The Miao King did indeed become suspicious. Before he even returned to his palace, he ordered people to investigate the defenses of Xiao Wenmo's residence.

He wanted to know if what Yun Chuwei said was true.

Soon, the men he sent out returned.

The man knelt before the Miao King and said, "As Your Majesty wishes, I had three people familiar with military formations inspect the Ninth Prince's residence. All three of them came to the same conclusion: the Ninth Prince's residence uses military formations as a defensive system."

The Miao King was startled. These people got the same result as Yun Chuwei. Did that prove that Yun Chuwei was right?

It seems he really doesn't know anything about his younger brother.

If his younger brother were to attempt a sneak attack, he would likely have no chance of resistance.

Was he overthinking things? Was he judging others by his own petty standards?

However, this younger brother really did hide a lot from him.

If he had no ulterior motives, would he need to hide it?

If he has no ulterior motives, why not help him upgrade the defenses of the Prince's Palace?

Under such circumstances, shouldn't he, as the King of Miao, have more to think about?

He glanced at the guards kneeling before him and ordered, "Investigate my good brother thoroughly. I need to know when he became so skilled in martial arts, who is by his side who understands military formations and can apply them effectively, and most importantly, investigate whether there is any direct connection between him and the young prince who were poisoned by the Gu!"

The Miao King narrowed his eyes slightly and concluded, "In short, I want to know everything about my younger brother, down to the smallest detail!"

Upon hearing this, the guard immediately replied, "Yes, sir!"

After the guards left, the Miao King seemed to have lost all his strength and leaned back in his chair.

He hung his head, his expression desolate, his figure lonely.

His mother died not long after giving birth to his younger brother. His father had a complicated family situation, and he was worried about his brother, so he asked his father to let his brother live in his mansion.

The king probably didn't care much about this son and quickly agreed.

His younger brother was raised in his household, and he was involved in almost every moment of his brother's growth.

He taught his younger brother to speak; he taught his younger brother to walk; he taught his younger brother the first word he knew...

He had always thought that the little boy would always be his younger brother, his dearest younger brother...

But for some reason, everything suddenly changed.

He no longer recognized his younger brother, nor could he understand him anymore.

The Miao King closed his eyes, looking somewhat pained.

If the results of the investigation are the same as his guess, how should he face it?

-

Soon, the Miao King received the results brought back by his secret guards.

The secret agents uncovered many things, and all of these things had a time frame in mind: three years ago.

Three years ago, Xiao Wenmo seemed to have changed suddenly.

First, he claimed to be ill, closed his mansion gates, and refused to receive guests; second, he purged everyone in his mansion; third, he set up an array on his mansion; and finally, he seemed to suddenly understand a lot of martial arts and practiced diligently in his mansion every day.

After being reminded by his bodyguard, the Miao King also remembered.

Three years ago, Xiao Wenmo said he was sick and closed his doors to visitors for three months. Even he couldn't see anyone.

Three months later, when Xiao Wenmo reappeared, he seemed to have lost weight.

He felt sorry for his younger brother and prepared a lot of his favorite foods for him, but Xiao Wenmo's tastes had changed.

He had also asked why his tastes had changed.

He remembered that Xiao Wenmo's explanation to him at the time was that he had taken a lot of medicine in the past three months, and perhaps those medicines had changed his taste.

He didn't think much of it at the time and believed it.

Now, however, it seems to be riddled with flaws.

The younger brother he has now might not actually be his younger brother at all.

He might be in disguise! But he never suspected anything, so he never even considered that possibility.

He suddenly realized that his younger brother might have been killed by this person.

He trembled slightly and suddenly stood up.

"Guards! Issue the order to immediately surround the Ninth Young Master's residence and arrest him!"

The leader who had just entered was taken aback, an expression of disbelief in his eyes.

The Miao King's expression was somewhat unpleasant, and he asked, "Do I need to repeat myself?"

The leader quickly replied, "Your subordinate obeys!"

So the leader led a large group of people to Xiao Wenmo's residence.

The Miao King followed behind, his expression somewhat complicated.

He needs to figure this out today; he hopes he's guessed wrong.

If his guess is true, then his younger brother is likely in grave danger.

If that's really the case, he must kill this person to avenge his brother.

The news that the Miao King had led his troops to surround Xiao Wenmo's residence quickly reached Yun Chuwei and Xie Xuan's ears.

Yun Chuwei was somewhat surprised.

"I never expected the King of Miao to be so decisive!"

Xie Xuan was also quite surprised.

He paused for a moment, then said, "I'm afraid the Miao King's men are no match for Xiao Wenmo. Capturing him won't be easy!"

Yun Chu smiled slightly: "Come on, I'll take you to see the excitement."

As she spoke, she took Xie Xuan's hand and led him outside.

Seeing the two about to leave again, Huo Qingjue asked, puzzled, "Miss, where are you going this time?"

Yun Chuwei said casually, "Let's go see the fun. You should come too!"

Hearing that there was something interesting to see, Huo Qingjue naturally became interested as well.

He followed and asked, "What's all the commotion about?"

Yun Chuwei gave him a brief description.

Upon hearing this, Huo Qingjue suggested, "Should we take a few people with us? If Xiao Wenmo really tries to escape, we can leave him behind."

Yun Chuwei hesitated slightly.

Xie Xuan, who was standing to the side, said, "Xiao Wenmo's martial arts are unfathomable. If we forcibly stop him, I'm afraid we'll hurt our people!"

Yun Chuwei understood Xie Xuan's meaning.

They were still unsure of Xiao Wenmo's situation; Xiao Wenmo was not the mission of those around her.

It would be such a waste if the people around him were to get hurt because of Xiao Wenmo.

She immediately said to Huo Qingjue, "No need, just go and get me a bow!"

If it's hard to keep someone in the front, then let's use a sneak attack to keep them there.

As long as the result is good, the process and methods don't need to be too concerned.

Yun Chuwei and her two companions soon arrived at a teahouse near Xiao Wenmo's residence.

They requested a private room, from which they could see Xiao Wenmo and the Miao King confronting each other.

Yun Chuwei and the other two all possessed internal energy, which allowed them to hear the conversation between the two.

Xiao Wenmo never expected that the Miao King would suddenly send people to surround his residence.

He arrived at the gate of the mansion and said to the Miao King, "Brother, what are you doing?"

The Miao King looked at Xiao Wenmo and said, "Wenmo, I have some questions that I need to discuss with you. Come back with me!"

After the Miao King finished speaking, he signaled to his men to capture Xiao Wenmo.
