Iron Snow Clouds

Chapter 1238 Looking for Someone

Tie Hongyan asked Tie Jinjue when he would be able to come back. Tie Jinjue's subordinates told her that it would take a few days for him to come back, but it depended on how things went.

Tie Hongyan left Hongfeng Palace and went back to Aoqian Palace to do some things in the meeting room. Then he found out that he needed to go to Bakong Palace for something, so he went there.

On the way back from Bakong Palace, she saw Le Yu running in the woods from afar.

At that time, Le Yu was sweating and panting. She saw Tie Hongyan but didn't say hello. When she ran to a certain position, she bent down and seemed to move something, and then she was out of the range that Tie Hongyan could see.

Soon, some other people appeared in the woods, looking around, obviously looking for someone.

Tie Hongyan thought: Le Yu ran so fast just now, could these people be chasing her? Where did she go? If these people were really chasing her, would they find her? Is she in need of help now?
So Tie Hongyan immediately walked towards those people.

When those who were looking for someone saw her appear, one of them immediately greeted her and called her "Young Clan Leader", and then the others followed suit and called her "Young Clan Leader".

"What are you doing here?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Young Patriarch, we are looking for someone." said the person who first called her "Young Patriarch".

He had just finished saying this when they were about to move on.

"Wait a minute, there's no need to be so anxious, right?" Tie Hongyan said, "I'm talking to you, why are you so flustered?"

They were afraid of offending her, so they all stopped there.

"Young Patriarch, if we don't hurry up and look for him, he might have run far away!" the man said.

Tie Hongyan didn't allow them to continue searching, so those people didn't dare to take any action.

"Who are you looking for?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"Looking for the person who let those blue-armored criminals escape." The man said. "What blue-armored criminals?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"That's the blue-armored man who committed a crime and was captured by Elder Nie." the man said.

Tie Hongyan asked: "Are you the people sent by Elder Nie?"

"Yes, Young Clan Leader." The man said. The others nodded.

"What crime did those blue-armored criminals commit?" Tie Hongyan asked.

The man said, "Elder Nie didn't tell us what crime they committed, but we knew they must have committed a crime anyway."

Tie Hongyan asked again: "The blue-armored criminal must be locked up in jail, how could he escape?"

"We don't know the details. Anyway, the people above told us that some blue-armored criminals escaped. Someone saw someone releasing those blue-armored criminals, but didn't see clearly, so they drew the appearance of the person who released them. We arrested that person based on the appearance in the portrait." said the man.

"You've never seen the person who let the blue-armored criminal escape?" Tie Hongyan asked.

"No," the man said. The others also shook their heads.

Tie Hongyan asked, "So you guys arrest whoever looks like the person in the portrait?"

"Our superiors told us to do this. If we see anyone who looks like the man, no matter who he is, we should capture him first and then notify Elder Nie," the man replied.

"No way? You have to be honest. Could Elder Nie let you do such a thing?" Tie Hongyan asked. She knew that Nie Huihou was very likely to do such a thing, but she asked deliberately.

"Young Patriarch, yes," the man said.
