Chapter 247 - 247 Believe It or Not!



In his plans, Du Tao would enter the secret passage and drag the corpses out. He would fake the fact that Duke Lang and Prince Min had conspired to kill Tang Pei. That way, he could perfectly remove himself from this matter.

He had calculated everything, but he had not expected an accident at this time. The courtyard door kept shaking. It looked like if he didn’t open it, it would be broken.

Du Tao suppressed his anger and spoke in a low voice.

“Open the door!”

He wanted to see who was so bold to come looking for trouble!

The courtyard door was pulled open.

Du Tao strode out and said to Shen Xu.

“I don’t have your concubine here. You’re in the wrong place.”

Shen Xu did not believe him.

He pointed at Du Tao and shouted.

“It’s you! I saw you hugging my Cui’er with my own eyes. You must have hooked up with her long ago, you adulterous couple!”

The onlookers looked at Du Tao and discussed softly.

“I didn’t expect this person to be an adulterer who likes to seduce married women.”

“A shameless man like him should be drowned in a pig cage with that flirtatious woman!”

“The person in question has already come knocking on his door, but he still refuses to admit it. He’s too cowardly!”

“That’s right! If he’s a man, he should dare to take responsibility!”

….

Du Tao heard the discussion clearly.

His face turned green with anger, and his temples throbbed.

“I’ll say it one last time. I don’t know a woman named Cui’er. I’ve never hooked up with a married woman, and I’ve never had a woman here!”

Shen Xu immediately said, “I don’t believe your nonsense! Unless you can let us in to search!”

Du Tao said in a low voice, “This is my house. Why should you search it? Who do you think you are?”

Shen Xu pointed at him and shouted.

“Look, look! You’re guilty! You don’t even dare to let us in to take a look. You must have hidden my Cui’er. You shameless bastard. If I don’t see Cui’er today, I won’t leave!”

Du Tao felt that this person was really unreasonable.

“Believe it or not!”

After saying this, Du Tao turned around and prepared to leave.

Shen Xu immediately reached out to grab his sleeve. “Don’t even think about running! You seduced a married woman. If you don’t give me an explanation today, don’t even think about leaving this place!”

Du Tao waved his hand away. “Get lost!”

Shen Xu fell to the ground.

He immediately howled at the top of his lungs.

“This is bad! Not only did this person seduce a married woman, but he also hit me! Is there no law?”

The crowd gathered around and condemned Du Tao.

Du Tao couldn’t get away from the crowd.

At the same time, with everyone’s attention on Shen Xu and Du Tao, Lo Pingsha led Yu Niaoniao and Dang Gui over the wall and sneaked into the small courtyard.

Dang Gui remembered the layout of the house very well. She quickly found the mechanism and opened the entrance to the secret passage.

The three of them entered the secret passage before its entrance closed quietly.

Although the secret passage was dark, Dang Gui remembered a lantern near the entrance. She fumbled for the lantern and lit it with the torch she carried. The three of them walked forward with the lantern.

During this period, they passed through several forks. Fortunately, Dang Gui was in charge of leading the way, so they did not have to worry about getting lost.

After some time, they realized that a little light had appeared ahead and the three of them immediately stopped.

Lo Pingsha walked to the front, one hand on the hilt of the knife hanging from his waist, and slowly approached the spot of light.

As he approached, he saw figures moving near the light.

Just as he looked over, a bright blade slashed at him!

His heart tightened as he hurriedly retreated and dodged. At the same time, he pulled out the saber at his waist to block the approaching blade.

The blades collided with a crisp sound.

Then the two of them exchanged a few more moves.

However, because the space in the secret passage was limited and it was not convenient to use their fists and feet, the two of them were a little restrained.

Soon, Lo Pingsha was at a disadvantage and was forced back.

His back hit the wall, unable to retreat.

Seeing that the other party’s blade was about to land on him, Yu Niaoniao exclaimed.

“No!”

Hearing this familiar voice, Xiao Juan immediately activated his internal energy and forcefully twisted his saber. The blade of his saber turned abruptly in midair and landed somewhere else.

Xiao Juan shouted.

...

At this moment, Lo Pingsha recognized the other party and heaved a long sigh of relief.

Yu Niaoniao was pleasantly surprised.

She quickly ran towards Xiao Juan.

“Your Highness, we’ve finally found you!”

Xiao Juan was afraid that the No Return Saber would hurt her, so he quickly sheathed the saber. Then, he hugged her waist with one hand and looked down at her.

“Didn’t I tell you to stay in Wangsong City? Why didn’t you listen to me?”

Yu Niaoniao hugged him tightly. “I was worried about you and afraid that something would happen to you, so I pestered Little Lo to bring me to you. Fortunately, we came. Otherwise, you would have been trapped here for who knows how long!”

With that, she raised her chin. She looked quite proud.

It was indeed as she said. Xiao Juan could not blame her.

He continued, “How did you find this place?”

Yu Niaoniao said, “It’s a long story…”

...

She skipped the unimportant details and went to the point. She quickly explained how she had found this place.

Xiao Juan was very surprised. He did suspect that Tang Pei’s daughter was not dead, but he did not expect Dang Gui to be Tang Guixi!

This was too much of a coincidence. If it hadn’t happened around him, he would have wondered if this was a legend told by the folk storyteller.

Prince Min ran over and said happily.

“So it’s you! That’s great. Take us out!”

Yu Niaoniao told him to calm down.

“There’s no hurry about getting out. We have other things to do.”

At this moment, Dang Gui walked to their side with the lantern. With a mixture of anticipation and apprehension, she asked carefully, “Your Highness, did you see my father in the military camp? Is he okay now?”

Xiao Juan did not know how to answer.

Prince Min did not have so many concerns and blurted out, “General Tang is dead!”

Dang Gui felt as if she had been struck by lightning. She was stunned on the spot. Her head buzzed, and her unhealed wound stung.

It was a long time before she spoke.

“That’s impossible.”

Her father had promised to wait for her return.

He couldn’t be dead!

Prince Min pointed to the body lying on the ground nearby.

“Your father is there. If you don’t believe me, go see for yourself.”

Dang Gui staggered over.
