Masquerade in Bridal Attire and Marry the Prince

149. Outbreak of the Accident

Translator: Storm in a Teacup

Yuxing Tianrui followed Du Chuxuan all the way out of the city gate and rushed towards the Qingshan Temple. Yuxing Tianrui was not very surprised when he found the exit they had just gone out.

Xiangyang City was built in the early days of Shenglan State. Although the city reinforcement work requested a large sum of capital input annually, a number of dogholes like this could often be found hidden inside the grass.

Frotunately, Sect Luo knew these holes very much. Once the city was besieged by enemy troops, they could at least make the most use of these dogholes.

“What’s wrong? What are you worrying about?” Noticeing that Yuxing Tianrui looked towards that end, Du Chuxuan asked subconsciously. But he touched his nose and seemed to have known the answer. Just now, he seemed to have asked the most dignified Crown Prince to come out with him from a doghole. Once this matter was known by the civilians, he would definitely become the one to blame.

Yuxing Tianrui seemed to have notified Du Chuxuan’s ironic joke. So he became a bit upset although he had never cared about such trivial matter just now. “Since the Crown Princess didn’t care about this, I would never care either.”

“Where are you going?” Yuxing Tianrui once believed that Du Chuxuan was heading to the Qingshan Temple. But then he found that Du Chuxuan even took a temporary turn with his people at the foot of Qingshan Temple.

Du Chuxuan was leading the way in the front. Although people from Sect Luo were following them in the dark, their route could hardly be found at the moment. “Since the Martial Assembly is coming to an end, no one really knows who is the final winner. The rest participants must be eager to find that secret classic of martial technique.”

Du Chuxuan stopped at a small and ordinary courtyard and kicked the door open, “That’s why I’m here to find a scapegoat.”

In fact, Du Chuxuan didn’t care who would be the martial practitioner practicing the banned martial technique. But it was indeed a precious opportunity for them. They had been seeking for Manlou for a long time. It would be great if they could seize the opportunity to let everyone know about Manlou this time.

After the gate of the courtyard was kicked open, the man inside the yard seemed to have noticied their arrival. In a closer look, one could see that the man inside the yard was exactly the one who would often meet Yuxing Tianrui’s people.

“Is Lord Luo ready?” The man frowned. He greeted Du Chuxuan and Yuxing Tianrui with a fist salute. Ever since the last incident, Du Chuxuan didn’t let him go easily although he knew that the man had nothing to do with the kidnapping event of Yuxing Tianrui.

However, this man knew that it was already extremely difficult for Du Chuxuan to keep him alive. What he needed to do at the moment was to help Du Chuxuan successfully finish the rest of the task. If he was lucky enough, he could not only stay unscathed from this event, but also could do Lord Luo a favor.

Du Chuxuan threw a signplate in front of the man and snorted coldly, “Someone will send you the specific location later. Once you could successfully finish this task, our Sect Luo will never impose any punishment over you anymore.”

“Don’t worry, Lord Luo.” The man carefully put the token away and said shyly, “Young Master, I’m really sorry for my carelessness to have put you in a dangerous situation last time.”

After saying this, he didn’t wait any longer for Yuxing Tianrui’s reply. Instead, he took a step and twisted himself into a strange pose. Then, he flew out from the yard gently.

Looking at his movements, Du Chuxuan was surprised. Obviously, the man had deliberately hidden his real strength. Just now, his use of the move “Change of Stars” was enough to bring Du Chuxuan some difficulty in a real fight that Du Chuxuan could hardly find any effective countermeasure against it in a short time.

“Where does this person come from?” Seeing that the man had left, Yuxing Tianrui asked slowly.

“An independent warrior in the martial field. This move alone is probably his most powerful technique.” Du Chuxuan waved his hand carelessly. He could see the poor foundation of this man. It must take him a lot of effort before he could fully acquire this move. Otherwise, he would have a much more powerful attacking capacity.

Seeing that Du Chuxuan didn’t want to continue the topic, Yuxing Tianrui started his thinking. He didn’t really know what agreement Du Chuxuan had reached with that man. But probably, someone must have been sent to the Manlou.

Civilians of the Xiangyang City were having a sound sleep at night. When they woke up in the next morning, they finally realized that something important had happened last night. All curious people flocked at the entrance to the Patrol Office to check who was the chief culprit to have successively taken away so many people.

Yuxing Wei received the news in this early morning. To be honest, he should not be the one to blame this time, because he had sent all his people to look for Du Chuxuan and Yuxing Tianrui, and had no time to care about the Patrol Office.

But those beggars were smart enough. With the help of the scholar, they have beaten the Dengwen Drum after everybody had gotten up this morning. So that the news was known to everyone in the city.

“What did you say? The chief culprit has been arrested?” Yuxing Wei could feel a chill over his spine as soon as he heard the news. He tried his best to calm and signaled his followers to immediately report what was going on.

“We have no access to learn more. We could only know that the Patrol Office has already put the culprit in custody. No one really knows how many years of imprisonment would the culprit have to face before those soldiers rescue those innocent girls based on the information given by the culprit.”

The person kneeling in front of Yuxing Wei and reporting the event, didn’t really know why their master suddenly became so upset. Yesterday, their master had been anxious to arrest the culprit. Today, the culprit had been arrested. That meant they didn’t have to look for Lord Luo’s help.

Not bothering to pay attention to the stupid thoughts of his followers, Yuxing Wei was quickly thinking in his mind, ‘How come this person was suddenly arrested? There must be some people helping them behind the scene.’

For some reason, Yuxing Wei could feel through his intuition that Luo Xuan, the owner of Sect Luo, must be the one who had caught the culprit. However, Yuxing Wei had no idea where the culprit was, not to mention solving any upcoming problems if any.

Yuxing Wei gritted his teeth and suddenly stood up, “Tell all the martial experts of Manlou to leave Xiangyang City. Ask them to leave as many as possible.”

This was indeed a difficult decision for Yuxing Wei. Although he could control some people, he had to borrow some martial expert to control the Manlou.

Once the other side notified that they had suffered such a huge manpower loss due to his improper control, they would no longer want to cooperate with him.

“What are you waiting for? Hurry up!” He kicked the kneeling person to release his surge of anger.
