After retiring from the dynasty, Zhou Xiao ordered Guo Nu to lead the army to arrest Qian Chong's relatives and put them all in prison.

The money is heavy, and Zhou Xiao did not hand it over to others for interrogation.

Rather, he was imprisoned for personal trial.

Qian Zhong was chained to the torture rack.

Around him, hundreds of torture instruments have been brought up.

A dragon chair was placed directly opposite Qian Chong, and Zhou Xiao was sitting on the dragon chair, sipping tea.

"Geng Zhi was killed by you?" Zhou Xiao asked, playing with the teacup.

"So what?" Qian Chong knew that he couldn't live, so he simply admitted it generously.

"You're lying. Zhou Xiao still understated.

But Qian Chong's heart trembled.

What does he mean by that?

Qian Zhong couldn't help but speculate in his heart.

"It was clearly killed by someone from the Secret Pavilion. Before Qian Zhong spoke, Zhou Xiao said.

It's a psychological game.

Zhou Xiao deliberately said things that were not very clear, so that it would give Qian Chong Zhou Xiao the illusion that he knew everything.

A trace of horror flashed inadvertently on Qian Chong's face.

He was about to speak, but Zhou Xiao took the lead again: "Tell me everything in the Dark Pavilion and Qin Zhan's whereabouts." ”

"I don't know!" Qian Zhong was extremely stubborn.

"I don't know?" Zhou Xiao laughed, raised his hand slightly, and suddenly a soldier pressed Qian Chong's son up.

"Dad!" Qian Chong's son Qian Feng immediately shouted when he saw Qian Chong, with a crying tone.

"Feng'er ......" Qian Zhong saw Qian Feng, and then stared at Zhou Xiao, "What are you going to do?"

Zhou smiled: "You have two choices. Tell the secrets of the Dark Pavilion, every time you say one, I will spare you a relative from death. ”

"You can also choose not to say it. ”

"Then I will behead your relatives one by one in front of you until you say it. ”

"You threaten me?" Qian gritted his teeth with hatred.

"It's not a threat. Zhou smiled, "I'll count down to the three, if you don't say it, your son Qian Feng will become the first sword revenant." ”

"Three ......" Zhou laughed and counted the first sound.

Money is struggling in my heart.

"Two ......"

Qian Chong's heartbeat couldn't help but quicken.

"One ......"

Qian Zhong is still hesitating.

When Zhou Xiao's voice fell, the executioner pressed Qian Feng to the ground, raised the butcher knife, and then slashed it with a swing.

Seeing that the next moment, Qian Feng's head was about to fall to the ground.

Qian Chong's psychological defense line collapsed in an instant.

"I say!"

"I said!!"

The weight of the money is almost shouted out.

The executioner put away the big knife at the last moment, and the blade was less than a centimeter away from Qian Feng's neck.

Qian Feng was so frightened that he was incontinent and trembled all over.

Zhou Xiao raised his hand, and then Qian Feng was dragged out.

"That's right. Zhou Xiao's face was as usual.

Qian Chong now had no choice, and after sorting out his thoughts a little, he said: "Even if you know the secret of the Dark Pavilion, you can't fight the Third Prince!"

The third prince in Qian Chong's mouth is naturally Qin Zhan.

Zhou Xiao heard this strangely, he is now the emperor Laozi, and the third prince is the third son of the emperor Laozi......

In this way, seniority is arranged,

forehead

Happy to be a dad!

Pick up a big fat son for nothing.

After secretly being happy in his heart for a while, Zhou smiled and said, "This is not something you should worry about." Just tell me what you know. ”

In the next time, Qian revisited the lives of his family, and told everything he knew.

The more Zhou Xiao listened, the more shocked he became.

It turned out that when Qin Qiang was in charge of the Great Zhou, several princes were secretly intrigued.

The crown prince's position was supposed to be inherited by the eldest prince, but the third prince didn't know what means he used to get on the line with the people in the dark pavilion.

Originally, the Dark Pavilion was only in the hands of Qin Qiang, and some of them defected to Qin Zhan.

So it wasn't at all as rumored by the outside world that Qin Qiang took the initiative to hand over part of the power of the Dark Pavilion to Qin Zhan......

The Qin Zhancheng Mansion is quite deep and good at layout calculation.

After mastering the Dark Pavilion, in order to successfully seize the throne, he began to win over various sects and families to join the Dark Pavilion.

In just a few years, the Dark Pavilion has gradually grown.

Even Qin Qiang didn't know how far the Dark Pavilion had developed in Qin Zhan's hands.

In the end, Qin Zhan could only be appointed as the crown prince and let him inherit the throne.

After Qin Zhan obtained the position of the crown prince, the Dark Pavilion was still expanding, and until now, in addition to the first sect in the Great Zhou Dynasty, Chengtian Sect, is a member of the Dark Pavilion, there are also many small sect forces. In addition, two of the four major families are also supporting the dark pavilion behind them.

In addition, a large number of people from the rivers and lakes have joined.

The Dark Pavilion has become a second court outside the royal family......

Zhou Xiao felt a great threat.

"Late the night before yesterday, it was the person from the Secret Pavilion who assassinated me?" Zhou Xiao asked.

"It was arranged by the three princes. Qian Chongdao, "The assassination was unsuccessful that day, and a large number of killers will visit the palace in the future." ”

"In addition, in the Great Zhou court, there are also people from the three princes. ”

"Who?" asked Zhou Xiao.

Qian Zhong shook his head, "The third prince didn't mention it, except for myself, I don't know who the others are." ”

Zhou Xiao's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest.

After a while, he said, "Since the power of the Dark Pavilion is so huge. Then why did Qin Zhan not wave his army and directly enter the palace and regain the throne after Qin Qiang's death?"

"The third prince still has one more important thing to do, and after completing that thing, that is, when he returns to the palace. "Qian Zhengdao.

"What's the matter?" asked Zhou Xiao.

"The third prince discovered the dragon vein mineral deposits in the 100,000 mountains in the south, and has led the elite of the Dark Pavilion to explore the 100,000 mountains. It's been more than a month now. That's all I know. Qian Chongdao, "The masters around the third prince are like clouds, and when he returns, you will be defeated!"

Zhou Xiao was noncommittal.

With the system as a support, Zhou Xiao has nothing to worry about.

However, he was somewhat interested in the so-called dragon vein deposits......

knew about the Dark Pavilion and Qin Zhan, and Zhou Xiao did not retry it.

Swing back to Taihe Palace.

He immediately summoned Yang Hu and ordered Yang Hu to take an elite team to the 100,000 Mountains to investigate.

If you find Qin Zhan's traces, report it immediately.

After Yang Hu left, Zhou Xiao casually took a copy of the Great Zhou and the information about the Kyushu mainland that Wei Zhong had found.

"Kyushu Chronicles?" Zhou Xiao looked at the book in his hand.

His knowledge of the world was quite limited, so he couldn't help but be curious and began to read.

According to the records of "Kyushu Chronicles", the mainland of Kyushu has a history of hundreds of millions of years, and in the long river of time, an incomparably brilliant civilization has emerged.

Today's Kyushu continent is divided into nine major states: Qingzhou, Leizhou, Yunzhou, Selangor, Jianzhou, Lingzhou, Huangzhou, Xuzhou, and Zhongshenzhou.

Among them, Zhongshenzhou is located in the center of the mainland, with abundant resources and strong clouds.

It is the most powerful state in Kyushu.

Each of the nine states is ruled by the Kyushu Imperial Family, each dominating one side.

For example, the Central Shenzhou is ruled by the Holy Dragon Imperial Family, while in the Wasteland is the world of the Barbarian God Imperial Family.

The Great Zhou was located in Yunzhou, which was ruled by the Burning Heaven Imperial Family.

Compared with the vastness of Yunzhou,

Da Zhou is just a small place......

"It seems that Da Zhou still has a long way to go. Zhou Xiao sighed......
