Chapter 1346 - Chapter 1346 Chapter 1145 I Want to Find Him_1
Chapter 1346: Chapter 1145: I Want to Find Him_1 Chapter 1346: Chapter 1145: I Want to Find Him_1 “The Imperial Guards’ target is too big, but you could request the retired emperor to dispatch the Divine Crossbow Team for support. The Divine Crossbow Team moves unseen, like spirits; they can fully coordinate with your actions,” the Shopkeeper Hong advised earnestly.
“You can’t just worry about your wife, you also have young Xiaomai. Considering how long the enemy has been planning, they must have laid out a net overhead and a trap underneath. You must preserve your own life first!”
“Then you go and seek instruction from the retired emperor. I must leave immediately. The enemy sent an unrelated little girl to deliver the message, which shows they’re disguised as commoners, lurking around Jiwei Residence. If I don’t leave now, they’re likely to move my mother,” Tong Sanlang said.
Hearing this, Shopkeeper Hong sighed, “Alright, I will enter the Palace myself.”
A quarter of an hour later, Tong Sanlang was on his way, mounted on a fine horse with his pack. Dingzhou’s Cloud Lake was a three-day journey from Capital City, and he would have to travel day and night without stopping.
After Tong Sanlang left, Shopkeeper Hong personally went to the Palace to find Yang Wenxiao and Qiao Xiaomai.
Given his status, he would ordinarily not be allowed to enter the Palace so freely, but the circumstances were urgent. Once he explained his identity, he was immediately taken to Da’an Palace.
Inside Da’an Palace, Qiao Xiaomai and Yang Wenxiao had already received a message from a guard a step ahead.
Qiao Xiaomai had never expected that right after she returned to the Palace, Tong Sanlang would receive a message, and that he’d be heading to a remote location no less. Without hesitation, she immediately implored Yang Wenxiao, “I’m going too, please send someone to take me there!”
Yang Wenxiao refused without a second thought, “Your presence would only cause chaos.”
“You could send more men with me, I can be the support he needs.”
“No, it’s not just Sanlang the enemy is after, but you as well. Da’an Palace is the safest place. I will dispatch others to aid him right away.”
When Shopkeeper Hong arrived, Qiao Xiaomai and Yang Wenxiao were at a stalemate.
“Shopkeeper Hong, do you have anything to say?” Qiao Xiaomai, seeing Shopkeeper Hong, immediately rushed over with excitement.
“Sanlang has already left. He hopes the retired emperor will dispatch the Divine Crossbow Team to assist him,” Shopkeeper Hong said, looking towards Yang Wenxiao.
Yang Wenxiao nodded, “It can be done.”
“I’m going too!” Qiao Xiaomai immediately raised her hand.
“No,” Yang Wenxiao flatly rejected her again and called to Gao Lian, instructing him to notify the Divine Crossbow Team.
Each member of the Divine Crossbow Team was highly skilled. Although setting out now they wouldn’t catch up to Tong Sanlang, they wouldn’t fall too far behind either.
“You don’t know martial arts, hitting the road with the Divine Crossbow Team would only be a hindrance,” Yang Wenxiao decisively disagreed with Qiao Xiaomai’s departure.
“But I want to go to him!” Qiao Xiaomai said, stomping her foot anxiously.
“You need to trust him.”
“I can’t trust. He’s only human, how can he overcome the enemy’s overwhelming trap?” As she spoke, tears involuntarily filled her eyes. She regretted coming back to the Palace!
She might not know martial arts, but she had bombs in her space!
She could use them as a secret weapon to catch the enemy off guard!
“If it’s a problem he can’t solve, you going there would only add to the chaos,” Yang Wenxiao still shook his head.
“Even if it means death, I want to die with him,” Qiao Xiaomai said, pursing her lips tightly, and began to walk out, “If you won’t send someone, then I’ll go by myself.”
“Hey, you stop right there!” Seeing this, Yang Wenxiao became anxious, “With Sanlang outside, I have a responsibility to ensure your safety. The enemy could be hiding anywhere; if you get captured as well, how could I explain it to Sanlang? Ren Zhong, stop her!”
Ren Zhong was just outside the hall. Hearing the order, he immediately stepped forward.
He had witnessed Qiao Xiaomai’s brute strength before and was prepared, but she still pushed him aside with one move.
Qiao Xiaomai’s eyes fixed ahead, her tone firmer than it had ever been, “I’m going to find him.”
