On the dark courtyard wall, a black figure lay on the bricks and tiles, staring at the lights that suddenly lit up inside, motionless.

His whole person is integrated with the night and the building, and even if you look closely, you may not be able to find it.

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew.

The black shadow felt a little chilly, he didn't move the slightest, the person inside was a ninth-level soul master, and the slightest mistake in monitoring the other party was fatal.

"Your Highness, I've been waiting for your Highness for a long time......" Xu Guozhong hurried out of the bedroom.

In order to save time, he casually took the work clothes hanging by the bed and put them on, and came out, the clothes were crooked, and the buttons were buttoned while walking.

"Soon, but your mansion is quite lively, and people climb the wall to stare at it at night." Xu Lanqing leaned back in his chair and said for a long time: "It can't be the guard you arranged, right?" ”

The Ice Emperor immediately noticed that there was someone monitoring outside, and she was just about to go out to solve it when she was stopped by Xu Lanqing.

He didn't come out with the Snow Emperor just to avoid startling the snake, and now if he kills the people who are watching, won't there be three hundred taels of silver here?

He glanced around, and there were no windows, only a large door, and it was impossible to see where they were from the outside.

Xu Guozhong was stunned for a moment, froze in place, and broke out in a cold sweat: "Your Highness, I didn't arrange someone to guard it, I don't know who sent that person outside to monitor me......"

"Okay, you took the position I gave you, who do you think will monitor you?" Xu Lanqing said.

Xu Guozhong was speechless, and only Xu Tianran would do this.

The other party is definitely not spying on him now, but he didn't find out at all, if this is a different place, not in Mingdu, the emperor of the sky will be far away He would have died many times.

Xu Lanqing revealed the topic: "If he wants to be outside, let him stay on, now let's go to the underground warehouse you guard." ”

Underground warehouses?

Xu Guozhong's eyes flickered, as if he didn't expect to come to him in the middle of the night about this, he said tentatively: "Does Your Highness want the soul guide or rare metal inside?" ”

Xu Lanqing glanced at him without speaking, got up and walked to the Ice Emperor's side, and held her weak and soft little hand under her stunned gaze.

Outsiders were present, and the Ice Emperor held back the heat from his palm and did not shake it off on the spot.

"Let's go, Bing'er." Xu Lanqing didn't just hold it, he also had the audacity to scratch it at the palm of his hand.

The Ice Emperor's delicate body trembled slightly, and his beautiful eyes glared at Xu Lanqing fiercely, and he held Xu Lanqing's hand with his backhand a little harder, and the corners of his smug mouth rose when he saw that the other party's face twitched in pain but he couldn't hold back his voice.

"Bing'er, you look so good when you smile." Xu Lanqing's voice was calm and gentle, as if he didn't feel the slightest pain.

The Ice Emperor's face turned red, the strength in his hand inadvertently relaxed, Xu Lan was so clear that his fingers were interlocked, and he pulled the Ice Emperor who was sitting on the chair up.

"Bing'er, it's okay to smile more, I like your smile, it makes me feel warm in my heart." Xu Lanqing held hands and got closer and closer.

The Ice Emperor didn't bother to refute it anymore.

She kind of understood, as far as Xu Lanqing was cheeky, no matter how she reprimanded the other party, she didn't have a long memory, and she still felt that the other party was happy.

Moreover, I don't know when she started, she couldn't bear to do anything to Xu Lanqing anymore.

Xu Lanqing was happy in his heart, very good, and further, he no longer excludes the title of "Bing'er".

Xu Guozhong, who was on the side, saw that the two were flirting and scolding and were about to go out, but he still spoke, who had been hesitating from the beginning:

"Your Highness, that, if you want to use a large amount of materials in the warehouse, you need Your Majesty's hand."

This still has to be explained, otherwise it will be a big crime to kill the head after someone checks it a few days later and finds that it is not counted.

But instead of saying death, he used the word "a lot", which means that as long as it's not too much, it's still fine.

After all, the inventory and storage quantity of rare metals in this are under his control. Occasionally smuggling some out, the wealth brought is astronomical.

Xu Lan smiled knowingly: "I don't want those materials, let's talk about it in the past." ”

Xu Guozhong's heart not only did not relax, but became heavier, don't want those materials, so what do you want, it's impossible to come over and leave, right?

"Bing'er." Xu Lanqing called lightly.

Getting closer, Xu Lanqing was condescending, and he could see the delicate skin between the slightly open skirt collar of the Ice Emperor.

Beneath the curvy and sensual collarbones are the snow-white and raised foothills and a narrow mountain path for an alluring climb, with plum blossoms hidden in the deepest part.

Looking at it this way, it doesn't seem to be that small?

The Ice Emperor pursed her moist lips and didn't speak, but she undoubtedly understood what Xu Lanqing meant, and waved her free left hand at Xu Guozhong, and disappeared with him in the air.

The lights in the living room dimmed.

The figure who was still lying outside saw that the lights went out, and no one came in or out, thinking that it should be going to the toilet in the middle of the night or not being able to sleep or something.

This had happened from time to time before, but he didn't pay much attention to it.

One by one, figures flashed and fell from the sky, falling into the courtyard next to the Sun Moon Royal Soul Master Academy, without attracting anyone's attention.

Xu Guozhong took the lead and walked into the alley, waving his hand to remove the guards around him.

Xu Lan Qingtian shamelessly led the Ice Emperor to follow him all the way unimpeded, and finally opened the soul guide shield to enter the middle room, opened the cabinet, pressed the password, and took the elevator to enter the warehouse.

In the elevator, Xu Guozhong introduced the situation of the underground warehouse to Xu Lanqing: "Your Highness, this underground warehouse is divided into three layers, the first two floors are rare metals, the first layer is ordinary rare metals that can be bought on the market, and the second layer is restricted rare metals that belong to strategic materials......"

As he spoke, they had already come to the third layer, and Xu Guozhong continued: "This layer is all stored soul guides, the lowest is a fourth-level soul guide, and the highest is a seventh-level customized soul guide cannonball......"

Xu Lanqing looked at the vast underground space, the endless steel forest at a glance, and the air was full of the murderous aura of metal.

On the bright side is a large fourth-level soul guide cannon. This soul guide cannon has a fast rate of fire, high accuracy, an effective range of more than 500 meters, and a large size, so it has wheels and can be dragged forward.

Inside the neatly stacked boxes next to it are soul guide ray guns, small soul guide cannons.

He looked back, and there were even the newly researched mechs in the innermost part, a whole row of giant yellow mechs lined up like an impregnable rock.

"These soul guides are more advanced than the soul guides used in active service, and the entire soul guide with three layers can be taken out to immediately arm three elite soul master legions, and they are still replenishing soul guides here."

Xu Guozhong glanced at Xu Lanqing, who was standing still, and the petite back next to him that frightened him, and said cautiously:

"Your Highness can tell me what is going on now?"

Xu Lanqing let go of the Ice Emperor's soft and jade-like softness, and walked to a highest-grade seventh-level custom-installed soul guide, and the cold touch of the metal between the fingers made him feel a little uncomfortable.

This is the underground warehouse that was blown up by Huo Yuhao in the original book, and it was destroyed before the Sun and Moon Empire could show the world after more than ten years of hard work.

What's more, the explosion also triggered the underground warehouse of Mingde Hall, where sixteen Rank 9 Soul Guide Shells were sleeping in that highly encrypted and heavily defended place.

Sixteen ninth-level fixed-mounted soul guide shells are enough to plow 2,000 square kilometers, and there is no grass left.

Even if it was Extreme Douluo, he was in the center of the explosion, unless a miracle happened, I am afraid there was only one way to die.

Even if it is buried hundreds of meters underground, its power is devastating.

That day was known as the "Day of the Destruction of the Sun and the Moon", and the entire Ming capital was affected, countless civilians were killed and injured, and even the emperor died in the aftermath.

Xu Lanqing shook his head, leaving his miscellaneous thoughts behind, he glanced at the underground warehouse densely packed with soul guides, and asked lightly, "Are these all?" ”

"Yes, Your Highness." Xu Guozhong nodded hurriedly.

He looked at Xu Lanqing's back, and a faint feeling of uneasy discomfort swelled in his heart.

"Looks like I didn't make it clear enough."

Xu Lanqing turned to look at the groveling Xu Guozhong, and sighed: "I mean, apart from these three layers, is there anything else?" ”

Xu Guozhong's head was lowered, and his current gaze could only see Xu Lanqing's calves walking slowly.

He actually felt the pressure from Xu Lanqing, which was different from the suffocating chest tightness of the Ice Emperor, but it also made his heart beat faster, and his clenched palms were moistened with sweat:

"Your Highness, your subordinates...... The subordinates also built a secret space below to be used for greedy ...... Stock up on some precious items. ”

It was a place that only he knew and entered, and there was no better place to build his own little vault than a well-guarded underground warehouse, without worrying about being found out and stolen.

Xu Lan's flat voice came from the top of his head: "I don't care about your careful thoughts." ”

Xu Guozhong breathed a sigh of relief, this kind of thing is not big, it is not small, now Xu Lanqing said this, then he must be fine.

But the next moment, his heart rolled violently like a river and a sea.

Because Xu Lanqing said again: "This place is very close to the underground warehouse of Mingde Hall, right?" ”

It's not just close, it's a neighbor across a wall, but this wall is a few hundred meters thick.

Xu Guozhong felt that his legs and stomach trembled a little, and he almost couldn't stand on his feet and collapsed to the ground.

Xu Lanqing said it so clearly, if he didn't know what the other party meant, he could crash to death on the wall.

He really didn't expect that Xu Lanqing would be so bold as to want to hit Mingdetang's attention.

"Temple...... Your Highness, even if you give your subordinates another hundred dares, they don't dare to hit the attention of Mingdetang, this is a big crime of the Nine Clans......"

Regardless of whether it was useful or not, Xu Guozhong cried with a handful of snot and tears, and it was not an exaggeration to say that his mother was dead.

The fact is that if the matter is discovered, it will definitely be countless times more serious than the death of my own mother, and it will be difficult to die when the time comes.

"Then there's a passage to Mingde Hall."

Xu Lanqing nodded thoughtfully: "Sure enough, it's almost the same as I thought, there must be more than one way out to place so many ninth-level fixed soul guide shells, otherwise no one can afford an accident." ”

"Your Highness, if you want the soul guide here, you can take it as you like, but you really can't touch it......"

Xu Guozhong stared at Xu Lanqing with watery eyes, and he hadn't given up persuasion, and he didn't even care about it.

The lesser of the two.

Take the soul guide here, at most he will die alone afterwards, if something happens to Mingdetang, he can't imagine that the nine clans are light.

"You're teaching me to do things?" Xu Lan said indifferently.

He took two steps back, can you imagine a burly man with tears in his eyes? Anyway, he couldn't stand it.

"Lead the way!" Xu Lan ordered lightly.

The Ice Emperor looked at Xu Guozhong, who was still hesitating, his willow eyebrows frowned, and the turquoise light in his eyes flowed.

She snorted coldly, and the icy chill bypassed Xu Lanqing and shrouded Xu Guozhong's body, and the frost as thin as a cicada's wings quietly condensed.

If you want the other party to be named Douluo, it is far from enough to rely on coercion.

She directly used her domain skills, the Eternal Frozen Domain, to break Xu Guozhong's will in one fell swoop.

Xu Guozhong's expression was shocked and frightened.

Still thinking about persuading him, he couldn't speak as if his throat was choked, his slightly dark face turned purple, and the overwhelming coercion was like the power of heaven and earth, so that he couldn't resist at all.

Even if he was now a Title Douluo, he was completely convinced that if he said half a "no" again, he would definitely be frozen into an ice sculpture in an instant.

He gritted his teeth, the ultra-low temperature was so cold that he shivered, the blood in his body seemed to be frozen into slag, and the blood flow brought the pain of piercing the heart and cutting the bones.

The savage, ferocious aura was like a ferocious monster opening its bloody mouth, and the next moment it was about to be chewed and chewed.

Fierce beasts, definitely fierce beasts!

Xu Lanqing looked at Xu Guozhong, who was struggling to insist on not saying a word, but he looked up to him.

Sure enough, the vast majority of people in this world will have some inner insistence on the bottom line, and those things are more frightening than death.

He glanced at the Ice Emperor, and then said gently:

"I can assure you that as long as you do things in peace, it will not cause harm to you and your family."

The Ice Emperor pouted, withdrew the coercion, and according to her thoughts, if the other party disagreed, it would be good to hit the other party directly until she agreed.

Humans are the problem.

Xu Guozhong, who was still holding on, lost the pressure, and suddenly collapsed on the cold metal ground, which made him feel a little energetic.

A pair of hands helped him up, and when he looked at the stage, it was Xu Lanqing with a smile on his face.

Xu Guozhong gasped for breath and said with a bitter smile: "Your Highness, you are really embarrassed to kill me." ”

"There will always be times in life when you face some choices, even if you don't have it now, it will find you in the future."

Xu Lanqing patted his dusty neckline, looked at his eyes calmly, and said:

"You are now standing at the two-way intersection of choices, choose the right one, soar and flourish, choose the wrong one, and there will be no return.

What would you choose? ”
