A hint of envy and longing flashed across the fishman general's eyes, but it quickly disappeared and turned into anger.
"That shameless thief actually emptied most of the king's treasury! All the valuables were taken away by him. The king will definitely not let it go!
It will soon pay the price for its mistakes.”
As Xu Chunniang listened, she couldn't help but feel shocked by Qiongqi's audacity, and then anger surged in her heart.
Qiongqi is now using Xiaojuzi's body. If anything unexpected happens, won't Xiaojuzi be the one to die with it
We must find this guy as soon as possible, kill him, and bring Little Orange back!
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and said to the fishman general.
"That Qiongqi is really abominable. I am deeply saddened by what happened to your king.
How about this, I will stay by your side and help you find that Qiongqi."
There was a hint of hesitation on the face of the fishman general, not knowing whether he should agree to this.
After all, this matter is of great importance, and the king has repeatedly instructed him to get it done well.
Xu Chunniang frowned slightly, "I have a deep friendship with your king, otherwise I would not have risked offending the Jiao Palace and come to the banquet.
Why, you don't trust me?"
The fishman general shook his head quickly, "Of course I dare not doubt you, sir, but you have come from afar and are a distinguished guest of our king. How can I bother you to interfere in this matter?"
Xu Chunniang's brows relaxed slightly and she nodded slightly.
"Your king's affairs are my affairs. Whether it is a nuisance or not, this is the matter.
I am just following you. If you find the Qiongqi, the credit you deserve will still be yours."
The fishman general was overjoyed. With such a great man to help, this matter would surely go smoothly.
"Thank you, sir. When I find the Qiongqi, I hope you can speak well of me in front of the king."
Xu Chunniang nodded calmly, "Of course, let's set out to find Qiongqi."
According to the original plan of the fishman general, all the sea creatures in the city would be able to capture the Qiongqi in just one or two days.
Now with the help of adults, the process will only be faster.
However, after searching outside the city for four or five days, he still couldn't find any trace of the Qiongqi, and he couldn't help but become anxious.
If he fails to complete the king's mission, he will be the first to suffer.
Xu Chunniang followed the fishman general closely, watching his actions over the past few days and frowning secretly.
This fishman general was quite capable in deploying troops. He arranged all the sea creatures in the city in an orderly manner, without missing any place.
Logically speaking, there should be some discoveries.
But the fact is that after searching for four or five days, we returned empty-handed.
The fishman general couldn't help but become anxious. He paced back and forth, as if he was thinking about something, and from time to time he looked at Xu Chunniang who was silent beside him.
However, this gentleman never uttered a single word.
He was frowning, and suddenly a bold idea popped into his mind.
No, no…
The murloc general shook his head, trying to drive the thoughts out of his mind.
Although the adults came to help him, who was he and how could he force the adults to do things for him
But... if he doesn't ask the adults to take action, he will not be able to report this matter to the king.
The fishman general hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke tentatively to Xu Chunniang.
"My Lord, I have a plan that may help me find Qiongqi."
"Oh, tell me about it?"
Xu Chunniang looked calm, but that was only on the surface. In fact, she was more worried about Xiaojuzi's safety than these people, but she couldn't show it.
"I have searched everywhere outside the city for Qiongqi but have not found any. There is only one possibility."
The fishman general said this with a look of certainty, "It must have fled to the south, to the territory of the Jiaohuang Palace!"
Xu Chunniang's eyes revealed a trace of solemnity. In the eyes of these sea creatures, the Jiaohuang Palace was countless times more powerful than the Mirage Demon City.
"Is the Jiao Palace also nearby?"
Seeing that the Lord didn't even know the location of the Dragon Palace, the fishman general showed a hint of surprise in his eyes, and then quickly understood.
The adults once said that she had been in seclusion for many years and only came out recently. Perhaps it was because she didn't pay attention to these things.
The fishman general explained, "In fact, the Jiaohuang Palace is very far away from here. But the territory of the Jiaohuang Palace is very large, and it borders the Mirage City.
If you go south a short distance, you will reach the territory of Jiaohuang Palace."
Originally, more than three hundred years ago, the Mirage City and the Dragon Palace had a good relationship and close exchanges.
But ever since the unpleasant encounter between the King and the Jiao Palace more than three hundred years ago, the relationship between the two sides quickly deteriorated and gradually developed to the point where it is today.
In his opinion, it would be unwise for the king to offend the Jiao Palace.
But he had no say in the king's decision, so he should just be honest and do his duty.
The fishman general sighed. He searched everywhere for Qiongqi but couldn't find him. He strongly suspected that the guy had escaped to the south.
But the Jiaohuang Palace was powerful, and the people there didn't like them. Even if they knew this, they couldn't chase them.
"Sir, I have an unwelcome request. If my next words offend you, please don't blame me."
Xu Chunniang turned to look at the fishman general, "Tell me what you have to say."
A hint of joy appeared in the eyes of the fishman general. Since the lord did not directly refuse, there was a chance for this matter.
"To be honest, I would like to ask you for help to go to the south. You are of noble status and not from the Mirage City. Those people will not dare to stop you!"
Xu Chunniang pondered for a moment. Since she couldn't find Qiongqi anywhere, staying in this Mirage City would be a waste of time. She could really try her luck in the south.
In a dozen days, the mirage monster will wake up. We can take this opportunity to escape from this mirage monster city.
Having made up her mind, Xu Chunniang nodded slightly towards the fishman general.
"This is not a bad idea. I will go to the south to explore the road and see what the situation is."
The fishman general was overjoyed, "With you here, it will be easy to catch that Qiongqi villain."
Xu Chunniang didn't say much. She took the sea map from the fishman general and headed south.
After watching her leave, the fishman general suddenly thought of something and his heart skipped a beat.
The adults said they were going to look for Qiongqi, but they didn't tell him when they would come back after finding the thief Qiongqi.
What should he do if the king wakes up and the master hasn't returned
Otherwise, he could send a few more teams to the south to try their luck and see if they could sneak through before breaking through the blockade of the Jiaohuang Palace.
If I'm lucky, maybe I can find Qiongqi before adults.
He made up his mind and began to personally select the elite troops.
While the fishman generals were busy selecting elite soldiers, Xu Chunniang had gradually moved away from the Mirage City and headed south.
