You can't have it both ways.

It's true, there are not so many things in this world that have the best of both worlds, after all, it is the most advantageous side to choose under the trade-off.

But......

"Do I have a choice?" Xu Guozhong lowered his eyebrows and lowered his eyes and said self-deprecatingly, feeling a little self-defeating.

Although Xu Lanqing said that there were two roads, he just took two steps on the other road and found that there was a bottomless cliff ahead.

"There are still some, for example, if you would rather die to resist now, the next day everyone will know that you Xu Guozhong is not afraid of power, loyal to your duties, and sworn to defend the wealth of the empire, everyone will praise you, and your family will also have glory and wealth that you can't enjoy, and I will also be punished."

Xu Lanqing walked to the side of the Ice Emperor as he spoke, and said with a smile: "Reputation and interests are both harvested, killing three birds with one stone." ”

Xu Guozhong was silent, he couldn't understand Xu Lanqing's potential meaning.

This is a naked threat, and the truth is the kind of listening that is the opposite, and he doesn't think he can stand up to the other side.

That's how cruel it is.

"All I know is where the passage is, and at the end of the passage is a gate in the underground warehouse of Mingde Hall, which requires a code and a key to open." Xu Guozhong opened his mouth to express his position.

"Bang Bang!"

Applause suddenly sounded in the steel forest, and Xu Lanqing said with a smile: "Smart people are good at talking." ”

Xu Guozhong raised his head and looked at Xu Lanqing for the first time, the young man's deep eyes made him feel a little stunned in his heart, and it was no longer because of the coercion of the fierce beast:

"There are various mechanisms and alarms in the passage, don't worry about this, but I don't know the situation behind the gate, there should be a soul master to guard it.

After all, it was a place to store ninth-level custom soul guide shells, and if something went wrong, it might be gone, so it couldn't be too cautious.

……”

Xu Guozhong told all the information he knew in one breath, anyway, he was going to do this kind of thing that was similar to the nature of rebellion, and what else was there to hide.

He thought about his experience was quite twists and turns, twelve years ago, Lao Tzu who took refuge in Xu Lanqing fought the emperor of the previous dynasty, and now he refuted with Xu Lanqing to fight ...... The Three Princes?

No one has a big fist, and now he can only pray that the other party will talk and not kill the donkey.

During the conversation, they walked to a hidden corner, and Xu Guozhong's voice sounded after making a fuss on the empty wall.

A large door slowly moved to the left, and the lights on the ceiling lit up from the outside to the inside, illuminating the silver-white metal passage, and finally hitting the heavy metal door.

Xu Guozhong stepped in, took out a white card and scratched a groove in the wall, and then explained:

"This is the permission card, and all the mechanisms and alarms in this passage will be cleared in a short period of time, and will not attract the attention of the other side."

He strode into it: "Otherwise, if you break the door violently, the alarm here will sound instantly, and I don't know that here, Mingde Hall, and the palace will also sound the alarm." ”

Xu Lanqing followed behind, in his eyes, this was no different from an ordinary passage, but it was impossible to think about it.

The passage is 400 meters long, and they walked for a minute, during which they mainly listened to Xu Guozhong explain some things.

"Your Highness......"

Xu Guozhong stopped in front of the metal door that looked unshakable.

"What's wrong? To put it bluntly, I'm not one who doesn't listen to advice. ”

Xu Lanqing glanced around the metal door, but did not reach out to touch it, trying to feel the thickness and solidity of the door, because it was likely to make the other side feel something.

Now that the Ice Emperor is covered, with her strength, she doesn't have to worry too much.

"My subordinates dare to ask, what do you need to do with those ninth-level fixed soul guide shells?" Xu Guozhong endured all the way, but he still couldn't hold back.

It's impossible for it to bombard the palace with it, blow up Xu Tianran, maybe add an emperor, and then the royal family will only have Xu Lanqing left with an orthodox and logical successor?

Brother and brother? Father's kindness and filial piety?

But the probability of success is really low, the palace is heavily guarded, and it has its own defense system, not to mention the means that are hidden and not used.

Moreover, Xu Lanqing doesn't seem to be a person who can do that.

"Curiosity kills cats." Xu Lan said lightly: "What you should know will naturally tell you, don't ask more if you shouldn't know, do what I explain to you, you know?" ”

“…… Be. Xu Guozhong pushed behind Xu Lanqing and nodded.

"How thick is this metal door's defense?" Xu Lanqing asked, he didn't see the reason.

In this regard, you still have to ask professional people, although Xu Guozhong's combat power is exaggerated, but he is a ninth-level soul master, and he still has the knowledge he should have.

As if he knew that Xu Lanqing would ask this, Xu Guozhong quickly said: "According to my experience, the thickness of this door is between fifteen and twenty meters, and one meter on the surface is a hard ordinary alloy to prevent corrosion and oxidation, and I don't know the rare metals inside, it should be fused by the inside of Mingdetang."

Defense, if conservatively estimated, requires at least ninety-eight levels of strength to slowly chisel out, but the alarm system can't avoid it now. ”

Regarding the strength of the people around Xu Lanqing, Xu Guozhong did not doubt that he had the ability to break through the door, this woman with turquoise hair and white hair, the strength was so terrifying that he couldn't imagine.

"Is this turtle shell so hard?" The Ice Emperor obviously didn't believe it.

"This is what the empire has built up at the cost of countless resources." Xu Guozhong said: "Of course, you can use more brute force to blast, and bet that the bomb in one hand will not explode." ”

The Ice Emperor was a little eager to see if this defense was as hard as Xu Guozhong said.

"It's best not to try it easily, the alarm system inside is not in line with the outside, as long as it is hit harder, the alarm will sound throughout Mingdu."

Xu Guozhong added: "And we don't know the situation inside, even if we can find a way not to alarm the alarm system, after breaking the defense, the other party may find out as soon as possible and then manually call the police." ”

"What now?" The Ice Emperor glanced at the indestructible metal door, and subconsciously turned his head to ask Xu Lanqing.

The next second, she was stunned for a moment, when would she think about asking Xu Lanqing before doing something?

She frowned slightly, feeling that her brain was a mess, all about Xu Lanqing.

Forget it, don't think about things you can't figure out, it will only increase your troubles.

"Let's go back first." Xu Lanqing shook his head and said, "I can't do anything if I stay here all the time." ”

"It's just a wall, and it's just a matter of breaking it." The Ice Emperor clasped his hands on his chest, tilted his face slightly, and spoke in an arrogant tone.

"Of course my Bing'er is amazing." Xu Lanqing put his hands on her shoulders and pushed out: "Come back later, there is a chance for you to do it." ”

The Ice Emperor let herself be pushed away, and her round shoulders that were leaking out were pressed by her hot palms, as if the heat was transmitted to the bottom of her heart, and her pretty face was slightly red with her back to Xu Lanqing.

"Seriously, it's just a wall ...... left and right."

"No need to emphasize, I believe in you, no matter what you say, I believe you, because you are no one else, you are the Bing'er I like."

"Shut up! Do you believe it or not, I'll go back and tell Snow Maiden? The Ice Emperor's cheeks turned even redder.

"I believe, I believe ......"
