Chapter 169: I told you to catch someone to blame, but why did you bring home the real culprit?
Chapter 169: I told you to catch someone to blame, but why did you bring home the real culprit?
Looking at the murderous appearance of the soldiers around him, Shenxiu’s face was a little ugly.
He had just boasted, but in the blink of an eye, he was in trouble.
Isn’t this a slap in his own face?
When he saw the strong man in golden armor who was leading, his pupils couldn’t help but shrink slightly.
“Distracted?”
The aura emanating from this strong man was so strong that even as a practitioner of the Perfect Stage of Nascent Soul Realm he was unable to see through it.
At the very least, that strong man should be in the Incarnated God Realm!
The two had just arrived in the desert, how could they attract this group of people?
Shenxiu asked, “Who are you and why are you blocking our way?”
Kulbanhan crossed his arms and said proudly, “I’m the general of the Wild Wolf Army of Mochen Kingdom, and I’ve been ordered to capture the murderer of our second prince!”
“Mochen Kingdom?”
Su Shi’s eyebrows shot up.
Finally, he understood what was going on.
Shenxiu frowned, “What does this have to do with us?”
Kulbanhan grinned, “This general sees that you are cunning and similar to the wanted assassin.”
Shenxiu said coldly, “Do you know who you’re talking to? We are-“
Kulban interrupted impatiently, “No matter who you are, this general now gives you two choices.”
“Now, be a good boy and come back with me for investigation, or else you must die here!”
Clank!
The soldiers drew their swords and formed a closed circle, blocking almost all of the two men’s path.
It was not easy for them to find two people who met the requirements, they must not be released!
Shenxiu’s face changed.
The other party’s attitude is obviously unreasonable.
He swept his gaze around and sent out his voice, “Shengzi, the situation isn’t right! I’ll find a way to contain them in a moment, so you go out and fly straight towards Youzhou!”
In the face of an Incarnated God Realm’s powerhouse, Shenxiu had absolutely no fear in his heart.
But no matter what, nothing must happen to Shengzi!
“Don’t be too impulsive.”
Su Shi stopped him.
He looked at Kulbanhan, “Isn’t this just for investigation? Lead the way.”
“Shengzi?”
Shenxiu froze.
The other party clearly has bad intentions, of course it’s not as simple as an investigation!
Su Shi looked calm and his eyes were deep.
The path to get there had been blocked, and in the face of the great power in the Incarnated God Realm, even if he had the Divine Pearl in his hands, there was no guarantee that the two could escape safely.
Instead of fighting to the death, it would be better to take advantage of the situation.
Let’s see what the other party does.
Kulbanhan smiled and said, “Smart guy, let’s go.”
The soldier tried to shackle them, but Shenxiu stepped in front of Su Shi and scolded him with a sunken brow, “Get lost!”
The soldier hesitated for a moment.
Kulbanhan waved his hand and said, “No problem.”
The two could not escape.
Whether they were guilty or not, there was nothing left for them but to die.
“Hmph, let’s see how long you can still be arrogant.”
Kulbanhan looked arrogant.
The soldiers surrounded the two men and flew towards the oasis.
Mochen Kingdom.
In the center of the royal palace.
Damour looked at the petite blonde girl in front of him with a friendly and welcoming smile, “Princess Alia, you have come all the way to my Mochen Kingdom, I wonder what your business is?”
The young girl in front of him was the princess of Saxin Kingdom.
Mochen Kingdom was on the outskirts, while Saxin Kingdom was a powerful land located in the center of the oasis!
Both were incomparable in terms of power and status.
Alia blinked her emerald green eyes and her voice was clear, “I heard that Prince Mu Khar was killed, I wonder if the killer has been caught?”
Damour’s brows furrowed slightly.
The two kingdoms had never met, so why was the other party suddenly worried about this?
And the princess is here personally.
Damour cleared his throat and nodded, “The killer has been identified and will be arrested soon.”
Alia’s eyes flickered as she pursued the question, “My court is curious, I wonder who the murderer is that he dared to attack the prince?”
“This is ……”
Damour looked a little embarrassed.
The person to blame hadn’t been arrested yet, how did he know who the murderer was?
He couldn’t say it was Su Shi, could he?
“Cough cough, Guo Shi is in charge of this matter, and we should get the results in the next two days.”
Damour said stammeringly and gave Guo Shi a sharp look.
No, it was just looking for a scapegoat, it was surprising that it could drag on for so long, causing him to lose face in front of the princess of the Saxin Kingdom.
Guo Shi also had a secret hatred in his heart.
Kulbanhan’s efficiency was too low!
At this moment, the guards outside the hall entered, “Your Majesty, General Kulbanhan has come to report.”
“Oh? General Kulbanhan has returned?”
Damour’s expression lifted, “Send him in quickly.”
The burly man in golden armor walked into the hall and knelt on one knee, “I, General Kulbanhan, present myself to Your Majesty.”
Damour asked urgently, “Has the killer been captured?”
Kulbanhan nodded, “Fortunately, two desert bandits were captured alive, the real culprits who killed the Prince and the General!”
Damour breathed a sigh of relief and nodded in satisfaction, “Very good.”
He glanced at Alia and said, “Bring the prisoners straight up! How dare they plot against the Prince, I will interrogate them myself!”
It was just in time to boast of Mochen Kingdom’s strength while the princess of Saxin Kingdom was here!
“Yes.”
Kulbanhan turned around and said, “Bring them here.”
A few moments later.
Surrounded by a crowd of guards, two figures slowly walked in and stood in the center of the main hall.
Seeing the man in white between them, Guo Shi and Alia froze in unison.
“This is ……”
“How could you bring him here?!”
Kulbanhan said ambitiously, “Your Majesty, this is the real culprit who killed the Second Prince!”
Bang!
Damour slammed the armrest and said in a stern voice, “Filthy bastard, do you know the crime you have-“
“Ahem.”
Guo Shi interrupted in the middle of his sentence, “Your Majesty, please calm down first, it seems that they caught innocent people.”
Damour frowned, “What are you saying?”
It was just a scapegoat, what did it matter if they were innocent or not?
Kulbanhan frowned, “Guo Shi, you should look carefully, do you know how much effort I have put in to catch this murderer?”
Guo Shi laughed bitterly, “But the problem is that you guys have caught innocent people.”
Damour said coldly, “Is Guo Shi confused?”
In front of Royal Princess Saxin, the other party had twice and thrice broken the stage, which had made him truly angry.
Guo Shi knelt down with a thud, “It doesn’t matter who the murderer is, but it can’t be this person.”
Damour realized that something was wrong, “What do you mean by that?”
Guo Shi hesitated for a long time and sighed, “Because he is Su Shi.”
Damour froze, “You said he is ……”
Guo Shi bowed his head low and said helplessly, “The prisoner that General Kulbanhan captured is the Duke of Linlang Empire, the Shengzi of Demonic path, Su Shi!”
The hall was instantly silent.
Damour’s mouth opened as he stared at Qurban in disbelief.
I let you catch a scapegoat, but you brought back the real culprit?!
