He remembered the sect leader's advice, and he was still a little uneasy, so he wanted to go to the palace to see if Ouyang Shaogong was still honestly imprisoned in the palace by him, but before he could go out, the door of the study was directly pushed open from the outside.

"Who?!" Shangguan Hao was very annoyed that someone came uninvited, and he was just about to scold, but when he looked up, he saw that it was the old lady of Shangguan's family, walking in on crutches.

Shangguan Hao's reprimand, which he wanted to speak, hurriedly swallowed it back, coughed in a choked voice, and hurriedly greeted him.

"It's cold at night, why bother to come here in person, if there is anything you can tell someone, your son will go over in person."

The person who came was none other than the old lady of the Shangguan family, Shangguan Hao's stepmother Wu. The old woman of the Shangguan family is not Shangguan Hao's biological mother, Shangguan Hao is the son of the deceased lord and his former wife of the Shangguan family.

I think back then, the Wu family was just a maid of the Shangguan family, but because of her good looks and clever person, she was accepted by the master. But unexpectedly, after she was taken in by the master, in less than half a year, Shangguan Hao's biological mother died of a violent illness.

Shangguan Hao's father, somehow lost his mind by this Wu family, even though the whole family was against it, but he still insisted on marrying her, and everyone had no choice but to follow him.

But what they didn't expect was that this Wu family's methods were really powerful, not only did they manage the inside of Shangguan's house like an iron bucket, but they even grabbed the outside affairs.

The development of Shangguan's family began slowly after his stepmother took charge of the house, and she planned all the way, not only letting Shangguan Hao's father enter the officialdom, but also seeking the identity of the patriarch of the Three Dynasties for Shangguan Hao.

This Shangguan family has a clean breeze to the outside world, but in fact it is extremely rich, spending countless silver taels every year, and all of this is thanks to this Shangguan Hao's stepmother.

Shangguan Hao was also dissatisfied with this stepmother at the beginning and embarrassed by all kinds of difficulties, this stepmother was only ten years older than Shangguan Hao, young and beautiful, Shangguan Hao always felt that his mother's death was killed by her.

But this Wu family's methods are too profound, if the Shangguan family does not have the Wu family, it will not be able to become any climate, Shangguan Hao dares to be angry and dare not speak, and can only shrink the dissatisfaction in his heart, and only promise on the surface.

Therefore, the reason why Shangguan Hao has been able to have such great achievements over the years is largely due to the fact that his stepmother has planned and advised him behind his back, whether it is the method of sacrificing the soul attraction array in the east looking at the sea, or the illusions he arranged in the palace, and the most important thing is that the heart erosion spell cast on the emperor Ouyang Shaogong is all from his stepmother.

Seeing so many powerful methods of his stepmother, how dare he disobey the Wu family. At first, when the Demon Sect found him, he was still afraid, and in the end, it was his stepmother who gave him the decision to cooperate with the Demon Clan.

"The demons are coming?." Wu asked.

Wu's words interrupted Shangguan Hao's contemplation, and he hurriedly replied respectfully: "Yes, mother, the sect leader of the demon clan came to find his son and asked about something."

Shangguan Hao replied respectfully, and at the same time helped Wu to sit on the upper seat.

"If nothing else, if this Heart Erosion Spell is raised for another seven days, Ouyang Shaogong will have no consciousness of his own, and from then on he will be a walking corpse-like puppet who can be easily manipulated by us."

Wu Shi paused and continued: "As for the formation on the other side of the East Wanghai, I have already pushed the veins of the entire formation today, as long as those cultivators break into the formation, they can start the sacrificial ceremony, and then the Children of Darkness will definitely be able to absorb this magic power." ”

"I rely on my mother a lot." Shangguan Hao bowed respectfully to the Wu clan and said flatteringly.

Although he has been looking at Wu's unpleasant eyes for many years, it is undeniable that everything Wu has done is beneficial to him, he is not that smart person in the first place, and he can't do it like a fish in water in officialdom, it is precisely because he comes back every day and tells this Wu family everything in detail, and Wu then teaches him how to do it, so that he can reach today's status step by step.

So even if he has a big opinion about the Wu family, he doesn't dare to anger the Wu family easily, it can be said that without the Wu family, he would not have the glory and wealth he has today, and everything he is valued by the demon clan is all arranged by the Wu family.

At this time, he hated to hold the Wu clan in his hand even more, for fear that the Wu clan would leave him here, and then not only would he not be able to get the promise of the demon clan, but he would probably even lose his life.

"Then the sect leader came, did he give you anything?" Wu's staring at Shangguan Hao asked.

"Back to ...... Returning to his mother, the sect leader did not give his son anything, but promised his son that this matter was done, and he promised his son the power to control the human world. ”

Shangguan Hao did not tell the Wu clan about the demon clan's promise to him to promise him immortality, if the existence of the life-sustaining pill was known to the Wu clan, this Wu clan was already over eighty years old, and he could die at any time, if he said that the deepest desire and urgency for immortality, this Wu clan should be stronger than him.

Shangguan Hao would not let the cooked duck fly no matter what, if he let Wu know that he had this life-prolonging medicine, he would definitely ask him for it.

Seeing that this Shangguan Hao was talking and his eyes were rolling around, Wu knew that he was not telling the truth to himself, but this Wu did not want to expose Shangguan Hao.

She has been incognito all her life, hiding in Shangguan's house for so many years, she has something she wants to do, Shangguan Hao's careful thinking, she doesn't want to pursue it at all, and she is not interested, as long as it doesn't hinder her plan, this Shangguan Hao occasionally makes a little move under her nose, she will still turn a blind eye.

Wu stood up on crutches and walked slowly towards the door. Shangguan Hao was relieved to see that the Wu family was finally leaving, and hurriedly supported the Wu family and said, "The son sent his mother out."

Wu walked to the door, turned around and suddenly said to Shangguan Hao: "Cooperating with the demon clan is tantamount to seeking skin with a tiger, and I don't look like a person who will keep his promise, it's better for you not to trust him." If he gives you something not to use lightly, at least let me confirm first, is there anything wrong? ”

Shangguan Hao was shocked when he heard Wu say this, could it be that he knew that he had hidden the life-sustaining pill, but then he thought about it, it shouldn't be his people inside and outside this study, and this sect master's mana is profound, and he will not allow people to eavesdrop, thinking of this, he was slightly relieved.

It seems that this Wu family just nodded at him, and hurriedly replied: "Yes, mother, the son must obey his mother's orders."

But I was very disdainful in my heart, hmph, this old woman thought well, if I brought all the good things that the sect leader gave me to her, how could I still have my share.

In fact, this Wu family really has good intentions, he doesn't care about Shangguan Hao's life, it's just that her great cause has not been completed, Shangguan Hao can't die yet, and it is still useful for her to keep this life, if Shangguan Hao stupidly kills himself now, it will ruin her plan.

Shangguan Hao thought that he had laid a net in the palace, but he didn't expect that there were people outside the world, and there was heaven outside the sky. Wan Chaozong still rescued Ouyang Shaogong.

For Wan Chaozong, the person was rescued, but it was not much easier, looking at Ouyang Shaogong, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and the heart-devouring spell on his body was more than one day a day, Wan Chaozong's heart was unbearable.

"Lord Wang, the person you want has been brought." Wan Chaozong's subordinates replied.

"Put him in a dungeon, and I'll interrogate him myself."

Wan Chaozong hurriedly walked to the dungeon, it turned out that he broke into the palace that day and night, and saw that all the guards in the palace had been replaced, and all the imperial guards he had arranged were gone.

But when he left the palace that day, he saw a familiar face. That person was the son of Steward Ding in the Shangguan Mansion, Ding Dazhuang.

The reason why Wan Chaozong knew this Ding Dazhuang was because when he went to Shangguan's house as a guest, he happened to meet this Ding Dazhuang bullying a little maid in Shangguan's house.

Wan Chaozong couldn't see it, and stopped it loudly, and the housekeeper of the Shangguan family led him to make amends to Wan Chaozong in person, and Wan Chaozong knew that this was the housekeeper's son.

Such a person couldn't get into his eyes, and he didn't care too much about a small episode, but this Wan Chaozong has always had the ability to never forget, so at that time in the palace, even though this person was wearing the armor of a fully armed guard, he still recognized it.

I just don't know, how could the son of the housekeeper, who was powerful in the mansion and bullying men and women in the past, suddenly enter the palace as a guard? It seems that there is really something wrong with this Shangguan Hao.

It turned out that Shangguan Hao planned to imprison Ouyang Shaogong that day, but the guards who protected Ouyang Shaogong in the palace of this Chen Kingdom were all personally selected by Wan Chaozong to be Ouyang Shaogong's imperial guards, and they were loyal to Wan Chaozong.

He wanted to rebel, but he spent a lot of money but failed to succeed, so in a fit of anger, he could only send more manpower, arrested all these people and locked them in the dungeon, and then replaced his own manpower step by step.

It's just that as for the selection of new people to enter the palace, Shangguan Hao handed it over to his housekeeper to do, and the housekeeper's son Ding Dazhuang saw that the guards in the palace were wearing armor, belts and swords, and they were very powerful, and knew that his father had won this errand, so he begged his father to let him go to the palace to experience it.

What is the situation of his son, the father naturally knows it, and this errand is instructed by the old man, the stakes are very high, of course he will not let his son mess around.

However, his son was spoiled by him, all kinds of coquettish tricks, and he even wanted to go on a hunger strike, he really couldn't help it, so he promised his son to only go for one day, but for fear of being discovered by others, he could only take a night of effort, get a set of clothes for his son, and let him go inside to have a good time.

Unexpectedly, people are not as good as heaven, and in such a short period of time, they were bumped into a positive one by Wan Chaozong.

People who can't beat these eight poles can enter the palace as guards, and even if they find more excuses for the Shangguan family, it is not realistic to say that they don't care about the Shangguan family.
