Chapter 127: Hijacking (2)

  "Sir, I have no choice either. His Majesty has been inside and hasn't come out. I've already reported it to him, but he didn't respond!" The reporter said somewhat anxiously.

  "What is he doing? Hurry up and open the door, I want to go in and take a look!!" The man said, thinking that the servant in front of him did not dare to open this door.

  "Sir, you don't know this, but after the door is closed, it can only be opened from the inside. His Majesty doesn't want to open it now, and we have no way to do so!!"

  In fact, the person who made the announcement was anxious because the king had been unwilling to open this door for a long time and didn't even want to respond.

  "King Gao Fei, what's going on? We have important things to attend to right now! Everyone is waiting outside!!" Can't open it, so I can only shout loudly.

  "Useless adults, your shouting is useless. This room is soundproofed and the only way to let people inside know something is by ringing the bell. But His Majesty has cut off all contact, he doesn't want to talk to us!" The servant explained again.

  "...The adult frowned, "At this time, what is he hiding in there for? Do you know?"

  "This... " The person below murmured and muttered, seemingly having something inconvenient to say.

  "What is it that you want? Speak quickly, there's no time to waste here!" The man said in a deep voice, sternly reprimanding.

  Can't handle that perverted Ye Gongzi, can I still not handle a servant like you?

  "This...". The person below was still hesitating, as if it was hard for him to say this.

  "Speak quickly!!" The adult shouted.

  "I really don't know how to put it, but here's what happened: two days ago, when Your Majesty went out, you brought someone back with you. Since then, they've been inside and instructed that no matter how big the issue is, they cannot be disturbed. And yet, they still haven't come out, not even for meals!" The servant began to recount.

  "Are they still inside? Aren't you afraid of something happening, that the person has already escaped?" The adult asked.

  "It won't work, there's only one exit here and Your Majesty has also taken protective measures inside, so no one will have the opportunity to succeed." The servant explained, "This isn't even the first time Your Majesty has done this, in the past he has even gone seven days and seven nights without coming out."

  Oh, so it's not the first time, no wonder they're so at ease. If it weren't for the pressing matter, they probably wouldn't even care what the king is doing.

  But what is the king doing inside?

  "What is your king doing in there? This isn't the first time, which means you should know what's going on!" The big man frowned.

  Before this, the people below still haven't said the crucial thing, that is what exactly the king and that person were doing inside, which actually made the king neglect official duties and ignore the country's future!

  "...the king...they are gambling!!"

  "Oh, gambling... what?! Is he really gambling?! He's neglecting his duties just to gamble?!" The grown-up exclaimed in surprise, but soon calmed down.

  It's just that, among the thirteen allied countries, everyone seems to have heard that the high-flying king of Daguo is a gambler, and a very crazy gambler at that. However, his gambling skills are also very impressive, so not many people dare to gamble with him.

  However, although I knew he was a gambler, I never thought that he would actually gamble on this matter, regardless of the country's prosperity or decline, and still want to close the door and gamble with others at this critical moment.

  "Yes! So, we have no way out now. We can only guess that Your Majesty is addicted to gambling, and once he's addicted, it's hard to know when he'll come out, maybe soon or maybe after a few days!" The servant said helplessly.

  The big man was silent for a moment, then asked: "Is there any other way to open this door, even if it's broken?"

  "It can be done, but it will take a few days. This room is specially reinforced and has the defense of an alchemy formation. Even if we find an alchemist to open it, it will still take several days to find a way to break through!" The servant said.

  "A few days later, people can't even wait for a moment!" The big man frowned, "Do you know who that person is, the one who gambled with your king?"

  "This, we don't know either, only that it's a young man, a very strange young man, whom Your Majesty met on the street. Later, he was invited by Your Majesty to come here and gamble. The specific situation, we also don't know." The servant shook his head as he spoke, and when he said "invited", his tone was particularly heavy.

  It's obvious that this strange boy was reluctantly invited!

  "What should I do now..." The big man said with a worried tone, and after a while, he gritted his teeth and went out!

  He has decided to blame the failure of this matter entirely on King Gao Fei, at least so that they can shirk off the responsibility for not completing the task.

  It's not asking for achievements now, but just no mistakes!!

  "Sorry, Ye Shuai, it's really sorry, King Gao Fei is temporarily unable to come out, can only say sorry!" The big man said apologetically.

  "It's all right, let's take our leave first!" Ye Chengtian cupped his hands and bid farewell. At this time, there was no need to stay here, they were all people with status and reputation, and it wasn't like they had any business to attend to.

  "Goodbye!" said Qi Ge and others in unison, preparing to leave.

  And just at this moment, something happened that made them stop in their tracks...

  "Let him go, or I'll let you know the taste of freezing!!" Ye Lan Yu's voice entered everyone's ears, making everyone look at Ye Lan Yu's direction with tension and start forming a defensive formation.

  Because they, Ye Lanyu, have called for the release of those who were detained, it means that some people among them might have been arrested, and it is possible that these people have fallen into a trap.

  These thirteen nations' people may be very bold, and it's unfavorable for them!

  However, Ye Chengtian and others soon discovered that the representatives of the thirteen allied countries who were with them were all surprised by this matter, completely unaware.

  Is it that they are hiding from their own people, or is this none of their business?

  The answer will be revealed soon...

  Everyone saw a woman in leather armor, holding Zhen Xiaoyan hostage and retreating towards them. Ye Lanyu and Seventh Princess were closely following behind her, with Ye Yi and others trailing behind them.

  "Warrior?" Looking at the woman's leather armor, it was the kind that warriors often wore, which had a certain protective effect while not affecting any movement of the body.

  And most of these are mercenaries and ordinary family members who wear them because, apart from the above characteristics, this type of leather armor has another crucial advantage - it's cheap and cost-effective!
