Deposed Crown Prince: After three years of service on the frontier, the entire court knelt and begge

After watching Morgana leave, Xiao Ce saw that Boudica and Yin Pan'er both looked preoccupied.

Xiao Ce said to them, "Why are you all making such a long face?"

Boudica saw Xiao Ce and said, "Ce, if I had been paying attention, we would have known the moment he left..."

Yin Pan'er nodded, "I'm worried that the mad Taoist priest might have been called away by that person..."

After hearing what the two were saying, Xiao Ce smiled and said to them, "You two can rest assured... I think this is a good thing..."

Hearing Xiao Ce say this, the two were even more puzzled and asked, "Ce, do you think this is a good thing?"

Xiao Ce nodded to the two men, then said, "Isn't this a good thing? Actually, although this mad Taoist has helped us a lot, we should all know that he's not really one of us. Last time he helped me because I exploited a loophole..."

"Moreover, you should know very well that they came to our side not to help us... they were there to keep an eye on us. They all came with a mission... we only comforted ourselves by saying it was okay because we had no way to deal with them."

"So, now that they're gone, I think it's a good thing. At least it tells us a few things... that they have more important things to do..."

Then Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er, "Pan'er, first of all, don't worry too much about that person. Actually, after this incident at the Illuminati headquarters, we know that he has many enemies, not just me... Moreover, it's clear that their conflicts of interest are more serious. I'm definitely not at the heart of their struggle..."

"So, if that person shows up, I'm definitely not the one who'll be most worried..."

Upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, Yin Pan'er nodded and then said, "Your Highness, you're right..."

Xiao Ce then looked at Boudica, who was still frowning, and said, "This matter is even less relevant to you, Boudica. To be honest, I didn't even dare to talk to you about it earlier. I know very well that they weren't up to anything by suddenly appearing like that person… Although he can protect you, I think the potential danger is greater. Now that he's gone, I actually think it's beneficial…"

"Besides, if they want to leave, no one can stop them..."

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Boudica nodded first, and then looked at Xiao Ce.

Xiao Ce smiled at Boudica and then said, "I know you think I'm just trying to comfort you. While I am partly trying to comfort you, a large part of the reason is indeed like this... I was just wondering how to help you prevent him from getting away, or how to deal with him... If he really escapes, it would truly be a one-time solution..."

With just a few words, Xiao Ce dispelled Boudica's concerns.

Yin Pan'er and Boudica said to Xiao Ce, "Your Highness, you really do have magic power..."

Xiao Ce smiled at Yin Pan'er and said, "This isn't some kind of magic! Is this even a fact? Didn't I tell you all that we should allow anything to happen..."

Yin Pan'er smiled upon hearing Xiao Ce's words, then nodded: "Yes!"

Xiao Ce flicked his sleeve as he spoke, and then told them to start eating.

At this moment, Da Lei, who had been standing beside Xiao Ce, watched Xiao Ce without saying a word.

Da Lei knew very well that Xiao Ce spoke lightly, but at this moment he had the most to consider.

After Morgana went out, she actually didn't have to put in much effort to find out some information.

First, the sounds of gunfights broke out outside the city, even though guns were banned in Lingas.

Although there is no strict gun control outside of Lingas, some draft laws have already been developed.

So the sounds of fighting quickly became the talk of the town, but since it happened outside the city, no one paid any attention to it.

Later, some people said that two martial arts masters were having a duel outside the city.

Those two are incredibly skilled and extremely capable fighters.

It is said that the fighting lasted for several hours, and a clearing was actually cleared out in that forest, where all the trees had been cut down.

They didn't know whether those people were having a martial arts contest or cutting down trees.

After hearing those rumors, Morgana immediately felt that something was wrong.

So Morgana took her people and went to investigate.

After he finished gathering his men and went outside the city, quite a few curious people had already begun to investigate…

In that grove of trees, there were fallen trees everywhere, some of which had been cut down.

The scene was a mess, although no fighting was seen.

However, Morgana could guess from the mess at the scene.

Upon seeing Morgana approach, many onlookers began to chat with her.

"Lady Morgana, you've arrived. What exactly is going on here?"

"Yes, Lady Morgana, are these people related to the people you've wanted...?"

...

The people here were asking questions one after another, and most of them didn't know the answer.

They all came to watch the play later.

Morgana, of course, couldn't tell them the truth. Instead, she addressed the group, asking, "Gentlemen, I've also heard the news about this intense battle. I suspect they might be involved in that fight..."

After hearing Morgana's words, they smiled broadly and said, "Yes, that's true... We also think there's something wrong with this..."

Morgana looked at the people beside her, who were chatting about trivial matters.

Morgana then asked them, "By the way, everyone, did any of you witness this battle...?"

The people present looked at each other, but no one agreed.

Morgana then addressed the group, saying, "Everyone, please spread the word. Anyone who has news, witnesses the battle, or sees any trace of those involved, please come and tell me. If the information is useful, I will certainly reward you..."

"However, if it's forged or counterfeited, I will definitely punish it..."

After hearing Morgana's words, they all nodded.

"Lady Morgana, we overheard them in the city saying there were two people fighting here... but these two were incredibly fast and their movements were extremely unpredictable. So, it was impossible to see them clearly in a short time..."

Morgana heard someone nearby speaking to her.

After hearing what these people were saying, Morgana asked, "You heard it, not saw it with your own eyes, right?"

The person who had accompanied Morgana to report nodded and then said, "That's right, Lady Morgana, I did hear about it... but I haven't seen it myself..."

"Then you'll get a reward if you find that person and bring him here!"

The person who was reporting to Morgana nodded excitedly after hearing what Morgana said.

"Okay, I'll go right now..."

After Morgana said that, the onlookers chimed in, "I know that too... I know people like that..."

“Yes, yes, I know people like that too… I need to go and see them… Do they know?”

"I also heard about someone who said he was looking through binoculars..."

The onlookers quickly dispersed, since there was nothing interesting or exciting to see at the scene except for a mess.

However, Morgana said that she could perform meritorious service.

Not only can you earn merit, but you can also receive rewards.

They might as well go back to Lingas and try their luck instead of staying here…

As she spoke, Morgana still sent people to conduct a thorough search of the site.

Morgana is almost certain that the fight here was caused by the Mad Taoist.

After all, a series of messages can be connected.

Morgana didn't stay idle either; she immediately went back to report.

As for further news, we will have to wait for more information.

Morgana maintains a very positive and optimistic attitude towards this, for no other reason than that she has seen quite a few battles like this.

Moreover, according to what I heard from the people around me, quite a few people had indeed seen it before.

Although those people were watching from a distance, they should have been able to see clearly if they had binoculars.

Morgana has already mobilized the masses; if anyone sees it, there will definitely be news.

As for this battle zone, he still sent people to search it slowly.

Morgana instructed Luna to stay here while she went back to report to Xiao Ce.

After Morgana returned...

She originally thought that Xiao Ce, Boudica, and Yin Pan'er must be as anxious as ants on a hot pan.

However, when they returned, they found them eating and chatting happily.

There was no trace of the anxiety he had shown just moments before on his face.

This startled Morgana, who even wondered if the mad Taoist had returned.

"Morgana, you're back? So fast?" Xiao Ce asked Morgana first.

Morgana nodded to Xiao Ce, then smiled and said, "Mr. Ce, I was just worried you'd be concerned, so I came back with some news..."

Morgana paused for a moment, then turned to Xiao Ce and asked, "Mr. Ce, has the Mad Taoist returned?"

Upon hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce was taken aback for a moment, then said to Morgana, "Of course not. Why do you say that? Did you receive some news?"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana waved her hand and said, "No, no, Mr. Ce, I was just thinking that you seemed very relaxed, so I assumed you had some good news..."

Upon hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled, then gave a wry smile: "No, he didn't come back. I saw Yin Pan'er and Boudica were very anxious, so I said a few words of advice to them. Now it seems that my advice was quite effective..."

As he spoke, Xiao Ce said to Morgana, "Morgana, seeing you come back like this, you must have some news on your end?"

Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, yes, we just investigated. First, in Lingas City, we saw two dark figures moving quickly through the city, seemingly in pursuit..."

"But the two of them were so fast that no one saw what they looked like. Whether it was their speed of movement, the time they spent in the city, or anything else, they were all able to keep up... One of the two of them should be the Mad Taoist."

"There's also the sight of fighting and brawling outside Lingas City..."

Morgana then recounted what she had seen outside the city.

After hearing Morgana's description, Xiao Ce was almost certain.

That's the Mad Taoist.

Because of the intensity, it seemed like a battle that wasn't even humanly fought.

After listening to Xiao Ce's words, Morgana probably also felt that he had exaggerated too much.

Morgana then said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, of course, none of what I'm saying is what I witnessed firsthand, nor did those who are talking about it witness it themselves; they all heard it from rumors. However, I've already put out a reward, and it shouldn't be long before someone comes to report this news... What I said is somewhat exaggerated..."

Xiao Ce nodded and said to Morgana, "Morgana, this is not an exaggeration at all. I am absolutely certain that it is indeed the Mad Taoist..."

With a smile, Xiao Ce said to Yin Pan'er and Boudica, "Moreover, it seems I was right. There shouldn't be just one robot like the Mad Taoist, and they seem to be on different sides..."

"However, regardless of which faction they belong to, I'm certain they're not from our side, so let them fight it out..."

Yin Pan'er and Boudica both nodded; they admired Xiao Ce.

Yin Pan'er said, "Doesn't this also prove that their influence is gradually appearing here...?"

Xiao Ce shook his head: "I don't know... but once I show myself, I believe there are no secrets that stay hidden forever..."

Morgana listened to their conversation, but some parts of it were completely incomprehensible to her.

At this moment, Xiao Ce looked at Morgana and said, "Morgana, could you send some people over to that scene you mentioned right now? Also, bring over all the tree branches and anything else that you think shouldn't be there!"

After hearing Xiao Ce's words, Morgana smiled and said, "Mr. Ce, yes, I've already taken care of it..."

Hearing Morgana's words, Xiao Ce smiled and said, "As expected of you, good! You've worked hard. Morgana, don't stand there, sit down and have something to eat with us..."

As Morgana spoke, she glanced at the attendants waiting for her not far to the side.

Judging from the servant's appearance, it was clear that he had something to report.

Morgana said to Xiao Ce, "Mr. Ce, thank you for your kindness, but I probably won't have time to come for dinner right now."

After speaking, Morgana asked the waiting servant, "What is it?"
