Chapter 448: Locked up in the underground palace
"You understand, at the beginning, our imperial merchant Ren family was secretly slandered by Duan Jian and Princess Qingyang on suspicion of selling iron ore with Xia State, and then all over the house was beheaded, but in fact, you and Yue Wang Zhao Qian had a private iron ore transaction, and now Yue Wang Zhao Qian has been killed by me, I have in my hand the secret letters you have in private, as well as the account books of your iron ore transactions for so many years, if these are known by Duan Mastiff and those ministers, you should be able to foresee your fate!" After saying this, Xu Junze looked coldly at Zheng Xian, who was still pointing his sword at him, and said, "Why, are you still unwilling to put down the sword in your hand?!" ”
Zheng Xian's eyes flashed with shock, he also thought that with the death of Zhao Qian, the king of Yue, the things he had done, would disappear unconsciously, but he didn't expect that the evidence of the private exchange between the two would now fall into Xu Junze's hands, and he slowly put down the long sword in his hand.
"Don't think that you can threaten me with any so-called evidence in your hand, don't forget, what kind of place is this, I want to take your life as easily!" Zheng Xian's tone was still stiff and murderous, and his eyes looking at Xu Junze were also ruthless.
Xu Junze didn't care about his performance at all, and said: "I just want to take revenge, so General Zheng really doesn't think about it?" We now have a common enemy! ”
Zheng Xianke knows better than Xu Junze what kind of people the two brothers Duan Mastiff and Duan Ji are, even people like Xiao Jingde, the Duke of Qi, have been forced to rebel, how can he be willing to be driven by the surname Duan, not to mention that he was born in a reckless manner, and he has already had the heart to rebel.
"You want to cooperate with me, do you want to do something to show your sincerity?" Zheng Xian's tone changed, and his attitude softened.
Xu Junze asked him rhetorically: "What kind of sincerity does General Zheng want?" Those pieces of evidence between you and Zhao Qian, the king of Yue? ”
Unexpectedly, Zheng Xian sneered and said: "Zhao Qian is dead, the evidence you said is just dead things, there is no proof of death, I have nothing to admit, even if you advertise the world, I can say that you Jin Dynasty people deliberately framed me, I want you to get rid of Duan Ji and his son, of course I will help you in secret!" ”
"Okay, I promise you, I will get rid of Duan Ji's father and son!" This was originally what Xu Junze planned to do, so he said without hesitation, and at the same time looked at Zheng Xian and asked, "Then what is General Zheng's sincerity?" ”
At this time, Zheng Xian smiled at him meaningfully, and then said: "I know that you are secretly looking for the little girl named Su Ge and the head of Tianmen Mountain, Xing Suzi, they were all captured by our emperor and put into the underground palace. Saying that, Zheng Xian couldn't help but snort coldly, and the corners of his mouth were full of mockery and continued, "There are no immortals and immortals in the world, and true power and wealth are the most important. ”
Xu Junze is no stranger to the "underground palace" in Zheng Xian's mouth, when he first came to Xia Kingdom to look for his biological mother's coffin, he entered the underground palace of the Xia royal family three times, and almost died in it every time.
Not to mention the complex terrain in the dungeon, there are hidden traps everywhere, and if you are not careful, you may die inside, and the traps inside will also change, which is difficult to prevent.
However, now that he already knows the clues of Xing Suzi and Su Ge, he must go to confirm it, and at the same time discuss with Zheng Xian how to get rid of Duan Ji's father and son.
After returning to the small courtyard, he told Lin Shuran and Honggu about the cooperation between himself and Zheng Xian, and Honggu took the initiative to say to Xu Junze after hearing this: "General, leave the matter of finding someone in the underground palace to me!" ”
Xu Junze nodded meaningfully at Honggu, the reason why he was so relieved to let Honggu check was because he knew a long time ago that Honggu's father-in-law was Gao Lun Gao's father-in-law, and although he was not familiar with this Gao Gonggong, he found out a lot of things about him, and knew that he had a great relationship with his biological mother, Princess Fengrong, and when he encountered danger several times in Xia Kingdom, it was this Gao Gonggong's people who saved him, and he installed a lot of people in Xia Guoke, and even there were people from him in the royal family of Xia Kingdom.
After that, Honggu went out, and soon brought him the exact news, Su Ge and Xing Suzi were still alive, and they were all imprisoned in the water prison of the underground palace, but the fifth uncle Dongfang Ji was tortured by Duan Mastiff and had half his life left, but the person who inquired about the news was found and killed, and sent the news out before he died, and at the same time, the entire Xia Kingdom Palace strengthened the guards, and now even a fly can't fly out.
"This person must be rescued as soon as possible, Dongfang Ji's body can no longer hold on!" After Honggu informed Xu Junze and Lin Shuran of the news, she said anxiously that Lin Shuran had never seen her lose her temper like this.
"Honggu, don't worry, I will definitely rescue them as soon as possible!" Xu Junze assured.
"General, you can leave the matter of saving people to me, there are many people in the capital division of this Xia country who have been arranged before Dongfang Ji, those people are all masters of the rivers and lakes, and now that we know that he is in the underground palace of the Xia country, we will definitely be able to rescue people." Honggu didn't want to wait for even a moment, she knew the current situation of Dongfang Ji's body better than anyone else, it seemed that he was strong in martial arts, but in fact, every time he used his internal force, his body was seriously depleted, he was just holding on all these years, she was worried about him, very worried.
"Honggu, you are not familiar with the situation in the underground palace, even if you want to save people, you should go with me, otherwise it is very likely that people will not be rescued, and you will not be able to come back." Xu Junze knew how dangerous that dungeon was, he couldn't watch Honggu and Fifth Uncle's people go to death in vain, and there were still many masters hidden in the dungeon, he had fought with those people, and each was not simple, although he and Fifth Uncle killed some last time, but according to Duan Mastiff's temperament, there would only be more and no fewer masters inside.
Honggu didn't want Xu Junze to take risks, because he still had Lin Shuran to take care of, and she also had her stepfather Gao Lun to help, as long as she planned carefully, she should be able to rescue people.
But Xu Junze insisted on participating in saving people, although Lin Shuran knew that it was very dangerous to go to the underground palace to save people, but he also knew that this trip had to go, and Xu Junze had a better chance of winning, so she asked Xu Junze and Honggu not to worry about themselves, as long as they rescued the fifth uncle and Su Ge.
So, Xu Junze left the fifth uncle and Xu Mingye and Lingqin to protect Lin Shuran, and the rest of the people went to the underground palace with him to save people, they set off at night, but they didn't come back until the next morning, fortunately, before going Xu Junze told Lin Shuran that the terrain in the underground palace is complicated, and it may take a lot of twists and turns to find people, and it is estimated that they will not be able to come back in three or five days.
Lin Shuran had no choice but to wait in the small courtyard with peace of mind, but Uncle Chu suddenly came to him, saying that Zheng Xian had sent the news that Duan Jian and Duan Yunhao had temporarily decided to go to the royal hunting ground in the suburbs, and he could help get rid of the guards outside the hunting ground, and today was a good time to intercept and kill the father and son.
"Madame, what now?" Uncle Chu didn't dare to act rashly, Xu Junze had an explanation before going to the underground palace, and asked him to discuss with Lin Shuran in case of trouble.
