Kapitel 1013: 481 Save Him (Part 1)

Gu Jiao and Gu Chengfeng embarked on a journey northward together, while Yuan Tang, stuck in the Capital City, was not so fortunate. He could neither obtain the imperial edict from the Emperor of Zhan Country nor take the secret passage at the north city gate. Several attempts to sneak out of the city with merchant caravans had all ended in failure.

As the frontier warfare escalated, more and more bad news reached the court, and the Emperor's indignation towards Yuan Tang grew increasingly intense. A few days ago, even the elite guards of the Imperial Palace were ordered by the Emperor to capture Yuan Tang.

Just last night, Yuan Tang encountered three waves of these elite guards, causing him to lose contact with his subordinates. As dawn was about to break, he finally fought his way out of the encirclement, but he also paid a heavy price.

His right arm was slashed. If he encountered the elite guards again, he couldn't guarantee that he would be lucky enough to escape.
