In this way, another three days passed.

The heavy rain that lasted for almost a month finally stopped.

However, the gates of Yunmeng City were still not opened, and more and more refugees gathered under the city walls.

Xiao Beiwang stood with his hands behind his back in a hidden corner of the city wall, looking at the refugees below who were clamoring to open the city gate.

There were densely packed heads, and roughly speaking, there were nearly ten thousand people.

From afar, there were refugees rushing here one after another, and there were even people lying on the roadside due to hunger.

Faced with such a situation, the county magistrate and guards of Yunmeng dared not open the city gates.

Just let the soldiers hold the door tightly and not go out.

However, this is not a solution at all.

If the number of refugees increases, there may be riots.

Xiao Beiwang felt mixed emotions.

On the one hand, he felt for the suffering of the people, and on the other hand, he was worried that if this happened, the Xiao and Tao families would have a hard time even trying to save themselves, let alone leave the city.

However, we definitely cannot stay in Yunmeng City any longer.

Seeing this expression on Xiao Beiwang's face.

The other two people standing behind him looked at each other and were also worried.

The man on the left is dressed in black and has an ordinary appearance. He is the type that can be invisible in a crowd.

The other person was dressed in white, and was extremely beautiful, and it was hard to tell whether he was androgynous. He was the type that you would never forget at first sight.

There was such a huge contrast between the two men, but there was only respect in their eyes when they looked at Xiao Beiwang.

One of them is the leader of Xiao Beiwang's secret guards, named Fengying.

The other one is responsible for collecting intelligence, his name is Feng Sheng.

Feng Sheng originally stayed in Shengjing, but because of Xiao Beiwang's call, he rushed here.

It was also because he had extremely important news to report to Xiao Beiwang.

"Master, three days ago, the Second Prince was assassinated. The Second Prince's uncle, Duke Dingguo, has taken it upon himself to secretly keep the First Prince under custody."

Feng Sheng reported the situation to Xiao Beiwang in a low voice.

Xiao Beiwang frowned after hearing this.

"There is such a thing! What is the situation now?"

He didn't expect things to develop in this direction.

Duke Dingguo is no pushover, and in his rage, it is inevitable that he would do some rebellious things.

If this happens, the Xuan Dynasty will be in chaos!

"The news hasn't spread to the court yet. Judging by the time, that person should have just received the news."

That person refers to Emperor Wu Zhao Liu Duan.

It seems that he has received the news and must be very angry.

He probably didn't expect such a difficult situation to arise, right?

Who told him to plot against even his own son!

It now seems that the news has spread to both Huzhou and Xiangzhou, otherwise so many refugees would not have flocked here.

Because of what happened to the eldest prince and the second prince, they definitely cannot take care of disaster relief.

In this case, the people will be hungry and will definitely cause trouble.

The siege of the major county capitals in these two places is just the beginning.

I wonder what Emperor Wu Zhao would think when he heard this news?

Xiao Beiwang couldn't help but sneer.

"Find a way to get the news of the Second Prince's death out of Shengjing."

Xiao Beiwang ordered in a deep voice.

In that case, let's make the water a little more muddy.

It could also force Emperor Xuan to find a way to arrange people to provide disaster relief.

In this way, the people will suffer less and the difficulties here can be resolved quickly.

As for whether Emperor Xuan would be overwhelmed and the people in the court would be in panic, that was not his business.

More importantly, An Yu has not appeared in the past few days. He was worried that he would hide in the dark and look for an opportunity to give him a fatal blow.

If things really get chaotic, I think An Yu won't be able to take care of him for the time being.

Feng Sheng understood his master's intention after a brief thought and felt that this method was very clever.

"Yes!"

Feng Sheng happily agreed, and the excitement in his tone even made Feng Ying look sideways.

The reason why Feng Sheng was so excited was because he thought his master would remain silent from then on.

Even when the Xiao family was falsely accused of murdering the prince and had the intention of treason, they were not unable to escape.

But the master chose exile, which is the most passive response.

During this period of time, his master has kept him on hold.

Today's order is the first time the master has taken the initiative.

I think it's because the master has someone he cares about and he has become cautious about what he is doing and can no longer keep giving in.

Thinking of this, Feng Sheng glanced at Feng Ying proudly.

I know the secret of my master, don't you, you idiot, know it?

Fengying was somewhat confused by Fengsheng's look and he ignored him.

"You came here this time, saying you have news about my aunt?"

Xiao Beiwang asked.

Feng Sheng suddenly came to his senses.

Didn't he come here just for this matter?

"Yes, Master. After several inquiries, we finally found that Princess Huayang appeared in Nanguan."

Feng Sheng paused for a moment and told us his findings.

Princess Huayang is Xiao Beiwang’s aunt Xiao Renfeng.

His whereabouts have been unknown since he disappeared in Beiguan thirteen years ago.

The Xiao family never gave up looking for her, but unfortunately they never found her.

I didn't expect that she came from Beiguan to Nanguan.

One in the south and one in the north, no wonder there is no news about her.

"However, the princess only appeared in the Nanguan area, and the specific location has not been found yet."

Feng Sheng pondered for a moment, his tone obscure.

As Xiao Beiwangang's right-hand man and in charge of intelligence, he has not made any progress in all these years and has not been able to find the princess for his master. He feels very guilty about that.

This time, he wanted to check the whereabouts of the princess himself.

"It's okay. It won't be too late to look for it when we get to Nanzhou."

I waited for thirteen years, and now such a short time is nothing.

Just like Old Madam Xiao, when she learned that her only daughter was missing, she cried her eyes out at first and often mentioned it.

Later on, the topic was gradually forgotten, but Xiao Beiwang knew that his grandmother had never forgotten his aunt.

Even during this exile, she took all of her aunt's belongings with her.

Feng Sheng nodded.

The first priority now is to get out of Yunmeng City first.

If it were just the Xiao family, this wouldn't be difficult.

The difficulty lies in having to bring the Tao family along.

There were a large number of people in that family, including many elderly, weak, women and children.

Because of that woman, he couldn't say anything to ask his master to give up.

No matter what, he has come here, and together with Fengying, he will definitely be able to lead so many people out smoothly.

"Master, there is also the matter of the brother and sister you asked Fengying to hand over to me."

Feng Sheng hesitated to speak.

Xiao Beiwang just remembered that Feng Sheng was talking about Langsheng and Ruixin.

Because I had to rush to Nanzhou, it was not convenient to take them both with me.

In addition, they wanted to find Rui Xin's father Xu Danian.

So he handed the two men over to Fengying.

Fengying had someone escort them to Beiguan, and asked Fengsheng to keep an eye on them along the way.

Is there any problem now?

Xiao Beiwang asked Feng Sheng to explain in detail.

"Xu Danian is already dead. Cheng Shaoan ordered his execution. It was just to make an example of him."

Feng Sheng looked unhappy.

Xu Danian was just a cook. His master had asked him to send a message to those close generals, asking them to keep their troops in place and temporarily obey Cheng Shaoan's orders.

However, cooks like Xu Danian were unaware of this.

Therefore, Cheng Shaoan ordered the upright Xu Danian to be executed for disobeying him.

He was also responsible for this matter and felt extremely guilty.
