Zhuque City, inside the city lord's palace.
At this time, Bei Dao was walking back and forth, waiting for news about the killer.
Last night, Bei Dao didn't sleep all night, so he stretched his neck and waited.
But after waiting all night, the killers didn't come back.
This made Bei Dao a little worried.
"Master Bei Dao, don't panic."
"Perhaps your people have encountered some trouble and are hiding in Kyoto City to avoid difficulties?" City Lord Xue Ruhai said.
Although Xue Ruhai said this, he was not worried at all in his heart.
Before entering the General's Mansion, he had explained it to several people in Beidao.
If something goes wrong, I won't be responsible. I just bring these people into the general's mansion.
As for how to act and what the purpose is, it has nothing to do with me.
"Alas!" Finally, Bei Dao sighed and sat down.
"How about this."
"I'll send someone to Kyoto City to inquire and see if there is any news about those people."
"If not, of course it would be best."
"If we find out who they were caught by, then Master Bei Dao should leave the Great Xia Dynasty as soon as possible." Xue Ruhai said.
"Okay, I'll do as you say." Bei Dao had no other choice, so he agreed.
"I will send people to Kyoto City now."
"However, Mr. Bei Dao, don't forget the conditions you promised me before." Xue Ruhai said.
"I know, we won't treat you badly." Bei Dao was upset at this time, and his words were not in a good mood.
Afterwards, Xue Ruhai immediately sent people to Kyoto City to inquire about the news.
…
Kyoto City, in the Tai Chi Hall.
At this time, Zhang Ying entered the Tai Chi Hall and then came to the Imperial Study Room.
"Your Majesty, regarding Bei Dao's whereabouts, my subordinates have already interrogated him." Zhang Ying said.
"Where?" Jiang Qiulu asked immediately.
"In Zhuque City." Zhang Ying replied.
"Suzaku City? Very good."
Afterwards, Jiang Qiulu stood up and said loudly to the door.
"Pass my order and send out troops to blockade Suzaku City immediately."
"No one is allowed to leave the city without permission."
"At the same time, let Chen Fei lead a team to search the entire Suzaku City!" Jiang Qiulu immediately ordered.
Soon, the army and Nanzhen Fusi received Jiang Qiulu's order.
Without saying a word, all the ministries immediately marched towards Suzaku City.
At this time, in Kyoto City, the guards responsible for inquiring about information had not found any information about the killer.
But the guard saw that Nanzhen Fusi and the army were integrating their troops, and he seemed to be about to march in a hurry.
Seeing this scene, the guard realized that something was wrong and immediately returned to Suzaku City.
After returning to Suzaku City, the guards immediately rushed into the city lord's mansion.
"City Lord, it's not good."
"Troops are being assembled in the direction of Kyoto City."
"With the army, there are also people from Nanzhen Fusi." The guard said breathlessly.
Upon hearing the news, Bei Dao immediately broke into a cold sweat.
"It's bad. I haven't heard from the killer for so long. Maybe they have been caught now."
"Then the killer revealed your hiding place."
"The troops assembled by the Great Xia Dynasty may be preparing to blockade Suzaku City."
"Then find out your whereabouts." Xue Ruhai had been in official circles for many years, and he immediately saw the essence of the matter.
"Otherwise, the direction of Kyoto City would not have mobilized so many troops, and even dispatched Jin Yiwei." Xue Ruhai added.
At this time, Bei Dao was also a little panicked. After all, he was only here alone. How could he withstand the search of so many people?
Even though the area of Zhuque City is not small, if Suzaku City continues to be blocked like this, he will not be able to leave at all.
In this case, sooner or later, his whereabouts will be discovered by the Zhenfu Division.
Therefore, he could only escape from Suzaku City before the troops from the direction of Kyoto City arrived.
"City Lord Xue, give me a horse, I want to escape from here." Bei Dao said anxiously to Xue Ruhai.
"No, in this case, wouldn't I become an accomplice?" Xue Ruhai said, and then pointed to the stable outside.
There happened to be a few horses in the stable.
"Don't worry, City Lord, I have a sense of discretion in my heart."
"Now you are very important to our Sunset Dynasty. Even if I die, you cannot die."
After Bei Dao finished speaking, he immediately left the city lord's mansion, mounted a horse, and rushed out of the city.
However, as soon as I arrived here, I found that the door here was closed, and there were some Kyoto City troops on the city wall.
A team of royal guards is coming here.
Fortunately, Bei Dao hid himself in advance and waited for these royal guards to pass by.
"Damn it, it's still a step too late." Bei Dao gritted his teeth and said with some regret in his heart.
If I had known that this would be the case, I would have left early today, causing myself to wait all night and half of the day in vain.
With this skill, he would have fled to the East China Sea long ago.
At this time, Chen Fei and his party had entered Suzaku City and then went directly to the City Lord's Mansion.
"Hey, Ambassador Chen Zhen, we meet again, please come in quickly." Xue Ruhai greeted with a smile on his face.
"Come here, let me have some good tea." Xue Ruhai said loudly to the door.
"City Lord Xue, don't bother."
"I came here today to convey a few of His Majesty's orders. I will leave after I finish speaking."
"First of all, in the past few days, both gates of Suzaku City have been closed tightly."
"No one is allowed to leave without permission."
"The last point is, after meeting this person, report it to us immediately, do you understand?" Chen Fei said to Xue Ruhai.
Xue Ruhai glanced at the portrait in Chen Fei's hand. Above the portrait was exactly what Beidao looked like.
"Okay, we will cooperate fully with the palace to handle matters."
"How about this? I'll send people to look for him in other surrounding cities to see if there is any whereabouts of this person." Xue Ruhai said.
"No need, according to the intelligence, this person is in Suzaku City and has not gone anywhere." Chen Fei said.
At this time, Xue Ruhai was also very worried, wondering if Bei Dao had left Suzaku City.
In fact, what Xue Ruhai said could be regarded as leaving a way out for himself.
If Bei Dao really didn't escape, then he could take advantage of the opportunity of sending people out to search the city to mix Bei Dao into it, and then let him leave Kyoto City.
But now, Chen Fei resolutely rejected his request, so Xue Ruhai could only pray that Bei Dao had left here.
But Xue Ruhai didn't know that Bei Dao was still in Kyoto City at this time.
After a while, Chen Fei led people out of the City Lord's Mansion.
After Jin Yiwei's people left, Xue Ruhai breathed a sigh of relief.
Until night, Suzaku City was in a state of thorough investigation.
