Chapter Ninety-Eight: Touching the Mechanism

As far as he knows, the emperor has two elder brothers, the eldest prince who should inherit the throne, died of illness before the emperor died of illness. The second prince was born with a cold, and then his brain was broken, and he can't take care of himself until now......

As for the emperor's five younger brothers, except for the king of Shang, Xie Lingxu has not yet distinguished who is who, after all, they have done their duty, and they have not done anything out of the ordinary to impress themselves.

The emperor took the lead and proposed to marry Princess Yingran to his brother by himself, which really made it difficult for the latter to refuse......

The original plan was to make peace with the emperor, but compared to refusal, the current situation can be regarded as a step down, Yang Envoy had to smile and thank the emperor for his kindness, and this matter can be regarded as reluctantly over......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

At the end of the feast, Xie Lingxu cleaned up the leftover fruit and pastries on the table in the main hall......

Walking in the narrow passage leading to the back kitchen with the leftover food, I only heard the people gathered around the corner talking-

- Princess Yingran: "Even if you don't want to marry, you can't just promise me to someone else!" Where does this make Princess Ben's face go! This princess is not married! I'm going back now! ”

Yang envoy: "The princess is angry, as far as Wei Chen knows, the emperor Luo Fan of the current dynasty is in name only, and he has long been spurned, and one day he will be replaced by others, if the princess marries him, it will not be beneficial to you." ”

Princess Yingran: "What do you mean?" ”

Yang envoy: "According to the minister's opinion, the emperor's younger brother King Shang is quite ambitious in court politics and is a material that can be made, so the princess might as well marry him." ”

"I feel uncomfortable when I see him, I want to marry you!"

Seeing Princess Yingran's displeasure, Yang Envoy hurriedly laughed and said:

"The princess is angry, the princess is angry......"

Xie Lingxu raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking that the gentleman saw the same thing, and he was not the only one who was not used to seeing the king of Shang.

……………………

Dealing with the things in his hand, Xie Lingxu turned around, but saw the face that was extremely annoying to him appear in front of him-

King Shang: "Miss Xie, I haven't seen you for a long time, this king misses you very much." ”

MD…… What does this man want to do......

Xie Lingxu's whole body tensed, and a little uneasiness appeared in his heart.

King Shang smiled: "You too...... When I saw this king, I didn't ask for peace, but I was really bold. ”

Xie Lingxu: "Is there anything wrong with the King of Shang?" If nothing happens, I'll go to the Trench Temple. ”

Shang Wang: "You have disappeared for more than ten days, where have you gone?" ”

Xie Lingxu: "Where am I going...... It has nothing to do with the king of business! ”

"The king disappeared with you...... Are you together? ”

It seems that the king of Shang supervises the personnel in the palace very closely, but he is not taboo at all.

King Shang: "Miss Xie, it's not that this king doesn't believe you, this king is just a check for the royal brother, if you and the king of you are doing something illegitimate behind your back, then the king can't turn a blind eye-"

Xie Lingxu's eyes were cold:

"I have a clear conscience, King Shang, you don't have to worry about it!"

"One sentence won't do it, you're ...... There are so many secrets that I want to know. ”

Xie Lingxu's heart tightened, and he always felt that there was something in the former's words......

Shang Wang: "Why don't you tell me your secrets one by one...... This king can't wait! ”

Looking at the former's hideous smile, Xie Lingxu subconsciously took a step back:

"I don't have any secrets...... I don't know, farewell-"

Before the words fell, I felt that my mouth and nose were tightly covered by the black cloth that suddenly pounced on him......

Oops...... Drugging –

……………………

……………………

"A bunch of garbageβ€”"

"King Qiqi, this bead is not close to the human body, and the small one really can't be helped!"

"No matter what, I have to find out what this thing is for this king!"

"Yes, yes...... Shang Wang - she, she's awake ......"

Xie Lingxu opened his eyes, the stamina of the drug had not yet passed, and he looked at the surrounding scene in a trance, this was probably an abandoned and simple house......

The king of Shang condescended, looking at the woman who had just woken up from a coma with her hands and feet tied:

"You're awake......"

Xie Lingxu: "What do you want to do?" ”

Shang Wang: "That jade bead on your body...... What is it? ”

Xie Lingxu closed his eyes...... He doesn't know the Yuzhu of the Soul? In other words, the person who went to the Twin Temples to seize the jade bead fragment was not sent by the Shang King......

"Just a jade bead, hasn't the King of Shang seen it?"

Shang Wang: "Don't confuse the public, tell the truthβ€”β€”, otherwise this king will be unkind to you!" ”

Xie Lingxu's eyes were indifferent: "What does the Shang King think this is?" ”

Shang Wang: "This bead is evil...... Just like you! ”

Xie Lingxu was stunned, but it was the first time he had heard such words......

"Can you believe what I say? Ask me what I'm doing, the king of Shang is so powerful, it's better to check it yourself. ”

"Hmphβ€”β€”, you're not bad, you can stay here until the king finds out!"

The door slammed shut, and Xie Lingxu was the only one left in the dimly lit room......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

The guards stood outside the window and in the doorway, not paying attention to the little girl's every move.

Xie Lingxu's hands and feet were tied, and his movement was quite inconvenient, and he looked down at the black iron jade bracelet on his wrist-

Fortunately, the king of Shang didn't know the reckless sword in his hand......

With his mind, he controlled the sword and cut the rope that bound him without much effort. Xie Lingxu quietly slipped to the wall, observing the situation around him-

Outside the house he was in, there were five guards with weapons in hand, and there were also people patrolling back and forth in the narrow passage not far away...... really trapped himself, making it difficult for people to fly......

Xie Lingxu suddenly felt a headache, and slipped back to the cold and hard bed to sit...... It's really hard to provoke the pervert of the Shangshang King, how can I escape from this shitty place-

I couldn't think of a foolproof idea, and the sky outside the window was getting darker, and it became more and more difficult to escape.

No food was provided in the cell, and as far as the eye could see, only the kettle for tea on the dilapidated round table looked brand new...... Water is the source of life, and it seems that the king of Shang really doesn't provide a little extra heat for the prisoner to have the strength to think-

The effect of the drug seemed to be a little superior, and Xie Lingxu felt that the world was spinning in a moment, and he fell asleep in a daze......

………………

………………

In a half-dream, I seemed to vaguely hear the sound of "squirming", only to feel that my waist was touched by something, and someone seemed to have pressed it down......

Xie Lingxu turned over and suppressed the man, and the reckless sword instantly turned into his hand, mercilessly touching the neck of the predecessor-

"It's me!" The familiar voice came to mind in his ears, and with the bright light reflected by the sword blade, Xie Lingxu saw clearly the person who was pressed on the bed by himself, and couldn't help but be stunned......

"Mu Yunβ€”"

Xie Lingxu frowned: "You ......"

Mu Yun: "The light was too dim to see clearly." ”

Xie Lingxu: "What are you doing here?" ”

"Of course it's savedβ€”"

- "What's the sound inside?"

The caretaker outside the window seemed to sense the movement in the house and poked inside......

Xie Lingxu subconsciously leaned down-

"Silence, you heard me wrong!"

……………………

……………………

Pressed against the former, the side faces of the two were almost close to the ......

Too late to feel embarrassed, Xie Lingxu turned his head to look out the window, suppressed his breath and said in a low voice:

"What now? How do we get out? ”

Mu Yun turned his face and whispered in Xie Lingxu's ear: "This-" Unexpectedly, the latter suddenly leaned towards him, and his soft lips accidentally touched her ear...... A mask is enough to make the hearts of the two of them palpitate-

Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Mu Yun turned his face and said in a low voice:

"It's ...... here, and the terrain is complex, like a maze of interlaced roads, easy to get in and out of. It's not dawn yet, and it's hard to escape at this time, so we'll leave at dawn. ”

………………

didn't hear the former's response, Mu Yun turned his face to look at the tense back of Xie Lingxu's neck-

Before he could recover from Fang Cai's embarrassment, Xie Lingxu bit his lower lip, only to feel that his brain was a little hot, and he didn't have the heart to speak again......

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”β€”

It was already dawn outside the window, leaning against the side of the door, Xie Lingxu clenched the reckless sword in his hand, thinking that there must be another fight after the door opened......

Mu Yun pushed open the door first, and immediately stopped Xie Lingxu, who was in a posture - I saw him make a silent gesture and pointed to the guard who was already asleep on the side of the door......

Mu Yun: "Follow meβ€”"

……………………

Along the way, the two walked along the corner, avoiding the guards patrolling back and forth.

Following Mu Yun and going through countless forks in the road, Xie Lingxu finally understood what the labyrinth in the former's mouth meant......

The king of Shang can build such a place in secret, presumably there are not a few Xuanxuan who are playing behind his back, and he can't keep it all, he has already formed an army, and it has also won the hearts of many people, just wait for the time to be ripe, and then set off a bloody storm -

recalled that the dead soldier who assassinated him during the investigation of the case was also a group of people raised by the king of Shang......

Thinking about his thoughts, Xie Lingxu walked by himself, but he didn't know that Mu Yun in front of him raised his hand to block his way-

Crashing into the former's solid arm without a head, Xie Lingxu almost spit out a mouthful of old blood......

Mu Yun: "Watch your feet, there are many mechanisms here. ”

"Ah......?" Xie Lingxu was stunned for a moment, and then looked around - he felt that there was really no mystery from the faint stone in front of him......

Xie Lingxu raised his feet and was about to take a step, but he heard the person next to him suddenly say:

"Don't step on the left, there's a hidden rope!"

Groove ...... Xie Lingxu was stunned, his dangling feet didn't know where to go for a while, and his body lost his center of gravity......

Mu Yun stepped forward and grabbed Xie Lingxu's back - I saw him pause for a moment, his eyes solemn......

Mu Yun: "Organβ€”"

Xie Lingxu was shocked: "Where is it?" ”

- "...... Under My Feet"
