C118 Blood Beads (1)

Dou Dou's birthday was already decided, after all, the Emperor had ordered Xuanyuan Zhan to investigate the matter regarding the blood droplets. After Xuanyuan Zhan was done with his birthday, he began to investigate the matter regarding the blood droplets.

Since the blood droplets were stolen from the palace, then the palace must have left behind traces. Xuanyuan Zhan decided to start by investigating from the palace.

In Battle King Manor's study.

"Your Highness." Lei Yushandian was in the Battle King's study.

"The two of you should go to the city to check if there are any suspicious figures appearing in the capital recently. Anyone who enters or exits the city gates must be strictly investigated. "

"Yes sir!" Lei Yushandian took the order to head to the city to investigate.

At this moment, Feng Yu came to the study at the right time to look for Xuanyuan Zhan, and coincidentally saw him leave through the door, as if he had something urgent to do. Feng Yu guessed that the majority of it was related to the Blood Bead that the Emperor had handed to Xuanyuan Zhan to investigate.

Feng Yu walked into Xuanyuan Zhan's study. Xuanyuan Zhan raised his head and saw it was Feng Yu.

"I just saw Lei Yushandian leaving in a hurry. What's wrong, is it to investigate the matter regarding the blood bead that the emperor handed to you?" Feng Yu asked.

It wasn't that he didn't want to tell her about the use of the Blood Bead, it was just that that thing was too dangerous. Xuanyuan Zhan was afraid that Feng Yu would be in danger.

"It's fine, there's no big deal." said as he reached out his hand to grasp Feng Yukai's hand tightly before looking at Feng Yu. "Yu Er, you trust me. I can do it well, and I absolutely have the ability to do it well. "

Although she knew that Xuanyuan Zhan didn't want her to know what the blood droplets were for in order to protect her, Feng Yu also hoped that Xuanyuan Zhan would believe in her. He believed that she had the ability to protect him, and this kind of constant protection between him and Dou Dou would only make him feel that he was useless.

Feng Yu did not say anything as she placed the tea in her hands beside Xuanyuan Zhan's desk.

"Have you thought about how you're going to investigate this?" Feng Yu asked.

"I have already asked Lei Yushandian to send an order to all who leave the city, regardless of whether they are male, female, old or young." Yu Xuanyuan Zhan said, "I want to go into the palace to take a look later."

"You want to enter the palace?" Feng Yu didn't really wish for Xuanyuan Zhan to enter the palace. Alright, every time he entered the palace, there would always be trouble. There might be some troublesome matter that he had to hand over to Xuanyuan Zhan this time.

Xuanyuan Zhan seemed to have noticed Feng Yu's worry and comforted her, "It's alright, I'm already used to working hard. Don't worry, I'll be back soon. Wait for me at home with Dou Dou. "

Within the Imperial Palace, Xuanyuan Zhan had gone to the storehouse to take a look. Because Xuanyuan Zhan was investigating the case under the imperial edict of the Emperor, the people of the palace naturally did not dare to slack off.

"This old servant greets His Majesty the Battle-King." When the eunuch in charge of guarding the treasury saw that Xuanyuan Zhan had arrived, he stepped forward to pay his respects.

"Eunuch, there is no need to be so courteous. This King came today to take a look."

"Yes."

"Eunuch, you have been working in this warehouse for a long time. Do you remember who came to this place the day the blood droplets were lost?" Xuanyuan Zhan asked.

"This …" The eunuch thought for a long time, "This is the treasury of the royal palace. Usually, there will be heavy soldiers on guard and no one would dare to casually enter this place. Unless it's an imperial edict that allows you to enter, but someone really did come by that day? "

"Who?" Xuanyuan Zhan asked.

She came here to take the precious jewellery that the Da Yue family gave to us last time. But I saw that girl holding the imperial edict and saying that this treasure was given to you by the emperor, so of course this old servant doesn't dare to make things difficult for you.

"Is there no one else suspicious?"

"Other than them, there's really no one else who has come." After thinking about it, it was true that no one had come.

"Thank you, Eunuch. This King still wants to see for himself."

"Then, Your Highness, please take a look first. If there's anything, just call me old servant." With that, the eunuch left.

Xuanyuan Zhan strolled around the warehouse, wanting to see if there were any clues left behind by the person who stole the treasure. Xuanyuan Zhan realized that the other things in the warehouse had not been touched, and there seemed to be no traces of them being rummaged through at all. Could it be that the treasure thief already knew where the blood bead was hidden?

Xuanyuan Zhan felt that something was amiss. This box that held the Blood Bead was not placed together with the other treasures and items, it had always been placed in a secret location in the treasury. If it wasn't for the fact that the people in the palace wouldn't know about it, could it be that the person who stole the treasure was actually from the palace? Who could it be?

When Xuanyuan Zhan was going to the imperial palace, Lei Yushandian was helping the guards at the city gate to check on the people who were entering and exiting.

"Hey, have you heard? The reason why we have been so strict with our investigations these past few days is because the treasure that was guarding the Xiao Kingdom has been stolen. " A guard said.

"Really?"

"No need to fake it, my cousin is a guard at the entrance of the palace. I personally heard my cousin tell me that it was a mistake. I heard that the treasure of our Xiao Kingdom is a drop of blood. "For so many years, our emperor has always treated you as a national treasure, but this time, you've stolen from us. How about you, your majesty?"

"Who exactly stole it?" Isn't that person a little too daring? He actually dares to steal things from the treasury that's heavily guarded? "

"Isn't it?"

Lei Yu thought, if these two soldiers really didn't know how big the world was, how could they be so easily discussed by others even if they lost their national treasure? If it was heard by others, they wouldn't even think about their lives.

"Cough, cough."

The little soldier who was in the middle of a discussion raised his head and looked up. It was actually Battle King Manor's Thunder Guard.

"Protector Lei."

"Is this something that you two can discuss in private?" "Don't let me hear it again, hurry up and help out at the city gate."

"Yes, yes." The two little soldiers hurriedly agreed.

After all, not many people knew that the blood drops had been lost yet. If this were to happen, then it would spread like this, and more and more people would know that the blood drops had been lost, making it more and more chaotic. If that were to happen in the future, it would become somewhat troublesome to investigate the blood drops.

Thus, Lei Yu went to the palace to find Xuanyuan Zhan to report this matter, leaving Lightning to help at the city gate.

While Lei Yu was on his way to the treasury to find Xuanyuan Zhan, he heard two young eunuchs discussing the disappearance of the blood droplets. They said that a young palace maid seemed to have seen someone who could help on the day the blood droplets were lost.

"Who is that little palace maid?" Lei Yu asked.

"When the two eunuchs saw that it was the Battle King's guard, they immediately became respectful." Reporting to the Thunder Guards, they are the little palace maids who are in charge of cleaning the imperial study. "

When Lei Yu heard about the location of the little palace maid called Ning Shuang, he immediately went to report it to Xuanyuan Zhan.

"Your Highness." Lei Yu hurriedly ran over to the warehouse to find Xuanyuan Zhan.

Seeing that the lightning rain had ran over to find him in such a hurry, Xuanyuan Zhan realized that the lightning rain had probably found out something.

"What, have you found anything?" Xuanyuan Zhan asked.

"Reporting to Your Highness, this subordinate was in the city, but I didn't manage to find anything. It's just that just as I entered the palace, I heard two eunuchs discuss that a young maid called Ling Shuang saw someone suspicious appear. Your subordinate thought that this might be a rather important clue, so I thought about quickly reporting it to the Prince. " Lei Yu said.

"This is indeed a useful clue. Come, let's go look for that palace maid." Xuanyuan Zhan said as he left the warehouse.

"Right, Your Highness." Lei Yu suddenly remembered that he had come to the Imperial Palace for another matter. When Lightning and I were at the entrance of the city to check if there were any suspicious people, we discovered that everyone in the capital seemed to already know about the blood droplets being stolen. "

"How many people know?" Xuanyuan Zhan thought to himself, it had only been a few days since the blood drop was stolen, how could so many people know about it?

"I heard two guards discussing the matter of the blood droplets being stolen on the tower today."

"Is that so?" Xuanyuan Zhan thought. It seemed that he needed to hurry up and investigate the matter regarding the blood drops.

"Let's go, no matter what, the most important thing for us now is to find the person involved in the theft of the Blood Bead. Blood Beads are the most precious treasure of the My Xiao Country, but if we were to steal it, not only within the borders of the Xiao Kingdom, the rest of the countries will definitely try their best to obtain it." Xuanyuan Zhan said.

Xuanyuan Zhan followed Lei Yu towards the Jadeite Jade Pavilion where the little palace maid resided.

In the Battle King Manor.

Feng Yu had remained within the estate this entire time, but her heart had been filled with a faint sense of unease. She kept feeling that the matter regarding the blood bead was too strange, and Xuanyuan Zhan wasn't willing to tell him about the use of the blood bead. Feng Yu felt that she might need to investigate it personally.

The Hongfei Pavilion was the biggest intelligence organization in the Xiao Kingdom. As long as he wanted to know more, there would be no information that he wouldn't be able to get. He would definitely know the origin of the blood drops, so he could ask him about it.

Ever since Xuanyuan Feng's Duke Xuan Palace had been taken care of, they would occasionally take Dou Dou over to play. As for Dou Dou, why wouldn't he be happy to have someone to play with? Coincidentally, Dou Dou had went to Xuanyuan Feng's place today, so Feng Yule decided to look for Murong Zhi and ask him about the origin of the blood bead.

In Murong Zhi's courtyard in the capital.

"Pavilion Master, this Miss Feng Yu requests an audience." One of them reported.

"Phoenix feather?" Murong Zhi was very suspicious. This Feng Yu and Xuanyuan Zhan hadn't come to find him since returning from the border town, why did they come looking for him today? Could it be for the blood bead?

"Quick, invite her in." Murong Zhi instructed.

"Yes sir!"

Very quickly, a servant of the Murong Zhi Estate led Feng Yu to Murong Zhi's side.

"Battle Princess, when are you free to come to my small courtyard?" Murong Zhi laughed and replied humorlessly, "Still, you've missed me."

Feng Yu couldn't help but roll her eyes when she heard this completely unorthodox and unorthodox way of speaking. I came to find you today to ask you a question. "

"Oh ~" Murong Zhi raised an eyebrow, "What is it?"

"Do you know the Xiao Kingdom's national treasure?" Feng Yu asked.

Murong Zhi was shocked. Blood droplets? "

"Yes." Feng Yu said, "The reason why I came here today is to ask you what exactly is this blood bead for, and why Xuanyuan Zhan refused to tell me even after I've asked him many times. Furthermore, from the time we went to the border town until now, it seems like everything has revolved around this drop of blood. "

"You want to know the origin of these blood drops?" Murong Zhi asked.

"Naturally."

"Well, to tell you the truth. This drop of blood was actually obtained from the expedition by the previous Emperor, and had helped the previous Emperor to conquer the Xiao Kingdom. There was once a rumor in the martial world that the late emperor obtained a Blood Bead, and this Blood Bead was able to summon an army of thousands. Wherever it went, it would invincible. So the late emperor used it as a treasure to rule the country and guard the Xiao Kingdom. " Murong Zhi said, "As for whether or not this rumor is true, it is unknown. As for why Xuanyuan Zhan is unwilling to tell you …"

Murong Zhi glanced at Feng Yu, "That's because Xuanyuan Zhan definitely knows that with your personality, you will definitely investigate. "You should know that the rumours in the martial arts world say that this bead of blood is godly, but he is also afraid of bringing about your death."

"Is that really the case?" Feng Yu asked. She kept having the feeling that Murong Zhi had not told him everything she knew.

"Of course."

"Thank you, then I will return to the Battle King Manor first." Feng Yu told Murong Zhi that he no longer had any plans to tell her anything and decided to return on his own.
