Chapter 270 Urgent Report

The Left Deputy General led the Azure Dragon Army to escort the captured rebels from Canhai Prefecture back to Chongtai Third Prison.

Holding Zhongli Que's Listening Wind Ruler in his hand, Su Feng looked at the communication interface that hadn't been closed yet, and could tell that Chu Jin wanted to find a flaw in the Listening Wind Ruler.

It's unclear exactly when they set their sights on Zhongli Que.

When Su Feng arrived, he used the Wind Listening Ruler given to him by Yu Sui to locate Chi Yan and Chu Jin.

He set up a sound barrier in advance, preventing Chu Jin from noticing the Azure Dragon Army's approach in time.

The Qinglong Army's capture of rebels today was a large-scale operation, with no attempt to conceal it, attracting much attention.

The Golden Serpent was originally guarding the clinic, but it rushed over because Elder Yan was attacking the rebel sorcerers of Canhai Prefecture. It was caught in a diversionary tactic and could not return. At the critical moment, it sent a message back to Chu Jin, but it still couldn't make it back in time.

When Chu Jin was captured, it was initially thought that Su Feng had found him by following the location of the Listening Wind Ruler. However, after hearing what the Left Deputy General said, it became clear that the clues were actually obtained from the rebels in Canhai Prefecture.

Who else is secretly spying on her and repeatedly ruining her plans?

Chu Jin recalled a night a few months ago when she was attacked by a Yin-Yang sorcerer who emerged from the Heavenly Secrets Technique of Swallowing Shadows on her way back to the clinic. She hadn't encountered him since, and no one had been able to find any useful information about him.

Did it start from that time?

The Chongtai Three Prisons are gloomy and terrifying, filled with large-scale magical barriers.

The imprisoned sorcerers of the lowest rank would be fitted with an energy-extinguishing chain. A thin, red iron chain was wrapped around their necks, and seven thin, black talismans were pasted around their necks to form a seal, preventing them from mobilizing the five elements.

Although Chu Jin was young and already possessed a Divine Soul Core, demonstrating exceptional talent, he couldn't withstand the combined attack of the Azure Dragon Army. With dozens or even hundreds of military strategists attacking simultaneously, no one could withstand the sheer force of the sword spirits' encirclement and annihilation.

She was injured at the clinic and her vital energy was insufficient. Now that she was imprisoned and sealed, she had even less strength to resist. She could only look at everything in the prison with disgust, her anger burning even brighter.

The prison guard swung the extinguishing chain like a whip, and Chu Jin, who was lagging behind, was pulled by the force of the chain and thrown into the cubicle.

She fell to the cold, hard ground, her head unexpectedly hitting the ground and bleeding.

However, the prison guards didn't even glance at her. They hoisted her up from the beam, her feet off the ground, pulling on her arms, then closed the door and turned away, continuing their patrol of the prison with a blank expression, waiting for the generals to come and interrogate her.

Chu Jin had never been so disheveled.

From childhood to adulthood, she had everything she wanted. Even during her time at the top of Mount Luo, Madam Su was carefully protected and cared for.

After faking her death, Chu Jin was caught up with by the Nangong family not long after being taken away by Mr. Zhou. Although she was forced to leave with her mother, she gradually accepted the situation with her father by her side.

Perhaps it was from that time that Chu Jin began to believe that she was special.

She is Nangong Ming's child, and of course she will return to the Nangong family openly and legitimately someday in the future.

She shouldn't have gone back in such a sorry state after her plans failed time and time again!

Chongtai Third Prison is under the jurisdiction of the military, and the charges are related to the rebels' rebellion. Perhaps the person who plotted against her behind the scenes will take advantage of the recent Lan Poison incident to frame her as a Lan Corpse.

If she were just an ordinary doctor, she would surely die.

The only way to escape Chongtai Three Prisons is through the Nangong family.

Chu Jin was truly unwilling to accept this.

Her cheeks were covered in sweat, her throat was dry, and her lips were beginning to crack. Looking up at the flames burning ahead, Chu Jin thought of Wenren Xu.

That man with reddish eyes and a smile that always made him seem alluring and unforgettable.

He is very capable. Whenever he goes on a mission, no matter how difficult the situation or how powerful the opponent, he always remains calm and in control of the situation.

Chu Jin learned a lot from Wenren Xu.

This traitor.

Chu Jin could not accept Wenren Xu's betrayal. What she hated most was that Wenren Xu deliberately let Geng Hanfu go, allowing Geng Hanfu to bring back the news of his killing of Qin Chongxue and tell her in person.

Wenren Xu wanted Chu Jin to know that he was the one who did it.

This provocation was like adding fuel to the fire, fueling an unyielding hatred within Chu Jin. This hatred fueled her emotions, causing her anger to surge uncontrollably; she felt compelled to do something to ignite it.

But now she can do nothing but wait in humiliation in Chongtai Third Prison, waiting for the Nangong family to clean up the mess she left behind.

The Prince of Nangong's Mansion.

Lady Hui and her friends returned home today after a month-long trip.

As soon as the sedan chair landed, Madam Hui came out with a smile. She saw the gate of the Prince's Mansion open and a beautiful woman in blue dress walked out.

Madam Hui raised an eyebrow slightly, looking at Madam Su with a half-smile: "Isn't this Madam Su? You look so anxious, where are you going?"

Madam Su was already worried about the Azure Dragon Army imprisoning Chu Jin in the Chongtai Third Prison. When she saw Madam Hui smiling with ill intent, she immediately remembered that it was Su Feng who led the arrest at the clinic, and her expression turned cold.

Madam Hui wasn't afraid of Madam Su's sudden cold face. After all, this woman had never been kind to the Prince's mansion in all these years, so she was used to it.

"Madam Hui." Before getting into the carriage, Madam Su turned around and looked down at Madam Hui, her words clearly laced with sarcasm. "Instead of spending your time traveling, you should spend more time disciplining the Second Prince, so that you don't forget when he might anger the Prince."

Lady Hui was not pleased to hear this: "Why should someone who doesn't even care about their own children be so concerned about disciplining other people's children? Does Lady Su want to ask me for advice on how to raise the princess?"

Madam Su was stung by her opening words. Thinking of her eldest daughter, she turned cold and stopped talking. She then got into the carriage and headed towards the Nangong family mansion.

Lady Hui was also unhappy and stormed into the Prince's mansion, saying, "I just got back and this happened. What bad luck!"

She hadn't taken two steps when she turned back, frowning as she asked, "Did something happen to Feng'er in the capital?"

The steward of the Prince's mansion told Lady Hui what had happened that day, and that the Second Prince had gone to Shuiyang Mountain to look for someone again.

Lady Hui sat in her fragrant courtyard and sighed inwardly when she learned that Su Feng had gone to see that girl Zhong Li Que again.

She knew the pain of unrequited love in young men, having experienced it herself before, so she could understand Su Feng now.

Besides, the prince is so intelligent and knows his children very well. It's impossible that he couldn't see through Feng'er's intentions. Going to save Zhongli Que was something he expected, so why would he anger him?

Lady Hui recalled what Lady Su had said in front of the Prince's mansion, and suddenly her eyelids twitched. She asked, "What did you say was that female doctor's name?"

Steward Qiu replied, "Her name is Chu Jin. She is known as the Little Medical Sage of the Capital. She has excellent medical skills and has been in contact with many prominent families in the capital. She even treated Madam Su last time."

What's there to care about with a female doctor?

Could it be that she thinks this female doctor resembles her eldest daughter?

Madam Hui rolled her eyes and asked again, "Where was Madam Su going just now?"

Steward Qiu replied, "We're going to see the old lady."

Madam Hui: "For that female doctor?"

Steward Qiu said with difficulty, "I don't know that, but it was indeed after the incident that Madam Su began to take action."

Upon hearing this, Madam Hui had a bad feeling.

Su Xing actually dared to go to the old lady; that's not a matter of resemblance, that female doctor is probably...

Madam Hui suddenly stood up from her chair: "Get ready, find the gift I brought for the old lady, and come with me to the old house."

Just as she was about to leave, she turned back to Steward Qiu and said, "Send someone to keep an eye on the Chongtai Third Prison. Tell me immediately when the Second Prince returns, and also tell him to come back to see me right away."

Manager Qiu bowed his head and repeatedly answered yes.

Shuiyang Mountain has an underground river.

Zhong Lique was seriously injured and had a fever and was unconscious. Gu Jun was still waiting for himself to recover and would occasionally look back to check on the girl's condition.

Gu Jun watched as Zhong Lique sweated profusely, her hands grew cold, and the skin around her injury gradually turned bluish. He knew that delaying any longer would not do.

Just as he was about to get up and make a move, he suddenly became alert, holding a short blade and facing the direction of the rushing water.

Emerging from the water was a squad of Azure Dragon Army soldiers. Both sides were on guard, and only after spotting Zhongli Que in the firelight did the Azure Dragon Army soldiers ask, "Captain Gu?"

Gu Jun put away his weapon and nodded in agreement.

Only then did the Azure Dragon Army lower their guard and rush forward to rescue the person. Gu Jun, however, turned around first, bent down and picked up the unconscious Zhong Li Que, and left the underground river with the Azure Dragon Army.

The riverbank was already lined with Azure Dragon Army soldiers clad in black armor. Zhongli Wei stared at the rushing water with a tense expression, not daring to imagine what would happen if Zhongli Que fell in alone.

She was a plain person and had no ability to protect herself. I heard that she was injured before she fell.

Zhong Liwei could already imagine how his older brother would scold him when he returned and found out about this.

"Miss has been found!" As soon as Guard Li's voice rang out, Zhong Liwei immediately set off for the destination.

The people waiting on the shore were helping to bring Gu Jun and Zhong Lique out of the water.

Gu Jun used his Five Elements Qi to protect the person in his arms, ensuring that she didn't get a single drop of river water on her.

In the distance, warhorses galloped, and as they approached the shore, Su Feng pulled on the reins and braked sharply, spotting Gu Jun in the crowd.

Gu Jun was soaked to the bone. The girl in his arms was unconscious and pale. Although her right hand was simply bandaged, the bandaged clothes were already soaked with blood.

Su Feng dismounted, his face grim, ignoring everyone else, and walked towards Gu Jun.

"Doctor!" Zhongliwei shouted loudly as the doctor who had come with the army came forward to treat him.

"Here! Here!" The doctor almost fell in his haste, but Su Feng, who was passing by, grabbed him and used his wind manipulation technique to drag him to the front.

As soon as the doctor stood up, he saw Su Feng take Zhong Lique from Gu Jun's hands without giving him a chance to refuse, and lift her up in his arms, carefully avoiding touching her injured hand.

Gu Jun was stunned for a moment.

He originally intended to hand the person over to the doctor.

Gu Jun moved his eyes and sized up the second son of the Nangong Prince's Mansion.

Was his concern for Zhong Lique too obvious this time?

Su Feng didn't even glance at him, and after taking the person, he walked towards the prepared carriage.

The doctor quickly followed him to make a preliminary assessment.

Zhongli Wei knew that Su Feng and Zhongli Que had a good relationship and often saw the two of them together at Bingjia Chongtai, so he did not stop Su Feng's actions.

Just as he was about to follow, he heard his subordinate shout, "General! Urgent report!"

"The situation in Shenhai Prefecture is stable, and the Grand General has now arrived at the capital city with the main rebel leaders from Shenhai Prefecture!"

Zhongli Wei was both surprised and delighted to hear this; it was exactly what he had said!

He strode forward and shouted, "Leave three teams here to guard and continue the search. The rest of you, come back to the city with me!"

Gu Jun was surprised, but he didn't show it on his face.

Even Emperor Qingyang didn't know when Zhong Li Ci would return.

The general returned to find his daughter had been assassinated and injured, and Gu Jun was secretly worried for Chu Jin.

She really didn't have any of the advantages this time.
