Shangguan Han looked at Song Jingchen for help.

Song Jingchen clenched his fists. He Imew that Ji Yunxi was telling the truth.

“Let them through,” he instructed in a low voice.

“Young Master Song is indeed a sensible person.” With that, Ji Yunxi turned around and helped Shangguan Yu up. She took the opportunity to check his pulse, and her expression instantly turned cold. “Prepare another carriage and two horses for us.”

Song Jingchen instructed someone to do it. Soon, the things she wanted were ready.

A woman went forward and checked the carriage and horse. After confirming that there was no problem, Ji Yunxi got someone to help Shangguan Yu into the carriage.

“Let go of my mother quickly,” Shangguan Han said angrily.

“Since it’s a deal, I’ll naturally let her go, but not now,” Ji Yunxi said indifferently.

Shangguan Han’s expression changed.

Ji Yunxi pushed Song Li into the carriage and got in herself.

“Ten miles away from the city. Go there and pick her up in an hour. Don’t try to play tricks on me. Otherwise, I can’t guarantee that you won’t see a corpse.”

After the carriage drove for a distance, the box containing a Heart-Devouring Herb was thrown out. Then, Ji Yunxi’s voice sounded again.

“I forgot to mention that the ancestor of the Lin family was a traitor who escaped from our valley. I’ll take the siblings away. Since you’re looking for the Heart Devouring Grass, I think you’ll be able to see them soon.”

Shen Yijia was shocked. She suddenly remembered that when she first met Lin Shao and his sister, their family had been killed because of an incense book passed down from their ancestors.

At that moment, she and Song Jingchen thought that the dog county magistrate had taken a fancy to the Lin family’s incense-making skills. With the county magistrate’s death, they no longer took this matter to heart.

From the looks of it, the person behind the county magistrate’s collusion with the people of the Wu Kingdom was probably Shangguan Yu. It was obvious that Shangguan Yu had found the incense book for the Valley of Heavenly Secrets.

‘Men, quickly prepare the horses.”

Shangguan Han anxiously instructed someone to bring the horse over. As soon as he sat down, Song Jingchen pulled him down.

“Cousin?” Shangguan Han was stunned.

Song Jingchen got on the horse and reached out to Shen Yijia. He pulled her to sit in front of him.

“Stay in the palace and deal with the aftermath. I’ll bring Aunt back.” Song Jingchen waved his whip and left with Shen Yijia.

According to what Song Jingchen knew, the people of the Valley of Heavenly Secrets were extremely good at using poison. When facing such an opponent, numbers didn’t mean that they were useful. They might even lose their lives for nothing. This was also why Song Jingchen agreed to let them go.

After confirming the direction Ji Yunxi and the others had headed to, the two of them left the city.

He left the confused soldier and the general behind.

“It seems to be Duke Song who went out just now,” the soldier muttered to himself.

The general snapped, “I’m not blind.”

In fact, most people were still a little confused when they saw an army charging towards them aggressively.

Before they could fight, a second army appeared outside the city, led by Lord An Le.

They all thought that Lord An Le was going to rebel.

Instead, he was here to save them.

After taking down the rebels, the general tactfully expressed his gratitude and reminded Lord An Le not to bring the army into the capital without His Majesty’s decree.

However, Lord An Lets words sounded.

“Father overturned the case and cleared my name. I specially came to the capital to thank him.”

The general guarding the city wanted to ask, “Why do you need to bring tens of thousands of people to thank him? Are you sure you’re not here to force him to surrender?”

However, not only had Lord An Le saved everyone, but there were also so many soldiers around him. He only dared to think about it.

Fortunately, Lord An Le did not go overboard. He only brought 3,000 people into the palace to save the emperor. The rest of the people stayed outside the city.

Tap! Tap! Tap!

The carriage sped along the official road, stirring up dust wherever it passed.

After passing a fork in the road, an identical carriage drove out of the small path. The two carriages crossed and headed in opposite directions.

Ji Yunxi bandaged Shangguan Yu’s wound briefly and took out a porcelain bottle. She poured out a brown pill and fed it to him.

“I’m sorry. There was an accident on the way back. Yunxi came late,” she said softly.

Shangguan Yu did not ask what had happened. He reached out and lifted the curtain. He frowned and said, “Did you go the wrong way?

This road would not pass through the Ten Mile Slope.

“We didn’t go the wrong way. The general will meet you at the entrance of the waterway. When we get there, we can get on a boat and leave.” As Ji Yunxi spoke, she glanced at Song Li, who had been sitting quietly at the side since she got into the carriage. She smiled. “This woman is Yunxi’s apology gift to His Highness..”
