Chapter 388 The Imperial Concubine is Pure and Elegant (One Hundred and Thirty-Seven)
By daybreak, Ji Mingjie still hadn't seen Wu Meng and the others return. He pushed open the door and said to Mo Shi, who was waiting outside, "Wu Meng hasn't returned yet. We can't wait any longer. Mo Shi, gather the men. We need to leave Daliang immediately."
"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."
Mosh immediately went to prepare.
The morning light is faint, the sun rises, and the morning glow covers the earth.
Ji Mingjie received bad news before he left Liangdu.
Now the streets and alleys are full of wanted posters, looking for the killer's accomplices from Ji State who sneaked into the palace last night to assassinate the emperor.
"Your Highness, the soldiers are searching every house. The city gates are under martial law. Only entry is allowed, not exit. We can't go out now."
Ji Mingjie was so angry that he became violent and cursed the Emperor of Daliang several times. He only calmed down after being persuaded by Moshi.
The city was full of people whispering about the killer from the enemy country, and every time Ji Mingjie heard it, he would sulk.
After they hid for three days and evaded several searches, Emperor Liang finally withdrew his pursuit and traffic was restored at the city gate.
Too many people have been stranded in the city for three days. When the city gates open tomorrow, there will definitely be a huge crowd.
Ji Mingjie planned to follow the crowd out of the city gate early the next morning, otherwise something might happen.
However, one person broke Ji Mingjie's deployment.
Wu Meng, who everyone thought was dead, stumbled and knocked on a door in the middle of the night.
Wu Meng’s ability to escape is truly amazing.
The knocks on the door continued, and the concierge had no choice but to open it. He found a disheveled beggar standing before him. A strong stench hit him in the face. He waved his hand and drove him away, saying, "Where did you come from, beggar? Go away, leave now, or I'll beat you up."
"It's me, Wu Meng."
"I don't care who you are! Wu Meng, are you General Wu? You're still alive!"
"To save the princess, princess..."
"General Wu, wake up!"
The doorman looked around and found no one, so he quickly dragged Wu Meng into the yard.
This is a resting place for Ji State's spies.
"Hurry up and inform the prince that General Wu is still alive."
Ji Mingjie, who received the news, naturally would not leave at this moment.
At dawn, Prince Ji Mingjie quietly came here.
"how is he?"
"Reporting to His Royal Highness, General Wu was seriously injured. It is a miracle that he is still alive. He needs to stay in bed for three months."
"So when will he wake up?"
The doctor thought for a moment and gave his answer: "General Wu is strong and healthy, and has a strong ability to heal himself. After taking the medicine, he should wake up after noon."
Ji Mingjie knew that Wu Meng was a medicine man. He had taken many strange medicines since he was a child, which is why he became so powerful now. His self-healing ability was indeed very strong.
"Then I'll just wait for him to wake up."
The moment Wu Meng opened his eyes, the guarding servant informed the prince.
"Prince, I have betrayed your trust, Princess..."
Ji Mingjie dismissed his attendants, closed the door, and said in a cold voice, "What exactly happened? Tell me one by one."
Wu Meng propped himself up and sat up, saying dejectedly, "I had already rescued the princess, but Emperor Liang's Imperial Guards and Black Armor Guards arrived quickly and took the princess away. Seeing that all my men were dead and I was seriously injured, I..."
Mosh looked at the tightly closed door. He really didn't expect that Wu Meng was so lucky that he escaped the pursuit twice. But he was a little confused. If Wu Meng had escaped, why was there no mention of the escaped Wu Meng in the notice a few days ago?
"Wu Meng, take good care of your injuries. Having survived a great disaster, you will surely have good fortune in the future. I've left you a group of capable people, and the rest of the matter is up to you."
Wu Meng said in a deep voice, "Your Highness, please be careful on your journey. Wu Meng will stay in Liang State and will definitely find a way to rescue the princess."
Ji Mingjie shook his head and sighed, "The important task I'm entrusting you with now is no longer to rescue the imperial sister from prison. You have more important things to do. Most of the people I've left behind have been hiding in Liang for several years or even more than ten years. They can't be easily exposed. You must think twice before you act."
Wu Meng was somewhat unwilling to accept the Crown Prince's order. His Highness was abandoning the Young Clan Leader. He gritted his teeth and said, "Yes, Wu Meng will be careful with his words and actions. Take care, Your Highness."
"Take care, General Wu."
As soon as Ji Mingjie left the house, he asked someone to take good care of Wu Meng.
"Mosh, we'll set off immediately."
