The mechanism was turned on, and there was no trap. The man holding the mechanism breathed a sigh of relief, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and shouted: "There is a secret passage. Use a torch to enter, but you can't see clearly."
As soon as the leader heard this, he immediately ordered someone to bring torches in. The room was bright and bright. It was just an ordinary study room with nothing special about it.
"It is indeed a secret passage. Leave half of the people guarding it while the others follow me in." The Nine Emperors Uncle's courtyard is indeed exquisite, and they are considered experts, but so many people had to search for half an hour before they found this place.
place.
The leader led the people into the secret passage one by one, and those who stayed behind watched at the entrance of the secret passage to avoid any accidents. But at this moment, there was a creaking sound, and the entrance to the secret passage suddenly closed...
"Quick, go and see what's wrong."
"Who is it? Come out."
The ones left behind suddenly panicked, raised their torches and looked around, and suddenly found a man in black sitting at a desk with his back to them.
When did this person sit there, and why didn't they notice it when they came in?
The people who stayed behind looked at each other, a flash of panic flashed in their eyes, and then turned their heads, and at the same time, they started to kill the man in black.
"You alone want to kill me?" The chair turned and the man in black revealed his true face.
"Black clothes and silver face, are you Lan Jiuqing?" The man who stayed behind was startled, but in just a moment, the sword in Lan Jiuqing's hand was unsheathed...
With a bang..., Lan Jiuqing first put out the torches in their hands, and the room suddenly went dark. Lan Jiuqing jumped in the air, using the strength of the desk, to fly forward, and before the opponent made a move, he struck out with his sword.
into the other person's heart.
"The people in the Emperor's hands are getting worse and worse." Lan Jiuqing's words were not only mocking the opponent, but also used them to reveal the opponent's identity.
The person who stayed behind didn't think much about it. Seeing that his identity was exposed, he said angrily: "Lan Jiuqing, why are you so arrogant? Don't forget who you were at the beginning. You were beaten like a lost dog by Master Fu. If you weren't lucky, you could run so fast."
, there’s grass growing on these graves.”
"Master Fu? Fu Lin? Why didn't he come? I came here to wait for him tonight." With Lan Jiuqing's strength, it would be a matter of the blink of an eye to kill these people, but he chose to take his time.
, start one by one, and add a few sentences from time to time, as if they are deliberately clichéd.
The people who stayed behind didn't realize it at first, but when Lan Jiuqing asked more and more questions, they were shocked to realize that Lan Jiuqing had asked too many questions today, and they immediately shouted to their companions: "Don't talk to him, he is here."
Trying to trick us."
"It's such a pity that you discovered it. Since you are worthless, there is no need to survive." Lan Jiuqing moved like a tiger jumping into a herd of sheep. The sword pierced the opponent's body, and then quickly
He pulled it out, blood beads falling down along the tip of his sword, and it shattered with a snap...
When Lan Jiuqing jumped out of the crowd, those people were still standing. It was not until Lan Jiuqing wiped the blood off the sword that those people fell down one by one.
"Third Prince, it's time for you to come out." Lan Jiuqing said to the bookshelf.
Of course the bookshelf didn't answer him, and Lan Jiuqing wasn't angry either. He put away his sword and stepped forward, pushing the bookshelf open. The bookshelf suddenly slid to the left, like a door. When opened, there was a room inside, and
There was a man sitting in the room.
That man is the third prince that the emperor wants to take away.
The news the Emperor received was not wrong. The Third Prince did arrive in the capital earlier than the Nine Emperors Uncle and was placed in a separate courtyard by the Nine Emperors Uncle. However, the Emperor's people had no hope of taking the Third Prince away.
"Lan Jiuqing? What is your relationship with the former Lan family? What is your purpose?" The third prince was behind the bookshelf and knew exactly what happened in front of him.
"The Third Prince is really keen. No wonder the Holy One is so jealous of you. I am here to help you get into that position. Do you believe it or not?" Lan Jiuqing said this like a joke, but he said it in an extremely indifferent tone.
Gives me another idea.
The third prince did not answer. He looked at Lan Jiuqing critically and said after a long time: "So, are you really a descendant of the previous Lan family?"
The third prince has heard of Lan Jiuqing's reputation, and this is the first time he has seen her in person. The third prince does not know much about Lan Jiuqing. He is a man of the world, so the third prince does not take Lan Jiuqing seriously.
"Since the Third Prince has already guessed it, why bother asking?" Lan Jiuqing did not deny it, and kept pointing the bloody sword at the Third Prince with an imposing manner.
The third prince didn't show it on the surface, but in fact he was still affected by Lan Jiuqing's murderous intent. He felt a little uneasy. When he met Lan Jiuqing's cold eyes, the third prince subconsciously avoided it and said: "You are here because of me."
Come with the map of Kyushu in the king’s hand?”
Kyushu map?
Does the Third Prince have a map of Kyushu?
It's been so long since Uncle Nine Emperors captured the Third Prince, why hasn't there been any news about it?
Lan Jiuqing remained calm on the surface, but countless thoughts flashed through his heart. He never thought that the third prince actually had a map of Kyushu in his hand. This was really... a mistake.
Lan Jiuqing was half-hearted and nodded coldly: "The third prince is really smart. Since he knows why I am here, I ask the third prince to cooperate. The third prince should understand that I am a rough man."
Lan Jiuqing believes that the Third Prince is not lying to him. There are very few people who know the map of Jiuzhou. The Third Prince will definitely have it in his hands when he comes out at this time.
"Nine maps of Kyushu must be collected to be useful. Only one map is useless in my hand. There is no harm in giving it to Lan Xiake, but..." The third prince saw that the bait he threw out was useful, so he put it out
He looked unpredictable and profound, waiting for Lan Jiuqing to take the bait.
"It's just what?" Lan Jiuqing was very embarrassed and "took the bait".
The third prince was secretly happy in his heart, but on the surface he remained calm and said calmly: "It's just... I gave the map of Kyushu to Young Master Lan, what will Young Master Lan give me in return?"
"Repay you? How about leaving your body intact?" Lan Jiuqing moved the sword forward, only a fingernail away from the third prince. The third prince was startled and sat up involuntarily, seeing that Lan Jiuqing had not killed him.
What he meant was that he relaxed.
"Young Master Lan is really good at joking. As a member of the former dynasty, Young Master Lan should understand the importance of the map of Kyushu. Is it not an exaggeration to exchange my life for a map of Kyushu?" The third prince stated his conditions.
Opened it out.
For Lan Jiuqing, the Third Prince didn't want much and just wanted to leave alive. But for the Nine Emperors Uncle, this condition was higher.
If the third prince disappears at this moment, Uncle Nine Emperors will be charged with deceiving the king. If he doesn't want to die, he must turn against...
It has to be said that as brothers they are all very similar. Whether it is the Emperor, the Third Prince or the Nine Emperors Uncle, they are all equally ruthless and have no fraternal feelings towards their own brothers...
