Chapter 314: Must Kill
A few figures turned out of Huayang Palace, and flew outside the palace like a green sparrow. One of them resembles Concubine Hua.
"Masterβ"
Tianyi asked worriedly.
"The fact that the demon wind did not appear proves that there is a secret passage in Huayang Palace. Okay, this place is handed over to the Tiansan Demon Wind, and you and Tianer will lead people to attack the chief rudder of the underground palace head-on. β
At the same time, Du Wenmei activated the mechanism on the phoenix couch and dodged into the entrance. It's just that almost at the same time as her, an illusory figure follows extremely quickly, and she doesn't notice it.
Qiu Tiancheng and a few elders were already waiting.
"Ma'am."
Du Wenmei waved their hand to get up, sat on the Taishi chair, and said majestically: "If it weren't for Yi'er's prominent reputation outside and secretly protecting the underground palace over the years, how could there be today." Now that the crown prince has killed his father and ascended the throne, how can he let go of the underground palace? In order to strengthen the dungeon, we can only cooperate with the Yun Clan for now. β
Qiu Tiancheng took the lead in kneeling, prostrate on the ground respectfully, presented the unicorn with both hands and said loudly: "Over the years, Mrs. has been trembling in the palace to take care of the dungeon for the palace master, but the palace master was confused by the demon girl and repeatedly violated the palace rules, and asked Mrs. to preside over the affairs of the dungeon for the great cause of the dungeon. β
The second elder and the third elder glanced at each other, looked at Qiu Tiancheng coldly, and said coldly: "What do you mean by this, the old palace master entrusted the bones back then, but it was not for our four elders to supervise the palace master to convict the palace master. Fooled by a bewitcher? Great Elder, you sold the master of the dignified palace to Gu Li for fifty years in exchange for Ugin equipment, who should be condemned for this crime? β
As the second elder spoke, the wind of his palm was raised, and the Pixiu Order had fallen into his hands.
Qiu Tiancheng was annoyed and angry, and said abruptly: "The wind is traceless, this is what we agreed on in the Discipline Hall!" β
"That's because we don't know the truth." The second elder took out a roll of yellow silk from his arms and threw it to Qiu Tiancheng.
Qiu Tiancheng was almost sure what it was, looked at Du Wenmei, who was trying to suppress her anger, and opened it tremblingly, yes, yes, it was indeed that contract. But he knew that he couldn't tell Mrs. no matter what, so he had to die with a stiff mouth: "Gu Li and Shen Tingge are together, you actually believe him?" β
"Gu Li had already given this contract to Shen Tingge."
"You saw Shen Tingge privately?"
Qiu Tianchang asked coldly.
At this time, the fourth elder Hongyan asked delicately, "Didn't you say that Shen Tingge was a guest of our underground palace?" Besides, I'm 'old friends' with her, so of course I'm going to the meeting. β
Qiu Tiancheng's eyes narrowed, almost vomiting blood angrily, and he couldn't wait to pull Hongyan's collar and ask: So, you originally went to avenge the 'little red' revenge of the year, but she could turn against the old man in a few words!
"That's it!" Du Wenmei frowned and slowly interrupted a few people, glared at Qiu Tiancheng and said, "Shen Tiange is scheming, this matter will be personally verified by your Discipline Hall after the palace master's wedding!" β
The palace master's wedding?
Du Wenmei pressed her head with her hands, sighed and said: "Now the underground palace can be said to be facing enemies on all sides, Gu Li and Bai Liyao have joined forces to get rid of more than a dozen of our rudders, and ruined our trade routes, only by marrying the Yun clan can we survive the current difficulties." β
"I don't know who the lady chose for the palace master of the Yun Clan?"
Red Flame asked in a low voice.
"The grandson of the Lord of Cloud City, the Holy Maiden of the Cloud Clan, Princess Yunxiao."
Hongyan's face sank and he stopped talking. Indeed, only a woman of this status can be worthy of the palace master. Immediately she sneered in her heart, the palace master has always been not close to women, Nantian said, at that time, the palace master was holding the injured herself, they were still frightened, and they were afraid that the palace master's impersonal temperament would come up and throw him out. Thinking of this, her heart warmed, the palace master was different from herself.
"Okay, Hongyan went down to prepare for the wedding, because of the special period, the Yun Clan promised to send the Yunxiao Palace Lord over tomorrow to prepare for the wedding. The second elder and the third elder, the palace was afraid that Bailiyao's people would mix in, so they strengthened their vigilance from now on, and the two elders of Youlao personally went to the valley to investigate. Great Elder, until you find out the truth, you must stay by the side of this palace and not leave without permission! β
"Lady Honor!"
Qiu Tiancheng stayed, and the three elders and others left.
"What's going on? What about your contract? β
Du Wenmei's intuition is not so simple, how can a good five years become fifty years, if Gu Li does something in this one, what about the other?
Qiu Tiancheng hung his head, his face was pale, and he gritted his teeth and said: "My subordinates have personally seen that it is written for five years, but when I came back and looked at it again, I found that fifty years must have been replaced by the young man when he put it in the box." β
"Huh! Thanks to you, you have also learned Western magic, and you didn't even notice that people were stealing beams and changing pillars under your nose, Qiu Tiancheng, you are really old! β
"Madam, the subordinates are incompetent, and the subordinates are willing to punish themselves!"
Qiu Tiancheng knelt on the ground, looking grovelling and servile.
Du Wenmei's plan today did not come to fruition, and she had murderous intentions towards Feng Wuxian and the others, so she waved her hand to get him up, and said impatiently: "Forget it, your life will be kept for the time being." Let's go, go to Huishou Princess! β
Feng Wuxian and Ba Nantian brought a few groups of people except for the underground palace, in the eyes of outsiders, the general rudder of the underground palace is in the valley of Yinping Mountain and Qilian Peak, in fact, it is just a trick, but the real general rudder is in the belly of Qilian Peak, there are many organs along the way, and no one can easily break in. The two of them were in a heavy mood, and Ba Nantian waved his hand to let the little leaders go up the mountain to investigate.
"Without a trace, what do you think of today's events?"
Feng Wuxian looked at the mountains full of Xiao Se, and suddenly felt that he was as old as a dead tree, remembering that he had a strong blood and qi when he followed the palace master to establish the underground palace, and now there is not much left. He sighed and said: "At the beginning, the palace master took care of the bones before feathering, and even asked me to swear to help Madame, so that Madame would have a guard of honor in the palace, and there would be no need to be difficult in terms of money." You and I both know that the palace master founded the underground palace for her. And today...... I'm afraid that I have murderous intent towards you. β
Ba Nantian said angrily: "Although outsiders don't know, you and I obviously know that the palace master is the wife's own child, how can she be so ruthless to her own flesh and blood." β
"You and I don't already know about her ruthlessness. It is precisely because of the mother-son relationship that it is inconvenient for you and me to interfere. I want the palace master to be famous, but it is ruined by the word 'love', and the young palace master is a pure-minded person, and he has been accustomed to obeying his wife since he was a child. β
"Are you watching ......?"
Feng Wuxian interrupted Ba Nantian's indignant voice, and said in a deep voice: "Maybe the young palace master can open his mind after the wedding, or he can pin his trust on the holy woman." Hehe...... The appearance of the young palace master - everyone who sees it is willing to sink, rest assured. β
"Then, Shen Tingge's kindness to the palace master is because of ......"
"Shen Tingge?"
Feng Wuxian muttered to himself, Qi Wai's expression was immediately replaced by joy, and said to Ba Nantian: "You watch here first, and I'll come when I go." β
Because the underground palace is built in the belly of the mountain, most of the houses are the caves, the niche lamps and candles are cool day and night, and the caves are lit with pine oil lamps, and there are no four seasons, day and night of the caves are as bright as day.
Shen Qingge calculated the time from the daily routine of the maid guards, and carved seven lines on the wall, indicating that she had been in the underground palace for seven days. Last night, she deliberately quarreled with the red flame who came to insult her, alarming Feng Wuxian and Ba Nantian, and learned from them that Yunli was punished by Liu Mei and trapped in the cold ice pool. That place remained in Shen Qinge's memory, and she knew that it was the natural danger of the underground palace, a natural deep pool that was cold but not frozen.
After Shen Qingge came to the underground palace, he asked the maidservant for paper and pencils, and wrote and painted every day, all of which were strange symbols, no one could understand them, and they all thought that she was passing the time.
"Princess Shou is really leisurely and elegant."
Shen Qingge raised her head and looked at the face of the seven-point portrait of Concubine Bailiyao's mother in surprise slightly, but soon, she showed a shallow smile. Finally showing up? Then Concubine Hua's layout in the palace has already lost.
"Concubine Hua doesn't want to know what Concubine Ben is drawing?"
Shen Tingge carefully dried the ink on the paper and wrote a few more words.
Du Wenmei gave a look, Qiu Tiancheng walked over and took the paper, and when he saw the lines clearly, he had an incredible look on his face, and hurriedly handed it to Du Wenmei.
"Ordinary gunpowder is hard to match the power of three points, and after the explosion, it splashes on people like lard ointment, viscous and burn-resistant, and it is razed to the ground everywhere it goes! Shen Tingge, what is this? β
Du Wenmei was shocked in her heart, and asked with disdain on the surface. Shen Tingge would never show himself this strange thing for no reason.
Shen Tingge was still sitting on the stone bench with a cushion, and while cleaning up the things on the table, he replied with a smile: "These days, I have nothing to do and recall the Codex of the Emperor Zhaoyang that I have read since I was a child, and I suddenly became interested, thinking about whether I can make a fortune if I really do it." β
Zhaoyang Emperor Codex?
"Could it be the 'forbidden book' that Mei Lingfeng deliberately wanted to get? Isn't that legend? β
Qiu Tiancheng blurted out, although his voice was very low, Shen Tingge still heard the name of 'Mei Lingfeng'. No wonder there is no shadow of him anywhere, could it be that he has taken refuge in the underground palace?
In the end, Du Wenmei was calm, she had heard that this Shen Tingge had a secret weapon on his body, and she didn't dare to walk in too much, and said with a slight smile: "Oh? So Princess Shou can be done? β
Shen Tingge carefully held a small bottle and sighed: "It's a pity that I can only open your eyes, if you really want to destroy the power of a city in an instant, you have to rely on the skillful craftsmen under my brother Gu." β
Hearing this, Du Wenmei subconsciously retreated behind the guards and stared at Shen Tingge coldly: "So, can you let the palace see if what you say is trueβor is it nonsense?" β
"No problem. Then, please find a vacant place with good air circulation, otherwise, if you accidentally destroy your underground palace, it will be worth the loss! β
Shen Qinge smiled evilly, and her cynical appearance made Du Wenmei want to pounce on her and tear her, but she wanted to see the power of that thing even more.
"Go to the Beast Pool."
Shen Tingge was escorted by the guards and walked in front, Du Wenmei was among the guards, the Shen Tingge she knew was cunning by nature and could never underestimate the enemy.
The beast pool in Du Wenmei's mouth is a quagmire, separated from them by three iron fences, and the open space on the left is connected to the quagmire, I don't know what it is used for. The night breeze blew, and the smell of corrosion filled the air.
Although it was a cold night, as soon as the torches were lit, the black monsters in the mud pool climbed ashore one after another, emitting a ghostly light, and scrambled to hit the iron fence, apparently waiting to be fed.
Shen Qingge saw clearly that those monsters not only gasped, but also took a step back subconsciously under his feet. Concubine Hua actually raised crocodiles in the underground palace! And she also feeds people, she is too vicious. Even if, even if her guess is correct, Concubine Hua is indeed Yunli's biological mother...... She has to be removed too, she must be killed!
"Hehehe, how about it, the pets of this palace are cute! They are accustomed to eating human flesh and have become picky eaters. β
Du Wenmei's voice is charming and sultry, but it is all calm.
"You stand back, this concubine is going to start."
Before Du Wenmei could say the word 'slow', the things in Shen Tian's singer had already been thrown into the beast pool, and at the same time, she quickly retreated and hid behind the stone wall.
