Chapter 49 Find the trace

Luo Jin felt she was the one who found it the hardest to accept, okay?

Was the person in front of her the same person as she met before? Was there any similarity?

The person by Shui Yingchen’s side spoke again: "Oh right, I haven't introduced myself yet. I am Wei Yu's elder brother. My name is Wei Shuang. I am his Majesty's personal attendant. Wei Shuang and another general went to investigate the secret agents of Hanyuan and then disappeared. His Majesty and I are here to find them."

Wei Yu asked: "Do you know who plotted against his Majesty? His Majesty's martial arts are invincible in the world. Unless someone petty plots against him, he can't be hurt."

Wei Shuang said: "It is He Xiao."

When this was said, everyone was shocked.

Jie Gui immediately said: "Impossible! He Xiao had only been back for a short time. He had been at the border of Xiyuan before. It is impossible for him to come here to plot against his majesty."

Wei Shuang frowned, "His Majesty's wound was caused by the vicious Blue Bird and it hasn’t healed yet. I heard that this dagger is in He Xiao's hands. If it’s not him, who else could it be?"

Jie Gui: "..."

He tried not to look at Luo Jin.

Luo Jin silently pushed the dagger into her sleeve.

Forget it, let He Xiao take the blame first. Anyway, he wasn't here and no fight could break out.

Shui Yingchen waved his hand, "It doesn't matter. Just a little blood. I have a lot of blood and am not afraid."

Luo Jin: "..."

Wei Yu said: "Your Majesty should be careful. Don't let the wound open again..."

Shui Yingchen was slightly stunned before reacting, "Calling me? I am still a little unaccustomed. Aren't we gathering to attack the tyrant? How come I suddenly become the emperor? I am still used to you calling me Elder Brother Chen."

Wei Yu: "...I dare not."

Luo Jin didn't know what kind of mood she was in. If this was Shui Yingchen ten years ago, what kind of change would make such a person become such a pervert?

She suddenly remembered what the emperor had told her before, that Shui Yingchen killed his father with his own hands. And most of the time, he was in the dark. When he found out that the man was his father afterwards, don’t know what kind of strong stimulation he had.

Was it because of this incident that things became like that later?

Shui Yingchen suddenly asked: "How is the tyrant? Is he dead? Who killed him?"

Wei Yu hesitated and avoided the topic, "Let's not talk about this first. Old Sixth Qin is still in the hands of those people. How about we cooperate with the Shangshu of Dongyuan?"

Shui Yingchen nodded, "He saved you, so I am naturally willing to cooperate with him. Since we are working together, we are all brothers. Don't worry, Shangshu, I will protect you."

He suddenly smiled in delight, "I woke up and reached the ninth level. This isn't bad. Do you know? In my memory, I just broke through the ninth level yesterday, I have reached the upper ninth level today. What a wonderful feeling. "

Jie Gui then interrupted, "I am Jie Gui, Your Majesty, call me by my name. I didn't expect that the Emperor has such a cheerful personality. Quite different from the rumor. "

Shui Yingchen asked curiously: "What am I like in the rumor?"

"Uh..." Jie Gui pondered how to phrase it for a long time, "The rumor says that your Majesty is majestic and stern. It isn't possible for a minor person like me to get close."

Shui Yingchen grinned and patted Jie Gui on the shoulder, "Brother Jie, you are joking. How could I possibly become that kind of person?"

Luo Jin: "..."

He did become that kind of person.

The dog barked a few times and ran to the front happily.

Jie Gui said: "There are clues ahead, Your Majesty, why don't we go and take a look together?"

"Call me Elder Brother Chen." Shui Yingchen seriously stated.

"Okay… Elder Brother Chen." Jie Gui said.

Shui Yingchen laughed and ran to the front with the dog.

Luo Jin didn't know how to react, but now Shui Yingchen had the same goal as her. He was skilled in martial arts and could help at a critical moment.

She had never thought that Shui Yingchen could help her.

Jiang Mo looked at Luo Jin, then at Shui Yingchen, and shook his head faintly.

Luo Jin smiled and nodded, whispering, "It's okay, there's no fighting."

The dog ran for a while and led everyone to the entrance of a cave.

Shui Yingchen patted the dog, "What a good dog! Such a smart dog."

Entering the cave, Jie Gui found many anomalies along the way.

"There are footprints here," Jie Gui looked down, "There are fallen food over there. People are living here. Everyone, be careful."

There was a faint light of fire in the depths of the cave in front. Shui Yingchen stopped, bent down, picked up the dog, waved to the people behind him, and signaled them to walk along the wall.

He walked forward slowly, and suddenly flew out. What he did couldn’t be seen. When Luo Jin caught up, she saw two strong men guarding the gate lying on the ground motionless.

He continued forward. An anxious cry came from inside, "Wha..."

Before he finished a word, there was no sound.

Even Jie Gui was stunned and whispered: "The Emperor is too strong. These guards are on duty every ten steps. A few dozen people can't even alert one person in time. This speed and strength... He is worthy of being the fastest man in Jiuyuan Continent."

Shui Yingchen led the way alone. Everyone followed carefully behind. Wherever he went, it seemed like he had entered an uninhabited place. All the guards fell to the ground before they could even hum a warning. Even the weapons were carefully taken away by Shui Yingchen to prevent the sound of the weapons falling to the ground.

He even held a dog in one arm.

The whole stone cave was silent without any sound, as if no one had been there at all.

When he reached the front, the dog suddenly got excited and was about to open his mouth, but Shui Yingchen grabbed his mouth and made a gesture to silence him.

The dog seemed to understand and stopped barking. He jumped out of Shui Yingchen's arms and wagged his tail in front.

Inside was a dark space. Soft sobbing could faintly be heard.

The guard at the door had been knocked down. Jie Gui took a torch from the wall and walked into the dark space.

Under the light of the fire, Jie Gui made a gesture for silence to everyone and whispered, "I'm here to save you."  

Luo Jin saw that there were numerous small cages here, similar to the cages in the pawnshop, but there were more cages here. Hundreds of children were locked up here. She looked up at Jie Gui with doubts in his eyes.

This was until a low voice sounded, "This is the Shangshu Official. He is here to save us. Didn't I tell you, he will definitely come to save us."

Luo Jin was delighted, "Little Xiaoyu?"

Little Xiaoyu was half-kneeling in a cage in the corner, he grabbed the cage, "Official, it's me."

Shui Yingchen walked to the cage without saying a word, stretched out his hand and casually broke the thumb-thick chain on the outside, as if it was a noodle.

The child in the cage climbed out hesitantly, shrinking and not daring to move forward.

Jie Gui whispered: "I brought the city guards, not far from here. Everyone, go out quietly later. Don't alarm the people inside. Once we meet up with the city guards, they will protect you. Don't make a sound, understand?"

The children nodded obediently. More than a hundred children in the whole space and no one made a sound.

Jie Gui led the way in front and let the children follow him. As they were moving, Shui Yingchen suddenly flew backwards. Luo Jin turned around and saw that he had discovered a guard who suddenly appeared and took action to deal with him before he could shout.

He stood there and watched Jie Gui and the children walk farther and farther away. Then he whispered: "Okay, we are going to go in and find Old Sixth now...that female official from Dongyuan. It's dangerous inside, you should stay outside."

Wei Yu said: "Official Luo, don't go too far. My Old Sixth had also been poisoned by a Gu. He probably doesn't recognize people like I did before. We will catch him and come to you to cure the Gu later. Or if you are afraid, go to the government office and wait. We can also go to the government office to find you."

Luo Jin shook her head: "I will go with you."

The fact that she had the Red Emperor Gu in her body couldn’t be hidden. Now she had the ability to protect herself and wasn't worried about others knowing.

Anyway, Shui Yingchen saved those dwarf slaves. she couldn't pretend that this didn't happen. She didn't like to owe others anything, so helping him save his men was a way of repaying a favor.

Shui Yingchen looked back at her, "You are brave. Do you know how dangerous it is?"

Jiang Mo held the sword, looked at Luo Jin, and whispered: "I can protect her."

"That's good. Come and advance with me!" Shui Yingchen looked back and saw the dog was still beside him, "You go find that Shangshu. Don't follow me, it's dangerous inside."

It was unknown if the dog understood. It turned around and ran out.

Luo Jin was stunned: "I wanted to ask since now, your Majesty... can talk to dogs?"

Wei Yu shrugged, "He likes to raise small animals back then."

"Back then? Later..."

"Later he stopped raising them."

The fire in front became brighter and brighter as they entered the depths of the stone cave.

There was a group sitting and talking inside. When they saw the stranger who suddenly broke in, they all stood up and drew their swords, "Who is it?"

Shui Yingchen looked at the people, "No Old Sixth..."

The next second, the people all fell to the ground and didn’t move.

Luo Jin saw it clearly this time. She looked at Jiang Mo and saw that there was obvious shock in his eyes.

"These people seem to be eighth-level." Jiang Mo said, "They fell too quickly, so I can't be sure."

In the end, these people made a sound and there was a commotion inside.

Long Ying brought a few people out. When she saw Luo Jin, she was slightly startled, "Why did you come here? Did you think that bringing a ninth-level, you can..."

She glanced at Wei Yu again, "You...how did you..."

Suddenly, she sneered, "So the Red Emperor Gu is on you. Since you are here...why not leave the Red Emperor Gu!"

She flew up and swung her sword straight at Luo Jin. The people around her also attacked Jiang Mo at the same time, making it impossible for him to take care of Luo Jin.

Luo Jin stood in place. Suddenly a figure flew in front of her, with a cold light flashing and retracting in an instant.

Long Ying looked down at the blood hole in her chest and then at Shui Yingchen in disbelief.

Shui Yingchen held a long sword. Blood was still dripping from the tip of the sword.

"I haven't used a sword for a long time," he waved the sword lightly. The blood on the tip of the sword quickly slid off and the sword body became clean, "Ninth level?"

Long Ying uttered slowly: "Yu...Chen...Sword...Emperor..."

Out of strength, she slid down and fell to the ground motionless.
