Chapter 634: Night Visit to the Great City God
Even if the White Elephant Dragon is a real dragon, what good can it do? It will only add another evil dragon to the world, and there will be no good in it.
The Immortal Jin Ting just provoked his anger casually, then turned around and went to the Prince of Wu's Mansion to keep an eye on him.
The King of Wu returned victorious, carrying with him immense luck and prestige, making the entire Gusu submit to him.
For such a big happy event, it is natural to reward the three armies and hold a grand banquet for all the ministers.
Today, Gusu has long become the small court of King Wu. Those who refuse to submit have been eliminated in waves of purges, either overt or covert.
The King of Wu should have been proud and happy, but when he returned to his palace, there was only dead silence.
"Shun'er!" The princess cried incessantly in front of the prince's sickbed, which made King Wu upset.
But is the princess really that sad? I'm afraid not.
It wasn't that she didn't love her child, but she was more worried about herself than the child. If the Crown Prince really couldn't survive, then the Wu throne would eventually fall into the hands of the King of Jian'an and the King of Linchuan, which would be an extremely huge blow to her.
So at this moment, she was filled with worry and fear about the future, and she also hoped that the prince could successfully overcome the disaster.
The King of Wu was silent. He looked at the Crown Prince's increasingly thin face, and there seemed to be a fire burning in his heart, ready to burst out at any time.
It was already so late at night, but he still couldn't sleep.
He had few children; more accurately, the entire Dagan royal family had no tradition of having many children. The previous emperor had only a few brothers, and many died in the struggle for the throne. The King of Wu ultimately suffered little, perhaps due to his own ambition and dormancy, but also because the royal family was depleted.
When he came to the King of Wu, he took many wives, but only gave birth to three sons.
The eldest son was sent to the imperial capital at a young age and raised by his grandfather. In name, he was favored by the old emperor, but in reality, he was sent to the capital as a hostage.
The King of Wu felt extremely guilty and indebted to him, and later took the opportunity of the old emperor's death to bring his son back, and then he took good care of him. Fortunately, the prince also lived up to his expectations and did not let him down, but now he has suffered such hardships.
The princess was tired of crying and sat by the bed, refusing to leave.
King Wu took a deep breath and walked outside.
The princess was startled and immediately rushed over to grab his hand and asked, "Where are you going, Your Majesty?"
Seeing the fear in her eyes, King Wu simply patted her hand and said, "Let's go to the City God Temple."
The princess finally felt relieved and let him go.
Late at night like this, King Wu went to the City God Temple with his entourage.
When the Human King set out, he immediately ordered the spirits and gods to retreat. Wandering in the darkness, whispers and whispers, some ghosts asked, "What happened? Why did people first fight in the city, and now the King of Wu has been alarmed?"
Naturally, no one can answer this question.
The King of Wu personally visited the City God Temple, and even before he arrived he had already alarmed the Great City God.
The Great City God frowned and said to the judge beside him, "I should not have agreed to Shangfangshan. Now the culprit is here."
The judge said, "This matter has nothing to do with us. On a battlefield, with all the mixed energy, even the guardian gods would be blinded. How could they keep watch all the time? Besides, the Yuezhou Provincial Surveillance Commissioner has experts around him, so how can we be blamed?"
The Great City God laughed and said, "That being said, it would be difficult not to see the King of Wu in person."
It's not just that it's hard not to see him, it's that you have to see him.
The City God personally greeted them at the door.
The King of Wu had a stern look on his face, and the followers behind him were all strong and powerful, full of energy and blood, and surrounded by a murderous aura of military strategists. They were not afraid of ghosts or gods at all.
The Great City God greeted him with a bow, saying, "Greetings, King Wu. Why are you here so late at night?"
The King of Wu said nothing as he entered the City God Temple. The temple officials knelt on either side and saluted. He arrived at the main hall, where the golden statue of the Great City God was enshrined.
The King of Wu asked, "Great City God, I remember you telling me here that I had a destiny."
The Great City God felt a slight pang of bitterness in his heart, but his expression remained calm as he said, "The prince is now firmly entrenched in the southeast. Isn't this already confirmed?"
The King of Wu said, "But my son's soul has been separated from his body and is dying. Great City God, you said it was fate and the gods were protecting him, so why would his soul still be separated from his body?"
The Great City God sighed and said, "I have heard about the prince's affairs, but the battlefield is ever-changing, and the enemy has the help of evil demons. Even the eyes and ears of ghosts and gods cannot know everything."
The King of Wu took three incense sticks from the incense table and slowly circled them around the candle. Soon, green smoke floated out.
"Great City God, you haven't forgotten our original agreement, have you?"
The incense in King Wu's hand was already lit, but he did not put it into the incense burner. Instead, he held it in his hand and stared at the City God.
The Great City God bowed and said, "Although this matter is not my fault, it is still suspected that the ghosts and gods under my command have neglected their duties. I beg for your forgiveness, Your Highness."
The King of Wu placed the incense in the incense burner, reached out and lifted up the Great City God, saying, "Without the Great City God's help, how could I have taken Jiangnan by force? I beg the Great City God to help me for the sake of my poor child."
The City God was helped up by him and said, "Even if Your Highness doesn't tell me, I'm already investigating. I believe there will be news soon."
The King of Wu said gratefully, "Thank you very much, Great City God. Please, Great City God, bring my son's soul back to me."
The City God summoned his judges in front of the King of Wu and ordered them to personally supervise the investigation and give the results as soon as possible.
The King of Wu was relieved and left the City God Temple.
The Great City God escorted King Wu outside the City God Temple. Seeing him walk away, the Great City God said with a grim expression, "I am so angry."
"Back then, you begged me for help at the City God Temple, and now that you're in power, you're actually shouting at me? It really is fate, you've truly transformed into a true dragon!"
Several judges lowered their heads, fearing that the City God would take his anger out on them.
The Great City God vented his anger for a while, smashing a few vases, and finally calmed down. He asked, "How is the investigation going?"
Naturally, nothing was gained.
The Great City God became impatient and smashed another vase, saying, "Can his soul still fly away?"
If it hadn't flown away, it wouldn't be nowhere to be found now.
At this moment, a little ghost came in and said, "Great City God, the Immortal Jinting from Shangfang Mountain wishes to see you."
"You've come just in time! I was just looking for trouble with them!" The City God angrily walked to the City God Temple, and sure enough, he saw a white-haired fox with a cold face standing in the yard, looking at something.
The Great City God waved his hand, and the world spun. He invited the Great Immortal Jin Ting into his sanctuary and demanded, "Great Immortal Jin Ting, it was you who wanted to attack the Crown Prince, but you lost his soul, and now you've caused this situation. Tell me, what should we do?"
The Immortal Jin Ting said, "The best plan now is to find a way to retrieve the prince's soul."
