"Sir, there's nothing I can do. His Majesty hasn't come out. I've already informed him, but he hasn't responded!" The messenger said in a hurry.
"What is he doing? Open the door quickly. I want to go in and have a look!" The man said. He thought the servant in front of him didn't dare to open the door.
"Sir, you don't know this. After the door is closed, it can only be opened from the inside. His Majesty doesn't want to open it now, so there's nothing we can do!"
In fact, the messenger was anxious because the king didn't want to open the door. He didn't even want to respond.
"King Gao Fei, what's the matter? We have business to do now. Others are waiting outside!" Since he couldn't open the door, he could only shout.
"It's useless, sir. It's useless even if you shout. This room is soundproof. If there's anything, you can only let the people inside know by pressing the bell. His Majesty has cut off communication. He doesn't want to talk to us!" The servant explained again.
"…" The lord frowned. "What's he doing hiding inside at this time? Do you know? "
"This …" The servant stammered as if there was something inconvenient to say.
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly. We don't have time to waste here!" The lord said in a deep voice, reprimanding him sternly.
'I can't deal with that abnormal Mr. Ye, but I can deal with a servant like you.'
"This …" The servant was still hesitating. It seemed that it was difficult to speak.
"Say it!" The lord shouted.
"I really don't know how to say it. It's like this. Two days ago, when His Majesty went out, he brought a person with him. He has been inside ever since. He told us not to disturb them no matter what happened. However, they haven't come out. They haven't even come out to eat!" The servant began to narrate.
"They have been inside all this time? Aren't you afraid that something will happen? Aren't you afraid that the person has escaped? "The lord asked.
"No, there's only one exit here. His Majesty also has protective measures inside. He won't give anyone a chance to succeed," the servant explained. "This isn't the first time His Majesty has done this. In the past, he even didn't come out for seven days and seven nights."
Oh, so it wasn't the first time. No wonder they were so relaxed. If it wasn't an urgent matter, they probably wouldn't care about what the king was doing.
However, what was the king doing inside?
"What is your king doing inside? It's not the first time, which means that you should know what you're doing! "The Lord frowned.
Before this, the servant still did not mention the most important thing. What exactly did the King and that person do inside that could actually make the King ignore his official business and the future of the Kingdom?
"This..." the servant stammered. "The king, he... they are gambling!!"
"Oh, gambling … What?! Is he gambling? Is it for gambling that he does not attend to business? "exclaimed the Monseigneur, who soon recovered himself.
This was because, among the 13 allied nations, everyone seemed to have heard that King Gao Fei of Dufang Kingdom was a gambler, and a very crazy gambler. However, he was also very good at gambling, so not many people dared to gamble with him.
However, although he knew that he was a gambler, he did not expect that he would disregard the rise and fall of the country for the sake of gambling. At this critical moment, he actually wanted to gamble with someone behind closed doors.
"Yes! So, we have no other way now. We can only guess that His Majesty is addicted to gambling. Once he is addicted, we do not know when he will come out. It may be very soon, or it may be a few days later! "The servant said helplessly.
The Lord was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is there any other way to open this door, even if it is destroyed?"
"There is, but it will take a few days. This room is specially reinforced, and there is also an alchemy formation for defense. Even if we get an alchemist to open it, it will take a few days to find the trick to destroy it!" said the servant.
"A few days? I can't wait for an hour now!" The Lord frowned. "Do you know who the person who gambled with your king is?"
"This, we do not know. We only know that it is a young man, a very strange young man. His Majesty met him on the street. Later, he was invited here by His Majesty to gamble. We do not know the specific situation." The servant shook his head and said, and when he said the word "invited", his tone was particularly heavy.
Obviously, this strange young man was not invited willingly!
"What should we do now..." The Lord was distressed. After a while, he gritted his teeth and went out!
He had already decided to blame the failure of this mission entirely on King Gao Fei. At least this way, they could shirk the responsibility of not completing the mission.
Now, they did not want to be meritorious, but to not make any mistakes!
"General Ye, I am really sorry. King Gao Fei is temporarily unable to come out. I can only apologize!" The Lord said apologetically.
"That's fine, then we will leave first!" Ye Chengtian cupped his hands and said goodbye. At this time, what was the point of staying here if they did not leave? They were all respectable people, and they did not have anything to ask of them.
"Goodbye!" Seventh Brother and the others said together and were ready to leave.
And at this moment, something happened that made them stop in their tracks …
"Let him go, or I will let you know the feeling of being frozen!!" Ye Lanyu's voice came into everyone's ears. This made everyone look nervously in the direction of Ye Lanyu's voice and began to form a defensive formation.
This was because since Ye Lanyu had asked someone to let him go, it meant that someone among them had been captured. This could mean that they had fallen into a trap.
These people from the 13 allied countries might be very bold and wanted to harm them!
However, Ye Chengtian and the others soon realized that the representatives of the 13 allied countries were very surprised and completely unaware of this matter.
Did they hide it from their own people, or did this have nothing to do with them?
The answer was soon revealed...
Everyone saw a woman in leather armor holding Zhen Xiaoyan hostage and retreating towards them. Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess followed closely behind. Ye Yi and the others followed closely behind.
"A warrior?" The woman's leather armor was the kind commonly worn by warriors. While it had a certain protective effect, it would not affect any movement of the body.
This was mostly worn by mercenaries and ordinary family warriors. This was because apart from the above characteristics, this type of leather armor had another important advantage. It was cheap and cost-effective!
