However, he couldn’t tell him the truth now, right?

The other person with him was none other than the owner of the Cheris.h.i.+ng Flower Pavilion, Rong Qi. In order not to be recognized, he and Song Jingchen had disguised themselves simply.

That day, Rong Qi suggested saving them on the streets. Song Jingchen knew Shangguan Yu well, so he knew that Shangguan Yu naturally thought of the same thing as Rong Qi. Therefore, he beat him at his own game. When Shangguan Yu’s team was about to leave the city, the five Demon Guards brought people to pretend to save the fake empress dowager and stall for time while he entered the palace with Rong Qi.

As for the clothes and tokens they were wearing, Rong Qi had been in the Wu Kingdom for many years, so it was not difficult to get his hands on them.

With Commander Liu leading the way, the group arrived at the secret room beside the emperor’s bedroom.

There were experts guarding the secret room, both openly and secretly. Song Jingchen explained his intentions. Although the other party was suspicious, they didn’t stop them from entering the secret room because Commander Liu was present.

After entering the secret room and seeing the layout, Song Jingchen was stunned.

“What’s wrong?” Rong Qi asked softly.

Although he also felt that this secret room was too luxurious, Song Jingchen, who had been born with a golden spoon in his mouth, had seen everything. Rong Qi didn’t think he would be stunned by this.

However, it was really because of this.

If he didn’t clearly remember that this was the Wu Kingdom’s palace, Song Jingchen would have thought that he had returned to Great Xia, in the Kunning Palace where Song Li lived when she was still the empress.

He lowered his eyes and continued walking in. He saw Song Li lying on the bed with a palace maid guarding her.

Hearing their intentions, the palace maid quickly retreated to the side.

Song Jingchen walked forward and checked Song Li’s breathing. After confirming that she had only fallen asleep, he was relieved.

The palace maid asked carefully, “Do you want to wake her up?”

Song Jingchen shook his head and said, “I’m afraid something unexpected will happen during the transfer. There’s no need for that for the time being. Go get a cloak and put it on her.”

After instructing him, he glanced at Rong Qi. Rong Qi understood. When the palace maid pa.s.sed by him, he quietly took the pouch from her waist.

The palace maid did not notice anything. She carefully helped Song Li put on a large cloak and watched them leave with his men.

The group left the palace smoothly. However, to their surprise, they b.u.mped into Shangguan Yu, who had rushed back, on the street outside the palace gate.

Shangguan Yu sized up Song Jingchen and the others and noticed their armor. He had already guessed what had happened. He sneered. “What a good plan.”

Song Jingchen pursed his lips and said, “Your reaction wasn’t slow either.” It was faster than he had expected.

With the imperial guards behind him, it was impossible to turn around. At this point, there was only one way out.

He and Rong Qi looked at each other and did not give the other party time to set up the formation. They led their horses and rushed forward.

The two sides fought in the blink of an eye. The other party had the advantage in numbers, so it was not easy to break through.

In addition, the Wu army’s target was Song Li, the hostage. Most of the people surrounded Song Jingchen.

It would have been better if he was alone, but he still had to split his attention to protect Song Li behind him. It was inevitable that he would be restrained when dealing with them. Soon, his arm and waist were slashed a few times.

Fortunately, the five Demon Guards arrived in time, allowing him to catch his breath.

The people Shangguan Yu had brought along had seen the Demon Guards attack when they were on the streets. Now that they saw them again, they were more or less afraid.

Seeing the Wu army’s aura suddenly decrease, Rong Qi turned around in confusion. Then, he saw the five Demon Guards slash at the soldiers with their swords, and the Wu army fell in large numbers.

He rubbed his cold neck. Oh my G.o.d, he had teased them without losing his head. He should thank his parents for giving him such a good-looking appearance that these people couldn’t bear to kill him.

Song Jingchen raised his hand and slashed down, killing a soldier who was ambus.h.i.+ng Rong Qi. He said in a low voice, “Why are you in a daze? Charge out first.’

Rong Qi smiled. “Got it.”

With that, he took the lead and formed a formation with the five Demon Guards, protecting Song Jingchen and Song Li in the middle. The group cut through the obstacles along the way. Wherever they went, the Wu Kingdom’s army was overturned and corpses littered the ground. They really slaughtered their way out.

The commotion here spread far and wide. Commander Liu rushed over with his men. Seeing this scene in front of him, even a fool would understand that he had been deceived.

Thinking of the stupid thing he had done, he was angry and afraid. He gritted his teeth and s.n.a.t.c.hed the bow from the hand of a soldier beside him. He jumped onto the wall and jumped onto the roof. He aimed in Song Jingchen’s direction and shot an arrow..
