Escaped? Even though they felt that something unexpected had happened, they still found it hard to believe when they heard the answer.
Jiang Wanlou could not accept this reality. "How is this possible? There were not many people in the world who could stop the five Grand Elders, not to mention that there were hundreds of elite disciples helping them. How could a mere thief make the five Grand Elders return in defeat? Could it be that Niu Youdao has an endless supply of Sky Sword Talismans? "
The Sect Leader had such high expectations that the five Grand Elders were truly ashamed.
One of them said shamefully, "It's not that we don't have an endless supply of Heaven Sword Talismans. That bastard is no match for us on land, so it's easy to kill him. However, it's a different matter in the water. That bastard's cultivation technique is good at controlling water …" After explaining what happened in the water, of course, it was not that they were incompetent, but they naturally had to emphasize it. "We've already severely injured him. Just as he was about to die, a large green snake suddenly emerged from the water and rescued him. It then escaped underground with him. According to the disciples, that green snake is that Yun Ji who escaped with the hostage. "
With this, everyone understood the whole story. Niu Youdao was here to take the hostage!
The so-called secret discussion was a trick. The reason why he brought Yun Ji instead of Hong Niang was all nonsense. The goal was obviously because this Yun Ji had a rare earth burrowing technique that would allow her to take the hostage away in time. And Niu Youdao used the power of the Sky Sword Talismans to cover the hostage's escape. The reason why he escaped to the Corner Lake was because that bastard had the ability to escape underwater.
Pang Teng said, "This means that the Yan Army's attack was a feint. Their purpose was to force us to gather our men to defend and reduce the pressure on Niu Youdao so that Niu Youdao could escape. Otherwise, Niu Youdao would not be able to hold them off if everyone swarmed him!"
Everyone's complexion was unsightly. They had been tricked, and miserably tricked. The elders of the three major sects had rushed to the Southern Prefecture City to capture the hostages, but they had actually been abducted by Niu Youdao just like that. This had been a meticulously planned plot from the very beginning.
The last glimmer of hope that he had worked so hard for was shattered just like that?
His heart was heavy and he was furious. This Niu Youdao had continuously brought losses and humiliation to the state of Zhao and the three major sects. It was indescribable!
This was especially true for Jiang Wanlou. Not only had he lost a disciple, but Niu Youdao had also calmly crippled one of his direct disciple's hands. If this news were to spread, how could he endure it?
However, there was one thing that everyone had to admit. This Niu Youdao was too daring. He actually dared to use such a risky method to snatch hostages. He was truly playing with his life.
From their point of view, Niu Youdao had already achieved success and recognition. Was it worth it for two mortals?
What they were more worried about was that the Zhao army was trapped here. Where was their way out?
…
There were some things that needed to be clarified. In the central tent, not only Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming were there, Long Xiu and the others were also there. Yun Ji was also called over.
In response to everyone's questions, Yun Ji and Shang Shuqing explained what had happened.
Yun Ji did not hide the fact that she had tunneled underground. She knew that she could not hide it anymore. It had already been exposed. So many people in the state of Zhao had seen it. She could not control the mouths of those people.
What did it mean to fulfill one's words? He said that he wanted that Gui Yuan Sect disciple's dog paw. He really chopped off that Gui Yuan Sect disciple's dog paw. He did what he said even when he was in danger!
Especially when he was in danger, Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming were moved. Shang Shuqing, on the other hand, had tears in his eyes.
Shang Chaozong and Meng Shanming were still fine if they knew about the plan. However, Long Xiu and the others were shocked. This bastard Niu Youdao was really playing with his life. Was it worth it?
Gong Lince was deep in thought. He thought about what had happened in the Secret Territory of Tiandu. He clearly knew that rejecting Chu Fengping's female disciple would force him into a desperate situation. He could obviously deal with it, but Niu Youdao was determined not to comply. There were some things that he could do and some things that he could not. He would rather die.
After everything that had happened, Gong Lince had a better understanding of Niu Youdao's character. He believed in Yan Li's judgment and was relieved about some things.
After the questioning, everyone dispersed. The leaders of the three sects did not want to stay any longer. They had fallen out with each other and did not want to see Shang Chaozong's face any longer.
On the way back to his tent, Meng Xuan suddenly said, "That bastard Niu Youdao is really courageous. In order to save these two people, he was willing to risk his life!"
Long Xiu coldly snorted, "Who knows if what he said was true or not. He was just trying to buy people's hearts."
Gong Lince said, "The Five Elements Technique is extremely rare. Yun Ji, this snake demon, actually knows the Earth Tunneling Technique."
… …
Outside Nanzhou's Prefecture City, surrounded by layers of soldiers, people from the Prince's Mansion would occasionally enter and leave.
After this incident, they did not dare to be careless anymore. The entire Prince's Mansion directly moved into the heavily guarded area.
Lan Ruoting, who was carrying the swaddle, walked quickly and went straight to a tent. After reporting in, Lan Ruoting happily shouted, "Princess, the Little Prince is back."
Feng Ruonan, whose eyes were red and whose face was washed with tears all day, suddenly sat up on the bed, causing the two maids on both sides to panic.
Her son was lost. He was snatched away right after he was born. As a mother, it was easy to imagine her feelings.
Lan Ruoting originally did not want her to know and wanted to keep her unconscious. However, Niu Youdao wanted to find out the details, so he had no choice but to let Feng Ruonan wake up. When she woke up, she was in so much pain that she wanted to die.
"Look, Little Prince." Lan Ruoting carefully handed the baby in the swaddle to her.
Feng Ruonan, who was holding her son with a face full of joy, carefully looked at him. Her happy expression froze and she said with a face full of suspicion, "Is this my son? Did Teacher find a baby to fool me in order to comfort me? "
"… …" Lan Ruoting was instantly speechless, not knowing why she said that. "This … … how could this be fake? This is naturally the Little Prince."
Feng Ruonan lowered her head to look at the sleeping little fellow, "I saw him when he was born, he did not look this good at all." Finished speaking, she directly handed the swaddle to the maid beside her. She did not want to look any longer. Her tears flowed out again. It was as if she was certain that he was found somewhere to comfort her, afraid that she would be sad.
Lan Ruoting was stunned for a while, and finally reacted. He didn't know whether to laugh or cry, "Wangfei, I also saw the Little Prince when he was born. He was indeed not as good looking as he is now. He just came out of his mother's womb, so his skin and flesh were naturally wrinkled and ugly. After getting used to the outside environment, his skin and flesh stretched out, so he naturally became good-looking and cute. Everyone is like this, so our family's Little Prince can't be special! "
Feng Ruonan was also stunned. She thought about it, and it seemed to make sense. She wiped her tears, but still had doubts in her heart, "Can the State of Zhao easily return the child?"
Speaking of this, Lan Ruoting sighed deeply, "How can it be returned so easily? This is something that the Prince and Meng Shuai asked for Daoye's help. It was Daoye who risked his life to snatch it back from the State of Zhao. In order to save the Little Prince, Daoye was severely injured by the State of Zhao … "In order to prove that this was indeed her son, Lan Ruoting told her the news he got from the frontlines in detail.
Although it wasn't a very detailed account of what had happened, it was enough to make Feng Ruonan's heart jump. She was also moved and cried again. "I can't repay what I owe this Dao Grandpa in this lifetime."
"Sigh!" Lan Ruoting sighed, "The people from the three major sects did nothing to save him, and only Daoye stepped forward bravely. Meng Shuai praised Daoye for being extremely righteous! "
Feng Ruonan, "How is Daoye now?"
Lan Ruoting, "His injuries are too heavy, and he lost too much blood. He managed to come back with his life, but he is still in a coma."
"Boohoo …" Feng Ruonan cried loudly.
She was originally a heroine on the battlefield, but recently, she became particularly sensitive and often cried.
As a result, her crying woke up the child, and she hurriedly took the child to comfort him. "My child, my poor child …" After her mood slightly stabilized, she looked up and asked, "Where's Qing 'Er? Is Qing 'Er okay? How come I don't see Qing 'Er? "
Lan Ruoting, "The Prince wanted to secretly send the princess back, but the princess refused to come back. She has been staying by the side of the unconscious Daoye."
Feng Ruonan let out an "Oh" sound, thoughtfully. She could understand this.
…
"Another secret talk?" Facing the disciple who came to report, Jiang Wanlou asked. His expression was almost distorted.
Zuo Chengfeng and Mi Man's faces also sank. The person who came from Yan's side was Yan Spirit Sword Mountain's disciple named Xin Jikui. He said that he came for a secret talk.
Previously, there was a Niu Youdao who came for a secret talk, which caused them heavy losses. Now, another person came for a secret talk. What else do they want?
Damn, they can't play like this. Last time, there were two people, but this time, there was only one person. Are they addicted to playing with us like fools? This is too much!
The reporting disciple said, "Yes, that's what he said. He said that he was ordered to come."
Jiang Wanlou asked, "Are you sure he's from Spirit Sword Mountain?"
The disciple said, "There's no mistake, I've verified it. This disciple also knows this person, he's Meng Xuan's direct disciple."
Jiang Wanlou turned around and asked the other two, "Brother Zuo, Brother Mi, what do you think?"
Zuo Chengfeng threw out a sentence, "If he really has the sincerity to come for a talk, then let him obediently surrender. First, control him, then search his body. If there's anything wrong, immediately chop him into minced meat!"
"Okay, let's do that!" Jiang Wanlou nodded and waved his hand. "Bring him here!" With that, he walked back and forth with his hands clasped behind his back. He wanted to see what kind of trick the other party could come up with. He didn't believe that everyone here was a fool.
Before long, Xin Jikui arrived. Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, he looked fearless. With a smile on his face, he courteously cupped his hands to greet the three Sect Leaders.
Jiang Wanlou asked, "What did Meng Xuan ask you to talk about?"
Xin Jikui had quite a demeanor. With an indifferent look, he said, "Naturally, it's something that everyone would like to hear and see."
Jiang Wanlou said, "Oh, could it be that Yan is willing to withdraw his troops?"
Xin Jikui said, "I'm not here to withdraw my troops. I have something important to tell the three Sect Leaders!"
"If you don't withdraw your troops, then what else is there to talk about?" Jiang Wanlou raised his hand and pointed. "Come, cut off both of his hands first!"
Two cultivators quickly rushed up and held down the visitor.
Zuo Chengfeng stretched out his hand, wanting to stop him. He wanted to say that it wouldn't be too late to make a move after the other party finished talking. However, on second thought, he dispelled this idea. He knew that Jiang Wanlou wanted to vent his anger. The other side had cut off one of his disciple's hands, so he wanted to cut both of them back with interest.
