Because they were hungry and thirsty along the way, after walking for several days, they finally saw a village nearby.
Just as they entered the village, they suddenly saw a familiar figure, but it was as if it were an illusion, and the figure suddenly disappeared.
They tried to look in that direction, but after looking for a long time, they still didn't see the figure reappear.
“Xia Sen, I think we need to find Gu Ze and the others as soon as possible.” She took a deep breath and said, “This place is getting more and more chaotic. We need to find them quickly. If they can help us, we can all work together to find a way to quell this situation.”
Xia Sen was silent for a moment, then nodded, his eyes filled with the same determination as when he looked at Xu Yuehuai.
“You’re right, sister. Let’s hurry on our way. We must find the prince and the others as soon as possible.”
So they quickened their pace.
However, at that moment, a group of people suddenly rushed out from the shadows and tied Xu Yuehuai and Xia Sen up tightly.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Xu Yuehuai shouted angrily.
But the person opposite them sneered and came to their side.
"Heh, who we are is not important," the leader said cruelly as he approached Xu Yuehuai. "The most important thing is that you have offended the wrong people."
Xu Yuehuai wondered why these people wanted to arrest her, since she didn't seem to have offended anyone.
"I haven't offended anyone I shouldn't have, you haven't mistaken me for someone else, have you?"
"I'm just a respectable woman, how could I possibly have offended anyone?"
The man glared at Xu Yuehuai, then ordered his men to take the two away.
"Arrest those two right now!"
"Bring it here quickly!"
Xia Sen struggled to say to them, "You can say whatever you want, but please let my sister go."
"My sister is innocent! Don't lay a hand on her!"
But those people completely ignored what he said and instead said to him, "Don't waste your energy here, there's no way you can escape."
"It would be better to surrender quickly! That way, we can avoid suffering!"
"Stop struggling, or we'll get rough with you."
Those people then led Xu Yuehuai and Xia Sen forward, and after walking for a long time, they were taken to a dilapidated place.
That place was extremely desolate, with no other ordinary people around.
All the furnishings looked strange, and around them were some bandits or similar people who looked particularly angry.
"You all go inside first and stay here properly."
"Just don't cause any trouble."
"Our boss will be looking for you later."
Xu Yuehuai and Xia Sen never expected to encounter so many dangers along the way. They originally planned to escape from here as soon as possible and go to Wuling Kingdom, but they were constantly being stopped along the way.
She even wondered if someone had been watching them and telling others about their whereabouts.
Otherwise, why would they have encountered so many dangers along the way?
"Sister, can't you feel it too? Maybe we've been being watched all along the way."
"Could it be that Miss Wu sent someone to keep an eye on us?"
Upon hearing this, Xu Yuehuai shook her head and said to him, "Miss Wu is definitely not that kind of person."
"It certainly wasn't Miss Wu who betrayed us."
Xia Sen asked, "Then why have we encountered so many dangers along the way?"
"And who is it that knows our whereabouts, has been betraying us, and wants to harm us?"
Whenever Xia Sen thought about the dangers they had encountered along the way, he couldn't wait to find the person who had betrayed them.
But they had no leads whatsoever, nor could they find out who had betrayed them.
For now, they can only stay here as long as possible to avoid being dealt with by those people later.
Xu Yuehuai and Xia Sen were taken to a small room and locked up.
After staying there for a while, they found the surroundings unusually quiet, and it seemed that no one was paying attention to them.
Xia Sen couldn't stand it any longer and suddenly spoke to Xu Yuehuai.
"What exactly happened?" Xia Sen asked painfully, feeling extremely distressed.
The cell they are currently in is very basic.
There are many insects crawling around here. I wonder how many people have died here?
They were always on edge, feeling that those people were going to harm them later.
“I don’t know. They captured us and brought us here. I don’t know what they want to do to us, but we can’t give up. We have to find a way to escape,” Xu Yuehuai said through gritted teeth.
They had no way to fight back, so they could only stay there for the time being and try to escape later.
Xu Yuehuai has recovered and wants to find Qi Guze so that they can work together to quell this chaotic land.
Suddenly, a man who looked like a lowly henchman interrupted their conversation.
"Excuse me, my lord requests your presence," he said respectfully to Xu Yuehuai and Xia Sen.
Xu Yuehuai and Xia Sen exchanged a glance, both worried about what was about to happen, their eyes filled with doubt.
"Please come with me." The person's voice was particularly cold.
They had no way to refuse now and could only follow that person.
Then they followed him closely, with others guarding them.
The henchmen guided them toward where the king was.
Where are you taking us?
"Who exactly arrested us?"
"Who is your king?"
Xu Yuehuai asked the person a question, but the person did not reply at all.
They could only follow behind him, continuing to walk in that direction.
After walking for a long time, they finally arrived at a place.
Suddenly, they were taken to an extremely luxurious room.
There was a particularly unpleasant smell in that room, and Xu Yuehuai quickly covered her mouth and nose.
Then she heard a loud shout, which almost startled her.
Looking ahead, I vaguely saw someone.
Then they continued walking forward, and right in front of them sat a majestic man in the center of the room.
"Are you the woman who contracted the plague and her guards?"
The burly man stepped forward, looked at them coldly, and directly asked about their identities.
Yes, that's us.
Xu Yuehua nodded, making no attempt to conceal her identity, and confirmed it.
"Do you know who we are? Why are you arresting us?"
