"Sir, I don't know either. His Majesty has been staying inside and has not come out. I have already informed him, but he has not responded!" The person who informed him said hurriedly.
"What is he doing? Open the door quickly, I want to go in and take a look!" said the man. He thought that the servant in front of him did not dare to open the door.
"My lord, you don't know that once this door is closed, it can only be opened from the inside. His Majesty is unwilling to open it now, and we have no way to stop him!!"
In fact, what worried the reporter was that the king was unwilling to open the door and even refused to respond.
"King Gao Fei, what's the matter? We have important things to do now, and others are waiting outside!!" If he couldn't open the door, he could only shout loudly.
"My lord, it's useless to shout. This room is soundproof. If something happens, the people inside can only be informed by ringing the bell. And His Majesty has cut off communication. He doesn't want to talk to us!" The servant began to explain again.
"..." The adult frowned, "It's already this late, what is he doing hiding in there? Do you know?"
"This..." The servant hesitated, as if there was something inconvenient to say.
"What's the matter? Tell me quickly. We don't have time to waste here!" the adult said in a deep voice, scolding majestically.
I'm sorry for that abnormal Mr. Ye, but am I not sorry for a servant like you?
"This..." The servant was still hesitating, as if it was difficult to say this.
"Hurry up and tell me!" the adult shouted.
"I really don't know how to put this. It's like this. Two days ago, when His Majesty went out, he brought someone with him, and they have been staying inside ever since. He warned us that no matter how big the matter was, we should not disturb them. But they never came out, not even for dinner!" The servant began to narrate.
"They have been in there all the time? Aren't you afraid of something happening, or that the man has escaped?" the adult asked.
"No, there's only one exit, and His Majesty has secured it from within. No one will have a chance to succeed," the servant explained. "This isn't the first time His Majesty has done this. He's even stayed out for seven days and seven nights before."
Oh, it turns out this isn't the first time. No wonder they are so at ease. If it weren't for the most urgent matter, they probably wouldn't care what the king is doing.
But what on earth was the king doing in there?
"What is your king doing in there? This is not the first time, which means you should know what you are doing!" the adult frowned.
Before this, the servant still did not mention the key thing, which is what on earth the king and that person were doing in there that could make the king neglect his important work and even ignore the future of the country!
“Well…” the servant mumbled, “The king…they’re making a bet!!”
"Oh, betting...what?! He is betting? He just wants to bet and doesn't care about his business?" The adult shouted in fear, but he soon calmed down.
It was just because, among the thirteen allied countries, everyone seemed to have heard that King Gao Fei of Dufang was a gambler, and a very crazy gambler, but his gambling skills were also very good, so not many people dared to gamble with him.
However, although I knew that he was a gambler, I never thought that he would lose sight of the rise and fall of the country for the sake of gambling. At this critical moment, he even wanted to make a bet with others behind closed doors.
"Yes! So, we don't have any plan now. We only guess that His Majesty is addicted to gambling. Once he is addicted, we don't know when he will be able to come out. Maybe soon, or maybe a few days later!" The servant said helplessly.
The man was silent for a moment, then asked, "Is there any other way to open this door, even if it is damaged?"
"Of course it is possible, but it will take a few days. This room is specially reinforced and has the defense of an alchemy array. Even if we ask an alchemist to open it, it will take several days to find the trick to destroy it!" said the servant.
"A few days later, but now I can't even wait an hour!" The man frowned. "Do you know who the person who made the bet with your king is?"
"We don't know about this either. We only know that it was a young man, a very strange young man, whom Your Majesty met on the street. Later, Your Majesty invited him here to make a bet. We don't know the specific circumstances." The servant shook his head and said, and when he said the word "please", his tone was particularly heavy.
It was obvious that this strange boy was not invited here willingly!
"What should I do now..." the adult said in distress, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and went out!
He had decided to blame the failure of this matter entirely on King Gao Fei. At least this would allow them to shirk the responsibility for failing to complete the mission.
Now I don’t ask for merit, but I ask for no mistakes!!
"Marshal Ye, I'm so sorry. King Gao Fei can't come out for the time being. I can only say I'm sorry!" the adult said apologetically.
"It's okay, then we'll say goodbye first!" Ye Chengtian bowed and said goodbye. At this time, why should he stay here instead of leaving? They were all well-known people, and they didn't have anything to ask for.
"Goodbye!" Brother Seven and the others said together and prepared to leave.
But at this moment, something happened that made them stop in their tracks...
"Let him go, or I'll let you know what it feels like to be frozen!" Ye Lanyu's voice reached everyone's ears, causing them to look nervously in the direction where Ye Lanyu's voice came from, and they began to form a formation for defense.
Because, since Ye Lanyu asked people to release the prisoners, it meant that someone among them had been arrested, which meant that they had fallen into a trap.
The people from the Thirteen Allied Nations might be very bold and want to bring bad luck to them!
However, Ye Chengtian and others soon discovered that the representatives of the thirteen allied countries with them were all very surprised by this matter and seemed to be completely unaware of it.
Are they hiding the truth even from their own people, or is this none of their business?
The answer to this mystery was soon revealed...
Everyone saw a woman wearing leather armor holding Zhen Xiaoyan hostage and retreating towards them, while Ye Lanyu and the Seventh Princess followed closely behind her, and behind them were Ye Yi and others.
"Warrior?" Looking at the woman's leather armor, which was the kind commonly worn by warriors, it provided a certain degree of protection without affecting any movements of the body.
Most of them are worn by mercenaries and generals of ordinary families, because in addition to the above characteristics, this kind of leather armor has another crucial advantage, that is, it is cheap and cost-effective!
