Chapter 297: Beidi Kingdom, Luoyan City
Chapter 297: Beidi Kingdom, Luoyan City
"I am also in a dilemma about this matter. If you say that Cang Xuanye did such a treasonous thing, I don't believe it." Mu Wenxiang finally spoke, but as soon as he spoke, his tone suddenly changed: "But, there is no smoke without fire! We must investigate thoroughly."
The Minister of War, Duke Qing and others felt a chill in their hearts and their faces were gloomy. Although Mu Wenxiang said that he did not believe it, his last sentence clearly showed that he believed it!
Everyone on the Fourth Prince's side had a look of joy on their faces; their goal had been achieved.
However, at this moment, a cold snort spread throughout the hall: "Whether it is a crime or a fault, we will discuss it after the war. Currently, Cang Xuanye's whereabouts are unknown. The most urgent task is to find him, rather than punish him here."
The Grand Elder of the Holy Spirit Academy said something that immediately quieted the scene. This was an old antique with terrifying strength. Even the late emperor treated the Grand Elder with great respect.
The imperial censor who attacked Cang Xuanye gritted his teeth and replied: "Grand Elder, this is a matter of state, you..."
"What? Do you have any objections?" The Great Elder was sitting in a corner, not saying anything and no one noticed him. At this moment, he walked out of the corner, his eyes exuding an icy aura that made the censor tremble all over. That was the pressure from a strong man.
"I..." The censor wanted to say something.
But the elder's eyes were like sharp knives piercing into his body. Poof! The censor spat out a mouthful of blood and was seriously injured.
No one dared to speak now. Mu Wenxiang's eyes flickered, but he didn't say anything in the end. There was still a gap between him and this old antique, so it was not appropriate to have a dispute at the moment.
The Great Elder tried his best to protect Cang Xuanye. This was beyond everyone else's expectations, but the Minister of War and others were pleasantly surprised. At least Cang Xuanye's problem would be resolved in a fair manner.
However, the matter of finding Cang Xuanye still needs to be continued.
After the elder of the Lu family came out, he also ordered his men to pass on the message to find a woman named Feng Qingcheng. His grandson Lu An died at the hands of this girl, and now is the time for him to avenge his grandson.
On this day, more than a dozen teams secretly walked out of Lin'an City. They came from different forces, but their purpose was the same: to find the missing Cang Xuanye and Feng Qingcheng.
At the same time, in Danxia City, a week had passed.
There is still no trace of Cang Xuanye and Feng Qingcheng, but City Lord Wang Weian speculated that the two should have escaped into the Demonic Forest.
But the Demonic Forest is full of dangers. There are many terrifying creatures and things in it, and no one can feel at ease.
"I'm going to find them!"
Mu Tianjue wanted to leave Danxia City again, but was stopped by Zuo Yu and his senior brother.
"Don't worry. Cang Xuanye has reached the eighth-level Beastmaster level. He is capable of handling any situation. Little Junior Sister, you should be fine as long as you stay with him." The eldest senior brother consoled.
He was not talking nonsense. Although the Demonic Forest was dangerous, it was not the dead zone after all. As long as one was careful, there was still a chance of survival.
"Senior Brother is right. If you had gone in and they came back, wouldn't you have missed them? Would we then send people in to look for you? That would only make things more chaotic. Now we just have to defend Danxia City and wait for them to return!" Zuo Yu said with a smile.
This sentence actually worked. Mu Tianjue sighed. He was just too impatient. He naturally wouldn't care so much about Cang Xuanye. It was only that girl who made him uneasy and unable to even maintain the most basic calmness.
"No, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I can't just let it go." Mu Tianjue snorted coldly, murderous intent surging: "Cang Wuya, wait, I will give you a big gift."
Not only Mu Tianjue, but also Zuo Yu, the eldest senior brother and others were equally angry about this matter. They felt it necessary to fight back and teach the other party a lesson.
Cang Xuanye and Feng Qingcheng didn't know what was going on in the outside world, but they could guess a little. But there was nothing they could do, so they had to get out of Beidi Country as soon as possible.
The Beidi Kingdom has a vast territory, which is half the size of the Xuandu Kingdom.
Several prefecture cities close to the Line of Sky received the news within a day, posted portraits of Cang Xuanye and Feng Qingcheng, and blocked all major roads.
To this day, notices about the two of them are everywhere in the Northern Di Kingdom, and people are searching everywhere to capture them.
However, due to the great battle at the front, the interior was relatively empty, and the personnel in the blockade were mostly militiamen or soldiers from the provincial capital, who had never experienced the baptism of war and had no professional means.
Luoyan City.
This is one of the sixteen prefecture cities, covering an area of 1,800 miles. This prefecture city is quite prosperous, with a chamber of commerce stationed there, and is quite lively.
In a tavern by the window on the third floor, Cang Xuanye and Feng Qingcheng, two men dressed in gorgeous clothes and looking like wealthy businessmen, sat here drinking slowly. It had been the third day since they came here, and they did not move forward rashly, but disguised their identities and stayed in Luoyan City again.
Looking down at the street below, I saw teams of militiamen and patrolmen holding portraits passing by from time to time.
Cang Xuanye sighed, "If this continues, I'm afraid our identities will be exposed sooner or later. By then, the Northern Di Kingdom will not let us go."
Feng Qingcheng smiled faintly: "So what if I can't let it go? I was thinking, since it's so rare to come here, how can I return empty-handed."
Seeing her beautiful smile, Cang Xuanye felt very gentle in his heart, and he really enjoyed this rare peaceful time.
"You are planning to..." Cang Xuanye instantly guessed the thoughts of the beautiful girl in front of him.
"That's right! Aren't they conducting a strict investigation? It has become a stagnant pool of water, and if you want it to come back to life, this is what you have to do." Feng Qingcheng said as she picked up the water in the cup and made a metaphor, and finally put her crystal jade hand into the water and stirred it vigorously.
"Haha, I don't think this is your ultimate goal." Cang Xuanye smiled gently.
"That's right! It seems you already understand what I mean." Feng Qingcheng was stunned at first, then smiled. She didn't expect that this man could actually understand her inner thoughts.
"Do you dare?" Feng Qingcheng asked.
"Why not!" Cang Xuanye smiled knowingly, and the two raised their glasses and drank them all.
Night came to Luoyan City. A crescent moon hung high in the sky, casting a faint light.
It was already curfew, and there was no one else on the streets except the patrolling militia.
Many soldiers were transferred to the front line to fight, and the militia was activated to maintain internal law and order.
These are just cultivators with low cultivation levels, most of them are at the warrior level, slightly stronger than ordinary people.
But it is enough to maintain a provincial capital.
