Chapter 120 The Ninth Princess of Daxia is our Saint
Long Wudi stared at Yin Yuehua, wondering how to deal with her.
The high priest is dead. If the saint dies as well, the people of Southern Xinjiang will probably fall into chaos, and all kinds of demons and monsters may come out at that time.
Before he could think it through, he saw the eunuch chief coming hurriedly to report.
"Your Majesty, Lord Kang has awakened."
Hearing this, Long Wudi could no longer sit still and immediately went to visit Kang You, while Yin Yuehua continued to be locked in the dark room.
"Your Majesty, I thought I would never see you again." Kang You wiped away his tears as soon as he saw Long Wudi.
He is so lucky.
When he was about to chop Yang Jiuxiao with the knife, his legs went limp and he fainted from fright.
He fainted at the right time, and Yang Jiuxiao thought he was dead so he didn't do anything, and that's how he escaped.
Long Wudi was not here to listen to his innermost thoughts; he had something more important to ask.
He interrupted Kang You, who was crying, and said, "Alright, my dear, stop crying. Tell me about the Ninth Princess and what the thunderbolt is all about."
Kang You hesitated for a moment, then asked cautiously, "Which Ninth Princess are you asking about?"
Although he took Yang Jiuxiao and the other two back to the embassy that day, he also sent people to find out what the loud noise was about.
When he learned that it was a secret weapon developed by Da Xia and named the Ninth Princess, he was completely dumbfounded.
"How many nine princesses are there in Daxia?" Now it was Long Wudi's turn to be confused.
Kang You quickly told him about the secret weapon.
Long Wudi was stunned.
"With such a big commotion, wouldn't it be possible to blow up a palace?"
"That's right." Kang You nodded.
"I also tried to find out the formula of the secret weapon, but Emperor Xia was very cautious and could not find anything."
Long Wudi's heart sank.
If Daxia uses this secret weapon to deal with them, Southern Xinjiang may be unable to resist.
Thinking of this, he felt a little annoyed: "Tell me about the living Ninth Princess, the daughter of Emperor Xia."
"I obey your command." Kang You rubbed his aching head and recounted in detail what happened at the banquet that day.
Long Wudi listened very carefully.
Finally, he suddenly asked, "Is the Ninth Princess of Daxia more powerful than Yang Jiuxiao?"
Kang You nodded.
"As far as I can remember, she did just this one move."
He imitated Lu Li's gesture in his memory and gave Long Wudi the middle finger.
"Just like that, the thunder came, and then the rain fell on Yang Jiuxiao, without touching anyone else at all."
Long Wudi looked at his raised middle finger and fell into deep thought.
"My dear, is there a possibility that the Ninth Princess of Daxia is our Saint?"
Kang You:?
Is your Majesty crazy? Why did you suddenly set your sights on Emperor Xia's daughter?
Emperor Xia loves his daughter as if she were his life. If Your Majesty kidnaps his precious daughter to Southern Xinjiang to be a saint, I am afraid that if she is taken away today, the secret weapon of Great Xia will blow up Southern Xinjiang tomorrow.
His Majesty's idea is too dangerous, he must stop it.
"Your Majesty, she is not from our Southern Border, how could she be a saint?" Kang You tried to convince Long Wudi.
"Don't you think the thunder that day and the thunder today are very similar?" The more Long Wudi thought about it, the more he felt it made sense.
Our ancestors never said that the saint would definitely descend on the southern border.
Otherwise, how could Yang Jiuxiao, who had traveled to every city in Southern Xinjiang, not be able to find a saint with real divine powers?
"Whether it is true or not, I will know after I go and see it myself." Long Wudi made a bold decision.
He wanted to go to Daxia in person to meet the Ninth Princess.
If the Ninth Princess is really their destined saint, then they are one family and there is no need to give them the 500,000 taels of silver.
The more he thought about it, the more he felt that this trip was necessary.
"Your Majesty, please think twice. The country cannot be without a ruler for a day!" Kang You felt dizzy when he heard this.
"I feel relieved to have you here, my dear."
Long Wudi gave him a trusting smile, then turned and left.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." Kang You wanted to get up and chase him, but as soon as he sat up, he felt dizzy and had to lie down again, watching Long Wudi leave.
Long Wudi returned to the dark room.
Yin Yuehua was startled when she saw him, and she bit her lip, not daring to say a word.
"Let her go."
Long Wudi made a gesture to the people guarding her, indicating that they should release her.
Yin Yuehua was stunned. His Majesty actually let her go so easily? She was a little dazed and looked at Long Wudi in disbelief.
"I'll give you a chance. You continue to be the saint. You should pretend the same way as before. You are not allowed to reveal a single word about Yang Jiuxiao. Do you remember?" Long Wudi stared at her expressionlessly.
Yin Yuehua didn't understand why he did this, but as long as he was alive, she nodded hastily with an extremely obedient expression: "I'll remember."
"Send the saint back to rest." Long Wudi closed his eyes.
Since everything is fake, why not take the power of the high priest into your own hands?
From now on, he will interpret the will of God.
Long Wudi announced to the outside world that Yang Jiuxiao had attained immortality and ascended to heaven. The confidant he selected, Ning Qi, was the successor personally chosen by the high priest.
The truth remained in the palace forever.
After arranging for the men to stay in the palace, Long Wudi traveled lightly, taking only a few secret guards with him, and set off for Daxia.
Kang You was unable to control his willful emperor and could only accept his fate and handle government affairs for him.
However, Long Wudi was still a step too late. Before him, someone had already set his sights on the Ninth Princess.
…
"Are you sure the Ninth Princess will show up today?" Liang Feiying asked his brother in a low voice.
"Sure, I spent a lot of money to buy this information." Liang Feiyun nodded seriously.
Today is the wedding day of the eldest princess Lu Yao. It is said that the ninth princess loves the hustle and bustle, so she will definitely attend the wedding banquet.
"Okay, then let's do this big thing. Once we sneak the Ninth Princess out, we'll be rich." Liang Feiying's eyes were full of excitement.
Not long ago, someone found the two brothers and asked them to steal the ninth princess of Daxia. After the task was completed, they would be rewarded with ten thousand taels of gold.
How could they resist such temptation? Even though they knew they would be caught and beheaded if they failed, they still agreed.
After all, the other party gave too much...
The two brothers are two famous thieves in Da Xia, known as the Divine Hand Shadow and the Wonderful Hand Cloud.
When they take action, they never miss.
The other party chose them because of their fame.
"Okay, big brother, I'll listen to you. After we finish this job, we'll retire and live out our retirement in peace." Liang Feiyun was also looking forward to this move.
They had stolen many things before, but this was the first time they had stolen anything from a royal princess.
The two looked at each other and blended into the crowd.
