In the center of the Black Soul Palace, Bai Qinglian covered her mouth and smiled softly: "What to do and why to deal with Liu Aotian is not something you can know."
"As for Xiao Tian, although he is an ordinary person, the empress Zi Ruoyan is extremely favored. It is natural for him to collect information."
"You, Zhong Yangming, are a close minister, and now you have a good relationship with the prince."
"It would be best for you two to monitor Zi Ruoyan together."
"Besides, you should relax a little bit about the Southern Xinjiang affairs that you are responsible for, and don't catch the spies I am hiding in so hard."
After Bai Qinglian finished speaking, Zhong Yangming did not respond and fell into deep thought.
Zhong Yangming had speculated in the past that Liu Aotian was colluding with external forces, perhaps the Black Soul Palace.
Now it seems that Black Soul Palace and Liu Aotian are actually rivals.
Judging from Bai Qinglian's words, it seems that the Black Soul Palace is not in a hurry to take action against the Great Yan Dynasty, nor does it intend to do anything directly against the Empress.
Just monitor and provide information.
What's the point?
"Zhong Shangshu, what do you think?" Bai Qinglian propped up her elbows and held her chin with one hand, looking at Zhong Yangming, "I admire you very much. You'd better not be ignorant of good and evil."
Bai Qinglian's posture and voice gave Zhong Yangming goosebumps all over his body and made him feel very uncomfortable.
but……
"Zhong Yangming was just a poor scholar in the past. He was favored by the late emperor, and then he became what he is today. The current empress is your majesty, and she is also my niece who grew up under my watch."
"Do you think I would betray my family?"
Zhong Yangming shook his head and rejected Bai Qinglian directly.
The Black Soul Palace fell into a silent and quiet atmosphere. The members of the Black Soul Palace looked at each other and laughed out loud.
Amidst the laughter, Bai Qinglian shook her head: "You have backbone, but unfortunately in our place, backbone is the most useless thing."
"Xu Fu, let this Zhong Shangshu see what you are capable of."
The middle-aged man in a long robe with long green hair scattered around in an instant and arrived in front of Zhong Yangming.
Zhong Yangming has no practice, and is only at the second level of Qi Gathering Realm. He has no ability to resist in front of Xu Fu, the poison refiner at the seventh level of awakening.
Bang!
The pale and peeling hand made a fist and punched Zhong Yangming in the abdomen.
"vomit!"
Zhong Yangming couldn't stand it anymore. He was beaten until he was hunched over like a shrimp, and he opened his mouth and kept spitting out acidic water.
"Hehe..." Poison Refiner Xu Fu stretched out his hand again. His five fingers were like dry branches, clamping Zhong Yangming's chin, holding a fat white larva at his fingertips.
As soon as he let go, it slipped into Zhong Yangming's mouth.
Then Xu Fu stretched out his hand and pushed Zhong Yangming away from him.
Zhong Yangming staggered back and fell to the ground.
"This is an incense-smelling insect, a very interesting poison." Xu Fu's voice was dry, and he dangled a stick of incense in his hand, "It is parasitic in your body now. If you don't smell the incense within three days, the insect will
Will eat your internal organs."
"Its feet will also pierce into your lungs, skin and flesh and draw blood. Life would be worse than death."
As Xu Fu's words rang out, Zhong Yangming suddenly felt intense pain in his stomach.
That feeling simply penetrated deep into the bone marrow, making it unbearable and causing convulsions all over the body.
Just in the blink of an eye, Zhong Yangming's whole body was soaked with sweat.
The dust rubbed onto the ground, and the white lining immediately became gray and dirty.
"Zhong Shangshu, what do you think? As long as you agree and light this incense stick, your whole body will emit a smell that is extremely disgusting to the incense-smelling insects, and it will naturally not touch you." Xu Fu Jiejie smiled beside him, admiring Zhong Yangming.
of pain.
It's like watching a masterpiece.
Others in the Black Soul Palace also laughed and watched Zhong Yangming look in great pain and extremely uncomfortable.
"Zhong Shangshu, you might as well think carefully about what I just said. As long as you agree, there will be no pain at all."
"Why bother carrying it to death? This Great Yan Dynasty belongs to the Zi family. What does it have to do with your Zhong family?"
"Give up, throw away that poor loyalty, don't be so ignorant."
Zhong Yangming fell to the ground and gritted his teeth, his whole body twisting, but the amplitude became smaller and smaller.
On the other side, other people in the Black Soul Palace were smiling and laughing, but there was no movement either.
Each of them frowned and looked at the man on the ground.
From beginning to end, the other party didn't say a word!
Xu Fu also looked ugly and stared at Zhong Yangming: "This is impossible, why don't you shout, why don't you scream, don't you feel pain?"
Zhong Yangming's silence was a slap in the face and an insult to him.
The other party's silence was a mockery of his incompetence.
The charming Bai Qinglian's expression also changed slightly, her brows furrowed: "Zhong Yangming..."
"Ugh!" The veins on his forehead were already bulging due to the severe pain, but Zhong Yangming carried it hard and stood up from the ground with his knees.
Sweat dripped down from his whole body, and the sound of hitting the floor tiles of the Black Soul Palace could be heard clearly.
Zhong Yangming used his perseverance to endure the pain and slowly stood up straight.
"The late emperor did not hesitate to debase himself and treat me, a humble person like me, as brother and brother. He... was both a teacher and a friend."
"Your Majesty has called me uncle since he was a child."
"This Great Yan is a country, but also...a home!"
"Black Soul Palace, a mere poisonous insect, you want... me to surrender?" Zhong Yangming said, raising his hand, pinching the knuckle of his little finger with his thumb, with a mocking look on his face.
Bai Qinglian's face turned cold, she stared at Zhong Yangming, and her tone was cold: "Zhong Yangming, are you really looking for death?"
"Hahahaha!" Zhong Yangming laughed loudly, wantonly and arrogantly, venting the severe pain.
After laughing, Zhong Yangming's eyes were cracked, his words were firm, and his voice was loud!
"I...Zhong...Zhong Yangming, would rather die standing than live on my knees!"
These words are very resounding.
Seeing Zhong Yangming like this, Bai Qinglian became annoyed and nodded: "Okay, that's great. If you insist on seeking death, then I will help you."
"Zhuang Yin, your craftsmanship is the best and your meat is the thinnest. It's too late to give him to me!"
"I would like to see if he can still have such backbone at that time?"
Zhuang Yin didn't say anything, but there was a look of amusement in his eyes. He ducked and came to Zhong Yangming.
"It's boring, it's really boring." Xu Fu was annoyed, shook his head and walked back.
Zhong Yangming watched Zhuang Yin gesture with the dagger in his hand as he came over step by step.
Don't be afraid and face it calmly.
This was a choice he made following his own heart.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I can't help you anymore."
"Ling'er, dad can't help watching you get married and have children."
"Lishuang, I'm sorry, I really shouldn't have quarreled with you last night..."
Zhong Yangming thought, with a smile and tears, preparing to face death.
boom!!
A sudden roar sounded over the entire Black Soul Palace.
The defensive formation barrier of the Black Soul Palace instantly shattered and turned into dots of fluorescent light, falling like rain.
Broken spirit wood beams and bricks continued to fall on the ground of the hall, causing those in the Black Soul Hall to get out of the way, and at the same time they took action to smash the debris that hit their heads.
"Who is it?" Zhuang Yin hurriedly looked up and saw a figure suddenly hitting him.
puff!!
Almost instantly, Zhuang Yin's figure fell from the sky and was slapped into flying cakes, which fell into the ground at the same time.
One of the six evils in the Black Soul Palace, the hidden killing ghost Zhuang Yin.
Death!
The sudden change shocked everyone.
Zhong Yangming's eyes widened even more, looking at the back of the man standing in front of him in disbelief.
The familiar golden flying dragon and black silk royal robe, as well as the iconic smile when the other person looked back at him.
"Dear...your lord, Prince?"
"Good morning, Zhong Shangshu, why are you still crying?" Xiao Tian looked at Zhong Yangming with a look of surprise on his face, as if he had seen something new.
Then, Xiao Tian turned around and looked at the people in the Black Soul Palace who were in shock and uncertainty not far away.
The expression was cold and terrifying.
"You are so brave, even my own cook dares to bully you!!!"
Xiao Tian shouted loudly in anger.
More than twenty senior members of the Black Soul Palace were all blown to death by the sonic shock.
The four evil spirits still alive in the Black Soul Palace all vomited blood.
