The air seemed to be completely dead. Outside the door, Long Eleven and Long Twelve lowered their heads, not daring to go in even half a step.
The deathly silence cast a gloomy cloud over everyone's heart that could not be dispersed.
I don't know how long it took, but Zhan Qingcheng suddenly waved his hand, and the sheets and clothes instantly burned.
Yu Jingfeng was stunned for a while. He had long known that the prince's power was unfathomable, but he didn't know that it was even more terrifying than he imagined!
In the blink of an eye, the things were burned to ashes. Zhan Qingcheng walked out the door with no expression on his face.
Yu Jingfeng hurriedly followed out in fear.
Outside the door, Long Eleven and Long Twelve immediately saluted cautiously: "Your Majesty, how many people have been caught."
The sheets and clothes just now were sent back by Long Shiyi, and Long Twelve also knew about them.
One can imagine how angry the prince would be after seeing this.
But now that the prince came out, he didn't mean to be angry at all. It's just that he was extremely cold, so cold that he looked like Shura, making people dare not look at him more.
It might be okay if the prince gets angry, but if he doesn't show any signs at all, then it would be really scary!
"Your Majesty, they refused to say a word and have already committed suicide by taking poison." Long Twelve was filled with fear.
Zhan Qingcheng walked to the bodies of those people and looked around. Everything around them was terrifyingly silent.
Long Yi came from not far away and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, I didn't find anything useful."
It looks like a place where ordinary people live, with more than a dozen houses, a martial arts training ground, and some signs of defense around it.
However, for a place where the main character can hide in seclusion, this kind of neither up nor down place is a bit unusual.
"This is by no means their real hiding place." Suddenly, Zhan Qingcheng said coldly.
"Prince?" Yu Jingfeng and Long Yi looked at each other, a little confused.
Yu Jingfeng said again: "Your Majesty, what did you find?"
Zhan Qingcheng didn't speak. He took another look at the surrounding environment and said, "Long Yi, lead a team of people to continue searching the mountain stream. I suspect that they still have a real stronghold."
"Eleven or twelve, continue to lead people to search the entire imperial city and guard every entrance and exit."
"Didn't the prince say that they still have a hiding place? Why do you think they will leave the imperial city?" Yu Jingfeng still couldn't figure it out. Tonight, he couldn't keep up with the prince's rhythm.
Is it because he was too angry that the prince himself lost his sense of proportion?
However, Yu Jingfeng did not dare to say anything, for fear that he would say something wrong and make the prince feel even more uncomfortable.
"If there is news that they left the Imperial City today, then the real stronghold near here must be found by me."
In front of my eyes, the white figure passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was gone without a trace.
Now that the prince is gone, he must personally trace the whereabouts of Miss Jiuer, but what did the prince mean by what he just said?
If there is news of those people leaving today, must we find the real stronghold?
"If those people deliberately spread the news that they left the imperial city and would rather expose their whereabouts, then this stronghold must be of great significance."
Long Yi offered his hand to Yu Jingfeng: "The prince will be handed over to Master Yu for protection, let's go!"
Yu Jingfeng reacted suddenly and immediately led others to follow Zhan Qingcheng's footsteps.
I see!
When the prince saw Feng Jiuer being humiliated, he could still be so calm and considerate! This was definitely something Yu Jingfeng could not have imagined.
I originally thought that he would really lose control.
In the mountain stream, there are a few more figures.
They haven't gone to the bottom of the cliff yet, but according to the Ninth Prince's expectation, those people will definitely leave the city today.
Then there may be many secrets hidden at the bottom of this cliff.
Long and his men went to search, and I'm afraid it would be impossible to go down directly, unless there was another secret passage!
What Yu Jingfeng is most worried about now is the mood of the Ninth Prince. What is the prince thinking and why can he be so calm? He still can't figure it out.
As for why Zhan Qingcheng was still calm, it was because he knew that Jiu'er was at least alive and well.
Even if... she is insulted or bullied, as long as she is alive, everything can still be repaired.
He just wants her to live!
…
"The Ninth Prince ordered Long and his men to continue searching at the bottom of the cliff?" Ye Luosha couldn't believe his ears when he heard the spy's report.
"How does he know there are other places and still believe so firmly? Did our people reveal something?"
Could it be that they had deliberately spread a little information about their whereabouts to let the Ninth Prince's people know that they were about to leave the city?
Why is Zhan Qingcheng still staring at the bottom of the cliff?
"Probably not. When my subordinates rushed there cautiously, they found that all the brothers had committed suicide by taking poison."
None of their brothers in Ye Ming Palace is a traitor. They are all loyal to the Palace Master and will never betray the Palace Master or the Young Palace Master!
Ye Luosha looked at Elder Shi and frowned.
She ordered people to send the sheets and Feng Jiuer's clothes to the Ninth Prince. One purpose was to humiliate him, and the other purpose was to make him become chaotic because of his anger.
In this way, no flaws will be discovered.
But why is he more calm? Could it be that she really underestimated the God of War Prince of Beimu Country?
"Elder Shi, what should we do now?" They have not left until now, just waiting for a suitable opportunity.
They have many ways to get out of the city. Ye Luosha wants to make sure that his stronghold has not been discovered, otherwise, he will not be able to leave safely.
What's more, if they stay in the city, they will make the people in Zhan Qingcheng even more nervous.
Once his whereabouts are completely exposed, he will probably have to flee continuously in the following days.
Unless Zhan Qingcheng gives up Feng Jiuer.
In the budget of Elder Shi and Ye Luosha, Zhan Qingcheng was definitely not someone who would give up so easily, but now that he had the heavy responsibility of going on an expedition, it was absolutely impossible for him to focus all his energy on this matter.
As a prince, he cannot ignore the life and death of the people.
Therefore, the Ninth Prince’s personal pursuit would only take a day or two at most.
Today is the first official day, and at most tomorrow and tomorrow night will be included. On the third day, I am afraid that even the Holy One will be alarmed and ordered to go on an expedition.
They must do something in these two days, otherwise it will be extremely difficult to deal with Zhan Qingcheng when he returns to the army.
Elder Shi and Ye Luosha basically had the same idea. He said, "Don't worry, Palace Master, that secret passage was discovered accidentally by the Young Palace Master. It was just a coincidence."
"Young Palace Master is very skilled in martial arts, but he hasn't been able to go down yet. Long Yi's skill is far inferior to that of Young Palace Master, so naturally he can't go down either."
"As for the secret passage, it is a matter of chance. Long Yi's people may not be able to find it. The palace master does not need to worry about the stronghold for the time being."
