Chapter 180 Arresting people
Chapter 180 Arresting people
Those who can sit here are all highly respected people in the nine tribes, either leaders or princes. How could they submit to Qin Yunxuan, a spineless person who sells out his master for fame and betrays his country for survival?
So when they find an opportunity, they will give Qin Yunxuan a lesson.
Jirike just watched and smiled without saying anything. He did this to let Qin Yunxuan know that here, he had no choice but to rely on him, so that he would not have any second thoughts.
Qin Yunxuan knew what was going on. Hearing this, he stood up and said, "I know what you are thinking, but I have already told you everything I know. Otherwise, you wouldn't be standing on Dajing's territory, eating Dajing's food and mocking me here."
Before he finished speaking, everyone at the table changed color and looked at him with increasingly unfriendly eyes.
Qin Yunxuan didn't care. He turned around and bowed to Ji Ri Ke. "Your Majesty, please understand. Although Prince Duan and I are brothers, my father has many sons. Prince Duan and I are not close. He has always been a loner. I know very little about him."
Upon hearing this, Jirik couldn't help showing a disappointed expression.
"But..." Qin Yunxuan changed the subject, "Prince Duan treats his princess very well. The two of them are inseparable."
"Oh?"
Jirik's eyes sparkled, and he became interested. "Really?"
"How dare I lie to the king?" Qin Yunxuan coughed twice again, his voice becoming lighter. "The Princess Duan is also a remarkable woman. If she hadn't forced me, Dajing wouldn't have been left without a single drop of my feet."
"You only see the threat from Prince Duan, but you don't know that this princess is just as powerful. If you want to completely defeat Prince Duan, you have to start with the princess."
"The princess is being protected in the city. We can't even get into Yongcheng. How can we start?"
Jirik was puzzled.
Qin Yunxuan curved his lips and smiled, his eyes were solemn, and his dark pupils revealed a frightening indifference.
"If the king trusts me, I have my own way."
……
That night, food and fodder sent by the imperial court and reinforcements from the east and west, totaling 80,000 people, arrived.
Dajing's morale was greatly boosted, everyone rushed to tell each other, and the city was bustling with activity.
The soldiers were finally able to have a full meal, and many of them cried while eating.
Qin Yunxian led his men to count the food and reorganize the troops. Rong Heqing was tired after a busy day, so he went back to rest.
Because of the war these days, they have to stay alert at all times, so Qin Yunxian and Rong Heqing sleep separately.
The main reason was that Qin Yunxian was afraid of an accidental discharge of the weapon, and also afraid of indulging in the gentleness of the world and not being able to get up.
Moreover, he slept very little and had to get up at any time, and he was afraid of disturbing Rong and Qing's rest, so although the two lived in the same courtyard, they rarely had the chance to meet.
Tonight was no exception.
When Rong Heqing came back, she was so sleepy that she could hardly open her eyes. After washing up, she sat on the edge of the bed and was about to take off her shoes when she suddenly became aware of the change in the atmosphere in the room.
It seemed as if something emerged from the darkness.
It was a mysterious feeling that could not be explained rationally.
Rong Heqing subconsciously stopped, looked up and carefully looked at every corner of the room.
[Xiao Jiujiu, do you feel something is wrong? ]
999 heard her tone was not right, so he didn't give a perfunctory answer and carefully checked the room. There was nothing wrong at first, until it detected the bedside, and the system suddenly warned, "Host, get up! There is something wrong with the bed!"
【What? ! 】
Almost at the moment when 999 finished speaking, a black hole suddenly appeared beside Rong Heqing.
It was only the size of a fist at first, but in the blink of an eye it became as tall as a person!
Rong Heqing didn't think about anything, he just stood up and ran, "Come on——"
Her mouth was covered tightly and she couldn't make any sound!
The more dangerous the situation, the faster her reaction was. She tilted her head back and thrust hard, while stabbing her elbow backwards heavily.
However, her elbow didn't touch anything, and the hand covering her didn't loosen at all.
Rong Heqing was shocked: [What the hell is this? ]
999 was extremely anxious. [It looked like some kind of transformation prop. Damn it, how could he have so many props? ]
[Help me call the people outside——]
Before Rong Heqing could finish her words, she felt that she had lost contact with the system in her brain. The next moment, she felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck. Her eyes went dark and she fell down.
Before landing, a hand reached out from the black hole, grabbed her waist and pulled her in.
The black hole closed back to its original state in an instant, leaving no trace.
The people patrolling outside didn't know what happened in the house until the next day when Chenyu came to look for Rong Heqing and discovered that there was no one in the house. After asking around but not seeing her, they quickly reported it to Qin Yunxian.
Qin Yunxian immediately sent people to look for him. Everyone went out together and almost turned Yongcheng upside down, but there was no trace of Rong Heqing.
Rong Ji gritted his teeth and said, "How could such a big person disappear? Didn't you notice anything unusual?"
He questioned the guards who were on guard last night. The four guards knelt on the ground in shame and wished they could die to atone for their sins.
Chenyu shook her head. "The princess is not a pushover. She always carries hidden weapons and poisons for self-defense. If someone really wanted to do something bad, why would she just follow them without any resistance? There must be something fishy going on."
"No matter what the trick is, the most urgent thing is to find the princess." Chu Suifeng clenched the sword and said sternly: "I will look for it again."
"and many more--"
Yuan Jin stopped him and said, "Yongcheng is so big. Our aimless search is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's a waste of time and effort and useless."
"What should we do then?" Chu Suifeng frowned, "Should we just sit and wait?"
Yuan Jin looked at Qin Yunxian who had remained silent, and whispered, "Yes, just wait."
Qin Yunxian looked up at him, and when he spoke his voice was hoarse as if he hadn't had a drink of water for several days.
"Do you think they have other intentions and will definitely exchange He Qing?"
"Yes." Yuan Jin analyzed calmly, "The other party secretly kidnapped the princess at this time, instead of taking her life directly, most likely they want to exchange her with us. They will take action soon. We can continue to look for the whereabouts of the princess, but we can't focus on finding her."
Everyone looked at each other, thoughtfully.
Rong Ji pursed his lips, clenched his hands and paced in the hall, "It's self-evident who kidnapped the princess at this time."
Qin Yunxian closed his eyes and slowly stood up. He swayed slightly when he stood up. He quickly held onto the handrail to steady himself. He said calmly, "I'll go to the tower to take a look. You continue to send people to monitor the movements in the city. Report any abnormalities immediately."
After saying this, he walked straight out of the hall. As soon as he walked down two steps, he saw someone running in hurriedly, "Your Majesty! There is news about the princess!"
Qin Yunxian immediately went down the stairs and grabbed the man without letting him salute, "Where is it?!"
The visitor burst into tears and gnashed his teeth as he said, "It's in Jirik's hands."
"Ji Ri Ke brought his men to challenge the prince and General An, and demanded that they take off their armor, surrender, and open the city gates. Otherwise... otherwise, the princess will be killed in public!"
