Chapter 93 The Prisoner Who Came to the Door (Part 2)
Facing Gu Chi's questioning, the young woman lowered her head silently without refuting. She had also heard about what the Jiuli Dynasty's army did after breaking through the Qian Kingdom's border and capturing Yingli City in the imperial city. How could her father not know about it?
She believed that her father would not issue such an order, but she chose to turn a blind eye. Isn't this a disguised form of acquiescence?
"If you treat the people of our Qian Kingdom like this today, when we decline and are attacked, others may treat you the same way."
Gu Chi then asked a few more questions. When they learned that the bodies of Sect Master Yang Shan and others had not yet been refined into zombie puppets, both the man and the dog secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
During the subsequent interrogation, Gu Chi learned that the young woman's name was Su Mo, and her father was actually a prince.
"King Wuping, your name is 'Wu', it seems your father is also a ruthless character." Gu Chi looked up and down at the young woman in front of him, and felt that using her as a hostage might have a chance to force the old emperor of the Jiuli Dynasty to return the bodies of Sect Master Yangshan and others.
.....
Inside the imperial city, the capital of the Jiuli Dynasty.
"What did you say? Mo'er was kidnapped by a cultivator from the Qian Nation?!"
Inside the magnificent hall, the emperor of the Jiuli Dynasty stood up from the throne. As soon as the pressure of the Golden Core Stage was released, everyone in the hall knelt on the ground, trembling and not daring to look up.
"If you can't even keep an eye on one person, what's the use of you good-for-nothings like you?!" Emperor Jiuli shouted sternly, and kept making hand gestures with his right hand, trying to deduce the whereabouts of his daughter, but in the end he could not deduce anything.
The first deduction was fruitless, which could be considered an accident, but the successive deductions also yielded nothing. This gave the Jiuli Emperor a bad feeling. Looking at the group of people kneeling below, he became even more annoyed and cursed, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and take people out to look for it!"
"I will retire at the end!"
A group of soldiers fled out of the hall crawling and tumbling as if they had been pardoned.
The Jiuli Emperor turned his head to look at the right side of the throne, where a white-haired old Taoist priest was resting with his eyes closed. He said, "State Master, what do you think about this?"
"I feel this matter is not as simple as it seems."
The old Taoist remained calm and spoke slowly, "When Her Royal Highness sneaked out of the Imperial City, I periodically calculated her whereabouts. However, once she approached the border, it was as if she had vanished from the face of the earth. The results of my deductions were nothing but chaos."
The Jiuli Emperor nodded and said, "I just did some calculations, but all the information about Mo'er is obscured by a haze of chaos."
The Imperial Master said, "This isn't something a Qi Condensation cultivator can do. The other party either possesses some special secret treasure that can conceal the secrets of the heavens, or he's an unparalleled powerhouse who has already stepped into the Nascent Soul stage."
"I don't know how Mo'er is doing now." The Emperor of Jiuli frowned.
He had just taken a bite of meat from the Qian Kingdom, and his precious daughter was kidnapped by a cultivator from the Qian Kingdom. God knows how that cultivator from the Qian Kingdom treated his precious daughter.
The Emperor of Jiuli was furious and said, "If anything happens to Mo'er, I will send troops again and overthrow the Qian Kingdom in one fell swoop!"
"Your Majesty, there's no need to worry. The Princess's lamp hasn't gone out yet, which means her life is not in danger at the moment."
The white-haired old Taoist priest spread out his palm, and a bright lotus lantern appeared on his palm.
He is not only the imperial teacher of the Jiuli Dynasty, but also Su Mo's master.
However, the fact that the Jiuli Dynasty was willing to entrust his daughter's life lamp to the other party for safekeeping shows how much trust the Jiuli Dynasty had in this imperial teacher.
"The Qian Nation cultivators didn't directly kill the princess. Either they knew her identity and were worried about sparking another war between the two countries. Or they wanted to use the princess as a bargaining chip to gain some benefit from Your Majesty."
"No matter which possibility it is, Her Royal Highness the Princess will not be in danger for the time being."
The old Taoist remained calm from beginning to end, and he never even opened his eyes once, as if nothing in the world could stir up any waves in his heart.
Listening to his analysis, the Nine Li Emperor's furrowed brows did not relax. He sat back on the throne, propping his head with one hand, and said irritably, "Although that person won't take Mo'er's life directly, there's no guarantee that he will do something outrageous to her that would damage her reputation."
......
Three days later, in the capital of the Jiuli Dynasty, Gu Chi and the big black dog appeared on the streets.
Gu Chi was wearing a black and white Taoist robe with runes printed on it such as the Yin-Yang and Eight Diagrams. He held a whisk in one hand and a Taoist banner in the other, and his appearance was as divine as a jade.
Lao Hei was still wearing the same black robe, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, looking like a bandit.
The two walked into a restaurant and sat down at a window seat on the second floor.
"Didn't they say that a princess of the Jiuli Dynasty was going to choose a prince consort? Why is there no movement yet?" Gu Chi glanced at a canary standing on his shoulder.
"Chirp, chirp..." The canary chirped, and sent a telepathic message: "How should I know! I guess he doesn't want to recruit a prince consort anymore."
That’s right, this canary is Su Mo. Gu Chi didn’t want to reveal this trump card yet, so he cast a transformation spell on her before entering the capital of Jiuli.
"This is the capital of the Jiuli Dynasty. Not only are there many experts here, but there are also powerful masters at the Nascent Soul stage. You are only in the early stages of foundation building, and you think you can stir up trouble here? Forget it!"
Su Mo chirped, but Gu Chi just responded expressionlessly, saying, "If you keep nagging, I'll pull out your tongue first."
After arriving in the capital, Su Mo also felt more confident. He felt that Gu Chi would not dare to do this. He said, "Why don't you just let me go? Maybe I can ask my father to come forward and ask His Majesty the Emperor to return the person you want to you."
Gu Chi smiled and said, "You are so kind. Maybe as soon as I release you, you will bring a group of people to seek revenge on me."
At this point, Gu Chi snatched the canary from his shoulder, held it in his hand, and said, "Don't try to play any tricks on me. For safety reasons, I've had Lao Hei place 9981 restrictions on you. If anything unexpected happens to us, these 81 restrictions will be activated instantly, destroying you completely, leaving you beyond the reach of even the gods."
As soon as these words came out, Su Mo panicked and said, "How dare you! If I die, the consequences will not only affect you, but your entire Qian Kingdom will not be able to bear it!"
Gu Chi said, "You don't need to threaten me with this kind of thing. The purpose of our trip is only to bring back the bodies of the Sect Master and the elders. As long as our lives are not threatened, your life will not be in danger either, so I hope you won't make a mistake."
