There was a trace of envy and yearning in the eyes of the fishman general, but then it quickly disappeared and turned into anger.
"That shameful thief actually emptied most of the king's treasure house! All the valuable things were swept away by him, and the king will not let it go!
It will soon pay for its mistakes."
When Xu Chunniang listened, she couldn't help but be frightened by Qiongqi's boldness, and then anger welled up in her heart.
Qiongqi is currently using Little Orange’s body. If something unexpected happens, wouldn’t Little Orange accompany it to the end of the play?
We must find this guy as soon as possible, solve it, and bring the little orange back!
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and said to the fishman general.
"That Qiongqi is truly abominable, and I am deeply saddened by what happened to your king.
Let's do this, I will follow you and help you find that Qiongqi together."
There was a trace of hesitation on the fishman general's face, wondering whether he should agree to this or not.
After all, this matter was of great importance, and the king had repeatedly told him that he must handle this matter well.
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, "I have a close relationship with your king, otherwise I wouldn't risk offending Jiao Palace by coming to the banquet.
What, you can’t trust me?”
The fishman general shook his head quickly, "Of course I don't dare to doubt my lord, but you have come all the way and are our king's distinguished guest, so how can I bother you to interfere in this matter?"
Xu Chunniang relaxed her brows slightly and nodded slightly.
"Your king's business is my business, no matter what bothers you or not, the matter is settled.
I'm just following you. If you find that Qiongqi, the credit that you deserve will still be yours."
The fishman general was overjoyed. With the help of such an adult, this matter will definitely go smoothly.
"Thank you, sir. When I find that Qiongqi, I hope you can speak kindly to me in front of the king."
Xu Chunniang nodded indifferently, "This is natural. It's better to set off quickly to find Qiongqi."
Originally, according to the plan of the fishman general, all the sea tribes in the city were out, and it only took a day or two to capture the poor creature.
Now with the help of adults, the speed will only be faster.
However, after searching for four or five days outside the city, he could not find any trace of the Qiongqi, and he couldn't help but become anxious.
If he fails to complete the king's mission, he will be the first to be unlucky.
Xu Chunniang followed the fishman general closely, watching his actions in the past few days, and frowned secretly.
This fishman general's ability to dispatch troops and generals is quite good. He arranged all the sea tribes in the city in an orderly manner and did not miss any place.
Logically speaking, something should indeed be discovered.
But the fact is that after four or five days of searching, they came back without success.
The fishman general couldn't help but become anxious, walking back and forth as if thinking about something, and occasionally looking at Xu Chunniang who was silent at the side.
However, this gentleman never said a single word.
He frowned, and a bold idea suddenly popped into his mind.
No, no, no...
The fishman general shook his head, trying to expel the thoughts from his mind.
Although the Lord is here to help him, what is his identity and how can he force the Lord to do things for him?
But...if he didn't ask the Lord to take action, he wouldn't be able to report this matter to the king.
The fishman general hesitated for a long time, and finally tentatively spoke to Xu Chunniang.
"Sir, I have a plan, maybe I can find Qiongqi."
"Oh, tell me?"
Xu Chunniang's face was calm, but that was just on the surface. In fact, she was more worried about Little Orange's safety than these people, but she couldn't show it.
"I searched everywhere outside the city for strange things but couldn't find them. There was only one possibility."
When the fishman general said this, his expression showed a hint of certainty, "It must have escaped to the south, to the boundaries of Jiao Palace!"
Xu Chunniang's eyes showed a hint of solemnity. In the eyes of these sea people, the Dragon Palace was countless times more powerful than the Mirage City.
"Is Jiao Palace also nearby?"
Seeing that your Excellency didn't even know where the Jiao Palace was, the fishman general showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, but then it quickly became clear.
Your Excellency once said that she had been in seclusion for many years and only came out recently. Perhaps it was because she did not pay attention to these things.
"Becoming an Immortal in One Step"
The fishman general explained, "Actually, the Dragon Palace is very far away from here. However, the territory of the Dragon Palace is very large, and it borders Mirage City.
If you go south a short distance, you will reach the boundary of Jiao Palace."
Originally, more than three hundred years ago, Mirage City and Jiao Palace had a good relationship and had close contacts.
However, ever since the king and Jiao Palace had an unpleasant quarrel more than 300 years ago, the relationship between the two parties quickly turned sour and gradually developed to where it is today.
In his opinion, it was unwise for the king to offend Jiao Palace.
But he has no say in the king's decision. He should just do his duty honestly.
The fishman general sighed and searched for the missing person but couldn't find it. He highly suspected that the guy had escaped to the south.
However, Jiao Palace is very powerful, and the people there don't want to see them. Even if they know this, they can't pursue them.
"Sir, I have a humble request. If what I say next offends you, please don't blame me."
Xu Chunniang turned to look at the fishman general, "Please tell me and listen."
There was a hint of joy in the eyes of the fishman general. The Lord did not refuse directly, so there was a chance for this matter.
"To be honest, I want to ask for your help to take a trip to the south. Your Excellency has a distinguished status and is not from Mirage City, so those people will not dare to stop you!"
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment, but she could not find Qiongqi everywhere. Staying in this mirage city was just a waste of time. She could indeed go south and try her luck.
In ten more days, the mirage will wake up. Taking this opportunity, we can escape from this mirage city smoothly.
Having made up her mind, Xu Chunniang nodded slightly towards the fishman general.
"This is a good way. I will go to the south to explore the road first and see the situation."
The fishman general was overjoyed, "If someone steps forward, it will be easy to catch that Qiongqi thief."
Xu Chunniang didn't say much. She took the sea map from the fishman general and headed south.
After the fishman general watched her leave, he suddenly thought of something and his heart suddenly skipped a beat.
The master said he was looking for Qiongqi, but he didn't tell him when he would come back after finding the thief Qiongqi?
If the king wakes up and his lord has not returned yet, what should he do?
Otherwise, he would send a few more teams to the south to try their luck and see if they could break through the blockade at Jiao Palace and sneak over.
If you're lucky, you might be able to find Qiongqi before the adults do.
He decided in his heart and began to personally select the elite.
While the fishman generals were busy selecting elite soldiers, Xu Chunniang had gradually moved away from Mirage City and headed south.
