Chapter 128 Coincidence (1)
This female warrior looks more like a mercenary.
Many of the strong men present had been mercenaries before, which was a common way to hone one's skills on this continent. As such, most warriors and mages had experience as mercenaries.
Since they are mercenaries, there is a problem. Logically speaking, these things should not be asked of mercenaries. Do you want to cover up the truth? Even if so, a top-level mercenary should be hired. How can such mercenaries deal with those people?
As for how Zhen Xiao Yan was caught, I believe everyone will understand that Zhen Xiao Yan is not good at fighting, nor can he use magic. Although he knows alchemy, his reaction to crisis is slow and it's easy for others to take advantage of him.
And this "palace", although called a palace, is just an ordinary castle mansion with many defensive loopholes!
No matter what, everyone wants to know what this female warrior wants to do and why she wants to capture Zhen Xiaoyan!
"Get out, all of you! Get out! Otherwise, I won't guarantee her safety!" The female warrior growled at Ye Lan Yu and the others, tightening the sword on Zhen Xiao Yan's neck, even a thread of blood could be seen.
"Miss, don't be in a hurry, just say what you want, I, Ye Chengtian, can guarantee it. As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you, as long as you let go of the girl in your hand!" Ye Chengtian said solemnly to the female martial artist.
Zhen Xiaoyan is the girl who has been following Ye Lang, advancing and retreating together. Even if it means facing the threat of becoming a wanted criminal of the empire, even if she knows she will be pursued by the empire, she still wants to stand on Ye Lang's side.
Such a girl, as Ye Lang's father, Ye Chengtian, can't help but protect her? He and Long Anqi are almost calling her daughter-in-law, treating her too well!
"Yeshuai, I believe you can guarantee it, but I still want to see the person before letting them go!!" The female warrior said calmly, seemingly not surprised by Ye Chengtian's existence and also knowing his identity.
If that's the case, then it indicates one thing: this female warrior probably didn't mistakenly capture Zhen Xiaoyan, but rather did so intentionally. She obtained their information and knew that Zhen Xiaoyan was an important person without martial arts abilities.
"Speak up, what's your purpose." Ye Chengtian furrowed his brow, sensing the problem in this and understanding that this female warrior might be targeting him and his people.
"My purpose is simple, I just want them to release the young master they took away!" The female warrior pointed at the group of people from the "palace".
"Big Young Master?"
At this time, everyone was stunned. Neither side understood what the female warrior said. At least at this moment, no one could understand.
Could it be that this female warrior came for her young master, but her young master was captured by the people here?
In that case, it's also feasible, as long as Ye Chengtian and his men can be mobilized, which would also achieve the goal, perhaps more effectively, so she took Zhen Xiaoyan hostage.
The current problem is, who is her young master, and why does the kingdom want to capture her young master?
Ye Chengtian and others looked at the people of the thirteen allied countries, from their confused eyes, they understood one thing, that is, they were not very clear about what was going on either.
"Is that the young master? Are you referring to that peculiar boy who was gambling with King Highfly inside?" At this moment, the big man who had entered earlier suddenly recalled this matter and connected the two events together.
"Gambling? Would the young master gamble?" The female warrior seemed puzzled, making one feel that she wasn't sure about the young man inside, or rather, she didn't understand her young master.
The two words "gambling" also gave Ye Chengtian and others a piece of information, that the reason why the king didn't see them was because he was gambling with someone else!!
They don't feel resentful about this, but rather resentful towards the king for putting them aside because of his gambling!
They just feel sad for this kingdom, having such a king who doesn't care about the future of the kingdom and instead indulges in gambling with others!!
Just thinking about it, a small kingdom like this doesn't have much of a future anyway...
"Doesn't the young master of your household know how to gamble? If not, then it's probably not him. He can stay in there with His Majesty for two days and two nights, so he must be a very skilled gambler!" The speaker was one of King Gao Fei's attendants, who were quite certain that the young man inside was an expert at gambling.
There are hardly a handful of people on this continent who can keep up with Highflyer the King for two days and two nights, possibly even fewer than ten fingers can count.
"I don't know if he will or not, I've never seen him gamble before. But as a prodigal son, he should know how to gamble, and someone who has squandered his family's fortune so thoroughly should be even more skilled at it." The female warrior said with some emotion.
"Prodigal son..."
These three words brought back memories for Ye Lan Yu and others, reminding them of Ye Lang, who was the most impressive among the prodigal sons, to the point where people almost forgot the original meaning of the term "prodigal son".
"Can you confirm that the young master of your household is indeed the youth inside? Actually, even if it were true, there wouldn't be a problem because when His Majesty gambles with others, he never makes things difficult for them. If anyone has difficulties, it's due to their own lack of skill!"
"So don't worry about his safety, you can let this lady go first."
"Let her go? Don't even think about it! How do I know you're not trying to trick me? I won't let Miss Zhen Xiaoyan go until I see him!" The female warrior didn't relax, still holding Zhen Xiaoyan hostage.
"You knew her name, which means my guess was correct. From the beginning, you had already set your sights on her, wanting to use us to put pressure on them. And yet, you know our identities and understand us so well, it seems you're not a simple character either!" The Seventh Princess gazed coldly at the female warrior.
"The... um..." The female warrior hesitated.
"I don't want to know who you are, it's none of my business! You tell them first, what kind of person your young master is and what characteristics he has!" The Seventh Princess only wanted to confirm whether the person inside was that young master or not, she just wanted to let Zhen Xiaoyan be safe.
"What kind of person is he? He's either a noble young master or a prodigal son, who likes to waste money on nothing and finds joy in spending more. For him, the more he spends, the happier he gets, and he'll never feel pain from spending too much." The female warrior said.
This person is getting more and more like someone else?
