When the Queen heard Xu Changlao call out "Zhufu", the queen's heart went cold. When she heard the word "faint king", her whole body felt cold.
Also feeling cold from head to toe was Zhang Yuanqing, an old man from the Qinglong Gang who was not only a swordsman but also an acquaintance of Xu Chang.
Encountering such a development almost blocked his path
Zhang Yuanqing simply stopped pretending and said coldly, "You know me!"
Xu Changlao's expression changed from shock to excitement, and then from excitement to hatred. "Three years ago, you were hunting in autumn in the southern suburbs. Several assassins sneaked into the Sheep Palace to kill you. They failed. Three of them escaped, and one of them escaped. It’s me. Has Your Majesty already forgotten?”
The entire copy is full of unscrupulous people who want to harm me! Zhang Yuanqing sensed the strong hatred and hatred in the other party's emotions, said no more, and turned his head to look at the Queen.
As the Hunjun who is hated by the Qinglong Gang, no matter what he says, the other party will sneer at him. If he talks too much, it will only anger the other party, so he simply won't say anything.
Mr. Xu Chang would definitely wonder why the dignified king of a country became a stupid thief and why he appeared here, so he would not kill him for the time being.
In this situation, she could only leave it to the Queen to perform. Xu Changlao took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and returned to seriousness and composure.
"Mr. Xu Chang, I have something to complain about." The Queen is indeed a big-hearted person. She understood Master Tianzun's eyes and took the opportunity to speak.
"Wang Bei, take them to the basement." After thinking for a while, he personally pulled Zhang Yuanqing out of the car, held him by the collar and strode away.
Zhang Yuanqing felt awkward hanging in the air like a chicken, and said angrily: "I am the king of a country, how dare you be so rude, put me down quickly."
Wang Beiwang looked at the backs of Xu Changlao and Zhang Yuanqing with dumbfounded eyes. Until this moment, he had not recovered from the shock just now.
Cousin Li Erdan is the emperor Zhao Shun. Why did the emperor show up at my house? I spent a whole day with Zhao Shun, the emperor, but I didn't kill him!
No, I stabbed him. I actually stabbed the emperor.
The candlelight flickered, and in the dim basement, Wang Beiwang's mind was in a mess. He didn't wake up until Xu Changlao's figure disappeared in the corridor, and hurriedly picked up Jiang Jingwei and the Queen and chased after them.
Zhang Yuanqing wore shackles on his hands and feet and sat stiffly against the wall, unable to speak or move.
Mr. Xu Chang paid great attention to him. Not only did he not relieve Ruanjin San, but he also tapped his acupuncture points. Now, several acupuncture points all over his body were injured by finger force and became numb. It would take several hours at least to recover. Next to him is Jiang Jingwei, who is treated similarly.
The queen was not there, and was taken to the secret room next door by Xu Changlao.
In the room separated by a wall, the queen told Xu Changlao what happened in the palace.
"This is what happened. After escaping from the palace, I met His Majesty by the river in the south of the city, and we hid in a private house with him. Unexpectedly, it was Wang Beiwang's home."
Xu Changlao sat at the table, holding the porcelain cup in his palm without moving or speaking for a long time. Even as an elder of the Qinglong Gang, he still had to spend time digesting such important information.
The Zheng family rebels, the emperor is in trouble, and the Southern Dynasties may usher in an unprecedented coup.
Although the Qinglong Gang is a gangster force, it also has a heart for the country and the people, and cannot ignore such major events.
After a full quarter of an hour, Xu Changlao suddenly asked: "Since you have escaped from the palace and are with Hunjun, why don't you bring him here?"
The Queen faced those sharp sword-like eyes that seemed to be able to penetrate everything and spoke her thoughts without any panic; "Because I don't want His Majesty to die."
In front of the swordsman, lying will make you lose your status advantage and make the other party no longer trust you. Since you can't lie, it's better to confess.
Hearing this, Xu Manglao ordered and hummed, "Why, are you in love with the emperor? Back then, your father asked for help for the people but ended up being executed. The gang leader admired your father's character, so he took action to save you. Now the enemy is right in front of you. , but you are moved by compassion, are you worthy of Mr. Zhu and the gang leader?"
"Mr. Chang, let me explain." The queen took a deep breath and read the draft she had prepared: "Zhao Shun is indeed dim, but he is not the culprit. According to my observations over the years, Zhao Shun only knows how to have fun in the palace. , has no interest in government affairs, most matters in the court are decided by Zheng Wenhan. He is like a knife, Zheng Wen is the culprit."
Zheng Wenhan said these are the truth. Seeing that Mr. Xu Chang was unmoved, the queen continued: "I have one more thing to report to Mr. Chang. I know who the main messenger behind the Zheng family is."
Xu Chang frowned, "Is there anyone behind the Zheng family?"
The Queen nodded repeatedly, "It's the Imperial Master."
Mr. Xu Chang suddenly changed his expression: "You are talking nonsense. The Imperial Master is a master of Taoism. He hangs a pot to help the world, loves the country and loves the people. How could he do such a thing?"
The Queen looked directly into Mr. Xu Chang's eyes and said, "Mr. Chang, you have a pair of eyes that can see into people's hearts. You can tell at a glance whether what I say is true or false."
The two looked at each other for a few seconds, and Xu Changlao's expression gradually became solemn. He mused: "The emperor is incompetent. The national master may support the Zheng family because he wants to promote change."
"Is Mr. Xu Chang still a fan of the imperial master?" the queen sneered, "reform by sacrificing three hundred boys and girls?"
"The announcement during the day was issued after His Majesty escaped from the palace. It was promoted by the Zheng family and the Imperial Guard. Does Mr. Xu Chang still think that the Imperial Guard is patriotic and loves the people?"
Xu Changlao's expression was startled!
The queen continued: "There is one more thing I want to report to Mr. Chang. The Zheng family secretly colluded with the commander-in-chief of the Northern Dynasty, Shiba Rentu. One day, the Zheng family calculated their position and found a way to get rid of the Yang family, and then fed the 50,000 frontline troops to the Northern Dynasty. Take it as a surrender to Tuoba Rentu, and Tuoba Rentu's army will march directly to the capital to support the Zheng family."
"Is this happening?" Xu: Mr. Chang crushed the porcelain cup with a "click" and was furious. What kind of impact was this? Even higher than the appearance of Zhao Shun, Zheng Wenhan was in charge of the cabinet in front of him. Although he didn't want to believe it, Zhu Fu's micro-expression told him that the other party was not lying.
The Queen struck while the iron was hot: "So, all the culprits are Nian Wenhan, not Your Majesty. Although he is insignificant in his years, his crimes will not lead to death."
Immediately he realized that he had lost his temper and put away his emotions.
Elder Xu said calmly, "This matter is of great importance. I want to tell the gang leader whether what you said is true or false. The gang leader can make his own decision."
The Queen asked: "Your Majesty, he...".
Xu Changlao showed a cold and stern look: "As a king of a country, being stupid and incompetent is the biggest sin. You said that the culprit is Zheng Wenhan, but that's not true. Zhao Shun, who dotes on the pregnant minister, is the culprit and must be killed. "
The queen argued hard: "But Mr. Chang, your majesty is an important chess piece. Only with him can we threaten Zheng Wenhan. "
Xu Changlao hummed: "That is a matter for the court and has nothing to do with the Qinglong Gang. The purpose of the Qinglong Gang is to kill the faint king and eliminate harm for the people. However, I will save his life first and report it to the gang leader and let him make the decision." .”
The queen's expression changed slightly, thinking that she would rescue her teammates as soon as Xu Changlao left.
Unexpectedly, as soon as this idea came up, Xu Changlao said: "You come with me to help the leader.
The Queen nodded and said, "Before I leave, I want to see Your Majesty."
Xu Changlao did not refuse.
The two immediately left the secret room and came to the next door.
Looking at Jiang Jingwei and Yuanshi Tianzun who were sitting stiffly against the wall, the queen saluted: "Your Majesty, I want to follow Xu Changlao to see the gang leader. The gang leader understands the righteousness and will definitely let you go."
She gave Zhang Yuanqing a "solemn" look and left without saying anything.
Wang Beiwang, who was guarding the door, immediately closed the iron door.
Xu Changlao looked at his subordinate and disciple, and said: "I will go out for a while, and you will guard here. No one can get close to this place. If Hunjun makes a mistake or escapes, you are the only one to ask."
Wang Beiwang lowered his head and said, "Yes!"
Zhang Yuanqing couldn't hold back his expression as he listened to the footsteps of the two people gradually leaving until they disappeared.
At this point, I have almost guessed who the biggest danger and enemy will be in the 72-hour side mission.
Leader of the Qinglong Gang!
That heroic hero who hates evil will definitely die when the gang leader arrives. After all, Zhao Shun is a genuine and uncompromising king.
Even if he is eloquent, the leader of the Qinglong Gang will not let him go. If he didn't hate Hun Jun deeply, how could he arrange for a beautiful woman to enter the palace to assassinate him?
I'm trapped in this hellish place, and there's no possibility of moving reinforcements. What should I do?
Zhang Yuanqing thought hard about countermeasures.
Jiang Jingwei next to him said happily: "We don't have to die."
"We will definitely die when the leader of the Qinglong Gang comes. But it is always a good thing to die a few hours late. Jingwei, don't you think what should we do?"
Jiang Jingjingwei's eyes moved rapidly, thinking hard.
After a long time, she tried: "I will blow myself up and help you blow a hole in the wall?"
"Good comrade, it's not time to sacrifice for the revolution yet. And if you blow yourself up in this position, you will take me with you to sacrifice!" Zhang Yuanqing sighed. Since forming a team with Jingwei, he has sighed more than before. many.
"Can you use the fire props?" he asked.
Jiang Jingwei shook his head: "No."
"The old man injured my meridians, and the spiritual power is not flowing smoothly in the body. I can't use fire power, nor can I use props."
"Then why did you blow yourself up?"
"Self-destruction requires no operation."
"Okay!" Zhang Yuanqing sighed again.
He thought to himself, I am really at the end of my rope, and I am actually starting to look forward to Jingwei.
In this situation, self-rescue is impossible. We can only hope for teammates or friendly forces in the dungeon to come to the rescue. But they are hiding among the people, and their whereabouts are hidden. The enemy can't find them, and neither can their teammates.
Now that they are trapped here, the probability of friendly forces finding them is almost zero.
While he was frowning, the sound of hurried footsteps came from the corridor outside the iron gate, followed by a scolding voice: "Aniu, stop! Mr. Xu Chang has an order, no one is allowed to approach."
A Niu, a muscular man in civilian clothes, stopped in the distance and yelled: "Looking north, something bad is going to happen!"
"Your father is outside the door, and your sister has been captured and castrated by the court to be sacrificed to heaven as a boy or girl."
