Back to the Priest Hall.
When Wu Ming learned that Qian Luosha's men had broken into the Priest Hall, he knew that he had been set up. He immediately ordered the city gate to be sealed. However, he was only a Protector of the Priest Hall, not a Shaman King. The general guarding the city was not willing to listen to him immediately. He directly asked Wu Ming to get the Emperor's handwritten order before he could seal the city.
"Lord Protector, the carriage went that way." A guard pointed to the south and shouted.
"Chase!" Wu Ming immediately said. He did not have time to argue with the general guarding the city and led his men to chase in the south.
After about an hour, Wu Ming caught up with the carriage. Unfortunately, Murong Ke, who he was looking for, was not in it. It was just an ordinary killer of Qian Luosha.
The damn Wu Ming gritted his teeth. He finally knew that he had been tricked. They had more than one carriage. There must have been other carriages to mislead them. Now he had no idea which direction Murong Ke would go.
"Return to the Priest Hall!" Wu Ming said in a low voice.
Huangfu Chen had not returned yet. The Priest Hall was in a mess. Although they had caught a few killers of Qian Luosha, they had already committed suicide by poison before they had time to question them.
"Didn't I ask you to guard the dungeon? Why were they able to rescue Murong Ke?" Wu Ming looked at the dozens of guards in front of him sharply and coldly. He had clearly instructed them to watch the dungeon and Murong Ke. In the end, the other party rescued him so easily, and none of these guards were in the dungeon to watch.
One of the guards whispered, "Lord Protector, didn't you ask us to search for traces of the Jin Kingdom's Empress outside the city?"
Wu Ming was furious. "The Jin Kingdom's Empress has disappeared for a few days. Would she still be outside the city?"
"But, we saw you!" Some guards were confused. Seeing Wu Ming's angry face, they suddenly realized that someone had disguised as Wu Ming to lure them away.
"Rice Bucket Idiot!" Wu Ming cursed. When he came back from the palace, he was still thinking that it would not be easy for Qian Luosha's men to rescue Murong Ke. There were so many guards in the Priest Hall, it was not easy for them to rescue him.
He just didn't expect that someone would disguise themselves as him, and these guards actually believed it. More than half of the guards in the entire Priest Palace were lured out of the city. No wonder Teng Ye and the others were able to rescue Murong Ke.
Wu Ming took a deep breath and suppressed his urge to kill. "Qian Luosha's men must still be in the city. Go and capture them immediately. No matter who they are, we must capture them alive."
The guards responded loudly.
"Lord Protector, even if they save Murong Ke, he won't be able to live for long," a guard whispered to Wu Ming.
"That's the Magus King's Gu Man. Even if he doesn't die, he'll still be useful to the Magus King." Nameless said coldly. He glanced at the people behind him and strode out. He still had to go to the palace to look for Huangfu Chen.
Huangfu Chen must have lured him out of the Priest Hall to save Murong Ke. He would know where Murong Ke was.
In the palace, Huang Fuchen was performing acupuncture on the King of Xiliang.
Although the King of Xiliang was terminally ill, it was still possible for him to feel better with acupuncture.
The King of Xiliang squinted his eyes in a daze. When Huang Fuchen pierced the last needle into his glabella, he seemed to wake up all of a sudden. Everything that happened in the past year appeared in his mind.
"Who are you?" The King of Xiliang looked at Huangfu Chen and asked.
"Your Majesty, I'm Huangfu Chen," Huangfu Chen said in a low voice.
The King of Xiliang said softly, "Is I still in the palace?"
"I'm in the palace," Huangfu Chen said.
"I thought I'd been killed long ago." The King of Xiliang laughed at himself. "I'm actually still alive. I wonder how I survived the past year."
Huangfu Chen was stunned. "Your Majesty, have you forgotten what happened in the past year?"
The King of Xiliang tried hard to recall, but he only remembered that his Queen died mysteriously. The memory after that was too vague. He couldn't remember anything even if he wanted to.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember Qi Ruoshui?" Huangfu Chen asked in a low voice.
"Qi Ruoshui …" The King of Xiliang murmured the name, "Witch King, Witch King …"
Huangfu Chen saw the King of Xiliang and confirmed his guess. Qi Ruoshui must have used hypnosis to control the King of Xiliang and made him listen to her. Now he was at the end of his rope and finally got rid of her control.
"Where's the Prince? I want to see the Prince!" The King of Xiliang suddenly shouted.
The servant next to him hurriedly asked, "Your Majesty, which prince do you want to see? The Second Prince or the Third Prince?"
The King of Xiliang glanced at the servant and said, "I want to see the Prince and Xi 'er."
The servant was stunned. "Your Majesty, the Prince is missing. I don't know where he is."
"How can the Prince be missing?" The King of Xiliang asked angrily.
Huangfu Chen said in a low voice, "Wanyan Xi is suspected of killing his mother and was demoted to a commoner. Now he is locked in the dungeon of the Priest Hall. Has Your Majesty forgotten?"
The King of Xiliang was stunned. How could he not remember this at all? "Xi 'er killed his mother! How can he kill his mother? Who dared to slander him like this? I want to demote him to a commoner! No, it's impossible! Call Xi' er here! I want to see him!"
The servant was completely stunned. He felt that the King seemed to be a different person today. It was the King who ordered the Prince to be killed and it was the Witch King who begged for the Prince's life. Why was it completely different here?
Huangfu Chen said in a low voice, "Didn't you hear what your King said? Go to the Priest Hall and bring the Prince back to see the King."
"But the Priest Hall is not a place we can enter at will!" The servant was sweating. How could they dare to offend the Witch King?
"Is there any place in Xiliang that the King can't go?" Huangfu Chen asked indifferently.
The King of Xiliang said angrily, "Ask the commander of the Imperial Army to see me!"
The servant didn't dare to see the King of Xiliang angry and didn't dare to delay any longer. He immediately went to ask the commander of the Imperial Army to come in.
The commander of the Imperial Army was the confidant of the King of Xiliang. He took the King of Xiliang's handwritten order and went to the Priest Hall. He happened to meet Wu Ming who was about to enter the palace.
Outside the Priest Hall, Wu Ming looked at the posture of the commander of the Imperial Army and narrowed his eyes slightly. "General Nian, what do you want?"
"I'm here to bring the Prince back to the palace under the King's order," General Nian said in a low voice.
Wu Ming said, "Wanyan Xi is a sinner and should have been sentenced to death. General Nian, whose order are you here to bring him back? Can the King still give orders now?"
General Nian took out the handwritten order expressionlessly. "The King's handwritten order is here. Imperial Army, listen up and bring the Prince back to the palace!"
What? Wu Ming was shocked. When he came out of the palace, the King was still unconscious. How could he write a handwritten order at this time?
The Priest Hall was originally guarded by the Imperial Army. When they heard the commander's order, they glanced at Wu Ming and walked to the dungeon.
