Chapter 1080: Chapter 71: Shocking! Liu Ruolan Faces Deadly Crisis (Seeking Monthly Votes)_4 Chapter 1080: Chapter 71: Shocking! Liu Ruolan Faces Deadly Crisis (Seeking Monthly Votes)_4 “This…” Zhao Zhikun’s face also showed so indecisiveness, “Our Zhao Clan has already placed all our bets on Kang Commandery Prince, and now all we can do is hope that he wins. Besides, if I don’t rely on Kang Commandery Prince, who else can I turn to, An Commandery Prince?”
“We can leave, we can go back to the Jiang’s together.” Jiang’s looked at Zhao Zhikun, the frost in her eyes lting away in an instant, filled with hope as she said, “As long as we can get back to the Jiang’s, we’ll definitely find a way to remove your God Locking Shackles.”
“Leave? What about the children?” Zhao Zhikun hastily shook his head, “And what about the Zhao Clan?”
He and Jiang’s had long had children; they even had great-grandchildren, and the number of their children added together was not small.
“The children are already grown up, and after all, they bear the Zhao surna and have the Zhao Clan’s protection. Even if they suffer so grievances for a short ti, once we are established in the Immortal Dynasty, we can pressure Kang Commandery Prince to send them to the Immortal Dynasty to reunite with us. As for the Zhao Clan, why worry about a Prominent Family that has lasted for ten thousand years? If Kang Commandery Prince ascends, he still needs to rely on the Zhao Clan, and if An Commandery Prince ascends, the Zhao Clan will at worst beco the next Wang family.”
“Moreover, I’ve heard that An Commandery Prince has a generous nature. As long as the Zhao Clan doesn’t do anything foolish, they won’t cut off their own lifeline.” Jiang’s began to analyze a series of points as soon as she spoke, showing that she had been thinking about these matters quite a lot recently.
Regardless, she was a direct daughter from a First Grade family of the Immortal Dynasty. Even if she hadn’t delved too deeply into the matters of the Zhao Clan, she naturally had a basic level of strategic insight, which allowed her to focus on the crucial points.
She gripped Zhao Zhikun’s hand tightly, with a pleading look on her face: “My lord, you must not go to the Cannon Fodder Camp at any cost. It’s impossible to know how many hidden hands are waiting for you there.”
Cannon Fodder Camp!
Zhao Zhikun, who had once made military exploits on the battlefield outside the domain, of course understood the brutality and horror of the Cannon Fodder Camp. It was a place with absolutely no human rights.
Zhao Zhikun felt a shiver in his heart, and upon eting Jiang’s concerned and pleading eyes, he was eventually swayed, “Yuansiang, even if I am inclined to go to the Immortal Dynasty to lay low, given the current situation, how could we possibly escape? Even if we could get out of Return to Dragon City, we wouldn’t get far before being caught.”
“As long as my lord is willing to cooperate, I still think I can find a way.” Jiang’s said, “More than twenty years ago, when I was shopping, I t an interesting young friend from a smaller Prominent Family at a ready-to-wear clothing store. We got along quite well. Her appearance was plain, but she was extrely skilled at makeup, able to create a convincing disguise. Furthermore, I still have so people and trump cards that I brought from my mother’s family.”
“How will we escape?” Zhao Zhikun’s interest was piqued.
“My lord must have heard of Yao’s Air Transport,” said Jiang’s, “Our Jiang’s and the Yao family are both First Grade families of the Immortal Dynasty and we also have marriage ties through our bloodlines. The flying boats of Yao’s Air Transport are no simple matter.”
“If Yuansiang is confident, I will listen to you this ti.” After weighing the pros and cons, Zhao Zhikun finally made up his mind.
…
Ti flashed by.
Another five or six days passed. Without ntioning the surging undercurrents in private, there were now only three days left until the next Grand Assembly.
At this mont.
In Changning Guard, a place quite far from Return to Dragon City.
A flying carriage pulled by two Peak Level Six Dragon Hawks was shuttling through the cloud layer above Changning Guard at the fastest speed, quickly approaching the direction of Ping’an Town.
The night was hazy, and the moonlight was enticing.
At this mont, there were only three people in the flying carriage: one was a dignified-looking elder; the other two were gaunt middle-aged n with an air of wretchedness that was hard to describe.
Both had triangular eyes and aquiline noses, and, upon close examination, they bore a six or seven points similarity to each other.
They were one of the odd talents nurtured by Kang Commandery Prince— the Wu brothers!
They were criminals wanted in the Immortal Dynasty for committing nurous grievous ho invasions, both at the Early Stage of the Purple Abode Realm. They fled to Da Qian because they were unable to get by in the Immortal Dynasty due to being hunted down. Valued by Kang Commandery Prince for their expertise in stealth and so rare spatial techniques, they were recruited under his command.
Ahead, Zhuwei Lake, shimring with ripples under the moonlight, appearing like scattered silver, presented a breathtakingly beautiful scenery.
Gazing down at Zhuwei Lake from high above, the Wu brothers almost simultaneously let out a string of ghastly laughter, “His Highness has sheltered us brothers for many years, and this is our first assignnt— just this?”
“Elder Xin, His Highness actually has us kidnap a re woman with Heavenly Person Cultivation Stage from the countryside… Isn’t that underestimating us brothers a bit too much?”
Seeing their attitude, the dignified-looking elder frowned slightly, seemingly disapproving, yet he said nothing and only reminded them, “This matter is of great importance, do not take it lightly. His Highness has instructed that, first, use your Small Divine Power Talent to infiltrate without alerting others as much as possible. Second, if circumstances allow, kidnap several core mbers of the Wang family’s Direct Line.”
The dignified-looking elder was naturally the “Elder Xin” referred to by the Wu brothers.
“Didn’t you say we were kidnapping only one person before?” the Wu brothers asked in confusion.
“His Highness is afraid that Wang Shouzhe is loyal on the surface but might have wanted to change his wife in private… If we take this opportunity…”
“Hee hee hee, we understand. We’ll first evaluate how pretty that young lady is.”
With that, the Wu brothers exchanged a glance and, as if by agreent, they let out a string of sleazy laughter.
With the laugh, they flitted from the flying carriage, moving in unison like two black birds, silently gliding down through the clouds.
Soon, their figures rged into the darkness of the night like two streaks of black ink, gradually disappearing from view.
