Chapter 46 Chess Pieces
In the woods, the fire was blazing, and everyone sat on the ground, the rustle of leaves in their ears.
Qi Yue said, "General Zhang, why are you here?"
Zhang Tiedao, who was wiping the footprints on his face: "Third princess, we are here this time to save His Royal Highness the Prince"
"Save my big brother?"
"Yes" Zhang Tie nodded, "We originally planned to intercept the team escorting the prince halfway, but who knew that there were monks in their team, and we lost many brothers and failed to succeed."
Qi Yue's face showed sadness, "General Zhang, I've worked hard for you"
"Third princess, what's the situation in the capital now?"
Qi Yue said: "The situation in the capital is very bad now, my second brother has already turned against him, and my father doesn't know what is going on now."
Zhang Tie hesitated for a moment and said, "Third Princess, I have something to tell you, maybe Your Majesty has been controlled by Qi Ying."
Qi Yue frowned and said, "Father Emperor is controlled, why do you say that?"
Zhang Tiedao: "I also heard about this matter from the prince's mouth, before the prince's guest secretary Feng Lao had hinted to the prince that he wanted to cooperate with him to help him seize the Canglan country, and also to help him conquer other countries, but the prince did not agree,
And it was also at that time that the crown prince knew about His Majesty's control, and now His Majesty is no different from a puppet."
Zhang Tie's news made Qi Yue unable to accept it for a while.
Qin Yun had been prepared for a long time, after all, when she first met Qi Xingde, Yao Ji had already discovered that something was wrong.
The crowd was silent, and the situation was terrible for them.
At this moment, Zhang Tie suddenly stood up, half-knelt in front of Qi Yue, drew his sword, and offered it with both hands, "The last general, Zhang Tie, implore the third princess to lead us and others to crusade against the traitor!"
Qi Yue hurriedly said, "General Zhang, what are you doing here?"
Zhang Tie looked at her firmly, "Princess, now that the court is in turmoil, and the traitorous ministers are in charge, we are willing to die for the vicissitudes, and we are willing to be loyal to the princess, quell the chaos and thieves, and revitalize the dynasty."
Zhang Tie's subordinates knelt down at the same time and shouted in unison: "Quell the rebels, Zhen Chaogang!"
Qi Yue didn't know what to do at this time, it was the first time she faced such a scene, and she subconsciously glanced at Qin Yun.
saw Qin Yun smiling and looking at her, his eyes seemed to say, "No matter what happens, I'm behind you"
At this moment, a sentence sounded in Qi Yue's ears, "Have you heard of Wu Zetian?"
Some decisions are often made on the spur of the moment.
Qi Yue held Zhang Tie's sword, and the sword under the moonlight glowed with cold light, "All the soldiers listen to the order!"
——
There is an underground secret passage under the mansion of His Royal Highness the Second Prince, which is dark and damp, and the air is filled with the smell of decay.
Qi Ying slowly climbed the stairs with a torch, and after a moment, he stopped.
The light of the fire shone on the walls of the secret passage, and on the wall a man was covered in blood, and his hands and feet were bound by chains.
The man looked at Qi Ying and sneered: "Qi Ying, you didn't even let go of your brother and father in order to be this emperor, your heart is really ruthless!"
Qi Ying picked up the torture instrument placed on the side and picked a whip casually, "The most ruthless emperor's family"
"Hahahaha" The man laughed wildly: "Qi Ying, do you think you are worthy of being an emperor?"
Qi Ying whipped the man, and the man's skin suddenly opened, "It's the emperor who wins the talent, isn't it?"
The man endured the pain, with pity in his eyes, "Did you win? You are just fighting with the tiger, the one called the god will not care about the Canglan Kingdom at all, and he will not care about you, you are just a chess piece, you can be discarded,
He has looked for his father and me, but neither of us agreed to cooperate with him, because we all know that he has great plans, but only your interests are blinded, and plotting with him is only a dead end!"
Qi Ying's eyes were fierce, and his hand pressed on the man's wound, "What's the matter, I'm the winner, you lose, you become the king and lose, who cares about the process, I just want the result"
"Qi Ying, why did you become like this, among the many brothers in the past, only you were the kindest, but why have you become so vicious today," the man questioned.
Qi Ying discarded the whip in his hand, picked up an awl, and said with a perverted smile: "My kindness is all disguised, because if I don't disguise, I won't be able to live in this emperor's family, this is the truth that my mother told me before she died,
Now I don't need to pretend, because it won't be long before I am the only emperor of this Canglan country!"
Qi Ying inserted the awl into the man's shoulder, "Do you know? Among the many brothers, the person I hate the most is you, you are obviously not as good as me at all, it is nothing more than that you are born to the queen, so you can be the prince, and I will always be a second prince,
The second prince is okay, I don't care, but your mother killed my mother and took away my most important person, I will never forget my mother's deathbed, but unfortunately, the queen died too early, if only she were still alive now,
So I can torture her properly, oh, by the way, I remember, her body should be in the Queen's Mausoleum, right?"
The prince's pupils shrank, and he realized that something was wrong, "What do you want to do?"
"It's nothing, when I'm free someday, find a time to worship her"
"You madman, madman!" the prince struggled angrily.
"I'm really crazy, and I've been driven crazy by you!"
Qi Ying walked out of the secret passage with a torch, and it became pitch black again.
Walking out of the secret passage, it was warm sunlight outside, Qi Ying raised his head and stretched out his hand to block the dazzling light.
Suddenly, there was a dark shadow in the corner of his eye, and he turned his head and said, "Qin Yun, have they found it?"
"Not yet"
"Heh, how good I am for you, I can't even find two of you," Qi Ying sneered.
The god lord wearing a black cloak grabbed Qi Ying's neck with one hand, "You are just a pawn of mine, don't come to challenge my bottom line"
Qi Ying couldn't breathe at all, her face flushed, and she said with difficulty: "I know"
The Divine Lord put down his hand and said in a cold voice: "Finding these two people is not the main thing, the most important thing is tomorrow's plan, and have you found the soul of your royal family's divine beast?"
"I found it, in the Temple of Heaven, but this Temple of Heaven is protected by a formation, and if you want to unlock the formation, you need to find the old emperor, but now the old emperor is controlled by you, and he doesn't know at all, even if he knows, he probably won't say it."
The god said: "I will find a way to solve the matter of the formation, I must get the soul of the divine beast, but it is not the most urgent thing now."
With that, the Lord vanished.
Qi Ying squinted slightly, "Chess pieces?" maybe, but no matter how small the chess pieces are, they can't kill the chess player, just wait."
