Chapter 223 Grandpa Turtle's Parkour Meal
"You never even considered giving me the position of city lord of Haimu City, did you!" Liu Taiqing gritted his teeth.
Jun Ce looked over with a cold gaze.
"Lou Yu will succeed Lou Yu as the city lord."
"Lou Yu..." Liu Taiqing paused for a moment, "Is that the leader of Black Wind Stronghold?"
Zhai Rong raised an eyebrow. "I didn't expect that Prefect Liu would also recognize him."
[I knew Lou Yu was no ordinary person.]
[Even someone as arrogant as Liu Taiqing knew his name.]
I feel at ease handing Hai Mu City over to him.
Liu Taiqing was furious. "You would rather hand over the position of city lord to a bandit than trust this county!"
Gunpowder and treasure are all irrelevant to me!
This regent is clearly treating me like a fool!
His chest heaved violently, his eyes bloodshot. "Fine, since there's no hope for this county, I'll send you all to meet the King of Hell!"
Suddenly, he slid a short knife out of his sleeve and charged fiercely at Jun Ce.
"Lord, be careful!"
Fei Ying was close by and was about to rush up when the Boundless Divine Turtle, lying on the gold mine, lazily opened its eyelids, snorted through its nostrils, and gently twitched its whiskers.
Liu Taiqing suddenly stopped in his tracks, and the short knife clattered to the ground.
He pressed his veins, his forehead veins bulging with pain.
"what happened……"
"Gu worms...it's Gu worms..."
He then noticed that all the blood vessels in his body were throbbing one after another, and there was a small insect scurrying around inside.
No wonder... no wonder I had such different feelings for Cang Zhihe before.
It turns out it was caused by a Gu worm.
Zhai Rongyu looked at him with a hint of sympathy.
The turtle is here again.
[Grandpa Turtle is in a good mood today, so he's brought out his parkour combo again.]
The love potion was probably terrified out of its wits, as if chased by a ghost, wanting to circle Liu Taiqing's entire body three times over.
Only those with unwavering resolve can endure the rampage of the Gu worms.
[Having suffered setbacks in both his career and love life, it's uncertain whether Liu Taiqing can weather the storm.]
Liu Taiqing's eyes were bloodshot and he was in unbearable pain. He roared, grabbed the short knife on the ground, and slashed himself several times.
"This county can't take it anymore...This county can't take it anymore!"
Blood gushed out immediately.
But he seemed completely unaware, and instead felt that his blood vessels were not so swollen, and a strange smile appeared on his face.
His subordinates were stunned.
The love potion, having encountered obstacles, became somewhat dissatisfied, and its power intensified.
Liu Taiqing dropped his dagger, was covered in blood, and staggered toward the cliff.
"Die for love...die for love..."
He murmured to himself, his eyes seemingly unfocused.
The Moon Shadow Guards subdued Liu Taiqing's men, leaving him to fend for himself.
Liu Taiqing walked to the edge of the cliff, smiled, and jumped off the cliff.
*
Wu Muyou sat in the empty military camp with a dark and gloomy face.
That Hu Lieyunxiao is a complete idiot! He didn't even give a heads-up before leading his army into Haimu City.
Now look what's happened! Not only was the entire army wiped out, but they also lost their own lives!
"Great Wizard! Something terrible has happened!"
A soldier rushed into the tent from outside the door.
These are the private soldiers of the Wu family.
He specially transferred them from the capital to secure the mineral veins of Mengshan.
"What other bad news?" Wu Muyou slammed his scepter down and asked with a sour face.
The soldier knelt down in panic, "Great Wizard, there are no mineral veins at all in Mount Gumeng! We've been tricked by that Regent! Now all our men are trapped in the cave!"
"What did you say?!"
A crack appeared in Wu Muyou's usually calm eyes, and he suddenly tightened his grip on the scepter.
But before the bad news was over, the soldier continued, "Just now, someone outside the gate brought a message saying that the young master has captured Zhai Rongyu and is now on his way to the capital!"
Wu Muyou almost lost his grip on the scepter this time.
Unexpectedly, Wu Muli has such ability to capture her!
No, if he really takes Zhai Rongyu back to the palace, then the position of head of the Wu family...
Wu Muyou narrowed his brown eyes.
He has been plotting for so many years to get to his current position. In terms of reputation and ability, how can Wu Muli compare?
However, the Emperor used this as a test, making a final decision and rendering all his years of hard work futile.
He absolutely cannot stand by and watch this happen!
Wu Muli stared intently at the spirit snake and ordered, "Investigate! I need to know which path Wu Muli took."
We must abduct him before Wu Muli returns to the capital!
……
Zhai Rongyu sat in the prison cart, fiddling with the chains binding her body with great interest.
She grabbed the iron frame of the prison cart and approached Jun Ce, who was driving it.
He now has the appearance of an ordinary man, his strong body wrapped in coarse linen clothes. Although he has lost some of his usual air of nobility, his aura as someone who has long held a high position is still not to be ignored, which gives his ordinary appearance a unique flavor.
Zhai Rongyu glanced at him sideways, her eyebrows curving into a low chuckle.
[Even with disguise, Ah Xu is still so handsome!]
Jun Ce gripped the reins, his body stiffening almost imperceptibly, his brows furrowing as he suppressed a smile.
He glanced at her, as if warning her not to talk to him.
Zhai Rong stuck out her tongue and sat back down cross-legged in her original position.
Okay, okay, I'll pretend I don't know you.
The chains rattled with her movements.
Zhai Rong rested her chin on one hand, while the index finger of her other hand idly fiddled with the chains binding her body.
When the sunlight shines on it, the chains emit a faint silver light, and if you look closely, you can even see a fleeting incantation.
The Wu family does indeed have some resources.
I never imagined I would see such a fine Netherworld Lock in my lifetime.
She had learned in her artifact class that the Netherworld Lock was specifically designed to deal with powerful mountain spirits; the higher the magical power, the stronger the restraint.
If one tries to break free, the talisman on it will release its seal and suppress the beast spirit.
If she were just an ordinary mortal, it wouldn't matter, but she is a soul from another world who has taken over someone else's body.
These chains are not something you can easily break free of.
Wu Muli looked back at her from his horse and saw her fiddling with the chains. He chuckled and said, "Witch, I advise you not to even think about escaping."
"Once this Netherworld Lock unleashes its power, it will be more than you can handle!"
Zhai Rongyu looked up and shrugged indifferently.
Why would she even think of running away?
She deliberately landed right in front of him so he could catch her.
On the grass not far away, the figure of a spirit snake appeared and disappeared. Zhai Rongyu's eyes flashed, and she deliberately struck up a conversation with Wu Muli: "Since you have such a powerful magic weapon, you must be highly valued in the Wu family, right?"
"I wonder who is more powerful, you or Wu Muyou?"
Wu Muli gave her a disapproving look.
Before he could speak, the servant beside him exclaimed, "Our young master is the legitimate son of the current head of the family, and has been close to the royal family since childhood! That Wu Muyou is just from the second branch of the family, how can he be compared to our young master?"
"But I've heard that Wu Muyou is the only candidate to become the next head of the family?"
Zhai Rong glanced at the spirit snake hidden in the grass.
She deliberately chose to be captured by Wu Muli, gambling on Wu Muyou's unwillingness to accept defeat.
