It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 530 I Will Always Find Her
The two people studied until midnight, but there was no result.

It was not until Yanniang saw the candlelight in the bedroom and came in to see what was going on that she was frightened by the two men. She covered her chest and asked, "What are you doing? Brother Liu?"

She was also very surprised that she saw Liu Yao.

"Don't make a sound." At this time, Liu Yao was still in the mood to laugh, "Is Aunt Yan okay?"

"I'm fine." Yan Niang no longer had the timidity she had when she was a concubine. She was now much more cheerful and talked and laughed with everyone. "Are you here to look for a girl?"

"Do you know where she is?"

"Isn't she in Tai'an County?" Yan Niang also deliberately lowered her voice. In fact, she knew that Yang Xianrong was missing, but because she didn't know the purpose of Liu Yao's visit, she still had some reservations.

"I've been to Tai'an County, and she's already left." How could Liu Yao not see that Yan Niang was keeping a secret? He said sincerely, "I've been looking for her, thinking maybe she would come back to see Jing'er... so I came here."

"You've already left, why are you coming back?" Yan Niang was a little touched, but she didn't take such deep affection seriously. After all, she was taught from childhood not to be sincere to men, but to serve them well. Until now, she has been adhering to this attitude and philosophy.

"Where will she go?" the two men asked at the same time.

"The world is so big, the girl should go out and see the world." Yan Niang sighed, "She has been trapped in this palace for too long."

"It's not safe." Liu Yao said anxiously, "Where could she go?"

"I heard her say before that she longed for the vastness of the grassland. Maybe I should go and take a look." Yan Niang responded casually, reaching out to the cabinet to get some pens and ink. "The little princess has to write a memorial tomorrow. The emperor... Emperor Xiaohui has been dead for several years... After all, only Tianyuan Palace still remembers this matter."

"Oh, if my third sister were here, she would definitely be sad too." Yang Xianyong also sighed.

"By the way, did you find Qin Chaoge and Zhang Liangchu later?" Liu Yao asked.

"No. We only found the carriage, but it was broken into pieces... Yuan Jianshuo and I went to check, but there was no trace of my mother's coffin either."

"Well, this is fine. If they really send it to the eastern suburbs to be burned, it won't be good either." Liu Yao also sighed, "My godmother's belongings are still there, right? Otherwise, it would be good to make a cenotaph."

"Oh, by the way, speaking of this, I heard that Liu Cong built a cenotaph on Mount Songshan. Who was it for? Could it be..." Yang Xianyong did not continue speaking, but just stared at him with wide eyes.

"That should be it." Liu Yao nodded, "My brother is also a lovesick person. I just like your silly sister."

"Hey, don't mention her, she's annoying." Yang Xianyong was already annoyed. He already knew everything Yang Xianlian had done, so he got angry whenever she was mentioned.

"Then... do you think my third sister would have gone to Songshan?" Liu Yao put forward a hypothesis.

"Why?" Yang Xianyong and Yan Niang both asked.

"That she... maybe, still wants to go see her..." Liu Yao didn't say it so confidently, but he still said it.

Yang Xianyong looked at him, stunned for a moment before saying, "Maybe. Third sister has always been good to her. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't have entered the palace. Oh..." "Then I'll go and take a look." Liu Yao was also impatient, and he stood up and walked out. Yan Niang immediately grabbed him, "It's dark, you go out like this, won't you be caught by the imperial guards?"

"That's not the case. I still have some skills." Liu Yao smiled, "Didn't I just come in?"

"That being said, if the girl is not in Songshan, where are you going to find her?" Yan Niang asked.

"Then I will go to Tai'an County. She will always have to go home, and I will find her eventually." Liu Yao smiled brightly with light in his eyes.

Yang Xianyong thought for a moment before saying, "If you still can't find her, come back quietly. I think Liu Cong should be coming soon, and we want to take advantage of the chaos to escape. Otherwise, Sima Chi's supervision of Tianyuan Palace may seem lax, but he is actually very careful. You also know that he doesn't have any good intentions towards my third sister."

"Yes, I understand." Liu Yao nodded, "Then it's settled. I'll be back soon, and you guys should take care of yourselves."

"Yeah." Yang Xianyong nodded.

As Liu Yao walked out, he couldn't help but turn around and say, "Liu Cong has changed a lot. If you really meet him, don't say anything and just stand aside."

"Okay." Yang Xianyong nodded. He knew what happened between Liu Cong and Yang Xianlian.

After traveling day and night, they finally arrived at the foot of Songshan Mountain five days later. I thought there would be many twists and turns and checkpoints along the way, but surprisingly, there was nothing. Liu Cong did not send anyone forward, and Sima Chi did not have anyone to defend. It was so quiet.

Liu Yao was a little worried, but he thought this was a good thing. If Yang Xianrong really came here, it would be bad if he encountered bandits.

But in fact, he soon discovered that Liu Cong had sent many people to ambush here. Seeing that they were civilians, they did not make trouble and let them all pass. However, they also pretended to be civilians, some pushed carts, some transported goods, and some pretended to flee, and were slowly moving towards Luoyang.

Liu Yao's heart was startled, and he instantly understood Liu Cong's intention. He wanted to turn around and report to Yang Xianyong, but he was recognized by Liu Cong's men.

A group of people suddenly emerged from behind the forest.

Everyone knelt at Liu Yao's feet and shouted happily: "General, you are back! It's great!"

Liu Yao had a very good reputation in the Han army because he would not go into battle rashly, and even if he did, he would rush to the front. This also won him a lot of good names and the respect and trust of everyone.

Seeing his old subordinates, he was also a little excited and asked in a low voice: "Where is His Majesty?"

"They are still on the mountain. They said they are going to perform some rituals for 49 days. They asked us to slowly move towards Luoyang."

"How long has it been?" Liu Yao couldn't help but grin. What was going on?

"It's been more than forty days, right? I don't remember. Anyway, we should be the last wave." A young general in the lead even shed tears, "General, His Majesty is reluctant to let us rush to the front, saying that he wants to wait for you to come back and let you lead us. He asked all his personal guards to be the vanguard... General, we are not afraid of death, we are heroes!"

"What? Did someone say something?" Liu Yao clearly heard different meanings in these words.
