After leaving the gate, Xia Hongming looked back and remembered the name of this place.
Dizang Manor.
When they left the city, Xia Hongming looked at the city gate again and remembered this place.
Jiufang City.
Xia Hongming had mixed feelings. He had actually escaped so far to be safe. This journey must not have been easy. He would definitely remember this favor.
After putting down the curtain of the carriage, Xia Hongming sat down. He looked at Liu Sanniang and said, “Miss Liu, are you confident that I can take back my identity?”
Xia Hongming’s heart was heavy. The only person who could prove his identity now was his mother.
At the thought that he had been swapped without anyone knowing, Xia Hongming felt sad.
He wanted to fight for the throne. There were many princes who had died prematurely. When they finally grew up, they had to be wary of everyone around him.
He did not want to be like the Second Prince who was seriously ill all year round.
The Fourth Prince was smart, but he did not even return to the palace and the emperor had already pretended that he didn’t have this son.
The Fifth Prince was ignorant and incompetent, like a fool. He, the third prince, was now the greatest threat. Now, the Empress had started to deal with him.
Xia Hongming was nervous.
He looked at Liu Sanniang with hope in his eyes.
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “Third Prince, are you scared?”
Xia Hongming nodded. “I’m scared, but there’s nothing I can do. Miss Liu, my mother must have told you everything. Even if I’m scared, I still have to do it. Ths dynasty has been established for hundreds of years. I can’t someone evil snatch it away, right?”
Liu Sanniang said, “I’ll do my best to expose the imposter.”
No matter what the purpose of the empress doing this was, she was destined to be on the opposite side of Liu Sanniang.
Xia Hongming said gratefully, “Thank you, Miss Liu.”
Xia Hongming felt that he had never understood Liu Sanniang, but now he felt that he understood her a little.
However, he was still puzzled. There were so many evils in the world. Could Liu Sanniang eliminate them all alone? There were so many sects in the righteous path, but why did they seem to be useless?
When he looked over, he accidentally saw Chu Yan’s cold gaze. He closed his eyes to reduce his presence.
Xia Hongming felt that Chu Yan was too possessive. He wasn’t even allowed to say a word to Liu Sanniang.
In fact, at this point, most people were in awe of Liu Sanniang. They didn’t dare to have any feelings for her.
Along the way, other than resting, they did not stop.
When they arrived outside the capital, Liu Sanniang and Chu Yan met the assassination crew for the first time.
There were dozens of them. Xia Hongming was terrified. His martial arts was not good. He might be able to defeat one or two ordinary people, but he could not even withstand a single move from a well-trained assassin.
Chu Yan held a wooden stick and swung it down. One could hear the sound of bones breaking.
Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan were not to be trifled with.
After Hu Yu’s claws slashed down, it was dripping with blood.
Liu Yuanyuan took a whip. Every whip was aimed at the head. The sound of the spine breaking made people shiver.
Xia Hongming sat in the carriage and was a little worried. “Miss Liu, are we really not going out to help?”
Liu Sanniang shook her head. “No need.”
At this moment, a hand suddenly reached into the carriage. Xia Hongming was shocked when he saw that Liu Sanniang had already grabbed that person’s hand. Then, he witnessed an unbelievable scene.
The assassin with cold eyes was instantly defeated. He wanted to break free from Liu Sanniang’s grip. When Liu Sanniang let go of him, he had already fallen from the carriage as if he had no bones.
Soon, Chu Yan, Hu Yu, and Liu Yuanyuan returned.
Since the assassins had been dealt with, they could continue returning to the capital.
After entering the city gate, Xia Hongming was a little worried. “Miss Liu, when can I see my mother?”
Liu Sanniang said, “I’ll send you to the palace immediately.”
Xia Hongming heaved a sigh of relief. It was best for him to enter the palace as soon as possible and get his mother to quickly prove his identity.
A few imperial guards were quickly approaching. The commoners all retreated to the side. Xia Hongming frowned and said, “Miss Liu, why do these imperial guards seem to be coming for us?”
They came aggressively and were definitely up to no good.
“Hurry up and capture these demons!”
The guard on the lead roared and rushed over. The imperial guards had already surrounded Liu Sanniang and the others. Xia Hongming looked at the guard in the lead and frowned. “Aren’t those my men? Who gave the order?”
It was obvious who gave the order. Xia Hongming was furious.
The leader was his subordinate, Jiang Wei, but Jiang Wei did not know that the real Third Prince was right in front of him.
Liu Sanniang also frowned slightly. She said to Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan, “You two leave first.”
Hu Yu and Liu Yuanyuan did not say anything else and instantly disappeared on the spot.
Jiang Wei was so frightened that he tightened his grip on the reins. The horse neighed nervously on the spot. Jiang Wei looked at Liu Sanniang with a dark gaze. “Set up the formation. We can’t let this demon escape.”
The guards were very fast. Soon, a golden cage descended from the sky and instantly enveloped Liu Sanniang, Chu Yan, and Xia Hongming.
Xia Hongming shouted angrily, “Jiang Wei, how dare you arrest Miss Liu? Do you want to die? If you don’t want to live, I’ll fulfill your wish.”
Jiang Wei was stunned by this roar. He looked at Xia Hongming and his face gradually turned ashen. “Arrest them all.”
Chu Yan’s expression was calm. He gently squeezed Liu Sanniang’s palm and said, “It’s fine.”
Liu Sanniang nodded. “I know.”
Xia Hongming didn’t understand and was anxious. “Miss Liu, Mr. Chu, we’ve all been arrested. You’re not in a hurry at all. Is it because you know what to do?”
Liu Sanniang said calmly, “I will know soon.”
That meant she didn’t know yet.
Xia Hongming panicked.
Soon, a figure in red descended from the sky and landed on the ground. Her cold expression and aura made people want to kneel down to her.
Xia Qiluo looked at Liu Sanniang coldly and said, “Liu Sanniang, I told you long ago that I would catch you. You actually dared to come back. You really underestimated me. Now, you will pay the price for everything you’ve done..”
