The snare escaped and disappeared. Zhao Cheng and others naturally reported it to Zhao Wangyan in time. He must personally give instructions on how to search for the snare among the residences of many nobles and important officials of the court.
Zhao Yan was surprised when he heard the reward, "What, it was Qin's Luo Wen who came to rescue Li Mu? How could Li Mu be connected with Luo Wen? Is he worthy of Luo Wen's use..."
No matter how you look at it, Luo Wen's assassination of Li Mu is not bad, so how is it possible for him to take the initiative to rescue Li Mu? But this is the fact now. Zhao Yan racked his brains and couldn't think of it, Li Mu and Luo Wen actually had nothing to do with each other before.
"Li Mu, Qin State...why is this..."
The subordinate who reported back asked for instructions: "Your Majesty, there is no trace of the snare now. It must be hidden in an important minister's house. What should we do now?"
"Search! Seal the whole city and search every house until you find the person. I want to see where the dark rat like Luo Zhen is hiding!" Zhao Yan quickly gave instructions decisively and narrowed his eyes at the end.
He also added, "The king's edict for those who hold the throne is to allow them to behead first and then retaliate."
"promise."
In the palace city, inside Guo Kai's mansion
Guo Kai looked at these dusty people with the smell of blood in front of him, his speech was already bad, he pointed at the unconscious Li Mu and said: "You, you, him! This is the noble person you said you wanted to entertain?! Madam Mingzhu
,you-you~”
The Chao Banshee smiled sweetly and asked: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, your Majesty will not kill Li Mu for a while. I will help you solve it for you. Isn't this great?"
Guo Kai wanted to strangle the beautiful woman in front of him. If he couldn't beat her, he would have done it long ago. Now he could only shout angrily: "Okay? What the hell! This palace dungeon has been captured and the whole city is under lockdown. You guys
Hiding here will kill me~"
Lu Yan checked Li Mu's situation and said firmly: "The Prime Minister has been running this business for many years. There must be a secret passage leading to the outside of the palace."
"I didn't build this palace city. It was built during the reign of King Zhao Wuling. How can I build a secret tunnel to conceal it from others?!" Guo Kai said while beating his chest and feet, almost swearing that it would be struck by thunder.
The charming female voice next to her came again, speaking the most sinister words in the most charming voice, "Master Prime Minister, if we are found by King Zhao's people, not only us, but also your whole family will have to go together.
It would be nice for us to have someone to relieve our loneliness on the road to hell."
Lu Yan sneered at the right time, "Humph, it all depends on the Prime Minister's eyes. Who are we, the desperadoes, and your family?"
"You guys, I really don't have this secret passage. If I did, I would definitely send you away immediately. Aren't I afraid of death?!"
"No, you do."
"What?" Guo Kai himself was dumbfounded. At this moment when life was at stake, why didn't I remember that I had such a secret passage?
Lu Yan asked: "Sometimes King Zhao becomes sexually interested. How did you hide him from the government and the public and bring him to the Pearl Pavilion?"
"This, you are too brave, that secret passage is in the palace!"
"Now the most elite experts are searching for us, but the palace is empty. At most, King Zhao is protected by experts. We are not looking for King Zhao, so..." He did not continue, staring at Guo Kai with a silent momentum. is surging.
God knows how much pressure Guo Kai was under. He gritted his teeth and nodded, gasping for air, and finally made up his mind, "Okay! If you dare to leave, why don't I dare to lead the way!"
Lu Yan showed a harmless smile and said very thoughtfully: "Guo Kai, considering your performance, I can give you a piece of news. The three armies of Wang Jian, Yang Duanhe, and Wang Bi are probably marching towards Zhao State now. on the way.”
"What?! You're not bluffing..." Guo Kai's eyes widened and he pointed at Lu Yan's smiling face. His mind was in shock and he fell down, "You, you, King Qin really want to... destroy... ...Destroy..."
"Hmph~ Pang Nuan, Lecheng's 200,000 troops are out, and Li Mu is no longer here. How many days do you think the Zhao Kingdom still has, Prime Minister?"
Chao Banshee saw that this man was frightened to death, glanced at Lu Yan, and then leaned down to comfort him: "Don't worry, Prime Minister, with your ten years of friendship with Luo Wang and your countless meritorious deeds, Qin The country will not treat you badly."
Guo Kai could no longer listen to anything else and just muttered blankly: "Zhao Guo, how many more days..."
At this time, Ji quietly came in and reported the situation outside, "Sir, King Zhao ordered to search every house. Zhao Liang's gang is making a lot of noise. For the sake of safety, please hide first."
Lu Yan nodded, walked over and pulled up Guo Kai who was lying on the ground, "Your Excellency, Prime Minister, please lend us a secret room so that we can escape."
…
After a long time, Zhao Liang and his men searched the Prime Minister's Mansion.
"It's so late at night, who--" As soon as the gatekeeper opened the door a crack, a bright sword was pressed against his neck, and a grumble stuck in his throat.
Zhao Liang approached the Prime Minister's Mansion, looked around, and called to his men, "Search carefully. Don't miss every box, vase, and even the pen and inkstone."
"What are you doing? Who are you, how dare you act so arrogantly in the Prime Minister's Mansion!" Guo Kai shouted angrily and walked out, completely different from the two people he had just faced before.
Zhao Liang saw that he was dressed neatly and asked with a smile: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister, are you still up so late?"
"There's a lot of noise in the city, and I'm awake no matter how soundly I sleep. Who are you, breaking into my prime minister's house late at night?"
Hearing Guo Kai's question, he took out Zhao Wang Yan's edict and showed it, "Tonight, the dungeon was robbed. According to the king's edict, we searched house to house. Prime Minister, please forgive me."
"Dungeon? Search the palace? Could it be that something went wrong with General Li Mu!"
"Your Majesty, Prime Minister, is indeed wise." Zhao Liang complimented him without saltiness. When he passed by a place, his nose twitched twice, he stopped, and said in a meaningful way, "Huh? This taste is very special."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Guo Kai snorted indifferently and said with a smile: "This is the special incense of Mingzhu Pavilion. It calms the mind and helps sleep. It is very effective. Even the king
like very much."
"I see, what goes up works and what goes down works." Zhao Liang nodded and quickly walked into the house where the incense came from, which was the same room where everyone in the net had stayed before.
The special incense covered up all the smells, and he found nothing. After looking around Guo Kai's mansion, he found that this incense was used in many places in the mansion, and judging from the time, it was not only lit at night. There was nothing special.
Doubtful.
Zhao Liang was about to leave the Prime Minister's Mansion, and finally made a sudden request, "Prime Minister, please show me your secret room."
"What?! This is impossible!" Of course Guo Kai would not agree and decisively refused.
"Prime Minister, there is no need to panic. This time we will only search for the thief and ignore the rest. We are not officials in the court and only obey orders from the king. Therefore, if there is any secret, as long as it is not harboring a thief, I won't care.
.”
Knowing that Zhao Liang represented Zhao Yan, Guo Kai did not dare to refuse anymore, so he honestly took him and opened the secret room where he hid half of his life savings.
After the sound of "rumbling", Zhao Liang waved his hand and ordered, "Move them all out and see if there is anyone hiding inside. Prime Minister, is this the only place?"
Guo Kai smiled awkwardly and responded: "There is only one place, just this one. Haha~"
What should we do? Should we tell the trap? There is nowhere for them to escape in this palace. If we tell them, they will die.
However, Zhao State has only been in power for a few days, so you still have to live in Qin State from now on!
Isn't there still Li Mu? If Li Mu leads the army, Zhao will not be destroyed.
If Li Mu becomes big, I will die!
Zhao Liang saw that Guo Kai's expression was unnatural, and he was moved in his heart. He asked with confusion on his face: "Master Prime Minister, what are you guilty of, sweating so much?"
Guo Kai was shocked when he was asked, and he was evasive and could not answer, "This, this, open..."
Zhao Liang became alert and his eyes became sharp.
