Chapter 887 Your Life is the Antidote 1
Ying San led people to capture He Feng overnight, but they didn't expect that someone was faster than them.
The Yan people sneaked into the Imperial College under cover of darkness, intending to take He Feng away, but unexpectedly encountered Yin Jiu, who was secretly monitoring them. Several of them fled with He Feng, while several others stayed behind to fight Yin Jiu. The Imperial College was filled with the flashing of swords and the shouting of killing.
The Yan people were well-trained and coordinated, trying to break through Yin Jiu's defense and take He Feng away. However, Yin Jiu was a martial arts expert with a stern look in his eyes. He swung his sword tightly and forced the Yan people back again and again.
"We can't stay here for long, let's go!" One of the Yan people shouted and sprinkled a handful of medicine powder. Yin Jiu couldn't dodge in time and was bewitched by the powder. When he reacted, the Yan man had already climbed over the wall with He Feng.
Yin Jiu followed the trail and the two sides fought all the way from the alley outside the Imperial College to the main road.
"Hurry, our horses are ahead!" The Yan people blocked Yin Jiu's pursuit and headed towards where the horses were tied. In order to hide their whereabouts, they did not dare to tie the horses too close to the Imperial College, so it would take some time to get there now, which also gave Yin Jiu a chance to intercept.
But he was outnumbered. No matter how good Yin Jiu's martial arts were, he couldn't defeat seven or eight equally skilled warriors. He gradually lost the upper hand and was wounded.
Seeing that the other party was about to mount their horses and leave, he would definitely not be able to catch up if he let them go. Fortunately, Ying San had already led the members of the Dark Guard Battalion to pursue them. Their entry into the battle instantly reversed the situation. The Yan people gradually began to feel overwhelmed and began to panic.
Suddenly, a group of people appeared from nowhere, replaced the previous Yan people, and led He Feng out of the siege.
Yin Jiu shouted loudly and flew up, trying to catch He Feng at all costs, but a Yan man found the right moment and swung his sword, almost breaking his arm.
Ying San fought off two Yan people and immediately took out a hidden weapon and shot it at He Feng, but was blocked by a Yan person and the hidden weapon missed.
He Feng was rescued by a group of Yan people, and the dust raised by the horses' hooves did not dissipate for a long time.
It was the first time that Ying San and Yin Jiu failed in their mission. They immediately used their Qing Kung Fu to catch up with the enemy and chased for six blocks before they had to return empty-handed.
Ying San held onto the wall, gasping for breath: "What should I do? I lost him!" He hit the wall hard, and a hole appeared in it.
Yin Jiuben was injured and his arm was still bleeding: "I can only go back to the palace to report and search the whole city."
He Linzhang was woken up in the middle of the night. Ying San came back to report that a group of people had kidnapped He Feng. The city gates were under martial law and a city-wide search was underway.
He Linzhang pinched his brows and said, "It seems that Jin'an's poisoning is indeed related to him. Go and check whether that group of people are the remnants of Prince Ding's Mansion or someone else. We must catch He Feng back!" Catch him and cut him into pieces to vent the hatred of killing his son.
He Feng was woken up in a daze and was kidnapped by a group of people before he even had time to put on his clothes. He was taken to a remote yard and was still in shock.
Two familiar faces appeared among the group. They were the ones who gave him the Lost Heart Powder last time.
"You, what exactly do you want to do? Why do you want to arrest me?" He Feng gathered his clothes and said tremblingly.
The Yan man threw him a coat and said, "Put it on and don't freeze to death. You will be useful to us only if you are alive."
He Feng had no choice but to put it on trembling, but he did not forget to look around carefully at this place and these people.
"Boss, the whole city is under martial law now. How can we get out of the city?"
The man called the boss thought for a moment and said, "Once we get a response from them, we'll disguise ourselves as their men and sneak out of the city in batches."
The subordinate glanced at He Feng and said, "What about him? I just checked and his portrait has been posted at the city gate."
The boss chuckled and said, "Disguise him as an old woman. I don't believe we can't get him out."
When He Feng heard they were going to take him away, he hurriedly said, "You asked me to poison me, and I've already done it. Why are you taking me away? I can't leave. I have to stay and watch He Jin'an kill the king, and end up killing his son and his father, and then they all go to hell!"
The boss laughed heartily upon hearing this: "Do you think the Great Zhou Emperor won't find out what you did? Otherwise, who do you think were the people who stopped us from taking you away tonight? They were sent by the Great Zhou Emperor to monitor you. To be honest with you, poisoning is only the first step. The greatest danger of this Losing Mind Powder is that if the poisoner doesn't die, even if they find an antidote, it will be useless because the curse and purpose of the poisoner are also part of the antidote. As long as you don't die, He Jinan won't be able to detoxify you, and he'll have to think about killing the Great Zhou Emperor all the time. Even if he can't kill you, he'll suffer physical and mental torture every day, a life worse than death!"
He Feng suddenly realized that this group of people saved him because they wanted to prevent him from being captured and killed by the Emperor of the Great Zhou.
"Then... where are you taking me?" He still didn't know who sent this group of people.
"Hmph, of course we're going to Yan State." After the boss said that, he was too lazy to say another word. He took his men downstairs to rest, leaving He Feng alone sitting in the room.
After several days of waiting, the Xia Kingdom finally received a reply from the Xia King, stating that if the Great Zhou could not reach an agreement on a marriage alliance, then the Yan Kingdom's proposal could be accepted. The Xia King instructed Kang Mowan to act at his own discretion and return to Xia Kingdom as soon as possible.
Kang Mowan had signed a new three-year trade agreement with the Great Zhou. With no hope of a marriage alliance, they naturally had to leave. So they secretly reached a marriage agreement with the State of Yan, and openly proposed to bid farewell to the Emperor and Empress of the Great Zhou and leave the capital that day.
Because of He Jinan's situation, He Linzhang had no time to entertain the Xia people, so he asked the Ministry of Rites to see them off. After being unconscious for two days, Tao Yanyan finally calmed down. He heard about He Feng's escape and that the Xia Kingdom was leaving at this time, which made him feel a little strange.
"I sent people to check. All the people brought by Xia Country this time were staying in the inn. No one came out of the inn on the night He Feng was taken away, so the person who took He Feng away was not from Xia Country." He Linzhang explained while feeding her porridge.
"Since their marriage was not successful, it was only natural for them to leave at this time. I just felt that it was too coincidental that they left when He Feng disappeared, rather than earlier."
"I think that group of people should be a third-party force. It was them who supported He Feng behind the scenes and asked him to poison him. Otherwise, how could He Feng have the poison of the Lost Mind Powder when he was in the Imperial College. But I am puzzled. Their purpose of poisoning has been achieved, so why did they take He Feng, a chess piece, away? Could it be that they were the subordinates of Prince Ding before and wanted to follow the young master?" He Linzhang frowned. The remnants of Prince Ding's Mansion were all captured by Qi Yizheng and his men. The identity of this group of people was really suspicious.
"I didn't expect that the Dingwang Mansion would leave behind such a big disaster. At the beginning, considering that he was a descendant of the He family and had not committed a capital crime, His Majesty was kind and spared him. Now it seems that he was really merciful." Tao Yanyan's heart ached when he thought of He Jinan's painful appearance. He couldn't suppress his hatred for He Feng and the Dingwang Mansion.
