After being demoted, my 300,000-strong army trampled the imperial city!

Tianjizi instructed his disciples to search for Longluo, and he would also go to find her himself.

Chen Futu said to the man in blue in front of him, "Teacher, go to the imperial prison to interrogate him. If he really did it, you can do whatever you want with him."

Qingyi couldn't wait any longer and immediately caught up with the Dragon City garrison.

The matter has come to a temporary end. As for whether Long Luo is dead or alive, or whether she has been hidden away by Yin Jian and used as a toy, we can only wait and see.

Previously, the system prompted Chen Futu to choose whether or not to save Long Luo. He did not choose to save her because, given the system's nature, he would definitely have to go and save her in person. Secondly, the system's option of not saving her was to provide food and coal, which are essential for disaster relief. From the perspective of the Northern Frontier King, one Long Luo was far less important than the people of the Northern Frontier.

Just to be on the safe side, Chen Futu dispatched his shadow guards to search secretly, hoping to find the person as soon as possible.

Two or three days passed in the blink of an eye. The disaster relief was going very smoothly. Chen Futu did not buy grain from the three major grain merchants. Instead, they became anxious and sent representatives to the capital, hoping to have a face-to-face meeting.

Chen Futu refused to see any of them, telling them all to get lost.

In addition, Ake's injuries have also healed, and she is secretly searching for Longluo, but Longluo seems to have vanished into thin air.

According to Li Yuanfang, the people did see Yin Jian and Long Luo together at the time. Later, the two left together and Long Luo was never seen again.

Inside the imperial prison, the sounds of whipping and screams filled the air.

The woman in green personally tortured Yin Jian, but Yin Jian stubbornly refused to admit that he had done it.

"Your Majesty, if this continues, Yin Jian will likely die in the imperial prison, and all leads will be cut off."

Consort Ge reported that Qingyi had just given Yin Jian a severe beating, and Tianjizi went to visit her and almost got into a fight with her.

"The only clue lies with Yin Jian, so we can't just kill him..."

After a moment's thought, Chen Futu made a plan and whispered something to Ake.

Ake nodded. "Your subordinate understands and will certainly not fail in your mission."

Chen Futu then went to the imperial prison in person.

In the dark and damp dungeon, Yin Jian was tightly bound by chains, his body covered in whip marks, while Tianjizi was confronting Qingyi.

The man in green robes cursed angrily, "Old bastard, if we weren't in Dragon City, I would have already wiped out your Heavenly Secrets Palace!"

“Fellow Daoist in green robes, if you want to force a confession, look at the state of this child you have tortured.”

"That's what he deserves!"

The woman in green refused to budge an inch and was about to attack.

Terrified, Yin Jian cried out at the top of his lungs, "Grandmaster, save me!"

"Qingyi, do you think I have no temper? Even though I shielded you from a disaster before, how about you repay the favor?"

Tianjizi protected Yin Jian.

Upon hearing this, the whip that Qingyi had raised came down.

That night, when Blood Eye attacked, it was indeed Tianjizi who protected her. She was not an ungrateful person, but since she couldn't find Long Luo, how could she, as her senior sister, let her go?

Looking at the horribly injured Yin Jian, Chen Futu sneered at Tianjizi, "Old sir, after so long the trial has yielded no results, I'm afraid my junior uncle is in grave danger."

Upon hearing this, Tianjizi fell silent.

Chen Futu continued, "Previously, the old gentleman warned me, and the Northern Frontier owes you a favor. You can take the person away now."

Tianjizi was overjoyed upon hearing this and expressed his deepest gratitude.

Qingyi frowned, as if she wanted to say something, but Chen Futu shook his head, indicating that they could talk later.

The woman in green had no choice but to shut up.

Soon, Tianjizi took away the half-dead Yin Jian.

After watching the two leave, the man in green asked, "What is Your Majesty's intention?"

"Don't worry, teacher. I have instructed Ake to hide in the shadows and keep an eye on Yin Jian. I expect that guy will be unable to resist going to Long Luo. As long as we follow him, we will definitely be able to find him."

Even the strongest beings can only sustain themselves for seven or eight days with their true energy. With Long Luo's strength, she could only sustain herself for ten days at most without eating or drinking.

If they don't release her, she'll surely die even if she lives. Once they see her, they can get rid of Yin Jian, this scourge.

Qingyi had no choice but to comply.

After returning, Yin Jian did nothing on the first day but recuperated from his injuries. On the second day, he found Tianjizi and said angrily, "Chen Futu and Qingyi are going too far. Our ancestor has clearly been kind to them, yet they still attacked me. I want to leave Dragon City."

Upon hearing this, Tianjizi opened his mouth, but finally smiled bitterly and said, "Fine, I'll explain things to the King of the Northern Frontier for you."

"Master, there's no need. I have nothing to fear. I will find Long Luo to clear my name and let the people see how the King of the Northern Frontier framed the innocent."

"You may say these things to me, but you must not spread them outside. The King of the Northern Frontier is a powerful ruler. If it weren't for our past relationship, he would really kill you."

Tianjizi solemnly warned him repeatedly.

Yin Jian nodded repeatedly, then dragged his injured body and led his disciples to search for Long Luo's whereabouts.

Upon receiving the news, Chen Futu granted him special permission to leave Longcheng to search for it.

Around dusk, Consort Ge hurriedly arrived: "Your Majesty, Yin Jian said he has found Long Luo. Qingyi and Tianjizi have already gone there and are in the north of the city."

"His true colors have finally come out; he's even bolder than I expected."

Just then, Di Renjie rushed over to report the results of his investigation. "Your Majesty, it has been determined that it was Yin Jian who attacked your No. 1 residence, and it was also he who spread the news that made you issue an edict of self-reproach."

"really interesting……"

Chen Futu chuckled, not particularly surprised.

Di Renjie then explained the details of how Yin Jian committed the crime. It turned out that before Tianjizi went to find Chen Futu, Yin Jian already knew that Tianjizi had calculated that there would be an earth dragon turning over.

Yin Jian used tricks, taking advantage of the name of Tianji Mansion, to spread rumors among the maids who went out to buy things, saying that there was a problem with the feng shui of the mansion, and that if it was slightly changed, the mistress could give birth to a boy, and the status of these maids and attendants would also rise accordingly.

The bewitched maid believed him and secretly let him into the mansion to see the layout of the house. As a result, he used his internal energy to destroy the beams, pillars and foundation of the main hall. When the earth dragon turned over, the main hall could not withstand the slightest tremor.

In Yin Jian's view, Chen Futu cared a lot about Li Xiuning, and in fact, Chen Futu did stay by Li Xiuning's side for those few days. However, the time it took for the earth dragon to turn over was too long, so Chen Futu returned to the royal court to handle government affairs. As a result, no sooner had he left than something happened.

"Fine, fine, so you're swearing an oath, huh? You want to be pierced by a thousand arrows, huh? Yin Jian, I thought you wanted to be a dragon knight, but you've really gone too far."

Chen Futu stood up with a grim face. "Send the order! Luo Wushuang, mobilize three thousand female soldiers, prepare powerful crossbows, and accompany me to the north of the city for an inspection!"

"Here!"

Consort Ge quickly went to deliver the message, and soon the women's army was assembled.

Chen Futu mounted his horse, and together with Dian Wei, Luo Wushuang, and Ge Fei, they set off.
