Chapter 102: The Inn of the Wind-blown Lady
Jiang Yimo and Feng Wuhen chased Feng Siniang and her group for a long time, but it seemed as if they had disappeared into the valley out of thin air, and no trace of them could be found anymore.
I go!
"How could these people run so fast? We hadn't even been down the mountain for more than ten minutes when they disappeared without a trace."
"I guess they must have hidden in the valley. Otherwise, they wouldn't have escaped so quickly."
"Then let's look around to see if there are any cave traps or something like that."
"Momo, there's no need to look for it. There's a formation nearby. They must have activated it to hide themselves."
"My Lord, you understand the formation, don't you? Since you can see that there is a formation here, why don't you break it?"
Feng Wuhen smiled helplessly after hearing this and replied, "If I am not mistaken, this is the Cloud Sea Formation, which is mainly used to hide a specific area and make it difficult to be discovered, but its eye stone is in the hands of the person who set up the formation."
"If I want to break this sea of clouds formation, I must find the eye stone in the hands of the person who set up the formation, so that I can break the formation."
"Right now we don't know who set up this formation, so this sea of clouds formation cannot be broken for the time being."
Feng Wuhen patiently explained to Jiang Yimo.
"Oh, that's what happened."
Only after listening to his words did Jiang Yimo understand the knowledge about the Cloud Sea Formation.
Afterwards, the two of them went back to the foot of the cliff. Jiang Yimo searched the surrounding area for half an hour. None of the people who had fallen off the cliff had miraculously survived.
The two of them kept wandering around the mountain, going up and down the mountain, taking one or two trips.
At the same time, the night faded away quietly, the sky was filled with a faint light, and a breeze blew on my face.
The birds in the mountains began to sing happily, the orange color of the sky gradually deepened, and a new day was about to begin.
Later, as soon as it was daybreak, Chu San and Chu Si led General Luo and the others into the cave.
Luo Shaonan was a close confidant of the old emperor, and Feng Wuhen felt that handing this place over to him was most appropriate. Moreover, Luo Shaonan was the old emperor's biological son, and in order not to arouse suspicion from the old emperor and other brothers, the wisest choice was not to interfere in this matter.
Feng Wuhen, who was standing next to him, saw General Luo and looked him up and down.
General Luo was a tall and strong man, about 40 years old. He wore indigo armor and had very dark skin, probably due to being exposed to the wind and rain for many years. He had a square face, thick eyebrows, big eyes, a big nose, a big mouth, and a beard. He was a real rough man.
However, there was a shrewd and resolute look in his eyes, and you could tell at first glance that he was an upright person.
It's no wonder that Feng Wuhen asked him to handle this matter, because this man looks reliable.
When General Luo Shaonan walked into the cave and saw the weapons manufacturing workshop with complete equipment and facilities, he was completely shocked.
"This man is planning to rebel. Since he has dug a mountain and built a weapons manufacturing workshop right under the nose of the imperial city, although it is small, it is enough for him to become a prince. Can you find out who is behind this?" Luo Shaonan asked seriously.
"No, but I have already found out the identities of those people. They are all from the Hundred Ghosts Sect." Feng Wuhen said in a shocking tone.
"People from the Hundred Ghosts Sect?" Luo Shaonan frowned slightly when he heard this, a little bit unbelieving. "The imperial court and those sects in the martial arts world have never had any dealings or grudges with each other. What are they doing here by setting up such a large weapons manufacturing workshop? Are they planning to rebel against the imperial court?"
"I'm not very clear about this, but I guess there is another possibility, that is, someone in the court is colluding with the Hundred Ghosts Sect." Feng Wuhen said truthfully.
"Well, your Highness the Evil King's guess makes sense, but this matter is of great importance. Without solid evidence, we must not make random guesses." Luo Shaonan said earnestly.
"Of course I understand. I said this because I know General Luo well. Otherwise, I would not have let you handle this matter personally."
Feng Wuhen spoke very directly, and his casual words won the heart of the general. After all, what official doesn't want to be praised by his superior?
Luo Shaonan felt comfortable after hearing what the Evil King said, but he did not get carried away because he knew that the Evil King in front of him was not as simple as his brothers seemed.
So, Luo Shaonan quickly changed the subject and turned his eyes to the pretty and lovely girl next to Feng Wuhen.
When Luo Shaonan saw Jiang Yimo's face for the first time, he was not only amazed, but also felt that her face was very familiar.
"Your Majesty, who is this?"
"Oh, I forgot to introduce you. This is Miss Jiang, the granddaughter of General Gu Yebei."
"So she is General Gu's granddaughter. No wonder I felt familiar with her face."
Speaking of Gu Yebei, Luo Shaonan's face changed from its previous serious expression.
"Miss Jiang, speaking of General Gu, he is my mentor. He taught me all my martial arts and combat skills. General Gu personally led me through the military camp for more than ten years. Before I could repay him, something happened to the Gu family..."
As Luo Shaonan spoke, he suddenly felt a little sad.
"Miss Jiang, I have heard about your father, mother and stepmother. Your father is unreliable. You are not coming to the imperial city to seek refuge with your father..."
"General Luo, please don't misunderstand me. I came to the Imperial City with the prince just to have fun. I will not join him."
After hearing this, Luo Shaonan nodded in agreement and immediately praised her.
"I can tell from the first glance that you are a clever little girl, just like your mother was back then."
Whenever Luo Shaonan mentioned Gu Zhiyu, he thought of her every smile.
Feng Wuhen, who was standing nearby, saw the two chatting enthusiastically on their first meeting and felt a little jealous.
So, he deliberately changed the topic between the two people, "General Luo, there are many tricks in the inn in Babu Town. Let's go and search together."
"Okay, actually I have already arranged for the inn to be surrounded. Once I have people arrange everything here, we will go to the inn together to take a look."
After a stick of incense had passed, Feng Wuhen, General Luo, Jiang Yimo and others came out of the tomb and returned to the inn.
After returning to the inn, Feng Wuhen and Luo Shaonan had people search the entire inn. Then, they found the entrance to the secret room from last night and entered the underground torture room.
As a general, Luo Shaonan's hands were stained with the blood of the enemy. There was also a small torture chamber in his military camp. He had personally interrogated and tortured spies and prisoners many times, but it was rare to see such a large underground torture chamber.
This torture chamber is comparable to the Sky Prison. How many prisoners are they planning to interrogate?
