"Zhang Hu is preparing to enter the Linghua Mansion."
After reading the urgent report from Zhao Quan in his hand, Jiapo decided to go to Linghua Mansion.
No matter whether Murong Qing's temperament really changed, or he was just pretending before, and the children whose bodies were found only with skin and bones when they disappeared, he had to go and see for himself. He always felt that all this was related to the mysterious person who rescued Jia Baoyu. There is an inseparable relationship.
In the study room of Linghua Jiedushi's residence, a mysterious man wrapped in a black robe was sitting on the Jiedushi's throne, looking at the middle-aged man below, and asked in a hoarse voice.
"How long will it take to prepare the blood of three thousand boys and three thousand virgins that I asked you to prepare?"
Facing the mysterious man in black robe, the middle-aged man lowered his body very low and trembled all over.
"My servant has accelerated the search. Please give me some more time."
The mysterious man was obviously dissatisfied with the middle-aged man's answer, and spoke in a hoarse voice with a cold snort.
"Hmph! You don't have much time. If you delay this important event of this divine envoy, you know the consequences. I can make you Murong Qing or let someone else take your place."
Faced with the threat of the black-robed divine envoy, the fake Murong Qing suddenly became frightened. He knew that once he lost Murong Qing's face, he would be left with nothing but life worse than death, so he immediately issued a guarantee
"Don't worry, God's envoy, I will definitely not miss the God's envoy's important event."
Facing the fake Murong Qing's assurance, the divine messenger didn't take it to heart but focused his gaze on the big-faced young man lying on the ground.
"Take this man down, he is still useful to me, don't let him run away. After saying that, he waved his hand and let the fake Murong Qing leave.
After the fake Murong Qing left the study, he handed the young man to his servants, turned around and walked towards the secret cell of the mansion. When he walked into the depths of the secret cell, he saw a middle-aged man with his head and limbs tied by iron chains and hanging in the air. His whole body was covered with blood. scars.
Looking at the middle-aged man hanging in the air, Murong Qing walked up to him.
"Murong Qing, what do you think? If you agree to hand over the handsome seal, how about I let you go?"
Looking at the face in front of him that was exactly like his own, Murong Qing's eyes were full of anger and he cursed: "The shameless thief pretended to be me and destroyed my ancestor's inheritance. You will definitely die...!"
As Murong Qing's curses became more and more unpleasant, the fake Murong Qing couldn't help but became furious and stretched out his hands to strangle Murong Qing's neck and said viciously: "You are just a prisoner now, your life is in my hands whether you live or die. In just one thought, I promised you that as long as you hand over the handsome seal, your family would be reunited, so why would you seek death?"
Being choked by the fake Murong Qing, he couldn't continue to curse. Murong Qing's eyes were still fixed on the fake Murong Qing's words.
"Don't... think about it!"
Fake Murong was not surprised at all by this answer. If it was so easy for Murong Qing to hand over the handsome seal, Murong Qing would not have to suffer so much. Perhaps because he was afraid that Murong Qing would really be strangled to death, Fake Murong finally let go of his hand. , planning to use Murong Qing's wife and daughter as blackmail.
"Don't you think about your wife and daughter? Have you ever thought about the life they live now?"
After his neck was released, Murong immediately started coughing violently. He calmed down slightly and glared at the fake Murong Qing and said:
"Ahem! I... a member of the Murong family... would rather die than surrender to the devil and harm my own compatriots like you. If you want me to... ahem! Hand over the seal of command, don't even think about it."
"Murong Qing, I admire your backbone very much, but you must understand that those who understand current affairs are heroes. Tomorrow is the last chance I give you to hand over the seal of command. I will let your family reunite." After saying this, Murong Qing turned around and left. go.
Watching the fake Murong Qing leave, Murong Qing didn't take the fake Murong Qing's words to heart at all. A person who surrendered to the devil would be a fool to expect his words to be true.
When the fake Murong walked out of the secret prison, his face instantly darkened. For more than a month, Shuai Yin has not been found, and Murong Qing has never revealed the whereabouts of Shuai Yin.
After all, Murong Qing was not the first generation Jiedushi, and he did not have the prestige to mobilize the entire army on his own. Without the commander's seal, he could not mobilize the 150,000 troops of Linghua Mansion, or even appoint new generals.
Nowadays, the imperial court has sent 50,000 troops to garrison outside the Linghua Mansion. Once the imperial court issues an order to the Linghua Mansion's soldiers without the commander's seal, how can they resist it?
Just when the fake Murong Qing had a headache, one of Murong Qing's confidants quickly came to report it.
"Lord Ling Yaguan sent a letter to Zhongping County Prince Jiapo."
"When did it happen!" Fake Murong Qing was shocked by the news. He knew Jiapo's name and knew what he was doing in Jiangnan. He couldn't figure out why Jiapo came here.
"My lord, it is said that they were part of the Zhenwei Army who arrived yesterday. They set off at noon today and have already passed Lingya Pass. Five hundred of them will be able to reach the government office in the evening at the earliest."
Hearing that Japo would be able to arrive at the government office in the evening, the fake Murong Qing felt panicked. If Japo found out that he was fake and that he was involved in those boys and girls, he would be doomed. He suppressed the panic and waved to Murong Qing. The confidant stepped back and turned towards the study.
As the fake Murong Qing left, the confidant just now appeared again where Murong Qing was standing.
As a confidant, he could naturally feel Murong Qing's drastic change in temperament. Moreover, the fake Murong Qing was always mysterious and could not produce the commander seal when giving orders several times, which made him suspicious.
Moreover, he would come to the secret room every day, which always made him feel that there was the real reason for Murong Qing's sudden change of temperament in the secret cell.
At that moment, it was confirmed that no one around was heading towards the secret cell. I had followed Murong Qing for more than ten years and had been with Murong Qing many times, so I was naturally very familiar with the layout of the secret cell.
Soon this confidant appeared in front of the secret room where Murong Qing was imprisoned.
Murong Qing in the secret room thought that the fake Murong Qing was back and roared towards the door of the secret room.
"What are you doing here again? I told you that even if the Murong family members die, they will not give up their handsome seal and join the devil. You have given up on this idea."
"grown ups?"
Murong Qing's voice was so familiar to his confidants, how could he forget it, so he quickly opened the secret room mechanism and entered.
"You are Han Yu, how can you be you?"
I thought it was the fake Murong Qing who came, but I didn't expect that it was his confidant Han Yu. This made Murong Qing feel happy, but he was afraid that this was the conspiracy of the fake Murong Qing.
"Han Yu, do you think it was the fake who asked you to trick me?"
Han Yu naturally knew that Murong Qing would not believe him casually now, and he did not dare to stay here too long, so he bowed to Murong Qing.
"My lord, you don't need to say anything, and I can't judge whether you are a real lord or not, but I can tell you that Prince Japo of Zhongping County is here. I will find an opportunity to find the prince to judge your identity."
In fact, Han Yu was already inclined to think that the person imprisoned here was the real Murong Qing, but he didn't dare to take a gamble. He could only tell Murong Qing the news first and let Murong Qing hold on, while he went to Jiapo to ask Jiapo for help.
Murong Qing didn't know if Han Yu was lying, but he could only hold on to a glimmer of hope.
"Han Yu, if what you say is true, then you will be the benefactor of my Murong family, and from now on you will be my brother, Murong Qing."
Hearing what Murong Qing said, Han Yu didn't say much. The top priority was to ask Japer to come and rescue Murong Qing.
"My lord and your subordinates must leave first. Madam and Miss, you don't have to worry, they are fine."
Murong Qing didn't talk nonsense. After nodding to Han Yu to indicate that he understood, Han Yu quickly turned around and left.
