C241 The One Who Escaped

"This old official does not know what the lord's intention is?" The High Duke of Ling saw the palace maid with a head full of blood and was shocked. He was only busy guarding against people entering but forgot about the people in the residence.

"The High Duke of Ling found your young master, you will know once you ask." Lord Mayor clasped his hands and bowed. It was clearly a respectful action but it made people feel very provoked. "Your young master has already escaped from your residence. If this official were to catch your young master... I hope the Duke of Ling can forgive me for hurting your young master."

After saying that, Lord Mayor led his men out of Duke Ling's Mansion. Commander of Praetorian Guard looked at the Duke of Ling and hesitated. This was not the place to speak. He could only give a simple bow. Before he left, he passed by the High Duke of Ling and whispered, "Sir, you should go and take a look at Princess Yun."

Mu Po did not follow them to search, nor did he enter the Duke Ling's Mansion. He just waited at the door. When he saw Yu Longyun angrily come out, he only bowed and did not ask anything. He watched Yu Longyun leave in the carriage.

After that, Lord Mayor went out and saw that before Mu Po could say anything, Commander of Praetorian Guard followed him out. "Master, it's better to go and catch him first."

Lord Mayor looked at the commander. "This matter needs to be reported to the Prime Minister."

"Of course." Praetorian Guard then remembered that Mu Po was still there. He had done enough, but he did not show any respect.

"Princess?!" The Duke of Ling came out of the mansion, but he only saw the carriage that was far away. His heart became more and more uneasy. He did not care about the people at the door and asked the butler to prepare the carriage.

"Where is the High Duke of Ling going?" Mu Po looked at the High Duke of Ling who was about to board the carriage. He walked down the stairs and pulled the reins.

"Does Lord Mu care a little more?" The High Duke raised his eyebrows, and the general's hostility was released.

"This official is in charge of matters related to the post house." Mu Po smiled at him, "Since the Duke of Ling wants to enter the palace to meet the Sage, then go. But be careful on the way. " Mu Po loosened his grip on the reins.

The Duke of Ling looked at him for a while, but still got into the carriage and let the driver go.

"Master, Ling Yunfeng is the mastermind behind this, but he has already escaped Duke Ling's Mansion." Lord Mayor told Mu Po everything he found out.

Commander of Praetorian Guard did not say anything. He only snorted a few times. These few hums were enough to express his dissatisfaction.

"He shouldn't be far away." Mu Po's voice was dull. "We must catch him tonight."

"Yes!" Lord Mayor received the order and left with his brothers in high spirits.

Commander of Praetorian Guard stood there for a long time without moving.

"Do you want me to invite the commander?" Mu Po brought his fists together and bowed with a stern expression, as if he was mocking Mu Po.

"The Prime Minister might have forgotten. The Emperor only allows this lowly official to assist the Lord in searching the Duke Ling's Mansion." How could Commander of Praetorian Guard not hear Mu Po's reproach and bowed to him. " But if sire wants this lowly official to arrest, this lowly official is obligated to do so. "

"Thank you, Commander." Mu Po stood up straight and did not make things difficult for him, "I hope you can catch the criminal who escaped."

"Of course." Commander of Praetorian Guard agreed verbally. He did not intend to waste any effort. He did not believe that Ling Yunfeng would dare to do such a thing.

Furthermore, both of them were working in the palace. He was originally a general of Duke Ling's Mansion and was on good terms with Ling Yunfeng. If he met him, perhaps he would find a good place to hide.

At this moment, Ling Yunfeng only felt a swelling pain in his head. It was as if something was pressing down on his brain, and his skull was about to explode.

His mind was filled with the crazy look he had just now. Thinking about it, he was afraid, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

He remembered that he had slapped Yu Longyun and smashed the wooden table and chairs in the room. Yu Longyun knew martial arts, but he was not bad either. It was more than enough to subdue Yu Longyun.

He also remembered that he had tied Yu Longyun up with his own hands. The oppressive feeling between the ropes was still lingering on his fingertips.

Ling Yunfeng did not know what was wrong with him. It was just that he was inexplicably irritated. Seeing things and people that made him uneasy, he wanted to destroy them.

If Lord Mayor had come a little slower, he was afraid that he would have cut off Yu Longyun's trachea. Thinking about it, he felt a lingering fear.

He had escaped, so he didn't dare to go back.

Ling Yunfeng escaped from the Duke Ling's Mansion, but he staggered and fell to the ground after a few steps. He couldn't see clearly what was in front of him, only darkness.

"He's here?"

He suddenly heard a sound and felt a chill down his spine. He walked a few steps towards the source of the sound and stopped when he kicked something. He lost his balance and fell to the ground.

Bai Ming walked to his face and his toes were about to touch his nose. "Hehe, I thought you were dead."

"Who are you?" Ling Yunfeng shook his head. He stood up and looked down. There were two people lying on the ground. There was a faint smell of blood in the air. It was unknown whether they were dead or alive.

"The person who saved you." Bai Ming walked around him a few steps and said, "I just don't know if you will accept it."

"Why did you save me? I didn't do anything wrong." Ling Yunfeng ignored him. He walked along the wall, his head aching.

"Is that so?" Bai Ming turned around and looked at him. It was a little distance away from Duke Ling's Mansion. It was another small alley. Lord Mayor's men still needed some time to find this place.

He did not kill Yuan Zhen and Miao Yingyu, but the two of them were not as angry as before. He brought them here and threw them on the ground, ignoring them.

"You hurt the princess of Dayong. Furthermore, she is your wife, the person you love the most." Bai Ming slowly walked to his side, "Are you not afraid?"

"I didn't do it, not me!" Ling Yunfeng suddenly went crazy. He grabbed his messy hair and squatted down. " Longyun knew I wasn't like this. Longyun knew I wouldn't do such a thing. Longyun will forgive me, Longyun..."

" There are really many naive people in this world. " Bai Ming raised his head and snorted," What about you hurting her most beloved fifth brother, King Chu? "

"I didn't do it! It wasn't me!" Ling Yunfeng looked at Bai Ming. His white eyes were bloodshot, and sweat trickled down his forehead.

"Whether it's true or not is not up to you to decide." Bai Ming found it funny. Looking at him like this, it was really a spiritual enjoyment.

"You are talking nonsense!" Ling Yunfeng stood up again. "I am going to find Longyun and tell her clearly. I love her so much, how could I hurt her..."

"How many times do I have to remind you? You hurt yourself. I need something from you to solve these problems"

" What is it!? "

"[Your... heart]" Bai Ming smiled devilishly, as if he was ready to dig out his heart at any time. "As long as you show her your heart, she will know your love for her. How about it?"

Ling Yunfeng was stunned and did not speak for a long time.

"Qing... will be unhappy..."

"Cough cough."

The voice was soft and intermittent. Bai Ming turned around and saw Miao Yingyu coughing. There was a playful look in his eyes.

Her vitality was really tenacious.
