Hide And Cultivate In The East Palace, Only To Find The Prince Is A Girl

Chapter 859 Killing Great Shang’s King Realm Spirit Master

The two figures fled in a sorry state, like stray dogs. They fell to the ground, but they couldn’t care less about the pain. They got up again and fled forward. Their clothes were torn and they were in a terrible state. Blood dyed their bodies red. Although some of the injuries weren’t fatal, blood flowed out. The continuous injuries made their bodies weaker and weaker.

It was none other than Qian An and Old Lu.

Compared to before, he was like two different people. It was not too much to say that he was a beggar.

They didn’t even dare to turn their heads, as if there was a great terror chasing them from behind. They didn’t dare to stay any longer. A funny scene appeared. Previously, at the Pan Clan’s place, they had been scheming and scheming against each other. Now, they were supporting each other and never leaving each other!

Qian An did not give up on him because he had not obtained the formula for the Flame Thunder Bead. He had to bring it to the stronghold of the Shang Dynasty in order to escape from Great Xia alive. He would then be able to enjoy wealth and glory in Great Shang and marry a young lady from a prestigious family.

Although Old Lu had the formula for the Flame Thunder Pearl, he was wanted by the entire city. They did not know where the Shang Dynasty’s stronghold was. They could only rely on him to have a chance of survival and even a life of a high-class scholar.

Otherwise, with their personalities, they would have thrown each other away long ago.

His luck seemed to have run out. From the moment he left Madam Pan’s place, it was nightfall. The rain was getting heavier and heavier. The soldiers of the Fifth Division of City Defense patrolled every corner of the capital. Even if they took a small path, the carriage was so big that it could not be hidden.

It wasn’t that they hadn’t thought about walking. The storm was too heavy, and the two of them weren’t martial artists. They didn’t have any cultivation. Even if they wore straw raincoats, they wouldn’t be able to last long in such a harsh environment. They were also old. One had been an official for a long time, and the other often indulged. Their physical conditions were very bad. If they dared to do this, they would probably get into an accident before they arrived.

Knowing that the carriage was eye-catching and that it was a big target, he could only order Qian Mo to speed up and get there as soon as possible.

If it wasn’t raining, on a normal night, even if he was stopped by the soldiers of the Fifth Division of City Defense, he would still be able to get away with it. Moreover, Qian An was the chief clerk of the logistics department of the Ministry of Works ‘Spirit Research Division. He was a Rank Four official, but to the soldiers below him, he was a high and mighty figure.

Too many things had happened in the capital recently. After Stone Village was destroyed, Jiu Xuanji had called all the higher-ups of the True Dragon Palace over and scolded them. He had even given them a death order to find the culprit at all costs. Emperor Xia had only given them three days. The date was getting closer and closer, and he was more anxious than anyone else. Every day, he suppressed his anger, and the effect was very strong!

Everyone knew that the Hall Master was angry, so they didn’t dare to raise their eyebrows. They vented their anger on the demons and ghosts. In addition, they also sent a message to the Fifth Division of City Defense to order the patrolling soldiers to arrest any suspicious person.

The storm, the night, and the horse carriage did not affect them individually, but when they were put together, they were still at this critical juncture and were on a small path.

After a group of patrolling soldiers from the Fifth Division of City Defense stopped them, they interrogated them strictly. Helpless, Qian An could only step forward and show his waist token. Seeing that it was an adult, he hesitated whether to let them go.

The bad thing was that Qian An was too anxious. He sternly reprimanded the other party and ordered them to move aside. With this provocation, the other party was also furious. Thinking of the orders from above, no matter who it was, they would investigate thoroughly and order people to search with a cold face.

Qian An naturally didn’t agree. Once they came over, Old Lu would be exposed. Helpless, he could only let Qian Mo kill him.

After killing them and getting rid of their bodies, they were about to continue on their way when they were met by a passing disciple of the Ethereal Sky Sect. The senior and junior brothers thought about it and realized that they were clearly officials, yet they even killed their own people. Could there be some secret hidden behind them killing a patrol so cleanly?

After some discussion, they decided to interrogate them. Even if they didn’t find anything, they would hand them over to the government. With Qian An’s crime of killing the officers and soldiers, it was a great merit and he would be rewarded.

If there was something hidden, then he would make a huge profit.

It was a dark and windy night, and the rainstorm was the best cover. Thunder rolled in the night sky, and no one heard it even if they shouted until their throats were broken.

As a Successive Disciple of the Ethereal Sky Sect, he had a profound cultivation and cultivated high-tier cultivation techniques and martial techniques. His strength was extraordinary and he had a tacit understanding. He attacked and ambushed Qian Mo, severely injuring him. He endured his injuries and delayed them so that Qian An and Old Lu could leave first. That was how this scene happened.

“It’s him!” Zhang Ronghua recognized him.

His thoughts turned quickly. Why were they here and being chased?

His gaze landed on Old Lu, and he raised his eyebrows. Wasn’t this person the butler of Sun Jin’s residence? Why was she here and with him?

With Qian An’s status, he was Cui Jiancheng’s trusted aide and one of the most popular people in the Ministry of Works before he took up his post in the Spirit Research Department. It was easy for him to befriend Sun Jin, or Old Lu.

If there had been a deal between them, it would make sense for Old Lu to steal the formula of the Flame Thunder Bead. Also, in the past few days, the entire capital had been looking for him. It was as if he had disappeared from the face of the earth. He should be hiding somewhere. Now, it seemed that he was probably hidden by Qian An. What was his purpose?

He thought of Zhao Chengjie, a high-level spy of the Shang Dynasty, a mole hidden in the Great Xia officialdom. He was a third-grade official with high status and authority. He had the power to supervise and impeach. He had a motive.

He deduced that the two of them were most likely heading to the Shang Dynasty’s stronghold, handing over the item to them, and then escaping with the help of these people.

After figuring out the reason, Zhang Ronghua didn’t rush to act. He hid in the dark and followed them, taking this opportunity to capture all the intelligence forces of the Shang Dynasty.

As for the two Ethereal Sky Sect disciples behind him, they were just small fries and he did not take them to heart.
