Chapter 499 Recognized
At five o'clock that night, the crowing of cocks signaled the city gates to open, and a horse-drawn carriage slowly drove out of the city.
The soldiers at the gate were doing a routine inspection. A young man with an ordinary appearance jumped off the carriage and said respectfully:
"Sir, the people sitting in the carriage are my wife and mother. We are going to the south to attend your sister's wedding banquet. We have to leave early because we are in a hurry, otherwise we won't be able to arrive in two days. If you don't believe me, just wait and see."
The curtain of the carriage was lifted, and the soldiers guarding the gate looked inside. As expected, they saw a young woman and a gray-haired woman sitting in the carriage.
The woman even pretended to cough a few times, "Cough cough cough..."
"Let's go!" The officers and soldiers didn't think much about it and just let them go!
The young man immediately said in a flattering manner: "Thank you, sir. Thank you, sir."
The carriage left the city smoothly. When Xie Liuzheng found that the city gate of Dongchen Kingdom was no longer visible, he changed his pretentious attitude and directly lifted the curtain.
The young woman inside is undoubtedly Hua Feixue, and the woman with gray hair is Ji Yuntang.
He himself plays the husband who plays the driver.
Ji Yuntang temporarily changed everyone's outfit for the purpose of hiding their identities.
Xie Liuzheng was furious when he saw Hua Feixue sitting with her legs crossed and leaning lazily against the carriage, looking even more dissolute than himself.
"Sister Yuntang, why didn't you tell me that you were going to take the dog prince's concubine with you to Western Shu?"
"Aren't you afraid that she will reveal our whereabouts?"
Ji Yuntang explained: "Brother, she is one of us, don't worry!"
Xie Liuzheng was still worried, "But she is the most favored concubine of Prince Gou, and Prince Gou has been taking her to various places in the capital recently. How do you know if she has rebelled?"
The corner of Ji Yuntang's mouth twitched. She knew that if the three of them were to travel together, some things would have to be made clear.
The fact that Hua Feixue has been deeply favored by the prince during this period is no longer a secret in the capital.
Many people said that she was very capable, which was why she climbed into the prince's bed when Ji Qingqing was just imprisoned.
It was also well known in the capital that Xie Liuzheng and Luo Jingshen did not get along.
Now that he sees Hua Feixue, it is inevitable that he will become suspicious.
Ji Yuntang glanced at Hua Feixue and saw that she didn't show any reaction. Finally, he explained helplessly: "Brother, Hua Feixue is a man and the leader of the Blood Rain Sect. She was with the prince just to act and confuse him. In fact, he had already reached a cooperation with me!"
It would have been fine if Ji Yuntang didn't say anything, but as soon as he said it, Xie Liuzheng exploded!
"What did you say!? The guy who sent people to assassinate Qingge and this prince was this guy?"
Ji Yuntang: "..."
Ji Yuntang: "!!!"
She cried out in despair, she had actually forgotten about this!
Seeing that the two were on the verge of a fight, Ji Yuntang hurriedly explained: "Brother, it's a misunderstanding, it's all a misunderstanding."
Xie Liuzheng said angrily: "What misunderstanding? Last time, this guy sent more than a hundred assassins from the Blood Rain Sect to assassinate the Ninth Princess. If this prince hadn't escorted her back to the palace, she would have died under the sword of the assassins from the Blood Rain Sect!"
"They almost caused me to lose my princess consort, and they also stabbed me in the shoulder. This is a blood feud, how can it be resolved by a misunderstanding?"
Hua Feixue leaned lazily in the carriage, raised her eyebrows, and looked at Xie Liuzheng from head to toe.
"I guess this must be the Duke of Rong's mansion, the Prince Xie, who is known as the most dissolute man in the capital, right?"
"When I saw it today, it was indeed extraordinary."
Xie Liuzheng rolled up his sleeves, glared at Hua Feixue and said, "Stop talking nonsense. Don't think that I will let you go just by saying a few nice words!"
"Your men almost killed both of us. This matter is not over yet!"
Hua Feixue was not angry at all. Instead, she sneered, "Then have you ever thought about why my people would kill the Ninth Princess?"
"This is all because of you."
Xie Liuzheng frowned and said unhappily: "What does this have to do with me?"
"Of course it's related, because you were flirting with other girls outside and were too close to the Ninth Princess, which made the Tenth Princess jealous. Didn't she spend money to hire someone to kill the Ninth Princess?"
After Hua Feixue finished speaking, it was Xie Liuzheng's turn to be shocked, "This was actually arranged by Luo Qianxue?"
"What else?" Hua Feixue said with a smile: "If you hadn't been a hero in saving the beauty during the assassination attempt, causing the Ninth Princess to change her opinion of you, would you be able to marry the beauty now?"
"Speaking of which, you should thank this sect master for helping you two find a good match."
Xie Liuzheng: "..."
Xie Liuzheng: "!!!"
He had seen shameless people, but he had never seen anyone as shameless as Hua Feixue.
This person is even more shameless than him.
Xie Liuzheng asked Ji Yuntang, "Where did you get to know such a shameless person?"
Ji Yuntang: "..."
Xie Liuzheng really asks questions that are not related to the topic. Why is he asking this for no reason?
She couldn't say that she stole from his Blood Rain Gate warehouse, right?
Ji Yuntang's eyelids twitched, and he turned around to meet Hua Feixue's dark and unfathomable eyes.
She said quickly: "Master Hua and I, we didn't know each other until we fought, but fortunately we had a common goal and a common enemy, so we quickly reached a settlement."
"The last time the Gou Prince was going to massacre the Night Palace in the middle of the night, it was Master Hua who told me in advance, which gave me extra time to plan and respond."
Xie Liuzheng asked again, "Then why did you take him with you when you went to Western Shu? Is he also from Western Shu?"
This time, before Ji Yuntang answered, Hua Feixue took the initiative to speak.
"You are at least a bit smart. This sect master is the crown prince Chu Yi of Western Shu."
"Your sister wants the dragon scale grass, the most precious treasure of the royal family of Western Shu, to save the life of the Night King, so naturally, I, the sect master, must come to help."
Xie Liuzheng had never thought that there was such a connection between them. He asked in shock: "Sister Yuntang, is what he said true?"
Ji Yuntang nodded, "It's true. The forbidden land of the royal family of Western Shu needs the blood of a pure yang prince to open it, and Prince Chu Yi is now the only blood of the royal family of Western Shu. If I want the dragon scale grass, I have to rely on his help."
"So brother, just stop bothering with him, okay?"
Xie Liuzheng frowned slightly, and said suspiciously: "I can ignore it, but this is not right!"
"Since he is the crown prince of Western Shu, why would he dress up as a woman and call himself the leader of the sect?"
"As far as I know, the Xueyu Sect has been established for more than ten years. The Sect Master Xue Feihua should be a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties. How could he be so young and handsome like him?"
"Sister Yuntang, I know you are simple-minded, don't be fooled by him!"
