Chapter 360: I’m Feel Sorry For Your Intellect
Translator: Dragon Boat Translation Editor: Dragon Boat Translation
Gu Xiaonan grinned mischievously at them. “A bunch of dummies!”
Everyone grew furious.
It turned out this kid deliberately diverted their attention to abduct their comrades.
But why?
“What are you planning to do? Release them quickly!”
Gu Xiaonan sighed. “You’re in denial even after I call you dummies. Did you really believe these nine people were on your side?”
“What do you mean?”
“Tsk tsk, I genuinely feel sorry for your intellect.”
A robust man protested, “You stinky brat, speak your clearly without insulting us!”
“Considering your pitiful and utterly foolish state, I’ll reluctantly enlighten you.” Gu Xiaonan glanced at their faces, sighed with a forced expression, and continued, “You came to find my mother because of these few people, right?”
The crowd paused, pondering the situation.
Upon reflection, it did seem that someone had initially mentioned Gu Qingluan.
They turned their gaze towards the nine individuals, who were completely covered in serpents and insects except for their heads.
Before long, they identified a couple of faces among the nine who had previously shared the “truth” with them.
“Yang Shusheng was right! Wasn’t it your mother who killed Duke Dingbei and angered the Dingbei Army?” someone questioned.
Gu Xiaonan pursed his lips, “My mother did, in fact, kill Duke Dingbei, but that occurred just today. Did the Dingbei Army teleport here? How could they swiftly arrive from the Northern Region as soon as Duke Dingbei passed away?”
The crowd fell silent.
This…
It does seem highly unlikely.
One person could teleport, but an entire army of millions?
Another person shouted, “Even if they came for other reasons, it’s because Duke Dingbei died that they rebelled!”
“Duke Dingbei’s death was kept under wraps. How did the Dingbei Army find out so quickly?”
Gu Xiaonan’s words left the crowd speechless once again.
He huffed, his adorable face filled with a chilling air of seriousness. Combined with Feng Yuanxi’s flute melody, it created a paradoxical image. “All of you’re still in denial even after I said you’re all fools! Do you know you’ve been used as pawns?”
The group exchanged bewildered glances.
They had been manipulated?
“These nine individuals are spies planted by the Dingbei Army in Tianjing City!”
“The Dingbei Army belongs to the Chengyuan Kingdom. How can you call their people spies? Even if they are spies, it could be for our benefit!”
“Stubborn fools!” Feng Yuanxi set aside his flute and walked out from the gate.
As the crowd heard his voice, they looked up.
Another child?
Didn’t Gu Qingluan only have one child?
Following behind Feng Yuanxi were guards from the Jun Family.
The serpents and insects he had summoned receded like a tide, and the guards approached, seizing the arms of the nine individuals and binding them.
“If the Dingbei Army were truly just, they wouldn’t have wreaked havoc and caused deaths in the city! Your dear ones wouldn’t have met such a tragic fate!” Feng Yuanxi approached Gu Xiaonan, his gaze penetrating as dark as the night as if he could peer into their souls. “Without the Emperor’s command, no army is permitted to depart from its designated post. The Dingbei Army coming secretly to Tianjing is already a significant conspiracy!”
“What do you two brats understand? Don’t be fooled by them! The Dingbei Army must have received orders to return, but they didn’t expect Duke Dingbei to be suddenly killed. With the Emperor protecting the murderer, they had no choice but to revolt.” A scholar named Yang shouted loudly, his face covered in angry welts from insect bites.
Gu Xiaonan chuckled, approached him, and tugged on his belt with force.
“What are you doing?” Scholar Yang shouted.
Snap!
