Rebirth of the Phoenix Princess novel Chapter 1025

After the secret guards went down the secret passage, Luo Qingyan followed them behind. As the secret passage was dug in a hurry, the surrounding walls were a little uneven. With a touch of his hand, some scattered soil fell down, and some places were muddy or even full of water.

In order to prevent the people in the passage from suffocating, they dug some holes leading to the ground in some secret places. The secret guards in front and behind held torches in their hands, and no one spoke on the way. They were walking quietly and orderly.

Just as Luo Qingyan had said, the camp of the State of Yelang was not far from the Lingxi City. But with that mountain as a barrier, Cangjue Qingsu had nothing to fear.

After walking for about two hours, Luo Qingyan and the secret guards arrived at the exit. The secret guards extinguished the torches in their hands and carefully poked their heads out. The exit was surrounded by weeds, and no one was around. The secret guards went up to the ground one by one. Only two people were left to protect Luo Qingyan in the secret passage.

Not far from the exit of the secret passage, there were tents one after another. Outside the tents, the torches lit up the entire camp. The secret guards sent each other a secret signal, after which they used Qinggong to dodge the patrolling soldiers and find their spy hidden in the army of Yelang.

The spy quickly led the secret guards to the camp where Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling were locked up. The outside of the camp was heavily guarded. Eight soldiers were guarding there, and a group of soldiers patrolled around every fifteen minutes.

He led the secret guards over and talked to the soldier for a while in the language of the State of Yelang. The soldier looked at the secret guards for a few times before he nodded, took out the key and opened the door.

The spy led the secret guards into the camp. The light was still on in the camp. Xia Huanyu was reading a book, and Hua Ling was copying Buddhist scriptures. She looked a little relaxed, as if she was not imprisoned here.

Seeing that someone came in, Xia Huanyu frowned and looked a little unhappy, "It's so late. Who allows you to come in?"

The spy turned around and looked at the soldiers outside the tent. He snorted coldly, "Our king wants to question you two. Come with us."

Hearing that, Xia Huanyu's hand holding the book paused for a moment. He raised his head and looked at the secret guard behind him. After a moment of silence, he lowered his eyes and put the book aside. Then he looked up at Hua Ling and said, "Ling'er, let's go."

Hua Ling nodded and put down the pen. When she walked out of the desk, Xia Huanyu reminded her in a low voice, "Take your Buddha beads with you."

Hearing this, Hua Ling was slightly stunned, but she didn't say anything. She turned around and took the Buddha beads, and then walked out of the camp together with Xia Huanyu.

There were soldiers patrolling around, and all of them were on their guard. When they walked to the back of a camp close to the edge, the spy breathed a sigh of relief and pointed to the distance. "That's where you came just now..." But before he finished speaking, someone shouted, "Stop!"

The expressions on everyone's face changed a little. The secret guards secretly clenched the swords on their waists. The spy quickly stepped forward, pushing the soldier of the State of Yelang who came over not far away. They talked to each other in the language of the State of Yelang. The spy looked a little unhappy, and glanced at the person with a bit of contempt.

After quite a while, the man cupped his hands and left in a hurry. Seeing this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They hurriedly pulled Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling towards the exit of the secret tunnel.

After carefully observing where they were, the spy turned around and walked out of the tent with a torch in his hand. He then ran in the opposite direction and threw the torch away violently which lit the tent at once. The fire was getting stronger and stronger. The spy shouted, Tire! Fire alarm!"

All of a sudden, the whole camp became lively. From the largest tent in the middle of the camp, Cangjue Qingsu walked out, cursing.

"Where is the fire?" Cangjue Qingsu asked loudly.

Someone replied in a hurry, "King, it's the barn. The barn is on fire."

Cangjue Qingsu cursed again and hurriedly said, "Go and fetch some water. If our food is burnt out, we'll all be hungry."

The camp of Yelang was in chaos, but Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling had already gone into the dark tunnel. Luo Qingyan held a torch in his hand and looked at them two quietly. Then he turned around and walked back silently. The secret guards protected Xia Huanyu and Hua Ling while following them closely. The road was rugged and muddy, and it was a little difficult for Hua Ling to walk. As if knowing what was going on behind, Luo Qingyan slowed down.

When they returned to the Chengshou Mansion, it was already dawn. As soon as Luo Qingyan went out of the secret passage, he asked in a hurry, "Has the Empress come back?"

The secret guard standing aside answered, "Her majesty returned an hour ago."

Luo Qingyan nodded slightly and walked outside. He ordered casually, "Seal the tunnel and find a yard to settle the people who just came back."

Before he finished speaking, he had already walked out of the room.

When Luo Qingyan returned to his room, Yun Shang had already fallen asleep, with Bao'er sleeping in her arms. Luo Qingyan gazed at Yun Shang, with a smile at the corners of his mouth. He stood by the bed for a long time before he went out and gently ordered Pei Lan to bring water for him to take a bath and brush his teeth.

Later, Luo Qingyan lay down on the bed and fell asleep next to Yun Shang.

When Yun Shang woke up, Luo Qingyan was reading a book behind the desk. Yun Shang rubbed her eyes with a confused look. She touched the position beside her and found that Bao'er was no longer on the bed. Yun Shang kept silent for a long time before she asked, "Where is Bao'er?"
