The Prince of Shahe's Palace did not dare to openly search the black-haired and black-eyed Rakshasa people, but they had no qualms about ordering a search for a dog.
As soon as the sky brightened the next day, almost everyone in the city knew that the prince's mansion had been raided by a vicious dog in the middle of the night. More than a dozen guards were bitten by it, and even Prince Shahe was frightened by the vicious dog and fell ill in bed.
In order to avenge Prince Shahe, the Prince's Palace is doing its best to search for the vicious dog. In addition, notices have been posted in several busy places in the city, reminding the people that if they find the whereabouts of the vicious dog, they can go to the Prince's Palace to inform them.
If the clues are useful, the Prince's Palace will give a generous reward.
To know how “big” the matter is, just look at Mi Zhu’s family next door. Even the children who are a few years old and the elderly who are almost sixty years old are eager to go out and look for the vicious dog.
"The notice says that if you find the vicious dog, you will be rewarded with a house with nine rooms in the south of the city."
After reading the notice from the Prince's Palace, Sangji looked at Heiyun who was lying in the house chewing on a yak bone, and his eyes couldn't help but be filled with a bit of eagerness.
It was as if looking at piles of gold ingots.
"Young man, your eyes are dangerous." Chen Yan passed by and patted Sang Ji on the shoulder.
Heiyun, who was grinding his teeth with a big bone, also stopped, raised his head and looked at Sangji with squinted eyes.
Sang Ji immediately retracted the eagerness in his eyes, smiled awkwardly, swallowed his saliva, and explained: "You don't know, a big house with nine rooms in the south of the city is worth a lot of money!"
"How much?" Suihe came over and asked curiously.
Sangji counted on his fingers. One hundred iron coins were equal to one silver bean, and ten silver beans were equal to one gold bean.
"Is it worth thousands of gold beans?"
Let alone thousands of gold beans, he had never even seen thousands of silver beans, no, hundreds of silver beans.
When he was most well-off, he had at most three silver beans, which he had “stolen” from other people’s pockets at the market. They did not stay in his hands for more than half a day, as he exchanged them for bread and bird eggs and shared them with orphans who were foraging with him in the slums of the city.
"How much gold are these thousands of gold beans worth?" Zou Yun asked, and then he produced a gold ingot from his sleeve like a magic trick, "How does it compare to this gold ingot?"
"What?" Sang Ji glanced at Zou Yun's hand inadvertently, and then couldn't look away.
His gaze was more eager than when he looked at the black clouds before.
This was the first time he had seen such a large piece of gold!
"This... with so much gold, I'm afraid we can grind out dozens of gold beans, right?"
My God, what kind of people did he meet? They could easily take out so much gold.
This is too rich!
Looking at the golden ingot, for the first time in three days, Sang Ji firmly believed that his choice was right. Making a deal with this group of people might just be the beginning of his future wealth!
Looking at Wei Yunlan and others, Sang Ji's eyes became more friendly and enthusiastic.
"When do we leave Sand River City?"
After all, he is still a teenager.
The change in attitude was so obvious, who could not see what was going on?
However, this change was harmless to Wei Yunlan and his party. They were not afraid that Sang Ji had some plans in mind. On the contrary, as long as they had what he wanted, they were not afraid that he would not work hard for them.
"Don't be in a hurry to leave. Wait a few more days."
Now is the time when the city gates are most strictly guarded, there is no need to leave in a hurry.
In a few days, it will be the annual Moon Worship Festival.
On that day, people in the city would go out to light lanterns, worship the moon and pray. They could wait until the festival celebration was at its most lively and then find a chance to leave in the chaos.
…
Just as Wei Yunlan and his party settled down in Shahe City, learning the language and writing every day and getting to know the local customs, habits and specialties, while they were living in peace, there was no peace in the Prince of Shahe's mansion.
The young prince Sang Ge sat in the main seat with a gloomy face, listening to his subordinates report on the search in the city over the past two days.
"No suspicious persons were found at any of the four city gates."
"Nothing was found in the city..."
Neither the black dog nor the man with black hair and black eyes could be found.
Sang Ge's face became even uglier after hearing this. He slammed the table with his hand and shouted angrily, "What do you do for a living? You can't even do such a simple thing!"
"It's been a few days, and there's still no clues. Could it be that those people just disappeared out of thin air?"
The two guards who were kneeling on one knee and reporting the matter couldn't help but raise their heads slightly and looked at each other when they heard the words.
"If you have anything to say, just open your mouth and say it. Why are you looking at me?" Sang Ge said with a frown.
One of the two guards spoke cautiously: "Young Prince, we can't prepare for it...we can't prepare for it..."
"What can't you prepare for?" Sang Ge's brows deepened, and a hint of impatience flashed in his eyes. "If you have something to say, just say it, don't hesitate."
The guard took a deep breath and finally said, "We can't be prepared that those people really disappear out of thin air!"
"My young prince, you don't know that when we were chasing that dog in the palace yesterday, we were about to kill it, but it suddenly disappeared in the blink of an eye."
"If the missing five people are in cahoots with the dog, maybe they also have this ability to disappear out of thin air. In that case, even if we search the city hard, we won't be able to find them."
"You guys go down first." Sang Ge leaned back on the chair weakly and waved his hand.
The room became quiet.
The two guards who retreated outside could not help but whisper, "Do you think those people really have the ability to disappear out of thin air?"
"It's possible that it's true. Don't forget that they all have black hair and black eyes. It wouldn't be surprising if they knew some magical skills."
"Then will we be punished for helping the young prince to capture them... All countries have clearly prohibited the use of the blood of the Rakshasa people to perform evil magic..."
The guards' voices were not loud.
But it was still relayed to Sangge's ears.
Listening to the report from below, Sangge suddenly clenched his hands on the armrests of the throne into fists.
He knew very well that what he was doing was against the will of heaven and was expressly prohibited by all countries.
But he can't care so much now.
He couldn't let his grandfather die.
The method suggested by the national teacher is the only life-saving straw he can grasp at the moment!
