The shock on Meng's father's face was quickly suppressed, and he stared at Li Nanke with cold eyes, not concealing his murderous intent at all.
Li Nanke smiled and said: "I don't know if you betrayed your general, but I am sure that the emperor secretly assigned you a mission. But don't worry, I won't tell General Bei about this."
Li Nanke tried his best to release his kindness and sincere attitude.
No matter what, the other party is his future father-in-law.
But we can't let both sides become enemies.
Meng's father's expression changed, perhaps in his heart he was weighing the credibility of Li Nanke's promise.
He glanced at Gu Ying, who was always vigilant, and after confirming that he was not sure of killing these two people, he said lightly in a compromising tone: "Whatever you want to know, I will tell you as much as possible."
This is an unequal transaction.
Use information in exchange for the other party's tight-lippedness.
Even if the other party has no evidence, it is still enough to threaten him.
"Sticking to the topic just now, why do you think the emperor accepted Hong Yu?"
Li Nanke asked.
Father Meng was silent for a while, then slowly uttered two words, "Eternal life."
Immortality!?
Although Li Nanke was surprised when he heard this answer, he was not surprised.
As an emperor, he has endless wealth and supreme power, as well as the most beautiful women in the world at his fingertips. There is only one thing that he cannot obtain.
That is eternal life.
Throughout the ages, how many emperors have longed for immortality, but died in pursuit of it.
This is human nature.
The appearance of "Red Rain" undoubtedly made the emperor see this possibility.
Red Rain can make people "resurrect from the dead", or survive in another world in the form of monsters...it is more or less linked to "immortality".
Now that the hook is hooked, is it really possible to find a way?
Li Nanke thought of the altars and experimental sites he had seen. From this, it seemed that Emperor Bai Yaoquan was indeed studying something.
"But this is just my guess."
Father Meng said.
Li Nanke looked at him, "Then do you have any other guesses?"
Father Meng thought for a while and asked, "Have you heard of the eldest princess who was born six months ago?"
"I heard that she was paralyzed from birth."
Hearing the other party mention his other daughter-in-law, Li Nanke's heart skipped a beat, but the expression on his face seemed very calm.
Father Meng deliberately lowered his voice, "I guess the eldest princess is just a tool of His Majesty."
tool?
Is it a tool used to study "immortality"?
Thinking of the strange red rain Gu worm inside the eldest princess, Li Nanke slowly clenched his fists.
But even though Bai Yaoquan is the most ruthless imperial family, would Bai Yaoquan really use his own daughter for experiments?
Li Nanke was upset.
He felt that the current eldest princess was like a firefly trapped in a quagmire, glowing with crystal-clear beauty, but unable to escape the fate of dying.
"Do you know the eldest princess's mother?" Li Nanke asked.
"Zhao Qingyan was named Qing Fei by His Majesty." Father Meng replied, "She is a saint of the perfect yin and yang sect."
Sure enough, it has something to do with the Yin and Yang Gate.
The strange ballad girl with flowers all over her body appeared in Li Nanke's mind again.
It has been confirmed that the singing girl is Zhao Qingyan.
It also shows that Zhao Qingyan was once resurrected and became a grave man.
If Zhao Qingyan had become a tomb person, then the eldest princess, like Princess Shanyun, was also born from a tomb person?
In other words, the eldest princess and Princess Shanyun should not exist in this world?
Li Nanke took a deep breath and was about to ask something more, when the baby in Gu Ying's arms suddenly cried "Wow".
Gu Ying hurriedly went to coax him, but the next second, there was a roar from above the stone chamber, and a bloody tentacle penetrated the cracked stone roof and penetrated.
"My daughter...give...to me..."
The hoarse voice that didn't sound like a human voice came intermittently, which was terrifying.
It’s Mrs. Bei!
Li Nanke and Gu Ying were shocked.
Meng's father looked at the terrifying scene in the sky, his face turned pale, and he quickly took out the small military crossbow he carried with him and shot at the tentacles.
This thing is useful as a hammer against monsters.
Li Nanke wanted to complain, but suddenly he saw an arrow with a light yellow streamer fired from the crossbow, which penetrated directly into the tentacle, and instantly ignited flames.
Is it a magic weapon?
Li Nanke was quite surprised.
Piercing screams came from the cracks, and tentacles wrapped in fire waved wildly.
"Let's go!"
Meng's father threw away the useless military crossbow and knocked the stone wall on the left with his elbow.
In the middle of the stone chamber, a dark underground passage suddenly appeared.
Li Nanke motioned to Gu Ying, who was holding the child, to go first, and he followed behind.
The three of them entered the secret passage and walked in the dark, and finally came to a sparse mountain forest. Surrounded by low hills and mountains, and vaguely visible villages.
"Have we left the village?"
Looking at the village in the distance, Gu Ying's pretty face was filled with surprise, thinking she had passed through the barrier.
Li Nanke shook his head.
Because through the "clairvoyance" ability, the barrier can still be seen, indicating that they have not left the scope of this village.
He tried to take the baby girl away, but was still blocked by the barrier.
"The monster can't catch up here for the time being. It's quite safe here, but you can't stay for too long."
Father Meng's face was still a bit pale, and it was obvious that he had not recovered from the monster attack just now. "Where are you going?"
"And you?"
Li Nanke asked rhetorically.
"I'm leaving this hellish place to report to the general. If you want to see him, you can come with me."
"We can't follow you."
Li Nanke said helplessly.
He already had a guess in his heart that the barrier in front of him was a barrier dividing time and space.
As long as he and Gu Ying walked out of the barrier, they would return to the original timeline.
So they couldn't take the baby away.
Otherwise, when the infant Luo Qianqiu meets her in the future, things will go haywire.
Li Nanke thought for a while, handed the baby to Meng's father and said, "Please give this child to General Bei and explain her identity."
"You're crazy!"
Gu Ying, who was still wary of Meng's father, saw this and rushed to snatch it, but was stopped by Li Nanke, who explained: "He can take the child out."
"But……"
"Don't worry, I can trust him. He will definitely hand Qiu'er over to her father." Li Nanke pressed the woman's shoulders and consoled her.
Gu Ying opened her red lips and finally chose to believe Li Nanke.
Meng's father was also confused at this moment, and he didn't understand what the other party meant by this move.
Only then did he truly feel Li Nanke's trust in him.
Very strange.
It was obviously the first time the two met.
It even felt like the other person looked at him with respect, as if he was looking at an elder.
But they are both about the same age.
Father Meng looked down at the baby girl in his arms, hesitated and reminded:
"I can give the child to the general, but I can't guarantee whether the general will kill her. After all... the general hates people who have an affair with Hongyu the most."
"Will not."
Li Nanke, who knew the future plot well, shook his head firmly.
It is impossible for Bei Wenliang to kill his daughter.
Even if she doesn't care about family ties, Luo Qianqiu is still valuable. She can disguise her eldest daughter's identity as Princess Shanyun to deceive the emperor.
Father Meng sighed softly, "Anyway, I've warned you, it's up to you whether you listen or not." After that, he turned around and walked deeper into the forest.
"Wait a moment."
Li Nanke stopped him, stared tenderly at the cute baby with crystal tears on his face, lowered his head and kissed the baby gently on the cheek.
"I am waiting for you."
Li Nanke spoke softly.
Meng's father's eyes suddenly became strange.
The look in Li Nanke's eyes was like looking at a pervert.
This guy must not have any serious illness.
Grandma's face looks human-like, but I didn't expect it to be a pervert.
If you have a daughter in the future, you must stay away from this guy.
