Chapter 223 Fire in the middle of the night
I don’t know if Ye Shurui’s strategy played a role or if it was the Tantu Avenue ahead, but since Pan Tuozi took them to change the route, the few people have never encountered any obstacles and have successfully returned to Yilan Town, a border town in Minglan Country.
The few people still stayed in the only inn in Yilan Town. Ye Shurui and Nalan Wan were both extremely beautiful. The inn owner obviously remembered them. They were all full of enthusiasm when they saw them return safely. Although it was a bit strange that these two teams became one team, they didn't ask much.
After settling down, Qinghu and Qingjun spontaneously went to inquire about the news, but the result was disappointing.
The town of Yilan is remote and closed, and the people living here are simple and peaceful, know nothing about the outside world, let alone want to inquire about the news about the capital. Their lives remain unchanged, and everyone is content with the current state of being not rich but still stable. The inquiry between the Qinghu and the Qingjun is destined to be futile.
"It's okay, wait for news about Jifeng and Pearl." Ye Shurui had no hope for Yilan Town.
After encountering the second assassination in the desert, they not only changed the route of return, but also released both Haidongqing and contacted the people from the Jinwang Mansion of Beijing. Calculate the day, Jifeng and Pearl should have come back two days ago, but there has not been any news yet.
"One Haidongqing only appeared in the 100,000 condors. Jifeng and Pearl have not returned yet. Nothing will happen, right?" Nalan Wan was worried. This was a gift from Ye Shurui to her, for fear that something would happen.
Ye Shurui hugged her in his arms and said softly: "Don't worry, they are smart. After all, the journey is long and it is normal to delay some delays."
He said this, and he felt a little worried. Earlier, when he was traveling in the Snow Country, Hai Dongqing, who conveyed the message, never missed the time. It seemed that the situation was even worse than he thought.
In the evening, after several days of trekking, they all took a break early after dinner.
When Nalan Wan was snuggling in Ye Shurui's arms and sleeping soundly, she was awakened by the vague noise outside.
"It's gone, it's gone..." There was a gong and drum, and people were in panic.
Ye Shurui was awakened at the first time, and his starry eyes were suddenly as sharp and fierce as an eagle and falcon, and then he was restrained.
"What's wrong?" Nalan Wan opened her blurred eyes and saw the light of the blazing flames shining into the room. Her consciousness instantly returned, "Is this a fire?"
"Well, let's go." Ye Shurui had already dressed neatly and found Nalan Wan's clothes to put on for her. There was no panic at all, and it was orderly.
The door was locked from outside, and so was the window.
Ye Shurui and Nalan Wan exchanged a look and were about to break out of the window, but were stopped by Nalan Wan.
She stretched out a finger cunningly and pointed to the roof. Ye Shurui knew it and quietly stepped up the beam of the room, slowly uncovered the tiles one by one, and then left quietly with Nalanwan.
"Arui, find two people to throw them in." In the hidden place, Nalan Wan and Ye Shurui bit their ears.
Ye Shurui understood and kissed her bright cheek, "Okay, wait for me here." After that, he flew away.
There was no such coincidence. They had just walked out of the desert and had a fire on the first night they stayed in the inn! With Ye Shurui's skills, it was not easy to catch two little thieves who set fire?
Not long after, Rong Zipeng, Gu Yang and others came to the mark they left behind. Seeing that Nalan Wan was the only one, they couldn't help but ask, "Why are you the only one?"
Nalan Wan smiled and said her and Ye Shurui's plan. You looked at me and remained silent for a while.
"Wait, I'll go and do it as I want to do it." Rong Zipeng said as he was about to leave.
Nalan Wan pulled him and said speechlessly: "Did you destroy the doors and windows when you came out?"
Rong Zipeng stopped leaving and found that the fire was on fire. His first reaction was naturally to break out. Who would think that the doors and windows were preserved intact like their perverted couple!
"Besides, there are probably only one or two or two people who set fire. Where do you go to find so many dead guys who are so dead and put them in your room?" Nalan Wan saw him stop, and then spared no effort to finish the fight.
Rong Zipeng choked and couldn't find a language to fight back because what Nalan Wan said was the truth.
Qinghu and Qingjun smiled aside, and Gu Yang kindly patted his shoulder as comfort.
In just a moment, Ye Shurui came back silently and made a perfect position for Nalan Wan.
"I think there is something strange about this. We should not appear in front of everyone before receiving the news from Jifeng and Pearl." Ye Shurui's face was heavy.
It was too obvious to be hostile. They left Minglan Kingdom's capital for too long and could not know what was going on.
"It's not a solution to do this. If the wind and pearls... are too passive." Nalan Wan did not say the cruel possibility, but several people understood what she meant, and there was another haze in her heart.
"Zi Peng, where is the closest branch of the Ange Pavilion here?" Ye Shurui suddenly asked.
Since they can't wait, they need to understand the situation urgently, so they can only go to their nearest forces.
Nalan Wan did not ask about the situation of Huoyang Tower. Before Huokui was stolen, Huoyang Tower was almost dormant. Later, after Huokui was stolen, Gu Yang was asked to gather some old subordinates, and his strength was far from comparable to the dark pavilions that had been active everywhere.
"The border here is not connected to other countries, so the Ancient Pavilion has not established a branch again. The nearest location should be Yuncheng two hundred miles away." Rong Zipeng is the direct commander of Ancient Pavilion, so he naturally remembers every contact point in his heart.
Ye Shurui made a quick decision, "Just go to Yuncheng."
Now, they are in the open and the enemy is in the dark. If they don’t figure out the situation first and go to the government rashly, they might just fall into the trap.
"It must be that something happened in the middle of Beijing, otherwise why would this happen? I don't know how grandpa is doing now." Nalan Wan understood the seriousness of the incident, but now it was dark under the light, so she could only suppress her impatient heart.
"Don't worry, Wanwan, when I left, I also left someone to take care of the general's mansion. Grandpa Nalan was also an iron-blooded soldier when he was young, so there would be no trouble." Ye Shurui comforted.
Ye Shurui was worried that it was not Mr. Nalan, but what he was worried about was Prince Ming Zhao. Since the other party dared to intercept him again and again, it proved that he did not want him to return to the capital. Then... it means that the situation in the capital is beneficial to the other party, and it will cause uncertainty or bad effects on the other party because of his return.
