“Yes! Thus, right now we can’t do anything. We can only guess that his Majesty is hooked on gambling, and once he gets hooked, we have no way of knowing when he’ll come out, it might be very soon or it might take many days!” The subordinate somewhat helplessly said.

The official fell silent and then replied: “Is there any other way to open this door? It’s fine even if you have to destroy it.”

“There is a way, but it’ll take several days. This room is specially reinforced and has alchemy defenses. Even if we find an alchemist to open it, it’ll take several days for him to find a way.” The subordinate said.

“Several days, we can’t even wait for several hours!” His official wrinkled his eyebrows. “Do you know what kind of person is gambling with your king?”

“That, we don’t know either. We only know it’s a youth, a very weird youth, and he met the king on the streets. Afterwards, he was ‘invited’ by the king here to gamble. We don’t know most of the details either.” The subordinate shook his head, and he emphasized “invited” as he was saying.

It was very clear that this odd youth didn’t accept that invitation out of his own volition!

“What should we do now….” That official now had a headache and after a while he gritted his teeth and went out!

He had already decided to place the blame for this failure completely on King Gaofei, at least that way they could evade some responsibility for not completing their task.

Right now he wasn’t hoping for success, but to not be blamed for failure!

“Marshal Ye, terribly sorry, King Gaofei currently is unable to come out. We can only apologize!” That official apologetically said.

“No problem, we’ll take our leave here!” Ye Chengtian cupped his hands and said goodbye. If they didn’t leave, what else would they do? They were people with prestige and they weren’t the ones asking for a favor.

“We’ll take our leave as well!” Seventh brother and everyone else also followed suit and prepared to leave.

And at this time something happened that made everyone stop in their tracks…

“Let him go or I’ll give you a taste of ice!” Ye Lanyu’s voice traveled over. This made everyone very nervously look towards where Ye Lanyu’s voice came from and start assuming a defensive formation.

If Ye Lanyu was shouting for someone’s release then someone among them must have been captured. That might mean that they had entered a trap.

Perhaps the Thirteen Kingdoms Alliance was being brave and making amove on them!

However Ye Chengtian and company discovered that the representatives of the Thirteen Kingdom Alliance with them looked completely caught off guard by the circumstances.

Did the other side keep even their own people in the dark or was this unrelated to them?

The answer very quickly became clear…..

Everybody saw a women wearing leather armor kidnapping Zhen Xiaoyan and pulling her over to her side and Ye Lanyu and Princess Qi were closely following behind, with Ye Yi and company behind them as well.

“Warrior?” The women’s leather armor was often worn by warriors and provided a certain amount of protection, yet didn’t obstruct movement.

This armor was mostly worn by mercenaries and the soldiers of ordinary clans, because apart from the above attributes, it had another more important trait, that was that its cost-to-effectiveness ratio was very high!
