Wife, you didn't really drug me, did you?

Chapter 499 The Siam Incident, Fang Guozhen's Peril!

Let's go, let's go back and take a look.

When Chen Jie heard that his third brother from Shenlong Island overseas had sent people, he immediately became anxious. He was worried about his third brother, but he didn't expect that something had actually happened.

Chen Jie rode fast, so he told Zhao Ya and left first.

Zhao Ya rode in the car while Zhao Ya drove slowly behind.

He rushed back to his city lord's mansion and asked Xiao Hu, "Where is he?"

Xiao Hu said, "Zhang Wuxia from Wudang is with me in the reception room!"

Chen Jie was taken aback, and then said, "Zhang Cuishan? Could it be Fang Susu from the Divine Dragon Sect who has come?"

"Wow, you're really amazing, big brother. You guessed who it was right away."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie chuckled and said, "Hehe, otherwise why would Zhang Cuishan accompany me?"

As Chen explained, he rushed over. As soon as he entered the reception room, he saw Liu Futong and Peng Yingyu, who had also come after hearing the news.

Seeing Fang Susu crying, he offered her some words of comfort.

Beside Fang Susu, Zhang Wuxia from Wudang was very attentive, serving tea and water to our Miss Fang Susu, looking like a very warm and caring man.

Chen Jie entered the room at this moment. Fang Susu looked at Chen Jie, whose face was full of surprise. He asked, "Miss Susu, what's wrong with you?"

Fang Susu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and looked at Chen Jie, saying, "Fourth Uncle, please save my father!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie was somewhat stunned. He knew that Fang Susu had never called him Fourth Uncle before, and the fact that she was calling him Fourth Uncle today meant that things had gotten out of control.

Thinking this, Peng Yingyu said, "Fang girl, everyone's almost here. Just tell me what happened."

After saying this, Fang Susu wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and said, "Uncles, my father is trapped in Siam!"

Ok?
Upon hearing this, everyone in the room was stunned. Chen Jie and Liu Futong still remembered this incident involving Siam, because when they parted ways in Dadu, Fang Guozhen hurriedly received a message that the spices shipped by their Shenlong Sect had been seized in Siam.

That's why Fang Guozhen left in a hurry. After arriving at the Divine Dragon Sect, he took Fang Zheng and Vice Sect Leader Lei Ming with him and five thousand Divine Dragon Sect members and headed directly to Siam to study its spice problem.

He never returned. Only a few days ago, Fang Susu, who stayed behind on Shenlong Island, received a message saying that a mutiny had occurred in Siam and a group of foreign pirates had been captured by Siam. Upon further questioning, Fang Susu heard that the pirates were flying the Azure Dragon Flag.

It should be noted that the Divine Dragon Sect is the only sect in the entire South China Sea that flies the Azure Dragon Flag.

Therefore, Fang Susu felt that something must have happened in Siam. Being skilled and daring, she personally led a group to Siam. As a result, on an island near Siam, they found a large number of Siamese people searching for pirates.

Fang Susu found one of their former members of the Divine Dragon Cult in the crowd.

The Shenlong Cult member told Fang Susu that after they arrived, the King of Siam initially treated them with great hospitality, saying that everything was a misunderstanding. However, they never expected that the food would be poisoned.

Many of our brothers were taken down as a result.

However, our leader was still very alert and did not attend the Siamese king's banquet. At this time, their national advisor came out and said something to the leader, and the two started fighting. The national advisor was quite strong and was able to fight the leader to a standstill.

However, the King of Siam had set up an army formation near the palace. The royal advisor used the strength of the army formation to fight the leader. But in the end, the number of Siamese soldiers increased, and the leader had no choice but to escape into the nearby Siamese mountains.

Who would have thought that they would fall directly into the Siamese royal advisor's treacherous scheme and be trapped deep in the mountains.

Upon seeing this, Young Master Fang Zheng and Vice Master Lei Ming immediately led us to break through the encirclement. However, only a small number of our brothers managed to escape, while Young Master Fang Zheng and Vice Master Lei Ming were captured by the people of Siam.

After learning the news, Fang Susu wanted to investigate further, but she found nothing and even got herself into trouble because of her accent and skin color.

She was pursued by Siamese warships, which even sank her ship at one point, but she was eventually rescued by a small boat.

She never expected that the small boat had such a history; it was actually a refugee boat, and the people on board were descendants of the royal family of Siam.

Fang Susu knew him because she had met him before. Their Divine Dragon Sect did spice business overseas, and one of their main suppliers was the old King Bashar Thong of Siam.

The Dragon Cult promised the old king that as long as he could provide a stable supply of spices, he would become a follower of the old king.

On that occasion, Fang Susu insisted on going, so she went with Fang Guozhen to meet the old king. At the banquet, the old king introduced his son, Zhao Fachai, to Fang Guozhen.

The one who rescued Fang Susu at sea was none other than the old king's son, Zhao Fachai.

Through Chao Fat Chai's words, Fang Susu learned the specifics of the Siamese kingdom. It turned out that the old king, Pasathong, had died of illness a month earlier, and the throne should have been passed directly to his son, the sixteen-year-old Chao Fat Chai.

Unexpectedly, his uncle, the old king's brother Basali, launched a coup and seized the throne of Siam.

They also seized all the spice trade documents issued by the old king at the time, as well as Zhao Fachai.

Just when Zhao Facai thought he would be under house arrest until death, or that Basali would secretly execute him once the situation in the country became more stable, his bodyguard told him that the king's best brother, Mr. Fang from the East, had arrived.

Then came the banquet, where Fang Guozhen fought with the Siamese royal advisor, causing chaos in the entire palace. At this time, Zhao Fachai's assassins were rescued by him and escaped from Siam.

The reason Fang Susu saw so many people going to capture the pirates was actually a pretext. The main reason was that the usurper, Basali, was afraid that Zhao Fachai, the heir to the throne, would escape, so he sent a large army to capture them everywhere.

Upon hearing Fang Susu's words, everyone present wore a solemn expression. Fang Guozhen was actually trapped overseas, which was not a good thing.

Fang Susu came here seeking help.

Chen Jie listened to Fang Susu's words and said, "Well, don't rush. By the way, did you bring the Siamese prince you mentioned?"

Upon hearing this, Fang Susu said, "They're here. They were just here a moment ago. They must have been too hungry. Someone called them to eat."

Chen Jie said, "Well, don't rush. Let's call the person out and ask them for details first."

Upon hearing this, Fang Susu immediately agreed, and Chen Jie then sent someone to fetch the Siamese prince.

At this moment, in the back courtyard of the city lord's mansion, a woman with slightly dark skin and a face resembling a woman, wearing a silk robe, loose trousers, and a headscarf, was clumsily eating the food in front of her with chopsticks.

Two burly men with darker skin stood beside him, holding the food handed to them by hand.

Seeing this, Rui Rui, who was secretly watching from the side, exclaimed in disbelief, "They're actually eating braised fish with their hands! Wow..."

As a foodie, Su Yunrui disliked these guys who ate in a barbaric manner. Only the guy who looked like a young lady was alright; although he wasn't very good with chopsticks, at least he didn't use his hands.

Seeing Rui Rui peeking around, Chen Jie's adopted son, Sun Yong, said, "Rui Rui, let's go quickly. This seems to be our godfather's guest. It's too impolite of us to keep looking like this."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunrui said, "Keep your voice down. Did you hear what they were saying? They were mumbling something."

Sun Yong said, "I don't know."

Do you know where they're from?

Sun Yong said, "From what they said, they seem to be Siamese."

"Siam? Where is Siam?"

Rui Rui asked, and Sun Yong replied, "I heard from my geography teacher that if you keep going south from here, you can reach Siam after passing the Baiyue Kingdom."

"That doesn't sound like it's that far?"

Su Yunrui said, and Wantong replied, "It sounds close, but it's actually tens of thousands of miles away. If you travel by land, you need to cross the Baiyue region, which is full of poisonous silt, and the Ten Thousand Mountains in the south. There's no time to get there."

"However, if we use sea freight, it will be much faster."

Su Yunrui said, "That really is quite far."

Su Yunrui thought for a moment and asked, "Are you sure they are from Siam?"

Sun Yong said, "I'm not sure what they said either. Hey, Rui Rui, what are you going to do?"

"Hey!"

Su Yunrui rushed out and shouted at the Siamese man who was eating diced meat with chopsticks.

This immediately alerted the two guards beside the young Siamese prince, who then placed their hands on the hilts of their swords.

However, the members of the Divine Dragon Cult who came with them said, "No, don't be impulsive. She is the sister of the local city lord. Please don't be impulsive, please don't be impulsive."

"Heiligu, Gematai!"

At this moment, the Siamese prince also spoke, looking at Su Yunrui and saying, "Are you talking to me?"

"Oh, you can speak our Han language?"

The young prince of Siam said, "Of course, we have always had business dealings with the Han people, and Chinese has always been a language that we in the royal court have to learn."

Su Yunrui said, "Haha, that's great! I don't have to listen to your chattering language anymore. By the way, they all say you're from Siam, is that true?"

“That’s right, I am the Crown Prince of Siam, my name is Chao Phraya. What about you?”

"Get rich early? Hahaha, your name is really interesting. My name is Su Yunrui, and I am my brother-in-law's sister."

"Brother-in-law?"

Zhao Facai frowned slightly, and Sun Yong came over at this moment and said, "Rui Rui, why are you telling him all this?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yunrui said, "I found him quite interesting, so I said a few words."

"We should go back to school."

Rui Rui said, "Studying all day is so boring, I want to chat with this guy who's getting rich early!"

Sun Yong said, "He's obviously not a good person. What good person would have a name like 'Get Rich Early'?" Rui Rui said, "Why are you saying that? That's how people in Siam name their children."

At this moment, Rui Rui walked up to Zhao Fachai and asked, "Zhao Fachai, what brings you to our Huangzhou Prefecture?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fachai said, "My kingdom has been usurped by my uncle, and I hope someone can help me."

"So you came to my brother-in-law. Well, that's a smart choice. There's nothing my brother-in-law can't handle."

After hearing Rui Rui's words, Zhao Fa guessed, "Yes, I also heard from the people of the Divine Dragon Sect that City Lord Chen is a powerful and capable person."

Rui Rui said, "Yes, that's right. My brother-in-law is such an amazing person. By the way, is your country the same as ours?"

Zhao Fachai shook his head and said, "Our place is not as prosperous as yours, with so many merchants and shops. Our houses are all very small."

"Our commerce is not as developed as yours. However, your ships are very small. We have large ships that are very tall. Standing under the ship is like looking at the rooftops of your houses."

"And we also have elephants there, which are very big, much bigger than the horses here."

Zhao Fa guessed, and Rui Rui's eyes widened in surprise. "An elephant!"

"I heard that thing has a long nose, is that true?"

"Yes, we use elephants like horses where we're from. They can pull a lot of goods, and we also use elephants in our wars..."

"Wow, that sounds like so much fun! I really want an elephant!"

Upon hearing this, Zhaofa guessed, "If it were before, you could have just given me one, but not now, because I can't go back to my country."

"It's alright, it's alright. Just wait for my brother-in-law to help you take the country back. There's really nothing my brother-in-law can't do."

Su Yunrui patted his chest and said, "Is your brother-in-law really that amazing?" Zhao Fachai looked at Su Yunrui and asked, "Is your brother-in-law really that capable?"

Su Yunrui said, "Of course. My brother-in-law is the most powerful person in the world. Not to mention your country, there is nothing my brother-in-law cannot do if he wants to."

"How about this, we've got a deal. If my brother-in-law can help you take your country back, you'll give me an elephant, okay?"

"That's no problem!"

Zhao Facai readily agreed, and Su Yunrui asked, "By the way, besides elephants, what else do you have there? I mean, delicious food?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Facai said, "There are many kinds of things. We have a lot of fresh fruits there, like coconuts, mangoes, and those fruits that smell a bit bad but taste very sweet."

"Really, I really want to try it!"

Su Yunrui was definitely a foodie, and couldn't help but drool. Zhao Fa guessed, "It's okay, when I return to my country, I'll have a caravan bring it to you. I'll send it to you along with the elephants."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunrui said, "Okay, okay, it's a deal."

Su Yunrui raised his palm, and Zhao Facai was taken aback at first, but then he also raised his palm, and the two of them slapped each other.

Having made an agreement, the two chatted about the customs and culture of their country, Siam, which piqued Su Yunrui's curiosity. Sun Yong, standing to the side, said directly, "We should go now. The teacher will tell my godmother about our skipping class soon!"

But Su Yunrui ignored him. After a while, footsteps sounded outside, and Chen Xiaohu walked in. He was surprised to see Rui Rui and said, "Rui Rui, what are you doing here? Aren't you in class?"

"Tiger Bro, I skipped class. Shh, don't tell my sister, or she'll definitely beat me up."

"What? Stir-fried pork with bamboo skewers?"

Tiger was taken aback and looked at Su Yunrui, who said, "It means hitting your hands with a ruler!"

As they were talking, Hu Zi said to Rui Rui, "Alright, even if I don't tell on you, you should go back to your studies. By the way, are you the little prince of Siam?"

Rui Rui said, "That's right, it's him. His name is Zao Facai!"

"Get rich early? What a weird name."

Chen Xiaohu muttered something to himself, then quickly added, "Alright, come with me, our city lord wants to see you!"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Fachai immediately stood up. At this moment, the two guards behind him stood up. Chen Xiaohu's eyes immediately fell on the guard whose hand was wrapped in bandages and whose waist was draped with a black knife.

Because he exuded a very strong power, Chen Xiaohu sensed it and realized that he should have the power of the middle stage of the Furnace Realm, which was about the same as his own strength.

When Zhao Facai saw Chen Xiaohu looking at Hei Ligu, he said, "This is my bodyguard, Hei Ligu, the former commander of the Kingdom's Imperial Guard."

Chen Xiaohu nodded slightly and said, "He's a very strong and muscular man."

After saying this, Chen Xiaohu led a few people towards the council hall of the city lord's mansion. Zhao Fa guessed nothing was wrong when they arrived.

But Hei Ligu stared wide-eyed in shock, a hint of horror on his face.

Because he could clearly sense three powerful auras of the Fusion God Realm in the room, especially the big monk and the middle-aged man sitting silently to the side.

The aura emanating from them was unlike anything he had ever sensed before, far surpassing even that of their strongest imperial advisor.

At this moment, Hei Ligu quietly tightened his grip on the hilt of his knife.

Chen Jie glanced at Hei Ligu's little movements, but didn't react much.

Instead, she turned to look at the sixteen-year-old boy in the lead. Although he was a boy, he had a particularly gentle feeling about him, giving the impression that he was not a man but a woman.

Little boy girl?
Chen Jie didn't know why such a word popped into his head, but if no one told him that this person was a man, or told him that she was a slightly dark-skinned girl, Chen Jie would believe it.

After all, this little prince does indeed have a rather effeminate appearance.

"Sawadikap".

Zhao Fa bowed to the people in the room. He didn't know who the city lord was. He thought it was Liu Futong, since he seemed the most respected among them. As for why it couldn't be Peng Yingyu, the little girl Rui Rui he had just met told him that the city lord was his brother-in-law. Since he was his brother-in-law, he shouldn't be a monk, right? After all, he had heard that Han people and monks couldn't marry, so this monk shouldn't be the city lord.

So he bowed directly to Liu Futong. Upon seeing him bow, Liu Futong asked, "What did he mean?"

At this moment, Fang Susu said, "He is greeting you."

"Greetings, Lord City Lord. I am Crown Prince Chao Fa Chai of the Kingdom of Siam."

Upon hearing this, Liu Futong said, "You've mistaken me for someone else. I'm not the city lord; he is."

Liu Futong pointed at Chen Jie, who looked at Zhao Fa and guessed, "Are you the little prince of Siam? I am Chen Jiu Si, the city lord of Huangzhou."

"Lord Chen!"

Zhao Fachai immediately put his hands together in a gesture of respect, and the two guards behind him also bowed.

Chen Jie said, "No need to be so polite, please take a seat."

As they were speaking, some people went down to prepare for their turn. Seeing this, Hei Ligu whispered to another guard, Gematai, "This Huangzhou City Lord is too powerful. There are at least three experts at the Fusion God Realm in this hall, and the auras of those two people are even stronger than our Imperial Preceptor."

Gematai whispered, "As expected of the Celestial Empire, Huangzhou Prefecture alone has so many experts. Unlike our Siam, we only have two people at the Fusion God Realm, and they are not as powerful as them."

Upon hearing this, Hei Ligu said, "Keep your voice down. Don't whisper in front of powerful people. If you anger them, things will get complicated."

Gematai said, "Yes, I know."

The two whispered conversation did not disturb Chen Jie and the others. At this moment, Chen Jie sat down opposite Zhao Fachai and said, "Crown Prince."

“Lord of the city, there’s no need to call me that. Just call me A-Cai.”

Although Zhao Fachai was young, he was very clever and spoke up directly. Upon hearing this, Chen Jie looked at him and said, "Alright, Achai, I already know what happened in your country. It's like this: the leader of the Divine Dragon Sect is my sworn brother. I want to know some things about him. I wonder if you know anything about him?"

Upon hearing this, Achai said, "So, Uncle Fang is your elder brother. Uncle Fang must have fallen into the Grand Preceptor's trap and was lured to the back mountain of our kingdom. There is a demon-trapping formation left by Bodhidharma there, which is a forbidden area of ​​our kingdom. Uncle Fang must have been lured into this demon-trapping formation by the Grand Preceptor. Otherwise, with Uncle Fang's strength, he should not have lost to the Grand Preceptor."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie frowned slightly and said, "The Demon-Trapping Formation left behind by Bodhidharma?"

Achai nodded slightly and said, "That's right, it's Bodhidharma. According to our country's historical records, when Bodhidharma came from India, he first passed through our country of Siam and helped our country of Siam subdue the demon king Manifesta. Later, he stayed in that demon-trapping formation in the back mountain of our capital, which is also a forbidden area of ​​our royal family."

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie frowned slightly and asked, "Wouldn't it be life-threatening if we were trapped inside?"

Achai said, "I don't think so. Our kingdom has records that someone was trapped inside two hundred years ago, but it took them twenty years to get out. I think with Uncle Fang's strength, he should be able to get out in ten years."

"ten years?"

Chen Jie frowned slightly, then looked at A Cai and asked, "So, in all these hundreds of years, only one person has come out?"

Achai said, "Hmm."

"And what about those who died inside?"

Upon hearing this, Achai replied, "There are several hundred people."

Upon hearing this, Fang Susu immediately became anxious: "Only one person out of hundreds of people came out alive, and it took them twenty years!"

"No, I can't let Father be trapped inside, and my brother and Uncle Lei are inside too! I have to go and save them!"

Upon hearing this, Chen Jie said to Fang Susu, "Wait, don't rush."

"Oh, right, I forgot to ask earlier, what happened to the people who went in with your Uncle Fang?"

Upon hearing this, Achai shook his head and said, "I don't know, we had already run away by then."

However, Hei Ligu said, "But they should be fine for a while. Bashali needs laborers to build his royal tomb, and they won't let outsiders benefit from it for nothing!"
