Chapter 1782: Escape

Just about to ask what she had dreamed of, there was a sudden rush of footsteps outside, and I heard Xiao Shunzi’s voice ringing outside the carriage
"emperor!"
When Zhu Feng heard this, he immediately turned around and faced the car door: "What's the matter?"
Xiao Shunzi stood outside the carriage, panting and said, "The emperor, a sand bandit has escaped."
"Oh……"
The two people in the carriage looked at each other.
There was only silence for a while, Xiao Shunzi saw the door open and Zhu Feng jumped off the carriage, but he didn’t rush over in a hurry. Instead, he turned around and reached out to hold Nan Yan’s hand. She also picked it up from the carriage.
Nan Yan cautiously stepped on the ground.
Xiao Shunzi immediately stepped forward and saluted: "The slave and maidservant pays respects to the emperor, and to the concubine and empress."
Zhu Feng held Nan Yan's hand in one hand, then turned to Xiao Shunzi and said, "Where?"
"Just ahead."
"Go, let's go and see."
"Yes."
So Zhu Feng took Nan Yan and followed Xiao Shunzi to the place where they detained the sand bandits. In fact, it was a clearing not far from the carriage. The sand bandits captured last night were sitting here with their hands tied back.
But at this moment, one of these bandits is missing.
Nan Yan followed Zhu Feng and saw a fairly familiar figure from a distance. He was killed here with Zhu Feng last night. It was not someone else, but Fang Buyuan, one of the four commanders of Jin Yiwei.
He stood there, still holding something in his hand, thinking about something, turned his head and saw Zhu Feng arrived, and immediately bowed down to them.
"Weichen pays respects to the emperor, and to the noble concubine."
Zhu Feng only raised his hand and motioned for him to get up.
"Xie Emperor."
"Here, what's the matter?"
"The emperor, a sand bandit took advantage of the night to escape last night."
"How did he escape? Isn't he tied up?"
Fang Buyuan frowned and said, "Yes, but he still seems to have a sharp weapon on him. When they searched the body last night, they couldn't find it."
"..."
"He just used that sharp tool to cut the rope, and when the guards on patrol changed shifts, he took the opportunity to escape."
With that, he offered what was in his hand.
Zhu Feng took it over. It was just a few knots of rope. Zhu Feng looked at the place where his head was severed, and it really was slowly cut by a sharp weapon.
Looked at the surrounding sand bandits who were in shock and worried that the emperor would kill them all in a rage because someone had fled. These people knelt on the ground in panic and repeatedly kowtow to the emperor for mercy.
"The emperor spares his life, the emperor spares his life."
"Your Majesty, don't kill us!"
"We are willing to abandon the dark and cast the light to serve the emperor."
Zhu Feng only looked at them coldly, and then said, "Who knows what is the name of the person who ran away last night?"
A sand bandit hurriedly said: "That person is called Ji Tong, who is our confidant."
"Ji Tong."
Zhu Feng recited the name silently, and then said, "The confidant of the big master is Wulun's right and left hand?"
"Exactly, he was originally with Ah Ling, leading us this time."
"..."
"Now he has escaped, I'm afraid he has already gone back."
Zhu Feng listened quietly. After a while, he only said lightly: "Okay, I see."
After speaking, he turned and walked back.
Xiao Shunzi followed behind him and said with some worry: "The emperor, the one named Ji Tong fled back, and he will surely pass the news from us to Reyuewan."
