Adorable Consort Escapes - C329
He took the opportunity to kneel on the ground, and with his hands folded in front of his head, he knelt down while facing Baili Lan’s body that was radiating anger. His forehead fiercely knocked onto the floor of the Supreme Peace Hall, and he said with a trembling voice: “Your majesty, please calm your anger, this humble subject did not manage to stop the princess of the Great Chu Kingdom, and even let the prisoner escape. This is humble subject’s dereliction of duty, but please protect the dragon body, please do not be angry!”
Useless thing!” If you can’t even look at a single person, what’s the point of having you! What are you, the Supervisor of the Nation, doing all day in the mansion of the Supervisor Temple? I give you a salary of a thousand taels of silver a year. It was fine that Chu Yunge had run away, but she was cunning and cunning. She was indeed a difficult opponent to deal with, but even Baili Cang had run away! With both of Baili Cang’s feet crippled, he’s just a cripple. You guys can’t even hold a cripple, and actually ran away!
Baili Lan’s clearly outlined face became even more stiff at this moment, the lines on his face tightened, a pair of tiger eyes burned with flames of fury, jumping about in front of his eyes, his eyes looked as though they could spew fire at any time!
“Your majesty, it was this humble subject’s fault. This humble subject is willing to accept punishment! Please calm your anger, Your Majesty! ” The State Supervisor Temple disciple kneeling on the ground didn’t even dare to raise his head, as he kneeled on the ground and repeated these words with a trembling voice.
“Lift your head up for me, I still have something to ask you!” When Baili Lan saw the official kneeling at his feet, his anger soared to the heavens, but his mind was still clear. He angrily raised his leg and kicked the official’s head, suppressing his anger as he asked, “I ask you, when did Baili Cang discovered that he was gone? He was a cripple. He had been locked up in Sherita for ten years without coming out. But how did he escape last night? “If you speak clearly for me, I will spare your life!”
“Thank you, your majesty the Emperor.” The State Supervisor Temple’s Shaoqing hurriedly knocked his head against the head.
Then, he looked up in fear, his eyes meeting Baili Lan’s gaze that seemed like it could kill at any moment, and bravely said, “When it was late in the morning, this humble one had a guard from the saritas reporting that Chu Yunge and Baili Cang had disappeared. At the same time, he took out a transfer order and deployed the army on duty there. He had a thousand soldiers surround the entire Bright Moon City and inspect all the commoners who came and went out of the city! As for this humble subject, I, on the other hand, have personally gone up to the sariras, checked the cell that held Princess Great Chu Kingdom, and did not find anything abnormal. The iron lock on the cell door is still there, and there are no traces of external force hitting it.
“Then what about Baili Cang! “What’s the situation!?” Baili Lan’s face had already become terrifyingly gloomy.
“Reporting to the emperor, this humble subject has also personally gone to check the cell that was used to imprison Baili Cang, and discovered that… The situation of Baili Cang’s cell was the same as that of Chu Yunge’s cell. The lock was completely hung at the entrance of the cell without any traces of external force. How did they manage to avoid the guards on every floor? Around midnight, when the guards on the third floor were changing shifts and relaxing, they sneaked up to the third floor! ”
“Then how did they get down? Could it be that the shift will be changed for another two hours? ”
“This humble subject has carefully inspected every level of the sariras and also asked the guard responsible for guarding them that night. I can finally determine one conclusion …” When he finished speaking, he carefully raised his eyes and looked at Baili Lan’s handsome face that was as cold as ice and continued to speak uneasily, “They … When he went down the tower, he didn’t go up the stairs, but directly jumped down from the highest floor. In the lobby of the seventh floor, three pieces of Frost Iron were broken by the palm strike of an expert. This humble subject inferred that they must have gone from the Heaven’s Window to the world through lightness techniques after opening the Heaven’s Window. If an ordinary person were to jump down from the skylight, the seventh floor of the Sherry Tower would be at least a hundred feet high. “So …”
“This humble subject believes that there was more than one thief who came to rob this prison last night. If there was only one person, no matter how good his Qing Gong was, it would be impossible for him to simultaneously carry two people down from the top of the tower … There must be a helper! ”
“Nonsense!” “You don’t need me to say that, I’ve thought of it too!” Baili Lan’s face was filled with anger. He stood up with his hands behind his back, and cursed at State Supervisor Temple who was kneeling on the ground, “You pig’s brains, we really shouldn’t use you so heavily. Every year, more than a hundred thousand pieces of silver will be allocated for State Supervisor Temple, but not a single silly girl! ”
“This humble subject deserves to die! This humble subject has committed the crime of dereliction of duty. I hope that the emperor can be merciful and give this humble subject a chance to atone for his deeds! This humble subject will personally send people to capture all those who escaped from the saritas! I hope that the Emperor will calm his anger! ” The State Supervisor Temple’s Shaoqing once again kowtowed to the ground, and heavily knocked his forehead a few times against the granite tile, making loud and clear sounds.
“Hmph, that Chu Yunge has gone against us time and time again, and has even spoiled our plans! This time, you have acted wildly in our Great Liang city and stole our one million silver army’s salary, and now, you have run to the Moon Moon City to cause trouble, actually taking Baili Cang with you. You are truly bold, and did not place us in your eyes at all! ”
Baili Lan stood at the entrance of the Warm Pavilion, his eyes staring at the kneeling State Supervisor Temple Shaoqing, but his gaze had already skipped past the body of the State Supervisor Temple Shaoqing, and landed on that elf’s strange, bright smile that resembled a Xia Hua’s!
Chu Yunge!
Baili Lan silently uttered this name in his heart. The anger in his heart did not decrease in the slightest, but when he thought of Chu Yunge’s actions and speech on that day in the Town Hall, the anger in his heart instead grew even more intense!
Back then, when Chu Yunge committed a heavy crime, he only knew that Chu Yunge was born to be someone who liked to cause trouble.
He also knew that it was very likely that Feng Yi was hiding a Feng Yi by his side.
Furthermore, the scouts he sent out to the Feng Lai Kingdom did not manage to find out that the Crown Prince of Phoenix Nation had returned, so he had thought that as long as Chu Yunge was imprisoned in her hands, Feng Yi and the Great Chu Kingdom would definitely be anxious. In order to save Chu Yunge, the two nations would not hesitate to cut off their lands and pay the price, returning Chu Yunge to his homeland.
But they never thought that Chu Yunge would cause a upheaval in Dazhou City, even though it was still not too late, and she actually plotted it into the State Supervisor Temple!
He really did not expect that Chu Yunge would actually think of Baili Cang!
A crippled Crown Prince Baili Cang, who had been imprisoned in the Sherry Tower for ten years, and with his leg tendons being picked, was a complete cripple!
Chu Yunge deliberately entered the State Supervisor Temple, so why did she leave?
Was it to rebel in the name of Baili Cang?
Even if Baili Cang’s limbs were healthy, he had been locked up for ten years. The economy of the Bright Moon Kingdom, the strength of the nation, had been under Baili Cang’s control for the past ten years, and he had been the emperor for the past few years. The citizens lived and worked merrily, and this dragon throne was given to him by the late emperor in front of all the civil and military officials.
His title of emperor was well-established and she had a way to rule the country. Even if Chu Yunge brought Baili Cang along and wanted to borrow Baili Cang’s hand to start a rebellion, it was still impossible for him to do so.
Furthermore, Baili Cang was now a cripple. Since ancient times, a person who became an emperor must have a clear mind and healthy limbs. How could he let a cripple become an emperor? Wouldn’t he be ridiculed by other countries?
Since this move would not work, then for Chu Yunge, what was the point in saving Baili Cang?
Baili Lan’s face was cold as he stood in front of the State Supervisor Temple’s Shaoqing, carefully guessing his intentions.
Suddenly, he thought of something …
Could it be that the reason Chu Yunge saved Baili Cang was because of the legendary treasure deposit in the Murong Dynasty?
Baili Cang was also once the crown prince, and was the person closest to the throne. At that time, the late emperor had already handed over the fragment of Murong Dynasty that he inherited over generations to the crown prince for him to keep.
It was he who had used a trick to pull the crown prince down from his position in the Eastern Palace King’s position, and it was he who had used a tactic to trick Baili Cang into telling him the truth before knowing where the map fragment was hidden.
Right now, the fragment was in his hands and he was even preparing to join forces with Worryfree Hall to collect all of the treasures. They would follow the direction of the map and dig out the mysterious treasure …
Thus, he hid the fragment within the walls of the Supreme Harmony Temple.
Could it be …
Baili Lan was shocked, and suddenly reacted, could it be that Chu Yunge’s real plan this time was to obtain the map fragment in his hand?
They heard that Chu Yunge and Feng Yi had been travelling around the martial arts world and had just recently emerged from the bountiful Kang City. There had been a rumour for a long time that there was a fragment of a treasure map in the hands of the master of Kang City, Gong Yue.
And since Chu Yunge had seized the new Alliance Master Wu Lin, and saved Gong Yue’s youngest son and his little tender wife, wouldn’t that mean … It was very possible that Gong Yue had gifted the map fragment in his hand along with Alliance Master Wu Lin’s throne to Chu Yunge.
Chu Yunge had traveled in the martial arts world for a long time, and she had a good relationship with Feng Yi, so she had around three to four pieces of the map in her hands.
Then…
In exchange for saving Baili Cang, Baili Cang would reveal to Chu Yunge where the map was hidden.
As Baili Lan thought of this, his face turned pale. He inwardly cursed and turned around to return to the Warm Pavilion, completely ignoring the trembling Junior Elder of the State Supervisor Temple who was still kneeling at the entrance of the Warm Pavilion.
By the time he walked into the room, the beauty had already dressed herself and came over. She was just about to try and coax Baili Lan with a smile on her face, but was shocked by his fearsome expression and stood there, unmoving.
Baili Lan moved quickly, his footsteps creating wind as he arrived at a bookshelf beside the desk. He turned on the mechanism in the bookshelf and a wall suddenly started to slowly slide past.
A brand-new wall with a closet on it appeared in front of the beauty, causing her to stare at it. It was as if she did not expect that there would be a special world here, a hidden mechanism!
After Baili Lan opened up the wall, he quickly took out a brocade box from the closet. There was a huge ruby inlaid on top of the gold-plated brocade box, but when he opened it, it was actually empty.
“Damn it!”
When Baili Lan saw that the embroidered box was completely empty, he was stunned for a second. Then, with a furious roar, he smashed the embroidered box mercilessly to the ground.
Then, he quickly walked to the entrance of the Warm Pavilion, bent down, and grabbed Shaoqing by the collar, lifting him off the ground. He lowered his tiger eyes, forcing the Shaoqing to meet his fierce gaze, and angrily passed over: “I will give you three days, you must definitely catch Chu Yunge and Baili Cang! Remember, I want him alive! “Also, my servant at the side of the Minister of Revenue is extraordinary. Please bring her to me as well. I want to see that servant today!”
Baili Lan could tell that this servant called extraordinary, Chu Yunge cared a lot about him, so she might as well capture this servant and be of a personal nature!
