"You said I betrayed the general?"
The shock on Meng's father's face was quickly suppressed, and he stared at Li Nanke with cold eyes, not concealing his murderous intent at all.
Li Nanke smiled and said: "I don't know if you betrayed your general, but I am sure that the emperor secretly assigned you a mission. But don't worry, I won't tell General Bei about this."
Li Nanke released his kindness and sincere attitude as much as possible.
No matter what, the other party is his future father-in-law.
But we can't let both sides become enemies.
Meng's father's expression changed, perhaps in his heart he was weighing the credibility of Li Nanke's promise.
He glanced at Gu Ying, who was always vigilant, and after confirming that he was not sure of killing these two people, he said lightly in a compromising tone: "Whatever you want to know, I will tell you as much as possible."
This is an unequal transaction.
Use information in exchange for the other person's tight-lippedness.
Even if the other party has no evidence, it is still enough to threaten him.
"Sticking to the topic just now, why do you think the emperor accepted Hong Yu?"
Li Nanke asked.
Father Meng was silent for a while, then slowly uttered two words, "Eternal life."
Immortality! ?
Although Li Nanke was surprised when he heard this answer, he was not surprised.
As an emperor, he has endless wealth and supreme power, as well as the most beautiful women in the world at his fingertips. There was only one thing he couldn't get.
That is immortality.
Throughout the ages, how many emperors have longed for immortality, but have died on the road to pursuing it.
This is human nature.
The appearance of "Red Rain" undoubtedly made the emperor see this possibility.
Red Rain can make people "resurrect from the dead", or survive in another world in the form of monsters...it is more or less linked to "immortality".
Now that the hook is hooked, is it really possible to find a way?
Li Nanke thought of the altars and experimental places he had seen. From this point of view, Emperor Bai Yaoquan is indeed studying something.
"But this is just my guess."
Father Meng said.
Li Nanke looked at him, "Then do you have any other guesses?"
Father Meng thought for a while and asked: "The eldest princess was born six months ago, have you heard of her?"
"I heard that she was paralyzed from birth."
Hearing the other party mention his other daughter-in-law, Li Nanke's heart skipped a beat, but the expression on his face seemed very calm.
Father Meng deliberately lowered his voice, "I guess the eldest princess is just a tool of His Majesty."
tool?
Is it a tool used to study "immortality"?
Thinking of the strange red rain Gu worm inside the eldest princess, Li Nanke slowly clenched his fists.
But even though he is the most ruthless emperor, would Bai Yaoquan really use his own daughter for experiments?
Li Nanke was upset.
He felt that the current eldest princess was like a firefly stuck in the quagmire, glowing with crystal clear and beautiful light, but unable to escape the fate of dying.
"Do you know the eldest princess's mother?" Li Nanke asked.
"Zhao Qingyan was named Qing Fei by His Majesty." Father Meng replied, "She is a saint of the perfect yin and yang sect."
Sure enough, it has something to do with the Yin and Yang Gate.
The strange ballad girl covered in flowers appeared in Li Nanke's mind again.
It has been confirmed that the singing girl is Zhao Qingyan.
It also shows that Zhao Qingyan was once resurrected and became a grave man.
If Zhao Qingyan had become a grave person, then the eldest princess, like Princess Shanyun, was also born from a grave person?
In other words, the eldest princess and Princess Shanyun should not exist in this world?
Li Nanke took a deep breath and was about to ask something more, when the baby in Gu Ying's arms suddenly cried "Wow".
Gu Ying hurriedly went to coax him, but the next second, there was a roar from above the stone chamber, and a bloody tentacle penetrated the cracked stone roof.
"My daughter...give...to me..."
The hoarse voice that didn't sound like a human voice came intermittently, which was terrifying.
It's Mrs. Bei!
Li Nanke and Gu Ying were shocked.
Meng's father looked at the terrifying scene in the sky, his face turned pale, and he quickly took out the small military crossbow he carried with him and shot at the tentacles.
This thing has a hammer effect on monsters.
Li Nanke wanted to complain, but suddenly he saw an arrow with a light yellow streamer fired from the crossbow, which penetrated directly into the tentacle, and instantly ignited flames.
Is it a magic weapon?
Li Nanke was quite surprised.
Piercing screams came from the cracks, and tentacles wrapped in fire waved wildly.
"Let's go!"
Father Meng threw away the useless crossbow and tapped the stone wall on the left with his elbow.
In the middle of the stone chamber, a dark underground passage suddenly appeared.
Li Nanke motioned to Gu Ying, who was holding the child, to go first, and followed behind.
The three of them entered the secret passage and walked in the dark until they came to a sparse forest. Surrounded by low hills and mountains, as well as faintly visible villages.
"Have we left the village?"
Looking at the village in the distance, Gu Ying's pretty face was filled with surprise, thinking she had passed through the barrier.
Li Nanke shook his head.
Because through the "clairvoyance" ability, the barrier can still be seen, indicating that they have not left the scope of this village.
He tried to take the baby girl away, but was still blocked by the barrier.
"The monster can't catch up here for the time being. It's still safe here, but you can't stay for too long."
Meng's father's face was still a bit pale, and it was obvious that he had not recovered from the monster attack just now. "Where are you going?"
"And you?"
Li Nanke asked rhetorically.
"I'm leaving this hellish place to report to the general. If you want to see him, you can come with me."
"We can't follow you."
Li Nanke said helplessly.
He already had a guess in his heart that the barrier in front of him was a barrier dividing time and space.
As long as he and Gu Ying walked out of the barrier, they would return to the original timeline.
So they couldn't have taken the baby.
Otherwise, everything would be in chaos when the infant Luo Qianqiu met her future self.
Li Nanke thought for a while, handed the baby to Father Meng and said, "Please give this child to General Bei and explain her identity."
"You're crazy!"
Gu Ying, who was still wary of Meng's father, saw this and rushed to snatch it, but was stopped by Li Nanke, explaining: "He can take the child out."
"But……"
"Don't worry, I can trust him. He will definitely hand Qiu'er over to her father." Li Nanke pressed the woman's shoulders and comforted her.
Gu Ying opened her red lips and finally chose to believe Li Nanke.
Meng's father was also confused at this moment, and he didn't understand what the other party meant by this move.
Only then did he truly feel Li Nanke's trust in him.
Very strange.
It was obviously the first time the two met.
It even felt like the other person looked at him with respect, as if he was looking at an elder.
But the two of them are about the same age.
Father Meng looked down at the baby girl in his arms, hesitated and reminded:
"I can give the child to the general, but I can't guarantee whether the general will kill her. After all... the general hates people who have an affair with Hongyu the most."
"Will not."
Li Nanke, who knew the future plot well, shook his head firmly.
It was impossible for Bei Wenliang to kill his daughter.
Even if she doesn't care about family ties, Luo Qianqiu is still valuable. She can disguise the identity of her eldest daughter, Princess Shanyun, to deceive the emperor.
Father Meng sighed softly, "Anyway, I've warned you, it's up to you whether you listen or not." After saying that, he turned and walked deeper into the forest.
"Wait a moment."
Li Nanke stopped him, stared tenderly at the cute baby with crystal tears on his face, lowered his head and kissed the other person's face gently.
"I am waiting for you."
Li Nanke whispered softly.
Meng's father's eyes suddenly became strange.
The look in Li Nanke's eyes was like looking at a pervert.
This guy shouldn't have any serious illness.
Grandma's face looked human-like, but I didn't expect it to be a pervert.
If you have a daughter in the future, you must stay away from this guy.
Father Meng was secretly vigilant.
