Shock

The next morning, inside the West Lucozia Palace.

After finishing breakfast, Thorian was about to contact Zhengjun Duncan, but found that the other party's phone was not reachable at all.

He tried several times, but no one answered.

"Um?"

Thorian was a little puzzled. The two had agreed yesterday to go to Stonia together today, so how come they suddenly lost contact?

Did he stand him up?

If he thinks about it carefully, it's unlikely.

The two of them had a very pleasant conversation and began to call each other brothers. They will travel together so that they could look after each other on the road.

Besides, even if Zhengjun Duncan was really in a hurry to leave West Lucozia, he would definitely give a notice in advance.

Not to the point of disappearing.

"Is there something wrong?"

Thorian suddenly felt uneasy, and quickly called his confidant, ordering him, "Go check right away to see where Zhengjun Duncan is. Report back as soon as you get any news!"

"yes!"

The confidant responded and left quickly.

Thorian poured himself a cup of tea and waited quietly.

About an hour later, the confidant returned again.

"How is it? Any news?"

Thorian immediately stood up and asked.

During the waiting period, he called many times, but there was no response.

"Your Highness, I went to the hotel where Zhengjun Duncan was staying, and the waiter claimed that he had left last night." The confidant replied.

"He left last night?" Thorian raised his eyebrows: "Did he return to Stonia early?"

"I checked the entry and exit records last night. Although Zhengjun Duncan has booked a flight ticket, he has not boarded the plane. He should not have left West Lucozia yet." The confidant explained.

"He booked a plane ticket but didn't leave. Could something really have happened?" Thorian frowned, feeling more and more uneasy.

Zhengjun Duncan was a distinguished guest who his eldest brother had personally instructed to be treated well. If anything happened to the other party, how would he explain to his eldest brother?

"Is there any other news?" Thorian asked quickly.

"According to my investigation, Zhengjun Duncan left with Liu Qiang last night. For this reason, I even went to Liu Qiang's home specially. Like Zhengjun Duncan, he also disappeared!" The confidant said concisely.

"check!"

Thorian's eyes suddenly became sharp: "Investigate carefully for me! Even if you have to kill three people, even if you have to turn the whole royal city upside down, you have to find the person for me!"

"Yes, sir!"

The confidant responded and turned to leave.

If before they were just looking for someone, now they are searching the whole city.

The West Lucozia Palace has its own exclusive law enforcement team, which is above all other institutions.

Once the law enforcement team is dispatched, all official personnel in West Lucozia must put down their current work and cooperate fully.

The most important thing is that the palace law enforcement team has the right to execute first and report later.

No matter whether you are a high-ranking official or a powerful person, if you hinder the law enforcement team's work, you can be killed on the spot.

If you resist, you will be beheaded at best, or exterminated along with your entire clan!

There was once a high-ranking official who, relying on his own outstanding achievements, disregarded the law and indulged his descendants in doing evil.

When the palace law enforcement team arrived at the scene to arrest people, they even mobilized private troops to resist.

The final result was that all the direct descendants of the clan, including the high-ranking officials, were beheaded.

Such a large family, more than 300 people, was wiped out overnight!

From then on, the Royal Palace Law Enforcement Team became the nightmare of all officials.

So when the law enforcement team was dispatched, officials in the entire West Lucozia Royal City became nervous, fearing that they would get into trouble.

At this moment, in the general's mansion.

General Long Wei was conducting actual combat training with his personal guards in the martial arts arena.

He was shirtless, revealing his strong muscles, and he wielded a spear with great skill.

Even if he was outnumbered ten at a time, he still had the upper hand.

Although these guards were elites selected from thousands of people, they could only retreat step by step under the powerful offensive of General Longwei.

In a short while, more than ten people were knocked to the ground.

"A bunch of gluttons!"

General Long Wei pointed his spear at the noses of the guards and scolded, "I told you to train more and improve your strength, but you insisted on being lazy. Now you are all like weaklings, unable to withstand even three of my moves. I can’t stop it. If I had to rely on you to protect me, I would have died long ago!"

"General, it's not that we are incapable, it's that you are too powerful. Looking across the entire West Lucozia, there are not many people who can last more than three moves from you." The leader of the royal guards said bitterly, covering his dislocated arm.

Although he looked aggrieved, General Longwei was pleased with his flattery.

"Humph! I'm too lazy to bother with you this time. If you still act like this next time, don't blame me for using a military stick to punish you!"

As General Long Wei spoke, he threw the spear in his hand accurately into the military formation.

The leader of the personal guards did not care about his dislocated arm, and hurriedly picked up a dry towel and handed it to General Longwei.

General Long Wei wiped the sweat off his forehead and threw it back.

The leader of the personal guards immediately picked up his coat and put it on General Longwei.

The set of works is smooth and flowing, fully demonstrating its value.

"General! General!"

At this moment, the city guard commander suddenly broke into the martial arts arena, looking extremely anxious.

Two bodyguards tried to block his way, but were pushed away by him and fell to the ground.

Upon seeing this, the leader of the royal guards was about to step forward to stop him, but was stopped by General Longwei who raised his hand.

"General, why are you so flustered? This is not like your style." General Long Wei sat down leisurely and signaled his guards to pour tea.

"General! I just received news that the young prince has dispatched the palace law enforcement team, and they are now searching the whole city for Zhengjun Duncan. I'm afraid we are in trouble this time!" The city guard general had a solemn look on his face.

He thought the young prince would not make a big fuss because of Zhengjun Duncan, but he did not expect that Zhengjun Duncan was missing for only one night and the young prince directly dispatched the palace law enforcement team.

You know, the last time the law enforcement team was fully mobilized was three years ago, when they wiped out the powerful Liu family.

More than 300 people from the Liu family were all killed, and no one survived! - Ton

Interception

Li Guanglong’s fingers gently stroked the ornate box, the chill of its silken surface seeping into his fingertips, yet it could not mask the damp sweat pooling in his palm. He glanced at Murong Xue, who was locked in a drinking contest with Batu. Murong was tilting back his head, draining a large bowl of amber-colored liquor. His Adam’s apple bobbed as he swallowed, and in the corner of his eye he cast a fleeting glance toward the copper kettle in the corner of the igloo. That was where they had hidden the prepared knockout drug --- brewed from a poisonous herb of the icefields that gave off a sweet aroma. Once mixed into strong liquor, it was nearly impossible to detect. “Leader Batu truly has a mighty capacity for drink!” Murong Xue slammed his empty bowl down on the table, sending ice shards scattering. “This ‘ice-burn’ liquor cuts like a blade. Ordinary men collapse after three bowls, yet you remain unshaken. Truly worthy of being called the eagle of the snowfields!” Batu r...

Frozen Wasteland

The ice sculptures shimmered with a cold light in the biting wind, the soldiers’ twisted faces sealed inside the crystalized frost, as if still crying out from the agony of being frozen alive. Li Guanglong stared at those figures, his Adam’s apple rolling a few times as he forced down the tremor in his chest. He raised a hand to rub his still-stiff arm. The spot that had been swept by the white mist earlier was still faintly bruised with purplish-blue, the chill seeming to seep deep into his very bones. “Your Highness, that spirit deer carries a poisonous cold beyond imagination.” Wan Zhong leaned on his blade as he walked over, the wound on his lone arm having split open again from the cold. Blood seeped through the bandages, dripping scarlet dots onto the snow. He gazed toward where the deer had vanished, his eyes full of dread. “We’d best hold our camp steady for now, and not recklessly provoke the creatures of this island again.” Li Guanglong nodded silently. His earlier ...

Seeking Medicine for a Father

When Li Weimin’s decree was issued, reactions across the factions varied. At that moment, Li Wenxing was in his study, weighing the pros and cons of the recent trip to Southern Frontier. Although he hadn’t stood out much, compared to Li Guanglong and Li Juntang, he was still the more capable one. But this minor advantage clearly wasn’t enough to change the overall outcome. Just then, Qian Jin rushed in and reported, “Your Highness! A message from the palace --- His Majesty’s condition has worsened, and he has only a short time left. He has issued a special decree: any royal family member who can journey to Penglai Island and retrieve the elixir will become the future crown prince!” “Future crown prince?” Hearing this, Li Wenxing’s spirits lifted immediately. But soon after, he frowned. He had, of course, heard of Penglai Island --- but only in legends. Whether it truly existed in the East Sea, and whether it held any elixir that could extend life, remained unknown. ...
