Chapter 263: Southern State’s army!
Cao Bao and the others were kept in a secret room
These royal knights never thought that they would end up in a place like this before!
However, with the status of a knight from the royal army and also with the support of the great scholar, they could at least keep their lives.
Even if Chu Tian’s courage filled the sky, he would not dare kill these royal knights.Even if Chu Tian dared to move against them, he would not dare move against the great scholar.
Gu Qianqiu’s name was well known in the Southern Summer Country.Even if the normal family’s children did not know who the Eight Marquises were, they would still know the great scholar’s name.
Gu Qianqiu had wandered in various other countries for twenty years, bringing back large amounts of books for the Southern Summer Country.Over half of the books in the eight state’s schools had been brought back from a large kingdom by the great scholar.
If it wasn’t for the great scholar’s contributions, how would there be so many well known scholars?
If it wasn’t for the great scholar laying the foundations for the country, where would the rich merchants gain their wealth from?
Gu Qianqiu by himself had raised skills of Southern Summer Country’s symbol masters, alchemists, and weapon refiners by a level.Gu Qianqiu’s contribution to the kingdom was not something a single marquis could match. Although he was not nobility, he actually exceeded nobility.
Even the mighty Southern Summer King had to give him respect, personally granting him the great scholar title!
For many years, Gu Qianqiu has been the peak for many Southern Summer scholars!
The knowledge of the great scholar was the peak of the kingdom.Every time there was a natural or man made disaster, Gu Qianqiu would rush to those regions to solve it.Every time there was a hard to solve problem, Gu Qianqiu would find a solution in the end.
Whoever went against Gu Qianqiu wasn’t just going against the kingdom.
They would become the enemies of every scholar and citizen in the Southern Summer Country.Knowledge came with friendship, so just the saliva of the people would be enough to drown someone eight-ten times.
“Pei!”Cao Bao spat out the cloth covering his mouth, “Everyone just hold on a bit, these fools do not know that the great scholar has personally come to Central State.As long as the great scholar reveals himself, how could these villains act so rampantly? Just wait and we will definitely be able to get them back for this!”
Before he even finished speaking.
The sounds of fighting came from outside and in less than five minutes, two people with tied up hands were brought in.They were the royal knight’s vice leader Li Hu and the other one was a simple grey robed old man.
Cao Bao’s eyes almost popped out, “Great scholar!”
Gu Qianqiu was tightly bound up and had suffered several hits, with his face swelling up.He looked like he was in an awkward situation, not carrying the dignity of the great scholar at all!
Were the people of Central State crazy?
Could they not recognize this person was the great scholar!
The respected number one scholar of Southern Summer was given this kind of treatment!
“Do you not know what you are doing!”Cao Bao and the others shouted in righteous indignation, “Does Central State want to incur the anger of the entire world?”
“Cao Bao, don’t speak so much!”
Gu Qianqiu sat up, but he was not filled with anger.Rather his face was depressed like he deserved what he received.
“This girl is truly ruthless, almost breaking these old bones to pieces!”Gu Qianqiu looked over at Chen Bingyu, “I know that you are Chu Tian’s bodyguard.Where is Chu Tian, I want to talk to him!”
Gu Qianqiu did not know how to describe his feelings at this moment.
Pleasant surprise?Or depression?
No one would have thought that this self proclaimed foreign merchant, mister Yu was actually Central State’s Chu Tian!
If he knew this earlier, with his Gu Qianqiu’s courage, he never would have dared to bring people to Central State to cause trouble for Chu Tian!
Gu Qianqiu had only spent a few days with Chu Tian in Qing State and although he was a little wild, Gu Qianqiu was certain that he was not a great villain or anyone that cared about fame.The report that Imperial City sent, there had to be a mistake with it!
Pa da!
A strong searchlight was lit up.
Gu Qianqiu narrowed his eyes and several dark figures moved in front of him.They saw a chair being placed down and a person sitting down, crossing his legs over the other.Because of the light behind him, they couldn’t see the person’s appearance, but a familiar voice rang out, “Say it.Who are you and how many people are there!”
“You can kill us, but we won’t talk!”Cao Bao flew into a rage. As the respected royal knight captain, he was being interrogated like a criminal, “Just kill me already!”
“You really have guts, I like people like that.”Chu Tian waved his hand to Old Fifth Yu, “Take him to the side and beat him!”
Several Giant Shark Gang members came forward to pull Cao Bao to the side and beat him.
They really dared to hit him!
Was Central State seized by bandits?
“Stop, stop, I’ll say it!”Gu Qianqiu quickly said, “I’ll tell you whatever you want to know.”
“Then say it already!”
“These people are the Griffin Knights of the royal palace, taking orders from the royal clan.They were sent to Central State, being led by this old man, with a total of a hundred people. The other people and griffin mounts are preparing to coordinate from outside the city.”
Cao Bao revealed a look of disbelief, “Great scholar, you……”
Where did the great scholar’s iron will go?How could he give up so easily?
Chu Tian then asked, “Just your group?”
“No, the royal knights are the vanguard.”Gu Qianqiu did not hide anything, “The Southern State’s Western Marquis has been sent to Central State, personally bringing your excellency to the Imperial City.”
Chu Tian’s nose went crooked from anger, “Whose vicious idea is it to send the Western Marquis to bring me back to the Imperial City?More like sending me to heaven!”
