Chapter 606: Being Played With Too Young
Yu Cang, in a head-on collision of momentum, defeated Sachan—defeated a guardian of the country.
Seeing this scene, not only Sachan, but even Qiu Jindong and Du Yanran who were standing beside him had eyes filled with inextricable shock.
This is nothing else but this kind of head-on confrontation with momentum. There is no room for tricks. Weak is weak. Even if there are many powerful soul cards in your deck, they will not be able to play any role in this kind of confrontation.
However, now was obviously not the time to be shocked, so they could only hide this emotion in their eyes and look at Sachan with an expression of "it should be so".
In front, Lou Yan looked a little panicked after hearing what Sachan said.
"Prison?"
Although I have never been there, I have heard of this place before.
Is that kind of place suitable for human beings to stay?
Although Sachan said that no one dared to touch his elder brother in there, and he was well fed and well cared for, but...
At that moment, he hurriedly asked: "Can I go see Big Brother?"
Faced with this question, Sachan said decisively:
"no."
"Why?"
"The prison is a key location for the Hunter Clan. No one is allowed in."
Sachan turned his head and glanced at Yu Cang.
"I can't make the decision on this matter... I need the Imperial Master's approval."
Lou Yan was puzzled: "I'm just visiting the prison. When did it require so many procedures?"
Although he had never been in there before, if he really wanted to go in and play, no one would stop him.
Not to mention him, even some ordinary people who want to visit can write an application and wait for it to be approved. Why can't he do that now?
"I hope you'll forgive me. There was a prison break a while ago, and it caused quite a stir, resulting in heavy casualties. Therefore, no one is allowed in or out of the prison recently," Sachan explained. "Also... I'm afraid the strong smell of blood in there might offend your eyes, which would be rude."
Hearing this, Lou Yan became more anxious.
"I'm not going to help anyone escape from prison!"
"Well... I know, but this is the order of the national master, I hope you can understand." Sachan smiled.
He definitely doesn't believe this.
After all, there are quite a few people imprisoned in that prison, and Yu Cang and the others might be interested in some of them.
Both sides had their own purposes in this exchange, and they knew it all, so naturally they wouldn't feel at ease.
Lou Yan was naturally unwilling to accept this. He opened his mouth to say something else, but Yu Cang had already grabbed him.
"We will submit an application to the Imperial Master."
"That's natural."
Sachan brought the group to the post station in the King's Court and then turned and left.
As they walked along, they saw that the king's court was paved with jade and inlaid with gold, and was extremely prosperous. It was far from what they saw in the first tent.
The furnishings in the post station looked very high-end and could not be compared with the big tent in the Killing Army.
All the resources of the lower class were used to supply the upper class, which built up such a large royal court.
When he arrived at the post station, Lou Yan still had his head down, his eyes lonely, and looked very unwilling.
Yu Cang glanced at him.
"Are you still worried?"
"Hmm... Teacher." Lou Yan took a deep breath. "That Sachan himself said that he was afraid of the blood inside... Big Brother will definitely not be as safe as he said in that place."
To some extent, the reason he is still alive is because of the secret help of his elder brother.
So, he couldn't help but worry about him.
Yu Cang nodded.
"What's your eldest brother's name?"
"His name is Lou Han..."
"I understand," Yu Cang said. "I understand how you feel, but you have to know that there's no point in getting anxious right now. That Sachan has clearly rejected you, so unless you offer some significant leverage, he won't relent."
"...I understand, teacher." Lou Yan nodded slowly.
"But you don't have to worry." Yu Cang patted Lou Yan's shoulder. "Are you confused? When we met just now, the Imperial Master didn't suggest taking you away, but let you follow us back to the post station?"
"Hmm...it's true." Lou Yan looked up at Yu Cang, "Teacher, why is this?"
Fashi has already said that he has the key to steal the power of immortality, which is exactly what the national teacher wants.
Then why is the Imperial Master still indifferent now that he has arrived at the Grand Court?
"They did it on purpose." Yu Cang explained, "Sa Jue understood very well that one of the purposes of our trip was to meet Emperor Khan. You are our bargaining chip. If he wants you, we will definitely take the opportunity to ask for a meeting with Emperor Khan. If he doesn't agree, we won't let you go easily.
"So he's not in a hurry—whoever speaks first is at a disadvantage. In his view, we're already on his territory and can't escape no matter what. So he can keep us hanging, tempting us to reveal more of our tactics, bargaining chips, and intentions."
Lou Yan nodded thoughtfully.
He doesn't mind being used as a "chip".
"Then..." Lou Yan thought for a moment, "Teacher, is this also the reason why you accepted me as your apprentice?"
"Of course not. I won't accept a disciple for this purpose. Now that I have accepted you, I will be responsible." Yu Cang shook his head. "However, I don't know what Sa Jue is thinking."
Perhaps, the National Master would think that he accepted Lou Yan as his disciple just to have a reason to keep him by their side when they wanted to take Lou Yan back, and to make Lou Yan more important as a "bargaining chip".
Therefore, if Cang takes the initiative to return Lou Yan, it is equivalent to taking away this part of the bargaining chips.
I can only say that as an old fox, it is understandable that the national teacher thinks this way.
But this has nothing to do with Yu Cang. Since Lou Yan has become his apprentice, he must protect him.
"Yeah!" Lou Yan nodded vigorously, "I believe in the teacher!"
"So, don't be influenced by Sachan's words. He's clearly deliberately creating a dangerous environment in the prison, hoping to make you curious and destroy the relationship between you and me as master and disciple."
"……I see."
Yu Cang glanced at Lou Yan and smiled.
"Just now, were you thinking of running away alone and sneaking into the prison?"
"Eh? I didn't!" Lou Yan said quickly, "I was just thinking about it... I didn't plan to put it into practice!"
"I know."
Yu Cang couldn't help but smile.
I really thought about it.
Yes, Lou Yan dared to come to Yan Country to seek help without knowing anything. He must have been very brave. What's more, this was on his own territory.
But Yu Cang also believed that Lou Yan had a sense of the overall situation and would not act on his own.
"Let's not talk about that. We definitely have to go to the prison, and we will definitely be able to see your eldest brother."
Yu Cang was very firm when he said this.
They still know too little about the internal affairs of the Great Royal Court. Lou Han is a good way to obtain information, and contact with him is inevitable.
Hearing this, Lou Yan was very surprised: "Really?"
"certainly."
"It won't affect your plans, will it?"
“That’s part of the plan.”
"That's good." Lou Yan breathed a sigh of relief, then suddenly became serious and bowed to Yu Cang, "Thank you, teacher."
"It's okay, go and rest."
"Uh-huh!"
…
After Lou Yan left, Yu Cang put away the smile on his face.
He looked out the window, his eyes flashing with thought from time to time.
Besides that reason...
Yu Cang stretched out his hand and looked at the soul card at his fingertips.
This is a... banned card!
However, it does not have the harmfulness of a normal card ban... or rather, the harmfulness is so small that it can be almost ignored.
Because the material of this soul card is just a drop of blood.
That was the drop of blood that Wen Yang gave him when the Jade Border God descended!
At the beginning, Wen Yang asked Yu Cang to let him go after the God's Descent ended, so that he could be Yu Cang's undercover agent and pass on information to Yu Cang at the critical moment.
He gave Yu Cang a drop of blood. As long as this drop of blood was melted into any soul card, it could be contaminated into a banned card, and... this card could be used to communicate with Wen Yang!
And when Yu Cang arrived at the Great King's Court, three words appeared on this soul card.
Come to the prison
Obviously, this was the message Wen Yang conveyed to Yu Cang.
Looking at this soul card, Yu Cang frowned.
This card was too weak, so weak that it could only transmit information in one direction. Yu Cang couldn't even send a message back to ask about the situation.
Maybe Wen Yang was also afraid that if he made a big mistake, it would be difficult to hide it from Madam Yu.
This is certainly done for the sake of caution, but with such a weak card, the amount of information that can be transmitted at one time is very limited.
Like this time, three words are already the limit.
Wen Yang asked him to go to the prison... Was he there to convey some information to him in person?
Or is there some secret in the prison that Yu Cang needs to take a look at?
even……
Yu Cang's eyes narrowed slightly.
Could it be that this is just a trap, Wen Yang is not one of them at all, and the purpose of doing this is just to make Yu Cang jump into it himself?
...Just right.
Whether it is intelligence or a trap, either one is what Yu Cang wants.
It seems that he must go to this prison.
At the very least, we can verify Wen Yang's position and examine whether the information he provided is credible.
Thinking of this, he put away the forbidden card and instead took out the place of descending chariot.
"Senior Taichu?" Yu Cang called out, "Is Senior here? I have something to tell you."
Soul Card was silent for a moment.
The next second, a hint of blood overflowed from it, and Tai Chu in a black robe appeared in the air.
Yu Cang blinked.
Hmm...why does it feel like Senior Tai Hina is in a much more disheveled state than when he first entered?
No way, the environment inside the Land of the Rising Chariot should be nice, how could it make people feel so embarrassed? Besides, Taichung is a myth.
Tai Hina: “…What are you looking at?”
She did not take off her black robe... After all, her current expression was somewhat resentful, which was not in line with her aura as a myth at all!
The one who made Taichu lose his composure like this was definitely Chao Ci!
After seeing the Creator in the Land of Descending, she developed a strong interest in him and began to actively look for Chao Ci's traces.
The place was not very big, and since Taichu was determined to find her, Chaoci had no way to hide... Besides, after realizing that Taichu was looking for her, Chaoci never tried to hide again.
As soon as they met, Tai Chu directly stated her purpose - she wanted to gain a deeper understanding of Chao Ci's life structure and essence!
Two thousand years have taught her a lesson: instead of beating around the bush, it's better to speak directly.
She thought this sentence might make Chao Ci angry, but to her surprise, Chao Ci didn't react at all, just said "Oh".
Tai Chu was also stunned at the time, thinking that Chao Ci had tacitly agreed. He was about to go up and touch him when he heard Chao Ci speak lightly.
"Please help me decorate the rockery over there. After all, the imitation of Yan Country scenery at night is not as profound as the real Yan Country people."
Looking at Chao Ci's calm and composed appearance, Tai Chu really wanted to say that she was not a Yan person, because Yan country had not yet been established when she was born.
But in the end, she just curled her lips.
Who asked her to ask for something from Chao Ci?
And she had indeed long felt that the rockery was awkward... Although it was beautiful, some of the aesthetic details were still a bit abrupt.
She just can't stand such imperfections.
Then let her make some changes... She is over two thousand years old, she has learned everything, and of course she has some knowledge of garden landscape composition.
I don't know why, but if someone else had spoken to her like that, she would have been furious... Dare to order her around? Do you really think she's not a card banner?
However, in the face of Chao Ci's request, even though he didn't show any begging tone, Tai Chu didn't resist too much, but seemed very happy.
Perhaps, this is the affinity of the Creator, the Mother of All Things.
After finally finishing the rockery, I thought I could start studying Chao Ci, but Chao Ci continued:
"And that pond... It was fine originally, but now that the rockery layout has changed, it's no longer pleasing to the eye."
OK.
A new life.
Then just do it... Indeed, it looks awkward.
She likes it here too, so let's change it up.
Too young, and has a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
As a result, inexplicably and mysteriously, she, a legendary card banner, did nothing but work as a construction worker in the Land of Descent!
Even in his spare time, he often served tea and water to Chao Ci.
And all this was done for Chao Ci's body...
Why does it sound weird?
Oh no, she has become a bootlicker and a scumbag!
Until the second before Yu Cang called her out, she was still painstakingly working on a small pavilion, even using the Taiyan sword intent to calculate a visually perfect data.
As for the original idea of studying Chao Ci's body, there has been no substantial progress at all!
After being called by Yu Cang, she suddenly realized that she had been played into his hands...
Damn it, I’ve lived like a dog for two thousand years.
In order to hide her embarrassment, she did not take off her hood when she came out to see Yu Cang.
But, it's strange.
She didn't have a good temper, but after she realized what was happening, she was not angry with Chao Ci. Instead, she laughed and felt it was interesting.
That's strange.
It can’t be because Chao Ci is cute.
She has seen all kinds of cute things.
Uh...the Creator has indeed never seen it.
Tai Hyun shook his head, driving these strange thoughts out of his mind.
"Tell me what you want from me."
"Senior Taichu." Yu Cangyi bowed, "I want to explore the Hunter Clan's prison tonight. Would you be willing to come with me?"
