Soon, Nangong Jiu and Xiao Wang Xiaoxing stood by the wall.
Nangong Jiu only took a look, pouted and waved his hand, and the wall disappeared instantly.
Minister Chen asked curiously.
"Princess, what's going on with this wall?"
"Spell, barrier."
[Fifth Uncle, what exactly is going on in Li County?]
Liu Xuan carefully recounted what he had learned during this period.
"We've been investigating for so long, and three days ago we suddenly got a tip that there was a 20-year-old woman in this house, so we came here, and ended up being trapped here."
[So, after they found the 20-year-old woman, they dripped her blood into a black object?]
"yes!"
What does that black thing look like?
Liu Xuan extended his hand toward Minister Chen and said, "Bring the portrait here."
Minister Chen quickly took out the portrait, and Liu Xuan unfolded it for Nangong Jiu to see: "We drew this based on the descriptions of the women who were captured."
Nangong Jiu stared at the portrait, and suddenly his head started buzzing.
As his memories came back bit by bit, scenes of the black thing kept flashing before Nangong Jiu's eyes.
She cried out involuntarily, "The Black Jade Key! It's the Black Jade Key!"
Liu Xuan saw that Nangong Jiu's expression was not right, so he shook her body gently: "Jiu'er, you know this black thing, right?"
Nangong Jiu came back to his senses: [Fifth Uncle, let's get everyone back to the capital. You and Minister Chen come with me. Grandfather and the others are very worried.]
[This matter has something to do with me. I will come to solve it tomorrow.]
Liu Xuan was worried: "Is this the end of the matter?"
"Well, I'll take care of the rest. I promise they'll leave Li County tomorrow."
"Do you know them?"
[Yes, they were probably looking for me, but they couldn't find the right entrance, so they ended up looking for my mother.]
"You mean, the person they're looking for is your mother? They want to find you by looking for your mother?"
"That should be it! Let's go back first. We'll leave first and let your men return to the capital on their own."
Imperial study.
When Nangong Jiu and his party returned to the imperial study, Emperor Dongling was pacing around in the study anxiously, and Nangong Honglie and his son also looked anxious.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief when they saw them return safely.
Liu Xuan and Minister Chen stepped forward and saluted.
"Your son greets His Majesty!"
"Your Majesty!"
Emperor Dong Ling nodded: "It's good that you're back, as long as you're okay."
"I'm sorry to have worried Father! We're fine. We're just trapped in a house and can't get out. We have food and drink inside, so we haven't suffered much."
"It's good that I didn't suffer!"
Emperor Dongling waved his hand at Minister Chen with relief, "You're frightened, and your family must be worried about you too. Go back and rest.
If your family asks about the spirit bringing the princess to rescue you, just say a few words and keep your mouth shut."
"Yes, I know the importance of this!"
Minister Chen bowed and left.
After the others had gone far away, Emperor Dongling carefully questioned Liu Xuan.
"You said you were trapped in a house. Is there anyone guarding it?"
"No, it's just an invisible but intangible wall. Jiuer said it was a barrier created by the other party using magic."
"Boundary?"
Everyone looked at Nangong Jiu again.
At this time, Nangong Jiu was looking down in deep thought. Nangong Yunsheng picked up the little guy and said, "Jiu'er, tell us what happened."
[Uncle, those people are here to see me.]
"Looking for you? What's going on?"
At the entrance to the Magic Forest, a group of elves live. They guard the area year-round, preventing the demonic beasts and monsters from escaping and causing harm to the human world.
[There is a barrier at the edge of the Magic Forest. If someone wants to enter the Magic Forest for training, they will use the black jade key in their hands to open a secret door.]
[This barrier was set up by me in the past to protect the human world, and I also gave them the black jade key.]
[The reason they came here is probably because there is something going on in the magical forest that they can't handle.
The Elf King of the Elf Tribe knows divination, and it must be because he couldn't find my reincarnation, but he found my mother. That's why he came up with this search for someone.
Nangong Yunsheng repeated Nangong Jiu's words.
Emperor Dongling and Nangong Honglie looked at Nangong Jiu worriedly: "What are you going to do?"
Uncle, please tell my grandfather and maternal grandfather that I will go to Li County to find them tomorrow and find out the situation first.
Everyone nodded after listening.
Emperor Dong Ling looked at Nangong Jiu curiously: "Jiu'er, tell us about the elves."
[They originally lived on the edge of the magical forest. Because they were weak, they were bullied by demon beasts and monsters for a long time and were almost wiped out. I saved them.]
I had them move to the jungle outside the Magic Forest, designated an area for them to settle down in, and tasked them with guarding the entrance.
[They are simple-minded, have low-level cultivation, and guard the entrance diligently.]
"Do they look different from ordinary people?"
Liu Xuan smiled and shook his head. "We've run into them a few times, and they look the same. However, they all wear black hooded cloaks, which makes them look quite mysterious."
Nangong Jiu waved her hand: [On weekdays in the jungle, they all fly with the small wings on their backs. When they leave the tribe, they fold their wings.]
Emperor Dong Ling looked at Nangong Jiu and said, "Jiu'er, since they are looking for you, then I will leave this matter to you. Let them return to the jungle as soon as possible."
【Yeah, don't worry.】
On a mountain in Li County.
In an abandoned farmyard, a group of people wearing black cloaks were discussing going out to look for someone.
“Elder Feng, there has been no trace of the Empress for all these years.
We have almost found the 20-year-old woman, so let's go search those remote villages today.
What if I have searched everywhere and still can’t find it?
The elder known as Elder Feng sighed.
"That barrier is getting weaker and weaker. I don't think it will last much longer. If we encounter the Demonic Beast Dynasty again, it will definitely break.
The empress has indeed not appeared for nearly a hundred years. I wonder if she encountered some accident, otherwise this would not happen.
If we can't find it, we can only go back and report the matter to the king."
"Elder Feng, could it be that the woman is no longer in Li County?"
"Anything is possible. Even this little clue took a lot of effort on my part to divine."
The group was a little discouraged.
"So what should we do now?"
"What should we do? Divide the work and search several villages. Meet up here before dark.
If we can’t find it, we’ll go back tomorrow.”
"What about those people?"
"Don't worry, the barrier will disappear naturally when the time comes. Let's go."
Sudden.
Nangong Jiu sat on Xiao Wang and appeared in front of everyone in a flash.
"Elder Feng, there's no need to look for him anymore!"
Elder Feng looked at Nangong Jiu excitedly.
"You, you are the empress?"
