Chapter 75 Encountering an Inn
Suddenly he saw purses hanging on them, and he stretched out his hand, and everyone trembled with fear.
The puppet's hand was about to touch the servant in front of him, and the servant closed his eyes resignedly.
Dad, Mom, I'm so sorry that I can't take care of you in your old age and see you to the end of your life.
The pain he expected did not come. He opened his eyes and watched the puppet take away the purse from his waist, and he felt relieved.
Fortunately, they just asked for money, at least my life was saved!
Seeing this, others took money from waists, grapefruits, arms, soles of shoes, hair...
He took out the silver and coins and put them in front of the puppet, who bent down and picked them up one by one.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Although the money was gone, as long as they were still alive.
He glanced at everyone and saw that no one was hiding anything, so he put all the silver and money into the bag behind him.
He turned around gracefully, jumped out of the pit quickly, and quickly disappeared from everyone's sight.
Everyone looked at each other, and no one knew what to do.
They didn't understand. They were sleeping peacefully in the palace, but when they woke up, the palace was gone and only a big pit was left. All the money they had was robbed.
This thief is such a bad person. He not only robs rich people, but also takes away even the small things on their bodies.
What have they done to offend anyone? They are so unlucky!
Until now they feel like it all feels like a dream!
They were still mourning the passing of a lifetime when a roar from the other side brought them back to reality: "Quickly, call the imperial physician! The prince is dying!"
This roar made everyone in the palace explode like ants in a frying pan.
Xuanyuan Dong left Prince Ruyang's study and went to the private military camp. After he learned that Prince Ruyang's Mansion had disappeared, he didn't care about anything else and led his men directly to the big pit in Prince Ruyang's Mansion.
When he arrived at the former Prince Ruyang's Mansion, what he saw was a huge pit, and in the pit were the palace's masters and servants who were in a panic!
"Father!"
Prince Ruyang was still lying on the ground, with one side of his face sunken, looking extremely creepy.
The women of the palace were sobbing all around, and it was unclear whether they were crying for what happened to Prince Ruyang, or for their own future!
Princess Ruyang saw Xuanyuan Dong and suddenly found her backbone. She stopped crying and said, "Dong'er, you're here. Come and see your father. Those damned thieves not only took away the entire palace, but also beat your father like this!"
“Woo…”
"You must find that damned thief, avenge your father, and recover our palace!"
She wiped her tears again and said, "The thief simply didn't want to give us a chance to live. He could have just emptied the palace, why did he have to move the whole house? What are we going to do in the future? We can't just sleep in a big pit!"
“Woo…”
Xuanyuan Dong looked at his father who had taught him how to do things last night. Now he could only lie sickly on the ground, his eyes red and his fists clenched. His hatred for the thieves reached a peak. This was his most beloved father.
"Father..."
He gritted his teeth, wishing he could find the thief immediately and tear him into pieces to avenge his father!
"Come here, one of you will go to the Dali Temple to report the crime, and the rest of you will seal the city gates and capture the thieves!"
He could tolerate him stealing from others, but he actually stole from his own father and even injured his father. His uncle could tolerate it, but his aunt could not!
He vowed to catch the thief and avenge his father!
Overnight, the Prince of Ruyang's Palace and the Prince of Zhennan's Palace disappeared out of thin air, and the imperial palace was robbed again.
The entire capital city was in chaos again. Xuanyuan Dong asked the emperor for permission to personally capture the thieves. Everyone in the capital was in danger. Many people believed that the capital city was an ominous place and prone to attracting thieves, so they secretly began to transfer their industries and prepare to move their families!
Soon, wanted posters for the puppet man were posted all over the streets!
The reward was doubled, and at the end, a sentence was added: no matter life or death, you can claim the reward by bringing the head.
It is conceivable how deep the court's hatred for the thief was and how much it wanted to catch him and kill him.
The puppet man walked around the street in such a swagger. When he saw the vendors nearby, he would go up to take a look and sometimes even touch them.
There was a hole in the bag behind him, and gold, silver and jewelry could be seen inside.
In the past, the thieves on the street would definitely come forward to patronize the place, but now, seeing the puppet, no one dared to come forward.
What's worse, some vendors would offer him the food to take away when they saw him staring at it.
The puppet man accepted everything that came his way.
Before he even walked out of the city gate, he was surrounded by Xuanyuan Dong and his men.
Xuanyuan Dongren said nothing and immediately called on the archers to "release their arrows!"
With a command, a rain of arrows rushed towards the puppet from all directions.
Everyone around held their breath, thinking that this thief was definitely finished, and in a very miserable way, as if his heart was pierced by thousands of arrows!
This person must have been scared silly, standing there motionless.
"Bang, bang..."
The puppet just stood there motionless, allowing the rain of arrows to hit him.
The expected thousands of arrows piercing the heart did not come. Instead, the rain of arrows all fell to the ground, and the person in the middle was not hurt at all!
Not only Xuanyuan Dong was dumbfounded, but everyone around him was also dumbfounded!
What the hell is this thing? Why can’t the rain of arrows hurt it at all? Is it really a monster?
He just didn't believe it. If ordinary arrows didn't work, could he use rockets?
He shouted to the guards around him, "Load the rockets, shoot!"
It would be fine if he couldn't find this monster, but now that he has found him, he won't let him go easily.
The guards drew their arrows, lit them, and shot at the puppet in one go.
This time he moved, but he just took the bag behind him and brought it in front of him, holding it directly in his arms and protecting it tightly with his body!
Everyone around was dumbfounded: Could this person be a fool? At this critical moment of life and death, he only cares about the bag. Shouldn’t saving his life be the most important thing?
This guy really doesn't look like the kind of thief who could rob the imperial palace multiple times and empty half of the capital, because he is just too stupid.
You already have so much wealth, why do you still care about this?
Xuanyuan Dong looked at the puppet man surrounded by rockets, his eyes cold and his heart filled with the pleasure of destroying his enemies!
He looked at the items that were exposed from the bundle. The ring was the one his father always wore on his finger, and the jade pendant was also the one his father always carried with him...
Xuanyuan Dong's eyes were filled with hatred, and veins on his hands were bulging!
The fire was raging, and the guards kept shooting rockets at the puppet. The fire was raging and the heat was overwhelming!
The fire burned for a long time before it was extinguished.
Seeing the dark mass in the middle, Xuanyuan Dong and the guards were overjoyed and shouted, "It's done, it's done, Prince! We succeeded, we finally killed the thieves!"
They had come here with the determination to die, but they didn't expect that the matter would be resolved so easily. Isn't this thief difficult to deal with?
While they were still cheering, the dark puppet moved, took out the bag from his arms, put it on his back, and continued to move forward grunting.
The crowd that was originally cheering...
Xuanyuan Dong...
Xuanyuan Dong was shocked. How could there be someone in this world who was invulnerable to swords and guns? Or someone who was immune to water and fire?
He just doesn't believe in evil. If he doesn't kill this thing today, he will not be a human being!
"Come here, use the iron net, sand, and stones, even if it means burying him alive!"
Xuanyuan Dong gritted his teeth and gave orders to the guards again!
The puppet was still fighting with Xuanyuan Dong, and Xia Xing'er had already returned to the exile team.
She sat in the carriage and asked Jiujiu to help her fight the puppet with Xuanyuan Dong.
Jiujiu placed high-tech products on the puppet, which could see everything over there.
The streets of the capital were in chaos, with people and horses falling to the ground, and the guards were thrown to the ground.
"Quick, tie his feet with chains and hit his eyes with stones, quick!"
"No, stones won't work on him, and chains won't hold him!"
"Hook him by the neck, and get some extra chains!"
"Hurry up, catch it with the net!"
The puppet was caught in an iron net, squatting there motionless, allowing the guards to put chains on him one by one!
The puppet man was really fed up with them and didn't want to play with them anymore. He missed his master, but his master was too much. He actually abandoned him and left. He was really pitiful!
He became angry and struck the net with force, the net broke and the chain snapped. He stood up and walked towards the city gate.
He originally thought he had the overall situation under control, but now he felt like a clown and was being fooled.
The guards were also frightened and retreated. At this moment, they believed what the guards in the palace said, that they were no match for him!
What they fear most now is that the puppets will retaliate against them, and their lives will definitely be in danger.
They fought desperately to control the man, but he broke free in no time.
These people are like ants in front of others, and others can crush them to death with just one finger.
The puppet walked towards the city gate step by step with his bag on his back, and the people around him made way for him.
Xuanyuan Dong saw that the guards were retreating, so how could she let them do what they wanted? "No one is allowed to retreat! Capture him for me, or I'll pay with your heads!"
He just couldn't believe that so many people couldn't do anything to such a person. He must kill him today.
The guards were caught in a dilemma: if they advanced they would die, and if they retreated they would also die. In the end, they had no choice but to fight!
They all blocked the city gate, trying to block the puppet's way.
In less than a moment they were dumbfounded. The puppets took one puppet in each hand and threw all the people blocking the city gate out like sandbags.
The puppet punched the tightly closed city gate and it fell down magnificently.
He swaggered out of the city gate amid everyone's disbelieving gazes.
Then the puppet was seen walking faster and faster, and finally disappeared from everyone's sight like the wind.
Everyone was petrified on the spot!
What did they see?
What the hell is this thing? It’s invulnerable to swords and guns, immune to water and fire, has infinite strength, and is incredibly fast. What kind of monster is this!
Xuanyuan Dong's face was as black as ink. He had been tossing and turning, but in the end it was all a joke.
He has never felt so aggrieved in his life!
Everything has been going smoothly for him since he was born. No one would make him angry, and even if someone did, he would kill them.
Xuanyuan Dong's eyes were extremely gloomy, and the whip in his hand was almost deformed.
"Search for me, even if you have to dig three feet into the ground, you must find him for me."
The puppet man was extremely fast and caught up with the exile team in less than an hour, but he did not dare to go forward and could only follow the team from a distance.
Xia Xing'er also knew that the puppet man had caught up with him, so he used the excuse of needing to go to the bathroom and came to the puppet man.
The puppet looked at Xia Xing'er with a wronged expression and stretched the bag behind him in front of Xia Xing'er.
"You want to give it to me?" Xia Xing'er pointed at him and then at herself.
She was very happy to see the puppet man return safely. She didn't expect that the puppet man was so powerful.
Invulnerable to swords and guns, immune to water and fire, it is the most invincible in the world.
The puppet watched his master talking to him, and he nodded to Xia Xing'er.
He also put his big head in Xia Xing'er's hand, indicating that she should touch it.
Xia Xing'er understood immediately and rubbed his head as he said what she meant.
At first, she was planning to let the puppet be her scapegoat, thinking that it was just a puppet and could be sacrificed at will. However, she didn't expect that this puppet was not an ordinary puppet and brought her an unexpected surprise.
Xia Xing'er opened the bundle and looked at the extra silver and money, and smiled so hard that her teeth were exposed.
She smiled at the puppet and said, "Well done! Keep it up! We'll work together in the future!"
The puppet nodded his big head in cooperation. He would do whatever his master said unconditionally.
Xia Xing'er put the bag directly into her personal space. She now regarded the puppet as her partner. Since it was a partner, she could no longer call the puppet "puppet".
"Do you have a name? If you don't have one, can I give you one?"
Before the puppet could answer, she patted its head and said, "I don't know what you're made of, but since you're so amazing, I'll call you Jili, meaning auspicious, auspicious, and smooth. How about that?"
Although the puppet felt that the name Xia Xing'er gave was not very nice, he still nodded because it was given by the master.
From now on, he will be called Jili.
He is different from those puppets in the space. He has a name.
His master always touches his big head. He is so happy.
Xia Xing'er asked Jili to return to the portable space and told him to take good care of the animals in the space and the fruit trees on the mountain.
She quickly returned to the team and continued walking towards the next destination.
The farther they are from the main city, the farther apart the post stations are.
At the beginning, there was a post station every ten miles, twenty miles, thirty miles, forty miles, fifty miles, and the farthest one was even more than a hundred miles away.
The further away from the bustling town you are, the harder it is to find a place to stay.
These days the team either stayed at the foot of the mountain, in the woods, or in small villages along the way!
They were relatively lucky today and actually came across a shabby hotel.
Everyone was very happy. These days they were like savages, using the ground as their bed and the sky as their blanket, and gnawing on steamed bread as hard as stone. They really had enough.
This hotel is like the dawn of their lives.
Everyone rushed to the hotel, fearing that someone else would get there first and they would have no place to sleep or food to eat.
Just a loud noise made them all stop?
