Chapter One Hundred and Sixty-Eighth: After Autumn Asking
After the emperor took Tang Chen out, he stepped back and looked at Tang Chen: "Do you know what she said?"
"have no idea."
The emperor watched his expression become increasingly serious and said, "That's how the brothel girl you went to find died. Don't you know?"
Tang Chen's face changed. He saw that the emperor actually knew his whereabouts completely, but this was normal. In the world, it was not the king, but it seemed that he had to be careful in everything he did in the future.
The emperor's hands slowly and rhythmically touched the dragon robe. The sharpness in his eyes seemed to be able to see through people's thoughts and said: "As long as there is nothing happening in the country that I don't know, I just give you a general."
If this is an opportunity to atone for your sins, I will naturally let you go if this is done, but if not, you can continue to come back here and wait until the Queen of Autumn to ask for execution!"
"Is it true that the emperor didn't do this?" Tang Chen looked at the man in front of him and said, "I also heard that a large number of spirit masters gathered in the palace some time ago. The emperor is the biggest in the palace..."
"No." Before Tang Chen finished speaking, the emperor smiled and said, "I am not the biggest in this palace. By the way, it is really inconvenient for me to investigate this matter, so I will leave it to you."
After saying that the emperor just stood up to leave, Tang Chen said: "Does the emperor want me to check someone who is older than the emperor?"
The corner of the emperor's mouth rose slightly and he turned to look at Tang Chen: "I told you to check those spirit masters." After saying that, he walked out. Tang Chen was still standing beside him in a daze. The prison boss came in and said, "Okay, hurry up.
Get out, this is the first time someone can get out of the death row. Mr. Tang will definitely be rich and powerful in the future!"
Tang Chen smiled bitterly and walked out. As soon as he left the cell door, the cell leader shouted: "Someone has escaped from prison! Catch him quickly! If he is caught, shoot him!"
Tang Chen was stunned: "Fuck!" He yelled and ran out quickly. At this time, a carriage passed by quickly and a man wearing a mask shouted: "Come up!"
Tang Chen jumped onto the carriage and the horse galloped away. The people chased for a while and then stopped chasing. Tang Chen said: "Thank you!"
"You're welcome!"
Unexpectedly, Li Yunfei's voice came out of the veil. Tang Chen was really surprised and happy, and said, "Why are you here?"
"The King Xian went to the house today and told me that you had a plan to escape from prison and asked me to pick you up."
"Wise King?" Tang Chen frowned and sorted out the whole thing in his mind, and said, "Damn, this emperor really arranged it very well. He still wants to arrest me after he lets me out."
"What's the meaning?"
"Let's go first. It must be unsafe here now!"
Li Yunfei took him to a house made of bamboo. This house seemed to have some history. There was a small vegetable garden around the house and a stream flowing through it. It was like a paradise. Tang Chen squatted down and drank from the stream.
He came up with a cup of water and took two sips of water and said: "Your Majesty went to the prison today to release me and asked me to deal with the matter of the spirit master who appeared in the capital recently. As soon as I came out of the prison, someone came to arrest me..."
Li Yunfei tied the horse to a peach tree and asked doubtfully: "You mean the emperor let you go and then arrested you? I heard King Xian said that you wanted to escape from prison, so... what on earth is going on?"
Tang Chen sighed and walked into the room and said, "I think this matter is definitely not very simple. Who do you think is the person in this palace who is older than the emperor?"
"Bigger than the Emperor?"
"Queen Mother!" The two people said in unison, Li Yunfei said: "Why do you ask this?"
"What the emperor said today is that the person who summoned the spirit masters is the Queen Mother, and the one who went on a killing spree in the capital was also the queen. He asked me to investigate these spirit masters."
"You agreed?" Li Yunfei said.
"Can I come out if I don't agree? Besides, it's no big deal if those spirit masters want to harm people and I'll do them a favor. Who knew this emperor could be so insidious and cunning."
Li Yunfei paced back and forth in the room, mumbling: "It's over, it's over, it's bad! You may really be over this time!"
"What do you mean?" Tang Chen was a little dizzy looking at him and sighed: "Can you sit down! I feel like I have a headache!"
Li Yunfei stopped and looked at Tang Chen and said, "Don't think about anything else now and run away. It's still too late to run away."
"Speak clearly!"
Li Yunfei sat down with one hand on the table, and said with a look of horror in his eyes: "You are usually quite smart, why are you suddenly stupid now? We can't afford to offend these two, who is the Queen Mother? That is the Emperor.
Damn it, you helped the emperor get those spirit masters, and what’s waiting for you is the Queen Mother’s punishment. I have heard some rumors over the years that the queen mother has many spirit masters, and they are all very powerful."
Tang Chen sighed and said: "What should I do now? I will definitely be caught when I go back. For now, I think the emperor is the greater threat to me. I think I should help the emperor now."
Li Yunfei pulled Tang Chen and said hurriedly: "Don't think about helping anyone yet, we have to leave now. This is what my father has done. Both the emperor and the queen mother know that we have to run away!"
"Why are you running?" Tang Chen suddenly changed his mind and said with a smile: "The emperor has carefully set up this situation. There is no need to run away. At least the emperor's people will definitely not find this place."
"What do you mean, you really want to die? Do you know that if they find you here, my father will be implicated by you!"
Tang Chen sighed: "Sit down first and listen to me."
Li Yunfei sat down with a frizzy look on his face, still looking a little dishonest. Tang Chen said, "I suddenly thought of something just now. What does the emperor mean by letting me go and arresting me again?"
"What's the meaning?"
"Just to hide my identity of helping him."
"Then what?"
Tang Chen smiled and said: "The emperor asked the Xian Wang to tell you that I am going to escape from prison just so that you can take me away. Only if you take me away will the Queen Mother treat you and me as the same people. I believe that when the Xian Wang went to tell you,
The general must be here too!"
"Yes, but he didn't say that I was the one who asked me to rescue you without permission!"
"That's right. Next, the enemy of your enemy is your friend. Just wait here for the Queen Mother's people to come."
Li Yunfei still didn't understand what Tang Chen meant: "It would be too dangerous for you to change places. If the emperor's people really find this place and say that I have hidden prisoners on death row, my family will be implicated."
"I promise you that this kind of thing will never happen. The Emperor will never come here to find me." Tang Chen saw that he was still a little nervous and said: "Otherwise, I will be here alone. Anyway, you have nothing to do.
It's normal for me to come in by myself, like the lock, so it has nothing to do with you."
