Chapter 585 Speculation

"But now the winners are the kings and the losers are the bandits. I can't kill you, but I can leave a nail that will make you worry and keep you awake at night, so that you know what pain is."

"To be a nail, he must be strong enough." Tuoba Yu narrowed his eyes, "But you, a great wizard, have hurriedly fled from Xijinyun Kingdom since the day you were captured. Do you think such a person can be a nail that gives me a headache? He is just a coward."

"To be honest, this great wizard has never made any moves since I returned to Xijinyun Country for more than a month. He even didn't have time to clean up his mansion when he left, leaving behind a lot of poisons and holy water."

"But he packed everything neatly, and there was a blank piece of letter paper underneath. On the letter paper was a piece of paper from the most famous paper shop in Beilun County. The intention behind this is self-evident."

Seeing that the Xijinyun Kingdom was about to have a new ruler, he couldn't wait to develop the desire to curry favor with him.

The great wizard is not loyal to him alone, but is only loyal to power, glory and wealth.

Tuoba Duan gritted his teeth, thinking of the various actions of the great wizard after he came to his side, and couldn't help but laugh at himself.

Yes, since the great wizard arrived in Xijinyun Kingdom, he never told him that he would be loyal to Xijinyun Kingdom. He only mentioned to him that he had something that could help him get to the top.

If you think about it carefully, he spared no effort to help him probably in order to push him to the throne of the king so that he could enjoy the honor of being second only to the emperor.

As long as he could enjoy such wealth and glory, why would he care who the ruler was?

Tuoba Duan thought for a long time, and finally looked at Tuoba Yu, "If I tell the truth, you can catch him and bring him to me?"

It would be most appropriate for him to go to the underworld with such a person.

"If I can catch him, of course." Tuoba Yu agreed very happily.

"In that case, I won't hide it anymore." Tuoba Duan coughed again, and after a long time he calmed down and said, "It's just that the origin of this great wizard is mysterious, and what I know is limited..."

…

When Tuoba Yu came out of the Heavenly Prison, the moon had already set and the stars in the sky were much sparser than before.

Feeling extremely tired, Tuoba Yuqi returned to the palace, with a lot on his mind in the carriage.

All the words that Tuoba Duan had just said seemed to still echo in his ears, making Tuoba Yu quite annoyed at the moment.

The great wizard came to Xijinyun Kingdom a year and a half ago. The people who escorted the great wizard were the subordinates of Prince Yue of the Qin Kingdom at that time.

Tuoba Duan has been secretly colluding with Prince Yue, exchanging intelligence with him, and has great trust in him.

According to the person who sent the great wizard, the great wizard is from southern Xinjiang, is good at making poisons and using medicines, and can help Tuoba Duan achieve great things.

Tuoba Duan tested the great wizard's ability at that time and found that he was indeed a capable person, so he kept him by his side. The great wizard played a huge role in the following days, and Tuoba Duan also respected him very much.

However, the great wizard always wore a mask and never showed his true face to anyone. Tuoba Duan had never seen his true appearance, nor did he know what kind of person he was or how old he was.

Although this great wizard was sent by the Prince of Yue, it is not known whether he is a Qin citizen.

But Tuoba Duan mentioned an extremely important matter, that is, the great wizard had a house where he lived on the border between Xijinyun Kingdom and Daqin Kingdom. Tuoba Duan had sent people to secretly investigate and found out about it earlier. The great wizard probably didn't know that he knew about this.

The great wizard fled at this time, intending to protect himself, and he would probably hide there.

The next morning, after everyone set out, Tuoba Yu told He Yanxiu about the great wizard.

He Yanxiu heard this and nodded, "I see."

Seeing that he was not too surprised or surprised, Tuoba Yu was a little surprised. "Minister He's reaction at this time makes me a little confused."

When he first heard about this, he was very surprised. However, as a Qin person, He Yanxiu was not too surprised when he learned that the great wizard was sent by the King of Yue of Qin...

"To be honest with you, my Lord, I had some guesses about this person's identity, but I was not sure. Now that you said this, I am more certain."

He Yanxiu said, "But this matter is still very strange. We need to catch this great wizard and see his true face before we can confirm it."

After all, the person he suspected should have died more than a year and a half ago.

He is still alive now, and even has such ability...

It's a bit strange.

"Yes." Tuoba Yu nodded, "We need to send someone to the residence that Tuoba Duan mentioned as soon as possible to see if the so-called great wizard is still there."

He Yanxiu didn't dare to delay and only called Du Song to lead a team of secret guards to look for the person at the place where Tuoba Yu said.

They continued their journey to Seorak Palace as planned.

The weather at this time was even colder than when I sent Tuoba Yu to Beilun County more than a month ago. There was heavy snow on the way, so we had to stop for a few days. We continued on our journey when the weather cleared and the snow melted.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

After more than ten days of this effort, they had only traveled half the distance.

In order to reach Seorak Palace as soon as possible, after the snow melted and they could walk, everyone traveled day and night, not daring to delay even a little.

In order to facilitate the journey, the group did not drive a carriage, but rode on horseback. Such a high-intensity journey made Su Yujin's face full of fatigue, and he yawned constantly even in broad daylight.

"Can you still hold on?" He Yanxiu was a little worried.

"Not bad." Su Yujin said, "The horse wasn't walking very fast, so it wasn't particularly tiring."

While saying this, Su Yujin yawned again.

He Yanxiu laughed and said, "You always say I'm stubborn. Today it's my turn to be stubborn. My eyelids are about to close, but I still insist that it's okay."

"Since you are so sleepy, you should take a rest for a while."

Take a break?

Su Yujin tilted her head as she listened to He Yanxiu's words.

She is riding a horse now, how can she take a break?

While Su Yujin was puzzled, He Yanxiu had already reached out his hand to her.

Almost in an instant, He Yanxiu had lifted up her arms, then lifted her whole body and placed her on the back of his horse.

He Yanxiu just let Su Yujin sit sideways in front of him. He held the reins with one hand and held the petite Su Yujin in his arms with the other hand. He even used his cloak to wrap Su Yujin tightly.

For a moment, Su Yujin lay in He Yanxiu's warm embrace, like a baby in swaddling clothes, with only her little head sticking out.
