"Oh no! I just heard from people in the city that the high priest has arrived with a lot of people. They seem to be in the city lord's mansion right now. They are counting on the high priest's arrival. They might immediately chase us down and find our whereabouts."
Ye Jiajia's words shocked them!
What's going on?
Wasn't it said that Saint Zhao Yueyao was in charge of this matter? Why did their high priest suddenly come here, just to capture Lu Yun?
"I think even Zhao Yueyao won't be able to stop them this time. Maybe a rift has already formed between them and they can't adjust."
"I'm afraid that this time the high priests must know or guess that you are in Wutong City. They may be searching for us vigorously."
Listening to Jia Jia's words, Lu Yun was also a little puzzled... What on earth was going on?
The sudden arrival of the high priest was indeed not good news for him. Even Zhao Yueyao would be trapped, and he would not be able to leave safely.
"But now the city gates are about to close. We are definitely too late. We can only hide as before."
"good."
At the same time, inside the City Lord's Mansion.
After learning that the high priest had come to their Wutong City, they were extremely happy. Even the city lord did not expect that the high priest would come in person.
The high priest is an old man with more experience and greater strength, so I prefer to report to someone like the high priest.
"High Priest, you are finally here."
The mayor of Wutong City looked fawning and servile, showing his pug-like temperament.
When facing the saint Zhao Yueyao, he had never been so humble.
Zhao Yueyao looked at the City Lord and wondered if she, a saintly maiden, was truly unworthy. How could even the City Lord be so unwilling to see her?
"Well, City Lord, there's no need to be so polite. I came to Wutong City today just to arrest someone, a dog eunuch named Lu!"
"Saint, this mission has been going on for so long, and you still haven't found the person?"
Zhao Yueyao was stunned for a moment and shook her head. "High Priest, you're joking. You know how versatile this Lu is. He has a Grandmaster by his side who can disguise himself as anyone."
"Finding him is as difficult as climbing to the sky, so it's like looking for a needle in a haystack. It's normal that I can't find him."
The high priest disagreed. Luo Feng said coldly, "But I heard that a master master under the Saint was killed. And the Saint ordered a city-wide manhunt on the first night she arrived. It caused a lot of complaints at the time."
"If I'm not mistaken, the Saint did see that dog eunuch named Lu, so she ordered a city-wide search for him."
"As for that Grandmaster under your command, he must have encountered danger while traveling with you. This danger came from that dog eunuch named Lu. He hasn't finished his elixirs yet, which really ruined your good fortune."
"It was clearly that eunuch surnamed Lu who encountered you, yet you have kept it a secret and haven't reported it to anyone yet."
"What's going on? Could it be that the Saint has really fallen in love with this bastard named Lu? Saint, listen carefully, you are the Saint of our Miao nation, you absolutely cannot have any romantic feelings."
"Tell me where that Lu is, or I'll tell His Majesty. I'm afraid you, the Saint, will be in danger, don't you think?"
Zhao Yueyao was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then looked calm, but he was actually very panicked in his heart, because he knew that he had indeed found Lu Yun, and the two of them had a very wonderful relationship.
"Without the High Priest, and without any evidence, it's not good to just say such things."
"Even if I go before His Majesty, I can still say that you are framing me unless you can produce evidence!"
The high priest naturally had no evidence to support his statement. He just wanted to blackmail Zhao Yueyao to find out what the real situation was.
Zhao Yueyao looked nonchalant, her expression didn't change much at all, and she drank her coffee calmly.
However, the high priest is no pushover. After serving as a high priest for so many years and also being a general in the military camp, it is normal for him to have to read people's faces.
"Okay, okay, Saint, you won't tell me, right? Even if you don't tell me, we can still find out. Even if we don't have any evidence, at least we know that the man surnamed Lu is in Wutong City."
"Catch him, and everything will come to light. I heard that when the Saint came back that night, she was accompanied by a man."
"According to my guess, the person you brought with you was probably that dog eunuch surnamed Lu. I'm extremely disappointed that you were able to get along with him."
"Okay, okay, Saint, go back to the palace now and apologize to His Majesty. Look at what you have done!"
Zhao Yueyao looked nonchalant when she heard this, "How have I committed any crime?"
"High Priest, please don't confuse right and wrong here. Some things are not what you said, and you can't slander them casually."
Luo Feng didn't care about so many things. He had always disliked Zhao Yueyao in his heart, and the two of them had always been in a hostile situation.
"Alright, now order a full-scale manhunt. We must capture that bastard named Lu. He must be in the city. He must be in the city."
"yes!"
So they closed the city gate again, but this time they had a treasure that could help them capture the man named Lu as soon as possible.
The high priest took out a small token from his pocket and spoke to an adjutant beside him.
"Take this token. Once you get close to Mr. Lu, it will react. He may even feel dizzy, nauseous, or faint. Then, you can easily find the rebels from the Great Qin."
"yes!"
Looking at their treacherous appearance, Zhao Yueyao was speechless!
However, she did not expect that the high priest not only did not trust her this time, but also brought so many loyal subordinates and today's methods. If she guessed correctly, this should be the token given by the Han Empire to the Qin royal family.
We can't just rely on this token to judge, is there really no one left alive from the Qin royal family?
However, the person who was most worried at this moment was Zhao Yueyao. She was really afraid that Lu Yun would be scared out of his wits, or accidentally reveal his own affairs.
After all, what Lu Yun said to him at the time was still very terrifying.
