When Zhang Yinguo was discovered, the once-famous prime minister was hiding in a cave outside the city covered in filth.
The cave was dark and damp, filled with a rotten smell.
Zhang Yinguo held a wooden stick in his hand, leaning against the innermost stone wall of the cave, looking at the three people in front of him warily.
"Who are you? I don't remember offending three of you."
"Prime Minister Zhang, we are Huayang Sect disciples, and we want to ask you something." Jiuze said.
"It turns out they are some immortal elders." Zhang Yinguo put down the wooden stick in his hand and raised his hand to straighten his clothes.
"It turns out that Prime Minister Zhang knows about our Huayang Sect," Jiuze said with a smile, "Then Prime Minister Zhang must have guessed why we are here."
Zhang Yinguo took out a handkerchief from his sleeve pocket, wiped off the dirt on his face slowly, and put away Zou Baba's handkerchief. Then he looked at Jiuze and the others and asked, "Can the three immortals tell me?" Old man, why didn’t I die?”
"It must have something to do with my lethargy these days, right?"
Jiu Ze was not involved in this matter. He glanced at Shen Yi and Tian Yun and said, "In other words, Prime Minister Zhang, do you know why your colleagues died?"
Zhang Yinguo stared at Jiuze and the others for a while before asking: "Did something happen in the palace? Has your Majesty... gone?"
Jiu Ze said: "Yes, Rong Mingxuan has associated himself with the evil way, and has already..."
"Evil way... Hahaha, evil way." Zhang Yinguo suddenly laughed, bowed deeply toward the outside of the cave, and did not get up for a long time.
"I have also read that book of Kung Fu. His Majesty accidentally obtained this book and wanted to practice it, so he asked me to consult it."
"The Chinese characters in that volume are so profound that I can't understand them, but there are some words in them that I think are quite right. There are millions of techniques in the world, so how can someone be able to learn a magical skill and do whatever they want? With these people, even if they are respected On the 95th, I will still be held hostage."
"It's just a different path, evil way?" Zhang Yinguo chuckled twice, "It's just that your Majesty didn't succeed."
"Zhang Yinguo, as the prime minister of a country, you don't know how many evil things your emperor has done and how many innocent people he has killed in order to practice this evil art, right? Let's not talk about the distance, let's just talk about the garden on the outskirts of Ancheng. , and when the prayer ladder caught fire, one hundred and ten people were burned to death in that one time!"
"Zhang Yinguo, if you win, you must win with justice. Do you dare to expose the things your emperor has done to the world?"
Zhang Yinguo looked at Qian Yun, then at Jiu Ze, and sneered: "I don't want to argue with you."
"This time, not this time," Zhang Yinguo looked at Jiuze: "We lost, the Rong family lost, Qiyue lost."
"You are the only ones who are defeated." Khotan said.
Zhang Yinguo smiled: "Will Qiyue Kingdom still exist?"
"Prime Minister Zhang, please tell me why those important officials died?" Shen Yi on the side said calmly.
Zhang Yinguo looked at Shen Yiyi for a while and suddenly smiled: "Okay, now that the matter is over, why not tell you? They were not burned to death, right?"
"Not bad." Khotan said.
Zhang Yinguo sleeved his hands and stared at the rock wall in front of him: "I can't understand the content on the bamboo slips. Your Majesty is very disappointed. But I just let it go. I thought that the matter was really over like this. Unexpectedly, one day, Your Majesty suddenly I introduced a man to me, his surname is Jimo, and he has great celestial skills. Mr. Jimo seems to be able to teach your majesty. I don’t know the specific details. I only know that your majesty has trusted Mr. Jimo more and more since then."
"Until civil strife broke out, His Majesty suddenly summoned me and asked me to ask Mr. Jimo for help when needed."
"Originally, this was nothing. I heard from Xu'er that the man from the prayer tower was going to betray Qi Yue, and then I realized that your Majesty had already expected that that man would take this step. In this case, he must have some plan with Mr. Jimo."
Having said this, Zhang Yinguo paused for a moment before continuing: "I am just executing the plan of His Majesty and Sir."
"Their plan is that if it fails, all the important personnel will be left behind?" Jiuze asked.
She always felt that this was not something an emperor would do. If none of the important members of the court were to be retained, his heirs would be faced with a chaotic and possibly long-term chaotic situation.
"Of course not, this is what sir requested."
"If we die, no one will tell his secret."
"What secret?"
Zhang Yinguo smiled bitterly: "He is not an immortal, he is a monster, a monster that should not appear here."
"We dare not say anything when he is alive, but even if he is dead, we are required to keep the secret."
"Even if he is a dragon, it's not a big secret. What else did you see?" Jiuze asked.
"Dragon?" Zhang Yinguo was startled, then said, "So it's a dragon?"
Jiuze looked at Zhang Yinguo: "What do you know?"
"I originally couldn't understand why sir was so decisive, but if it's a dragon, it makes sense."
Zhang Yinguo looked at Jiuze and the others and smiled: "As for the reason, I think the ancestor of the prayer tower should be able to figure it out. I won't say more."
"you!"
Just as Tian Yun was about to curse a few words, Shen Yi stopped him.
Shen Yi spoke softly: "You just said you were executing Rong Mingxuan's plan. What is his plan?"
Zhang Yinguo turned his head slightly, glanced at the ceiling of the cave, pursed his lips, and then said: "His Majesty has passed away, is his plan important?"
Tianyun was not angry: "You can just say it if I ask you to. Do you have to force us to feed you the Mantra Pill?"
Zhang Yinguo paused and didn't look at Qian Yun for a while, "Why waste it? That's all I said."
"Your Majesty just made a bet. If you win the bet, you will destroy the Rong family and prevent future troubles. If you lose the bet, the country will be destroyed and the family will be destroyed."
"It seems like your Majesty has completely lost."
Zhang Yinguo smiled: "Maybe."
"If that one can make it through."
"What do you mean!" Jiu Ze took a step forward, and Liu Ye put his hand directly on Zhang Yinguo's neck.
"That's what you heard," Zhang Yinguo said calmly, "Sir, he once told us that in order to truly deal with the ancestor on the territory of Qiyue Kingdom, we must first disintegrate her influence on the people of Qiyue, especially Ancheng.
The image in the hearts of the people. When she is no longer the belief of the people, it will be much easier to deal with her."
"So, I speculate that the ancestor's greatest reliance should be the people's belief in her. My son has already taken care of this. You should have had a battle with the teacher. With the teacher's cultivation, unless that person uses her
Without the power stolen from my Qiyue subjects, it would be impossible to defeat Sir."
"Now that you are here, the outcome has been decided. I'm afraid it will not be easy for her to break the contract again."
"How do you know that Senior Sister is unwinding the contract?" Jiuze asked.
"Hahaha!" Zhang Yinguo laughed, and then asked: "What do you think?"
Rong Mingxuan and Heizhi actually calculated to this point!
Jiu Ze looked at Zhang Yinguo and his eyes darkened: "Why did you tell me?"
"Of course I don't want to take your medicine anymore." Zhang Yinguo's tone was a bit teasing, but also a bit serious: "Actually, although I haven't woken up these days, I have been awake all the time. I know that I didn't die this time. It must have something to do with you. I don’t want to owe any favors, so now we are clear."
"After all, your original intention was not to help me."
"Okay," Shen Yiyi said, "We will trust you just once. Prime Minister Zhang, please take care of yourself."
The three of them walked out of the cave.
"Wait!" Zhang Yinguo suddenly shouted, "How is my family?"
Tianyun turned around and said, "Your house is almost burned down. Zhang Bang is dead, but your wife and Zhang Xu are alive."
"Thank you." Zhang Yinguo murmured: "Bang'er..."
When Jiu Ze and the other three left, a sad cry came from the cave behind them.
