Chapter 293

Mi Hong Lian was not unfamiliar with the figure appearing before her. Because of Hong Hong Lian, she had seen him several times and had long heard of him from her father. Her father had even vaguely hinted that she should get close to him after knowing she had encountered him.

That day, she even delivered a letter to him on behalf of her father.

But since that letter, she had never seen Su Xuan again.

"Mr. Su..."

Upon seeing Su Xuan, Mi Hong Lian's expression became extremely complex.

Su Xuan ignored Mi Hong Lian's greeting, his expression indifferent, "Miss Mi Hong Lian hasn't answered my question yet. Where are you planning to go?"

"I..."

Mi Hong Lian's expression stalled. She turned her head to look at the corpses lying beside the carriage, and a sense of fear suddenly arose in her heart. The Su Xuan before her had become extremely unfamiliar.

Or rather, she had never truly approached Su Xuan, never seen his true face.

The Su Xuan before her might be his true face!

"Miss Mi Hong Lian has met with an accident!"

In Xianyang, Tian Guang ran to Lord Lord Changping in a hurry. As soon as he reached him, he delivered the bad news.

"Hong Lian'er..." Hearing this bad news, Lord Lord Changping's body swayed, then he looked at Tian Guang, his voice inevitably becoming somewhat cold, "What exactly happened?"

"For the safety of Miss Mi Hong Lian, after I sent people to escort her out of Xianyang, I sent another group to follow behind to prevent any accidents. As a result, the subsequent group only found an empty carriage and many corpses beside it. Miss Mi Hong Lian's whereabouts are unknown..."

Tian Guang explained the whole story.

The more Lord Lord Changping heard, the more he felt that someone had been targeting Mi Hong Lian for a long time.

Although it was possible that the people Tian Guang sent were killed and Mi Hong Lian went missing due to bandits, one had to consider the location. Mi Hong Lian went missing near Xianyang, within the borders of Qin.

Qin had extremely strict management of bandits and the like.

It was impossible for Mi Hong Lian to encounter bandits here.

"Who exactly... took action against Hong Lian'er?"

Lord Lord Changping's voice was low, and he guessed secretly. A figure gradually flashed through his mind.

"Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

He could not help but think of Su Xuan.

A few days ago, Su Xuan invited him to meet at the Wei River and gave him the relics of the six great elders.

As a result, a few days later, he had Tian Guang send people to escort Mi Hong Lian out of Xianyang, and as soon as she left, she met with an accident and went missing.

Lord Lord Changping felt he had to see Su Xuan again.

Not for anything else, but for his daughter, Mi Hong Lian.

Su Xuan soon received Lord Lord Changping's letter. This time, the person delivering the letter was not Mi Hong Lian; there was no help for it, as Mi Hong Lian had become his prisoner.

Unknowingly, Su Xuan and Lord Lord Changping had vaguely become pen pals.

Including this letter, they had exchanged several.

If nothing unexpected happened, this letter should be the last one Lord Lord Changping sent to Su Xuan.

"You are quite clever, guessing it was me so quickly!"

After seeing the contents of the letter, Su Xuan could not help but sigh.

Then, he went straight to the Zhangtai Palace.

Earlier, upon learning that Lord Lord Changping had ordered people to ambush Su Xuan, Ying Zheng was prepared to take action against him. When the Nanyang rebellion broke out and Lord Lord Changping requested to go quell it, Ying Zheng's "Not permitted" had actually released some signals.

Now, with Lord Lord Changping sending his daughter out of Xianyang, it meant that Lord Lord Changping also realized the severity of the situation and decided to flee.

So, it was time to close the net.

In the Zhangtai Palace, Su Xuan and Ying Zheng talked a lot.

After Su Xuan left the Zhangtai Palace, he sent a reply to Lord Lord Changping.

When Lord Lord Changping received Su Xuan's reply and saw the contents, he was stunned, because the place Su Xuan invited him to meet this time was not by the Wei River, but in Xianyang, at Su Xuan's residence.

Su Xuan invited him to meet in Xianyang.

This caused Lord Lord Changping to have some guesses, but ultimately, he kept the appointment.

Because since Su Xuan replied, it proved that the one who took action against Mi Hong Lian was indeed him!

For his daughter, he had to make this trip.

Moreover, Xianyang was not a terrifying place.

His residence was not far from Su Xuan's, just a few steps away.

Of course, for safety, this time, Tian Guang accompanied him.

"Where is Hong Lian'er?"

Taking Tian Guang and stepping into Su Xuan's residence, Lord Lord Changping asked Su Xuan coldly.

Su Xuan heard the concern in Lord Lord Changping's words and could not help but sigh, "You are quite concerned about your daughter!"

Lord Lord Changping said coldly, "If you have any issues, just come at me. Hong Lian'er is innocent. Where is she?"

Su Xuan said indifferently, "Lord Lord Changping, rest assured, Miss Mi Hong Lian is fine. As for yourself, you are already unable to protect yourself."

Lord Lord Changping raised his eyebrows, and Tian Guang, who was following him, also had a stern expression.

"What do you mean by that?"

Lord Lord Changping asked Su Xuan.

Su Xuan said, "I have no other meaning, I just want to tell you one thing."

"Many things you thought were seamless were actually full of holes. The things you did were not as hidden as you imagined!"

This sentence contained many meanings.

Hearing this, Lord Lord Changping could not help but associate it in his mind.

Long ago, he had been terrified, worried that the things he did would be exposed, but because no changes occurred for a long time, he eventually became at ease, thinking the situation was fine and had not been exposed.

But now, after Su Xuan's words, he realized that things seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

Su Xuan spoke again, "Before I take you to see Miss Mi Hong Lian, I want to take you to see a few more people!"

"What people?"

"As for what people, you will know when you see them."

Su Xuan kept him in suspense, but it was precisely because of this that Lord Lord Changping felt the severity of the situation even more.

Following that, Su Xuan led the way to the backyard of the residence, into a room.

Stepping into the room, Lord Lord Changping and Tian Guang first saw two people who were tied up and in a state of unconsciousness.

Upon seeing these two, Lord Lord Changping's expression changed drastically.

Su Xuan stated their names, "The older one is called Xiang Yan, and the younger one is called Xiang Chao. They are a father and son. Lord Lord Changping must be very familiar with these two!"
