Chapter 1041: Slight oversight

This scene was so strange that Cang Wu doubted his own eyes for a moment, and the King of Ji simply thought he was hallucinating.

Just as Cang Wu wanted to take another look, several invisible and intangible spider threads drifted down from the void and hung directly on Cang Wu and the King of Ji.

Cang Wu's face changed drastically. The spider threads did not exist. The reason for this feeling was that their act of breaking into the formation had already been stained with cause and effect, and these spider threads were actually fishing lines.

Cang Wu had never seen such a high and unpredictable fishing line. The next step would inevitably be a world-shaking strike coming along the fishing line!

Cang Wu did not need to see it with his own eyes, and knew from common sense that he could never take this strike, so he had to find geographical advantage. And at this moment, the best geographical advantage in the Ji Kingdom was within the palace. Cang Wu picked up the King of Ji and disappeared from the spot instantly! After several flashes in the void, he rushed into the palace in a thrilling manner.

At the same moment, Little Wei Yuan, who was sitting in meditation, suddenly opened his eyes. He clearly perceived the arrival of Cang Wu and the King of Ji. This feeling was exceptionally clear, so clear that it felt as if a pair of eyes were looking down from a high place, with a panoramic view.

And it was not just "seeing," but also a clear "locking on." Little Wei Yuan felt that any attack he made at this time could accurately land on the two of them.

Little Wei Yuan did not hesitate and immediately sacrificed the small sword transformed from the fourth cave heaven. However, the small sword was transformed by the cave heaven, which was actually incomparably heavy and carried several floating islands, so it was as heavy as an ordinary person wielding a weapon of over a hundred catties, with infinite power but slow to use.

Before Little Wei Yuan could fully sacrifice this sword, Cang Wu and the King of Ji disappeared instantly like cats whose tails had been stepped on, leaving Little Wei Yuan petrified in place, not knowing why.

Little Wei Yuan had the great formation to cover up, so he felt that the possibility of exposure was not high. Even if he was exposed, the power of this sword was far less than the sword that beheaded the immortal with billions of human luck that day, at most it would only cause minor injuries to the opponent.

But the immortal was in a posture of fleeing in a panic, which instead left Little Wei Yuan confused. Was his sword really that powerful? Could it be that he had habitually underestimated his own ferocity again recently?

The immortal fled far away, but Little Wei Yuan did not dare to be careless. Now this immortal had begun to walk in the mortal world and could sneak attack at any time. Little Wei Yuan prepared to withdraw the troops outside first and began to implement the second step of the big plan: attracting the enemy to the Guantun defense line.

Returning to the Ji Kingdom palace, Cang Wu's face was gloomy, and he said, "There really is a great power secretly obstructing! But I remember clearly telling you to issue an edict to abandon Guantun County and no longer include it in the territory of the Ji Kingdom? Why do I see today that this Guantun County is still entangled with the cause and effect of the Ji Kingdom and is still part of the territory of the Ji Kingdom?"

The King of Ji was also puzzled: "Gu issued the edict half a month ago, how could it not have been done?"

Cang Wu gritted his teeth and said, "Investigate! Investigate overnight! Investigate to the end!"

A moment later, a large number of Embroidered Uniform Division spies rushed out of the government office, rushed to all parts of the royal city, dragged hundreds of officials of all sizes out of their beds, took them back to the Embroidered Uniform Division, and interrogated them overnight, checking link by link. By the time the sky was not yet bright, the results had already been found.

It turned out that the drafting, stamping, and issuing of the imperial edict were generally fine, but there were many chores in the palace, and it happened that the rebel army defeated Xiao Jingyuan, and the court was in a mess, so the imperial edict was one day late when it was sent to the Ministry of Rites. At this time, the rebel army was unstoppable, the Ministry of Rites was panicked, and they needed to prepare for the New Year's sacrifice, which was busy and complicated, and the national treasury was empty, and they had to quarrel with the Ministry of Revenue every day, so it was delayed for another day.

In fact, it was still normal here, and the delay was excusable. But at the last link, when registering and formally removing Guantun County from the territory, the main official of the Ministry of Rites in charge of registration received the bad news of his father's death the day before and left the capital to return to his hometown to observe filial piety.

During this chaotic time, the Minister of Rites only sent a letter to the Ministry of Personnel, requesting the selection of a replacement, and then put the matter aside.

And the Ministry of Personnel's selection of people was naturally not that fast, and it was possible to drag it on for a few more months. So until now, from Cang Wu and the King of Ji to the Minister of Rites, everyone thought that Guantun County was no longer in the territory of the Ji Kingdom. No one could have imagined that the whole thing was stuck at the last step, the smallest link, and Guantun County was not removed in time.

The interrogation results came out, Cang Wu was so angry that his face turned blue, and the King of Ji immediately ordered all officials below the Minister of Rites to be imprisoned, and even sent a thousand-mile fast horse to the hometown to capture the official who went home to observe filial piety, wanting to bring him back to be beheaded together. ===== CHAPTER 1042 =====
