The National Master followed the path created by Yun Kuoâs Profound Power and quickly found the Emperor and Li Yanyanâs carriage on the Official Road outside the city.
At this moment, the drivers of these two carriages were utterly bewildered, their faces filled with terror, as if they had lost their souls.
"Set out, speed up and return to the capital!"
The National Master descended from the sky, landing directly in front of the Emperorâs carriage.
"Na... National Master!"
It wasnât until the National Master spoke that the drivers snapped back to reality.
"Quickly drive, try to keep it steady."
The National Master instructed.
"Yes!"
The two drivers promptly responded with "Yes," and quickly drove away from the scene.
In Yunhang City, when Xiaosuisui and Ji Youzhi figured everything out and came out from the prison, there was almost no one left in the County Yamen.
The Imperial Guard had already escorted the Emperor away, while outside the County Yamen, riots broke out among the people.
"What happened here?"
Ji Youzhi stepped forward, grabbing a citizenâs shoulder and loudly questioned.
The citizen pushed him away without any regard, a layer of black mist covering their eyes!
Upon seeing the black mist in the citizenâs eyes, Ji Youzhi was utterly shocked and quickly grabbed another person, but it was the same; their eyes were also filled with black mist.
"Why are there only assimilated people?
Werenât all the assimilated people in the city already captured?"
Xiaosuisui also noticed everything and asked in confusion.
Ji Youzhi did not answer upon hearing this, instead looking at the direction these citizens were running towards, his expression changed dramatically.
"No, theyâre heading towards the city gate."
"The city gate! Could it be that MoâEr has been waiting for this opportunity?"
Suddenly, Xiaosuisui recalled the words Yun Kuo had analyzed with her on the road.
"What opportunity?"
Ji Youzhi quickly asked.
"MoâEr has been besieging from outside with soldiers from Nanjiang without attacking, Uncle Yun Kuo said he was waiting for the right timing."
Hearing Xiaosuisuiâs words, Ji Youzhi instantly understood.
"They first besieged without attacking, later His Majesty got injured, and now the assimilated ones are cooperating with them from inside!
Terrible!
Yunhang County Town has fallen!"
Ji Youzhi was no fool; after hearing Xiaosuisuiâs words, he quickly realized everything.
"What should we do now?"
Xiaosuisui looked at Ji Youzhi, touching her small head to ask.
"First, letâs go to the city gate and assess the situation!"
After Ji Youzhi finished speaking, he saw Xiaosuisui nod, and then with a "whoosh," she flew away.
Ji Youzhi was quite helpless; the little girlâs lightness skill was better than his, and he could only hurry to catch up.
Ji Youzhi and Xiaosuisui arrived one after the other at the South City gate, landing on the highest building.
"Suisui!"
Ji Youzhi stopped beside Xiaosuisui, relieved to see her safe and sound.
"Seventh Uncle, the city gate has already been opened, what should we do now?"
Ji Youzhi was extremely flustered; at this moment, what was he supposed to do?
What else could he do?
"First, find Dugu Xiao and see how your foster father, His Majesty, is doing now."
Ji Youzhi had already guessed most of MoâErâs plan, taking advantage of the Emperorâs grave injury, or perhaps being stabbed to death by Lu Yunsheng, to attack the Great Han, march north, and directly enter the Central Plains!
Having figured out the reasoning, Ji Youzhiâs foremost concern was the Emperorâs safety!
He began to search everywhere for Dugu Xiao and the Emperorâs silhouette.
"I heard Uncle Duguâs voice!"
Xiaosuisui closed her eyes in concentration, her auricle moving slightly, and quickly located Dugu Xiaoâs position.
"Where is it?"
