The news had been conveyed to Xuanwu City, and Xue Ruhai and Bei Dao were both relieved.
As long as Bei Dao can leave Suzaku City safely, he can be sure that he will be safe.
"Master Bei Dao, the news has been sent out. You will stay here for the next few days and don't do anything."
"In a few days, the security at the city gate will be removed. Please leave immediately," Xue Ruhai said.
"Okay, I have my own sense of discretion." Bei Dao said.
Kyoto City, inside the Tai Chi Hall.
"Your Majesty, our people have blocked Suzaku City."
"But our people have been searching for several days and still haven't found any trace of Bei Dao."
"Is it possible that the intelligence is wrong, or that Bei Dao knew we would go there, so he ran away in advance?" Di Yunhao said.
Jiang Qiulu also frowned, feeling that something was a little strange.
"That shouldn't be the case. Logically speaking, we should be able to dispatch troops very quickly."
"How did he get the news in advance and leave Suzaku City quickly?" Jiang Qiulu asked puzzledly.
"Brother Emperor, could it be that we have overlooked some places?"
"Judging from the information sent by Jin Yiwei, we have checked all the inns and post houses in Suzaku City."
"Is it possible that Bei Dao is hiding in some hidden places?" Jiang Chunxiao reminded.
"Suzaku City has a population of more than 100,000. Looking for one person is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
"It's very difficult." Jiang Donglin said.
Jiang Qiulu thought about it and felt that it must not be that simple.
Troops have been sent to inspect all four gates of Suzaku City.
If this continues, it will cause problems for the people of Zhuque City when traveling.
"Yunhao, tell Xue Ruhai, the city lord of Suzaku City, and ask him to help us search together."
"If you still can't find it, it can only mean that Bei Dao has really left Suzaku City." Jiang Qiulu said.
Di Yunhao immediately ordered to go down and convey Jiang Qiulu's instructions to Zhuque City.
Zhuque City, the city lord's mansion.
Xue Ruhai looked at the documents sent from the royal family and began to feel anxious.
"Sir Bei Dao, there is news from the royal family."
"Let me send someone to assist Jin Yiwei in finding your whereabouts." Xue Ruhai said to Bei Dao.
"Don't worry, City Lord, the red members of Xuanwu City have already found a way to come."
"I guess I can get here today." Bei Dao said.
Xue Ruhai felt more and more nervous at this time. As long as Bei Dao stayed here for a while, he would be at risk of being discovered.
Who knows when Jin Yiwei will suddenly investigate him, so that he will have no room to turn around.
The crime of harboring people from the Sunset Dynasty and secretly colluding to seek benefits was enough to make him lose his head.
In the evening, the people from the Red Organization arrived at Suzaku City.
"Sir Bei Dao, there are troops from the Great Xia Dynasty guarding Suzaku City."
"Now within Suzaku City, only people are allowed to enter, not leave. There are also Jinyi guards searching the city."
"It's very difficult to leave here."
"However, we found a secret passage in a place on the city wall, and we can just leave the city from there."
A red member said.
Bei Dao smiled and then looked at Xue Ruhai.
"City Master Xue, we will leave in a moment, but before that, I would like to ask the City Master for a favor," Bei Dao said.
"What?"
"If someone comes over and asks about our whereabouts, I think you should know what to say." Bei Dao said.
"Of course I know this, you don't need to remind me." Xue Ruhai said.
"Haha, that's good."
"City Lord Xue, in that case, let's take our leave and see you later." Bei Dao stood up and said to Xue Ruhai.
"Okay, see you later." Xue Ruhai also stood up and said.
After seeing these people leaving, Xue Ruhai's face suddenly darkened.
I don't want to meet these people again.
"City Lord, not many people know about that secret passage."
"How did they find it?" the guard of the City Lord's Mansion asked.
"Needless to say, of course it was someone from their red organization who found it."
"Hmph, the people from the Red Organization really investigate carefully." Xue Ruhai said.
"After we get the profit from the white rice, we have to find an opportunity to get rid of it."
Upon hearing this, the guard immediately became confused.
"City Lord, didn't Bei Dao say that he wanted to return to the Sunset Dynasty?"
"How can we get rid of him in the Sunset Dynasty?" the guard asked doubtfully.
"Just watch. With his temperament, he will definitely come here again."
"As long as he dares to set foot in Zhuque City again, he will never leave." Xue Ruhai said.
…
After a series of searches, Jin Yiwei still found no trace of Bei Dao.
In desperation, Jiang Qiulu could only withdraw his troops.
"Shouldn't it? Could it be that Beidao has wings and can fly?" Jiang Qiulu asked doubtfully.
"Your Majesty, I think we must have forgotten something." Di Yunhao said.
"No way. The Jin Yiwei almost turned Suzaku City upside down, but they still couldn't find any trace of this person."
"Is it possible that he really left early?" Jiang Qiulu asked doubtfully.
In Suzaku City, Chen Fei received Jiang Qiulu's order to retreat and was organizing his team to return to Kyoto City.
"Your Excellency, the Governor, the second team discovered a strange place." A white man came over and reported to Chen Fei.
"A strange place? Take me there to have a look." Chen Fei said.
Later, under the leadership of Baihu, Chen Fei came to a city wall.
This place is on the edge of Suzaku City, and basically no one will come here.
Chen Fei took one look and immediately saw something was wrong.
Under the city wall, a hole was opened at some point, just big enough for an adult to pass through.
"No wonder no one can be found. Bei Dao must have escaped from here." Chen Fei said.
"Sir, when we first came here, we first quickly searched the city. Who would have thought that there is a secret passage here."
"I don't know how long Beidao has been gone. Should we chase him to Donghai City?" said the man from the household just now.
"It's too late." Chen Fei sighed, then raised his head and looked at the City Lord's Mansion not far away.
"Assemble all the royal guards and head to the city lord's palace." Chen Fei ordered.
At this time, Chen Fei suddenly thought of a possibility, that is, Xue Ruhai colluded with Bei Dao and concealed it from Jin Yiwei.
Ever since the last incident at the Shengyan Chamber of Commerce, Chen Fei had a vague feeling that something was not right with Xue Ruhai.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, we can just investigate.
After a while, a large number of royal guards appeared around the City Lord's Mansion, which made the guards of the City Lord's Mansion suddenly feel terrified.
"City Lord, it's not good!"
"Many imperial guards have appeared outside and have surrounded the city lord's palace!" A guard hurriedly entered the palace and said.
