Chapter 104: The Alchemy Secret Room

And at this time, in the hall of the secret room, it is terrifying. I saw a huge stove in the center, and there was an alchemy furnace similar to a giant tripod on the stove, and under the stove there were many shirtless prisoners who were scarred or chopping wood, adding firewood, or blowing fire. As long as the movement was slow, the eunuchs who were supervising by the side would wave their whips mercilessly and strike hard, and the corners of the side were littered with corpses surrounded by flies. At this time, there were seven or eight big men with empty eyes, who lifted the corpse and rushed towards the stove.

Most of these prisoners were death row prisoners, and many of them were officials in the previous court, most of them were imprisoned in the prison because they offended Zhang Rang, and then they were secretly transferred here, so far they have become slaves who are not as good as animals.

Of course, many people were tormented and chose to resist, and the final result was that they ended up dead without a body.

Looking at the left and right sides extending down from the alchemy furnace platform, there are iron cages of different sizes, and the iron cages are all filled with living people, and it is even more outrageous that many of these people are young children. But these living people, in the eyes of the alchemists who are all high up and pretend to be dignified, are just some materials. They will use a variety of different methods to classify these materials according to their quality, the best ones are trapped in separate iron cages, and the best ones are trapped in large cages in groups. Often, the materials that have just been transported will be frightened by the scene in front of them, or they will yell or cry for mercy, but it will not take long for these materials to settle down, because the eunuchs who are guarding the surrounding area will wave the whip in their hands mercilessly until the materials cannot cry or shout.

At this point, on the platform. Zhang Rang, who was thin and white-faced, was like a hungry ghost who was about to starve to death, his eyes were faintly shining, looking at the huge alchemy furnace above, followed by Zhao Zhong, Feng Zhen, Duan Qi, Cao Jie, Hou Lan, Guo Sheng, six permanent attendants, these six people were without exception, wearing brocade robes and red cloaks. Some of these people are old and gray, and some are young and strong, and they are in the prime of life. The ten permanent servants of that year, Gao Wang, Zhang Gong, Han Kui, and Song Dian have died. For example, Hou Lan, Guo Sheng, and Jian Shuo were all promoted by Zhang Rang because of their excellent chronology and commendable loyalty. And now Cheng Kuang and Xia Yun are serving beside Spirit Emperor Liu Hong, and they are not present.

Or maybe it was because of watching the brothers of the past die one by one, which made Zhang Rang and Zhao Zhong even more crazy to find the art of immortality. What's more, it is said that once this elixir is cultivated, it can reshape the body and conquer the heavens, so that their long-lost life roots can be restored!

"How much longer?" Suddenly, Zhang Rang's faint words made the seven or eight alchemists kneeling behind them all shiver and tremble. Only the first person, the face is as usual, at first glance, there is some superior temperament, this person's name is Liu He, it is said that the ancestor is the chief apprentice of Xu Fu, the imperial alchemist of Qin Shi Huang, and the ancestors are alchemists for generations.

"If you return to the country, this elixir is against the sky, how can it be practiced one day! Please also ask Grandpa Guo to wait for me for a few more days, and in another seven hundred and forty-nine days, the elixir will be practiced!! It's just that in terms of materials..."Liu He swore with a sworn expression, in fact, he was apprehensive in his heart, but he understood that once he revealed the slightest flaw, he would definitely die!

"Hmph, over the years, almost all the life savings of the miscellaneous brothers have been spent on this elixir, and the heavenly and earthly treasures that you want are extraordinary, not a thousand-year-old ginseng or a hundred-year-old Ganoderma lucidum, and even the Tianshan Snow Lotus, the miscellaneous family also sent someone to take it for you. If you don't have any good results, don't blame the miscellaneous brothers for being ruthless! When Zhao Zhong heard this, he smiled coldly.

Liu He was shocked and replied: "Don't worry about Zhao Gong, the little one dares to guarantee with his small life, and this time he will definitely be able to practice into an elixir!" ”

"Good! That's the good news for you! Hearing this, Zhao Zhong smiled with satisfaction. At this time, Duan Jue, who was behind him, suddenly said: "Brother Zhao, the miscellaneous brothers can wait, but Your Majesty's dragon body is getting thinner and thinner, I'm afraid it won't last long." Now that the He butcher has the power of the army outside the palace, and there is the support of the Yuan brothers by his side, I am afraid that if there is a case, the miscellaneous brothers will lose the protection of the Majesty, and their lives will be difficult to protect! Even if you have this elixir, it will be useless! ”

"Humph! He butcher has the courage and no strategy, what is the courage to worry about it, it is better not to do one and two endlessly, while His Majesty is still there, why not design to murder him, and then put a crime at will! With His Majesty's favor to the miscellaneous brothers, there must be no mess! ! ! Hou Lan, who was sturdy, widened his eyes and shouted like a big bear.

"That's a good idea. After all, Butcher He is a scourge, so it's better to eradicate it sooner! ”

"That's right, Butcher He has hated a few miscellaneous brothers for a long time, if you don't get rid of them, it will be difficult to sleep and eat! ! Then there is His Majesty who regards Grandpa Guo as his own father, as long as Grandpa Guo has this heart, the miscellaneous brothers have fought for this little life, and they are willing to die for Grandpa Guo to the end!! ”

As soon as Hou Lan's words came out, he won the approval of Guo Sheng, Feng Zhen and others, and everyone couldn't help but turn their eyes to Zhang Rang. Zhang Rang sneered, glanced at the seal coldly, and said unhurriedly: "If it was really so simple, the miscellaneous family would have started a long time ago, and you still need to be reminded of this stupid thing?" Over the years, the brothers of the miscellaneous family have amassed a lot of money, and the people have long been resentful, and after the outbreak of the Yellow Turban Rebellion, His Majesty has gradually alienated the eunuchs, and even the miscellaneous family has rarely been summoned. If it weren't for the kindness of the past, I am afraid that His Majesty would have been unable to withstand the pressure of the Chinese martial arts of the DPRK and issued an edict to execute several brothers of the miscellaneous family!!

And the faction of He Butcher, which has won the hearts of the people over the years, and there is no shortage of young talents, but if the miscellaneous family really kills He Butcher, once these young talents launch a mutiny, all parties will definitely echo, and then the miscellaneous family may be even more dead and have no place to be buried!! ”

Zhang Rang said slowly, saying that everyone's faces changed greatly, and after they woke up, they were all frightened and scared.

"Eh, Your Majesty is a person who misses old love. As long as the elixir is practiced and the life of His Majesty is extended, the miscellaneous family can still enjoy their old age in peace, otherwise it will be in vain. Suddenly, Zhang Rang's terrifying face was a little more stunned, and he suddenly remembered that many years ago, when Liu Hong was a child, he always loved to stick to his side, and every time he saw that innocent smiling face, he would have a feeling that his heart was touched.

said that although Zhang Rang did a lot of evil, and it could even be said that he had lost his conscience, his heart for Liu Hong was sincere. When Liu Hong ascended the throne at a young age, the general Dou Wu controlled the power of the imperial court, but it was Zhang Rang who supported Liu Hong in full force, and even offended Dou Wu several times because of this, and was almost executed by Dou Wu, and was severely punished by Dou Wu, and almost half of his life was killed at that time. For Liu Hong's sake, Zhang Rang could even spare his life. And Liu Hong was also willing to oppose the civil and military officials of the imperial court because of this old feeling, in order to save Zhang Rang's life.

At this moment, there was an exclamation outside. Zhang Rang's face changed. Guo Sheng hurriedly greeted him, and shouted: "What's the matter!? ”

"Lord Chang, in the palace, the palace is on fire~~!!" One of the Praetorian Guard generals shouted urgently. Guo Sheng's color changed when he heard this.

At the same time, among the fresh materials that had just arrived and were waiting for the alchemist to consult, there was a sudden riot.

But I saw a beautiful, cold and unyielding girl, suddenly snatched the whip of a eunuch, and the other eunuch saw it, and was anxious to drink, but she shook the whip, and a mouth was suddenly broken by the whip, and she screamed and fell. Several guards next to him saw it clearly, and hurriedly drew their blades and rushed over.

"Brothers of the Heavenly Thorn, the steer has done many evils, and everyone can be punished, and if you don't get rid of the steer at this time, you will !? when you wait." The girl shouted loudly, and more than a dozen people rushed out of the crowd at once. When it was too late, the guards rushed to the scene with their knives, and the girl threw her whip and snapped a few times, and the guards immediately fell down. Several heavenly assassins took the opportunity to snatch the blade, and slashed with their knives, and the screams suddenly rose. On the other side, there were also more than a dozen Heavenly Thorn people who broke out, snatching weapons from the eunuchs and guards next to them and fighting.

"Hmph, jumping clown!" When Zhang Rang saw it, his face turned cold, and he said coldly. Zhao Zhong glanced at him coldly and said, "Brother, you don't have to worry about these thieves, it's better to go out first, and leave it to Hou Lan and Guo Sheng here." ”

When Hou Lan, who was on the side, heard this, he immediately knelt down, and said angrily: "Brothers, go first, there are younger brothers and Guo Sheng to take care of them here, and you can get rid of the thieves in a while!" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Rang nodded slightly, then looked at Liu He and the alchemists who were already frightened and were about to scatter, and said, "Let's all leave with the miscellaneous family." ”

When Liu He heard it, he was busy and thankful. So Zhang Rang and a group of people, supported by more than a dozen tall eunuchs, slowly left from the platform.

"Zhang let the eunuchs, Hugh wants to leave, and return the lives of my Wang family's thirty-six people~~!!" At this moment, the cold girl who had the first attack suddenly hissed excitedly. Zhang Rang, who was walking in the forefront, stopped suddenly, and his sharp eyes suddenly saw the cold girl from the chaotic crowd, and when he saw her, he was like seeing the man who was invincible, swordsmanship, and invincible.

Zhang Rang's heart shook suddenly, his eyes widened, and he rarely showed a bit of horror.

"Humph! Don't be ashamed, Grandpa Guo wants to kill that woman for you!? When Cao Jie heard this, his face was like frost, and he snorted coldly. Zhang Rang slowly withdrew his gaze, walked away, and said quietly: "You go and pass on my order, don't kill that woman, the miscellaneous family wants to use her to lure out Wang Yue." ”

When Cao Jie heard this, he hurriedly made a promise, and then rushed over. In other words, an armory was also built in this secret room. A few eunuchs hurriedly fetched weapons. Hou Lan grabbed a huge ghost-headed sledgehammer with a hundred catties, and Guo Sheng twisted up a huge mace that also weighed 100 catties and was full of fangs.

"Get out of the way~~!!" Hou Lan shouted, it turned out to be a fierce man with strange powers, and a few guards couldn't dodge, and they were immediately swept away by him with a hammer. At the same time, a stabbing sound suddenly appeared, Hou Lan's eyes lit up, and when he raised his arm, he saw a whip suddenly wrapped around his arm like a long snake.

"Humph! What do you have to do with Wang Yue's thief!? Hou Lan's eyes widened and he asked in the direction where the whip was flying.

"He's my father!!" The person who drank the words was Wang Ying. As soon as Wang Ying's words fell, Hou Lan immediately grinned, and his arm was slammed hard, but Wang Ying didn't expect Hou Lan's strength to be so powerful, and the whole person was evacuated in a hurry. Fortunately, Wang Ying shook his hand in time, like a dexterous flying swallow immediately landed, and several guards were about to pounce, but they were killed and retreated by the skilled assassins.
