan Rufeng, and the other wanted to seek revenge on Bai Chuchao. Suddenly, the sound of horse hooves rang out, and Wu Ye came back with his men.

"Don't worry, she's fine. Send An An out of the city first, and I will find her myself. Zhilou, Mo Qingshui and Sun Suyun are already dead. Wu Ye has rushed back, and Bai Chuchao must seal the city. We can't leave through the city gate. Let's go around from the direction of Jinjiang, otherwise, no one of us will be able to leave." Mu Rongchen persuaded the two to evacuate.

"Let's go! Master of Guanzhi Tower, Jingyun." Yang Feng said as he stretched out his hand to pull them up to Guanzhi Tower, and Qiu Shang and Yue Jingyun had no choice but to follow.

"On the city tower," Chen Fan heard reports from the camp that the granary was flooded. Wu Ye asked him to intensify the guarding of the city gate and ordered Yang Duan to do so. Suddenly, the lights at the city gate and on the city tower were brightly lit, which worried Zhong Yan and Zhang Cheng who were guarding outside.

Both of them couldn't help but worry about the situation of Prince Rong and his men in the city, silently praying for their safety, but they also knew that it was impossible for them to evacuate from here. The only way to retreat was to go around the back and decisively go around the tower to the woods on the left.

Bai Chuchao was waiting in the hall, while Hongmei waited on him carefully. Bai Zhiyi was waiting at the door of the hall, while the housekeeper summoned the guards to search the house. Wu Ye came back and saw Bai Zhiyi in front of the hall and asked, "Is your highness okay?"

"Your Highness is fine in the hall." Bai Zhiyi had just answered Wu Ye when he saw Qing Wu running back in a hurry and asked, "What's going on?"

Qing Wu did not reply to Bai Zhiyi, but decisively ran into the hall and showed the two embroidery needles to the master, and reported: "Your Highness, the leader and Sun Hufa were killed, and Liang Anan was rescued."

"What..." Wu Ye and Bai Zhiyi were shocked.

"Lan Rufeng..." Bai Chuchao looked at the two embroidery needles in Qingwu's hand, slammed his palm on the table angrily and stood up, "Wu Ye, block the whole city immediately, and dig three feet into the ground to find the person for me."

"Yes..." Wu Ye took the order and turned around to seal off the city.

"Where are the people in the dark? A bunch of trash." Bai Chuchao cursed and hurried out of the hall towards Chen Pavilion. Bai Zhiyi and Qingwu followed him. Qingwu reported the situation in the attic truthfully to His Highness.

Bai Zhiyi heard that Mo Qingshui and Sun Suyun were killed by a hidden weapon, and there was no trace of a fight in the room. The hidden weapon was the two embroidery needles, which reminded him of his sister being hit by Lan Rufeng's hidden weapon, and Hongdou having her neck broken.

As soon as they arrived outside Chen Pavilion, the butler reported that more than ten soldiers and guards who had been killed had been carried out from behind the rockery and the flowers. Bai Chuchao was so angry that he clenched his fists and turned away.

"Where is your highness going?" Bai Zhiyi asked as he and Qingwu hurriedly followed their master who did not answer. Wu Bo asked his men to continue searching.

After Lan Rufeng finished washing the "ear room", she returned to the room wearing her inner garment and holding her clothes. When she put on her middle garment, the door of the room was kicked open with a bang, which scared several maids and made them sit up from the bed.

"Sir, Sir..." When the maids saw that it was the prince, they were so scared that they got out of bed and knelt on the ground.

"Young Master, General, what's wrong?" Wang Xiuer looked at Bai Chu and asked the three of them with a confused look on her face.

"Tell me, sir, where did you go after dinner?" Bai Chuchao asked as he walked straight up to Wang Xiuer.

Lan Rufeng took a step back and said, "My lord, Xiu'er went to the kitchen and found a basin to bathe and wash. She has just cleaned herself up."

Bai Chuchao glanced coldly at the four people, Hongye, who were lying on the ground. Hongye hurriedly replied, "Sir, Xiu'er just arrived and has nothing to wash. She did go to find a basin just now."

"Really?" Bai Chuchao reached out and grabbed Wang Xiuer's hand, and used his fingers silently to test whether she had internal strength.

"Sir, sir, men and women should not touch each other." Lan Rufeng pretended to be nervous and pulled her hand away. Naturally, she also saw through Bai Chuchao's trick of probing her internal strength. After returning, she used silver needles to seal her internal strength.

"Without internal strength..." Bai Chuchao thought to himself and threw Wang Xiu'er away, but he was still worried and said, "Put on your clothes and follow the master to the front yard."

"Master, it's too late." Lan Rufeng muttered deliberately.

"Just wear it when I tell you to. How dare you question the master's words?" Qing Wu scolded.

"I dare not, sister. Xiu'er will put it on right away." Lan Rufeng shook her head in fear, bent down and put on the coat, then followed the others out of the house and walked to the front yard.

When Hongye and the others saw their master leaving, they collapsed to the ground, and after a long time they got up and sat on the bed. They were too afraid to sleep, and they quickly got dressed and went out to see what had happened.

Lan Rufeng followed the three people to the front yard and saw the bodies of more than twenty guards and soldiers laid out in the yard, with a dozen guards standing beside them. She was secretly shocked that the bastard Mu Rongchen had killed so many people silently. She pretended to be scared and grabbed Bai Zhiyi's sleeve and shrank behind him.

"They are all good-for-nothings..." Bai Chuchao looked at the people on the ground, and was so angry that he almost vomited blood. He cursed at the guards in the courtyard, and the guards were so scolded that they dared not say a word.

Wu Bo was also very frightened, and reported with gritted teeth, "Your Highness, it was the groom Ah Zhong. He was killed and hidden in the haystack in the stable. It must have been done by the person who rescued Liang An'an."

Bai Chu stepped forward and took a look at the tall and thin A Zhong and Lan Rufeng. They were similar in figure, which made him more certain that it was Lan Rufeng who killed Mo Qingshui and Sun Suyun and rescued Liang Anan.

Bai Zhiyi glanced at Wang Xiuer who was cowering behind him in fear, and said to his master: "Sir, there must be several of them who entered the city, and burning the granary was a feint to the east and attack in the west to create chaos. If Zhiyi is not wrong, it must be the work of Guanzhilou.

The purpose is to lure the young master out of the house. Who knows, someone might be lying in ambush outside. Lan Rufeng is very skilled in martial arts and sneaked into the house to rescue Liang Anan. Although the city is sealed, I am afraid that Mu Rongchen and others are outside the city to meet them. "

"Even if he takes Liang Anan with him, he won't be able to get out. Qingwu, go and take the people from the Baiyue Sect to search for you. They will definitely capture Lan Rufeng for you. As for Guanzhi Tower, there is no need to keep them. If you find anyone, deal with them on the spot." Bai Chuchao ordered.

Qing Wu took the order and turned around and hurried out of the house. Now that the leader and Sun Suyun were both dead, there were only her and Bai Shou in the sect, and she had the final say.

"General, Xiu'er is scared." Lan Rufeng tightly grasped Bai Zhiyi's clothes, looking pitiful. In his heart, he was about to burst into laughter, cursing secretly: "Mu Rongchen, you dead bastard, you really know how to pick people and put all the trouble on her."

Bai Chuchao glanced at Wang Xiuer, and said angrily: "Go and Hongmei to boil some water for the young master to make tea."

"Okay..." Lan Rufeng responded in a low voice and ran away with Hongmei. When they turned the corner, they saw Hongye and the others hiding behind them.

"Hongmei, what happened?" Hongye asked, and everyone followed the two to the kitchen.

"An assassin entered the mansion and rescued the woman from Chen Ge, and the young master got angry." Hongmei replied, "Don't go to the front yard to disturb the young master, so as to avoid his anger."

"Okay..." Hongye agreed, and several people hurried to the kitchen.

Bai Chuchao asked the butler to carry everyone down and sat in the hall waiting for news. He didn't believe that Lan Rufeng could grow wings and fly out of Moshui City, leaving him nowhere to hide at dawn.

Wu Ye sealed off the city, and the soldiers were divided into teams of ten to search the city, searching house by house for Lan Rufeng, Liang Anan and the others, causing chaos in the city. The people had complaints but dared not cooperate with the search, but they didn't know that Lan Rufeng was in the Wu Mansion, and Mu Rongchen and the others had already retreated towards Jinjiang City.
