However, by evening, Xiaofeng still hadn't returned.

Huo Bingbing hid in the yard, pointing and counting, but she couldn't figure out what had happened to Xiaofeng. Moreover, she found that Xiaofeng's breath was very weak, as if it was getting farther and farther away from her.

This shock was so great that she quickly ran to the study to find Ye Yi and said anxiously...

"My Lord, this is bad. Xiao Feng has been captured. Go and save him."

Ye Yi looked at her in surprise and asked, "My beloved, what's wrong? What happened?"

Huo Bingbing shook her head. For a moment, she didn't know how to explain to Ye Yi. She just said that Xiaofeng had been taken away from the capital and asked him to rescue her as soon as possible.

Ye Yi also knew Xiao Feng's true identity as an ancient mythical beast. When he heard that it was taken away from the capital, he realized that the matter was serious.

So she quickly said...

"My beloved, don't worry. I will send someone to intercept them immediately."

There are only two ways to leave the capital.

One is by water.

One is by land.

As long as we send people to block these two roads for inspection, we won't be able to rescue the bird.

But then again, the bird is so awesome, who has the ability to take it away from the capital by force?

Although Ye Yi was confused, he knew that this was not the time to ask. The most urgent thing was to rescue the bird as soon as possible.

Soon, the cavalry of Prince Zhan's palace marched out of Beijing in a mighty force and blocked the two roads.

When the common people saw a large number of cavalrymen leaving the city, they were shocked and panicked, not knowing what had happened.

At this time, news came from the post station that Xia Yuanbo, the envoy of Xiasha Kingdom, had left the capital early this morning.

Ye Yi originally didn't want to care about it, but when he heard the news, a light bulb went off in his mind. Wasn't it too coincidental that the envoy from Xiasha Kingdom came and left at the same time?

He left as soon as Xiaofeng disappeared.

Could it be that this matter has something to do with him?

"Come here, call back the others and have them all go intercept the carriage of the Xiasha Nation envoy."

"I obey your command." An Mei agreed, turned around, jumped on his horse, and rode away.

As for Xia Yuanbo, he did leave the capital with the bird in a carriage, but he was very cunning. In order to prevent pursuers, he changed carriages several times.

Finally, they changed their water route and prepared to leave Juxing Kingdom by boat.

At this moment, he was sitting leisurely on the big ship, looking at the capital city getting farther and farther away, feeling very proud in his heart. As long as he could get the phoenix, Xiasha Kingdom would be able to unify the world. By then, if the emperor was happy, he might make him a national teacher, which would bring honor to the family.

Thinking of this, he was in high spirits. He took out the wooden box and looked at the unconscious bird inside as if he had found a treasure.

Several men stood behind him, looking at each other.

One of them couldn't help but ask...

"Master Xia, this little bird is not even as big as my fist. Is it really a phoenix?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuanbo glared at him fiercely, and then said smugly, "Nonsense, if I wasn't sure, would I have gone to so much trouble to get it?"

"Don't underestimate it now, it looks like a small sparrow, but once it transforms, it will be a huge golden phoenix, as big as a house, shining with golden light, very dazzling."

"Really?" Several of the men still didn't quite believe it!

After all, I haven't seen it with my own eyes.

Xia Yuanbo was annoyed and said...

"When have I ever told a lie?"

"Besides, don't you think about it? How can it be a mortal creature if it can be Princess Zhan's pet?"

"Have you heard the rumors about the little bird in the capital?"

"I've heard of it." Several subordinates nodded. The common people in the capital said that the little bird was a divine bird with infinite power. Although its body was only as big as a fist, it could lift an adult with just one of its small claws.

That alone is pretty awesome.

What's more, it can speak human language and communicate with people without any obstacles.

Xia Yuanbo raised his eyebrows and said, "Such a legendary bird, have you ever thought that its true form is a phoenix?"

After hearing Lord Xia's analysis, several of his men immediately became convinced that the bird was an ancient mythical beast.

Subordinate: "Sir, if it is a phoenix, why put it in a wooden box without ventilation? Will it suffocate to death?"

Upon hearing this, Xia Yuanbo couldn't help but laugh and said, "If a small wooden box can suffocate it, then it can't be called an ancient mythical beast."

"I checked a lot of materials before coming here. Let alone a wooden box, even if it is placed in a sealed iron box, it will not die."

"Don't underestimate it because it's just a small bird. It's said to be tens of thousands of years old, older than our ancestors."

"Really?" Several subordinates were very surprised. Lord Xia was indeed knowledgeable and understood a lot of things.

Xia Yuanbo: "Of course it's true."

While they were chatting, suddenly, a government ship appeared behind them and chased after them. Someone on the ship held a loud speaker and shouted at them desperately...

"The boat ahead should stop and accept inspection by the government. Otherwise, don't blame us for being rude."
