The five of them were originally stationed in the Devil Kingdom, but when they received the news, they immediately rushed out with a group of elite soldiers. Through the unique information channels in the Devil Kingdom, they found out that the Devil King and the others had been captured.
At the moment, they were hiding in and out of the city, trying to find a solution.
Therefore, it was easy for Guardian Jin to contact them. After Guardian Jin told them where he was, they hurried over to Gu Xijiu.
Gu Xijiu was worried about Di Fuyi's jade statue, so she did not wait for the reinforcements from the Devil Kingdom to arrive. Kun Xueyi stopped her. "Miss Gu, I will go with you!"
Gu Xijiu did not want to bring him along. It was more convenient for her to go alone.
Kun Xueyi took a deep breath and said, "Miss Gu, I am not going back to help you find the statue. I am going to impersonate you."
"Huh?"
"Miss Gu, Yun Yanli must value you the most. He must have installed some kind of monitoring device in the room where you are imprisoned. If no one impersonates you, he will soon find out that you are missing. By then, he will definitely search for you. It will not be good for you to go back to find the statue. Why don't you let me impersonate you to keep Yun Yanli in check? It will not be too late for you to rescue me after you rescue the statue."
What he said made sense. Kun Xueyi was also very good at disguising himself. Yun Yanli would not be able to find out that he was Gu Xijiu in a short period of time.
Therefore, Gu Xijiu agreed and teleported back to the golden house with Kun Xueyi.
Although she had a lot of things to do this trip, the time she spent was extremely short. It was less than an hour.
Nothing in the golden house seemed to have changed. Kun Xueyi immediately turned into Gu Xijiu's appearance and leaned weakly on the bed. He looked cold and calm, which was exactly the same as Gu Xijiu. Gu Xijiu felt like she was looking at herself in the mirror.
She was finally relieved. After giving Kun Xueyi a few more instructions, she turned around and left.
The hidden camera-like thing in the golden house had already been found and destroyed by her. Now that the broken 'camera' was still there, it was obvious that its owner did not know about the situation in the house.
Yun Yanli did not have time to check the situation in the golden house. After he left the dungeon, he went to another secret place.
There was another important person, Mr. Zhu.
Yun Yanli was determined to conquer the Devil Kingdom, so he needed the Devil Quenching Garment the most. Therefore, he had to find a way to win Mr. Zhu over.
Mr. Zhu was a loner, but he was loyal to Gu Xijiu. It would take a special method to win him over.
Yun Yanli's strategy was to use both force and pull.
First, they beat him.
After they caught him, they locked him in a water dungeon and locked him underwater. He did not even have a chance to breathe. Mr. Zhu would not drown, but he would be tortured.
Even if he was a bamboo, he would be submerged into a bamboo pole and his spirit would be drowned.
Mr. Zhu's days in such a place would be like years. He would want to leave at any second, so it would be easier for him to agree to Yun Yanli's terms.
Yun Yanli thought that Mr. Zhu had been drowned for four days, so it was time for him to pull him out.
Therefore, he went to the water cell. He saw Mr. Zhu, who was drowned at the bottom of the cell. His face was green.
Therefore, Yun Yanli personally activated the mechanism to bring him out of the water.
Looking at Mr. Zhu, who looked like a drowned rat, Yun Yanli was happy and began to recite the script that he had prepared.
He was very eloquent and analyzed the current situation with Zhu Duqing. He advised him that the Devil King would not be able to cause any more trouble, and that he would unify the Devil Kingdom. Of course, he emphasized on his wedding with Gu Xijiu the day after tomorrow, explaining that he was Mr. Zhu's future master. Therefore, Mr. Zhu's joining him was not considered a betrayal.
Yun Yanli was eloquent, and he felt that he was about to be convinced.
However, Mr. Zhu entered Cao's camp without saying a word.
Yun Yanli had been boasting for a long time, but he did not get a reply from Gu Xijiu.
Mr. Zhu usually had a sharp tongue, but why was he so obedient this time? He did not even fart!
Could it be that he was drowned into a mute?
Yun Yanli lifted his sleeve to check Mr. Zhu's pulse, but he found that his wrist was stiff and wet. It did not feel like a human hand.
Suddenly, he thought of something, and his expression changed. With a wave of his sleeve, a ray of light flashed across Mr. Zhu's body.
In front of him, Mr. Zhu had turned into a very grounded bamboo pole.
The bamboo pole had been shaved into the shape of a human, and Mr. Zhu's robe was swaying in the wind. It looked like a puppet. The mouth on the bamboo's head was wide open, as if it was laughing at something.
Yun Yanli's expression changed completely.
It was a puppet!
Zhu Duqing had escaped!
When did he escape?!
Yun Yanli's face turned pale. He called for two guards, who were confused. They did not know when Mr. Zhu, who was in the water cell, had been replaced.
Yun Yanli was furious. With a wave of his hand, he killed the two soldiers who had neglected their duty and kicked them into the water prison.
He then rushed to the golden house to see if Gu Xijiu was still there.
…
I'm in the middle of the plot, my dear, don't be impatient.
