Chapter 317 The Prince Consort ran away!
The east gate of the Beidi Kingdom’s palace.
Two soldiers wearing sharp armor rode two high-level mounts and rushed towards the east gate.
"Stop! What are you doing?" The soldier at the East Gate stretched out his spear to stop them.
"The cabinet has issued an order to send it to the front line. It is a matter of urgency. Who of you dares to stop it?"
The man on the higher point on the left took out a token. Immediately, the soldiers at the East Gate dared not stop them. They quickly opened the gate and let the two knights pass.
After going out of the east gate, the two knights galloped away without stopping, left the imperial capital, and quickly went away along the official road.
"Although the goal was achieved successfully, it was exposed in advance, which was unexpected."
Feng Qingcheng said regretfully.
These two knights were Feng Qingcheng and Cang Xuanye who escaped from the palace. They didn't dare to stay for a moment because they didn't have much time to escape.
"Do your best, you've done enough. With me here, you'll be fine." Cang Xuanye said softly. He had already sworn in his heart that he would protect Qingcheng well.
At this time, a group of cavalry came galloping in front of the official road, led by a young man, who was extraordinary and heroic, with a strong aura emanating from him. He was not an ordinary cultivator and was very powerful.
As they got closer, Feng Qingcheng and Cang Xuanye's pupils shrank slightly and they found that he was actually an acquaintance.
Tuoba Qian!
The two looked at each other, they didn't expect to meet here. Fortunately, they changed their appearance, otherwise it would be troublesome. They lowered their heads, trying to avoid this group of people.
Tuoba Qi was about to reach the imperial capital, and he was in a good mood. At this time, two knights came from the opposite side, which made him curious. As he approached, he felt that the two people seemed familiar, but there seemed to be no trace of them in his memory, which made him confused.
Just as they were about to cross paths, Tuoba Qi suddenly shouted, "Stop, both of you."
Feng Qingcheng and Cang Xuanye stopped, the energy in their bodies surging secretly. Once exposed, they would launch a surprise attack and kill the enemy, followed by a great escape.
"What do you do?" Tuoba Qi asked.
Cang Xuanye turned around and said with a cupped hand, "Your Excellency, we are the messengers of the Cabinet, heading to the front line."
"Oh? What order?" Cang Xuan asked with a frown. After all, he had just returned from the front line, and there might be something he didn't know.
"This..." Cang Xuanye hesitated and pretended to be embarrassed.
Cang Xuan waved his hand, knowing that this matter was probably very important and needed to be kept secret. In addition, he was in a good mood, so he did not make things difficult and signaled them to leave.
After Cang Xuanye and Feng Qingcheng bowed, they quickly walked away and disappeared on the road.
"It's strange, why does it feel so familiar?" Cang Xuan frowned. He always felt that he had missed something, but he had no clue.
Since he couldn't figure it out, he didn't care. He returned to the imperial capital, and without taking a rest, he walked into the palace and went to the banquet to bless his sister Tuoba Yue'er, and also wanted to see who was so lucky to marry the most beautiful woman in the Northern Di Kingdom.
The palace was decorated with lights and full of festive atmosphere.
Tuoba Qi was a celebrity in the palace, so naturally many guards, eunuchs and palace maids knew him and they all came to pay homage to him when they saw him.
As Tuoba Qi walked along, he suddenly noticed a young eunuch walking around in circles anxiously, muttering something in a mysterious voice.
He knew that this little eunuch was his father's eunuch godson and was very smart.
After approaching, Tuoba Qi heard a few words and immediately paid attention.
He frowned and said, "What are you talking about?"
The young eunuch was startled when he saw that the person coming was actually the prince, and he quickly knelt on the ground.
"Your Highness, this prince consort..."
The young eunuch hesitated to speak and actually started crying.
"What's wrong with the prince consort? Tell me quickly!" Tuoba Heng shouted. The behavior of this little eunuch made him feel something was wrong.
"The prince consort... he's missing!" the young eunuch cried.
"Gone? How could he be gone? What nonsense are you talking about." Tuoba Chen was confused by this sentence and felt it was ridiculous. How could the prince consort be gone when he was engaged to his own sister? If he was really gone, the whole palace would have been in chaos.
Besides, few people would dare to cancel the engagement with the princess of Beidi Kingdom, unless they want to die.
"If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will tear your mouth apart." Tuoba Qi shouted coldly. He really didn't like hearing unlucky words on such a festive day.
The young eunuch was frightened and nodded hastily, not daring to say more. He then thought to himself that perhaps the Prince Consort had gone for a walk, or perhaps he had returned to his room to rest.
Tuoba Qi arrived at the engagement banquet hall, which was now full of people, but the laughter and joy that should have been there were gone, and all eyes were on the old man in the hall.
The old man was wearing golden armor. Although he had white hair and beard, he was full of energy, radiant with glory, and had an extraordinary aura.
Everyone present knew that this was Feng Wu, the great marshal of Yixiantian!
At this time, Feng Wu reported what happened at the border to the king of Beidi.
"So, my dear, have you caught these two men?" The King of Beidi was stunned when he heard this. He didn't expect such a big thing to happen in Yixiantian.
"Reporting to the Lord, no." Feng Wu replied, and then changed the subject: "But I have found their traces and clues."
A gleam of light flashed in Feng Wu's eyes, filled with a strange look.
"Oh? Since we have found him, why are you here instead of going to capture him?" The King of Beidi was still a little unhappy. After all, this was an engagement party, and his daughter was getting married to a disciple of a hidden family. Feng Wu interrupted the party with bad news, which really made him uncomfortable. If he was not the Grand Marshal of the Nation, he would have been scolded out by him.
"Lord, I am here to arrest someone." Feng Wu glanced across the entire audience, an indescribable domineering aura that shocked everyone.
Most people are used to this, as Feng Wu is famous for his stubborn temper.
The King of Beidi State naturally knew this, and he respected Feng Wu very much, after all, he was the Grand Marshal of the State. But today he couldn't stand it anymore, and seeing his own Yue'er looking like she was about to cry, he couldn't help but shout angrily: "Feng Wu, do you know what's going on here? Are you here to arrest someone?"
"Please calm down, my lord. I am not talking nonsense." Feng Wu then pointed to others and said, "Where is the Prince Consort? Please ask him to come out and see me. The reason why I am here today is for him."
These words completely stunned everyone. According to the Grand Marshal, he seemed to be here to cause trouble for the Prince Consort.
Many princes and noble young masters also became excited and wanted to see how this prince consort had provoked Feng Wu.
At this time, everyone glanced around the room and found that the prince consort seemed to be missing. This made them feel uneasy and they felt that things were not that simple.
Tuoba Qi just happened to understand what happened at this time. Thinking of the eunuch's expression and words just now, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "The prince consort is really missing."
