But if you dare to resist, you will be regarded as a rebel and will surely die.
He stood up and kowtowed quickly on the ground, his face swollen as he sobbed, "Grandpa, please spare me, Grandpa, please spare me."
"Three days, I will give you three more days to bring back the little girl with the spirit pearl to me. If you can't do it, don't come to me again. Just go to the pagoda tree and get a rope." Jiu Qiansui said expressionlessly.
An Dianlian and the other ten were overjoyed and kowtowed quickly, their foreheads bleeding: "Thank you very much, Grandpa. Thank you very much, Grandpa."
The Pagoda Tree is a three-hundred-year-old tree behind the Qiansui Palace. Its shape is like five canopies stacked up from small to large, which looks very much like a pagoda, so it was ordered by Emperor Taizu to be the Pagoda Tree.
This tree is large enough to provide shade, so the area under the tree is very yin, and is loved by birds and various insects. Many crow nests and insect nests are built under the tree. For those punished in the palace, the most miserable punishment is to commit suicide under the pagoda tree. While alive, they will be eaten by hundreds of insects, and after death, they will be eaten by birds, and even their souls will never be reborn.
"Go quickly, time is running out." Lord Xuanming said to the ten people who were still kowtowing.
An Dianlian and others thanked him again and immediately stood up and walked out of the hall.
After the Ten Eunuchs left, Lord Xuanming asked, "Nine Thousand Years Old, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. Why not let me take action in secret as well?"
Jiuqian Sui said, "The Lingzhu is of great importance and cannot be lost. The three sects of Huang, Bai and Ri are eyeing the world covetously. There is also Beimo Wanli City and the Overseas Immortal Dao Alliance coveting it. Your status is different from theirs. If you go out, those people will naturally know that I have important matters to attend to and will inevitably investigate the truth one after another. If the situation turns out like this, it will be bad."
Lord Xuanming nodded: "I understand."
…
After leaving Qiansui Palace, An Dianlian and his ten companions immediately rushed to Taide Hall, which was usually used to store intelligence sent by spies from all over the country.
As soon as they entered the room, the palace maids and eunuchs in the hall were frightened to see that all the Ten Attendants had come here at once. They immediately knelt on the ground, lowered their heads and dared not speak a word.
"Where is Li Zhaonian?" An Dianlian shouted.
Immediately, a man ran out from among the many bookshelves in the hall. He was a young official.
"Your humble servant, Li Zhaonian, greets all the eunuchs."
"General Yuan led his men to capture the Ninth Princess earlier. Has there been any news back?"
"My dear eunuchs, there has been no news from General Yuan for some time." Li Zhaonian said cautiously.
Xu Chu, one of the Ten Eunuchs, frowned and said, "We originally thought that with General Yuan's bravery, it would be no problem for him to capture the escaped Ninth Princess. Now it seems that he has most likely failed."
Liu Huanyi, one of the Ten Eunuchs, said to Li Zhaonian, "Give me a map of the Jiangnan region where Yuan Wudi went, and also draw his route on the map for me."
"As you command, I'll do it right away."
After Li Zhaonian left to do his work, An Dianlian waved away the servants and whispered to the other nine of the Ten Attendants, "The Grand Master has only given us three days this time. Those people down there don't know how tight the deadline is. Let's all head to Jiangnan together. We must absolutely capture that little girl, Li Qingqiao."
Xu Chu said: "We think it is not appropriate for all ten of us to go out together. Don't forget that old fellow Lin Po has been keeping an eye on us. Although his power is not as strong as Wugen Sect, if he takes advantage of our departure from Chang'an and joins forces with outsiders, then all our arrangements over the years will be ruined.
How about this, the five of you stay and guard Chang'an, while Liu Huanyi, Luo Yu, Liao Feiying, Liang Huajian and I go to Jiangnan to capture the men."
The ten eunuchs are all inner disciples of the Wugen Sect. They have practiced the entire volume of the "Nine Yin Extremes Taoist Scriptures". In terms of strength, they are comparable to Yuan Wudi. If all ten of them were to go out together, they would probably be the top arresting team in the world. Unless they are facing a master, they really don't fear anyone.
Even if only five people were dispatched, it would be quite terrifying.
There are really few masters of internal strength in the world who can resist it.
An Dianlian knew very well that if the Ten Attendants left Chang'an together, those who were enduring in Chang'an would probably become restless and unable to sit still.
At the moment, rebellions are rising everywhere. If something happens inside Chang'an again, the situation will be really bad. An Dianlian agreed: "Okay, the five of us will stay in Chang'an."
Without any delay, as soon as Xu Chu and the other four received the map of Yuan Wudi's southward route from Li Zhaonian, they immediately left Taide Hall and rushed to the Imperial Observatory.
Ajiu has the fate of a phoenix, and a fortune teller with open spiritual eyes can find him at a glance. This cannot be hidden. They took a few fortune tellers south with them, and it would be easier to find Ajiu.
…
The wedding date of Du Tankang and Su Qiaoqiao was set early on by their parents, who invited a fortune teller to predict the date. The date was finally set on the 15th of this month, which is only a few days away.
It can be seen that the marriage between these two families was decided a long time ago, but it was only announced recently.
In the past few days, Qin Yuesheng has been drinking with Du Tankang and others every day, and he has been drinking a lot.
As Qin Yuesheng was a master of internal force, with the help of his internal force, he could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. He drank until Du Tankang and others fell to the ground without any reaction of being drunk.
"Yuesheng, do you like that girl from the Su family?"
Inside the tavern, everyone else was drunk and asleep. Du Tankang, who was holding a jar of wine and leaning against the table leg, asked vaguely with his tongue bitten.
Fortunately, Qin Yuesheng had excellent hearing and heard it clearly.
"You're talking about Su Lanyin. What's wrong with liking her?" Qin Yuesheng said, holding a wine glass.
"That's great..." Du Tankang looked at the wine in the jar and seemed to be lost in thought.
