When Elder Xu called out "Zhufu", the Queen's heart froze. When she heard the word "Hunjun", her whole heart went cold.
Also suffering from head to toe was Zhang Yuanqing. Elder Xu of the Qinglong Gang was not only a swordsman, but he actually knew Zhao Shun. This development almost blocked his path.
Zhang Yuanqing simply stopped pretending and said coldly: "Do you know me?"
Elder Xu's expression changed from shock to excitement, and then from excitement to hatred, "Three years ago, when you were hunting in autumn in the southern suburbs, several assassins sneaked into the Sheep Palace to kill you, but they failed. Three people died and one escaped.
I am the one who escaped. Has Your Majesty already forgotten?"
The entire copy is full of unscrupulous people who want to harm me! Zhang Yuanqing sensed the strong hatred and hatred in the other party's emotions. He said no more, tilted his head, and turned his gaze to the Queen.
As the Hunjun who is hated by the Qinglong Gang, no matter what he says, the other party will sneer at him. If he talks too much, it will only anger the other party, so he simply won't say anything.
Elder Xu will definitely wonder why the majestic king of a country became a thief and why he appears here, so he will not kill him for the time being.
Now in this situation, we can only leave it to the Queen to perform.
"Elder Xu, I have something to report." The queen is indeed a big-hearted person. She understood Master Tianzun's eyes and took the opportunity to speak.
Elder Xu took a deep breath to calm down his emotions, regained his seriousness and composure, and said:
"Look north and take them to the basement."
After thinking about it, I personally pulled Zhang Yuanqing out of the car, grabbed him by the back of his collar, and strode away.
Zhang Yuanqing hung in the air like a chicken, a little embarrassed, and said angrily: "I am the king of a country, how dare you be so rude, put me down quickly."
Wang Beiwang looked at the backs of Elder Xu and Zhang Yuanqing with dumbfounded eyes. Until this moment, he had not recovered from the shock just now.
Cousin Li Erdan is the current emperor Zhao Shun?!
Why did the emperor show up at my house? I spent a whole day with the coward Zhao Shun, but I didn’t kill him? No, I stabbed him!
I actually stabbed the emperor?!
Wang Beiwang's mind was in a mess. He didn't wake up until Elder Xu's figure disappeared in the corridor. He hurriedly picked up Jiang Jingwei and the Queen and strode after them.
Candlelight flickered in the dark basement.
Zhang Yuanqing was wearing handcuffs and shackles and was sitting stiffly against the wall, unable to move.
Elder Xu paid great attention to him. Not only did he not relieve Ruanjin San, but he also tapped his acupuncture points. Now, several acupuncture points all over his body were injured by finger force, leaving him numb and unconscious. It will take at least several hours to recover.
Next to him is Jiang Jingwei, who is treated similarly.
The queen was not there, and was taken to the secret room next door by Elder Xu.
In a secret room separated by a wall, the Queen told Elder Xu what happened in the palace in one breath, "That's what happened. After escaping from the palace, I met His Majesty by the river in the south of the city, and hid with him in a private house. How could it be so?"
I guess that’s Wang Beiwang’s home.”
Elder Xu sat at the table, holding the porcelain cup in his palm, and did not move or speak for a long time. Even as an elder of the Qinglong Gang, he still had to spend time digesting such important information.
The Zheng family rebels, the emperor is in trouble, and the Southern Dynasties may usher in an unprecedented coup.
Although the Qinglong Gang is a gangster force, they also have a heart for the country and the people and cannot ignore such a major event.
After a full quarter of an hour, Elder Xu suddenly asked:
"Since you have escaped from the palace and are with Hunjun, why don't you bring him here?"
When the Queen faced those eyes that were as sharp as swords and seemed to be able to penetrate everything, she did not panic at all and spoke her thoughts frankly:
"Because I don't want His Majesty to die."
In front of the swordsman, lying will make you lose your identity advantage and make the other party no longer trust you. Since you can't lie, it's better to confess.
Hearing this, Elder Xu snorted coldly: "Why, are you in love with the emperor? Back then, your father asked for life for the people, but ended up being slaughtered by everyone. The gang leader admired your father's character, so he took action to save you. Now the enemy is right in front of you.
, but you are moved by compassion, can you be worthy of Mr. Zhu and the leader of the gang?"
"Elder, allow me to explain." The queen took a deep breath and narrated the draft she had prepared: "Zhao Shun is indeed dim, but he is not the culprit. According to my observations over the years, Zhao Shun only knew
He enjoys himself and has no interest in government affairs. Most matters in the court are decided by Zheng Wenhan. He is like a knife, Zheng Wenhan is the one holding the knife, and this is the culprit."
These are all true.
Seeing that Elder Xu was unmoved, the Queen continued: "I have one more thing to report to you, Elder. I know who the main messenger behind the Zheng family is."
Elder Xu raised his eyebrows: "Is there anyone behind the Zheng family?"
The Queen nodded repeatedly: "It's the Imperial Master!"
Elder Xu suddenly changed his expression: "You are talking nonsense. The Imperial Master is a highly qualified person who helps the world by hanging pots and loves the country and the people. How could he do such a treasonous thing?"
The Queen looked directly into Elder Xu's eyes and said, "Elder, you have a pair of eyes that can see into people's hearts. You can tell at a glance whether what I say is true or false."
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, Elder Xu's expression gradually became serious, and he said in deep thought:
"The emperor is incompetent, and the national master's support for the Zheng family may be to promote change."
Is Elder Xu still a fan of the Imperial Preceptor? The Queen sneered: "Reform by sacrificing three hundred boys and girls? Yesterday's notice was issued after His Majesty escaped from the palace. It was promoted by the Zheng family and the Imperial Preceptor. Elder Xu also
Do you think the National Master is patriotic and loves the people?"
Elder Xu's expression was startled.
The queen continued: "There is one more thing to report to the elders. The Zheng family secretly colluded with Tuoba Rentu, the commander-in-chief of the Northern Dynasty. Once the Zheng family usurps the throne, they will find a way to get rid of the Yang family and feed the 50,000 frontline troops to the Northern Dynasty as a
A petition to compromise with Tuoba Rentu, and Tuoba Rentu's army will fight all the way to the capital to support the Zheng family."
"Is this happening?" Elder Xu crushed the porcelain cup with a click, furious.
The impact of this information was even greater than when Zhao Shun appeared in front of him.
Zheng Wenhan, who is in charge of the cabinet, actually traveled to the north!
He didn't want to believe it, but Zhu Fu's micro-expression told him that the other party was not lying.
The Queen struck while the iron was hot: "Therefore, all the culprits are Zheng Wenhan, not His Majesty. Although he is stupid, his crime will not lead to death."
He immediately realized that he had lost his temper, put away his emotions, and said calmly:
"This matter is of great importance. I want to tell the gang leader whether what you said is true or false. The gang leader will make his own decision."
The Queen asked: "Your Majesty"
Elder Xu showed a cold and stern look: "As a king of a country, being ignorant and incompetent is the biggest sin. You said that the culprit is Zheng Wenhan, but that's not true. Zhao Shun, who favors and trusts the treacherous minister, is the culprit and must be killed."
The queen argued hard: "But elder, your majesty is an important chess piece. With him, I can defeat Zheng Wenhan."
Elder Xu hummed: "That is a matter for the court and has nothing to do with the Qinglong Gang. The purpose of the Qinglong Gang is to kill the ignorant king and eliminate harm to the people. However, I will save his life first and report it to the gang leader together, and let him make a decision."
The queen looked slightly relaxed, thinking that she would rescue her teammates as soon as Elder Xu left.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came up, Elder Xu said: "You come with me to see the gang leader."
The Queen could only nod and said: "Before I leave, I want to see Your Majesty."
Elder Xu did not refuse.
The two immediately left the secret room and came to the next door.
Looking at Jiang Jingwei and Yuanshi Tianzun who were sitting stiffly against the wall, the Queen saluted:
"Your Majesty, I want to go with Elder Xu to see the gang leader. The gang leader understands justice and will definitely let you out."
She gave Zhang Yuanqing a "solemn" look and reluctantly left.
Wang Beiwang, who was guarding the door, immediately closed the iron door.
Elder Xu looked at his subordinate and disciple and ordered: "I will go out for a while, and you will guard here. No one can come near this place. If Hunjun makes a mistake or escapes, you are the only one to ask."
Wang Beiwang lowered his head: "Yes!"
Zhang Yuanqing listened to the footsteps of the three people gradually leaving until they disappeared, and he could no longer hold back his expression and hissed.
By this time, he had almost guessed who the biggest danger and enemy would be in the 72-hour side mission.
Leader of the Qinglong Gang!
As soon as the evil-hating heroic gang leader arrives, he will undoubtedly die. After all, Zhao Shun is a genuine and uncompromising king.
Even if he is eloquent, the leader of the Qinglong Gang will not let him go. If he didn't hate Hun Jun deeply, how could he arrange for a beautiful woman to enter the palace to assassinate him?
I'm trapped in this hellish place, with no possibility of moving reinforcements, what should I do, what should I do!?
Zhang Yuanqing thought hard about countermeasures.
Jiang Jingwei next to him said happily: "We don't have to die."
"When the leader of the Qinglong Gang comes, we will definitely die. But it is always a good thing to die a few hours late. Jingwei, what do you think we should do?"
Jiang Jingwei's eyes moved quickly and he was thinking hard.
After a long time, she tried: "I will blow myself up and help you open a hole in the wall?"
"Good comrade, it's not the time to sacrifice for the revolution yet. And if you self-destruct in your position, you will sacrifice yourself with me." Zhang Yuanqing sighed. Since forming a team with Jingwei, he has sighed more often than in his whole life.
many.
"Can you use the fire props?" he asked.
Jiang Jingwei shook his head: "The old man injured my meridians, and the spiritual power is not flowing smoothly in the body. I can't use fire power, nor can I use props."
"Then why did you blow yourself up?"
"Self-destruction requires no operation."
"Okay!" Zhang Yuanqing sighed again.
He thought to himself that I was really at the end of my rope, and he actually started to look forward to Jingwei.
In this situation, self-rescue is impossible. We can only hope for teammates or friendly forces in the dungeon to come to the rescue. However, they are hiding among the people and their whereabouts are hidden. The enemy cannot find them, and neither can their teammates.
Now that they are trapped here, the probability of friendly forces finding them is almost zero.
Just as he was frowning, the sound of rapid footsteps came from the corridor outside the iron gate.
This was followed by Wang Beiwang’s scolding:
"Aniu, stop! Elder Xu has an order, no one is allowed to approach."
Aniu, who was wearing commoner clothes and had a strong physique, stopped in the distance and shouted anxiously:
“Looking north, big things are not going well, big things are going to be bad.
"Your father is outside the door, and your sister has been chosen by lot by the court to be sacrificed to heaven as a boy or girl."
