Chapter 172 Misfortunes do not come alone(1/3)
The wolf boss just asked lightly: "What was the result?"
Xiao Xiaoqi sighed, "He doesn't want to let the Dream Void Beast go."
The wolf boss was not surprised at all, "It was expected."
"Then what are you going to do next?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked.
The wolf boss curled his lips, "What else can we do? Exchange hostages."
Speaking of this, Xiao Xiaoqi suddenly remembered, "By the way, where are the Ninth Princess and Qiniang?"
"Send her off," the wolf boss breathed out, "Qiniang has already taken the girl out of the city and plans to hand it over to Xiao Mu."
"You won't hurt her."
Boss Wolf was a little unsure, "Of course Xiao Mu doesn't know how to do it, but other people in Demon Spirit Village might not."
Xiao Xiaoqi frowned, "This is wrong."
The wolf boss sneered a few times, "Isn't it right? Whether it's right or wrong is meaningless now. The result is the most important."
"No, I have to stop them." Xiao Xiaoqi turned around hurriedly.
The wolf boss didn't stop him, and looked at the direction Xiao Xiaoqi left and fell into deep thought.
Of course, Xiao Xiaoqi did not go out of the city directly. He first transformed into Xiao Qi's appearance and planned to go back to the Lingshu Pavilion to talk to Hu Xiaoqing and the others.
Along the way, Xiao Xiaoqi discovered that Zhengtian City was now on alert, as if something big had happened.
Xiao Xiaoqi had an ominous premonition in his heart and couldn't help but walk a little faster.
When Xiao Xiaoqi returned, he found that the Lingshu Pavilion was quiet on the surface, but secretly there were many Zhengtian guards watching.
When they returned to Xiaojiayuan, Hu Xiaoqing came up to them immediately and said, "Xiaoqi, you are finally back."
Ji Ran, Sheng Meifang and A Hong were also there, and everyone looked a little solemn.
"What happened?" Xiao Xiaoqi asked.
"A lot has happened..." Ah Hong said hurriedly, but she didn't know where to start.
"Let me tell you," Hu Xiaoqing said, "First of all, the ninth princess is missing!"
"Oh, the ninth princess is missing." Xiao Xiaoqi was very calm.
Sheng Meifang asked curiously: "You don't seem surprised at all?"
Xiao Xiaoqi paused, "I..."
Ji Ran said at this time, "It's not surprising. Maybe Xiao Qi has heard about it outside. After all, this matter has been widely spread."
Now that someone explained it, Xiao Xiaoqi nodded in agreement.
Hu Xiaoqing then continued: "Also, the palace treasury was stolen last night. Now the Zhengtian Guard is investigating and arresting people. It's best not to run around."
"Oh, the treasury was stolen..." Xiao Xiaoqi was still very calm.
Sheng Meifang was surprised again, "Why are you still so calm?"
"I've heard about it." Xiao Xiaoqi didn't lie about this. It was indeed Gu Xinyuan who told him.
"Then you should also know about the second prince, right?" Hu Xiaoqing said.
Ming Xiaoling? Xiao Xiaoqi doesn't know this, "What happened to the second prince?"
Ji Ran explained: "The second prince was ordered to go to the Huanggang Mountains to suppress the beast disaster, but news came this morning that the entire escort team was wiped out, and the second prince is missing and his whereabouts are unknown!"
Ming Xiaoling is missing?
"Not only that," Sheng Meifang added, "Lin Ruoyin from Taiqing Valley was thrown at the south gate of Zhengtian City in the morning and was found seriously injured and dying!"
"Lin Ruoyin?"
"He is the tenth on the Shenglong Ranking. He has extraordinary strength, but he was still beaten to death."
Xiao Xiaoqi frowned, Zhengtian City would be in trouble!
"Zhengtian City has not been peaceful recently," A Hong said with emotion, "Someone wants to take action against Zhengtian City? The second prince and Lin Ruoyin are just showing off their power!"
"By the way, there's one more thing," Ji Ran said, "Xiao Qi, your Top 100 Division is going to be famous."
"What's going on?" Xiao Xiaoqi was confused.
"Internal insiders revealed that Rong Lengyue, who is fifth on the Shenglong List, and Dongfang Changgong, who is fourth on the Shenglong List, are preparing to challenge the top 100 division!"
Xiao Xiaoqi opened his mouth and said, "It's true that misfortunes never come singly."
A Hong said at this time: "In short, these are extraordinary times. If you can stay in the room, don't go out and run around, so as not to get into any trouble. Now Xiao Qi is back, everyone should go back and prepare for the list of spiritual skills.
Just the finals will be enough.”
So everyone dispersed and prepared to go back to their rooms.
However, at this moment, noisy footsteps suddenly came from outside, as if someone was surrounding the place.
"What's going on?" Ah Hong looked worried.
After a while, a team of Zhengtian Guards walked in from the door, and the leader seemed to be Dongfang Changgong!
Seeing Dongfang Changgong, Xiao Xiaoqi had an ominous premonition again.
"You...what are you doing?" A Hong asked with some trepidation.
Dongfang Changgong stared at Xiao Xiaoqi, "We meet again."
Xiao Xiaoqi smiled bitterly, "You came at the wrong time."
The corners of Dongfang Changgong's lips raised slightly, "Yes, I originally planned to meet you at Shenglong Altar, but the plan failed to keep up with the change, and you happened to steal the treasury again."
Except for Xiao Xiaoqi, everyone else was surprised that it was Xiao Qi who stole the treasury!
Ahong asked Xiao Xiaoqi with wide eyes: "Xiao Qi, you... the treasury... did you steal it?"
Xiao Xiaoqi shook his head, "If I said no, would you believe it?"
"I..." Ah Hong had hesitation on her face, unable to make a conclusion for the moment.
Hu Xiaoqing stood next to Xiao Xiaoqi at this time, "I believe it."
Xiao Xiaoqi glanced at Hu Xiaoqing gratefully, but it was useless if only Hu Xiaoqing believed it, mainly because Dongfang Changgong didn't believe it.
"As far as I know, the thief last night took advantage of the loopholes in the spiritual manifestation array," Dongfang Changgong said. "You are the only one I know who can do this!"
Xiao Xiaoqi also roughly guessed who did it, it must be No. 2, but it would be useless even if No. 2 was exposed, Dongfang Changgong obviously would not believe it.
Dongfang Changgong then said: "Sorry, according to the law, Wei Tianchu needs to arrest you!"
"How dare you!" Hu Xiaoqing took out the Qingyuan Xiao and stood in front of Xiao Xiaoqi.
Seeing Qingyuan Xiao, a flash of enlightenment flashed in Dongfang Changgong's eyes, but he didn't say anything.
Xiao Xiaoqi patted Hu Xiaoqing's shoulder to signal her not to be impulsive.
Then he looked at Dongfang Changgong and said, "First of all, it's not me who stole the treasury. Then I have urgent matters to deal with. Can you give me some time and I can prove it to you later? Is that okay?"
Dongfang Changgong pursed his lips.
He smiled, but shook his head, "You can resist, and I hope you resist. You are worthy of being my opponent!"
Xiao Xiaoqi frowned, it seemed that it would not be so easy to escape.
Dongfang Changgong said again: "Don't even think about escaping. If you can escape, a monk cannot escape from the temple. Once you leave, the entire spiritual master sect will be implicated!"
Ji Ran retorted at this time: "You keep saying that Xiao Qi stole the treasury, but do you have any evidence?"
Dongfang Changgong only glanced at Ji Ran and said, "There will be evidence."
"You are going too far!" Sheng Meifang shouted, "How can you do this?"
Dongfang Changgong disagreed, "With all due respect, Wei Tianchu will have no problem arresting all of your spiritual masters. We have such a right!"
Everyone immediately gnashed their teeth, feeling like they were meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.
At this time, a voice suddenly came from the roof, "The commander-in-chief is speaking so loudly!"
Everyone looked up and saw a noble woman wearing a veil standing there.
Ah Hong suddenly became excited, "It's the leader!"
Dongfang Changgong naturally recognized that person, the head of the Spiritual Master Sect, and Gu Xinyao, who was also the eighth on the Shenglong List!
"The commander-in-chief arrested someone at my spiritual master's door, why didn't he tell me?" Gu Xinyao asked.
The smile on Dongfang Changgong's face did not diminish, "So the leader has been with His Highness the Crown Prince for a period of time, so he should know that Wei Tianchu has the greatest law enforcement power!"
Dongfang Changgong's words directly revealed Gu Xinyao's confidence that he was the prince. At the same time, he also told Gu Xinyao that he was not afraid of the prince.
Gu Xinyao frowned, "The spiritual master sect was founded by the prince. Are you really not afraid of His Highness the prince's blame?"
"Afraid, of course." Dongfang Changgong smiled, "Then you should invite the prince here first. I will definitely catch this person today!"
There was a trace of anger between Gu Xinyao's brows, "Just try, do you think I don't exist?"
Dongfang Changgong showed no fear at all, "If you interfere with Wei Tian's official duties, I will pull them all back for you!"
