Chapter 748: Finally Out of the City

pen your eyes!"During their conversation, the emperor ordered someone to bring a chicken, a duck, and a parrot. In front of the three imperial physicians, he had blood drawn from these animals and the...An Xuetang wasn't just resolute in her eyes, but also in her tone. "Yes, I'm going to find A Jing, and that's now, not a moment longer."

For some reason, whenever she thought of Mo Yunjing, a strange feeling of unease would wash over her.

She couldn't quite describe what kind of discomfort she was feeling.

So she was thinking, could this be what they call "mind-reading," that because something had happened to Ajing, she felt so uncomfortable.

It was precisely because of this that An Xuetang was so determined to personally go out of the city to find him.

Feng Ming’s deep eyes stared at her for a moment. He probably knew An Xue Tang's temperament better than anyone else, so he was very clear that no one could stop An Xue Tang from making this decision.

Even if he could keep her imprisoned in the Beijiang Wangfu right now, she would still find a way out of the city and seek out Mo Yunjing once she woke up.

So, the final result was like this, he might as well have brought her with him from the beginning.

With that in mind, Feng Ming swallowed all his rejections.

Yun Si was already prepared at this point, An Xue Tang ran back into the house to grab what she needed, and the group hurried away.

Han Yun wasn't sure what kind of skills An Xuetang possessed, nor did he know she was such a skilled rider. So when An Xuetang mounted her horse and charged forward on her own, he froze, his hand still clutching the reins.

Feng Ming and the others had no time to pay him any mind. They were already following An Xue Tang, a group of people galloping towards the city gate on horseback.

When Han Yun reacted, he withdrew his surprised gaze and immediately mounted his horse, following after her.

Upon reaching the city gates, as expected, a group of soldiers guarding the city blocked their path.

When Yun Si revealed his identity, the soldiers quickly went to inform their leader. After all, Yun Si and his group didn't have a royal decree to open the city gates, and they didn't dare to do so without authorization.

In a short while, the commander of the garrison troops rushed over. He didn't recognize An Xuetang, so he first bowed to Yun Si and said:

"Night has fallen, and I don't know what time it is. Cloud Four Generals brought this group of people here, what business do they have"

Yun looked impassively around, using his gaze to signal the army leader beside him towards An Xuetang. "General Chen, this is the Princess Consort of Beijang."

"!"

Chen Pinqing was taken aback at first, but quickly recovered. He hurriedly bowed deeply to An Xuetang and said, “I have met the Princess of Bei Jiang. I am blind and failed to recognize you, Your Highness. Please forgive me!”

"Get up."

Time was of the essence, and An Xuetang didn't want to waste any words with him. At this moment, her icy eyes stared at him, and she said directly, "This noble consort has important business outside the city, you better have someone open the city gate immediately."

Chen Pinqing, upon hearing An Xuetang's request, instantly wore a troubled expression. "Your Highness, it is not that I am unwilling to help, but... opening the city gates is a major matter. If you do not have the Emperor's imperial edict in hand, I dare not rashly open the gates tonight."

"Otherwise, if the Emperor blames us, I wouldn't mind dying. But if the Emperor gets angry, he will surely punish my entire clan. Everyone in my household, from top to bottom, will certainly die."

An Xuetang naturally knew what he was worried about. At this moment, she narrowed her eyes slightly:

"No matter what happens with the emperor, I take responsibility. I promise it won't affect you. Now can you open the city gate"

"...."

To be honest, Chen Pinqing didn't dare to believe such an oral promise. However, he also couldn't afford to offend the Princess of Beijang.

If in the past, King Beijang was still out of favor, then he had offended and it was fine. But this time after King Beijang returned to Beijing, the Emperor's attitude towards him changed a lot. Now not only him, but all the big and small officials in the capital dare not easily offend King Beijang.

Among the people, there was a rumor that the King of Beijang doted on his Queen very much. As long as anyone slightly displeased the Queen of Beijang, the King would surely punish them.

So in this situation, he dared not offend the North Frontier Princess easily.

An Xuetang saw his predicament, she glanced thoughtfully at Feng Ming beside her. After a light cough, she reached for her waist, taking out the talisman of immunity from death and quickly throwing it into Feng Ming's hand.

Feng Ming raised an eyebrow and nodded slightly. An Xue Tang was asking him to take action, with one move to subdue Chen Pin Qing.

Feng Ming wasted no time. After receiving the token thrown by An Xue Tang, he used his light kung fu to instantly move behind Chen Pin Qing, grabbing his neck with one hand and slipping a death warrant into his other hand, hidden from the crowd's view.

After Chen Pinqing was controlled by Fengming, there was a brief moment of tension. But after thinking about it for a moment, he seemed to have seen through An Xuetang's intentions, especially after feeling Fengming put something very important into his hand.

His deep eyes lifted to look at An Xuetang. Looking into her seemingly smiling yet not smiling gaze, Chen Pinqing immediately understood that in this situation, in order to avoid falling into an even more embarrassing situation, he seemed to have no choice but to acquiesce to the arrangement of the Princess Consort of Beijang.

Let himself be caught by the Northern Xinjiang Princess, and be coerced into opening the city gate. If the emperor really blamed him later, he could say that it was the Northern Xinjiang Princess who had kidnapped him and he had no choice.

Although he didn't know what the man had slipped into his hand, he thought it must be something that could save his life.

Thinking this, Chen Pinqing cast a meaningful glance at An Xue Tang, then began to feign fear, “Your Highness… Your Highness, please don’t do anything rash.”

Then he roared at the soldiers by the door, "Open up! Open this door!"

Those few soldiers looked at each other in dismay, but they still obediently opened the city gate.

As soon as the gate opened, An Xuetang took the lead, riding her horse to the front of the procession and out of the city.

The others followed closely behind.

Feng Ming said expressionlessly to Chen Pinqing's ear, "Thank you."

After saying that, he leaped onto his horse and galloped away.

While Chen Pinqing calmly lowered his gaze, he looked at the thing in his hand. He saw a death-exempt talisman and was stunned. Apparently, he hadn't expected the Northern Border Princess to have such a good thing to give him.

At that moment, those soldiers hurried to his side and asked if he was alright. Chen Pinqing came to his senses and secretly tucked the pardon away in his sleeve.

"General, what shall we do now If we open the city gates at this hour, the Emperor will surely blame us. What should we do"

These soldiers were very afraid of the emperor, after all, there had been a time when they had been caught by the emperor for secretly opening the city gate for a prince in the court. On that night, all the duty personnel were executed.

Now that they have opened the city gates for the Northern Border Princess, will the Emperor order them all to be executed

Hearing the soldiers' worried words and seeing their anxious expressions, Chen Pinqing frowned and remained silent for a moment:

“Believe in the King of Beijang, today's incident is due to the Queen of Beijang. If the Emperor truly wants to blame us, with the King of Beijang's character, he will surely speak up for us.”

As Chen Pinqing finished speaking, another group of people charged over. It was Mo Yunze, followed by a group of soldiers.ther to grip Liu Lan's neck, saying coldly, "Carry out the plan. Hurry up and get someone to make the medicine for me."Liu Lan's whole body trembled violently, "It... it... let go of me first... I..."...
