Volume Two, Vortex of Power, Chapter 87: The Return of Gu Lingsheng(1/2)
Two days later, Qi Rusong had just returned from practicing in the [Void Realm] when he heard a rapid knock on the door.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, we found him." Su Mo shouted from outside the door.
He stood up immediately, "Is that the one named Feng? Where did you find him?"
When he opened the door, he saw Su Mo's eyes full of guilt.
"It's my companion..." she said, "But...!"
"But what?" Qi Rushong said, "Where is he? Take me there quickly!"
"My lord, I'm sorry," Su Mo said as he returned the fifty taels of silver to him. "That Lord Feng... was taken away by the second prince's people. He should be with the second prince now!"
"You're moving so fast!" Qi Rusong strode towards the door. "Get your horse ready for me. I have to go to the Second Prince immediately. If it's too late, the white ones will be called black by them."
He walked down the stairs quickly. The training in the [Void Realm] made him too tired, but now he was filled with anger and his whole body was full of strength.
He mounted his war horse and arrived at the second prince's house. The guard seemed to know that he was coming and hurriedly called him in.
Someone called him as he was crossing the courtyard, but Qi Rusong was in such a hurry that he had no time to pay attention. He wanted to run away, but no matter what, he was always the king of the south, and the prince had to maintain a certain degree of dignity.
The second prince's residence is very simple, located in the southeast of Zhongzhou City, only a stick of incense ride away from the palace.
Following the servant to the hall, he found that Guyang and other Zhongzhou City officials had been waiting here for a long time.
"Rusong, you came just in time," seeing Qi Rushong, Guyang quickly waved his hand for him to come forward.
Master Feng stood in the center of the hall, with two royal iron guards supporting him.
"Your Highness, is this...?"
"Hmph, I wanted to talk to you again. There are actually human trafficking thugs in our Zhongzhou City, and you didn't come to tell me." Guyang said.
"There is insufficient evidence, so we dare not act rashly!"
Hearing this, Gu Yang moved. "Then you can listen to the trial again and it would be better to settle this matter as soon as possible."
After Qi Rusong found a seat and sat down, the second prince began to ask, "Do you know your crime? Master Feng!"
"Back to Your Highness, the villain is aware of his crime. He is obsessed with money and has committed the crime of human trafficking." Mr. Feng said his guilt as if he was reciting, "For his own selfish interests, he still wrongfully accuses innocent civilians of being a time-traveling demon.
I've insulted you all." "Humph, you know what I'm doing!" Guyang said, "Master Li, what crime should this man deserve?"
"You should ask Zhan!"
"Drag it down! Behead it immediately!" Guyang announced.
That's it? Qi Rushong couldn't help but take a breath of cold air.
Who is the seller? How to privately determine the identity of the [Travel Demon] without going through the Demon Hunting Gate? How do you send these innocent people to the [Martial Arts Tournament]? How can Mr. Feng operate such a huge operation on his own?
industrial chain?
Who are the other accomplices and how to deal with them!
And...why do you have to wait for me to come for such a simple trial? Is it just for me to see?
He glanced at everyone in the hall, and suddenly, he had a bold guess. These people were all related to Mr. Feng!
"Your Highness, this matter isn't that simple, isn't it?" He couldn't help but question.
"That's enough, this matter is over!" Guyang said sternly, "The others should leave first. Prince Qi and I have other things to discuss."
Everyone left. At this time, Qi Rusong was already dissatisfied with the second prince in front of him.
"Why, what are you dissatisfied with?" Guyang asked him.
"Why so hastily?"
"Oh my god," Gu Yang cursed, "Rusong, what do you want me to do? Get to the bottom of it? Do you think you are the first person to discover similar incidents? Do you know how much is involved!"
Since I knew it a long time ago, I actually ignored it!
"I don't know! I only know that those are my people in Daxia."
"I need these ministers to help me win the throne, not civilians." Guyang said, "I don't want to waste time on this matter! I just have something that I need you to do right now."
Having said this, Qi Rusong was completely disappointed.
"What's the matter?"
"Yue'er will be back at the beginning of next month." Guyang said, "Father asked me to take care of her, but I have something important to do in those few days, so you can go for me."
"Me?" He looked at Guyang blankly, "Isn't it appropriate?"
"What's inappropriate? She governs the Southern Territory on your behalf. Shouldn't you ask her about the government affairs in the Southern Territory these days?"
He really wanted to ask Guyang if this was the bet he made last time? But the words reached his throat and he couldn't say them out.
"Yes!" he finally replied.
When Gu Yang was about to leave, Qi Rusong reminded, "The girl I rescued mentioned a big man wearing a mask."
The second prince stopped, turned around and frowned: "That big shot can't even offend me!"
You really know everything! "Is he really that adult?"
Gu Yang's face darkened, "What is his purpose in training these [mice]? Who is the biggest beneficiary?"
Emperor Daxia! That lord is undoubtedly the prime minister!
Guyang was no longer in the mood to continue talking, "Rusong, I have other official duties to attend to today. You go back and get ready first. It's hard for my imperial sister to have a good impression of a man."
Qi Rusong looked at Guyang, then took heavy steps, turned and left without saying a word. There was a sudden silence in the hall.
~~~~~Separating line~~~
On this day, Gu Lingsheng and his team appeared outside Zhongzhou City, and Qi Rusong had been waiting for a long time.
Today's Princess of Daxia wears a red fur cloak with embroidered green clothes underneath. There are exquisite hairpins on her black hair, making her look particularly charming.
Last time she didn't wear any jewelry, let alone makeup!
She came to Qi Rusong's side and asked, "Have you been waiting for a long time?"
"Did you know that I would be the one to pick up the wind for you?"
"I know my father and brother so well that I can naturally guess that they will send you here." Gu Lingsheng said while observing him, "You should really dress up well. After all, I am also the princess of Daxia."
Qi Rusong felt a little embarrassed. He thought hard and hesitated whether to wear armor or a dress. In the end, he chose the former.
"Excuse me, Your Highness Princess, please do it!"
The two of them rode side by side, but Zhongzhou City looked normal. It seemed that no one except Qi Rushong knew about the return of Princess Daxia.
Gu Lingsheng has long been accustomed to such scenes, and her attention seems to be focused on the King of the South.
"How are you doing?" she asked. "Have you met Mr. Ye?"
"I saw it, and I saw countless poor civilians."
"This problem hasn't been solved yet? The funds allocated to rescue civilians have been swallowed up by these rats again!" Gu Lingsheng pursed her lips.
“It’s so complicated that it’s not easy to solve it completely!”
"Have you also learned what they did?" Gu Lingsheng said, "These are all words to shirk responsibilities. If you eat the emperor's salary, be loyal to the emperor, and worry about the emperor, there is nothing to be afraid of!!! What's more, some people are still
Daxia royal family.
This time, I will definitely catch all these people and catch them all in one fell swoop!"
"But you..."
"I am the princess of Daxia, the successor of the Gu family's spiritual power! Why, you look down on me too?"
Qi Rusong looked at her for a long time, and he now understood why Mr. Ye supported her in inheriting the throne of Daxia.
She was ignored by her father, brother and the people around her, but she cared about the people and was not afraid of power.
"I will support you," Qi Rushong said, "If you need my help, just ask."
"You?" Gu Lingsheng chuckled, "Just take care of yourself."
As she said that, she pointed behind her. He understood that he had been under surveillance since he came to Zhongzhou City.
"Let's talk about Lingnan City," Qi Rushong said, "My people didn't cause you any trouble."
"Trouble? There is no such thing. If possible, I would like to stay in the south." Gu Lingsheng laughed, "The climate is suitable, the people live and work in peace and contentment, and there is a prosperous scene."
"I believe you are serious. Why don't I give a discount to the Emperor of Daxia and let you continue to govern on behalf of me?"
"I don't dare to overstep my bounds," she said as she handed Qi Rusong a letter. "Your wife asked me to give it to you. Don't worry, I didn't peek at it!"
He took the letter and asked, "Is she okay?"
"You can eat and sleep, and you are in good health." Gu Lingsheng laughed. "She asked you when you would go back. I couldn't tell her clearly. I could only tell her that you had a sweetheart in Zhongzhou City. It's been a while.
Can’t go back.”
Qi Rusong pursed his lips somewhat unhappily and said, "Did you really say that? Who am I in love with?"
"She asked me the same question, and then the man named Stone Snake answered her that the lover in my mouth must be He Xiao."
"God, you have to scare me like this!"
