Seeing Xiao Wanwan's certainty, General Yao couldn't help but waver.
Although Wanwan is a person with spiritual roots, if a real fight breaks out, the children and Ye Lanyin are no match for her. If she accidentally poisons the food, they might even be poisoned to death.
With that thought in mind, he gripped his sword tighter, showing no intention of backing down.
The Regent raised his hand and grasped General Yao's arm. "Listen to Wanwan."
General Yao's eyes showed disbelief, and he asked without hesitation, "What if..."
"Unless something goes wrong, I believe her."
He trusted Wanwan as much as he trusted Lanyin.
Although Wanwan is not even three years old, her eyes tell her that she will not lose.
"snort!"
The three men had come to arrest someone, and they thought it would take a lot of effort to catch them.
I can't believe how stupid these people are; they actually listened to a child.
Even if you spoil someone, you shouldn't risk their life for it.
They would only think these words to themselves, since it wasn't them who were arrested.
Arrest him!
The Regent coldly replied, "No need, we'll walk on our own!"
The man in black at the head of the group looked at him as if he were already dead.
He's got some backbone now, but once he's in jail, I'd like to see how much backbone he has left!
Taking advantage of the opportunity, Xiao Wanwan swept all the food on the table into her necklace before happily following after them.
When they reached the counter, the shopkeeper stopped them.
"Sirs, you haven't paid yet."
General Yao shrugged. "We haven't eaten a single bite. Want to pay the bill? Let them pay."
He pointed to the man in black beside him.
The man in black glanced at the shopkeeper, then took out a silver ingot from his pocket. "Is this enough?"
The shopkeeper, holding the heavy silver coins, grinned and said, "Enough, enough, enough."
The silver here is more than his half-day's profit, isn't that enough?
They were then respectfully seen off.
"Tch? They didn't even get a bite of food, what a huge loss!" Yao Qianshu complained, mentally cursing the ancestors of these people for eighteen generations.
But I just couldn't calm down.
First there was the Xuan Yue Kingdom, then the Cang Lang Kingdom; that's one thing.
Now, Yun'ao Kingdom has simply imprisoned them?
He truly resented that the Dragon Clan was so far away; if they were to pass through other countries, who knew what awaited them?
It's so tragic to even think about it.
The group was put on a carriage and then taken directly to the prison without any interrogation.
The people in the prison seemed to already know, so they greeted the other party and took over the case.
The leading soldier reached for General Yao's clothes, but General Yao dodged him, shouting, "Don't touch me, I can walk!"
Who knows if their hands are poisoned? What if they are? Wouldn't he never see the sun rise again?
Another person tried to grab the Regent's hand, but was chilled by the Regent's cold, sinister gaze.
They've already suffered some setbacks before even meeting the Regent.
Xiao Wanwan swaggered behind, and no one noticed her occasionally pulling out a snack or a chicken leg from her pocket.
"Little sister, how come you get meat to eat?"
Yao Qianshu smelled the fragrance and found Xiao Wanwan in front of him. He was shocked to see her greasy hands.
Xiao Wanwan licked her hands, then reached into her pocket and rummaged around for a bit. "Do you want it?"
Yao Qianshu's eyes lit up. He looked left and right, and when he saw that the prison guards weren't watching him, he wiped his hands on his chest and excitedly took the chicken leg from Xiao Wanwan's hand.
"Little sister, where did you come from?"
"I just caught it."
"Didn't you say you only grabbed one chicken leg?"
Xiao Wanwan chuckled, "Two chicken legs."
The two men were thrown into the cell while whispering amongst themselves. Looking at the locked cell, Yao Qianshu angrily cursed, "You wait! When I get out, you'll be crawling between my legs!!"
"Hahaha...Get out?" The jailer laughed three times, pointing at the arrogant Yao Qianshu, "No one who comes to this prison ever leaves alive!"
They weren't lying; the people imprisoned here are all death row inmates.
They could be beheaded, torn apart by five horses, or given poison; there were a thousand ways to die.
Upon hearing this, Yao Qianshu was so frightened that he burst into tears.
"Waaah... Dad, didn't you just say it was just a questioning?"
"How come he's going to die right now?"
"No, I don't want to die yet. I haven't gotten married yet, I haven't said goodbye to Wei Yunshu... I haven't done what I like yet."
"Dad, you don't know, do you? My favorite thing is actually starting a fire. After you and Mom secretly threw away all my things, I was so heartbroken..."
"Later, I secretly picked it up myself..."
"Smack!"
Yao Qianshu stopped crying abruptly halfway through his sobbing.
"You unfilial son? What did you say? You picked up all the firewood and stove we threw away for you?" General Yao knew how to get to the point.
He didn't hear his son's cries, nor did he hear the woman his son was talking about.
All I heard was him saying he wanted to start a fire.
The "fire-starter" that Wanwan was talking about!
Does that mean he'll marry a maid? How could his father, as the head of the family, bear such a blow?
He pulled out his belt from his waist and angrily lashed it at Yao Qianshu.
"Oh, Father, why are you hitting me? I just like making fire..."
"What are you doing? You unfilial son! Of all things to do, why did you start a fire?" General Yao was almost in tears. If his wife found out when they got back, she would probably be heartbroken for days.
Then wouldn't he be...?
It makes me angry just thinking about it.
"Tell me, have you taken a fancy to one of the maids?"
"No, no, no, I didn't..."
General Yao continued to chase Yao Qianshu in the prison, beating and cursing him as he went.
Seeing these people causing trouble as soon as they entered, the other prison guards ignored them and went back to sleep.
That's not true. When you're about to die, the hustle and bustle of the human world becomes meaningless.
Since there's no one to talk to after watching, I might as well go to sleep.
Now, let's get to this side.
After capturing them, the men returned to their posts.
Upon arriving at the study of a mansion, a man dressed in a dark blue robe sat in the main seat.
The man, holding a teacup, looked at the liquor inside and said, "They've all been arrested?"
"Yes, as Your Highness ordered, they have all been arrested."
They didn't say that they went in on their own, since that wouldn't count as a merit.
"Very good, go and collect your reward."
"Thank you, Your Highness!"
After the group left, Baili Tang rubbed her sore eyes.
Ever since Lin Wanwan poked his eye in the Holy Kingdom, his eye has been itchy from time to time.
He then recalled how the Qiankun Sword they had brought with His Majesty had become a treasure of the Holy Kingdom, and when they returned, His Majesty had given them a severe dressing-down, making him unable to hold his head high in front of all the civil and military officials.
She didn't even dare to mention that her son was being bullied.
He gets angry just thinking about it.
He slammed his teacup on the table in anger. "Let's go to the prison!"
