A Cutie Spoiled by Her Seven Uncles-Chapter 814 - 731: Young Hero Yun_2

"Deputy General Wang! I am Yun Kuo, the cousin of your Princess. I have a letter here, written personally by your General Dugu. I have come to deliver it."

Upon hearing Yun Kuo’s words, Deputy General Wang couldn’t help but think of the young man they had once seen from a distance on Wangwu Mountain.

Moreover, later, Divine Hunter Ji had mentioned to their General that the person was his cousin!

"So you are Yun Kuo, the cousin of Divine Hunter Ji! Forgive my rudeness, where is the letter?"

As Deputy General Wang spoke, he motioned for people to withdraw first, waiting for Yun Kuo to dismount from the back of the dragon!

Once Yun Kuo came down, he saw Deputy General Wang shivering in his thin attire and frowned.

"Have you not prepared winter clothing?"

Deputy General Wang replied with some embarrassment, "To be honest, our purpose on this journey was to protect His Majesty during a quick inspection of Yunhang and then return to the capital immediately. It was later that we learned His Majesty had gone out to sea.

That’s why..."

Deputy General Wang gave an awkward smile, took the letter from Yun Kuo, and began to read it.

After reading it, his expression changed drastically.

"What is it? What did your General say? You don’t look too well!"

Yun Kuo, born on Yunzhou Island and having no dealings with the imperial military, didn’t realize that by asking Deputy General Wang such questions, he was probing military secrets.

"Young Hero Yun, there’s something I’m not sure how to handle, and I was hoping to consult you on it!"

With these words from Deputy General Wang, his trusted aides couldn’t help but glance at Yun Kuo. This person had only announced his identity as the Princess’s cousin, and now Deputy General Wang was already currying favor. It’s really impressive how one person’s rise can benefit even the dogs and chickens around them!"

The others inwardly thought with dissatisfaction, feeling that Deputy General Wang was no different from others, fawning and opportunistic!

Yun Kuo and Deputy General Wang, naturally unaware of the others’ thoughts.

"Please speak, Deputy General Wang."

"I must ask, Young Hero Yun, were the people on Wangwu Mountain, who were assimilated by witch power, restored to their senses by you?"

"Indeed. As long as I help disperse the witch power from their bodies, they’ll be fine.

"

Hearing this, Deputy General Wang and his trusted aides were elated, a look of joy appearing on their faces.

"What is it? Could it be that there are assimilated people here too?"

Seeing their reaction, Yun Kuo asked in speculation.

"Yes! Here indeed..."

"Report!"

Deputy General Wang was interrupted midway by someone, a soldier from the scout team he had sent into the city to investigate!

"How is it?"

Seeing someone from the scout team, Deputy General Wang hurriedly inquired.

"Returning to Deputy General Wang, we’ve checked it all out. Most of the townspeople in the city are like this, all becoming assimilated, and we haven’t found the Grand General!"

"A city of assimilated people?"

Deputy General Wang was panicked.

Yun Kuo was stunned.

"How could there be so many assimilated people?"

Yun Kuo asked.

"We don’t know either!

"Does your General know about this? Has he given instructions in the letter?

Telling you what to do next?"

Yun Kuo asked again.

"In the letter, our General said that we should hasten to the foot of Gu Feng Mountain, send him a signal, and wait until midnight to receive them!"

"Where is Gu Feng Mountain?"

Yun Kuo further inquired, recalling he had agreed with Xiaosuisui that he would go rescue him.

That place, Xiaosuisui mentioned, was also a solitary peak!

"Bring the map." Deputy General Wang quickly called out to his trusted aide.

The aide promptly stepped forward, spreading out the map for them to see.

"Deputy General Wang is here."

Yun Kuo memorized the route, then said to Deputy General Wang, "I’ll go check out the situation first. You guys figure out how to tie up those who have already been assimilated, and I’ll help disperse their witch power when I return."

Having said that, he mounted Xiaoqing’s back again!

Then Xiaoqing carried him off to find Xiaosuisui.

After Yun Kuo left, the people around Deputy General Wang couldn’t help but look up at the sky, with expressions on their faces as if they were dreaming.

"Isn’t it amazing, a dragon flying through the sky carrying someone, what kind of ability does it take to subdue a dragon as a mount!"

"What’s that? Have you forgotten how our General and Divine Hunter Ji were riding a Phoenix a few days ago?

The Phoenix, Divine Bird, and this Cyan Dragon must not lag behind!"

"Stop chattering, get to work quickly, waiting for Young Hero Yun to bring back news from Gu Feng Mountain!"

Deputy General Wang shouted, then led everyone to get busy.

He himself led a team to have others split up, looking for ropes, food, and clothing, while binding those who had been assimilated.

"How many have been bound so far?

How many are clear-minded?

How many assimilated people have we yet to find?"

Deputy General Wang looked at the group of mindless assimilated people tied up in front of him, his heart worried. General Dugu had said that if they could return to Yunhang, they should go to Gu Feng Mountain to respond accordingly.

In the current situation, how could he leave here in peace with his people?

As Deputy General Wang contemplated his worries, he saw a beggar sneaking around, peeking towards them.

"Who goes there?"

Deputy General Wang shouted loudly, startling the person to a shiver, then the person stood up straight.

"Looks like a normal person."

"A normal person? It’s rare to see someone his age still being a normal person!"

All along, the ones they bound were assimilated people generally twenty-three or older, with some as young as fourteen or fifteen, but those were few.

It was very rare for someone twenty-three or older to still maintain their consciousness!

"Who are you? Sneaking around here doing what?"

Two soldiers approached, drawing their swords and placing them at the person’s neck.

"Please, no need for that, officer. I don’t think you all are soldiers of Yunhang. Might I ask if you are subordinates of General Dugu?"

Upon hearing the question from the other party, Deputy General Wang and others couldn’t help but be puzzled, "That’s right, who are you? How do you recognize us?"

"You really are the subordinates of General Dugu! It’s me!" the person exclaimed with great delight at the words, hurriedly pushing aside the long hair covering their face.
