Now Li Ming is getting more and more mission clues, but the situation is looking increasingly bad!
The second prince now has the upper hand. He not only controls the outer city of the imperial palace, but also gathers a huge force of no less than 100,000 in the imperial city...
The most critical thing now is the situation of the underground passage. Once the secret passage is dug, no one can stop the second prince from launching a royal rebellion!
Now even the mausoleum-suppressing beasts in the imperial mausoleum are controlled by the other party, and even Princess Ningxin can't help but panic.
"Your Highness, please rest assured that the Second Prince's conspiracy is still in the planning stage. We still have a chance..." Li Ming quickly comforted him, but he had not yet thought of a better way...
"The matter is already very urgent. If the second emperor really digs through the passage, he will immediately use explosives to deal with the father and the prince. By then it will be irreversible!" Princess Ning Xin said nervously!
.
"Now we can't take care of things in the palace. We can only solve the secret passage and the imperial tomb first..." Li Ming said with a frown.
"What? Aren't you going to help me rescue my father and the crown prince?" Princess Ning Xin asked angrily.
"Your Highness, you should know that the core of the second prince's conspiracy is to get rid of your majesty and the prince as soon as possible. As long as they are around, the second prince will never be able to ascend the throne, so his deployment in the palace must be more detailed," said
Maybe even the demon masters have lurked in the designated location, and we can't even get out of the palace's outer city, so how can we care about the affairs inside the palace?" Li Ming sighed and asked.
"This..." Princess Ning Xin was stunned.
"They can even deal with mythical beasts. This shows how much effort they have put into this conspiracy. The Imperial City must be in crisis. We have to solve this conspiracy. The point is not that..." Li Ming seemed to have thought of something.
According to all his previous thoughts, the struggle for imperial power must be designed to involve the entanglement between His Majesty and the two princes. As long as he finds a way to rescue either His Majesty or the Crown Prince, he can perfectly solve this task...
But now he discovered that the imperial mausoleum was no longer safe, and even the mythical beasts didn't know what was going on. This showed that the opponent's strength had far exceeded his expectations!
Moreover, the opponent's focus is all concentrated on the palace. The Human Emperor and the Crown Prince must have been secretly surrounded. Once the passage is dug through, the Second Prince will gather heavy troops to surround the entire outer city of the palace. When the explosives are set on fire, His Majesty and the Crown Prince will be buried.
And within the palace...
The second prince immediately put the blame on the princess and ascended to the throne justifiably!
Therefore, the secret tunnel for transporting troops is just a measure taken by the second prince to ensure a stable situation, and the real core of the conspiracy is still the inner city of the palace...
At that time, the demon masters will also take action immediately, working together internally and externally to launch an attack on the temple, and the entire Imperial City Mountain will surely fall into the hands of the demons!
Now Li Ming is not only thinking about the safety of the Human Emperor and the Crown Prince, but also the future of the entire Destiny Empire and the Temple God Clan...
Besides, what could he do to save the Emperor and the Crown Prince?
"You mean, no matter what happens in the palace, we only need to prevent the Second Emperor's troops from entering the palace?" Princess Ning Xin asked doubtfully.
"Yes, if the second prince wants to seize the throne legitimately, then he cannot become a vicious beast that harms your majesty and the prince. So what I have to do is to avoid the possibility of him setting the blame. As long as he has no chance of setting the blame, then
Your Majesty and the Crown Prince should be safe." Li Ming quickly comforted him.
"Tell me, what are you going to do next?" Princess Ning Xin calmed down a little from her panic.
"We know nothing about the situation of the imperial mausoleum. Now we have to go and see the situation. Only by finding out what is going on there can I make the next plan." Li Ming thought.
"Go to the imperial mausoleum... I will take you there, but I don't know how to activate the mechanism." Princess Ning Xin said helplessly.
"It's okay. The current mechanism may have been cracked by the second prince long ago. We just have to wait for the passage to be opened." Li Ming smiled faintly and bowed to ask the princess to go first.
The group of people immediately returned along the mountain road and walked quickly towards the imperial mausoleum...
Along the way, Li Ming kept turning his brain, thinking about the solution to this crisis.
After all, now he has obtained more and more clues, and he is no longer in a situation where he didn't know anything at the beginning...
After careful analysis based on the clues he obtained, he didn't pay attention to the road under his feet. He just followed Her Royal Highness the princess all the way forward. Unknowingly, the five people had arrived at a cliff platform. In the middle of the tall cliff on the right, a magnificent temple appeared.
in front of them.
At this time, Li Ming still didn't pay attention to the situation in front of him, but his eyes flickered because he seemed to have thought of a wonderful plan!
Who said he has no manpower available now? As long as he deploys it properly, he might even give the second prince a surprise...
Things that had been troubling for a long time suddenly became clear in his heart, and Li Ming was very excited.
However, this plan still requires a day or two of careful planning. If one link is not in place, I am afraid it will still fall short!
"Obviously, the imperial mausoleum has arrived, what are you thinking about?" Princess Ning Xin turned around, looked at Li Ming who was still in a daze, and asked curiously.
"Brother Ming, the princess is calling you..." Lonely Ruyan also asked in surprise.
"Uh, we're here, great, let's go take a look quickly." Li Ming finally woke up. Opposite the cliff square in front of him, under the tall mountain wall, a grand palace appeared in front of him.
Under the high stone steps outside the palace, two huge statues of heavily armored generals stand on the left and right, seemingly guarding the imperial mausoleum.
On the high steps, the magnificent palace door is open...
"Hey, why is the gate of the imperial mausoleum open?" a maid said in surprise.
"I have sent people over in advance to explore. She should have opened it." Li Ming replied.
"Let's go in and have a look. The gate of the imperial mausoleum is just an ordinary gate. Only after entering can you see the real gate of the mausoleum." Princess Ning Xin nodded and took the lead to walk towards the stone steps of the palace.
The five people quickly walked through the square, passing by a sacrificial altar, and quickly arrived at the door after stepping up the steps. They saw that the door did open a gap, just enough for a person to enter and exit freely.
Buzz!
The two maids quickly opened the door, and Her Royal Highness the Princess stepped through the high threshold and entered a huge and quiet hall.
There was no one in the broad hall, which was densely covered with countless red wooden pillars carved with dragons and phoenixes. There was a wide passage in the middle, covered with a thick red carpet, all the way to the end of the hall.
At this time, the hall was extremely quiet. Li Ming tried to call the witch to appear, but there was still no response...
Did something happen to her?
Li Ming began to feel nervous...
The princess walked along the long carpet, and after walking forward for tens of meters, a tall altar suddenly appeared opposite the main hall, with a giant stone tablet standing on it. The golden light was shining brightly on the stone tablet, and dense golden fonts could be seen on the stone tablet.
"Come with me, this is the entrance to our Tomb of the Destiny Emperor. This stone tablet records the names of our ancestors. You must not touch it." Princess Ning Xin warned, leading everyone towards the altar...
