Chapter 471

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

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

But it was also after that letter that she had never seen Su Xuan again.

"Mr. Su…"

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

Su Xuan did not pay attention to Mi Lian's greeting; his expression was indifferent, "Miss Mi Lian has not yet answered my question. Where are you preparing to go?"

"I…"

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

Or rather, she had never walked into Su Xuan, had never seen Su Xuan's true face clearly.

The Su Xuan before her was perhaps his true face!

…

"Miss Mi Lian has met with an accident!"

In Xianyang, Tian Guang ran hurriedly to Lord Changping's place. As soon as he arrived before Lord Changping, he told him the bad news.

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

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

Tian Guang told the whole story.

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

Although Tian Guang's people were killed and Mi Lian went missing, it was possible they encountered bandits, but even if they encountered bandits, one had to look at the location. One must know that the place where Mi Lian went missing was near Xianyang, within the borders of the Qin Guo.

The Qin Guo managed thieves and such people extremely strictly.

It was impossible for Mi Lian to encounter bandits here.

"Who exactly took action against Lian'er?"

Lord Changping's voice was low, and he secretly guessed. In his mind, a figure gradually flashed by.

"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 by 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 Lian out of Xianyang, and as soon as Mi Lian left Xianyang, she met with an accident and went missing.

Lord Changping felt that he must see Su Xuan again.

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

Su Xuan soon received Lord Changping's letter. This time, the person delivering the letter was no longer Mi Lian; it couldn't be helped, Mi Lian had already become his prisoner.

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

Counting this letter, they had already sent several letters back and forth.

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

"You are quite clever, guessing so quickly that it was my doing!"

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

Afterward, he went straight to the Zhangtai Palace.

Earlier, after learning that Lord Changping had ordered people to ambush Su Xuan, Ying Zheng was prepared to take action against Lord Changping. When the rebellion broke out in Nanyang Commandery and Lord Changping requested to go and quell the rebellion, Ying Zheng "did not permit it"; that had actually released some signals.

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

So, it was time to start closing the net.

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

After Su Xuan left the Zhangtai Palace, he also gave Lord Changping a reply letter.

When Lord Changping received Su Xuan's reply and saw the content clearly, he couldn't help but be stunned, simply because the place Su Xuan invited him to meet this time was no longer by the Wei River, but in Xianyang City, in Su Xuan's residence.

Su Xuan invited him to meet in Xianyang.

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

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

For his daughter, he had to make this trip.

Moreover, Xianyang City was not a terrifying place.

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

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