Chapter 53: Imprisoned
Wang Changfeng and Princess Long lowered their heads, followed the group of maids, and quietly walked towards the gate of the mansion.
When he passed the gate, Wang Changfeng raised his head slightly and glanced at the plaque on the door, which read "Miyin Villa" in big letters. He cursed in his heart, this old monster is still pretending to be elegant, what kind of bullshit is the Villa, it's obviously a monster cave.
After entering the gate, there is a long corridor inside, with white jade slabs at the bottom and palace lanterns on both sides, but the lanterns are replaced by red candlelight.
Facing the hall was a large hall. The bright yellow sedan was parked in front of the steps. Two slaves had come over earlier, carrying a three-step footstool and placing it in front of the sedan.
A palace maid stepped forward and opened the sedan curtain. After a while, a person walked out of the sedan. The man was about twenty years old, of medium build, and was wearing a bright yellow robe with five claws embroidered on it.
The golden dragon has the same style as the dragon robe worn by the emperor.
Wang Changfeng wondered in his heart, these demonic people really have their own quirks. It seems that some of them want to be emperors and want to be crazy. Not only do they look like emperors, they even dress like emperors.
Wang Changfeng was looking at the man with his eyes. Unexpectedly, after the man stepped off the footstool, he glanced back casually. Wang Changfeng was so frightened that he quickly lowered his head, as if he could feel the man's eyes drifting over here.
At this time, two boy-like people came out of the main hall, walked to the steps, and bowed to the person: "My master has an order, and I respectfully request His Royal Highness Youxian Wang of the Holy Dynasty to move to Lanfang Courtyard to rest first. The ceremony will be held tomorrow.
It officially starts at noon.”
The man nodded and said, "What is Protector Miyin doing?"
A boy bowed and said: "My master is practicing behind closed doors in Yaoyue Cave and will be released early tomorrow morning."
The man laughed and said: "This old guy can really bear it. He gets married once in eight hundred years and has to practice in seclusion first."
Wang Changfeng's heart skipped a beat, was this old weirdo planning to get married? Suddenly, a terrible thought came to his mind, and he quietly looked at Princess Long San. The latter also had a surprised look on her face, and she had obviously guessed that possibility.
The man said again: "You go and put your things down first, and come to Lanfang Courtyard to find me later." After that, he followed the two boys and left.
A frog slave had already come here and led the group of maids to the backyard.
Wang Changfeng turned his head and whispered: "We will retreat when we find an opportunity. Let's separate and find a place to detain people first. Regardless of whether there is any news, we will meet in front of Lanfang Hospital in an hour."
He didn't know the structure of this house either. He had just heard that there was such a courtyard, so he had no choice but to choose it as the meeting place.
Princess Long San nodded slightly and said nothing.
A group of people filed into a moon gate. Wang Changfeng saw the opportunity and pulled Princess Long to the side and left the group.
Only then did the two discover that the house looked like a large area from a distance, and after entering, it became even more complicated like a maze. The winding lanes separated the courtyards. If there was no one to lead the way, it would be easy to get lost.
.
Wang Changfeng cursed in a low voice: "This old monster loves to create these mazes."
Princess Long San said: "Let's search separately, be careful."
Wang Changfeng said: "Be careful, don't rush in if you are not sure."
Princess Long San did not answer. She turned around and found that she was already a foot away. Within a moment, she disappeared into the alley.
Wang Changfeng took a deep breath, mobilized the breath in his body, maintained an attacking posture at any time, and dodged in another direction.
Wang Changfeng checked along the road one by one. In some courtyards, there was the sound of silk and bamboo, and there was a faint sound. This should not be the place where Zhu Minmin and Yu Zhen'er were imprisoned. Some courtyards were silent, so Wang Changfeng first used the Kung Fu sensor from outside.
If you feel someone is there, climb over the wall and find out.
After searching for more than half an hour, I found nothing except a few guests who came to the banquet.
During this period, he encountered several groups of frog slaves armed with knives patrolling around. Wang Changfeng hid in the dark to avoid disturbing others. However, it seemed that those frog slaves were not only capable of spinning silk, but also used fists, feet, knives and guns.
While he was anxious, Wang Changfeng saw from the corner of his eye what seemed to be a touch of light yellow clothes floating past the alley in the distance.
The frog slaves here all wear dark clothes. Although the palace maids are gorgeously dressed, they are not light yellow.
Only one person can wear clothes of this color, and that's Yu Zhen'er!
Wang Changfeng was shocked. Could it be that Yu Zhen'er was not caught by the water monster, but tracked all the way here? It must have been too difficult and dangerous. He and Princess Long San had gone through great efforts to get here. Yu
Zhen'er's water nature is not as good as his own, and he lacks understanding of the barrier. Logically speaking, he shouldn't enter it.
Wang Changfeng was thinking as he ran towards the entrance of the alley. We will know if he is Yu Zhen'er after catching up with her. If it is really Yu Zhen'er, then naturally it will be much easier to find Zhu Minmin's whereabouts.
Wang Changfeng ran to the entrance of the alley and slowly poked his head out to take a look. He saw the clothes flashing in front of him and then disappearing into another alley.
Now that the matter has come to this, Wang Changfeng can only step forward to take a closer look.
He lifted his feet and reached another alleyway in a moment.
Wang Changfeng stuck his head out to observe again, but found that it was completely empty, with a light yellow back anywhere.
Wang Changfeng was a little confused. He moved very fast, and the figure didn't look like he was running in a hurry. Logically speaking, he shouldn't be chasing him.
Suddenly, Wang Changfeng felt something cold on his back. Just as he was about to turn his head, a cold voice came from behind: "Don't move if you don't want to die. Just do as I say." Just as the voice finished, the thing on his back moved again.
Pushing forward, Wang Changfeng felt as if his muscles had been pierced a little, and he couldn't help but let out a cry.
There is no doubt that what is on his back is a dagger. And Yu Zhen'er, like him, also carries the dagger with him.
When Wang Changfeng heard it, he knew it was Yu Zhen'er's voice, and couldn't help but whisper: "It's me, little senior sister."
Yu Zhen'er took back the dagger and asked suspiciously: "Why did you chase me here? Are you alone?"
Wang Changfeng then turned around and looked at Yu Zhen'er in front of him. He saw that her expression was a little dull and she was looking at him blankly. He then said: "This is not the place to talk. Have you found a place to stay?"
Yu Zhen'er nodded and said: "There is an uninhabited yard nearby, come with me." After saying that, he walked forward.
Wang Changfeng felt that something was wrong with Yu Zhen'er, but he couldn't tell what was wrong. He thought it was because Yu Zhen'er was frightened and tortured, and her behavior was abnormal.
Wang Changfeng followed Yu Zhen'er, turning left and right, and finally came to the door of a house.
Yu Zhen'er seemed to have been here before. After looking around for no one, she gently opened the courtyard door and walked in.
Wang Changfeng followed him through the door and closed the door behind him.
This small courtyard is not big, with only three rooms. It must be a place for servants to live.
After entering the house, Yu Zhener found a teapot and teacup, poured Wang Changfeng a cup of tea first, and said, "I've drunk this tea before, and there's nothing wrong with it."
Wang Changfeng took the tea cup and smelled it. It was fragrant, but it was not a common variety in the Central Plains. I don't know where the old man got it from.
Wang Changfeng took a sip and said, "Where is Princess Min? Have you found out?"
"I probably know which courtyard he is locked in, but the defense there is too tight. I failed to get in several times and was almost discovered by the guards."
"What is the old monster's purpose in capturing Princess Min?"
"According to my observation, the old monster seemed to be preparing for a big wedding, but he didn't find the bride. I guess he thought Princess Min was--" Yu Zhen'er stopped talking.
Wang Changfeng's hand shook and he almost dropped the tea cup. He had already guessed this deep in his heart, but now that Yu Zhen'er said it, he still felt a little shocked.
"Humans and demons are different. If the old monster wants to marry Princess Min, he may have other evil intentions."
"I overheard some rumors about this. The guards were talking privately. It seems that the old monster has encountered an obstacle in his practice and must resolve it through marriage."
Wang Changfeng fell into deep thought. There was a mention in "History of the Foreign Lands of the Sea and Sky" about an evil technique that relies on absorbing virgin souls to break through the obstacles in the practice of demonic techniques. There is only a little description and no explanation of what kind of technique it is.
But no matter what, the old monster definitely didn't want to get married because he fell in love with Princess Min. He must have other motives.
Yu Zhener said: "You came in by yourself?"
Wang Changfeng shook his head: "There is also the third princess Long. The two of us have split up. For the current plan, we must first determine where Princess Min is being held, and then we must rescue her before tomorrow's ceremony."
Yu Zhen'er nodded and said: "That's true. You rest for a while, I'll go find out more and then make a plan."
Wang Changfeng stood up and said: "Time is tight, there is no time to rest. I will go with you." As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly felt a little dizzy. He shook his head and felt that Yu Zhen'er in front of him became a little blurry, and there was a deep feeling.
A deep sense of fatigue came over him, and Wang Changfeng could no longer hold on. His whole body went limp and he fell to the ground.
While half asleep and half awake, Wang Changfeng felt as if he was lying on a large piece of ice, and his body was freezing. He was shivering from the cold, but he was so weak that he couldn't get up.
After an unknown amount of time, Wang Changfeng suddenly woke up and saw that he was in a windowless room with a palace lantern hanging above his head, illuminating the room dimly.
After moving his hands and feet, he found that he was tied to an ice bed and could not move at all.
Wang Changfeng tried his best to recall. He only remembered that he took a sip of tea and said a few words to Yu Zhen'er. He had no other impressions.
At this moment, I heard a burst of laughter coming from outside, the door opened in response, and a middle-aged man wearing a Taoist robe walked in first, followed by several frog slaves, and a familiar face, Yu Zhen'er.
.
Although Wang Changfeng had just guessed that it might be related to Yu Zhen'er, he still couldn't believe it. It wasn't until he saw Yu Zhen'er coming in that his judgment was confirmed.
The Taoist stepped forward, looked at Wang Changfeng carefully from head to toe, shook his head, and exclaimed: "It's rare, it's rare, it's a pity, it's a pity."
Wang Changfeng calmed down at this time and said coldly to Yu Zhen'er: "Did you do it?" He would not believe it until Yu Zhen'er said it herself.
"Other than my protective saint, who else can you trust so much?" The Taoist didn't wait for Yu Zhen'er to answer, but answered for her first.
Wang Changfeng said: "Saint Protector? I'm afraid you have used evil methods to control her. If you have the guts, let me go and let's compete in an open and honest manner."
The Taoist laughed loudly and said: "Ignorant boy, you are still trying to be strong and competitive even when you are about to die. It's a pity that the Yuan Shen Pearl I have been cultivating for nearly a thousand years was destroyed by that weirdo on Langhuan Immortal Island, causing me to have to Use the thousand-year-old ice bed to restrain the pure Yang energy in your body, and then perform a dissection to obtain the elixir." The Taoist said this as if he was having a family affair with Wang Changfeng, but what he was talking about was a very bloody thing.
Wang Changfeng's heart skipped a beat. No wonder he tied himself to this extremely cold bed of ice. He planned to cool himself down before cutting open his stomach and taking out the unformed inner elixir from his Dantian.
The Taoist didn't wait for Wang Changfeng to speak, and said to himself: "God is really helping me, double happiness has come to my door. The baby girl you brought has a very good constitution, and she can be used as a medicine for spiritual practice, and the beads in your belly... You will help me achieve great success in the near future. I really should thank you." After saying that, he burst into laughter.
