Wei Cang looked around with a solemn expression and took out a section of broken rope.

Yuan Gu took a look and was a little puzzled. “This is…”

“I went to see how they were moving the stones this morning and found this on a cliff that protruded from the mountain path.

“Not only are there broken ropes, but there are also drag marks.

“I followed the back path of the cliff and checked along the way. I discovered that there’s a path on the cliff that leads to this Divine Dragon Village.”

Yuan Gu’s expression turned serious. “Governor, you mean that the fallen boulders were pushed down by these villagers?”

Wei Cang nodded. “It’s not impossible. In short, let’s move now in case anything happens.”

He pointed into the room. “Is the princess still asleep?”

Yuan Gu’s expression changed. “Her Highness just woke up and went out to play with the wolf cub.”

Anger immediately surged in Wei Cang’s eyes. “Didn’t I tell you to take good care of Her Highness? Yuan Gu, you—!”

Yuan Gu hurriedly bowed and cupped his hands. “Her Highness doesn’t allow this subordinate to follow her. This subordinate deserves to die. Governor, please punish me!”

“What’s the use of punis.h.i.+ng you?! Hurry up and send someone to find the princess!”

As Wei Cang spoke, he turned around and was about to walk down the hill to look for Gu Nuo’er.

Yuan Gu and the guards originally wanted to follow.

Suddenly!

One of the guards’ legs went limp and he suddenly fell to the ground. Not long later, he fainted.

Right on the heels of that, the other guards fell one after another!

Yuan Gu also pressed his forehead, his footsteps unsteady. After staggering a few times, he fell heavily.

Wei Cang was shocked and reached out to support him.

“Yuan Gu!”

Yuan Gu pointed to the herbal tea that the villagers had just brought over.

“Governor… there’s… there’s a problem with the tea.”

Wei Cang completely understood that they had been tricked by these villagers with malicious intentions!

He gritted his teeth in regret. For the time being, he couldn’t care less about Yuan Gu and the others. He had to find Princess Yaoguang as soon as possible!

Wei Cang drew his sharp sword and turned to walk out.

However, a group of villagers who had been guarding nearby rushed over with hammers and long sabers in their hands.

There were 60 to 70 people trapping Wei Cang in the courtyard.

w.a.n.g Wu, the villager who had led the way for him previously, stood at the front with a disdainful gaze.

“After plundering them, we can buy you a few wives for you guys with the money!”

The other men immediately let out excited cries.

“Buy wives! Give birth to children! Give birth to a girl and give her to the Divine Dragon as a sacrifice!”

Wei Cang was furious. “Are you guys crazy?! You actually used living people as sacrifices?”

w.a.n.g Wu smiled sinisterly. “The Divine Dragon has protected us for many years. As long as we offer sacrifices, there will be more gold under the big tree in the Divine Dragon Temple.

“We’ll take the gold and go elsewhere to buy girls. If Lord Dragon G.o.d is happy, he’ll reward us more.

“The girl you brought over has delicate skin and tender flesh. Lord Dragon G.o.d will definitely like her.”

Wei Cang’s eyes almost popped out.

The princess was in danger!

He immediately waved his sword and fought with most of the villagers.

As for Gu Nuo’er, she was walking in the courtyard of the Divine Dragon Temple.

This place was away from the sun and was a little cold.

The redness on the child’s fair face had already faded a lot.

Her big eyes looked around curiously.

The courtyard was not big. There was a big tree in the middle that grew crookedly and its leaves were not lush.

There were dense bushes around the corner with red wild fruits growing inside.

If they went further, they would see a room with an open door.

Gu Nuo’er could vaguely see candlesticks, incense burners, and a memorial tablet with a gold and black background.

But the strangest thing was…

“Elder Brother Siming, why is there a well in that room?”
