Chapter 169: Heading to Jinzhou
Yue Huai thought about it. In any case, the succession ceremony would not be so soon and would definitely take some time. During this time, he could go to see his master and senior brother.
Thinking this through, he nodded and agreed, "Okay."
Seeing that he had agreed, Jingwu smiled and said, "Then let's pack our things and set off tomorrow."
“Okay.” Yue Huai responded, then thought of something and said, “Jinzhou is too big. If we search blindly, we will definitely not find it. I will go home tonight and look for things left by my master and senior brother.”
Although going back now would be like throwing himself into the lion's den, he didn't have any of their belongings on him and couldn't use tracking techniques, so he had no choice but to go back and get them.
“If you go back now, aren’t you just walking into a trap?” Jingwu looked at him and smirked. “They might be waiting for you at your house.”
She noticed the boy's face turn cold, knowing his anxiety. After thinking for a moment, she asked, "Do you know their birth dates and times?"
Yue Huai was slightly taken aback when he heard this, then nodded: "I only know about my senior brother."
I knew, after all, my senior brother and I were close, so I never hid it from him. It's just that using birth dates and times to trace him was too taxing on my spiritual energy.
He has already used the tracking technique once today, which consumed a lot of his spiritual power, and he probably won't be able to use it again.
Jingwu saw what he was thinking, so he patted him on the shoulder and said with a smile, "It's okay, tell me your birth date and time, and I'll track you down."
Yue Huai stared at the person in front of him for a moment, thought for a moment, and then agreed, giving her his birth date and time.
After receiving the birth date and time, Jingwu did not hesitate at all. He immediately made hand seals and chanted incantations to use the tracking technique.
As she rapidly formed hand seals, a cyan spell emerged, accompanied by a wisp of consciousness, and flew towards the outside of the Crown Prince's residence.
Following that wisp of consciousness, Jingwu traveled forward and entered Shunchang Prefecture in Jinzhou, stopping at a mansion on a bustling street.
Following the directions, she went inside and saw that the mansion was magnificent and resplendent, comparable to a small palace.
The mansion was filled with servants, and the clothes they wore were all very familiar to her, but she couldn't remember where she had seen them before.
Following the directions, Jingwu descended underground and stopped outside the pitch-black cage.
She looked up and saw two men locked in separate cells, both seriously injured.
Almost all of their clothes had been removed, leaving only a white undershirt stained with blood.
Both of them were chained, and they sat on the ground, dazed and with their heads hanging down.
Jingwu frowned deeply, wanting to take a closer look, but suddenly sensed an evil force approaching.
This force was both evil and domineering, giving the impression that it would kill him with a single blow.
She immediately snapped back to reality, opened her eyes abruptly, and gasped for breath before recovering.
"What's wrong?" Yue Huai asked with concern as soon as he saw her like this.
“I’ve found your master and senior brother. They’re in Shunchang Prefecture in Jinzhou, imprisoned in a cell, just like your father, with their hands and feet bound.”
Upon hearing this, Yue Huai couldn't help but feel worried. Could it be that his master and senior brother had also had their cultivation stolen?
He frowned, forcing himself not to think about these things, and said to the person in front of him, "Then you should go back and get some rest tonight. We'll set off for Jinzhou early tomorrow morning."
“Okay.” Jingwu readily agreed. After saying goodbye, he immediately went back to his room to pack his things. To be honest, he didn’t have much, just some dry food, just in case.
She was about to rest when she looked up and saw the clothes on the maid who was making her bed, and immediately started making noise.
No wonder it felt familiar; the servants in that mansion wore exactly the same clothes as the servants in the Crown Prince's mansion.
This style is unique to the palace; it was worn by the royal family members, their maids, and servants.
In the residences of ordinary ministers, there was no right to wear such clothing.
Could it be that it's also a royal palace?
After washing up, Jingwu lay down on the bed, lost in thought.
She had been in the capital for quite some time and had learned a bit about the imperial family and nobility.
The current emperor has only three sons, all of whom are in the capital. He has already met the eldest son, the crown prince, and the third son, the Prince of Hui.
The Crown Prince is an upright man; one can tell from his appearance that he wouldn't do anything evil. Prince Hui is ambitious and covets the throne, but Jinzhou is so far away; he probably doesn't have the wealth to build such a magnificent mansion.
That means only the Second Prince and the Emperor's two brothers, Prince Yu and Prince Rui.
Could it be one of the three of them?
Jingwu thought for a while, but couldn't hold on any longer, so he closed his eyes and fell asleep.
When she woke up the next day, it was already broad daylight.
She immediately got up, washed up, ate a simple breakfast, and then went out with her bag.
Just as I reached the door, I saw Yue Huai saying goodbye to his parents.
Jingwu immediately stopped and stood at a distance so as not to disturb the three of them's cozy time.
Soon, Yue Huai hugged his parents and then walked towards her.
He wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes and smiled somewhat embarrassedly: "Sorry, I made you laugh."
Jingwu withdrew his gaze from Madam Yue, who was still wiping away tears, and patted her on the shoulder with a smile.
“Your father and mother are worried about you, so we must come back safely.”
A hint of envy flashed in Jingwu's eyes. In just a few days, she could tell that his parents loved him very much.
However, her uncle and aunt also love her very much, it's just that they are not here.
With that thought in mind, Jingwu immediately put that feeling of envy out of his mind.
"Then let's go."
"good."
As soon as they finished speaking, they instantly teleported to Jinzhou. When they arrived in front of the mansion, they saw the array surrounding it.
"Strange, I didn't see any formation when I came here yesterday."
Jingwu looked at the array surrounding the outside and spoke softly.
However, the force that attacked her yesterday must have been detected by the person behind it, so it's not surprising that they added a formation.
She scratched her cheek, looking at the formation with a headache.
If this formation is broken, the person behind it will surely find out, and then it will be another fierce battle.
If the person behind the scenes has nothing to do with the evil god, that's fine. But the worst-case scenario is that they are connected to the evil god, like those two elders of the Xuanmen sect, whose cultivation has greatly increased, making it as easy for them to crush those two as to crush ants.
Jingwu couldn't come up with a solution and became somewhat irritable, scratching his face with a bit more force.
The next second, a slight stinging sensation came from my face.
