<h4>Chapter 1722: Chapter 1713: Unfortunate News</h4>


    Half an hourter, under the escort of two strong warriors, the four of them, Cangsheng, finally returned to the War Pce.


    After the battle, Ao Yun took a bath and tidied his hair.


    Afterward, Mo Fengxue healed the pulse condition of the convalescing cloud and dust.


    "Old Father Mei, what’s wrong? You look flustered. Is the sky falling?"


    Spring and Autumn leaned on the Great Dragon, leisurely eating grapes peeled by the pce maids.


    Father Mei looked ugly. He idly nced at Baili’s Spring and Autumn Festival. He wanted to speak but was afraid that if he did, Baili Chunqiu would vent his anger on him.


    "What’s the matter? What’s happening? Say what you want to say. Look at you, like widows choking up!"


    Father Mei squirmed and fussed but didn’t say a word, causing a bit of displeasure in Baili Chunqiu.


    Old Father Mei was both anxious and fearful, with sweat beginning to form on his back. Yet he still didn’t dare to tell this news to Baili Chunqiu directly, so he passed the information to him.


    However, this news was quite significant. Not revealing it would be considered a grave crime of deceiving the monarch and concealing important matters.


    Struggling back and forth, Father Mei finally gritted his teeth, stammering, "Return to the King... the prison cart... the prison cart..."


    Upon hearing the word "prison cart," Baili Chunqiu’s smile suddenly disappeared.


    He pushed aside the female guests on either side, suddenly sitting up from the long sofa, looking seriously at Father Mei. "What exactly happened?"


    Seeing the change in Baili Chunqiu, Father Mei’s heart couldn’t help but tremble.


    "Please reply to His Majesty, ... the prison cart... it’s been robbed!"


    Old Father Mei bit his lip fiercely, closed his eyes, and delivered this unfortunate news.


    "What? What did you say?"


    Upon hearing this, Baili Chunqiu was also stunned.


    He thought he misheard something, so he asked once more.


    "Your Majesty, the prison cart was robbed!"


    Old Father Mei cried out, knelt on the ground.


    "Ba Zi."


    Once again, upon hearing this sentence, Baili Chunqiu’s heart felt like it was struck by lightning, causing his entire body to tremble uncontrobly.


    "How could this be? I sent twenty strong warriors with the widow; how could they be robbed?"


    Baili Chunqiu’s gaze became dazed, murmuring in disbelief.


    The maids knelt on the ground, not daring to lift their heads from beginning to end.


    This incident is dreadful news for the Bei Li family.


    If he gets angry, it would be troublesome.


    It took Baili Chunqiu a long time to recover from the shock.


    Frowning, his face carried a trace of fear. "Where did the widow’s prison cart get robbed, as told by the prisoner?"


    Father Mei, seeing that at the time of Baili Chunqiu’s reign, he wasn’t disappointed, slightly raised his head, and with a trembling voice, said: "On the king’s return, they were leaving the Southern Rockies."


    "You mean the prison cart was robbed in the dark?"


    Baili Chunqiu looked and asked in shock.


    "Yes! It was in the dark! From the time period till now, it turned out that someone was letting out signals in the secret passage!"


    Old Father Mei showed anger, deeply hating some enemies.


    Didn’t the widow send twenty people to escort that prison cart? Were they all barrels?


    Thinking of those strong ones, Baili Chunqiu couldn’t help but be furious.


    He had raised these strong men for many years, and finally had the opportunity to let them work. Yet, the result was so astonishing.


    At this moment, Baili Chunqiu couldn’t help but feel a murderous surge. He wondered what those strong men were doing.


    If the prisoners were robbed due to their ipetence, Baili Chunqiu concluded that they wouldn’t have a good ending.


    "The strong... they are all dead!


    "A little hesitant," Gong Mei said weakly.


    "Dead? Those were twenty heavenly and earthly strong ones, two among them were strong in heaven and earth. Do you think they are all dead?"


    Hearing Father Mei’s words, once again a huge shock went through Baili Chunqiu’s body.


    He couldn’t imagine that, in this Tang Dynasty, apart from the Heavenly Soldier Pavilion, the Warring States Heavenly Pce, and the Marlboro, there could be any other forces or people who could kill the world’s twenty powerful ones.


    "And based on the investigation results, those twenty strong ones are all dead. They were easily ughtered.


    "ording to detective reports, not even a fight happened at the scene of the incident."


    Mei Dun dared not hide anything. He recounted the story back to Baili Chunqiu a hundred years ago.


    "How could this be? How could this be!"


    Spring and Autumn opened his eyes angrily, staring at him from a distance.


    He couldn’t imagine, besides the three forces and Heavenly Dragon Temple, who else could stand against the world’s twenty strong ones?


    And to easily ughter twenty people on heaven and earth. How strong must they be?


    Afraid for quite some time, Baili Chunqiu waved his hand weakly: "Alright, I don’t need you anymore, you may step down!"


    "Yes!"


    Gong Mei had long since wanted to leave. When he heard that Baili Chunqiu was asking for his dismissal, he felt relieved.


    He quickly got up, bowed three times to Baili Chunqiu, then hurriedly left the pce.


    Ao Cangsheng’s eyebrows knitted, unwilling to approach.


    Upon hearing this, Mo Xiaohu said in surprise: "How strange. That day, the one picking a fight was the deputy master of Heng Zhan’s Red Blood Group..."


    Upon hearing the word "Heng Zhan," an undefeated face suddenly appeared in Ao’s mind.


    Recalling that face, Ao Cangsheng suddenly said: "I remember I defeated Heng Yu, brother of Heng Yuan that day."


    "This must be a longsting war to avenge his brother, so he came specifically to find me."


    "But I happened not to be there, so he vented on you, right?"


    "Well done!"


    Mo Xiaohu nodded and said: "That day when the war came, you looked for your allies, asking them to give their names."


    "When we saw it was a perpetual war and didn’t want direct conflict, we assumed you were not here, allowing him toe again another day."


    "However, in constant war, he imed to be the master of allies, thinking you deliberately avoided him, so he directly used us of being arrogant at Heaven’s Gate."


    "Others came knocking. If we still avoided the battle, things would have been too shameful."


    "So, we epted the eternal war’s challenge and had some fights with people from the Red Blood Alliance."


    "Initially, the eternal war didn’t begin, but allowed the civilians on his side to challenge our Red Blood Brother Alliance."


    "Until the left guard captain came out, defeated all of Heng Wu’s subordinates, only then did Heng Wu take bold action."


    He leaned back and said: "I must say that man Heng Zhan indeed has skills. I couldn’t even get warmed up before being directly defeated by him.


    "If this weren’t the case, we wouldn’t have been so miserable."


    Moreover, when the eternal war ended, he said: "Let us convey your message to the master of allies. When you return, go to the Red Blood Alliance and kneel to apologize to him."


    "Otherwise... otherwise, he will tear down the entire Red Blood Alliance, ultimately digging three feet deep. He will also find you, throw you out!"


    Thest sentence was spoken by a chubby young man.


    He was one of the brothers who participated in the battle that day and, because he was defeated, not only was he injured, but his weapon was also taken away.


    After listening to everyone, a fierce look inadvertently surfaced on Ao Cangsheng’s face.


    No wonder Heng Yu could be so arrogant in the Heavenly Dragon Five Talents Court.


    With such an example, even if Heng Yu wanted to be arrogant, it would probably be difficult.


    "Boss, what do we do now? Should we call him back too?"


    I’ve been harboring a grudge about what happened that day ever since.


    Sinceing to the Heavenly Dragon Temple, I’ve never lost to anyone in a duel.


    But that day, because of Heng Zhan’s intense attack, my blood power couldn’t be exerted, and I was directly defeated by Heng Zhan.


    To others, it might be a small failure. But for me, it was extreme humiliation to sit in silence.


    Therefore, he decided he must reim his honor from Heng Zhan’s war again.
