Chapter 166: Chapter 88: Trip to Chongqing (9) Successfully Enter the City, Meet Pang Nan_3

"Xiao Wu," Xiao Jinxing called out to him.

"Prince," Xiao Wu replied with utmost respect.

"You go to Pang Nan’s residence now and tell Pang Nan to come here and see me," Xiao Jinxing commanded.

Xiao Wu was surprised, "Will Pang Nan come with me?"

"Bring him by force," said Xiao Jinxing bluntly.

"It will cause a commotion," Xiao Wu worried.

He feared that if a commotion was stirred up, they would be relentlessly pursued.

Now in the city, if they were truly to be pursued, escape would be impossible.

"Just tell him, if he wants to save the lives of the common people in Yuzhou City, he’d follow you," said Xiao Jinxing, "With the current situation in Yuzhou City, if Pang Nan truly wishes to rescue the people from danger, he will follow you."

"Yes," Xiao Wu quickly responded, "I’ll go right away."

Xiao Wu left swiftly.

Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing waited inside the empty house.

They couldn’t be certain that Xiao Wu would be able to bring Pang Nan back.

But it had to be said, this was the only way.

With Yuzhou City in such dire straits, any further delay would result in more deaths.

And so.

They waited for almost an hour.

The sky had already begun to brighten.

Outside, it seemed that footsteps could be heard.

Ye Qichi and Xiao Jinxing remained tense and hid themselves away.

Unsure if it was Xiao Wu returning, they dared not make any rash moves.

The door was pushed open.

Xiao Wu’s voice was not heard.

Both of them tensed up instantly.

They exchanged glances.

Could it be, Xiao Wu had met trouble?

Ye Qichi picked up a dagger, once again shielding Xiao Jinxing.

As the footsteps drew nearer.

They were unbearably tense.

Ye Qichi felt, if it went on like this a few more times without her being murdered, she’d drop dead from a heart attack anyway.

She clenched her teeth, the dagger in her hand ready to strike.

"Come out, I am Pang Nan," a stern and severe voice suddenly rang out.

Xiao Jinxing and Ye Qichi looked at each other.

"I will count to three. If you do not come out, I’ll leave immediately. Once I leave, I’ll set this house on fire," Pang Nan threatened.

Before Ye Qichi could react.

Xiao Jinxing directly walked out.

As he stepped out,

a line of soldiers quickly surrounded Xiao Jinxing, sharp swords pointing at him.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes narrowed.

He turned his head to look at Pang Nan.

A man in his thirties, with a beard framing his face, looked somewhat fierce.

He glared harshly at Xiao Jinxing.

Xiao Jinxing’s gaze shifted to Xiao Wu.

Xiao Wu was bound by ropes by Pang Nan’s men, with numerous injuries on his face and body, and at the moment, his mouth was gagged with cloth, rendering him unable to speak.

Seeing the soldiers facing Xiao Jinxing like this, Xiao Wu’s eyes turned bloodshot with agitation, twisting his body.

Xiao Jinxing’s eyes flickered, and he looked back at Pang Nan with a compelling air, "Seeing me, the Prince, why haven’t you knelt down yet!"

"Prince?" Pang Nan was unmoved, "As I know it, since the age of ten, the Chen Prince has been disabled. I wonder which Prince you are!"

"Whether or not I am truly disabled, surely Minister Pang is not ignorant of the reason?" Xiao Jinxing spoke with a touch of sarcasm.

Though Pang Nan was a local official, he naturally was aware of many matters of the court.

Princes vying for power in the court was not uncommon.

An inadvertent misstep could end in an untimely death. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

For the Chen Prince to conceal some truths for his own safety was understandable.

However,

Pang Nan still maintained his vigilance, "How can you prove that you indeed are the Chen Prince?!"

"To Minister Pang, whether he is the Chen Prince is actually not important!" Ye Qichi emerged from her hiding place.

At the sight of Ye Qichi, everyone was on guard.

Another group of soldiers hurried forward, encircling Ye Qichi, making sure she couldn’t make any rash moves.

"Minister Pang must have come here to see us not merely because of the Prince’s identity, but more importantly, Minister Pang hopes we can rescue the people of Yuzhou City," Ye Qichi clarified.

Pang Nan scrutinized Ye Qichi, seeming to size up who this woman was.

Ye Qichi responded, "I am the legitimate daughter of the Minister of Rites, the Princess Ye Qichi."

Pang Nan frowned.

Looking at Ye Qichi, who was dressed in men’s clothes, he was still not quite convinced.

"Actually, verifying our identities isn’t difficult," Ye Qichi said, "The son of Yuzhou’s Military Governor, Chen Zihuan, once attended my father’s fortieth birthday, he has seen me, he can confirm whether I am lying. However, such a method would directly expose the fact that the Prince and I have safely arrived in Yuzhou. Minister Pang must have also heard the rumor, the Military Governor does not wish for us to arrive, fearing it would disrupt his plans!"
