Chapter 219 Cloud City
They searched for him a thousand times in the crowd, and suddenly, turning around, they found him in the dim light. Joy burst forth from the eyes of the three of them.
Chirp chirp, "Clap clap!" [I'm looking for someone from the Prince of Zhennan's Mansion!]
"Your...Your Highness?"
The shopkeeper guessed, "You want to see the prince?"
But didn't the prince go to the capital to pick up the young master?
Chirp points to herself and shakes her head: "Pfft!"
She didn't want to go; she was afraid she'd end up arguing with the creepy uncle. But judging from the shopkeeper's behavior, the creepy uncle seemed to really like the handsome young man.
"Tsk, something's not right, something's not right." The shopkeeper walked around Qiuqiu twice, then suddenly remembered something very important—the age didn't match!
However, the jade pendant with the double fish design on her body was undeniably genuine.
Everyone in the Zhennan Prince's Mansion knew that the heir's token was a jade pendant with two fish and lotus patterns.
Before being transferred to manage the inn, the innkeeper had worked in the pawnshop business, so he could tell the difference between genuine and fake jade pendants, and whether they had patterns, with just a glance. This jade pendant with two fish motifs was exactly the same as the one the prince always wore, so he couldn't possibly mistake it!
Let's not worry about that for now, let's take them back first!
"Please come back to the Prince's Mansion with me first."
[My godfather is definitely trying to fool me. It's so simple! I've already moved into the Prince of Zhennan's mansion!]
Wishwood: She really is a goddess!
Even with half her luck depleted, Qiuqiu is still an incredibly lucky little girl. In less than half a day, she went from being a headless chicken in Yuncheng to a distinguished guest of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion.
Chirp: Personal charisma is simply invincible!
However, what she and Yuanmu didn't know was that they had been targeted by the people of Naduohe from the moment they entered the city.
After seeing Qiuqiu and her group enter the gate of the Zhennan Prince's Mansion, the little beggar in gray stood guard at the gate for about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn. When no one came out, he hurriedly went back to report the news.
Shao Family of Yuncheng
The ancient houses unique to Southwest China should be products of cultural heritage, but now they only give people a sense of lifelessness and powerlessness.
The middle-aged man sitting at the head of the table was thin with sunken cheeks. "Cough cough cough, Na Duohe... cough cough cough cough..."
Nadohe sat opposite him and silently handed him her handkerchief, saying, "My lord."
Shao Xin nodded: "Are you sure Gu Qiuheng has left the Southwest?"
Na Duohe said, "They've left. But the people from Baihua Village have moved into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. I suspect that Baihua Village and the Zhennan Prince have joined forces."
After confirming that Gu Qiuheng was no longer in the Southwest, Shao Xin's smile became even more pronounced, but due to the gloomy aura emanating from him, his otherwise decent face became frighteningly distorted.
"Ha, didn't you bring all the people from Hundred Flowers Village back with you? A bunch of useless trash!"
He suddenly grabbed all the white jade chess pieces on the table and threw them at Naduohe's head, yelling, "Useless! What good are you to me!"
Baihua Village, a village with fewer than a hundred residents, took Naduohe fifteen years to besiege! Naduohe said, "They're gone. But the people of Baihua Village have moved into the Zhennan Prince's Mansion. I suspect that Baihua Village and the Zhennan Prince have joined forces."
After confirming that Gu Qiuheng was no longer in the Southwest, Shao Xin's smile became even more pronounced, but due to the gloomy aura emanating from him, his otherwise decent face became frighteningly distorted.
"Ha, didn't you bring all the people from Hundred Flowers Village back with you? A bunch of useless trash!"
He suddenly grabbed all the white jade chess pieces on the table and threw them at Naduohe's head, yelling, "Useless! What good are you to me!"
Baihua Village is a village with fewer than a hundred villagers, yet it took Naduohe fifteen years to besiege them! If it weren't for capturing the two people imprisoned in the water dungeon, they probably wouldn't have even been able to get close to Baihua Village.
"Naduohe, my patience is limited. I'll only give you three days. After three days, I want all those two in the water dungeon and that child named Qiuqiu!"
"As for Hundred Flowers Village..."
"Then I want them dead!"
Na Duohe dared not persuade him any further and nodded in agreement, "Your subordinate obeys. I have already developed the Truth Powder. I will secretly put it into Su Junyao's and the others' food tonight. Once he dies, the group will be leaderless, which will be a good opportunity for us to make our move!"
Na Duohe was extremely obsequious, squatting down to pick up every chess piece that Shao Xin had thrown away and wiping them clean with paper. "Don't worry, I've got you covered."
Shao Xincai is worried because of him!
"You and Chi Yuan have already cost me countless lives. If Su Junyao doesn't die this time, then you will die!"
Na Duohe smiled but remained silent. He had thousands of ways to kill Su Junyao. But getting anything out of Su Junyao was a different story. The man was as stubborn as a clam; he was at his wit's end!
Shao Xin grabbed Na Duohe by the collar, and the two suddenly came close to nose to nose. His eyes were fixed straight ahead, which startled Na Duohe so much that his eyes turned cross-eyed.
Only those who truly understand Shao Xin can discern just how ruthless this man really is...
Shao Xin: "Remember, I need the marching map of the Yun family army guarding the border!"
Naduohe: "Yes, yes, I understand."
Shao Xinsong let go, slumped back into the chair, and clutched a small silver bottle, sniffing it desperately. "Take a deep breath, feel like you're in heaven... Naduohe, don't disappoint me... Get lost!"
Na Duohe barely dared to linger and turned to run. Only when he reached a secluded spot did he spit on the ground, muttering, "That madman's standards are pretty high! Getting that stuff on his hands..."
At the beginning, Na Duohe cooperated with Shao Nian or the entire Shao family, but by the time he realized something was wrong, he had already been taken control by Shao Xin.
He's only superficially successful; in reality, he's a rat caught in the street. And now, living in the dark and hopeless world of Advanced Mathematics, he's about to replace Shao Nian as the uncrowned king of Yun City!
The water dungeon in the Shao family mansion was built underground, at the back and in a low-lying area. Fresh water from all directions flowed into it. However, after Shao Nian became the head of the family, he ordered it to be separated.
The stagnant water smelled of decay and was filled with the stench of corpses. Two men occupied the water on either side of it.
Su Junyao tugged at the chains, "You can't escape."
Su Jinze had already thought of this, "but he won't die."
The people who captured them didn't seem to want to die so soon, but the feeling of waiting for death was still unpleasant.
"Once I get out, I'll tear them to pieces!"
"Hahaha! Then I'll wait for the day when the Marquis can realize this goal as soon as possible." Na Duohe pushed the door open from the outside, waved the long whip covered with barbs in his hand with disdain, and his bloodthirsty and perverted smile made people feel cold. "Your child has come to Yuncheng."
Su Junyao struggled to kill him, shouting, "You're threatening me with my daughter!"
Na Duohe grabbed Su Junyao's chin, forcing him to look at him: "I'll ask you one more time, where is the Yun family's marching map?"
Su Junyao sneered: "I don't know!"
Na Duohe: "Then shall I go ask your daughter?"
Su Junyao: "You dare!"
