His innermost thoughts were revealed, and he ventured into a fictional dynasty with the system.
Chapter 54: Crisis 4 (1)
After daybreak, Qin Qianluo confirmed that no more soldiers would come to search before entering her space to have breakfast with everyone. Qin Qianluo pondered that she should rest outside for the next few days, otherwise it would be difficult if she was not found during a search.
Under the treatment of the imperial physician, Emperor Xuanyuan regained consciousness. The first thing he did was ask if the person had been found. Upon learning that they had not been found, he angrily smashed the medicine bowl. Just as he was about to order the head of the guards to be dragged away and beheaded, he heard the head of the guards say that there was a clue.
Suppressing his anger, he had someone present the clue. He saw a footprint and looked at the head of the guards, who quickly recounted what he had discovered the previous night.
The Yellow Emperor stared at the footprints, lost in thought. Were these children's footprints made by Ling Xue and her two companions? Or rather, were they made by Ling Xue and her two companions with a child?
He suddenly remembered that the news from a few days ago mentioned that there were six of them, including a little boy. It must be them. How did they manage to do it? People disappearing overnight, opium disappearing overnight—this didn't seem like something that could be done by human power.
He frowned in thought, then suddenly remembered Qin Qianluo from Tianxuan Kingdom. She seemed to be a child as well, but wasn't Qin Qianluo a woman? Could she be a woman disguised as a man? Had Ling Xue and the other two sided with Qin Qianluo?
Thinking of this, he was furious. He had been played by a little girl. It was truly hateful. When he caught her, he would definitely torture her severely. Ling Xue and the other two were even more hateful.
But how could she disappear overnight? It seems the one in the capital of Tianxuan Kingdom is a fake. The real Qin Qianluo is already in her own country and has some means to make people and things disappear overnight.
He stroked his chin, his interest in Qin Qianluo growing stronger. If he could just capture her, all his questions would be answered, and he was determined to obtain those magical things she possessed.
After figuring it out, he ordered the guards to search for a boy around eleven years old, and gave everyone a portrait of Qin Qianluo, asking them to look for him in the portrait.
The head guard took the portrait from the eunuch and was puzzled to find that it was of a woman. After the Emperor Xuanyuan said that it was a woman dressed as a man, they realized what he meant and left to carry out the order.
After the guards left, Emperor Xuanyuan was somewhat excited. He was about to capture Qin Qianluo. He had heard that she could not only produce many useful items, but was also extremely beautiful. He was determined to enjoy her to the fullest.
Thinking this, his heart, which had been aching with anger, felt a little better. He looked forward to the guards capturing the man and bringing him before him. The thought of that scene made him smile lewdly.
At this time, Qin Qianluo was unaware that she had been exposed. After having breakfast and training for a while, she took Xuan You out of the space, preparing to perfect the specific details of the imperial city before heading to the next stop.
As soon as the two stepped out of the space, they smelled a fragrance. Xuan You cautiously scanned the room and saw a stick of incense burning on the window frame, with a note next to it.
He walked over cautiously and recognized it as the Shadow Guard's incense. The Emperor had shown them this incense when he told them the list; it was used to transmit important messages.
A bad feeling welled up in his heart. He picked up the note and checked it. Sure enough, it was bad news. After confirming that there was no problem, he plucked the incense stick, extinguished it, and handed the note to Qin Qianluo, saying, "It's a message from the Shadow Guard."
Qin Qianluo took the note, which said that the guards were searching her with her portrait. Qin Qianluo was shocked, realizing that she had been exposed. Just as she was about to leave the room with Xuan You, she heard a noise. Xuan You opened the window a little and saw that there were people all outside.
Hearing the sounds getting closer and closer, it was too late to go out now. They had no choice but to take Xuan You into the space and wait for an opportunity to leave. As soon as the two entered the space, the door was violently opened and countless soldiers poured in.
The people in the space were speechless for a moment. How could they have discovered it so quickly? The Shadow Guard's message had just arrived, and the incense had only burned a little bit. Everyone was puzzled.
Half an hour ago, the soldiers who had searched Qin Qianluo's room the day before looked at the portrait more and more familiar with it. They showed the portrait to the people who had searched with them that day, and they also felt that it looked familiar. Suddenly, they remembered that it was at Tongshun Inn, where the person who looked like a playboy was almost exactly the same as the person in the portrait, only the gender was different.
The group quickly found the guards and told them what had happened. They were then taken to the head guard. The head guard looked at the portrait in shock. This was too audacious. How could someone so blatantly stay in an inn?
He hurriedly led his men to Tongshun Inn, but it just so happened that the search was of a noodle shop. The shadow guards left behind were the same ones from that day. Upon seeing the portrait, they knew something was wrong. After the searching soldiers left, they quickly went to deliver the message.
It was only then that the two who had just emerged from the space saw them. Even if they had been any later, they would have been in danger, surrounded and captured. It must be said that they were lucky. Otherwise, if they had really come out and faced the soldiers of the Xuanyuan Kingdom, Qin Qianluo and Xuan You probably wouldn't have been able to return to the space to hide so easily.
The soldiers came in and found no one, but instead of leaving, they guarded the room and even the windows. Qin Qianluo's lips twitched. It seemed she couldn't take advantage of the chaos to leave. She would just wait until the soldiers withdrew.
The head guard brought the message to the palace. Emperor Xuanyuan listened with narrowed eyes and pondered. The guard said that the manager had not seen anyone leave, but the room was empty and the bed was cold, indicating that the person had been gone for some time.
The order was given quickly, and the soldiers arrived at the inn just as fast. Based on what the soldiers told the guard leader, it was confirmed that Qin Qianluo was staying there. But what about the other five people? What about the dozen or so women they had abducted?
Emperor Xuanyuan was not stupid. After all, anyone who could sit on that throne, no matter how extravagant, decadent, incompetent, or tyrannical, could not be an idiot, otherwise they would not have been able to hold the throne for so many years.
He pondered, unable to understand how she had disappeared. The head of the guards guessed that she had gone out to gather intelligence, but he didn't think so. If she were gathering intelligence, she would have found that the soldiers and guards were searching for her all over the city. Based on her behavior in the past few times, he knew that Qin Qianluo was not reckless. If she found the people searching for her, she would definitely choose to leave the capital and hide.
However, the guards at the city gate did not find anything amiss, indicating that the person was still in the imperial city, and there was a high probability that they were in that room. It's just that they only had a few days, so it was impossible for them to dig out the secret passage, and the soldiers did not find the secret passage in the room either.
That would rule out the possibility of secret passages and hidden rooms. Considering that the people from the spy camp and Poppy had both disappeared suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: it was very likely the legendary Sumeru Mustard Seed. With that thought, everything made sense.
He brightened his eyes and ordered his men to find five of the top ten experts. Qin Qianluo must have hidden in the Sumeru Mustard Seed, which means she's still in that room. He just needs to have someone guard that room, and they will definitely come out to find food. After all, there are at least twenty people, and they can't possibly go without food.
With the traitor Dark Moon by Qin Qianluo's side, if I leave ordinary soldiers to guard her, there's no guarantee they won't have a chance to break out. Besides, Qin Qianluo can't go out unprotected, so I'll send five experts. That way, I won't have to worry, and I can just wait.
Qin Qianluo, who was drying and stretching fur in the space, sneezed. She rubbed her nose without paying attention and continued to stretch and fix the fur she had killed in the hunting grounds. She had been busy these past few days and hadn't had time to take care of these furs. Since she couldn't go out today anyway, she might as well do this first.
With everyone working together, they finished quickly and in no time. Qin Qianlu clapped her hands, telling everyone to go and rest, and went to the fruit section to get some apples, washed them, and carried the plate to the light screen to observe.
Five more people appeared outside the light screen, sitting in five different directions, waiting for something with their eyes closed. Qin Qianlu was slightly taken aback. When she saw An Yue walking towards her, she quickly waved to her. An Yue quickened her pace and came to Qin Qianlu's side.
She pointed to the five people outside the light screen and asked, "Sister Dark Moon, who are they? They're not wearing the clothes of soldiers or guards."
Dark Moon looked in the direction the finger was pointing, her eyes filled with disbelief. The top ten experts? Five of them have come? Seeing that the second and third ranked experts had also arrived, a chill ran through Dark Moon's heart.
He swallowed hard and said, "These are five of the top ten masters in the Xuanyuan Kingdom. Their martial arts are so high that I am no match for them. I can't even last three moves against the one ranked last."
Qin Qianluo was stunned when she heard this. She stared wide-eyed at the five people, then at An Yue. Seeing that An Yue also looked incredulous, she turned her head back to look at the five people.
In his mind, he said to 001, "Even Sister Dark Moon couldn't beat them, so why are these five here? Aren't all the masters supposed to be retired from the martial world? How come they're working for the royal family?"
001 Not knowing their names or their information, I'd like to ask Dark Moon if she knows their names so I can investigate.
Upon hearing this, Qin Qianluo asked, "Sister Dark Moon, do you know who they are? How skilled are they in martial arts?"
Dark Moon also heard 001's voice. Since 001 didn't know the names of the foreigners, it couldn't see the information. So it pointed at the group and introduced them to Qin Qianluo one by one.
She pointed to the one on the far right and said, "The one in gray is named Wuhen, and is ranked ninth. The one in black is named Canglei, and is ranked seventh. The one in white is named Leiting, and is ranked fifth. The one in black is named Xuesha, and is ranked third. The one in red is named Youming, and is ranked second."
Qin Qianluo gasped in surprise: "Three of the top five are here?"
Dark Moon also found it unbelievable. Hearing Qin Qianluo's shocked voice, she nodded. 001 looked at the people's appearances, matched the names, found the information of several people, and her whole body trembled.
It spoke with a sigh, "Luo Bao, these people are all loyal to Emperor Xuanyuan or the Xuanyuan royal family. According to the information, Emperor Xuanyuan probably sensed that you have a treasure similar to the Sumeru Mustard Seed, guessed that you were still in the room, and was worried that you would lead Dark Moon and the Dark Guards to fight your way out, so he sent experts to guard the area."
Qin Qianluo looked completely bewildered. "So, the Emperor Xuanyuan knew I was here? Should I praise him for being so clever as to surround me like this?"
001 responded somewhat blankly, "Now it seems, yes, he guessed it, and even if all these experts, Dark Moon and the Dark Guards combined, couldn't defeat them, especially the second and third ranked ones, they are terrifyingly powerful."
Qin Qianluo plopped down on the ground, crossed her legs, took a vicious bite of an apple, and didn't forget to offer one to An Yue. An Yue took it and sat down on the ground with her.
As she ate her apple, she said, "That dog emperor really thinks highly of me, sending so many experts to surround me. He's also quite clever; indulging in lust hasn't damaged his brain, and he can still guess so much and make such a meticulous deployment."
After saying that, he took another vicious bite, his cheeks bulging, his aura as if he were biting the flesh of the Yellow Emperor. His face still had a bit of baby fat, making him look fierce yet adorable.
