"What? The lady boss of Yunhua Pavilion, Yun Zhiqiu, wasn't captured by that pervert Jiang Yiyi? "
Just as Ye Yi's nerves were tense, another report came from the vice commander. Ye Yi was startled and asked, "Are you sure?"
The vice commander smiled bitterly. "Yes, that Yun Zhiqiu has been in Yunhua Pavilion the whole time. She has never left the city."
Ye Yi was surprised. "Didn't the guards on the city wall see 'Yun Zhiqiu' being taken away with their own eyes? Didn't they see Commander Chu's subordinates chase after her? "
The vice commander replied, "I was also curious about this. In case there was something fishy going on, I went to the city wall to ask the witnesses if they could confirm that 'Yun Zhiqiu' was taken away. In the end, everyone said that 'Yun Zhiqiu' was wearing a gauze hat, so they couldn't see her face clearly. They couldn't be completely sure that it was' Yun Zhiqiu 'who was taken away, but it looked like her. After that, I personally made a trip to the Glorious Cloud Pavilion and met with Yun Zhiqiu. I found an excuse to have her leave her transcendence seal, and had the district governor collect the deed that Yun Zhiqiu had signed long ago to verify that this Yun Zhiqiu was the real deal, and that she hadn't been captured by that perverted Jiang Yiyi. "
Ye Yi was speechless for a while. "What the hell is Chu Zishan up to?"
The vice commander hesitated. "Could it be that Chu Zishan received some news and wanted to capture that pervert Jiang Yiyi, so he made a fake and went out to set up a trap?"
Ye Yi fell silent. He couldn't figure out what was going on either. In the end, he gritted his teeth and said, "It's all a mess right now. I don't even know what's going on. Send someone to bring Yun Zhiqiu over for interrogation. Ask her what's going on and see if she knows anything about the situation!"
The vice commander tried to remind him, "That woman might have an affair with Niu Youde. I heard that Niu Youde came out of the Desolate Ancient Wasteland alive. Wouldn't bringing her here for interrogation cause any trouble? That madman has millions of elite soldiers in his hands. Once he goes crazy … "The rest of his meaning was too obvious.
Ye Yi's mouth stiffened. He didn't dare to provoke someone who dared to cause trouble at the Celestial Emperor's wedding. Most importantly, he had a lot of troops in his hands. That thing wasn't just for show. The people in Sky Street weren't even enough to fill the gaps between their teeth. He turned around and rolled his eyes at the deputy commander. "We don't have any evidence of her crimes in our hands. We asked you to bring her here for questioning. I didn't ask you to capture him. Just be polite! "
"Yes!" The deputy commander accepted the order and left. In his heart, he was muttering, "Didn't you just say 'interrogation'?"
In the Heavenly Weng Manor, within a simple yet luxurious room. Xiahou Ta opened his arms and allowed the two maidservants to tidy his clothes carefully. The Celestial Court was about to convene, so he naturally had to dress properly.
Just as he finished tidying up the place, Steward Wei Shu walked in from outside. He turned his head to the left and right and said, "All of you, leave!"
The two maidservants bowed and retreated. Wei Shu took a walking stick from the side and handed it to Xiahou Ta, saying, "Old Master, not long ago. Something happened in the Yuding region under Lord Guang. "
"Oh!" Xiahou Ta tilted his head to look. He knew that Wei Shu was here to mention something, so he wouldn't say it without thinking. "What happened?"
Wei Shu said, "Chu Zishan, the lieutenant of the Yuding region, and his tens of thousands of subordinates were suddenly besieged by tens of thousands of guards. According to some of Chu Zishan's subordinates who managed to escape, almost all of Chu Zishan's troops were slaughtered at that time. Although there's no follow-up news, but the tens of thousands of guards besieged Chu Zishan's troops … I'm afraid the latter is already dead!"
"Ha! Who's so bold … "Xiahou Ta was amused. He paused and hesitated." Chu Zishan? Isn't this Chu Zishan the lieutenant you mentioned before who's going to marry that Yun Zhiqiu or something? "
Wei Shu smiled and nodded. "Yes, it's that Chu Zishan!"
Xiahou Ta was stunned. He suddenly laughed and said, "So it's about this. I was wondering why a disciple of Fire Asura suddenly appeared. So it's about this matter. This Niu Youde is really bold! "
Wei Shu looked at him with admiration. Some time ago, the old master had deduced that something might happen to Niu Youde based on some clues, and it might not be a small matter. At that time, he was still wondering if something big could happen to Niu Youde. As soon as he received the news, he instantly understood that it was indeed a major incident. The tens of thousands of Imperial Guards besieged the local troops and slaughtered almost all of them. Even the Domain Chief who was in charge of the region might have been killed. This matter was really big enough.
He smiled and said, "Old Master, you're wise. Niu Youde holds the military power of the millions of guards, and this matter involves that Yun Zhiqiu. Coincidentally, it was the guards who took action. It seems that Niu Youde really did it. No one else would dare to do it."
Xiahou Ta shook his head and clicked his tongue. "This kid is really bold. The supreme order of the guards is not to be used without permission, especially not to involve themselves in local affairs. The guards would definitely not allow him to do something like this, so it must be this guy who used it without permission. He's really not afraid of death! Now I'm curious. The mobilization of the tens of thousands of guards is impossible without the eyes of the higher-ups, and it's impossible to hide it from them. How could he do something like this right under their noses? There must be something fishy going on. Pay attention to what's going on later. "
"Yes!" Wei Shu answered and accompanied him to the door.
Xiahou Ta stopped at the door and turned back again. "That Yun Zhiqiu is not simple. I'm afraid her importance is far beyond what you and I imagined. You need to pay more attention to her!"
Wei Shu was taken aback. "Just because of this?"
"You're still a little inexperienced compared to your father. There are some things that your father understands as soon as I say them, but you don't get it. What's wrong with this? Isn't this enough? " Xiahou Ta rebuked him and even knocked his knuckle on his head. Then he looked back at the door, his eyes deep and distant. "I thought that the Fire Asura incident was to cover for Niu Youde, but now it seems that it's not just Niu Youde they're covering for, but this Yun Zhiqiu as well. Think about it, is the Dominator a saint? No matter what Yun Zhiqiu's background in the Dominator is, is it important to the Dominator who has been trapped in the Inferno Hell for so many years? If Chu Zishan marries Yun Zhiqiu, it will be a great opportunity for the Dominator to enter the Celestial Court, especially the guards. With Chu Zishan's direct background in the guards, he can definitely take this opportunity to plant this woman beside Chu Zishan and drag a bunch of people down with him. The Dominator would be more than happy to do this, but now it seems that the Dominator has not done so. What does this mean? It means that the mastermind not only doesn't want Niu Youde to be threatened, but also doesn't want Yun Zhiqiu to be hurt! Although I don't know why the mastermind wants to do this, can't you see the importance of this woman if they let Niu Youde make such a big mess and protect this woman? Otherwise, based on the means of the person who set up the scheme, he was completely capable of stopping Niu Youde from doing so. There was no need to let Niu Youde cause such a big trouble. Such a big trouble could easily cause things to go out of control. No one could tell what would happen in the end. Knowing that there was such a big risk, he still made preparations in this aspect and didn't intervene … If you still don't understand after saying so much, don't be confused by some dazzling things. Look at the essence of the matter directly. To put it bluntly, it's very simple. This time, it's not because Niu Youde wanted to cause trouble, but because of this woman. A woman can cause such a big trouble. Do you dare to underestimate the importance of this woman? "
Wei Shu would not have understood if the mastermind hadn't pointed it out. Now that he understood, Wei Shu cupped his hands and bowed deeply. "I have learned a lot from Master's words." After getting up, he could not help but ask curiously, "What is the background of this woman, for her to be so important?"
"Hehe!" Xiahou Ta put on a fake smile and took a step forward, saying, "It's more like I can predict. Take your time and see. Sooner or later, there will be some clues. Let's not talk about it anymore. I'm going to the imperial court! "
Guang Wang Residence.
"Lord Father, I heard a strange rumor recently. It said that there is a kind of divine tree in this world that can live as long as the heaven and earth, and it is called the Undying Tree. It grows in the world of ice and snow and emits a strange fragrance. Its whole body is snow-white, and even its leaves are white. The meridians in it are like the human body's tendons and veins that nurture the bloodline. Whoever can drink a cup of the Undying Tree's blood will be immortal like this tree. Even if the wood is burned and the incense is smoked for a long time, one's appearance will remain forever. Is it true?"
Mei Niang and her daughter, Mei Er, were helping the Duke of Guang tidy up his clothes. Mei Er was busy, but her mouth was also chattering with a face full of curiosity.
When the Duke of Guang saw her, he knew that she was attracted by the 'eternal appearance'. All women liked this. He couldn't help but chuckle, saying, "There is such a saying, but it is only an ancient legend. Lord Father has never seen it. Even if you want it, Lord Father can't do anything about it."
Mei Er immediately pulled his sleeve and begged, "Lord Father, can't you send someone to look for it?"
"Stupid girl!" Mei Niang poked her daughter's head with the tip of her finger. "Where can we find something that can only be found by chance? Don't delay your Lord Father's imperial court. "
Mei Er pouted and retreated to the side. The Duke of Guang glanced at Gou Yue, who was waiting outside the door. He knew that something had happened. He tilted his head and smiled at his daughter. He then told Mei Niang that it was fine and walked out in big steps.
Gou Yue followed him down the stairs. When they entered the courtyard together, the Duke of Guang asked plainly, "What's the matter?"
Gou Yue replied, "Something happened in the Youding Domain. The Youding Domain's Governor, Chu Zishan, and his ten thousand men were surrounded by tens of thousands of guards in the Youding Domain. There is no news of the missing men. I'm afraid that the entire army has been wiped out!"
