<h4>Chapter 1719: Chapter 1710: No Retreat</h4>
Once again falling onto the beast’s back, the man in the purple robe appeared quite surprised.
In his anger, he wanted to condemn the war and the blizzard.
But when he recalled how he had just lightly lifted his left hand and could immediately stop the red tail, he felt that the two elderly men before him might not be ordinary people.
Then he calmed down and waved to the six guards behind him, signaling them to retreat. "You all withdraw. This is the King’s mistake!"
Hearing this, I was surprised by the war and the blizzard.
Logically, they suddenly blocked the road. They must have been wrong.
But this man in the purple robe not only did not get angry but also directly took on the responsibility of the past.
"Two seniors, it’s toote. Where are you headed?"
After the six guards drank, the man in the purple robe jumped onto the back of the red-tailed beast, walked up to Zhan Feng and Mo Fengxue, and bowed.
Seeing this, the six guards jumped off the beast’s back and closely followed the man in the purple robe, afraid that something might happen to him!
"You don’t need to know where we’re going. But we want to know where you intend to go at such ate hour?"
Originally, the preparations forbat wereprehensive, but upon seeing the humility and deference of the man in the purple robe, they temporarily dismissed the idea of initiating a fight.
"How bold, old man, how dare you speak to a Prince like that?"
Seeing how intense the situation became, the ck Armor Guard closest to the man in the purple robe couldn’t help but scold.
"A prince?"
Hearing these two words, I, standing proudly on the mountain, couldn’t help but feel moved.
Though the man in the purple robe, as the leader, still appeared shaken, he still stood firmly in front of Zhan Feng without stepping back.
At this moment, Ao Cangsheng stepped forward, looking at the man in the purple robe and said, "I heard that you’re a king of the Tang Dynasty. I am curious, which king are you?"
After seeing Zhan Feng and Mo Fengxue, the man in the purple robe already knew that the three elderly men in front of him were probably rare superpowers.
Shock piling upon shock, he had to honestly say, "This king is the King of Benevolence and Righteousness!"
"The King of Benevolence and Righteousness?"
Hearing these three words, Ao Cangsheng’s expression showed surprise, even Mo Fengxue and Zhan Feng were astonished.
A bit taken aback, Ao Cangsheng remarked, "Why would a princee here sote, returning to Qingfeng Valley?"
Baili Qingxuan said, "As I mentioned earlier, there’s an urgent matter to attend to, and the road lies ahead."
Baili Qingxuan didn’t express his intentions because he didn’t know the identity of the three people in front of him.
Without these three revealing their identities, even if it meant death, Baili Qingxuan couldn’t disclose his intentions.
"Asking Lord King, are you heading to the Northwest Army?"
However, the next words from Ao Cangsheng scared Baili Qingxuan into a cold sweat.
"No... How could this king go there? That’s the front line of battle. Without the emperor’s decree, no one can go there!"
A sh of inexplicable panic crossed Baili Qingxuan’s face, then he pretended to calm down.
But this subtle expression did not escape Ao Cangsheng’s eyes.
Through Baili Qingxuan’s hesitant tone and rmed look, Ao Cangsheng concluded that his guess was correct.
But why would Bai Li Xuan go to the Northwest Military Headquarters in the middle of the night?
Ou Cangsheng curiously said, "I just heard a secret. General Ao Yundun will be sent to the Northwest tonight."
"I’m not sure. Lord King, have you heard this news?"
As these words came out, Baili Qingxuan’s pupils expanded once again.
"No!"
Shock shed in his eyes, then Baili Qingxuan decisively replied.
"Hmph! Don’t pretend, my lord. Your eyes betray you!"
Seeing Baili Qingxuan lose hisposure again, Ao Cangsheng gently smiled.
"What are the seniors talking about?"
Baili Qingxuan’s heart beat wildly. He truly didn’t understand why the elder in front of him knew his intentions.
Seeing Baili Qingxuan’s shock again, Ao Cangsheng confirmed that Baili Qingxuan was in the area at midnight primarily because Baili Chunqiu had released his father.
With this conjecture, Ao Cangsheng directly opened up: "Heaven knows, the three of us came here in the dead of night to rescue General Ao Yundun!"
At these words, just when Baili Qingxuan had calmed down, he could no longer suppress his inner shock. His body shook and he couldn’t help but stagger a step.
"What did you say?"
Baili Qingxuan’s students suddenly widened their eyes in surprise, staring at Ao Cangsheng with astonishment.
"I said we are here to break the prisoner free!"
Ao Cangsheng said in a calm voice.
"Are you not afraid ofmitting a great crime?"
Baili Lanhei’s chest heaved up and down with a sudden cool tone.
Ao Cangsheng coldlyughed in Wen Yan’s voice: "Evenmitting crimes against heaven is better than the Tang Dynasty’s beacons proliferating, ughtering many."
Hearing these words, Baili Qingxuan’s expression slightly changed.
He has always been meticulous in his manners, and now, Ao Cangsheng’s demeanor didn’t seem deceitful at all.
So, was it true that these three came to rescue the prisoner? Baili Qingxuan had some uncertain thoughts in his heart.
"Since you came to break the prisoner free, have you seen any prisoner convoy teams?"
To confirm the identity of these three, Baili Qingxuan tentatively asked.
If these three were truthful, they would surely have seen all the teams that passed.
Conversely, if they didn’t see them, they must be lying.
"Four prisoner convoy teams just passed, each team consisting of seventeen members. But there was no arrogant general in the prison, aside from thunder and explosives!"
Ao Cangsheng understood Baili Qingxuan’s intention, so he described the four teams he had just seen.
Hearing Ao Cangsheng’s description, Baili Qingxuan’s suspicion was confirmed.
Just when he was about to exin his intentions, he heard Ao Cangsheng say: "All four prisoner convoy teams were left by us in Qingfeng Valley."
"What? Did the seniors kill them all?"
Baili Qingxuan’s face was greatly shocked. He could not imagine that the seemingly benevolent elder before him was a ruthless killer.
"What do you mean?"
Zhan Mo frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Baili Qingxuan gently smiled: "The three may not know. Several months ago, the emperor had a secret passage built beneath Qingfeng Valley, directly leading to the end of Nanji Mountain.
"Until today, this secret passage has not been fully opened. To prevent unexpected events, under the guise of the Alchemy Manual, the emperor secretly sent General Ao to the front line tonight in the dark.
"However, to cause doubt, the emperor also created ten fake Guards to pass through Qingfeng Valley in sequence."
"This way, we can dy any possible rescues, and damage you significantly."
"As the senior said, the thunder and explosives were means devised by the emperor to deal with you."
"But seeing that the three seniors were unharmed, presumably, the thunder explosives were not triggered."
At thest sentence, Zhan Feng couldn’t help butugh.
"Why do seniorsugh?"
"Smiling silently," I asked curiously.
"The old man doesn’t know if he was right, but thest part is definitely wrong."
To be honest, the first prisoner transport exploded. Plus, more than a dozen prisoners were buried by the prison guard vehicles.
"But the old man was too fortunate, managing to escape that disaster. So, the old man says, you guessed wrong!"
"Is that so!"
Baili Qingxuan spoke those words, but internally, he didn’t think so.
Just now, with Zhan Feng’s blow and Mo Fengxue’s sudden appearance, he had reason to believe that these two seniors never merely escaped by chance.
Thinking like this, he heard Ao Cangsheng say: "So does Wang Ye know where the secret passage’s entrance is?"
