Xiao Tianyao’s actions were extremely fast, as soon as Rongrong’s father’s condition stabilized, he arranged for someone to send them to the capital.
Of course, Xiao Tianyao didn’t forget to arrange for a doctor to accompany him. Anyway, both Rongrong’s father and son helped Lin Chujiu once. For Lin Chujiu’s sake, he would let someone take care of Rongrong and his father.
After sending the people away, Xiao Tianyao camped not far from Stone Town, staying where he was in the name of looking for the Imperial Envoy.
The campsite chosen by Xiao Tianyao was very hidden, and people who were not familiar with the terrain cannot find it. The people from the Imperial Envoy happen to be unfamiliar with the terrain.
After the members of the Imperial Envoy were thrown out by the people of Stone Town, they didn’t immediately go looking for Xiao Tianyao and his party. Instead, they waited outside Stone Town for a day, preparing to sneak into Stone Town after dark, and let those people pay back for the shame they suffered.
With previous lessons, the members of the Imperial Envoy were very careful this time, but it was useless for them to be more careful. Not long after entering Stone Town, they lost their strength. Let alone teaching the people of Stone Town, they were lucky to come out safely.
“This town is too evil, Your Highness, we’d better not take risks.” The Martial God who came with the Imperial Envoys was worried that if he stayed in the town for a long time, he would lose all his martial arts, so he dare not to enter again. He tried his best to persuade the young prince, hoping he’ll stop sneaking into town for revenge.
“Can you accept it?” The young prince looked at the Chief Imperial Envoy and the Martial God accompanying him with a cold face.
He has grown up this big, but he has never been humiliated like this. Others can bear it, but he can’t.
He must kill all the people in this wretched town to appease the humiliation he felt.
“Your Highness, why do we need to do it ourselves if we want to take revenge? This is the East. Our lives have been threatened in the East, naturally, the East has to handle it. This will also show our respect for the East.” A civil servant will be a civil servant. They couldn’t chew the hard bones of the Stone Town, but the deputy envoy pulled out a high-sounding reason.
“Well, what you said makes sense. Let’s go to Xiao Wangye and ask him to come forward.” The young prince originally didn’t want Xiao Tianyao to know their distress, but thinking of the strangeness in Stone Town, the young prince had other considerations.
After making a decision, the Imperial Envoys stopped quarreling with the people in Stone Town and left immediately to find Xiao Tianyao and his party. But one day and one night passed, Xiao Tianyao and his party would not wait for them at the same place, and they might even have left long ago.
To catch up with Xiao Tianyao and his party, the Imperial Envoy’s guards specially brought some horses, and the group rode fast. Still, after driving for half a day, they did not find any trace of Xiao Tianyao and his party.
“Could it be that they are looking for us?” With this suspicion, the people of the Imperial Envoy turned back, but they searched for a long time, but they did not find any trace of Xiao Tianyao and his party.
Things were getting strange.
“What should we do now?” The Chief Imperial Envoy and the deputy envoy were discussing on the sidelines, but they couldn’t come up with a solution after many discussions. In the end, the young prince decided to wait at the same place for three days. Xiao Tianyao and his party might have gone to the local government.
They were robbed in the East territory, and the East should give them an explanation. Since Xiao Tianyao was not around, then he will them their identity and let the East Court come forward. People in the East will not dare to neglect them at all.
Since it was meaningless, the Chief Imperial Envoy and the Deputy Imperial Envoy stopped searching for traces of Xiao Tianyao and his party. When the people from the Imperial Envoy were looking for Xiao Tianyao’s traces everywhere, Xiao Tianyao’s people had already taken enough water from the cracks in the rocks.
With these waters, not only their soldiers but also the upcoming Jinwuwei Army will not be affected by the mysterious power of Stone Town.
In a blink of an eye, another three days passed, and the people from the imperial mission still couldn’t find Xiao Tianyao, so they had no choice but to look for the local government, but they didn’t expect that once they arrived at the government, before explaining their purpose, the government welcoming them with joy. Then said that Prince Xiao had been looking for them for several days.
At that moment, the members of the Imperial Envoy wanted to vomit blood.
When they were looking for Xiao Tianyao, Xiao Tianyao was also looking for them, but the two parties didn’t meet.
Thinking of this, the young prince was filled with resentment, but Xiao Tianyao was not at fault for this matter, no matter how angry he was, he couldn’t cast his anger on Xiao Tianyao.
However, Xiao Tianyao was not at fault for this matter, but the East was at fault for what happened in Stone Town. At this time, the young prince and the members of the Imperial Envoy didn’t care about face and explained all the evil deeds of the people in Stone Town.
Of course, they will not forget to whitewash it and never mention that they can’t do anything to the people of Stone Town. They just said that since this was the East, it was inconvenient to meddle in the Eastern’s affairs.
Although their words were beautiful, Xiao Tianyao knew the inside story, but this was not the right time to expose it. He also needs to use the robbery of the Imperial Envoy as an excuse to mobilize troops to besiege Stone Town.
After listening to the Imperial Envoy’s upright accusations, Xiao Tianyao said with a blank face: “After this matter is investigated, benwang will give the Imperial Envoy an explanation.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for your answer.” The members of the Imperial Envoy were all smart people. They knew it would be useless to force Xiao Tianyao at this time. After receiving a positive reply from Xiao Tianyao, they waited patiently for the result of Xiao Tianyao’s disposition.
He did not disappoint the members of the Imperial Envoy, and even surprised them very much. After Xiao Tianyao found out the truth of the matter, he immediately ordered his troops to besiege Stone Town and told them that no one could stay in this town.
Seeing how Xiao Tianyao gave the Imperial Envoy face, the Imperial Envoy and even the young prince were very satisfied. They only thought that Xiao Tianyao was afraid of the Central Empire and did not dare to make them unhappy. This ‘Could not stay’ means that if they stay they couldn’t keep their lives.
Of course, the people from the Imperial Envoy asked Xiao Tianyao why they lost their strength as soon as they arrived in Stone Town, and they were fine as soon as they came out.
Xiao Tianyao gave them the answer that there was a colorless and odorless incense in the town, which can make people weak after burning, but the effect was not strong, and it will take an hour to lose its effect.
To convince the people of the Imperial Envoy, Lin Chujiu made that kind of incense, and let the people of the Imperial Envoy try it.
Of course, when testing the incense, Lin Chujiu brought a black stone and successfully convinced them that they lost their strength in Stone Town because of the effect of this incense.
A kind of incense that can make martial gods lose their power, the people of the Imperial Envoy naturally wanted to covet it, but before they opened their mouths, Xiao Tianyao said that this incense was harmful to people, to prevent such things from happening, this kind of incense should be destroyed. So the most important ingredients were burned by Xiao Tianyao.
The members of the Imperial Envoy agreed with their mouths, but secretly collected the seeds of the ingredients and took them away. They thought they were doing it flawlessly, but they didn’t know that Xiao Tianyao was watching their every move, and just didn’t say anything.
In the name of the Imperial Envoy, Xiao Tianyao successfully took down Stone Town. To prevent people from discovering the secret of Stone Town, Xiao Tianyao ordered people to dig out all the black stones in the town. Except for the one brought to the Central Empire, the rest were buried underground. He will only take it out when needed… …
