Chapter 30: Trapped
There was a rush in the main hall of the Zhenbei Palace, and a few little girls waved the dust to shake up a cloud of dust in the lobby.
Zhou Chengzhen covered her mouth and coughed loudly.
"Uncle Nineteen," he shouted, and thought of something again, "His Royal Highness the County King, His Royal Highness the County King is here on the emperor's orders, and I can't call Uncle Nineteen for personal affection." ”
The King of Dongping County looked indifferent, and did not react to the chaos in front of him.
"Your Royal Highness, you see, this town has not been welcoming guests for a long time, and you came suddenly, and you are sluggish." Zhou Chengzhen said.
King Dongping looked at him.
"Suddenly?" He said, "You should have known from the moment you fled with your wife that I was coming, right?" ”
Zhou Chengzhen laughed.
"Uncle Nineteen." He pleaded again, and grabbed the sleeve of the king of Dongping County with grievances, "I'm married, but my grandfather hasn't seen my wife yet, I want him to see it, and I will go back to the capital after reading it." ”
King Dongping smiled.
"Zhou Chengzhen, why do you say these scenes?" He said.
Zhou Chengzhen glanced at the servants around him.
"It's not Uncle Nineteen, you set the scene first." He grinned and said, "Aren't you just justified when you raid your house later?" ”
The prominent guard of honor, as well as the words of loud reprimand at the door, let the people know that something had happened to the Zhenbei Palace.
Although it was very sudden, it was not sudden, this disaster was caused by the prince of Zhenbei.
This seemingly simple scene is enough to make the people mentally prepared.
"You reprimanded me on behalf of the emperor, so I have to defend myself." Zhou Chengzhen then laughed. "Otherwise, it's so boring to let you sing alone."
As he spoke, his eyes fell behind the king of Dongping County, and he sighed.
"Daochang Shao, are you here too? What are you here for? When my grandfather returns to heaven, will you do things? ”
Shao Mingqing nodded with a smile.
"Now that the prince has spoken, I can do it too." He said.
Although all three of them spoke with a smile, the atmosphere was tense.
"Where is the king of Zhenbei?" Dongping County King said.
"Isn't it the question of where the eldest lady of the Xie family is?" Zhou Chengzhen frowned and asked.
The king of Dongping looked at him.
"Where is the eldest lady of the Xie family?" He asked.
"I don't know." Zhou Chengzhen smiled and said simply.
King Dongping nodded.
"Search." He said.
With this sound, the surrounding soldiers and guards immediately rushed to all directions, and Shao Mingqing was also among them.
The weapons in the hands of the remaining soldiers and guards were aimed at Zhou Chengzhen.
The servants of the Zhenbei Royal Mansion let out a scream of surprise and squatted down with their heads in their hands.
"Let's go in and sit." The king of Dongping said, raising his feet and entering the main hall.
The swords of the guards stepped forward, and Zhou Chengzhen took a step back. With a sneer, he stepped forward.
The Zhenbei Palace, as a large number of soldiers dispersed, became very lively.
But if you look at it from a high place, these surging soldiers become a little small. The small Zhenbei Wangfu seems to have turned into a sandy beach, silently engulfing the influx of people.
The night engulfed the heavens and the earth, and the lanterns and torches were lit one by one, but they always seemed dim and unknown in the palace of the king of Zhenbei.
"Is that weird? Did you just come here? A soldier looked at the courtyard in front of him with a torch.
Several soldiers behind him also looked around.
"Looks like you've been here, right?"
"It's like it's like a long city here."
The crowd froze in place for a moment. Lights are lit up behind a low wall next to it. Footsteps are chaotic. Apparently someone searched for it as well.
"Go ask them." The leader of the soldiers said.
Everyone hurriedly walked to the courtyard gate on the side, and the noisy sound of turning the courtyard wall disappeared suddenly, and there were no soldiers searching. Several people couldn't help but be stunned.
The darkness seemed to condense, there was not a trace of wind, and the torches in their hands were clearly burning fiercely, but the light emitted was as big as beans, and the scope of illumination was only under their feet.
"What the hell?" A soldier couldn't help but blurt out.
These words made everyone shudder.
"What nonsense!" The leader kicked him.
The momentary stagnation dissipated, and there was a cacophony of footsteps on all sides, and torches lit up ahead.
Several people breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"They're turning around, walking." The leader said, and ran to the other side.
"But they're going too fast."
"Is there a secret door here?"
"This town is not big, right, how do you feel that you can't finish turning?"
Everyone hurriedly followed, while discussing in a low voice.
Shao Mingqing stood on the steps of a palace.
"Extinguish the torches." He said to the man beside him.
The guards around them immediately extinguished the torches, and the darkness immediately surrounded them, but it also made them look surprised when they saw the scene in front of them.
"Dao Chief, this, what is this?"
The Zhenbei Wangfu in front of me is as dark as the night sky, and there are stars scattered in between, and the stars are constantly flashing and flashing, outlining various lines, like flowing water.
"This is the astrolabe." Shao Mingqing said.
Astrolabe?
The guards didn't understand.
"And the stars?" They asked.
"That's not the stars, it's our people in it, and it's not so much that we're searching as it's being manipulated by the formation." Shao Mingqing said.
"We've got a lot of warlocks with us, can't they notice?" The guard hurriedly asked.
"Of course you can detect it, but it's powerless to break it." Shao Mingqing said, "Even if I see it so clearly now, once I am in it, it will be difficult to resist. ”
The guards were silent for a moment.
"What then?" They asked, but when the words fell, they saw Shao Mingqing walking down, "Dao Chief." ”
"It's hard to resist, but you have to resist." Shao Mingqing said, suddenly smiled, stretched out his hand and pointed in one direction, "Look, the door over there is open." ”
Door? Where can you see the door of this black light?
The guards stared intently. I faintly saw a light in one direction turn on, and with this light, the night seemed to be bitten.
"Miss Roujia has come in." Shao Mingqing smiled, "Let's go." ”
At this time, the main hall of the Zhenbei Wangfu was brightly lit.
Zhou Chengzhen sat on the chair and moved her shoulders, making a gabbling sound.
"Uncle Nineteen." He looked at the king of Dongping who was sitting opposite, "Why don't you eat something first?" You can't find anything for a while, and it's a shame to be so dry. ”
"Why can't you find it? These formations can stop people, but they can't stop fire. The king of Dongping said, "A fire burned out, digging three feet into the ground." Is there anything else that can't be found? ”
Zhou Chengzhen jumped up.
"You're stupid. When you burn people, you will run away, and you will not find anything after digging three feet into the ground. He sneered, "Now that you are trapped, we are free." ”
"Freedom of advance and retreat? Zhou Chengzhen. You guys take one back and try it. The king of Dongping said. Don't mention the boundaries of the north of the town. Even if you can get out of the town and the North Palace, I'll let you go. ”
Zhou Chengzhen snorted.
"What? All together? The dog jumped over the wall in a hurry, don't you forget what the emperor asked you to do here? When the time comes, it's up to you to make a difference. He said.
"I have nothing I can't deal with. I didn't catch them. Dongping Junwang said.
Zhou Chengzhen stared at him for a moment.
"Forget it." He said, "I just want you to see how powerful this Zhenbei Wangfu is, now you can see it, right?" ”
The king of Dongping looked at him.
Zhou Chengzhen smiled at him.
"Uncle Nineteen, since you know how powerful this Zhenbei Wangfu is, and how difficult it is to find people from them, then you know that I am important." He stretched out his hand and hooked, "Come with me, I'll show you the way." ”
He leads the way?
The guards present looked slightly stunned.
"What? Don't dare? Zhou Chengzhen smiled again.
"You don't have to provoke me, I don't dare to do anything." The king of Dongping said and stood up, "Lead the way." ”
Zhou Chengzhen smiled and turned around, and the guards stepped forward to hold him hostage and walked out.
……………………………………………………………
"Xie Roujia!"
Shao Mingqing shouted, and watched as a courtyard gate in front of him was slammed open, and the light of the torches poured in instantly, making people who were used to the darkness feel dazzling.
"Okay, no problem." Xie Roujia's voice sounded in her ears.
Shao Mingqing opened his eyes and looked at the girls in the crowd pouring in.
"Now you can go with confidence in the direction of the southeast, northwest, and northwest." She pointed in the direction and said, "I won't be wandering around without knowing the direction anymore." ”
The soldiers held torches and scattered them in different directions, and the firelight forced the darkness back with their movements, and more people were attracted to it, and the originally dim Zhenbei Wangfu was ignited in an instant, becoming bright and bright.
"Xie Rouhui is over there." Xie Roujia looked in another direction and said, raising her feet and running.
Shao Mingqing hurriedly followed.
As you move forward, a house appears behind the shadows of a clump of trees.
"That's not right." Shao Ming shouted suddenly.
The house over there is not in the dark like the other houses, but the lights are bright, and it is particularly eye-catching in the dark.
Such a bright and Huo Ran mansion, why didn't Shicai find it at all?
Being in the astrolabe array and not seeing the changes around them, didn't they break through the formation? But it was deliberately sent here by the left and right?
"Huh? It's Your Highness. Xie Roujia also stopped and looked at the group of people walking in front of the mansion over there.
Surrounded by the guards were Zhou Chengzhen and the king of Dongping County.
Your Highness has also found here?
"Your Highness!" She shouted, scurrying forward before she felt her body hang in the air.
Not good! There are traps!
With exclamations, the two fell at the same time.
King Dongping stopped and turned his head.
"Uncle Nineteen?" Zhou Chengzhen shouted, raised his chin and rushed forward, "This is it." ”
The king of Dongping retracted his gaze and looked at the courtyard gate in front of him.
There was a commotion behind him.
"Your Highness."
The soldiers and guards flocked in.
It's not like Shicai has been empty all the way, it seems that the formation has been broken.
The soldiers slammed open the courtyard door and poured in.
"How did you get in?"
There were exclamations in the courtyard.
The king of Dongping County stepped in, and Zhou Chengzhen was also pushed in.
……………………………………………………………….
With a pop, the fire twist lit up in front of his eyes.
Xie Roujia and Shao Mingqing's faces can be seen from each other.
"It's authentic." Xie Roujia said, stretching out her hand to pat the wall, and her voice echoed.
"A dungeon, perhaps." Shao Mingqing said, "I don't think this formation was intended to trap His Highness and the others in the first place. ”
"It's to trap us." Xie Roujia said, she continued to grope forward, "But what's the use of trapping us, Your Highness, they are already unimpeded here, besides..."
She stopped, slammed the wall, and there was a thud.
"It doesn't have to be able to trap us." She said.
"Shh Shao Mingqing's boo.
Xie Roujia's voice was a little puzzled, and she was about to ask, when she heard a noise coming from the wall.
"....How did they get in?"
The dry, hoarse voice shouted in horror.
This is...
Xie Roujia couldn't help but lean against the wall.
The sound coming from the wall was clearer.
"Grandfather, of course I brought him in."
Zhou Chengzhen?
Xie Roujia couldn't help but get up and look at the wall again.
Outside this wall is where Zhou Chengzhen and them are?
