C201 There Was No Time to Delay
"Patriarch, do you really want to say it?" Chu Xiu asked worriedly, as if he knew what was going on.
"There's nothing to hide. After all, something like this has already happened. I have no choice but to tell you." Chu Huaxiong said.
Chu Xiu saw the look in Chu Huaxiong's eyes. He could only nod and remain silent.
"Old mister Chu, do you really know the inside story?" Qing Kangping asked curiously.
"Before this, I wanted to apologize to the Emperor. I'm afraid that what happened to the princess has something to do with the Chu family." Chu Huaxiong said.
"Elder Chu, why do you say that?" Qing Kangping was even more puzzled, and countless thoughts were running through his mind. If this matter really had something to do with the Chu family, how should he resolve it?
"Uncle Chu, is this matter really related to the Chu family?" Chu Tian was also surprised, but he knew that Chu Huaxiong was a cautious man. He would never speak nonsense that would affect the Chu family.
"The current Emperor of Cloud Sea Country is actually the father of one of my men. Back then, one of my men roamed with me and endured hardships. He didn't care about the opposition of his family. In addition, my wife passed away due to illness, causing my father-in-law to hold a deep grudge against me. I'm afraid that my father-in-law found out about the news of the Chu family in the Cloud Rising Country. That's why he made such a big fuss about it. " Chu Huaxiong said.
Chu Tian was slightly stunned. Now that he thought about it, he did hear Chu Huaxiong mention that Chu Yunxue's mother was from a wealthy family. However, he didn't expect her to be a princess of a country.
Just like what Chu Huaxiong said, perhaps the latter's suffering was unreasonable. He was afraid that the Chu family really had something to do with this.
At this moment, Qing Kangping had also finished listening to Chu Huaxiong's words. This result might not have been expected by everyone, but he originally thought that the atmosphere would be awkward. However, Qing Kangping laughed out loud.
"Old mister Chu, you don't have to worry about this. This matter might really have something to do with the Chu family. But after all, this is a political matter of a country. I believe that the king of Cloud Sea Country would not easily use the future of a country as a reason to be angry. " Qing Kangping said.
Chu Huaxiong had a surprised expression. He originally thought that the emperor would probably punish the Chu family. He had made up his mind to tell the truth. However, he didn't expect that Qing Kangping wouldn't care about it at all.
"Even if this matter really has something to do with the Chu family, I won't care about it. Chu Tian has helped me, and even the entire Cloud Rising Country. Naturally, I won't easily punish the Chu family. Old mister Chu, please rest assured. " Qing Kangping spoke bluntly. From this, it could be seen how much importance he attached to Chu Tian.
Chu Huaxiong finally heaved a sigh of relief after hearing the latter's words. At this moment, Chu Tian's gaze also landed on Qing Kangping.
"Mr. Kangping, I think that this matter is definitely not that simple. Perhaps it is related to my Chu family, but the power of Cloud Sea Country is relatively weak. Even if there is an expert in their power, if they want to take down the intermediate Life Death Stage Gong Lei... I think that's impossible. I'm afraid there's something fishy about this matter." Chu Tian said.
"Mr. Chu, what do you mean?" Qing Kangping frowned and looked at Chu Tian. He agreed with Chu Tian's guess and felt that this matter was not as simple as it looked.
"If we want to take down Gong Lei and the others, I'm afraid that the enemy is a Life Death Stage Late Period warrior, or there are a lot of Life Death Stage warriors." Chu Tian said.
"How is it possible to have a large number of Life Death Stage warriors? It's absolutely impossible for the Cloud Sea Country to have such a powerful force. I'm afraid it should be reinforcements, but who would give such reinforcements to a small country like the Cloud Sea Country? This is a deal that can't be settled. " Qing Kangping said.
"Mr. Kangping, perhaps you have forgotten that there is indeed someone who can bring out so many experts. Furthermore, it is someone who has a grudge with our Cloud Rising Country." Chu Tian said.
"Could it be the Luosong Cult?" Qing Kangping asked in surprise.
Last time, the Cloud Rising Country had a narrow escape from death, and all of this was because of the Luosong Cult. If it wasn't for Chu Tian's presence, the Cloud Rising Country would no longer exist. Now that he heard that the Luosong Cult was preparing to make a comeback, he was naturally very worried.
Chu Tian nodded his head, confirming Qing Kangping's guess. The only thing that made sense was this point. Otherwise, it wouldn't make sense.
"Under such circumstances, I think our top priority right now is to rescue the princess and the others. Although judging from the way Cloud Sea Country imprisoned them, I'm afraid that they have other motives. However, this also proves that the princess and the others won't have to worry about their lives right now. However, I'm afraid that it won't be the case if we drag this on for too long. " Chu Tian said.
"Then according to Mr. Chu, what do you mean?" Qing Kangping looked at Chu Tian.
"Under the current circumstances, I don't recommend sending troops to suppress Cloud Sea Country. If we anger them, the princess will be in danger. Therefore, I think we should send a team of elite soldiers to rescue the princess. Only then can we not be restrained." Chu Tian said.
"Elite people? If that's the case, I will ask Liu to follow you. Since the enemy is a Life Death Stage warrior, sending the rest of our men there won't help." Qing Kangping said.
Currently, in terms of experts, Cloud Rising Country didn't have many experts. Qing Mingcheng's strength wasn't the same as the Ordinary People, so he agreed to let the latter follow Chu Tian.
"Your Majesty, this subordinate sincerely requests that I go with you. I also wish to do my best." Huifeng said.
Qing Kangping frowned when he heard what Huifeng said. Huifeng was still weaker than Chu Tian and the others. If he went with them, it would make Chu Tian and the others less efficient.
"Huifeng, I know your loyalty, but it's not that simple to save someone. I'm afraid you won't be able to take on this task given your strength." Qing Kangping said.
"Your Majesty, I understand that I am not strong enough, but even if I cannot directly participate in the rescue mission, I know the route of Cloud Sea Country pretty well. I can lead the way for Saint Emperor and the others. " Huifeng said anxiously. It seemed like he was really determined to follow Chu Tian and the others.
Qing Kangping frowned. Qing Lianer's mistakes had already made him a little irritated. In addition to Huifeng disobeying his orders, his tone couldn't help but become stern.
"Forget it. Mr. Kangping, it's only one more person. It's not a big deal. Besides, with Huifeng leading the way, we can also help with the operation. After all, we are racing against time now." Chu Tian said.
Hearing Chu Tian's words, Qing Kangping could only nod his head and agree with Huifeng's plan.
When Huifeng heard that he could go with him, he immediately expressed his gratitude to Qing Kangping.
"Don't be in a hurry to thank me. It was your negligence as a guard that caused the princess to lose her job. I will settle this matter with you after my sister returns safely." Qing Kangping said.
Even though he heard that Qing Kangping was going to punish him, Huifeng didn't have the slightest fear. The only thought left in his mind was to help Qing Lianer escape.
After this, Qing Kangping hurriedly left because he couldn't leave the palace for too long. Chu Tian watched as the latter left.
The matter of Qing Lianer being held hostage naturally couldn't be spread to the outside world. Therefore, no one in the Yanjing City knew that Qing Lianer was in trouble.
After that, under Chu Tian's arrangement, Huifeng carefully rested in the medicinal bath. Under such circumstances, he had to recover as soon as possible so that he could have a better effect.
As for the emergency, Chu Tian didn't plan to delay at all. He was ready to set off, and the matter of the Chu family was left to Chu Huaxiong and Chu Xiu to handle.
Not long after that, another figure appeared in Chu Tian's residence. The latter was Qing Mingcheng. They were the representatives of the strongest people in the Cloud Rising Country.
