Chapter 431 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Eighty-one)

Qi Xingsheng was standing in the front yard. Upon hearing the news, he grabbed his subordinate by the collar and said, "What did you say? With so many people guarding her, you told me she's missing? Do you know how important she is to us?"

"Please calm down, Your Highness! I didn't expect her to disappear!"

"What about those useless people guarding the Cui family? Where's Shuka? Are they all dead?"

"They were all unconscious. I have already woken them up and told them to rush over to resist the enemy. As for Shuka, he is also missing!"

"Did someone rescue her? Or did Shuka betray me? Send someone to look for her immediately! We can't let that woman escape!"

"Yes, I will send someone to look for him right away."

Qi Xingsheng watched his subordinate walk out of the front yard gate. Just as his left foot stepped over the threshold, he suddenly stopped. He shouted twice in surprise, only to find that the man suddenly fell to the ground with two arrows stuck in his chest.

"Someone come! Someone come quickly! Protect this prince!"

Qi Xingsheng retreated while calling for help. When he retreated to the main courtyard, he happened to meet Yuan Qiuli who was supported by two servants.

"Why are you running out at this time? Aren't you going to give birth?"

Yuan Qiuli listened to the sounds of fierce fighting not far away and said angrily, "How can I not come out? Am I going to get killed if I stay in the house? Let's run away quickly. I don't think the baby will be born for a while. Let's run for our lives first."

"Are you saying that my people can't resist these villains? We haven't even figured out who attacked us, and we're running away? What if they're not Emperor Liang's men?"

Yuan Qiuli said impatiently, "It must be someone sent by the Emperor of Liang to rescue the Cui family! Who else could it be? You should quickly take Cui Li with you and escape. With her in our hands, the enemy won't dare to act rashly at this critical moment. We're not ready now, so it's not the right time to replace her."

"Oh, that woman ran away a long time ago!"

"What? She escaped? Did our plan get discovered? What are you waiting for? Let's run! Are we going to die if we don't run?"

Yuan Qiuli screamed and immediately asked a tall servant to carry her out through the back door.

"Where are you going? We're surrounded by enemies. Are you going out to die?"

"Then what do you say we should do! Prince Qi, Li Niang is begging you to take her away."

Qi Xingsheng looked at Yuan Qiuli who was in a hurry to run for her life and felt a little contemptuous. Women are just timid. When there is an enemy attack, they don’t want to face the enemy head-on, and the first thing they think about is to escape.

"follow me."

Qi Xingsheng called Shuka with a special whistle and took Yuan Qiuli to a secret passage.

"Master, those people told us to hand over the Royal Concubine of Liang, otherwise they would burn us alive."

After hearing what his men said, Qi Xingsheng felt confused. Could it be that Cui Li was not taken away by them?

He looked at the Sirius Bone Flute in his hand. Why hadn't Shuka returned yet? Had his control failed? Impossible!

"You stabilize them first and buy time."

Qi Xingsheng sent his men to resist the enemy, while he himself went to open the secret passage.

Yuan Qiuli had already entered the secret passage. She called out, "Master, please come quickly! Li Niang is scared without you!"

"Afraid? What are you afraid of?"

Qi Xingsheng was very annoyed. The escaped Cui Li, the missing Shu Ka, and the enemies who came to his door had disrupted his plans.

"Prince, those people are coming. Hurry and leave. Your subordinates will buy you some time. Please leave here!"

Qi Xingsheng hesitated. Was he really going to run away? That was too cowardly!

"How many of our people are left?"

"As soon as they entered the house, they released poisonous smoke, killing anyone they saw. They also fired many poisonous arrows and fire arrows. Most of the maids and servants were killed. Now, including the subordinates, there are only eleven left who can pick up weapons and fight those men in black."

Qi Xingsheng felt very depressed. This group of people took advantage of the night to attack him and were good at using poison. This time he suffered too much loss.

The sound of fighting coming from not far away told Qi Xingsheng that he had to leave, otherwise he would be captured.

"I'll leave first. We must not let those people find the secret passage here."

"Don't worry, my lord. We will protect your safety till our death!"

Qi Xingsheng bowed to his loyal subordinate, then jumped down the secret passage and closed the entrance.
