Chapter 246 Escape
Chu Tianxing's men seemed to have descended from the sky, and were approaching the teahouse layer by layer like a tide.
They walked steadily, with serious expressions and holding various weapons, forming an impenetrable encirclement.
As the number of people continued to increase, the space around the teahouse gradually filled up and became crowded.
Everyone moved forward towards the teahouse with determination, as if they wanted to swallow up the entire teahouse.
In the end, the teahouse was surrounded and there was no way to escape.
However, Xiao Yifei escaped at an astonishing speed before the encirclement closed.
This teahouse was a place he carefully selected, so he was naturally familiar with the surrounding environment and retreat routes.
He keenly noticed that the atmosphere outside the teahouse was not right, as if several martial arts masters were surrounding them from far away.
He immediately stood up, walked to a window on the side of the teahouse, and while no one was paying attention, he jumped out nimbly and climbed onto the roof in an instant.
Lying on the roof, he looked around the teahouse and could vaguely see a number of people walking in a hurry and gathering around on the ground.
Xiao Yifei let out a long sigh, turned around and jumped onto the roof of a nearby house, then disappeared into the night.
When Chu Tianxing's men broke into the teahouse, it was already empty.
An hour later, at the Jia Mansion.
Xiao Yifei paced back and forth in the room angrily, feeling that he had a lot of anger in his heart that he had no place to vent.
This sudden arrest by Chu Tianxing made him even more convinced that Ye Xiaoxuan was sent by Chu Tianxing.
"It seems that her appearance is not accidental, but a premeditated action." Xiao Yifei said to Li Qing gritting his teeth.
He felt a chill running down his spine, as if an invisible hand was gripping his heart tightly, making it hard for him to breathe.
Realizing that he could no longer be trapped in Ye Xiaoxuan's hypocrisy, he finally made up his mind.
"Ye Xiaoxuan must die! Anyone who betrays me will only end up dead." He whispered.
Then, he gave Li Qing a confidential order: "Secretly assassinate Ye Xiaoxuan. This mission must be completed quietly and must not attract anyone's attention."
"Yes." Li Qing accepted the order.
However, the development of things was beyond his expectations.
When he thought everything was under control, Ye Xiaoxuan disappeared without a trace as if she had evaporated from the face of the earth.
three days later.
Xiao Yifei's men searched everywhere, but after three whole days, they still didn't find any trace of Ye Xiaoxuan.
This made him feel very anxious and uneasy, and he began to wonder if someone was secretly helping Ye Xiaoxuan escape.
"It must be Chu Tianxing who is behind Ye Xiaoxuan's plan. Now he has hidden her again."
Xiao Yifei said to Li Qing, his tone filled with anger and unwillingness.
However, he was not discouraged. Instead, he was determined to solve the mystery and find out the truth.
So he began to study every clue carefully, not missing any details.
At the same time, he also personally investigated Ye Xiaoxuan's background and past, trying to find the connection between her and Chu Tianxing.
As time went on, he gradually discovered some clues that pointed to a larger conspiracy.
He realized that he might have touched the core of a secret organization, and Chu Tianxing was just a pawn in their hands.
"I feel like someone is playing a big game. Who is it?" Xiao Yifei said to Li Qing.
Li Qing couldn't think of anything and didn't dare to speak.
"I must uncover the truth." Xiao Yifei became more determined.
Li Qing heard this and said cautiously:
"Although Miss Ye has been exposed, Chu Tianxing will never give up. He will definitely find a way to deal with us. How should we deal with it?"
Xiao Yifei was well aware of his current difficult situation. If he continued to be exposed, he would most likely be found by Chu Tianxing and put in danger.
After careful consideration, he decided to find a safe place to hide and wait for the situation to become clear before taking action.
"You go find a suitable hiding place. I want to stay out of the spotlight for a while." Xiao Yifei said.
"Yes."
November 15th.
Li Qing found a hidden cave on a mountain fifty miles outside the imperial capital. The cave was large, dark and damp inside, but it could conceal their breath and traces very well.
After entering the cave, Li Qing covered the entrance with branches and leaves to prevent it from being discovered.
Xiao Yifei sat on a rock, closed his eyes, adjusted his breathing, and tried to calm himself down.
He needs to think quietly about his next plan.
He knew that the most important thing now was to protect himself and avoid being found by Chu Tianxing.
At the same time, he also needs to look for opportunities to understand the situation outside and get in touch with other forces.
During this process, he must remain vigilant and be ready to deal with possible crises at any time.
As time went by, Xiao Yifei gradually adapted to this reclusive life.
He practiced martial arts every day to keep his body sharp and strong. He also went out regularly to contact and bribe some small gangs of bandits nearby.
After all, the imperial capital is Chu Tianxing's territory, where he has deep roots and a wide sphere of influence.
In comparison, although Xiao Yifei has his own strength, his manpower still seems a little insufficient on the stage of the imperial capital.
If he wants to compete with local tyrants like Chu Tianxing, he needs more resources and support.
However, Xiao Yifei was not intimidated by these difficulties. He knew that only through continuous efforts and accumulation could he gradually make up for the gap between himself and his opponents.
Five days later.
Xiao Yifei got an important clue—Chu Tianxing has a secret base.
"Sir, the secret guards accidentally discovered some secrets about Ye Xiaoxuan while investigating Chu Tianxing's background."
Li Qing respectfully reported the latest intelligence sent by the secret guards.
"What's the content?" Xiao Yifei asked anxiously.
"There is news that Ye Xiaoxuan is also a victim. She was used by Chu Tianxing and forced to participate in this conspiracy. She is currently imprisoned in a secret base.
But this news is not necessarily true.”
Although the information the secret guards learned was always true and false, Xiao Yifei still chose to believe it.
"I knew that Xuan'er was coerced. She must have been locked up."
Xiao Yifei suddenly felt mixed emotions.
Ye Xiaoxuan looks very similar to his Crown Princess, but has a simpler personality and is easier to control.
He decided to save Ye Xiaoxuan from danger and at the same time completely crush Chu Tianxing's conspiracy.
"Immediately find someone to check where Ye Xiaoxuan is being held." Xiao Yifei ordered Li Qing.
"Yes."
After Li Qing left, Xiao Yifei clasped his hands together and prayed silently in his heart that he could find a chance to rescue Ye Xiaoxuan.
November twenty-fifth.
After several days of investigation, the secret guards finally discovered the secret base where Ye Xiaoxuan was imprisoned.
It was a gloomy and terrifying castle hidden in the mountains and forests, surrounded by high walls, and the walls were full of guards holding weapons.
Xiao Yifei approached the castle cautiously, observing the surrounding environment.
The castle gate was closed, with two strong guards standing guard at the door.
Xiao Yifei took a deep breath, adjusted his breathing rhythm, and then carefully walked around to the side of the castle.
He leaped onto the city wall as nimbly as a cheetah and avoided the guards' sight.
His movements were as swift and silent as a ghost, as if they blended into the darkness, making them difficult to detect.
He quickly sneaked into the castle, cleverly avoiding the patrolling soldiers again and again, and finally found the room where Ye Xiaoxuan was imprisoned.
The room was dark and damp, filled with a foul smell.
Ye Xiaoxuan curled up in the corner, looking haggard and with scars all over her body.
When she saw Xiao Yifei coming, a glimmer of hope flashed in her eyes.
Xiao Yifei looked at Ye Xiaoxuan distressedly and said softly, "Xuan'er, don't be afraid, I'm here to save you."
Ye Xiaoxuan's tears welled up in her eyes. She reached out and grabbed Xiao Yifei's arm, and couldn't wait to tell him her troubles.
"Sir, it was the prince who forced me to do it."
"I know."
At this moment, Xiao Yifei believed even more that she was being coerced.
As he said that, he quickly untied the ropes on Ye Xiaoxuan and helped her up.
"I'll take you out of here right now."
"it is good."
Just then, footsteps were heard outside the door. Xiao Yifei's face changed and he hurriedly hid Ye Xiaoxuan behind him.
