In the imperial study, Emperor Li Dingbang was very happy, he had been depressed for so long, and finally had a good thing,

Xiao Chen was caught, which means that the incident of the Blood Shadow Hall can come to an end, and he can concentrate on dealing with the Pantheism in the north and the King of Qin in the south.

As for how to end the farce of the Blood Shadow Hall, Li Dingbang has already thought about it, he wants to show Xiao Chen, the initiator, to the public, and then tell the people all over the world that the Blood Shadow Hall does not exist at all, and it was concocted by Xiao Chen in order to fool the people, and his intentions are so sinister that he can be regarded as a national thief.

Li Dingbang could directly order Xiao Chen to be killed, but he had been an opponent for so long, and he had never won, and in the end he finally became the winner, and he wanted to taunt Xiao Chen in person.

Therefore, after receiving the report from the captain of the guard, he ordered Xiao Chen to be brought into the imperial study.

Unable to hide his excitement, he got up from his seat, holding a brush in one hand to review the folds, and the ink dripped on the dragon robe without realizing it.

At this time, a little eunuch hurriedly ran over, knelt down with a puff, and shouted: "Oh no, Your Majesty, Qin prisoner...... The convict ran away,"

The previous joy disappeared without a trace, and his eyes widened: "How is it possible, he was sealed by the chief protector of the Emperor Extreme Sect, and he was personally escorted by the Ouchi guards, how could he run away,"

The little eunuch hurriedly explained: "It was Gonggong Luo who was on duty in the palace tonight, he killed four guards on the edge of a palace wall, fled to the nearest palace with the Qin prisoners, and then disappeared,"

"It turned out to be Luo Qingsheng's bastard, which palace did he escape into with the prisoners," the emperor is really anxious now,

"Aster Palace,"

"Ah," the emperor almost sat on the ground and muttered to himself: "How could it be Ziyuan Palace, how did Luo Qingsheng know that there was a secret passage there,"

The little eunuch was confused: "Your Majesty, what kind of secret passage are you talking about, when the Ouchi guards rushed to the Ziyuan Palace, they didn't find Gonggong Luo and Qin prisoners inside, they seemed to have disappeared out of thin air,"

Li Dingbang slammed the brush in his hand on the ground and shouted hysterically: "Go and inform the inner guards, under the golden incense burner in the main hall of Ziyuan Palace, there is a secret passage leading to the outside of the city, let them hurry down and chase after them, it is extremely important to arrest the traitors and Qin criminals, go quickly,"

The little eunuch ran to give the order,

The emperor went back and forth in the study, frowning and muttering to himself: "Why did Luo Qingsheng save Xiao Chen, what is his relationship with the surname Xiao?"

Luo Qingsheng's status in the palace is very high, only one level lower than the eunuch Bingbi, and he usually has the opportunity to contact the emperor, and sometimes he is even responsible for the emperor's diet and daily life.

Thinking of this, a layer of cold sweat broke out on Li Dingbang's back, he didn't expect that there was such a person hidden by his side, if Luo Qingsheng poisoned his diet, he would have to be poisoned to death if he had ten lives.

"Where is the Shadow Guard," he shouted in a distinctly trilled tone,

Whew......

Two gray figures descended from the sky, they wore face towels, only their two eyes were exposed, knelt down in front of the emperor in unison, and said in unison: "Please command, Your Majesty,"

The level of the two is close to the peak of the Holy Martial Realm, their names are Shadow Guard, there are sixteen in total, most of them are at the peak level of the Holy Martial Realm,

"You also go to Ziyuan Palace, I have lost confidence in those inner guards, and the task of capturing the prisoners and traitors is entrusted to you," Li Dingbang ordered,

"The subordinates obeyed," the two disappeared in a flash,

With the addition of the shadow guard, it has become much easier to capture Xiao Chen and Luo Qingsheng, and Li Dingbang is a lot more relieved.

But what he didn't know was that after Luo Qingsheng took Xiao Chen into the secret passage, he destroyed the entrance.

Ziyuan Palace, a group of Ouchi guards searched for a long time, but they couldn't find the mechanism to open the secret passage, they even moved the golden incense burner aside, and used weapons to pry up the stone bricks on the ground, but still couldn't find it,

At this time, a gray shadow flashed, and then an explosion occurred on the ground, forming a large pit with a diameter of more than ten meters, and the depth was more than five meters.

A secret passage appeared in the pit, and two shadow guards went directly into it.

After a few seconds, the Ouchi guards reacted, and they also wanted to follow in, but before they could lift their feet, two gray shadows came out again, and several ups and downs came to the emperor's imperial study,

"What, the secret passage has been destroyed," Li Dingbang was about to explode,

One of the shadow guards replied, "Yes, not only the entrance, but also the inside has been badly damaged, and it is completely useless, and it is impossible to pursue the enemy."

"The secret passage is ruined," Li Dingbang sat on a chair and said, "It was dug out by the first emperor at a great price, in order to leave a way for the descendants who are in charge of the palace, I didn't expect it to be destroyed so quickly, why don't you go out of the city, the secret passage leads to the outside of the city,"

The two looked at each other and said, "My subordinates don't know where the secret passage leads."

"I tell you......" Li Dingbang suddenly remembered that he didn't know, when the emperor died, he just told him the direction of the entrance and the way to open it, and he never went down.

At the gate of the palace, Shao Hongshuo stood straight, of course he was reluctant to leave, and the emperor's reward had not yet been implemented.

On the side, Liu Xun didn't leave, he was thinking about what excuse to enter the palace to face the saint, and it was not easy to keep the saint in front of the emperor.

Speaking of the matter in front of him, Liu Xun must find a suitable time, plus a suitable excuse, to appear in front of the emperor, so that the emperor feels that he has no intention of competing with others, and at the same time, in the process of capturing Xiao Chen, he also has merit.

He was waiting, waiting for the little eunuch he had bribed to spread the news, depending on the situation,

The two glared at each other from time to time, a little incompatible.

At this time, a little eunuch hurriedly walked out of the palace gate, came straight to Liu Xun, and whispered a few words close to his ear,

Liu Xun's face became wonderful, in addition to surprise and unwillingness, there was even a hint of schadenfreude,

"How so," he asked the little eunuch,

The little eunuch smiled bitterly: "The slave official is lowly and small, and many things are untouchable, and I only hear so much, but the slave can guarantee that the matter is absolutely true,"

"I know, father-in-law go back quickly," he remained silent, and stuffed a gold ingot into the sleeve of the little eunuch,

After the little eunuch left, he looked at Shao Hongshuo with a playful expression and snorted, "Great Elder, I'm afraid it's hard for you to get what you want today,"

Shao Hongshuo replied: "I think you are envious, jealous and hateful, this seat is about to be named the deputy national teacher, you are red-eyed, right, you can't take credit from me, you are not convinced, right?"

"Hahaha," Liu Xun began to laugh arrogantly, and said: "I envy you, don't be kidding, just a deputy national teacher has never taken it to heart, I advise you not to dream, let me tell you the truth, just a quarter of an hour ago, Xiao Chen ran away,"

Shao Hongshuo's eyes glared: "You are talking nonsense, how could he run away, the guards in the inner courtyard of the palace are like clouds, and he has been sealed by me in more than a dozen big holes,"

Liu Xun looked at him with sympathetic eyes, shook his head and said: "If you don't believe it, just wait, see if Your Majesty will make you a deputy national teacher, although people are running in the palace, but after all, they are running, and the official will not be here to accompany you, go home,"
