Chapter 866 Knowing it Well

Only General Meng and his main force were left.

General Meng completely changed his image of a cowardly and swearing man.

He gathered his thoughts and said, "I'm afraid this time we're in big trouble. The princess is afraid that we'll be delayed, so she asked us to go ahead. This shows that the situation is very serious."

Xiangdong and Xiangxi also saw it. "If the princess tells us to leave, then we will leave. Otherwise, staying here will only become her weak spot and be threatened by the people of the Darong Kingdom. If we escape, even if the princess can't defeat us, she should be able to escape."

"The princess is buying us a chance to survive. We must hurry and leave. How about this? We'll split into three groups. The three of us, each leading a few hundred people, will leave the Darong Kingdom from different directions first. The power of their Darong wizards increases the closer they are to Ge City. Once outside Darong Kingdom, their peak-level wizards are nothing..."

Without further ado, he assigned his men.

If someone really was chasing them, they wouldn't be completely wiped out.

Better safe than sorry.

If there had not been a major change in the Darong Kingdom, it would have been impossible for the queen to come with a dozen high priests to intercept people at night.

It’s a pity for the third princess.

Everything was fine, but they insisted on having a marriage alliance. If the Darong Kingdom was willing to destroy their entire marriage team in order to threaten Princess Fu'an, then the Third Princess would have no way to survive in the Darong Kingdom.

***

Jiang Lianzhu and Silangjun followed the queen back to Ge City.

King Da Rong ordered that unless absolutely necessary, we should not create conflicts between the two countries and try to resolve them as personal grudges.

That's why they let the marriage team go.

Brought back Jiang Lianzhu.

He didn't fight with Jiang Lianzhu on the road.

Jiang Lianzhu is a wizard from outside, at the peak level, a full wizard. She can exert her full strength without relying on the Holy Moon Totem.

They have been relying on the Holy Moon Totem in the Wizard Tower for training. They can only have full combat power if they are close to it. If they are far away, they will be weakened. If they fight dozens of miles outside of Ge City, they are afraid that they will not be Jiang Lianzhu's opponents.

Only by bringing her back to Ge City will they feel more at ease.

Both sides were wary, so they returned all the way to Ge City.

Came to the wizard tower.

Silangjun was not a wizard, so he was not allowed in.

Only Jiang Lianzhu was allowed in.

To outsiders, Silangjun was just a small deputy envoy, like a nobody, and no one took him seriously at all.

Jiang Lianzhu entered the wizard tower with the queen and others.

The furnishings remain the same, and the royal totem tree is full of life and lush green leaves.

Jiang Lianzhu said, "There doesn't seem to be any problem here. The totem tree is fine! What's the problem?"

The queen sneered, "Xuan Lianzhu, you've come this far, and you still dare to fool us? Don't you have any fear in the presence of the Holy Moon Totem? You've taken the totemic power of our royal totem tree, and yet you're still playing dumb?"

Jiang Lianzhu touched her chin, looking surprised. "What do you mean? What is totem power? I don't know! I didn't do it! I just helped you heal the totem tree. It was wilted before, but now it's full of life. You said you would reward me with ten thousand taels of gold, but you didn't give it to me. I didn't have the nerve to ask you for it, so how can you blame me for it!"

Steward Ma said with a forced smile, "Princess Fu'an, this is all known to you, so there's no need to pretend. Hand over the totem power, and we can discuss anything."

Jiang Lianzhu looked insulted. "What's wrong with you, the Great Rong Nation? You're so good at throwing mud at me, aren't you?! I swear I didn't intentionally take any of your totem power! I don't even know what totem power is. Tell me, what is totem power?"

A high priest explained, "We have wronged Princess Fu'an. Perhaps Princess Fu'an really doesn't know what the power of the totem is. Well, let me explain to you. Our totem tree originally had the ability to grant wishes. It was a superpower passed down from our ancestors, a power that could protect future generations. Now it's gone. The totem tree is still the same, but its soul and essence are gone. The power of the totem disappeared as soon as Princess Fu'an touched the totem tree."

Jiang Lianzhu wanted to delay a little longer to allow General Meng and his men to go further.

"Are you guys trying to trick me? You clearly used your totem tree today. Isn't it the power of the totem that manifests when you bless the newlyweds?"

The high priest stared at Jiang Lianzhu with a half-smile. "At that time, it must have been the totem power in you, Princess Fu'an! You had a fluctuation of magical power, and everyone noticed it. Princess Fu'an was afraid that the blessing ceremony for the newlyweds would not be completed, which would have an impact on the third princess's future. So, you used the totem power to complete the blessing ceremony for the newlyweds."

Can Jiang Lianzhu still admit this?

Of course I would never admit it even if I was beaten to death!

Although the high priest's guess was indeed quite accurate.

At that time, when she used that power, she did produce fluctuations in magic power. King Da Rong was right next to her, and she felt more than one gaze falling on where she was, and she could sense it from more than one person.

As long as they do a quick comparison and analysis, it will not be difficult to confirm that it is her.

But Jiang Lianzhu couldn't give up. "This is complete nonsense. Where is your king? Let your king speak out! I have never heard that the power of the totem tree can be transferred to humans. I want to have a good talk with your king..."

Despite all the commotion, King Da Rong was nowhere to be seen.

This is not normal.

Jiang Lianzhu was a little alert. She didn't know what King Darong was doing. It was definitely not good for her.

"Princess Fu'an, our king has gone to pay homage to our ancestors. There is no need for you to drag it out any longer. You will not gain any benefit by delaying until our ancestors arrive. The power of the totem is a big deal, and you can't get away with it by quibbling. Since you have returned to Ge City with us, it will not be easy for you to leave here again. In my opinion, it is better to return the totem power directly, and we can pretend that nothing happened..." Butler Ma still had that forced smile on his face.

Jiang Lianzhu said, "I didn't even take it, how can I hand it in?"

"If you don't hand it over, our king will invite our ancestors, and they will naturally make the decision for us. Our ancestors can see at a glance whether the power of the totem is in you, and they will never wrongly accuse you. If you insist on fighting to the death and refuse to return it, then the friendly relations between our two countries will probably not be able to be maintained. To put it bluntly, if the royal family of our Dayong Kingdom loses the power of the totem, then we will take advantage of the fact that our family is still strong and will drag your Da'an Kingdom down with us even if we die!" said the queen cruelly.

These are the last harsh words that have been spoken.
