Han Lu said lightly: "Has the prince ever seen Lord Hou appear in the past few days?" ”

Dingguo Gong stared at Han Lu with a bright light, and stood up excitedly: "You said, the undead legion that was taken away by that treacherous person was taken back by Daoist Su again?!" ”

Han Lu smiled silently, which made Dingguo Gong think that he was acquiescing, and he suddenly high-fived and said: "Okay, if the young master does not give up, Qi is willing to serve the dogs and horses." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Han Lu lowered his head, forced himself to calm the leaping meaning in his heart, and asked lightly, "How is the concubine in the palace lately?" ”

mentioned his beloved eldest daughter, and there was a heartache in the eyes of Duke Dingguo: "Hey, when King Yan entered the palace, my son was allowed to enter the middle palace." ”

Speaking of this, there was a cold look in his eyes: "However, back then, the two of them only performed the ceremony of husband and wife, and they did not seal the queen for a long time, I thought they were just waiting for an auspicious day, but I didn't expect King Yan to be the queen of the seal, and moreover, he wantonly enriched the harem." ”

"Lin Er, I have been in the palace extremely painfully all these years, and the child in my womb three months ago has not been saved." Dingguo Gong seemed to feel sorry for his daughter, but in fact, he showed Han Lu that the Qi family would not turn against the concubine.

After speaking, seeing that Han Lu was still unmoved, Ding Guogong continued: "The last time the insider entered the palace to meet the concubine, she cried bitterly, saying that if she could leave the palace for a day, she would have no regrets!" ”

Hearing this, Han Lu seemed to be a little moved: "Miss of the Mansion of the Dignified Country, it is really heart-wrenching to fall into this field!" ”

As soon as these words came out, Dingguo Gong was very determined, and at the same time, he also treated this young man who was not as young as the weak crown, worthy of being the son of the dragon and phoenix, and he had the decision of the city government at a young age.

No wonder, it will be selected by Su Daochang, since God bless him to succeed, then he must follow the will of heaven.

After making up his mind, he treated Han Lu more respectfully, as if he regarded him as the future prince, since Han Yan inherited the unification, he always acted carefully, except for official business, he closed his door to protect himself.

Even so, Han Yan still used him as a thorn in his side, wanting to get rid of his son quickly.

Fortunately, the daughter was born in Tianzi and the country, and from time to time in the palace for the Qi family to win the emperor's heart, she was able to keep the position of protecting the city of Duwei, which could have been graced for nine generations.

After the daughter who was a concubine three months ago was killed and aborted, the emperor's favor gradually thinned, and while Qi Lin was heartbroken, Qi Yuan, who only had one son and one daughter, was also disappointed in King Qi.

Moreover, from his daughter's mouth, he vaguely learned that King Qi always recruited demons and evil people into the palace, brutally harmed the palace people, and sought immortality with evil methods.

Therefore, when he heard that the former king had been killed and the prince was left behind, he had a heart to defect.

At this time, after Han Lu agreed with Qi Yuan, he handed him a military talisman, which was a strange soldier commanded by his father when he was on the battlefield, so the soldiers and generals were all equipped with martial arts.

After Han Yu ascended the throne, he trained them to be secret guards and directly obeyed him, and when he decided to take advantage of Han Yan's position, he gave each of these strange soldiers a large sum of silver taels and sent them home.

After Han Yu abdicated, he received a talisman to summon the secret guard, and there was a letter that wrote that if one day the king of Yan had no way, he asked the king to take this talisman to the Sanlidian outside Luoyang City to order the secret guard.

Han Yu only put it away as a commemorative object at that time, but he didn't expect that twenty years later, his son would really use this talisman.

"Young master, do you really entrust this important task to the old minister?" After Liu Wei listened to Han Lu's words, he knelt on the ground excitedly.

Unexpectedly, this Congolese young man gave him such a big surprise on just one side.

Han Lu hurriedly bent down to help him up: "The great cause of resetting the throne depends on you, Guogong, and now, all my subordinates in Luoyang have been killed, and I can only rely on you for help." ”

Qi Wei saw that he was earnest in his words, so he naturally understood his situation, and if he was not forced to do so, he would not have to pretend to be a woman to visit him in person.

Thinking of this, he solemnly put away the talisman and said to Han Lujin: "Now, although I am in charge of tens of thousands of city defenses, the army is still in the hands of General Xie, and those soldiers and generals are all General Guo's subordinates, so our top priority is to go to Guojia Village and ask the general to go out of the mountain." ”

Not mentioning the secret conspiracy between Han and Lu, it is only said that after Su Qing changed his appearance, he did not go to the Qi Palace, but strolled through the streets and alleys of Luoyang City, seriously sensing the qi of this originally royal capital.

The more places she walked, the deeper her brows wrinkled, there was really something wrong with the qi in Luoyang City, and there was a hint of impossible haze in the originally clear sky.

Looking at the hurried people on the street, there was no smile on their faces, and there was an indescribable sadness on Mu Ran's face.

When she came to the place where the civilians lived in the west of the city, she was surprised to find that no matter how big or small the courtyard was, the gate was tightly closed, as if it was guarding against something.

She remembered that when she came to Luoyang City decades ago, even though the Qi State was at war with other countries, although the people in the city had family members who cared about the battlefield, they still opened their doors and chatted about the war situation from time to time in addition to being busy.

Now, although it is a peaceful season, the people have the intention of planting plants and trees to be soldiers.

This made Su Qing feel very puzzled, and when she saw a small tea shed at the entrance of the alley, she walked over and asked for a tea herbal tea, and two mixed breads to sit down.

"Guest, your tea." An old man in his sixties placed a large bowl of tea in front of her.

Su Qing glanced at the empty alley, and asked as if unintentionally, "Uncle, why is the street so deserted?" ”

The old man lifted his face, sighed and said, "Now that the government collects heavy taxes, if you can't pay them, not only will the house be unsafe, but your family will be arrested and taken into slavery." ”

Speaking of this, he said in a low voice: "So, the people in the city are trying to find a way to make a living, no, the government has pointed out a clear way - as long as each family sacrifices a child over five years old and under twelve years old, they can be exempted from taxes." ”

"It's okay for people with a lot of children in the family to say, even if they are flesh and blood, but like a girl who always wants to marry, they send it. It's just that the family with a thin income, or a child of a certain age, is miserable, so they can only go to the Holy Palace to do hard labor for money. The old man said in a sad voice: "I have only one grandson in my family, so naturally I am reluctant to let him be taken away by the government, but helplessly, my son went to the holy palace, and there has been no news for three months." ”

"The Holy Palace?" Su Qing raised his head and asked curiously, "Where to cultivate?" Why haven't I heard of it in the days I've been in the city? ”

The old man approached her and said in a low voice, "I heard that the holy palace was built by the secret order of the prince of Qi, in order to obtain the method of seeking eternal life. ”

Immortality again! Is Han Yan crazy? A mortal, immortal without a trace of cultivation? If it is really simple, there will be no such people in the world as cultivators.

It is undeniable that many cultivators seek to enter the Tao with the retribution of entering the Tao, hoping that one day they will be able to live together in heaven and earth! 、

Su Qing chuckled: "Since King Qi wants to seek immortality, why don't you go to Immortal Mountain and ask, what is the use of cultivating a holy palace?" ”

The old man was like a bosom friend: "What the gentleman said is very true! Everyone said that he was deceived by Wu Hou and others, and not only seized the power of General Guo, but also imposed a large amount of taxes, built a holy palace, and repaired a spiritual canal. ”

It turns out that this is the case, no wonder Luoyang's local atmosphere is different, such a labor and money, wanton groundbreaking, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be moved.

This Han Yan can really toss, no wonder Han Lu is plotting to seize the throne.

In this case, it is better to go to the so-called Holy Palace to see what Han Yan is messing with, and as for that Wu Hou, he has a chance to find out what he is.

After making up his mind, Su Qing took pity on the old man and still had to worry about his livelihood, leaving a dime of silver and quietly leaving, and went straight to the holy palace in the south of the city.

If it weren't for the old man's explanation, she really wouldn't have found out that the Holy Palace was originally built under a lake.

Looking at Nanming Lake, where there was a faint smell of fishy breath, Su Qing couldn't help frowning: Han Yan, who was the king of Qi, actually broke ground on his own dragon vein, no wonder the emperor's qi was declining.

Fortunately, this is not the eye of the qi vein, otherwise, the country of the Han clan would have already changed hands.

Su Qing easily bypassed the layers of defenses and came to the entrance of the so-called Holy Palace, in the pavilion in the center of Nanming Lake.

"Tuesday, how did you get out, is the side door ready?" Suddenly, a tired voice came from under the water, and Su Qing, who had attached a concealment charm, jumped on the top of the pavilion, only to see that the place where he had just stood was gently pushed away, and two middle-aged men came out of it.

"You two, you don't want to live anymore, do you? How dare you come out without permission!? As soon as the two of them appeared, they only heard the guards by the lake, holding spears and shouting.

Hearing the sound, the two of them were so frightened that they immediately drilled back, and Su Qing took this opportunity to sneak into it like electricity.

"Brother Li, why are you pushing me? I said that you can't go out casually without instructions, and you still don't believe it, and you were almost caught by the official. "Tuesday said with some complaints.

The man who was called Brother Li let out a sigh: "I just want to go out to breathe, it's too stuffy here." ”

Su Qing, who came in with the two, followed them cautiously at first, in order to prevent the mechanism from being touched, and startled the snake.

From the mouths of the two people, they learned that they were originally famous craftsmen in Luoyang City, and they were forcibly transferred here to build the holy palace three months ago.

"Tuesday, did you hear that? The day before yesterday, someone fainted and was thrown into the death pit! I don't even dare close my eyes now. Brother Li approached Tuesday and said mysteriously: "The little third son who joined hands with me was obviously just asleep, but he was taken away by those people and thrown into the death pit, and when he was carried away, the work on his hands had just been done." ”

Tuesday paused and asked with a frightened face, "Could it be that the rumors are true?" When the Holy Palace was built, none of us could get out? ”

Brother Li said with a pale face: "Maybe so, you see, the group of people at the East Gate, except for those who came to help, who got out alive?" ”

Su Qing, who had been following behind them, thought in his heart: No wonder the old man looked so sad when he said that his son went to work in the Holy Palace, it turned out that these people had to be buried for this evil palace.

Thinking of this, she gasped: This so-called holy palace is really evil!

After the two of them came to the south gate of the Holy Palace, along the way, Su Qing also roughly figured out the mechanism settings inside, I have to say that her luck is very good, and the arrangement of the organs here is in charge of Tuesday herself.

He was afraid that Brother Li would enter the organ by mistake, and he specially explained the characteristics of the organ of his holy palace and the distribution of it, all of which Su Qing listened to.

There are also capable people in the secular world, and the design of this organ is not much worse than that of the cultivation realm, Su Qing couldn't help but praise in his heart.

Originally, the trick was created by ordinary magicians, and most craftsmen knew some, but few people were proficient in it.

In the cultivation realm, the mechanism technique of the Thousand Machine Gate is the most famous, but I heard that the most powerful method of the mechanism is Zhang Tianshi back then.

I have to say that the withering of the Fu Sect is the biggest loss in the cultivation world for thousands of years.

Carefully avoid the mechanism all the way, and soon, Su Qing came to the east gate that had been built, looking at the huge black jade platform in the hall, Su Qing felt an inexplicable feeling of boredom in his heart.

After walking closer, an aura of familiarity emanated, and Su Qing turned his head sideways and thought carefully for a long time before he wanted to remember-the poison of the blood fish!

Heh, I didn't expect this kind of aura to be on this stone, could it be that the demonic thing behind Han Yan, the king of Qi, turned out to be the North Sea Demon Beast?

Su Qing intuitively felt from the bottom of his heart that things were not so simple.

Today, since she was met by her, she must find out what this matter is all about.

When did the wanton monster become so weird, it's really incredible. Su Qing carefully looked around the black jade platform, and found nothing suspicious, so he continued to walk towards the main hall.

Oh, there is a huge pool in the main hall!

What's even more strange is that the huge pool is also based on black jade, and a huge purple-black bud grows alone in the middle.

There are no branches, no leaves, no roots, only a flower bud floating on the water surface, if it weren't for the strange aura it exudes, Su Qing would have thought that the flower buds that were several zhang big were still stone carvings standing in the pool.

Su Qing was looking at the strange flower, and suddenly heard a scream outside, Su Qing subconsciously hid to the side, and as a result, she saw two people wrapped in black cloaks from head to toe, carrying a person with a face full of fear and desperately struggling to come in, she didn't figure out what was going on, only heard an 'ordinary' sound, and the person was thrown into the flower pond.

Su Qing saw with his own eyes that the moment the person entered the water, he let out a heart-rending scream, and as soon as his body entered the water, a foul smell was emitted, and then white bones appeared.

After all, she couldn't watch a fresh life fall in front of her, and Su Qing casually cast a spell to support the man who had been corroded by half of his palm.

Fortunately, the two men wrapped in black cloaks threw the man into the pool, but walked away quickly.

Indeed, after they left the main hall, Su Qing pulled out the man who had fainted in pain and quickly sprinkled him with high-grade muscle cream.

Watching his corroded skin and flesh heal little by little, Su Qing looked at the pool of water suspiciously: Could it be sulfuric acid?

However, she soon realized that the root was not sulfuric acid, but carrion oil that was a hundred times stronger than it.

"Master Hou, I don't know if you're here, I'm too young to be there!" With a gruff and ugly sound, several people in black cloaks came in with angry faces on their faces.

"Far away? How do you go out to greet you things that you can't see? He said in a snarky voice.

Hearing this, all the black cloaks around him didn't dare to speak, and silently followed him to the Taisho Pool. (To be continued.) )
