Chapter 49: Encountering a City Closure
The carriage passed through the streets and alleys and headed straight for the towering and magnificent imperial city in the center of the city.
When they were about to arrive, a team of city guards quickly stepped forward to stop them.
Under the pressure of countless spears, the driver Lao Pang couldn't help but sweat two drops on his forehead. He quickly pulled the reins and stopped to be inspected.
He got out of the car, forced a smile, lowered his waist and walked forward, took out two silver soul coins from his sleeve, and calmly put them on the order and handed it over.
The captain's face turned grim after he touched it and he snorted coldly.
Before he could get angry, Lao Pang realized that it was not enough. He walked forward with a look of heartache, wiped the arrowhead with a handful, and stuffed a gold soul coin into it.
"Okay, everyone disperse." The captain nodded with satisfaction and waved to the many soldiers behind him.
Lao Pang smiled apologetically and raised his chin to the people standing guard around him, "Big brother, what's going on?"
"Last time I came here, I could admire the Imperial City from across the moat. Why can't we even get close to it now?"
The captain glanced around and whispered, "The fourth prince is missing. His Majesty has ordered the blockade of the imperial city and the academy for a search."
"Every household in Tiandou City must cooperate with the investigation, and now the Imperial City also prohibits all civilians from approaching."
As he spoke, he lowered his head and rubbed his fingers in front of his eyes. Seeing that his eyes were confused, he blinked again to give him a hint.
Lao Pang nodded repeatedly, and once again took out a gold soul coin and stuffed it into the other person's sleeve with heartache.
He didn't open it to look, but raised his hand to weigh it, and said with a smile: "You just entered the city, you are lucky enough to catch up. I just received an order that the outer city will also be blocked."
"Looking at your clothes, I know you are not from Tiandou City. Don't blame me for not reminding you. Leave now before the notice is delivered."
"Yes, yes, thank you for the reminder, brother."
After saying that, Lao Pang hurriedly returned to the car and pulled the reins to turn.
Of course, the destination is not the city gate.
A moment later -
Several people found a hotel to stay.
"I've been blocking avalanches for almost three months, and they just now reacted and decided to conduct a thorough investigation?" Feng Xuan couldn't help but laugh out loud.
I guess Xuexing started looking for it a long time ago, but never found it.
It goes without saying that the Soul Emperor and the two Soul Kings are the other party's subordinates. Now that they have lost contact, the fate of the avalanche is self-evident.
The charred area outside the city must have been discovered, but even Xue Beng, an eyewitness, didn't know his identity, so how could Xue Xing know what happened?
This farce is destined to be in vain.
"Then what about the Fourth Prince's matter was done by you, Xuan'er?" Guangling Douluo said casually while looking at the imperial city in the distance.
He sat on the window swaying his feet, holding a bag of caramel in his hand and putting a piece into his mouth from time to time.
Suddenly he realized what was happening, slapped his thigh, turned around and asked in surprise: "Doesn't that mean Xue'er's throne is secure now?"
"The second and third princes are both dead. Xue'er was definitely the heir to the throne. With your behavior, she is now the only one left."
"How about I take action to get rid of Xue Ye? Didn't big brother say that Xue Er should finish this mission as soon as possible?"
Feng Xuan pinched his brows helplessly and sighed.
It was clearly written in the letter that he could not force others, he could only persuade them, and the only things he could be fully responsible for were the affairs of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect.
"We'll see what she thinks after we meet her. After all, the old man said that the matter of the Tiandou throne should be handled according to her wishes."
Just as he finished speaking, Qingluan Douluo suddenly flew in from the window, and Guang Ling quickly moved back to avoid him.
"Third brother, can't you just go through the door?"
Qingluan glanced at the oil paper bag in his hand and snorted coldly, "Can't you change your character of liking to eat, drink and have fun? You are so old, and you still eat candy every day."
Seeing that the other party stretched out his hand as if trying to snatch it, Guang Ling quickly put it behind his back and put it into the storage soul guide on his wrist.
"Okay, Third Grandpa, have you contacted Thorny Porpoise Douluo? Where are we going to meet?"
"He said that the young master has been under close surveillance in the imperial city these past two days, and he will see you after the storm has passed."
Feng Xuan nodded in response, frowning slightly.
Was Qian Renxue reported by Xue Xing? She didn't know what happened, so she must be having a headache. She didn't do anything, but she was suspected.
Things happened just as he thought, at this moment in Tiandou Imperial City.
A young man in an elegant suit was sitting at the table with a gloomy face.
Hidden in the shadow behind him was a tall man.
"Elder Snake Spear, have you found out about the avalanche?"
Hearing this, She Long shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Your Highness, it's been too long. This guy has been missing for almost three months. The only information I can find is that the Soul Sect guards who followed him are all dead."
"Also, he went to the Prince's Mansion once that day and took away a Soul Emperor and two Soul Kings."
"Besides that? Where did you go after that?"
She Long spread his hands and said, "That's all. I only learned this in Xue Xing's mansion."
Strangely enough, no one knew where the avalanche took the three people and what they were doing.
He used intimidation and inducement everywhere and found out all this.
Qian Renxue sighed deeply.
He had originally planned to keep Xue Beng alive to clear himself of suspicion in the deaths of the second and third princes, but he also died, and someone with ulterior motives blamed him for the deaths.
But fortunately, he is the prince and is not a big suspect.
The respectful and affectionate persona that he pretends to be in front of others is not fake.
Qian Renxue felt a great debt to him because he killed his brother in order to avoid exposing his identity, so she was really nice to him.
I had to clean up the mess many times for the ridiculous things he did, and I even felt a little annoyed doing it.
In the eyes of all the officials and Emperor Xue Ye, this behavior was like that of an elder brother being like a father, and it frightened almost everyone except Prince Xue Xing.
But the prince went missing in the capital, and Prince Xuexing made a big fuss about it.
Xue Ye wanted to protect his own safety, so he refused to leave the imperial city, while Xue Xing kept adding fuel to the fire and wanted to investigate him.
Just as he was lowering his head, a breeze blew by and there was another person beside She Long.
The man bowed slightly and said respectfully, "Young Master."
Qian Renxue nodded in response.
"Elder Thornfish, how is the messenger?"
Cixue looked frightened, "I didn't see him, but the one who met me was the Third Lord."
"what?"
Hearing this, Qian Renxue raised her eyebrows, a little surprised. How could the messenger be so shameless? He actually asked the worshiper to protect and pass on the message.
Seeing that his expression was not right, "What's wrong that makes you look like this."
So Cixue told Qingluan Douluo everything that had just happened when he met him.
At that time, they said that they couldn't meet for the time being because of the avalanche. Qingluan thought that those guys in Tiandou Imperial City were going to attack the young master.
Without saying a word, the spirit possessed him and planned to rush in head-on to rescue the young master.
Fortunately, I was smart enough to stop the other party, otherwise it would have been a big deal.
Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Third Grandpa is always very concerned about my affairs, so it's normal for him to be a little excited."
As a child who grew up in the offering hall, she is familiar with several of the offerings.
If she hadn't wanted to prove to that woman that she was not incompetent, she would probably still be in the worship hall.
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but recall her childhood.
