Four hundred and fortieth chapters dark under the lamp
Wang Tao was stunned for a moment, then looked at the sky, and his eyes suddenly became indifferent.
"Of course I do."
"Hehe, it's very simple. Doing anything perfectly is extremely stupid and unrealistic. Only leaving a preset trap is the best way to control the situation."
"So I am the one who has set up a trap and a flaw?"
Wang Tao's tone was calm, but the man in black was slightly startled.
"Yes, this dry well was actually left by the previous dynasty, and your identity is unknown. Once the body appears here, it will be very intriguing, hehe."
"Haha, can you hide your identity this way? I'm afraid the queen doesn't even know that you are actually the Eight Wise Kings, right?"
Wang Tao said funny and raised his head proudly.
The Eight Wise King Liang Ke was Liang Qi's younger brother and a minister of the Imperial Academy. He usually looked like he had devoted his life to studying knowledge and didn't seem to care about power.
But precisely because he had spent his life learning, was rich in knowledge, read poetry and books, and was a prince, he was very supported by scholar-bureaucrats and scholars.
In Wei Tianzhong's memory, this man regarded himself as noble and ignored the struggle for power.
However, after Wang Tao's careful consideration, he found out that the Xue family, where he was the Duke of Zhenguo and the Queen, had a falling out, and the one who would benefit the most was the Eight Sages.
Motivation is an extremely important factor at all times. There is no action without motivation in the world. Of course, this is what Wang Tao realized in a Blue Star detective reality show.
"You...how do you know...? Who are you? Why are you talking nonsense."
The man in black was extremely surprised. He whipped out his machete and stared at Wang Tao warily.
"You don't even know who I am? How dare you treat me as a pawn?"
Wang Tao sneered, then slowly took off his hood, revealing a stern black face.
"Is it...you...? How could you...?"
With the dim light, the man in black saw Wang Tao's appearance clearly. He was shocked and trembled all over, almost paralyzing on the ground.
"What? You didn't expect it to be me? Haha."
Wang Tao said no more nonsense. Seeing the other person's surprise, the dagger in his hand suddenly exerted force and easily pierced the heart of the man in black.
"Wei Tianzhong, is it you? I...are so unwilling...you...are so cruel."
The man in black vomited blood from the corner of his mouth, then pointed at Wang Tao with unwilling eyes, and finally fell to the ground clutching his chest.
With a calm expression, Wang Tao took off the man's mask and found that he didn't recognize him at all.
It's right to think about it. If this person wasn't mysterious enough, he wouldn't have been assigned here. Even if there was an accident, Wang Tao believed that no one would be able to find out the identity of this person.
Wang Tao picked up the machete and carefully destroyed the wound along the dagger, so that no one would be able to suspect the Ninth Princess based on the wound. After all, the sword in Wang Tao's hand belonged to the Ninth Princess Liang Zixuan.
After a final hesitation, he searched the man for a long time, but found nothing but a small leather bag.
Haha, these people are so cautious! We can't find any clues just from the items and physical characteristics.
Wang Tao opened the leather bag and his face was stunned when he saw the contents inside.
Fake beard? Foundation, natural glue? And a few human skin masks.
Damn it! This thing is probably the escape route he left for himself!
After all, he had done too much dirty work and was in danger of dying at any time.
People in this era don't know how to use these things. Wang Tao comes from Blue Star and knows nothing about these things.
These things are the most useful to him right now.
Wang Tao put away his things, then took the machete and jumped down into the dry well. Sure enough, besides the prepared lanterns and fire dumplings, there was some food at the bottom of the well.
Wang Tao didn't eat rashly. He just didn't drink any water for a day, so it didn't matter. Now at the critical moment, he didn't want to capsize in the gutter over some trivial matters.
Wang Tao lit a lantern and then walked slowly along the tunnel. The tunnel was small, damp, and low. It was indeed a temporary escape passage.
Wang Tao endured the musty smell and walked forward. He imagined countless possibilities in his mind, but still made plans not to get out.
Sure enough, as he walked forward cautiously, he saw an iron gate at the end. There were more than a dozen men in black standing at the iron gate. These men in black were guarding the iron gate, and no one could get out.
Wang Tao hesitated slightly, flew back, and jumped out of the well again. The sky outside was already bright, and the faint sound of soldiers running could be heard throughout the palace.
It seems that the assassination and the disappearance of Wei Tianzhong last night have been known to His Majesty, and the entire palace should be searching at this moment.
Wang Tao first used glue to stick the human skin mask on his face, then hurriedly wiped the blood from the man in black on his own body, then picked up the body and returned to the well.
This time he didn't hide anything. He carried the body in the small hole and ran around in embarrassment.
He was out of breath, no need to pretend at all, he ran to the light in one breath and began to gasp and roar.
"Open the door quickly, the boss is seriously injured, call the doctor... quickly?"
Wang Tao yelled anxiously. At this moment, a group of men in black who were guarding the door were suddenly stunned. Then someone tried to open the door, but was stopped by a thin man.
"With the password, we can open the door."
"How presumptuous! Didn't you see that the boss was injured? If you delay the treatment, I will peel off your skin carefully."
Wang Tao yelled, and as expected, his expression turned fierce, and the thin man's face turned pale.
He looked at Wang Tao, who was covered in blood, sweating profusely, and extremely weak. He hesitated slightly and opened the iron door.
"What's going on? How did you end up like this?"
The thin man seemed to be a small leader, and he was very alert. He said he was always on guard when carrying a knife.
Wang Tao smiled coldly when he saw the door open. There were more than a dozen of them, but because of Wei Tianzhong's martial arts skills, he didn't pay attention to these people at all.
"Get the boss quickly."
As he spoke, Wang Tao suddenly threw the body on his back towards the group of men in black.
"Snapped!"
No one had time to pick it up, and the body fell to the ground. The faces of everyone around him suddenly twitched.
"Ha ha."
Wang Tao laughed loudly, used a dagger in his left hand and a machete in his right hand, and then began to kill coldly.
"ah!"
"ah……."
More than a dozen people were caught off guard. Wei Tianzhong was so powerful that he chopped down one of them in three or five strokes.
Wang Tao looked calm, then took off his own shoes and put them on his hands, put on someone else's shoes, dipped some blood on the shoes, and then crawled out with his hands and feet.
In this way, due to his deliberate actions, a pair of bloody shoe prints were left on the ground. The key was to escape outward.
Wang Tao quickly came outside, then looked around and found that he had reached the woods on the outskirts of the city.
Phew! Wang Tao put away his shoes, stood barefoot on the stone, and fell into deep thought for a while.
Undoubtedly, now is the best time to escape, but escaping this way is also the riskiest. Once Liang Qi's brother, the Eight Sage King Liang Ke, and Queen Xue Mingzhu join forces, there is no way he can escape back to the base camp of the three armies.
