Chapter 678: A Princess in Name Only
"The little princess is missing!!"
Chu Duan stared at the bounty, and he didn't come back to his senses for a long time!
Princess Jinrou is missing, this is a big event, in fact, this bounty has been posted two months ago, and it has already caused a storm in the city.
It's just that Chu Duan always lives a life that is semi-isolated from the world, so he doesn't know about the disappearance of the little princess at all.
The princess disappeared mysteriously, and due to the huge bounty, many tracking masters in the world are looking for her.
However, this beautiful princess seemed to have evaporated from the world, without even the slightest clue.
Some top tracking masters searched for the smell through some items used by the princess, but there was no trace, which made the elders, elders and palace masters of the Demon Palace anxious, afraid that something would happen to the little princess.
After learning that Princess Jinrou was missing, Chu Duan's first reaction was related to the defecting girl.
The defector girl had the intention of controlling Princess Jinrou earlier, and attacked her many times, but she was not really successful, and this time Princess Jinrou suddenly disappeared, Chu Duan felt that it was very likely that the defector girl did it.
Chu Duan and Princess Jinrou also have some friendship, and it is impossible for Chu Duan to ignore it, and at the moment he also found the resting place of the Demon Palace in the Great Chu family.
Chu Duan originally wanted to ask some insiders of the Demon Palace through his identity as a young man, but it happened that Qianqin had already arrived in the ancient city of Wo.
Chu Duan could also guess that Qianqin should also be a woman with a very high status in the Demon Palace, presumably she also knew Princess Jinrou, and she should know more about Princess Jinrou's disappearance.
……
When it was close to dusk, Chu Duan waited in the teahouse.
Qianqin also came as promised, and with her was a man in his thirties, to Chu Duan's surprise, the person who accompanied Qianqin was actually a Soul Emperor-level master.
"The level is high, how come you meet the Soul Emperor everywhere, why haven't I seen these guys appear before......" Chu Duan muttered.
However, Chu Duan also knew that the realm he had stepped into was different now, mainly because in the past, a strong man came face to face, and even the Soul Emperor himself couldn't notice it.
When Qianqin walked into the teahouse, he asked the man to wait on the side, and the young Soul Emperor didn't say anything, just took a special look at Chu Duan, then sat aside alone, and asked someone to bring a cup of tea.
"I always take a soul emperor with me when I go out, then I took you to Mangu at that time, it was really difficult for you." Chu Duan also spoke first.
Qianqin shook her head slightly: "I'm not from the emperor's background." It's just that a teacher took a fancy to my talent as a spiritual master and took me as an apprentice. Actually, I don't usually be so cautious......"
At this time, Qianqin stuck out her tongue and whispered: "At the same time that the princess disappeared, I ran to Mangu without a notice, my teacher thought I was also missing, fortunately he found out late, I will come back soon, otherwise I will be rewarded......"
"Uh......" Chu Duan also smiled dryly, speaking of which, Chu Duan didn't care too much at that time, so he abducted a girl to Mangu, thinking about it, it was indeed a little inappropriate.
"Well, you just said the same time? That wasn't five months ago, wasn't the little princess missing about two months ago? Chu Duan suddenly reacted and hurriedly asked.
"It is rumored that it has been two months, but in fact, the princess's guards, servants, and maids have not seen her for five months." Qianqin said to Chu Duan.
The princess has been missing for so long, and the Nightmare Palace has not been aware of it, this is the dereliction of duty of the high-level leaders of the Nightmare Palace, and they dare not claim that the princess has not been seen for five months, so it is confirmed that the princess is missing, and a reward is issued, about two months, but in fact, in the past five months, no one has seen Princess Jinrou.
"It's been so long......" Chu Duan immediately frowned.
If it was five months ago, then it would have been about four or five months since he left Tianxia City, and the power of the defecting girl should have been disintegrated by the Lord of the Yu Hall after Chu Duan killed the defected girl's puppet.
It should be impossible for the defector girl to reorganize her plan in such a short period of time and plunder Princess Jinrou, unless there is someone in the city where the defector is hiding......
In any case, if it had been five months ago, when the Lord of the Uden had suppressed the power established by the puppets, the possibility of the princess being snatched away by the defector girl would have become much lower.
However, ruling out the possibility of defecting girls, where did this little princess go?
"Why didn't you Demon Palace find out after three months that she was a princess, and they wouldn't realize that something was wrong if she hadn't been on any occasion for so long?" Chu Duan asked.
"This ......" Qianqin hesitated for a while, secretly glanced at his senior brother who was drinking tea alone next to him, and said in a low voice,
"Maybe the people of our generation treat Jinrou as the kind of princess with golden branches and jade leaves, a high-ranking princess, a master guard with heavy protection, a master with loyal service, and countless people in the younger generation who seek and love her, but in fact, all this is just an appearance."
"It's all appearances? What does this mean, could it be that she is far less outstanding than people know? Chu Duan raised an eyebrow.
Qianqin's words made Chu Duan very puzzled, Princess Jinrou's reputation is undoubted, she is the focus of attention on any occasion, her mysterious face under the veil, gentle and generous demeanor, can always leave an extremely deep impression on many people, for so many years, her influence in the status of young women has almost no one shaken.
It is this kind of ethereal gorgeous and noble as if standing on the altar, which makes Chu Dui, who has not had a good impression of women with perfect appearance since she was a child, wary of her, and confuses her with a defector girl, of course, Chu Duan is now very clear that they are not the same person.
"Princess Jinrou is the image goddess of our Demon Palace, of course, this is a nice way to put it." At this time, the senior brother Qianqin, who was drinking tea on the side, slowly spoke.
He deliberately glanced at Qianqin, smiled apologetically, and signaled that he didn't eavesdrop on purpose.
However, he walked over by himself, sat next to Qianqin, with a standard smile on his face, and continued, "To put it in layman's terms, she is a relatively beautiful ornament. Just like some churches, the image of a saint will be erected to make more believers feel that the church is pure and noble. In fact, the top management of the church knows that the saint is a vase, and without her, it is easy to replace it with a more beautiful vase. Only those who have been fooled believe that the Holy Maiden is the most sacred ......"
Qianqin's senior brother obviously saw the waist card on Chu Duan's body with the title of the seventh level of the Demon Palace, and seeing that Qianqin didn't stop it, he also continued to explain,
"You are also a member of our Nightmare Palace, and you should also know that there are many dark places in our Nightmare Palace, and your reputation in the past was not very good. This is very detrimental to the development of the Nightmare Demon Palace, so it really needs a person who can win people's hearts to dispel the world's misunderstanding of our Nightmare Palace, and Princess Jinrou is cultivating for this position. ”
Chu Duan's eyes were fixed on the senior brother of Qianqin, although the man was explaining the facts with a narrative attitude, but if he listened carefully, he could feel a trace of disdain for the little princess from his words, and there were some more complicated emotions in his disdain.
"After all, Jinrou is the daughter of the previous generation of Demon Emperors, and Emperor Jiang succeeded to the throne, and her identity as a princess is indeed in name only......" Qianqin actually didn't want to expose the tragedy of Princess Jinrou's identity like this, but since the senior brother had already said it, he had no choice but to show it.
Qianqin and Senior Brother Qianqin's words brought a lot of waves in Chu Duan's heart, he really didn't expect that under the countless dazzling halos of Princess Jinrou, she would be a princess in name only.
"So, after not seeing her for three months, the top management of the Demon Palace actually doesn't care at all......" Chu Duan said slowly.
Qianqin could only nod cautiously, she also knew that Chu Duan had some friendship with Princess Jinrou, otherwise she would not be in the seventh and ninth realms.
"Who posted the bounty?" Chu Duan continued to ask.
"Elder Ye Tao, Elder Ye Tao is the uncle of the little princess, and the only support of the little princess, about her identity, I thought Jinrou had already told you......" Qianqin said.
Chu Duan shook his head, these princesses of Jinrou had indeed not mentioned it to Chu Dui, and for a while, Chu Duan was also quite helpless in his heart, it seemed that he still had a misunderstanding of her before.
Perhaps, the melancholy girl who looks at the water elegantly and quietly is indeed what she is.
"Do you know where she is?" Asaqin asked in a low voice.
Chu Duan shook his head, now he couldn't be sure that this was the defector girl's doing.
"Perhaps, she can't bear this pressure and leaves on her own." Qianqin's senior brother said lightly.
Chu Duan didn't pay attention to the senior brother's sneering at Princess Jinrou, and immediately learned some about Princess Jinrou's disappearance from Qianqin.
It's a pity that it was so early, even Princess Jinrou's personal servant could hardly have any exact information.
……
……
Chu Duan himself has no way to find it, if no one finds Princess Jinrou, then I am afraid that this woman will really evaporate from the world after a while, and when people talk about her, I am afraid they will only regret that they did not see her true face under the veil after all.
The disappearance of the princess, Chu Duan couldn't do anything, after all, there was no clue at all, only when she arrived in Vientiane City, she confirmed from the defector girl whether the princess was in her hands.
If the princess is not in the hands of the defector girl, then this strange disappearance, I'm afraid that there is really no story after this disappearance for more than 5 months......
