Chapter 110: Sweeping the World
The fifth prince found it hard to accept this, and turned to ask Fan Jingrui to persuade Chu Ci, but Fan Jingrui just turned his head away and pretended not to hear.
At this time, the fifth prince secretly hated his father, the emperor, and his mother for being too stingy. They only gave him tasks but did not assign any manpower, which made him so stretched that he was now in a tight spot.
But time is pressing and there is no room for delay.
The Fifth Prince had no choice but to cough fakely to hide his embarrassment, then said, "I'm not in a position to promise you this, but I will do my best to get it for you."
The fifth prince thought that after talking to this point, Chu Ci would understand.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ci had long been annoyed by the emperor's repeated use of her. She casually took out a contract from her bag (in the space) and said, "Sign it, and I will trust you."
The fifth prince was even more depressed now.
But he repeatedly ran into obstacles with Chu Ci, so he took his anger out on the always-rule-abiding Fan Jingrui. He said to Fan Jingrui in a sarcastic tone, "Cousin, you really married a good wife."
Fan Jingrui, however, seemed oblivious to the Fifth Prince's sarcasm and instead expressed his gratitude in a serious tone. "Thank you for the compliment, cousin."
Chu Ci burst out laughing when he heard that, and did not forget to give Fan Jingrui a thumbs up in praise.
The fifth prince held his breath and said, "I said enough! I'm still here!"
Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui naturally understood the principle of knowing when to stop.
Chu Ci instantly put away the contract he had taken out to facilitate the performance, and then he solemnly asked, "Is there anyone around the Fifth Prince who understands formations?"
At the critical moment, the Fifth Prince reacted very quickly. "Do you suspect there's a formation on the mountain near Shenjia Village? Isn't that something that's been lost?"
Lost? In other words, this powerful weapon, the formation, did exist.
Chu Ci became even more certain of his guess: "Then how do you explain the disappearance of the Purple-Robed Envoy and his group? Or in your opinion, is there any force that could easily wipe out the Purple-Robed Envoy?"
However, in the mind of the fifth prince, there was indeed no such force.
The key point is that he really doesn't have a formation master. Not only him, but I'm afraid that his father and mother don't have any either. "Then do you have any other ideas?"
"If normal means don't work, then we'll use brute force." When Chu Ci came up with this simple and crude method, the Fifth Prince almost fainted.
"Our mission is to save people, not to alert the enemy—"
Chu Ci sneered when he heard this: "After the Purple Envoy was trapped, I'm afraid the snake has been startled."
How could the Fifth Prince not have thought of this? He was anxious because he had thought of it!
But he still didn't give up, "Is there really no other way?"
Chu Ci's answer was quite straightforward, with an air of doubt or disbelief: "Anyway, I don't understand formations."
The Fifth Prince thought for a moment and finally made up his mind: "I will go find Zhang Yaoyang."
As soon as the Fifth Prince left, Fan Jingrui took Chu Ci's hand and said affectionately, "My wife, you don't have to sacrifice yourself for me."
Chu Ci couldn't stand this. He shuddered and pulled his hand away. "Don't—I'm not that selfless. In fact, I'm just fed up with the royal family's attitude of wanting the horse to run without eating grass."
However, the more Chu Ci spoke like this, the less Fan Jingrui believed it.
He even felt a little guilty, guilty that he was unable to provide a stable home for his wife.
It seems that he really needs to find a suitable time to transfer his hidden karma to the surface.
Chu Ci didn't know all this, otherwise, she would have sighed and said, "He is indeed the future villain, he hides himself so well!"
On the other side of the Fifth Emperor, for some reason, after agreeing to Chu Ci's proposal, the Fifth Prince became extremely anxious.
Therefore, even though he was ridiculed by Chu Ci, the Fifth Prince still held Chu Ci and Fan Jingrui tightly to his side.
Instead, as time passed, the soldiers advanced layer by layer according to the plan. During this period, they were constantly harassed by various small animals, but the vicious tiger that often attacked and bit people never appeared.
"Could it be that the people in the mountains not only escaped by themselves, but also took the tiger away with them?" The fifth prince became more and more anxious as he watched the soldiers gradually relax.
At this moment, a man covered in blood suddenly ran out of the dense forest ahead. "Help, help!"
A person suddenly appeared in the depths of the dense forest, which looked very strange no matter how you looked at it.
Without the Fifth Prince's order, someone stepped forward and kicked the man, and then someone else quickly stepped forward to help and together they subdued the man.
When the soldiers were about to take the man away for questioning, Chu Ci saw his face clearly. Isn't this Niuniu's father who was captured by the pirates?
Chu Ci hurriedly shouted: "Wait, let me bandage him first."
Because of Chu Ci's special status, the soldiers did not dare to stop him.
Although Niuniu's father was breathing more heavily than inhaling, he still tried to stop her, saying, "No, leave me alone. Tiger, Tiger is right behind us."
When Chu Ci heard this, he didn't bother to ask the reason, and immediately stood up and ordered: "Everyone enter the state of alert--"
Almost at the same time, a huge, snow-white tiger suddenly rushed into the crowd. It was extremely fast, like lightning. In a blink of an eye, two people were knocked to the ground and seriously injured.
Some of the soldiers closest to the scene were so frightened that they wet their pants, while others reacted quickly and shouted, "Everyone, attack together!"
But this tiger seemed to have received special training in fighting against enemies, and even though there were many soldiers, they were unable to cause any harm to it for a while.
The Fifth Prince decisively ordered: "Soldiers, retreat. An Qi, you go!"
Chu Ci took the opportunity to treat Niuniu's father's wound. Unexpectedly, "Xing'er" in the space suddenly reminded him: "Master, there is someone 50 meters to the right, preparing to evacuate. Please intercept him as soon as possible."
Chu Ci finally saw the clue. Niu Niu's father was just a bait to divert attention, and his status was not even comparable to Baihu's.
Chu Ci gritted his teeth, grabbed Niuniu's father with one hand, and quickly ran to the Fifth Prince, pointing his finger: "Cousin, that person is probably the one you think about day and night."
The man had no idea that he would be exposed. He paused for a moment, but only for a moment before increasing his speed to the extreme.
But do you think you can escape like this?
After following the Fifth Prince, I finally saw him in person. My eyes turned green with envy. He is simply risking his life!
In fact, one-to-many is always at a disadvantage.
Even if the person who came had excellent lightness skills, he would not be able to use his advantage if he was surrounded and blocked by dozens of people at the same time.
In just a few minutes, the man was tied up and brought before the Fifth Prince. "Tell me, where is your lair?"
"It's useless. You're too late. The place has been emptied by the master's men." The man didn't answer but laughed instead.
