"Wang Family Head, I'm truly sorry. This junior was busy interrogating the assassin and didn't want to keep you waiting outside, so I could only have you come here! Please forgive me! "
Wang Yu appeared at the door of the cell. Dugu Xin was about to stand up to welcome him, but Zhang Dafu quickly helped him up. Dugu Xin steadied himself and gestured for Zhang Dafu to step aside before politely cupping his fists at Wang Yu.
Even though he had previously suspected that Star Wolf came from the Wang clan, it was only a suspicion without any concrete evidence. Moreover, when Dugu Feiying had been searching for Zhu Xie Cheng and Kang Changan in Sourcepeak City, Wang Yu had helped him quite a bit. Thus, when facing Wang Yu, Dugu Xin was still as polite as before.
"Honorable Nephew Dugu must be joking. This old man should be the one bothering you!"
Wang Yu did not put on airs and instead affectionately called him 'Honorable Nephew'. The Wang Family of Taiyuan and the Dugu Clan of Luoyang could be considered old friends. As an elder, it was reasonable for Wang Yu to call Dugu Xin 'Honorable Nephew'.
After this polite exchange, Wang Yu looked at Dugu Xin and asked with concern, "Honorable Nephew, you've just been cured of the poison. Are you alright now?"
"Thanks to Uncle Wang, I'm fine now! I also have to thank Uncle Wang for inviting the divine doctor to treat me. Otherwise, this junior really might not have been able to wake up! "
Dugu Xin solemnly cupped his fists at Wang Yu.
Since Wang Yu had addressed him as nephew, it wouldn't be too much for him to address him as uncle. Furthermore, Dugu Xin had already heard about what had happened at the posthouse this morning from the people around him. He knew that if Wang Yu hadn't invited the best (and also the most difficult to invite) physician in Taiyuan, Gongsun Liang, there was a high chance that he would have died from the poison by now! Thus, from a certain perspective, Wang Yu could be considered his savior. If he still coldly called Wang Yu 'Wang Family Head', it would be a little too unreasonable!
"Haha! That's good! That's good! "
Dugu Xin addressing him as' uncle 'made Wang Yu heave a sigh of relief. In just a few words, the relationship between the two of them had become much closer. Now, he could naturally ask Dugu Xin to help him investigate the identity of the captured assassin!
"This old man just received news that a fire broke out in the south of the city, and the Imperial Army happened to capture someone at the scene. This old man was worried about Your Highness' safety, so I came to take a look. Oh, right! Just now, my nephew said that he was interrogating the assassin. Could it be that the person the Imperial Guard caught in the southern part of the city was the assassin? Is His Highness doing well? "
Wang Yu remembered the purpose of his visit and the words Dugu Xin had said at the beginning. His expression was shocked, and he cupped his hands at Dugu Xin as he looked around the cell.
He looked around and saw that there was another person hanging on the rack. It was Star Wolf!
However, Star Wolf had lowered his head again. His messy hair easily covered his face, so Wang Yu couldn't see his face clearly.
Dugu Xin followed Wang Yu's gaze, paused for a moment, then turned his head and replied,
"Uncle Wang is not an outsider, so this junior will tell you the truth. Earlier, His Highness and Flying Eagle brought people to escort a batch of important resources from Yanhuang College to Longshan. Unexpectedly, they were ambushed in a small alley in the south of the city. The enemy used four burning carriages to attack the convoy from the front and back. At the critical moment, Flying Eagle could only order the soldiers to scatter in all directions to save their lives, and the resources of the college were all burned. Amidst the chaos, an assassin flew over and tried to kidnap Your Highness. Look, this is the assassin! "
As he spoke, Dugu Xin pointed at Star Wolf on the rack.
Hearing this, Wang Yu finally understood what had happened in the small alley in the south of the city 15 minutes ago. However, at this time, he couldn't care less about the assassin. He only wanted to know how Li Tai was doing. Thus, he hurriedly asked with a nervous expression, "How is His Highness now? This old man didn't see His Highness at the inn ~? "
