Zhu Menghuang left the crowd. Wearing a mask, she swayed her body and lightly lifted her breath, silently leaping onto the roof of a building beside the street.
With light steps, she was like a nimble cat, moving forward in the night wind. Her speed was extremely fast, but she did not bring up a trace of wind.
Soon, she arrived at the city wall of Chang 'an.
The city walls were extremely high. It was impossible for ordinary people to climb up without borrowing tools.
Zhu Menghuang just stood there and looked up at the city wall. Then, she reached out her hand and patted the wall. Then, she suddenly jumped and flew straight to the center of the city wall. She stepped lightly on the wall with her little feet in embroidered shoes and rose again. In the blink of an eye, she landed on the city wall.
Zhu Menghuang easily jumped onto the city wall that was more than three feet tall.
She looked left and right. Before the patrolling soldiers arrived, she quickly jumped down and arrived outside Chang 'an City. She then sped toward the dense forest in the eastern suburbs of Chang' an City.
On the other side, Bai Musheng and his men were searching for Zhu Menghuang.
Zhan Zhao led the Golden Guards to search everywhere. Although Bai Musheng looked anxious, he was unusually calm inside.
He looked to the east and could vaguely sense that Zhu Menghuang had gone in that direction. In fact, that silly girl should have already jumped over the city wall.
Zhan Zhao and the others naturally did not expect the Empress Zhu Menghuang to be able to climb over the city wall, so they only searched around the Qu River Pool.
After some thought, Bai Musheng glanced in a certain direction and called out,""Xiong Fei."
Zhan Zhao immediately ran over.
"Get the horses ready. We're leaving the city."
"Ah…? Master, leave, leave the city?"
Zhan Zhao suspected that he had heard wrongly.
Although there was no curfew in Chang 'an, the city gate was naturally closed at night. No one could enter or leave Chang' an. What was the point of leaving the city at this time?
"What are you waiting for? Hurry up and go!"
"Here!"
Zhan Zhao was puzzled, but he didn't ask any further. He quickly ordered the horses to be prepared. The group of people immediately rode to the city gate. Zhan Zhao showed his waist token, and the city gate immediately opened.
The rumbling horse team left Chang 'an City.
After leaving Chang 'an, only the Golden Guards were around. Zhan Zhao didn't hide anything and rode to Bai Musheng's side."Your Majesty, could it be that the Empress has left the city?”
"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask."
Bai Musheng shot him a glance. Zhan Zhao shrunk his neck and swallowed his saliva, instantly keeping silent.
The caravan headed towards the eastern suburbs of Chang 'an. When they entered the dense forest, Bai Musheng suddenly sneered.
"It's finally here."
When Zhan Zhao heard Bai Musheng's words, he instinctively sensed that something was wrong. In the next moment, a melodious flute tune suddenly sounded from the dense forest.
Rustling sounds came from all directions.
" Protect His Majesty!"
Zhan Zhao shouted and the Golden Guards immediately surrounded Bai Musheng.
Accompanied by the rustling sound, everyone's expressions changed drastically under the moonlight.
What surrounded them from all directions was a large number of countless poisonous creatures!
Snakes, scorpions, toads, centipedes…
Zhan Zhao was about to say something when he suddenly felt his body go limp. He fell onto the horse's back, and the next moment, he couldn't even hold the reins. He flipped over and fell off.
The horse also looked like Zhan Zhao, and it fell to the ground.
Zhan Zhao struggled to raise his head and was shocked to find that everyone and their horses were the same.
"Your Majesty!"
He had fallen into a trap!
A ghost-like laughter suddenly sounded. A figure slowly came from the distance among the dense poisonous creatures.
When he saw the person clearly, Zhan Zhao's pupils constricted.
" It's you!?"
That person was the Persian merchant he had seen by the Qu River.
Bai Musheng knelt on one knee and stared coldly at the Persian merchant.
"The great Heaven's Equal is actually in such a sorry state now. It's really sad…ridiculous!”
"Who are you?" Bai Musheng's eyes gradually darkened. He stared at the short man under the moonlight." You're not Persian."”
"So what?"
The other party laughed strangely again.
"Anyway, as long as they are not Han people from the Central Plains, aren't they all barbarians in your eyes?”
"Whether it's the Hu of the Western Regions or us…the Miao people.”
Bai Musheng glanced at the poisonous creatures on the ground and sneered.
"As expected, you were found by King An, right? The Southern Border's Five Poisons had submitted to the late emperor, so…you are a traitor of the Five Poisons?”
The man seemed to be angered by Bai Musheng's words. He removed the hood on his head, revealing his thin face.
"Rebel? She, Qu Rosa, brought the Holy Church to submit to the Central Plains, and that was what she called a traitor! I, on the other hand, am only here to avenge the people from the Saint who died under that scoundrel Meng Huo's blade!”
Bai Musheng remained silent.
It sounded nice, but in the end, this person was just one of the traitors who betrayed the Five Poisons after the Five Poisons Song Rosa's line surrendered.
In all these years, Meng Huo had never once attacked anyone from the Five Poisons lineage who had submitted to him.
On the contrary, after submitting to the imperial court, the southern region and the central plains had been able to exchange what they needed. The lives of the ordinary Miao people at the bottom were much better than before.
However, some people were stubborn and wanted to go back to the days when they could do whatever they wanted behind closed doors.
The flute sounded again, and the poisonous creatures around them continued to approach.
The Golden Guards on the ground looked at the poisonous creatures clinging to them in despair. They tried their best to raise their hands, but they could not do anything.
Seeing that these Golden Guards were about to die, Bai Musheng suddenly stood up and drew the sword from Zhan Zhao's waist.
With a wave of his right arm, he brought up a sword wind. With a move of his feet, his figure left an afterimage, mixed with the sound of breaking through the air, and he actually arrived in front of the Five Poisons remnant in an instant.
The man's expression changed drastically, but before he could say anything, he suddenly felt a piercing pain in his arms.
With two puffing sounds, the two arms were separated from his body in the sky full of blood!
After that, Bai Musheng circled behind him and kicked him to the ground. He then stepped on his back and squatted down to tap on his major acupuncture points to stop the bleeding.
"You…you…how is this possible!？”
"Why is the Heavenly Fragrance Powder ineffective against you?？”
The pain from losing his arms wasn't as great as the shock from Bai Musheng's poisoning. The man who had been stepped on by Bai Musheng and sprawled on the ground seemed to understand something.
"Qu Rosa, that b * tch! She gave my sacred cult's supreme treasure to you, dog emperor!？”
"The old lady can see further than you."
Bai Musheng lowered his head and untied the sachet at his waist. He tossed it up and down before tossing it to Zhan Zhao.
The sachet landed right beside Zhan Zhao. Zhan Zhao sniffed hard and soon recovered his strength.
He quickly detoxified the poison in one of the people beside him and got that person to save his colleagues while he quickly went to Bai Musheng's side.
Bai Musheng got up and looked at Zhan Zhao coldly.
"Take him away. Don't let him die. Later, hand him over to Ji Gang and let him display the Jinyiwei's abilities to his heart's content. Also…you can't tell anyone about tonight's matter. Tomorrow, after the court session, tell them that I'm…unwell.”
He wanted to take this opportunity to see how many people would jump out.
A few of them jumped out and…
Kill a few!
