Chapter 1062 The Dual Personality of the Useless Eldest Prince Xiao Chuanyun
Yan Jue quickly found Ye Ying and asked, "Do you have any way to get us out of the Great Zhou?"
Nightshade said in a deep voice, "What happened? Why do you suddenly want to leave Great Zhou again?"
Yan Jue whispered, "I'm only telling you this because you're my own brother. We have to leave. Our godfather's moles in the Great Zhou have been discovered by the Hidden God Camp."
Night Shadow fell into deep thought. Had Mr. Ge found out about their people hiding in Da Zhou so quickly?
Seeing that he was distracted, Yan Jue asked suspiciously, "Could it be that you leaked the information to your former master? Are you a traitor?"
Night Shadow said coldly, "I only stayed to find out who killed our parents and then kill them to avenge them. I don't care about anything else. Besides, did you tell me that you still have spies in the Great Zhou? Haven't you been wary of your own brother all this time?"
Yan Jue did indeed send people to watch him, but he didn't do anything unusual. He asked in confusion, "No, but there's a traitor among us. Who betrayed us?"
Night Shadow didn't speak. He also wanted to know who it was. Many of their people came and went, and he remembered their appearances and names. One of them, Manager Wang, had said that he wanted to go home to visit.
He didn't press the matter further at the time, because people like them are most averse to digging into their family's affairs, and he hadn't seen Manager Wang again in the past few days.
"Fortunately, not all of them have been found." Yan Jue added, "No matter who it is, we need to leave Da Zhou as soon as possible. Think of a way to bring us here."
Nightshade heard him mutter the previous sentence and casually said, "Now that we've all been exposed, they must have set up checkpoints all over the place. This is a common tactic used by the government, so escaping won't be easy!"
"You're a citizen of the Great Zhou, and even you can't do anything about it?"
Nightshade shook his head, "I didn't. Don't forget I'm a dead man now, and you've ruined my face. Back then..."
Yan Jue became irritated as soon as he heard him mention the situation at the time of the incident. "Fine, I'll figure it out myself."
At this moment, Yan Jue saw a group of beggars on the road. He had a sudden inspiration: "There are indeed many beggars and poor people in the Great Zhou Dynasty."
Night Shadow was speechless when he heard his idea. He wanted to disguise himself as a beggar and leave the Great Zhou Kingdom. There was a war in the Northwest. Wouldn't it be more suspicious if so many of them disguised themselves as beggars and headed in the Northwest?
Nightshade said nothing; he thought it was time to avenge his deceased parents.
So they disguised themselves as beggars and headed northwest. Xie Ling'er had been trying to find Jiang Fenghua, but she was exhausted from their search, so she had no choice but to follow their instructions and leave Da Zhou first before making any further plans.
Xie Ling'er was unwilling but had no way to kill Jiang Fenghua to avenge herself, so she could only sulk.
Xiao Shang was even less likely to rush out and confront them head-on. What angered him was that the Northern Xiao Kingdom attacked the Great Zhou before receiving his message. They completely disregarded him, especially those members of the Xiao clan who considered themselves elders.
He is now the eldest prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom. In fact, the original eldest prince, Xiao Chuanyun, was a good-for-nothing. His real name was Xiao Shang. He inexplicably came into Xiao Chuanyun's body from his own era. He was originally the revered King of Northern Shang, and the Great Zhou Kingdom would have been his for the taking.
Xiao Shang looked somewhat comical; his greatest desire was to travel back several decades and ascend the throne as emperor.
At this moment, Xiao Shang had no choice but to bow to reality. He hunched over, leaning on a cane, his face covered with a beard, pretending to be an old man. Xie Ling'er also played the role of a village girl, supporting Xiao Shang's arm.
They dispersed with the ordinary people to prepare to pass through the checkpoints one by one, and sure enough, more soldiers were added at the city gate.
Xiao Shang saw from afar that his men had successfully passed through the checkpoint, and then Yan Dinghai's men also passed through successfully. The soldiers at the city gate only asked a few questions before letting them pass.
He hadn't expected the Great Zhou's checkpoints to be so lax, letting them pass through so easily.
A notice board by the city gate displayed a portrait of Yan Dinghai. Xiao Shang even compared his own appearance with the portrait before he felt relieved, thinking that he was not the same person at all. At this moment, a soldier suddenly blocked his way and asked, "Where did you come from? Where are you going?"
Xiao Shang coughed violently, as if he were about to cough up his lungs, and said intermittently, "I came from Yuzhou to seek refuge with relatives. My family suffered a disaster, and everyone in my family died. Only my granddaughter and I are left."
Xie Ling'er held his arm and pretended to wipe her eyes a couple of times. "We're here to escape."
The soldier held up the portrait in front of them for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Let them through, next one."
Xiao Shang said, "Thank you, sir."
However, as soon as they left the city gate, someone placed a sword against Xiao Shang's neck from behind, saying, "Prince Xiao, you must have had a hard journey."
When Xiao Shang heard the voice of the person who came, he immediately thought of Xie Ling'er beside him. But by the time he was about to make a move, it was too late. Xie Shang's movements were clean and swift. The next moment, Xiao Shang's legs ached and he knelt on the ground.
Xiao Shang looked at the Great Zhou Emperor in a disheveled state, his eyes filled with anger and resentment, "Great Zhou Emperor."
"It is I," Xie Shang said again. "I have been waiting here for Prince Xiao for a long time. Men, tie Prince Xiao up."
Xiao Shang angrily said, "Why are you kidnapping me, the prince? It's not that I want to attack your Great Zhou. I'm innocent and it has nothing to do with me."
I'm just here to tour the Great Zhou Dynasty. I'm here to congratulate the Emperor. How can you not distinguish between good and bad?
"I'm only here to find the truth. I'm not Xiao Chuanyun... Release me!"
Shangguan Li personally tied up Prince Xiao, and hearing his pig-like screams, he could only laugh. Was he really the prince of Beixiao Kingdom?
At this moment, Xie Ling'er was so frightened that she trembled. She lowered her head and almost dropped the bundle in her hand. When she saw her fifth brother, who loved her the most, tears rolled down her cheeks. She began to whine, "Fifth brother, Ling'er has finally seen you. Ling'er has suffered so much."
Xie Shang glanced at her, his eyes filled with helplessness, and said in a deep voice, "Someone, take the Ninth Princess away."
Xie Ling'er paused, then said, "They kidnapped me."
Disappointment flashed in Xie Shang's eyes, but in the end he didn't expose her.
At this moment, a soldier reported, "Your Majesty, Yan Dinghai did not pass through the checkpoint; they escaped."
Xie Shang didn't take it to heart; if he didn't come, Mr. Ge would naturally go to him.
Xiao Shang cursed, "Yan Dinghai, I was going to kill you! Didn't you say it was nothing? Why did you run away first?"
In the carriage in the distance, Jiang Fenghua lifted a corner of the curtain to look at Xiao Shang. She wondered to herself: Is the person in front of me really Xiao Shang, the Prince of Bei Shang?
Or is he actually Xiao Chuanyun, the useless eldest prince of the Northern Xiao Kingdom?
She felt that Xiao Shang had a dual personality, half Xiao Shang and half Xiao Chuanyun.
