Chapter 17: The Pursuit: Finally Begins

Changkong Wuji knew Ye Feng's temperament, and was afraid that Ye Feng would accidentally show his feet in front of Zhao Yi, so he kept Ye Feng under house arrest. Ye Feng has been under house arrest in the Sky Wuji Mansion, and today he was suddenly released, feeling a little unaccustomed, seeing the depressed Sky Wuji, he smiled and said: "The Sky City Lord finally remembered me, is there anything you need me to serve?"

Changkong Wuji woke up from his thoughts, looked at Ye Feng, and said with a smile: "Ye Feng, I'll take you to see your little brother." He's no ordinary person. ”

Ye Feng laughed dryly, this is the chief of the guard walked over quickly, and said, "City Lord, everything is ready." ”

"Let's go. Changkong Wuji took Ye Feng and a few guards out of the City Lord's Mansion, turned on his horse, and headed south.

In the room where Zhao Yi was resting in the City Lord's Mansion, Zhao Yi and a gray-clothed man watched Changkong Wuji and his party gallop away, with a strange look on their faces.

Zhao Yi was still thinking about Lie Zhenbei, and dreamed of the silent man again last night, feeling the sadness in his heart, but asked lightly: "Uncle Shi, did you say that Changkong Wuji can catch Li Yuxuan?"

"Yes. The man in gray replied lightly.

"Uh?......" Although Zhao Yi was absent-minded, he didn't expect it to be this answer.

"This qiē is all arranged, including you, and it is also calculated. When the man in gray said this, he sighed inexplicably.

"Why? Who arranged, who calculated?" Zhao Yi was a little annoyed when she heard this, as a princess, she has always only calculated others, and it is her turn to calculate others.

"You'll know in a few days, Changkong Wuji was originally a smart person, but it's a pity that his mind is with you, not with Li Yuxuan, which is doomed to failure. The man in gray sighed.

"You mean, someone deliberately used me to contain Changkong Wuji so that Li Yuxuan could leave, so why did you say that Changkong Wuji was able to catch Li Yuxuan? Isn't this a contradiction?" Zhao Yi asked curiously.

"You're usually too concerned about that. The gray-clothed man sighed again in a short period of time and said, "It's no wonder you, girl's family, Liezhenbei is indeed a talent." ”

"What the hell is going on, you say!" Zhao Yi took the hand of the man in gray, shook it vigorously, and said coquettishly.

"This is the usual method of the Skull Society, and those who are calculated by him are generally unconscious. Seeing Zhao Yi's disobedient appearance, the man in gray laughed happily and explained: "Changkong Wuji can be the city lord of Marseille, and the Skull and Bones Guild also made a lot of efforts back then. But after Changkong Wuji took the throne, he has always rejected the Skull and Bones Society, and it is no wonder that the Skull and Bones Society will retaliate against Changkong Wuji. If Changkong Wuji is smart enough, he can return to Marseille safely and be his city lord with peace of mind, otherwise, life and death are uncertain. ”

"Skull and Bones Society?" Zhao Yi couldn't help but ask suspiciously when he heard such an ugly name for the first time.

"The rise of the Skull and Bones Society has only been twenty years, and it has spread to all corners of the continent, and your brother may have some information about the Skull and Bones Society, but you have not been in contact with it. The man in gray sighed: "This is an organization that is known as the most evil path in the world, and has the most compassionate heart in the world. ”

"The more I listened, the more confused I became. Zhao Yi shook the arm of the gray-clothed man again and said, "You can make it clear." ”

"If I made it clear, would the Skull and Bones Society still be called the Skull and Bones Society? The man in gray smiled: "I only know that this is an organization determined to end the war and unify the continent. ”

Zhao Yi was silent, and after a while, he suddenly said: "I'm going to follow and take a look, and by the way, look for the slaves who were with Zhenbei in the Colosseum, and find out how Zhenbei's last days were." ”

The sunset shone obliquely, reflecting the entire town of Damus, at this time the most beautiful and peaceful time in the day of Damus, but also the eve of Damus's prosperity. This is an important town in the south of the Franks, just a day's journey from the border, and has always been famous for its business and Fengyue.

Before dawn, Li Yuxuan set off with the team, and the scouts of the Shangdu Corps were aware of it at that time, but when the information was sent to Changkong Wuji, it was already the sun in the sky, and when Changkong Wuji hastily ate dry food on the horse, and hurried to Danms, it was already dusk.

When Changkong Wuji found the scout team, the scout team was waiting outside Dams Town, and when he saw Changkong Wuji coming, the captain quickly turned over and fell off his horse, and said respectfully: "City Lord, the team of slaves has just entered Dams Town, and the first team of the scout team has already followed in. ”

"Well, thank you for your hard work, go back to Marseille and give you another credit, and now keep an eye on the every move of these slaves. Changkong Wuji looked at the neat military team and said loudly: "I will go to the Marquis of Bray now, and the news will be sent to the Marquis's Mansion as soon as possible." ”

"Yes. The captain replied loudly.

At this time, a team rushed out of the town gate, it was the Marquis of Bray who came out with the guards, and Changkong Wuji knew the importance of the Marquis of Bray at this time, so he didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly greeted him.

Marquis Bray hurriedly led the team to turn over and dismount, and quickly greeted him, saying, "The Sky City Lord is coming at sunset, it is really the glory of Dams Town." ”

All the people of the Franks are businessmen, this is the tone of a pure businessman, and it is also normal, but how awkward it sounded at this time, but he didn't dare to show it, and said with a smile: "I also came out to relax, I didn't want to trouble the Marquis of Bray, but the Marquis of Laubre greeted me from afar." ”

"Don't dare, the Sky City Lord has worked hard all the way, and I invite the Sky City Lord to the Marquis' Mansion to rest, okay?" Marquis Bray invited with a smile.

"Well, there's the Marquis de Laubre. "Changkong Wuji is not polite, turned on his horse, and followed the Marquis of Bray into the town.

All the way was polite, and everyone tacitly didn't mention the thousands of slaves, but as soon as they entered the Marquis's Palace, Marquis Bray asked impatiently: "Lord of the Sky City, at dusk, two thousand fierce slaves rushed into the town, and then scattered in the town, in case something happens to them, how is this good?"

Is this a plea for help, or a complaint?It is impossible for the Marquis de Bray not to know about the Marseille slave revolt. Changkong Wuji's face sank like water, and asked: "Have you ever seen a young man in the team, he is not a slave, he is Li Yuxuan, the son of Li Xia, a Carol magnate." ”

"Yes, there were two sturdy slaves who supported a young man and walked in the front, and then entered the Li family's trading house. The Marquis of Bray recalled the original scene and suddenly asked, "You said that he is the son of Li Xia? ”

"Hmm...... What was Li Yuxuan's expression at that time?" asked Changkong Wuji thoughtfully.

"Uh......" Marquis Bray thought for a moment, and said, "It seems to be smiling but not smiling, as if there is a sense of relief." ”

Changkong Wuji stood in place and pondered, and after a moment, he raised his head and said, "Marquis Bray, please mobilize the garrison to guard the exit of Dams Town, and from now on, don't let anyone leave Dams Town." The chief of the guard, inform the scout team to surround the Li family's trading house. Ye Feng, let's go find your little brother to catch up. ”
