The prince is very cruel

"Yes!!"

Hundreds of imperial guards rushed out, full of murderous intent.

After all, they are carefully selected imperial guards, not good-for-nothings. After encountering such a big change, they still showed their powerful abilities.

The rattling of armor continued, and mobilizations continued. Almost half of the imperial guards rushed out of the palace, with torches lit and gongs and drums beating to convey signals.

The huge capital seemed to have revived. Many dignitaries were awakened from their sleep. When they heard the panicked sounds of soldiers and horses outside, they thought that rebels had entered the capital.

The snowy night was biting. Looking down from the sky, this huge and majestic capital city was lit up with countless lights, especially the four major city gates. As the last barrier of the imperial palace, and due to local rebellions, the army stationed here was countless, at least tens of thousands. At a glance, it was densely packed with people.

At this moment, the bows and arrows are ready, and three layers of traps have been laid. Even if an army comes, it will be difficult to break out!

On a high building in Prince Feng's Palace, a graceful figure stood against the wind and snow, her long hair flying. She looked worriedly at the direction where the army was marching, her face, both strong and gentle, full of anxiety.

"I must go out!" she murmured, her slender hands clasped tightly together.

At the north city gate, snow fell and flames shot up into the sky.

“Here, here!!”

Rumble... A large group of imperial guards rushed over, splashing a lot of flying snow.

After they passed, Guan Ning poked his head out of the dark alley and looked around.

"Guan Ning, the imperial guards have discovered us. What should we do?" Yuan Xiang's voice was uneasy. She didn't want to die, nor did she want Guan Ning to be in danger.

Guan Ning frowned, "I don't know what happened. According to the plan, the Imperial Guards couldn't have reacted so quickly. Could it be that the people from Zhaoling returned early?"

He felt a little annoyed. If he had known earlier, he would have taken action two hours earlier and would not have been so passive.

"How about we find a place to hide first?" Yuan Xiang suggested.

Guan Ning shook his head: "There's nowhere to hide. Sooner or later, I'll be found."

"The old emperor would find me even if he had to dig three feet deep into the ground."

Yuan Xiang's face turned pale when she heard this, but soon she bit her lip and her stubbornness came out: "Then I will fight you out with you!"

"Get out, and I'll marry you!"

"If we can't get out, we'll die together and never be separated!"

As she spoke, she pulled out the whip from her bag and tightly grasped Guan Ning's hand with one of her slender hands.

Guan Ning felt a little warmth, looked back at her, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth: "Don't worry, I will definitely take you out. This is what I promised your father."

"You are ready to be my bride."

Under the white goose-feather snow, his outline was extremely handsome.

Yuan Xiang was distracted for a moment. Even if she died in the capital tonight, she would not be afraid. She nodded heavily, and her little canine teeth were exposed in her smile. It didn't look like she was running away at all.

The next second, Guan Ning carried him on his back and pulled a board to block Yuan Xiang's back to prevent him from being hit by stray arrows.

"What are you doing?"

"I can leave!"

"This is too tiring for you!"

"Don't move, you're too slow and you'll easily fall behind." Guan Ning said in a strong voice.

Yuan Xiang'er wanted to say something but stopped herself and had no choice but to obey.

After finding a good opportunity, Guan Ning rushed out, but this time he didn't walk on the ground, but underground!

As the center of the Wu Dynasty, the ancient people in the capital were extremely wise. In order to solve the problem of water storage, they also dug many sewers. Although they were not as advanced as those in later generations, they were still able to allow people to pass through.

Guan Ning lifted a board and crawled in. Scattered moonlight shone in from the cracks in the floor, and from time to time the sound of galloping war horses could be heard above his head.

"No one's here!"

"There's no one here either!"

"Keep searching!"

"Your Majesty has ordered that we must bring him back, even if we have to dig three feet into the ground. Otherwise, we will be sent back with our heads held high!"

"Don't leave any house unsearched. Search thoroughly. Anyone who stands in your way will die!"

"Yes!!"

"..."

Hearing such a voice, Guan Ning remained calm, his eyes were like bright lights in the darkness, he crawled forward silently and resolutely.
