Chapter Seventy-Six: Wrath

When Chen Tong passed the news of Jin Se and Xuan Ming's escape to Zhong Lishuo, Zhong Lishuo was leisurely drinking tea in his study, and he could see how confident he was in being able to easily catch Xuan Ming and Jin Se, so this would explain how surprised he was when he suddenly got up from his chair when he heard the news.

Chen Tong lowered his head, his face was serious, and he said in a low voice:

"Your Highness, please calm your anger. I'll be sure to get them back as soon as possible. After speaking, Chen Tong raised his eyes and peeked at Zhong Lishuo from the corner of his eye. Zhong Lishuo's face was gloomy, as if it was about to be a stormy day. The corners of his mouth were tightly pursed, even tugging at the tendons attached to his neck.

Chen Tong had never seen Zhong Lishuo so angry, he faintly remembered the reaction of Zhong Lishuo when he injured Jin Se last time, and the doubts in his heart seemed to be somewhat resolved, but he couldn't think of why such a female killer could make Zhong Lishuo so concerned. But even with this thought, these words could not be spoken. Chen Tong understood that if he said these words, the glory of the rest of his life would most likely be buried like this.

Zhong Lishuo didn't speak for a long time, as if he didn't want to bother to bother to take the blame for why they could make such a shoddy mistake. After a while, he sat back in his seat, sighed deeply, and said in a very flat tone:

"In which direction did they go?" Chen Tong raised his head slightly, and saw Zhong Lishuo's gloomy face, not locked, his eyelids drooping, and he couldn't guess his thoughts.

"They went out of town. The pursuers said that it seemed to be heading for a desolate place. ”

"Desolate?" Zhong Lishuo repeated in a low voice, and after a while, he seemed to have a plan in his heart, and an extremely strange light flashed in his eyes. He smirked, "The most desolate state in the country can only be in the desert region. It was a terrible place, and there were no people on the ground for thousands of miles, except for the cliffs and the desert. Eighty percent of them went there with some kind of premeditation. ”

Chen Tong listened to Zhong Lishuo's words, and could only nod his head and say yes. Now he didn't know what kind of medicine Zhong Lishuo was buying in his gourd. Zhong Lishuo suddenly came to his senses, picked up a bowl of herbal tea on the table again and took a sip, his expression was no longer full of anger, and he returned to his previous indifferent feeling.

"The two of them are not in a hurry, you had better go to the prison and send a message to Shangguan Hong and tell him everything that has happened in the past few days. There may be other gains. Chen commanded the order and was about to leave Zhong Lishuo's door, when Zhong Lishuo suddenly called him to stop and said:

"Wait, I'll go with you to see Lord Shangguan. As for the two escaped killers, you just have to look for them all the way. You go tell your men first and ask them to be careful. ”

Chen Tong heard the meaning of Zhong Lishuo's words. Nod:

"Yes, Your Highness. Then please wait for Your Highness in the house. Zhong Lishuo nodded, and Chen Tong went out.

Zhong Lishuo sat in the study, facing a bowl of cold tea in a daze, what he was thinking, he didn't know, but he knew very clearly that now was a good time for him to take power. Although the queen is still under lockdown, she will be released one day. Although Shangguan Hong was given a death order for Ling Chi, there was still no news. The crown prince has just been deposed, and it is difficult for him to have a proper name if he is moved now. This may be due to Shangguan Hong, although his power has defected after his downfall, but the effect does not seem to be great, and part of it is controlled by the crown prince. Now these people must have gathered their resentment on Zhong Lishuo's body, he must not risk his life now, but if a little bit reaches the ears of others, it will inevitably not cause any uproar.

In this way, it was extremely difficult for Zhong Lishuo. He originally thought that he would take this opportunity to go to the meeting with Guan Hong, and then add a force to his despair, maybe he would be moved, but now, he began to hesitate again, in case this matter reached the ears of the old emperor, it would naturally not be of any benefit to him.

Hesitating, as if he was in a quagmire of fear, Zhong Lishuo never dared to show what he had now, his mind was falling into darkness, unable to extricate himself.

The door of the study was suddenly pushed open, Zhong Lishuo was startled, looked towards the door, and saw Wen Shumei appear at the door. Zhong Lishuo was relieved at this time, adjusted his sitting posture, and asked:

"Why are you here?" Wen Shumei smiled:

"Didn't Your Highness notice that it was almost dark?" Zhong Lishuo was subconsciously looked out of the window by Wen Shumei's rhetorical question, and the sky was already gradually darkening. Zhong Lishuo turned his head and looked at Wen Shumei, as if he was drinking a stick. It suddenly occurred to him that he could learn about Shangguan Hong's previous actions from other sources.

Then, Shangguan Hong doesn't have to keep it now.
