âYou know him?â
Zhou Shu and the others looked at Shi Songtao.
Sending out spies should be a military operation. If Ji Lutian was a spy sent by Great Xia, Mi Ziwen should be the one who knew.
Unexpectedly, before Mi Ziwen remembered who Ji Lutian was, Shi Songtao knew.
âYour Highness, I think things might be different from what you think,â Shi Songtao said. âJi Lutian might not be a spy sent by the ten nations to the Demon Realm. He might have been abducted from the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament battlefield by the Demon Realm.â
Zhou Shu was slightly stunned.
It was really possible!
Since he could capture so many demonic beasts in here, the people of the Demon Realm could naturally do the same.
âIt doesnât matter how he got to the Demon Realm. Do you know who he is?â Zhou Shu asked.
âJi Lutian is not from Great Xia. Heâs a Grand Craftsman of Great Qin!â Shi Songtao said. âA hundred years ago, Ji Lutian was the most famous Grand Craftsman. Even the Great Qinâs Grand Craftsman Xu Shi is far inferior to Ji Lutian.â
âA Grand Craftsman of Great Qin?â Zhou Shu nodded thoughtfully.
No wonder Yao Qing had a heaven-grade weapon.
Since Ji Lutian was a Grand Craftsman, it was understandable for him to forge a heaven-grade weapon for his son.
He just didnât know what Ji Lutianâs situation in the Demon Realm was like.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
âDo you think Great Qin knows that Ji Lutian is still alive?â Zhou Shu rubbed his chin. âIf I can get such a famous Grand Craftsman back for them, how much will Great Qin pay me?â
Yin Wuyou, Mi Ziwen, and Shi Songtao were speechless.
Was it really okay to measure such things with money?
âYour Highness, you seem to be the side-by-side king of Great Qinâ¦â Shi Songtao said weakly.?You are the side-by-side king of Great Qin. Itâs reasonable for you to save the people of Great Qin.
âF*ck!â Zhou Shu froze and cursed.
Damn the Qin Emperor, he gave me this empty title, so it makes me too embarrassed to talk about money with him!
No, this bastard just gave me a title. Whereâs my salary?!
I must talk to him later!
âSecond Brother, did you let Yao Qing go because you want to contact Ji Lutian through him?â Mi Ziwen wondered.
Over the years, the ten nations had sent countless spies to the Demon Realm, but none of them had ever returned.
If they could really contact Ji Lutian, it would definitely be an earth-shattering matter.
This way, they would have a better understanding of the Demon Realm, and they would no longer be so passive in the Ten Nations Martial Arts Tournament.
âBut how can we judge if Ji Lutian has betrayed the human race?â
âI donât know.â Zhou Shu shook his head. âIâm only making an attempt. Iâm not sure if it will work.
âIn any case, thereâs nothing to lose by letting Yao Qing go. At most, Iâll just kill him later.â
While they were talking, a soldier hurried over. âYour Highness! A team of our people is outside.â
âOh? More people?â Zhou Shu said. âOur camp is going to expand again.
âBig Brother, Grand Minister, letâs go take a look.â
Zhou Shu walked first.
By the time they reached the camp gates, Mei Wushang had already let the people inside.
Zhou Shu immediately saw Liang Hongxiu, whose face was covered in blood, carrying a woman in green. Beside her, Yang Hong was carrying a man covered in blood.
âLu Wenshuang? Yang Hong? Why are you two together?â Zhou Shu said in surprise.
âYour Highness, please save my general.â
As soon as Liang Hongxiu saw Zhou Shu, her tears fell. She bent her knees and was about to kneel.
Zhou Shu quickly held her. âWhatâs going on?â
âLittle Senior Sister Lu!â Yin Wuyou had already rushed to Liang Hongxiuâs side and took Lu Wenshuang off her back.
Lu Wenshuangâs eyes were tightly shut, her face was as pale as paper, and her breathing was very weak.
âOn our way here, we encountered a large group of demonic beasts. In order to protect us, the general didnât hesitate to use a secret techniqueâ¦â Liang Hongxiu cried.
Zhou Shu frowned.
âGrand Minister, bring her to a room first,â Zhou Shu said solemnly.
Fortunately, she wasnât dead.
No matter how serious the injury, it could always be healed.
If she died, there would be nothing he could do.
âYour Highness!â
Zhou Shu was thinking of a way to treat Lu Wenshuang when Yang Hong suddenly stopped him.
âDivine Constable Yang, letâs talk later. Saving lives is more important.â Zhou Shu said.
âYour Highness, we canât wait! Itâs urgent!â Yang Hong said anxiously.
Zhou Shu frowned and stopped to look at Yang Hong.
Yang Hong was carrying a person on his back. This person didnât look any better than Lu Wenshuang.
Zhou Shu saw that the personâs face was unfamiliar and asked, âWho is this?â
âYour Highness, I saved this person from the Demon Realm!â Yang Hong said in a low voice.
Everyone around was on the same side, so Yang Hong didnât hide anything.
Hearing Yang Hongâs words, everyone was stunned.
Saved from the Demon Realm?
Even Liang Hongxiu and the others were stunned.
They had met Yang Hong halfway.
When they were fighting the demonic beasts, the Demon Executing Armyâs Lieutenant Zhang Heng had died in battle. Before he died, he didnât even have the time to shoot the Cloud-Piercing Arrow.
Just as Liang Hongxiu and the others were trying to find the camp, they suddenly encountered Yang Hong.
