Upon hearing this, several guards pushed open the door and entered.
Without hesitation, they took Lin Gong away.
Although Lin Gong was somewhat unwilling, seeing Lin Ruofu's unusually serious expression,
Startled, he obediently followed the guard.
Subsequently,
Yuan Hongdao slowly emerged from behind the screen.
"Sir, now that the incident at Niulan Street has occurred, you must make a decision as soon as possible."
Lin Ruofu sighed, "How could I not know? But before this, I never imagined that the Crown Prince would have a relationship with Li Chungang!"
"Now that Ye Liuyun has also entered the Eastern Palace, the fate of the Qing Kingdom is likely to change."
Yuan Hongdao remained silent.
He was placed undercover in the Prime Minister's residence for many years under Chen Pingping's arrangement.
But no one expected that there would be such a change in the Gyeonggu Kingdom.
He didn't know much about the Niulan Street incident.
But judging from the current situation, apart from Li Chungang,
At least two Grandmasters, including Ye Liuyun, have made their move!
The power of a Grandmaster is immense, regardless of the time!
Faced with such power,
No matter how much he schemes and plots, it's probably not as effective as a single sword strike from the enemy.
Unfortunately, I wonder if the dean has received the message.
I wonder when I'll be able to return and take charge!
The next morning,
The guards from the Eastern Palace standing outside Zuixianju checked the time.
Under the bewildered gaze of a staff member from the Control Yuan,
They all packed up and left Zuixianju.
at the same time,
As Zhu Ge was rubbing his tired eyes, he suddenly heard his subordinate report.
"My lord, the guards of the Eastern Palace have all been withdrawn."
Zhu Ge was startled, his face full of surprise.
"They've all left?"
The subordinate replied confidently, "They've all retreated!"
Zhu Ge frowned deeply. What was this all about?
His expression suddenly changed: "This is bad! Quickly order a search of Zuixianju!"
He gave the instructions and hurried towards Zuixianju.
However, he felt somewhat uneasy.
There's probably no one left in this Drunken Immortal Abode right now.
He was just a little puzzled,
If Si Lili escapes, it will confirm her identity as a spy from Northern Qi.
Why would the Crown Prince secretly help a spy from Northern Qi?
Moreover, the Crown Prince's actions...
Did they already know Si Lili's true identity?
What kind of tactic is it for a crown prince to help a spy from an enemy country?
Isn't the Crown Prince afraid of criticism from the entire court and His Majesty's wrath?
Jug is completely baffled!
As he was thinking about these things, he had just arrived outside Zuixianju when one of his men returned with a message.
"Sir, the place is empty. We've been tricked."
Even though Zhu Ge had a premonition, he couldn't help but feel angry at this moment.
The Crown Prince's actions of playing tricks on him are not something a qualified heir apparent should do!
"Tell Yan Ruohai to coordinate with four other locations to conduct a patrol and capture the Northern Qi spy, Si Lili!"
"She can't run far in a day!"
"Zhu Ge said coldly."
"Yes, my lord!"
The man responded and immediately relayed the order.
Zhu Ge wanted to go to the Eastern Palace to question the Crown Prince, but he didn't have the courage.
After thinking it over, he decided to go back to the Control Yuan first.
East Palace.
Early in the morning, Li Chengqian came to find Ye Liuyun.
"Master Ye, there is something I need you to do."
Ye Liuyun paused, sighing inwardly.
He had only just started his post as a guest advisor to the Crown Prince.
I'm about to be assigned a task.
"Since I have already agreed to serve as a guest advisor to His Highness the Crown Prince, I will give you my orders!"
Li Chengqian nodded.
He spared Ye Liuyun's life and even promised to ensure the Ye family's wealth and safety.
Isn't it only right to let Ye Liuyun do things for me?
So he went straight to the point and asked, "Have you ever heard of my 'Prosperous Flower Pavilion'?"
"There is a woman in the building named Si Lili, who is a spy planted in our capital by the Northern Qi."
"We have now escaped Kyoto, and it took us about a day to get there."
"Si Lili?" Ye Liuyun's eyes flickered slightly.
He has been back in Kyoto for several days now.
Naturally, he knew of this woman who was incredibly famous in Kyoto.
Regardless of when the bright moon appears, or the red-clad woman,
All of these have earned praise and even fervent admiration from countless people.
Even he couldn't resist, and after countless people told him about it, he bought a ticket.
I went to see one of this young lady, Si Lili's, performances.
All I can say is that it is truly amazing.
He had traveled all over China and had never seen a performance style like that of Fan Hua Lou.
It must be said, it was truly a rare audio-visual treat!
But is this Si Lili actually a spy from Northern Qi?
A spy from Northern Qi actually had the support of the Crown Prince of Qing...
She became the most popular courtesan in Kyoto and even the entire Qing Kingdom.
That's really strange!
He looked at Li Chengqian and said, "Does Your Highness want me to bring her back?"
Under Ye Liuyun's gaze,
Li Chengqian gently shook his head. "Why arrest her? Not only will I not arrest her, I will also ensure her safe return to Northern Qi."
"However, the journey is not peaceful, so Master Ye will need to escort us for a while."
Ye Liuyun was somewhat confused about what Li Chengqian wanted to do.
But he was too lazy to think about it.
It was just escorting a woman to Northern Qi.
For him, it shouldn't be too simple!
However, the Kingdom of Qing is so vast...
Even though he was a grandmaster, he couldn't possibly search for the other party aimlessly.
"Your Highness, although this matter is simple, I am afraid that I alone may not be able to find the whereabouts of Si Lili."
Li Chengqian smiled and said, "Master Ye, just set off. Someone will send you messages along the way."
Since that's the case, Ye Liuyun had nothing more to say.
He immediately took his leave and departed.
A moment later, Jingni delivered a letter from Luo Wang.
The document details Si Lili's escape route.
She seemed to be riding north on horseback in a perfectly legitimate manner.
But in reality, it had already quietly turned east and headed straight for Danzhou Port.
They planned to leave Nanqing by sea and return to Beiqi.
