Needless to say, that must be one of the Ninth Prince's men!
When Meng Qi thought of the Ninth Prince Shang Xiye, he remembered the losses he had suffered at Shang Xiye's hands time and time again, and he immediately became furious.
He shouted sternly, "Seize him! Don't let any of those who came today escape! Capture the Ninth Prince, and His Majesty will reward you handsomely!"
With that, Meng Qi strode over and personally took command.
If it weren't for his mission today to guard the Demon Queen and prevent the Ninth Prince from abducting her, he would have gone after her himself long ago!
Shang Xiye also heard the commotion outside and quickly sent a telepathic message to Wushang outside, asking, "What happened?"
"The little eunuch who has been following you, Your Highness, seems to have become suspicious of you. He was just about to test you when I had Hu Ji reveal his identity to divert their attention. Now that little eunuch has personally gone to direct the arrest. Your Highness, we cannot stay here any longer," Wu Shang also relayed the whole story to Shang Xiye via telepathy.
"Give the order: once the Princess is ready, the troop will set off immediately," Shang Xiye said in a deep voice.
"Yes, Your Highness!" Wu Shang replied silently, then turned and gestured to his companion not far away.
"These monsters in Kyoto are extraordinary. Hu Ji might be in danger if he leads the enemy alone. Find a few more people to help him," Shang Xiye said to Wu Shang again while quickly changing his clothes.
"Your Highness need not worry. Hu Ji is a Foundation Establishment cultivator after all, and he also possesses ancestral martial arts skills. He is most adept at tracking and escaping. Unless a powerful demon at the Core Formation stage or above chases after him, he will not be in danger." Wu Shang had great confidence in Hu Ji.
"Better safe than sorry, never be careless." Shang Xiye paused, his voice softening and becoming much gentler: "I brought you out here, and I hope to bring you back safe and sound, without a single one missing."
Since marrying the princess, the prince has become increasingly gentle and warm.
The current prince and them,
They are no longer just superiors and subordinates, no longer just sworn brothers, but more like a family.
Wu Shang felt a warm glow in his heart and was silently moved for a while before solemnly saying, "Your Highness, I understand! Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will send more people to meet Hu Ji and will ensure that nothing happens to him!"
"Hmm," Shang Xiye responded softly from inside the room, followed by a rustling sound as he quickly straightened his robes.
Ji Fengyao didn't dawdle either.
She knew that the longer Shang Xiye stayed with those demons, the greater the risk of being exposed.
So even though she was playing around with Bai Lu, she didn't waste any time at all.
They both quickly finished bathing and changing.
Before Meng Qi's men could be captured, Shang Xiye had already reunited with the little female bandit and ordered the team to set off.
Upon hearing the bugle call to depart, Meng Qi was completely bewildered: "I'm still here, who gave the order to set off?!"
Xiao Shunzi, carrying a whisk, came running over to Shang Xiye, panting as he said, "Xiao Mengzi, the Emperor sent me to let you know we should set off. If we don't leave soon, we'll miss the auspicious time for the ancestral worship and coronation."
Looking at the adoration in Xiao Shunzi's eyes.
Meng Qi: "..."
I feel really uneasy.
Although it was that good-for-nothing son who specially sent someone to give him a greeting.
But why did he feel so aggrieved, like he'd been tricked?
And the team has already set off.
If he were to stop or oppose it because of a moment of frustration, and it were to truly miss the auspicious time for the Demon Queen's coronation, His Majesty would certainly not forgive him!
