Chapter 673 Frozen
"What is it?" Ye Qing'an asked Yi Moxu as she hurried towards that direction.
"Hidden weapons and sleeping pills."
"Although it is an extremely simple method, it is effective."
The three of them rushed to the outside of the secret room. The door was covered with ice and snow, a vast expanse of white, making it impossible to see what was inside.
Gu Duo used his spiritual power to sense the situation inside and then nodded: "Fortunately, Liu Enze is still inside. It seems he's been drugged..."
Ye Qing'an nodded, raised his hand, and placed it on the ice door, where the ice layer grew thicker and thicker.
Gu Duo frowned: "Liu Enze is frozen."
Ye Qing'an responded and used ice to completely freeze the secret room.
Gu Duo looked up at Ye Qing'an and said, "Now that we've frozen him, what are we going to do? Are we just going to put him in this ice?"
"But I still have questions I want to ask him."
Yi Moxu shook his head: "Not yet?"
Gu Duo looked at Yi Moxu with a cold face: "Not now? What do you mean? You weren't lying to me all along, were you? Just to get me to do things for you?"
Yi Moxu glanced at Gu Duo, her face expressionless: "Liu Enze is Night Enchantress."
“Night Demon can bewitch and control people, and can weave illusions. The reason we use this method to deal with Liu Enze is because we know we can’t face him directly. Once we face him, we are very likely to fall into his trap and be controlled by him instead,” Ye Qing’an explained to Yi Moxu.
"For now, we can only leave him here to make sure he can't do anything wrong. After that, we'll investigate the secrets of the Nightshade race and find a way to control Liu Enze."
"Once we find a way to control Liu Enze, we can release him from inside."
Ye Qing'an looked up at Gu Duo: "Before that, I think it would be best for General Gu not to act rashly. After all, the Night Enchantress's illusions and bewitching techniques are not just empty words."
Gu Duo pursed his lips and remained silent, only pausing his gaze on the ice for a moment. He felt somewhat irritated. The real reason he had been dwelling on for so many years, the reason he had ended up in this situation, was right in front of him, but he was helpless.
Gu Duo took a deep breath, his gaze darkening.
Yi Moxu narrowed his eyes: "There's always a way. I've already sent people to the palace to investigate the underground palace you mentioned. We'll have news soon."
"If General Gu is not in a hurry, he can wait here in Anzhi City. General Gu has been out of the light of day for a long time, and he is probably not very clear about the current situation of the world. General Gu can take this time to learn more about it."
Gu Duo snorted softly, and after a long while said, "Of course I want it. I have to guard this place."
At least, he personally witnessed the black smoke transform into Liu Enze, and he also smelled the scent, which was indeed the same scent he had smelled in the underground palace more than ten years ago that night.
Regardless of what role Liu Enze played in this, it must have been related to him in some way.
"Shall we head out now?"
"I'm not going out." Gu Duo pursed his lips. "I'll stay here and guard Liu Enze."
"Ok?"
Ye Qing'an and Yi Moxu exchanged a glance, both of them looking somewhat surprised.
Yi Moxu's gaze fell on Gu Duo's face. Seeing the determination in Gu Duo's eyes, he remained silent for a moment before saying, "That's fine too. Then General Gu, you can stay here and guard the place."
"I've sent a few men down here to keep the general company. If the general needs anything, he can tell them, and they will prepare it for him."
Ye Qing'an followed Yi Moxu outside. Ye Qing'an frowned slightly: "Gu Duo now believes that Liu Enze is Ye Mei, and the smell of that smoke should indeed be the smell of the underground palace in Gu Duo's memory."
"Ah."
"I think Gu Duo really wants to dig Liu Enze out of that ice block and ask him what exactly happened more than ten years ago."
"Do you think Gu Duo might secretly take Liu Enze out for questioning while we're not around?"
Yi Moxu shook his head: "It shouldn't be. Although Gu Duo's soul has been separated from his body for more than ten years, he is still a general at heart. He knows better than anyone what the consequences would be if Liu Enze were released and something went wrong..."
Although Ye Qing'an had not had much contact with Gu Duo, she had gained some understanding of his personality.
“That’s true.” Ye Qing’an nodded: “I tried to probe twice before, but Gu Duo has not given a straight answer about what happened at the Gu family and in Mingyue Kingdom.”
"Although he deeply resented what had happened over the years, he had been patient and wary of us lying or trying to trick him into revealing information."
Yi Moxu lowered his eyes and sneered: "Perhaps you still think that there are hidden reasons for what happened back then. Yi Yunkui must also have his own difficulties in dealing with the things that have happened over the years."
Yi Moxu turned his head and glanced in that direction: "Only when the truth and facts are truly presented to him will he believe it."
Ye Qing'an nodded and lowered her voice: "You want to win Gu Duo over?"
"Hmm." Yi Moxu chuckled. "Of course we want to. Go ask around on this continent, how many countries wouldn't want to keep Gu Duo under their control?"
"Even when Gu Duo was mentally unstable and his soul had left his body, countless people were vying for him. How much more so now, when he is clear-headed and has experienced many things and matured."
"And as I said before, Gu Duo harbors a secret. This secret concerns the fate of the world. Gu Duo either dies, or if he lives, he can only be in my hands."
Upon hearing Yi Moxu's words, Ye Qing'an couldn't help but click her tongue softly.
"Your words are indeed resounding: either die, or live, and be left only in your hands?"
"nature."
After Yi Moxu finished speaking, he waved behind him. Ye Qing'an turned around and saw a dark shadow crawling over: "How did it go when I asked you to investigate the underground palace in the palace?"
The dark figure blinked: "Perhaps there really is an underground palace within the Siyou Kingdom's royal palace."
"Huh? It really exists?"
"Yes." The shadowy figure nodded. "I followed Yi Yun Kui in the palace for a while and found that he would suddenly disappear from time to time."
"Disappeared suddenly?"
The shadowy figure nodded: "It must be a summoning spell or something else. He was gone for most of the night, and nobody knew he left or where he went."
"Furthermore, I carefully examined all the places in Yiyun Kui's palace and found that there were several places in the palace that seemed to be empty."
"Even if it's not an underground palace, it's at least some kind of secret room. If we get the chance, we can go and investigate it properly."
