“Oh yeah?” Prime Minister Chu cared about what Gu Chaoyan said. He believed that she said that for a reason and she would like to hear her story.
Gu Chaoyan had a very complicated expression on her face. The reason why she said no was because she had drugged this man. When she first caught him, he tried to kill himself by biting off his own tongue, but Gu Chaoyan would never allow this to happen, so she injected a needle into him, so he became too paralyzed to do anything.
However, the drug was only going to last for a couple of hours and would fade soon. She had no such drug with her, and so she had to transport him back to the capital.
It depended on the King whether he was going to live or not, but Gu Chaoyan believed that the King was going to allow him to stay alive.
However, Gu Chaoyan was not going to tell Prime Minister Chu the real reason.
She could use this drug that stiffened his body, but she could never reveal the truth, otherwise she would complicate everything.
She thought for a while, then she said, “Because it is not safe.”
“…”
“The monsters we have caught are all his works, and he is able to control them. If they are transported back together, and he does some trick along the way, those things might help him and a disaster might occur. So, no, he can’t be transported back together with them.”
“…”
“Also, we need to tell the King what is going on. If we let him stay for another night, the King might have some suspicions. We can just transport him back to the King so that he can do whatever he wants about this man.”
Gu Chaoyan presented a very reasonable explanation.
Chu Tian thought for a while and remembered how the strategy that the King should be caught first among the thieves was true.
Those monsters were ferocious, but this man made this happen, so he was the culprit who should be given back to the King for further disposal.
As for the monsters at Li Village…
His deputy general could deal with the rest here, and there would not be too big a difference.
Elder Miss Gu was right.
Chu Tian nodded. “Let’s just follow Elder Miss’ suggestion. I will take this man back to the capital.”
Gu Chaoyan nodded and let out a sigh of relief.
It was good that Prime Minister Chu approved of her suggestion.
She looked up at the man. She truly did not like this tricky man. It took her a lot of effort to capture him.
The man was glaring at Gu Chaoyan as if he were going to take revenge on her.
Gu Chaoyan shrugged and ignored his look. Then she returned to her own tent for a break.
She could leave the rest for Prime Minister Chu to deal with. Gu Chaoyan trusted Prime Minister Chu for his abilities.
Gu Chaoyan laid down. She was very exhausted.
“Sword One, could you please pour me some tea?” Gu Chaoyan said as she was lying in bed.
“Okay!” Sword One set about to do that actively.
It was just water which the villagers boiled, with nothing inside, but the water helped to relieve her thirst.
Gu Chaoyan raised her hands for the teacup, but Sword One almost upset the cup as she exclaimed. “Elder Miss, your hand!”
Sword One saw that blood was all over Gu Chaoyan’s arm.
