Chapter 484 Reluctant to leave
"Yes, the communication is complete. Don't worry. We'll use a blue signal flare as a signal. As soon as the person is rescued, we'll fire three blue signal flares. Once you see the signal flare go off, you can lead your brothers to kill the soldiers around the Ji residence as quickly as possible, and let the people of the Ji residence escape towards the west gate of the imperial city. Our people will be there to meet them. Then, all the major villainous forces will also take action, and the imperial city will definitely be in chaos. Once they're in disarray, our main force will arrive, and we'll wipe them all out in one fell swoop!"
Sikong Jin lowered her voice and said.
"Ajin, I'm entrusting Jing-gege to you as well. You all must come back safely to see us!"
Lan Zixi looked at Sikong Jin with a wistful gaze, then looked at Tang Jingyao with reluctance.
"Alright, with me, Sikong Jin, here, you'll all be fine! Let's go! Stop dawdling! How about I give you a minute for a goodbye kiss? Alright, we're all family here anyway, big brother, just rush up and hug Zixi, give her a big kiss, consider that a goodbye kiss, hurry up, do you think I don't need time walking around? What are you doing? What kind of looks are you two giving each other?"
As Sikong Jin spoke, she pulled down her hat to cover her eyes, then turned around. "Fine, I won't watch, okay? I've personally experienced even more explicit scenes, what's so special about that! Ouch—"
Tang Jingyao couldn't stand Sikong Jin's blatant words any longer, so he grabbed the teacup beside him and threw it at him. Luckily, Sikong Jin was quick enough that it only grazed the back of Tang Jingyao's hand. Without waiting for Tang Jingyao to say anything, she hurriedly fled out the door, not forgetting to leave a message behind—
"Hurry up! I can't stand you lovey-dovey couples!"
She and Di Beizun had faced many separations, but none of them seemed this close, and it wasn't like they were going to do *that*.
Lord Sikong cursed Tang Jingyao under his breath, rubbed his hand which was sore from being bumped by the cup, and walked outside.
After the two bid each other a reluctant farewell, the sky had completely fallen silent. Lan Zixi boarded the carriage prepared by Sikong Jin. Lan Zixi had also changed her clothes and, holding her son, followed Sikong Jin away, heading straight for the outskirts of the imperial city.
"grown ups!"
As soon as the carriage turned the corner, Changfeng, who had been lurking in the shadows, steadily approached the carriage and nimbly took over the driver's position.
"How's it going? Have you contacted everyone?"
Sikong Jin lifted the carriage curtain with one hand and spoke in a low voice.
Changfeng nodded. "Please rest assured, my lord. All the troops are ready and waiting for your command to take action immediately."
"What's the situation in the city now?"
Sikong Jin was busy meeting Lan Zixi and was unaware of the latest situation in the city.
"Because of the banquet, Xing Qiyu has increased patrols and inspections in the city. The Ji family has not deployed many people. As long as we act quickly enough, we can catch them off guard! The Lord is waiting outside the city. My lord, let's leave the city quickly!"
Changfeng replied respectfully.
Sikong Jin nodded. "Okay, let's go quickly. Once we show this token, the guards at the city gate will let us out of the city."
As Sikong Jin spoke, she handed a token to Changfeng—
She had taken it casually when she was secretly investigating the Liu residence; it was the warlord's identification token, which would make it easier to leave the city.
Emperor Beizun was worried that she wouldn't be able to leave the city, so he specially arranged for Changfeng and others to escort her secretly, just in case. If anything went wrong, he would take action immediately!
Changfeng took it and smiled immediately. "Sir, you are indeed brilliant! You even thought of this method! Who knows, you might even be able to turn the tables on the Liu family!"
Sikong Jin listened and shrugged innocently. She hadn't thought much about it when she picked it up!
Deep within the Purple Bamboo Forest outside the Imperial City of Dayong.
"Master, the lady has returned!"
As the sound of horses' hooves echoed along the path, the subordinate breathed a sigh of relief and reported to Emperor Beizun, who stood with his hands behind his back.
Di Beizun also raised his head and looked at the path ahead by the dim firelight. Sure enough, he saw a carriage coming this way, and the driver was Changfeng!
'Whoa!'
The carriage came to a steady stop less than three zhang away from Emperor Beizun, and Changfeng swiftly leaped down from it.
"Changfeng greets the Master!"
Di Beizun nodded, but didn't look at him, his gaze fixed on the carriage.
After a while, the carriage curtain was finally lifted, and Sikong Jin, dressed in a black cloak, jumped down from the carriage and then reached out to support Lan Zixi, who was holding her son in her arms.
"Come and give me a hand!"
As soon as Sikong Jin finished speaking, her two female subordinates stepped forward to greet her.
When Lan Zixi saw Di Beizun standing in front of her, a look of surprise appeared on her beautiful face, and of course, she couldn't help but feel admiration in her eyes.
Although Di Beizun was also wearing a black cloak at this moment, completely concealing his body except for a pair of unfathomable eyes, the intelligent Lan Zixi could naturally sense the kingly aura emanating from him that was different from ordinary people.
Holding her son tightly in her arms, she walked over in a few steps and bowed slightly to Emperor Beizun, "Lan Zixi greets His Majesty the Northern Emperor!"
Di Beizun nodded calmly, "Madam Tang has had a long journey, there's no need for such formalities."
As he said this, Di Beizun's gaze fell on Sikong Jin behind him.
"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty! I am deeply grateful!"
"It's alright, Dai Mei. You're in charge of settling Madam Tang in. If anything goes wrong, you'll be held accountable."
Emperor Beizun calmly gave the order.
"Yes, Master! I will take Madam Tang back to the building immediately!"
"Zixi, this is Daimei. She will be responsible for your safety, so don't worry. Go back to the building with her first. We need to get into the city immediately, or it will be too late!"
At this moment, Sikong Jin also came over.
Lan Zixi nodded, "Okay, you guys go ahead, I'm fine, just be careful!"
Sikong Jin exchanged a glance with Di Beizun beside her, then smiled and nodded, "Yes, don't worry, I will bring Tang Jingyao to you unharmed!"
……
The rapid sound of horses' hooves soon rang out, and as Lan Zixi watched the two dark figures gradually disappear into the night, her heart tightened for no reason.
"Don't worry, Madam Tang, with the Lord of the Pavilion in charge, nothing will happen!"
Seeing the uneasy look on Lan Zixi's face, Changfeng smiled.
