564 The Truth That Year, The Fierce Asura (2)
The sack suddenly stopped moving.
Nangong Li gently stroked the sack, like touching a piece of jewelry he loved. “Don’t worry, I’ll be very gentle.” With that, he untied the sack, revealing a white-haired old man. “Ah!” The impact was too great, and Nangong Li fell to the ground in fear!
The old man looked calm on the surface, but he glanced at him excitedly in his heart. “You’re so young, yet you don’t learn well. You don’t even let an old man off.”
I’m indeed as elegant as before! The number one priest of the Ghost Clan was also the number one beautiful (ugly) man of the Ghost Clan!
Nangong Li held his rolling chest. At this moment, he felt as disgusted as if he had swallowed a hundred flies. What happened to the eldest young madam? Why did she become such an old man?
Thinking about how he had said such mushy words to an old man just now and even touched him with his hand, Nangong Li felt terrible!
“Ah, it’s you?” The old man recognized Nangong Li.
When Nangong Li heard this, he paused in vomiting. He paused and looked at him suspiciously. Just now, he was only concerned about being disgusted and did not carefully size up the other party. With this look, Nangong Li also recognized the old man. “The priest of the Ghost Clan?”
When Nangong Li found out from the servants that Yu Wan had a strange birthmark, he had suspected that Yu Wan was from the Ghost Clan.
In order to investigate the truth, Nangong Li went to the Ghost Clan. It was only when he went to the Ghost Clan that he found out that the bride who ran away was actually his aunt.
Back then, he had deliberately been injured and lay by the road, allowing a child of the Ghost Clan to save him. It had taken him more than a year to obtain the trust of that family before he was brought into the clan.
The first person he visited in the clan was the priest.
As the old man lay on the ground, he could already tell from the servants that this was the Queen Manor, and the one who had captured him was the only commandery prince in the manor.
The old man said viciously, “The first time I saw you, I felt that you were a piece of trash. So you’re really one. You brought Asura out, right?”
“That’s right, it’s me.” At this point, there was no need to hide it. Moreover, he had been captured from the Helian Manor. Even if his subordinates had caught the wrong person, it at least meant that this old man was with Yan Jiuchao and Yu Wan.
Nangong Li asked, “Forgive me for being stupid, but why did the priest of the Ghost Clan get involved with the people of the Great Zhou and the Divine General Manor of Nanzhao? Didn’t the Ghost King send you to capture the Eldest Princess? Why? Instead of capturing her, you started to work for her daughter and son-in-law?”
The old man ignored him.
Seeing the old man remain silent, Nangong Li narrowed his eyes slightly. “Could it be that… you’re also the ones who barged into the State Preceptor Hall at night? You’re actually helping Yan Jiuchao find the medicinal primer? Let me guess, you want to gain the trust of Yan Jiuchao and the little princess and then kidnap them to the Ghost Clan so that you can force the Eldest Princess to fall into your trap. If that’s the case, then we’re actually cooperating.”
The old man said, “I won’t work with you. Give up.”
Nangong Li smiled. “Aren’t you going to listen to my conditions?”
The old man closed his eyes in meditation.
Nangong Li smiled. “Alright, everyone has their own ambitions. I originally planned to do the Ghost Clan a favor, but the priest didn’t give me this chance, so I can only offend the priest. Since the priest is willing to find the medicinal primer for them, I believe they must respect the priest very much. If they find out that the priest is in my hands, I wonder if they will come and save you?”
The old man was indifferent.
“It’s useless to pretend to be calm.” Nangong Li sneered. “Guards!”
A guard pushed open the door and entered. “Your Highness.”
Nangong Li instructed, “Go to the Helian Manor and deliver a message. Tell those guys from the Ghost Clan that their priest is in my hands and ask them to exchange the little princess.”
“Yes!” The guard accepted the order and left.
The old man said, “They won’t exchange people for it. You can give up.”
Nangong Li smiled and said, “I know, but they’ll come to save you. How do you think I’ll deal with them?”
The old man: “…”
What a ruthless man!
Nangong Li smiled smugly and instructed, “Tie him to the woodshed!”
Another guard entered and tied the old man. Nangong Li’s mood had already calmed down a lot. Although he could not capture the little princess, as long as the priest was in his hands, she would come knocking on his door sooner or later.
Nangong Li summoned the guards and sacrificial soldiers and carefully instructed them. At this moment, the well-fed Asura returned to the manor.
Asura seemed to be in a good mood.
Nangong Li smiled and stopped him. “Why are you back so late? Are you hungry? I’ll get someone to prepare dinner for you.”
Asura burped.
Nangong Li : “…”
It was good that he had eaten. Nangong Li did not ask him where he had eaten. Asura did not like to talk to others, nor did he like to be interrogated. Usually, he would occasionally go out of the manor when he could not take it anymore. As long as he did not do anything too out of line, Nangong Li would not care much about him.
Nangong Li said, “By the way, someone might want to break into the Queen Manor tonight. Protect the manor and don’t let anyone in.”
Asura nodded and agreed readily. He was a trustworthy Asura. Even if his little friends came tonight, he would not let them in!
Nangong Li was relieved with Asura’s guarantee. He went to the Queen’s courtyard.
Asura returned to his courtyard. As he passed by the woodshed, Asura caught an unusual aura. He flashed over! He opened the door and saw an old thing with a bitter expression.
Aiyaya! Why was this ugly old man here!!! It was about to disgust him to death!
Asura grabbed him and threw him out of the Queen Manor. He only said that he couldn’t let them in, but he didn’t say that he couldn’t throw him out, right? Without the ugly old man in the manor, Asura felt that the air was fresh. He touched the little milk bottle in his arms and returned to the courtyard valiantly!
