Chapter 432: The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Eighty-two)

After Qi Xingsheng left, the remaining prince's guards all knew that they might die in this foreign country today.

After being surrounded by the men in black who broke into the house, these guards realized that they were outnumbered and the enemy was insidious and cunning. In this situation, if they did not have reinforcements, they would have no way out.

They could only fight to the death to buy more time for Qi Xingsheng to leave, hoping that their master could escape safely and make their death seem useful, so they fought more fiercely.

Wu Meng stood at the back, watching these people struggling to survive, and ordered: "Quickly kill them, leaving one alive. Someone must have escaped through the secret passage."

Wu Meng's men smeared poison on their weapons and sprinkled some poison powder from time to time. For the Qi people who had no antidote, they were too weak. Before they died, they cursed "despicable and shameless" and "villainous behavior."

Wu Meng laughed and stepped on the last man's head, crushing his shoe hard on his flesh. He immediately bled profusely. "Tell me, where did your master escape from? Where is Liang Guo's Imperial Noble Consort Cui Li? Where is the secret passage?"

"You want to know the whereabouts of my master? Dream on! You are a despicable and treacherous villain. You will not live a good death!"

After saying this, the man bit open the poison sac hidden in his mouth and died instantly.

Wu Meng kicked the corpse into the fire and sneered, "Do you really think that if you die, I won't be able to find you?"

"It must be nearby. Search for me!"

"Yes!"

No matter how secret the secret passage was, it could not withstand the spirit butterflies of the Wu clan who were looking for people. Based on the scent of Yuan Qiuli's clothes in the main courtyard, Wu Meng quickly led his men to open the secret passage and chased into the secret passage.

Just a quarter of an hour after Wu Meng entered the secret passage, another force arrived and eliminated the Ji people guarding the house.

"Who are you?"

The five people guarding the entrance to the secret passage had just reacted and raised their swords to fight the enemy when they turned into ghosts.

"Your Majesty, we arrived a little too late and didn't find the Queen. Also, Wu Meng is not here. He must have gone after the Queen through the secret passage."

Liang Sheng nodded, asked the soldiers and secret guards to search the area, and led his men to chase through the secret passage.

In the pitch-black night, even the moon did not peek out. Yuan Qiuli was being carried by a woman to escape. The woman did not step firmly and almost dropped Yuan Qiuli off her back, causing Yuan Qiuli to slap her and curse at her.

"Keep your voice down. Are you trying to attract those men in black?"

Yuan Qiuli felt aggrieved after being scolded by Qi Xingsheng, but she did not dare to refute him, for fear that Qi Xingsheng would abandon her and run for his life.

"My Lord, where can we escape to?"

"Let's flee to the mountains. The mountains are high and the forests are dense. Once we get into the mountains, it will be difficult for them to find us in the dark, and we still have a chance to survive."

Yuan Qiuli was feeling very uneasy, always feeling that she was going to die. She tried to comfort herself in her heart, but still couldn't relieve the fear. She looked back unconsciously, but was so scared that she screamed and then covered her mouth.

When Qi Xingsheng was about to scold her, he pointed his finger behind him with trembling hands.

When Qi Xingsheng saw a dozen torches behind him, he immediately fell silent and signaled to escape to another path.

He prayed to God for help, but this time their luck was really bad. They were discovered and caught!

Yuan Qiuli hid behind Qi Xingsheng, clutching his robe tightly, not daring to look at the two dead servants.

"You are from Ji country!"

Qi Xingsheng looked at Wu Meng and said affirmatively.

Wu Meng smiled and whistled roughly. "I am General Wu Meng of the Ji State. You Qi people are so calculating. You snatched away the Royal Concubine of the Liang State, but made us Ji people bear the wrath of the Liang Emperor, and caused many of my men to die. Tell me, do you deserve to die?"

"I am Qi Xingsheng, the crown prince of Qi, and a close confidant of the king. If you kill me, it will be of no benefit to your Ji Kingdom."

"I, the general, don't care who you are! I, Wu Meng, am a rough man. I don't understand nor want to understand the politics of the court. You saved the traitor Shuka, so you are my enemy. You and Shuka both deserve to die. As for the woman behind you... Imperial Noble Consort, you'd better come here quickly. I, Wu Meng, promise that I will never hurt you!"

Yuan Qiuli was standing behind Qi Xingsheng. When she heard Wu Meng's words, she knew that these people wanted to kill Qi Xingsheng and mistook her for Imperial Concubine Cui Li, so they didn't want to kill her for the time being.

She poked half of her head out from behind and asked, "Are you really not going to kill me?"
