It turned out that the dangerous aura he felt in the cave turned out to be these things, it seems that those who have not been made into corpses have been reduced to their food, these things must have been raised by the false emperor.

With the entrance of the cave in front of her, Zi Yao slowly moved towards it, trying to avoid the softer sand and broken bones on the ground, so that she would not make a sound and avoid angering the bats.

After walking for almost fifty meters, Zi Yao saw the situation at the entrance of the cave, this was actually Yangmingshan on the north side of the palace, but he didn't expect that he would walk directly here in the palace, it was really incredible.

Before Zi Yao could poke her head out to observe the situation outside the cave, the bats behind her rushed towards the entrance of the cave like a tide, Zi Yao quickly lowered her head and hid herself behind a boulder, and threw an enchantment on her body again.

A black and red rushed out, and it took a few minutes to fly clean, Zi Yao let out a sigh of relief, and saw that there were no bats around, and quickly poked out of the hole to observe, it turned out that there was a cliff outside, no wonder no one found it.

Zi Yao flew out of the cave, relying on the dagger in his hand to constantly rub against the cliff wall to gradually slow down his speed, and then he arrived at the bottom of the cliff safely, standing here that the cave could no longer be seen.

Put away the dagger and ate a Guyuan Dan, after all, at this time, it is necessary to ensure that the spiritual power is abundant, click on the system map on the arm, and only return to normal at this time, Zi Yao understands that this map can only mark the general terrain, and it is almost useless for the underground and some more complicated situations.

With the early morning sun, Zi Yao returned to the Qingguo Mansion half an hour later, and Murong Xu, who had been courted by the porter, walked towards the door and met Zi Yao who was entering the door.

Murong Xu's face was not good, and he pulled Zi Yao's arm without saying a word and returned to Dongyuan, and the servants and subordinates were all held back, and then he let go of Zi Yao's wrist.

Looking at her from one glance to the next, Zi Yao knew that Murong Xu was worried about her, and smiled at Murong Xu.

"Don't worry, didn't I come back safely!"

Murong Xu sighed, stood up and looked out the window, "I know that Zi Yao is a capable person, and her martial arts and medical skills are top-notch, but your unauthorized actions really make me very worried."

Besides, if you are found in the palace at night, you don't know what a crime it is, how can you be so reckless, even if you need 100,000 to go in a hurry, you can call me, I will accompany you there!"

Zi Yao's eyes widened, "You, you accompany me to visit the palace at night?"

Murong Xu nodded, "Yes, accompany you to visit the palace at night, since you want to go, you naturally have your reasons, I am now your third senior brother, although I am not as outstanding in martial arts as you, it is no problem to give you a cover and a sentry." ”

Zi Yao opened her mouth slightly, looking at Murong Xu's eyes in disbelief, how could she hear a hint of confession in such words, since this is the case, Zi Yao also wants to further let him feel his heart.

"You are the upright General Murong, and Zi Yao's background is unknown, and there are many conspiracies around him, I don't want to put you in a crisis because of this, so I went alone. ”

"Don't say that, you're my ......"

Murong Xu stared at Zi Yao, who was only half an arm's length away from him, only his own reflection in his clear eyes, and the most secret nerve in his heart was plucked again.

Such a beautiful and young face made Murong Xu's heart moved, but thinking that he was almost thirty years old, he still couldn't hold back what he wanted to say, and originally stretched out his hand to touch Zi Yao's cheek, but he paused halfway through.

"It's my Murong Xu's seventeenth junior sister, no matter who is standing opposite, I will protect you. ”

Zi Yao glanced at Murong Xu's withdrawn fingers, as well as the words that had been changed to junior sister, her eyebrows trembled slightly, she pursed her lips tightly, took a step back, lowered her eyes, and bowed.

"Thank you for the love of the third senior brother, but I will still find and explore my life experience, thank you for the grace of taking in. ”

Murong Xu looked at Zi Yao with lowered eyes, as if he was being clenched fiercely in his heart, knowing that it was because of what he had just said that made her sad, which was the last thing he wanted to see, so he cleared his throat and tried his best to change the topic.

"What did you get out of last night?"

Zi Yao nodded, "The harvest is extremely huge, but I don't know where to start, before telling this, Zi Yao wants to ask General Murong, are you loyal to the Northern Wei Kingdom, or to the emperor?"

Zi Yao's words echoed in the room like jade beads, Murong Xu looked at Zi Yao with a straight face, knowing that what Zi Yao talked about next would be related to many secret things, Murong Xu raised two fingers of his right hand above his head and swore an oath.

"My Murong family has been loyal to martyrs for generations, and only the people of the Northern Wei Kingdom and the Northern Wei Kingdom are loyal, and I, Murong Xu, also swear to abide by the ancestral teachings and be loyal to the Northern Wei Kingdom to the death. ”

Zi Yao bowed, "I believe you, what I told in a while is too shocking, I hope you can listen to me carefully!"

Zi Yao sorted out her thoughts, "Yesterday morning, when you went to the court, I sneaked into the palace, although I have no memory, but I am extremely familiar with the palaces, so I sneaked into the emperor's bedroom without encountering any investigations."

Not long after the emperor came back from the next court, he walked to the east side of the dragon bed and opened an extremely secret mechanism, so I followed him to the secret room, who knows what kind of secret room is under the dormitory, it is comparable to another underground palace.

After many passages, and many well-guarded rooms, we came to a most heavily guarded stone house, with a large wooden frame and steel chains running through the man's lute bone.

In the underground fortifications, all the guards and guards looked like ordinary people, and they could complete his orders without the emperor's orders, but they didn't speak or give salutes without any breath and internal force, and I found out out out that these people were more advanced corpses after exploring out of curiosity.

I was shocked by this discovery, and I followed the Emperor's footsteps more carefully, and the Emperor and the captured man talked a lot, and kept talking about a man named Wanyi. ”

Zi Yao continued: "At this time, I knew that the captured person on the shelf was actually the real Eight Kings!

Although the distance is far away, the familiarity he gave me made me feel an indescribable pain in my heart, as if the feeling of blood connection reminded me of who I was.

In their conversation, I learned that this emperor was just a close friend of the Eight Kings who met in Nanyi when he was young, and after coming to the Northern Wei Dynasty, he killed the real emperor, ruined his appearance, and made the emperor's face into a mask and put it on his face. ”

Murong Xu didn't panic too much when he heard such a horrific narration, he just looked at Zi Yao with wide eyes, he knew that Zi Yao must have been frightened.

Speaking of this, Zi Yao trembled, thinking of the fake emperor's dignity when he took off his mask, he retched for a while, and only after holding the table with his hand for a long time did he come over, took a cup of tea handed by Murong Xu, and continued to speak.
