Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: Each Has a Point in His Own Argument_1 Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: Each Has a Point in His Own Argument_1 It turned out that Qinglian still hadn’t given up and, while he was engaged in conversation with Qingye, attempted to launch a surprise attack on Ailiusa.
His martial arts had not changed, but his hearing, vision, and lightness skills had been improving more and more.
Although he didn’t turn his head, and had no eyes on the back of his head, he heard the disturbance caused by Qinglian’s stealth attack clearly.
Tossing out the dagger, he retracted the whip in his hand and said with an impassive face, “Prince, this is Daqi’s territory.”
Qingye’s face wore an embarrassed smile, but inside he was shocked beyond measure.
This level of kung fu and it’s only considered average?
How terrifying the true masters must be.
He turned his head and scolded Qinglian before turning back to Tongsanlang, “My sister is just eager for revenge. Please don’t take it personally, Young Master Tong.”
Seeing that Tongsanlang’s expression hadn’t changed, still stern, Qingye added, “Young Master Tong might not be aware, but the God Catfish is the most precious divine object in Yuchi Country. It grows a foot long, has delicious flesh, and possesses Divine Power that accelerates wound healing. There are only a hundred of them in the entire Yuchi Lake.”
“Some time ago, the chief of the Divine Tree Tribe was injured, and it was said to be quite serious, but he recovered very quickly. Just at that time, one of our God Catfish from Yuchi went missing. Young Master Tong, tell me, isn’t it the people from his Divine Tree Tribe who stole it?”
Ailiusa, riding a horse at a walking pace behind Tongsanlang and Qingye, became agitated upon hearing this, “My father’s injury was not that serious to begin with, so of course he recovered quickly. He deliberately spread the news about his severe injury to confuse the enemy, to find out who tried to assassinate him.”
“Our God Catfish from Yuchi missing has nothing to do with my Divine Tree Tribe!”
“Our God Catfish is missing and your father recovers from his injury; how can there be such a coincidence in this world of aristocratic families?” Qingye said indifferently.
“It definitely wasn’t stolen by people from my Divine Tree Tribe!” Ailiusa’s complexion grew even more agitated, an abnormal blush appearing on her pale face.
Tongsanlang couldn’t help but interject, “If you have anything to say, say it in front of His Majesty the Emperor. Telling me is useless; I’m not in charge.”
Upon hearing this, Qingye’s eyes rolled, and he swiftly changed the subject, “Young Master Tong, the ninetieth birthday of our retired emperor is coming up. We siblings have come not only to pursue Ailiusa but also brought gifts to offer birthday wishes to the retired emperor. The entourage with the gifts will arrive in three days.”
Tongsanlang responded in a lukewarm tone.
He actually didn’t want to know these things. He was just responsible for maintaining public security; telling him was pointless.
During the journey to the palace, Qingye incessantly asked questions. Upon arriving at the palace, he asked a physician to bandage Ailiusa and settled Qingye and Qinglian brother and sister comfortably before reporting the matter to Emperor Yongan himself.
Emperor Yongan also found the news headache-inducing.
“Let them rest for two days, and then come to the palace the day after tomorrow,” he said.
He had spies planted among the various vassal states; with each side declaring their own justifications, he needed to inquire with his spies for more information.
Tongsanlang acknowledged the command and, after leaving the Palace, he conveyed Emperor Yongan’s order to the three individuals before returning to the city gate to continue his duties until the gates closed for the evening, at which point he returned to Da’an Palace.
In Da’an Palace, Yang Wenxiao hadn’t yet rested and was pulling Qiao Xiaomai into a game of Fight the Landlord.
Upon learning of his return, Yang Wenxiao specially called Tongsanlang over to inquire about the situation.
The matter involved two vassal states, and Emperor Yongan had already briefed him. Since Tongsanlang had had the most contact with the three that day, Yang Wenxiao sought out Tongsanlang for a detailed account of the situation.
