The White-Bone Demon of the Farm is as rich as a country

Chapter 330: City Closure

Commander Yu secretly groaned in his heart, he knew that he could no longer continue to pretend.

His already sinister eyes were now filled with even more resentment and anger. He glared at Ru Yue fiercely. He cursed inwardly, "What a foolish girl! If it weren't for your meddling, how could we have failed in capturing the Crown Prince today?"

Thinking of this, Commander Yu gritted his teeth, suddenly drew out the long sword from his waist, and swung it at the crowd that was gradually gathering around him without hesitation.

Each move was extremely fierce and aimed directly at the vital points. It was obvious that he was using all his strength to fight his way out.

However, despite Commander Yu's great martial arts skills, he was also very aware that at this moment he was alone facing so many well-trained opponents, and it would be extremely difficult for him to escape unscathed.

However, even if there is only a glimmer of hope, he will fight to the death.

After all, if I were to fall into the hands of these people, even if they didn't kill me immediately, given the ruthlessness of Emperor Mingde, I'm afraid they would never spare my life easily.

Ru Yue, who had been standing by and watching coldly, suddenly flashed and passed Chu Ning'an and the Crown Prince. She came to the guards and shouted loudly, "Capture this man quickly, regardless of life or death!"

These guards had all received help from Ru Yue to varying degrees along the way, so they naturally had more respect for Princess Xihe.

Hearing her giving orders now, how could anyone dare to be negligent? Moreover, not even His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Lord Chu had spoken out against what Princess Xihe had said.

After all the guards responded in unison, they rushed towards Commander Yu with weapons in hand.

Suddenly, shouts of killing rang out, and the whole scene became chaotic...

One had to admit that Yu Zhaolin, the commander of the imperial guards, was a martial arts prowess that was more than just a name. He faced numerous enemies alone, and at first he was able to barely keep himself safe.

Ru Yue suddenly said something, which made the East Palace guards, who were already at a disadvantage, instantly change their strategy and thinking.

Faced with the sudden change in enemy tactics, Yu Zhaolin gradually lost his previous advantage.

Before long, wounds began to appear on his body, and blood stained his clothes.

Chu Ning'an, who had been observing this fierce battle, now had a clear idea of the final outcome of the battle.

Chu Ning'an quickly walked up to the Crown Prince, bowed respectfully, and said, "Your Highness, in my opinion, Yu Zhaolin dared to so brazenly leave the capital with a secret decree to intercept you. I'm afraid something serious must have happened in the capital.

I believe that the best course of action right now is for us to quickly disguise ourselves and return to the capital as soon as possible to prevent the situation from worsening further."

The prince himself was not a stupid person. After witnessing Yu Zhaolin's arrogant behavior, he was also deeply worried about the safety of the capital.

Hearing what Chu Ning'an said at this moment, he nodded in agreement without hesitation.

The prince ordered more than ten guards with high martial arts skills to stay behind to continue fighting with Yu Zhaolin in order to tie down the enemy; while the rest of the people took off their conspicuous official uniforms, changed into ordinary people's clothes, and dispersed to blend into the crowd.

They will silently protect the prince's personal safety in secret and ensure that his journey back to Beijing is foolproof.

Their group seemed a little anxious and uneasy, as not a single person among them knew the mysterious art of disguise.

Ru Yue had learned exquisite makeup skills in her previous life, and they finally came in handy at this moment.

Ru Yue held various makeup tools and carefully performed her skills on the faces of the prince and Chu Ning'an.

After some careful painting and modification, when the prince and Chu Ning'an looked at the mirror again, they couldn't help but widen their eyes - they couldn't recognize themselves in the mirror at all!

The unfamiliar face seemed to have nothing to do with the original appearance, and even the subtle details were handled so skillfully that it was difficult to detect any flaws.

Despite this, the two of them still looked at themselves in the mirror for a long time, repeatedly confirming whether the new image in front of them could really deceive the world.

Finally, after confirming it beyond a doubt, their anxious hearts finally settled down a little.

So, with this disguised confidence, they set out on their journey home.

Along the way, we slept in the open and were exhausted, but our eagerness did not diminish in the slightest.

Just as they were getting closer and closer to Kyoto, an unexpected obstacle stood before them: the entire capital was under a state of high martial law, and all the city gates were closed, like an indestructible fortress.

No matter who you are, no matter what the reason, you are prohibited from entering or leaving the capital without the emperor's personal order.

Faced with this sudden change, the prince's brows were tightly furrowed, forming two deep grooves.

He looked at the soldiers patrolling back and forth on the city wall, and his mood instantly plummeted to the bottom, feeling extremely heavy.

After a moment's silence, the Crown Prince said in a hoarse voice to Chu Ning'an beside him, "Ning'an, I'm afraid something big has happened in the palace. I must go to the city as soon as possible and find out what happened."

Upon hearing this, Chu Ning'an's expression also became solemn. They knew very well that the situation was unclear at the moment, and if they rashly let the prince take the risk of entering the city, the consequences would be disastrous.

But seeing the prince's anxious look, he couldn't bear to stop him...

"Don't worry, Your Highness. I've already arranged for someone to go and gather information. Please wait patiently for a moment. Later, we'll try to contact His Majesty or Marquis Wu'an and make a long-term plan."

......

Ru Yue put on makeup for the prince and Chu Ning'an, and then led An Yi away quietly.

Along the way, they didn't delay too much, traveling light and without stopping. When they were about to reach the capital, Ru Yue successfully reconnected with the people who had stayed in the outer city.

Just when Chu Ning'an and the prince encountered obstacles and were stopped outside the city by the soldiers guarding the city, Ru Yue had already successfully sneaked into the courtyard of "Zhuifeng" in the capital city through the familiar secret passage.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, a figure came up to me hurriedly.

"Sister, you are finally back!" Aji looked at Ru Yue with joy on his face, but his eyes could not hide the anxiety and eagerness.

Ru Yue knew that the current situation was extremely tense and there was no time to waste, so she asked directly, "Aji, where is your master?"

"Master said something big was going to happen in the capital, and he was really worried, so he decided to go out and check it out himself." Ah Ji looked up at the gradually darkening sky and said hesitantly, "Based on this time, he should be back soon."

At this moment, a hurried and urgent shout came from the door: "Aji, Tietou! Close the door quickly! Hurry up!"

Everyone was startled when they heard this familiar voice.

Ru Yue stood up immediately upon hearing the voice and hurried towards the gate. She saw Blind Tang running towards her with a panicked look on his face and staggering steps.

"Mr. Tang, what happened? Why are you so panicked?" Ru Yue looked concerned and hurried forward to ask.

Blind Tang was breathing heavily, and beads of sweat the size of beans kept rolling down his forehead.

He gathered himself together and said to Ru Yue with a serious expression, "The young lady is finally back. I'm afraid there will be a big change in the capital this time."

Ru Yue knew very well that Blind Tang was usually a steady person and was definitely not the kind of person who would speak nonsense easily.

Now even he is so frightened, which shows that the situation in the capital has indeed reached an extremely critical juncture.

She hurriedly comforted him, "Sir, don't worry. Have some tea and calm yourself down, then tell me the details."
