Imperial Palace, Hidden Dragon Palace.

According to the rules of the Hidden Dragon Guard, the replaced Hidden Dragon Guard will be personally arranged by the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard for other guard tasks.

Cao Chuan, Wen Jinghao and Yu Qinglan's disguised Qianlong Wei had just been transferred from the imperial study by Lu Mengli with a holy decree, so they naturally wanted to accept the dispatch of the leader of the Qianlong Wei to go to other places to continue their tasks.

After a short wait, it was the turn of the three of them to accept the new assignment.

Stand in front of the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard according to the rules.

Unlike the previous inspections outside the Hidden Dragon Palace, this time the investigation from the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard was more careful and in-depth.

If it weren't for Yu Qinglan personally disguising himself, I am afraid that the disguise of the three of them would be revealed in the next second.

Because I was afraid that Lu Mengli, who had ordered the Qianlong Guard to do things for himself for a hundred years, would not have imagined that the only three remaining veteran-level leaders of the Qianlong Guard were now the powerful realm of the Seven Consummations of the Cave Ruins Realm.

With Cao Chuan and Wen Jinghao's strength, it is impossible to have any impact on them at all.

After probing the sea of knowledge of Cao Chuan and the three of them, they found that there were no problems.

One of the leaders of the Hidden Dragon Guard, a white-bearded old man dressed in a robe embroidered with a green dragon, opened his mouth and motioned for the three of them to follow him.

In order to pursue the truth and complete the task, Cao Chuan and the three obediently followed behind each other and walked with them to a side hall located on the side of the Qianlong Palace.

At the moment of entering the side hall.

Yu Qinglan immediately made a move, invisibly wrapping the entire side hall with his own spiritual power, and at the same time turning his spiritual power into silk threads, like a chain, binding the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard who led the way in front of him.

Obviously, the leader of the Qianlong Guard did not expect that the Qianlong Guard, who had been personally inspected by himself and confirmed that there was no problem, would suddenly attack him, and he did not expect that it was actually not the Qianlong Guard who did it to himself.

The three Cao Chuan, who had temporarily recovered to their original state, walked in front of him.

The leader of the Dragonguard struggled frantically, his mouth opening open but not making any sound.

Even the spiritual power circulating in his body was only running wildly in his body, but he could never leave his body for half a step.

At this time, Yu Qinglan walked in front of him and asked, "I have some questions for you, you have to answer me honestly, I don't know if you are willing to answer me?" ”

"Wishful thinking!"

Under Yu Qinglan's control, the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard could only utter specific words from his mouth.

And the first thing he said was to refuse Yu Qinglan's request.

Yu Qinglan's expression immediately sank, and then he stretched out his hand and snapped his fingers.

"Ahh

A violent spiritual power instantly poured into its body along the spiritual power threads that bound the Hidden Dragon Guard, and began to tear the meridians and dantian of the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard everywhere.

In a short time, these violent spiritual powers broke through the flesh and blood of the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard.

Blood burst out continuously, instantly turning the leader of the Hidden Dragon Guard into a bloody man.

His breath immediately became sluggish.

However, the pain that exists in the body is not over, but has changed from a simple and direct pain to a vague and itchy pain that appears immediately in various parts of the body.

The itching and pain made the old man want to reach out and scratch it, but he was controlled and couldn't move, so he could only forcibly endure it.

At the same time, Yu Qinglan's voice sounded in his ears: "As long as you are willing to answer my question, I will keep your life, so that you can become an ordinary person, and then spend your old age in a place where no one can find you, otherwise I will let you be tortured to death by this heart-piercing pain." ”

"I think you should already know very well that my cultivation realm is stronger than any of you Hidden Dragon Guards, even if I kill you, I will have a way to hide from the world, and no one will doubt my identity."

"So now... Are you ready to answer my question? ”

When the words fell, Yu Qinglan was expressionless, staring at the old man coldly.

The old man, who was tormented by the pain, should have been dizzy, but was stimulated by Yu Qinglan with spiritual power and couldn't faint, closed his eyes helplessly, and then sighed: "What do you want to know?" ”

"Hehehehehe... If you knew this was the case, why bother in the first place. ”

Stretching out his hand and patting the old man's face, Yu Qinglan then chuckled and asked, "I want to know, who is secretly instructing you to seize Lu Mengli's power as the emperor, who wants to seek power and usurp the throne, is it the one Meng Feiran who should have died?" ”

A few questions were thrown out of his mouth before he was asked.

The old man, who was still closing his eyes just now and was about to accept his fate, suddenly widened his eyes and showed an expression of disbelief.

I saw him constantly looking up and down at Yu Qinglan, who asked the questions just now, and asked in surprise, "How do you know?" ”

"That's not right!"

"Heh... I was negligent, after all, with your strength, it is easy to know who we are doing things for. ”

Immediately, the old man who thought that Yu Qinglan's strength was far above his own did not continue to ask.

In order to save his life, he first said to Yu Qinglan: "If you can help me erase that trace of consciousness in the sea of consciousness, I will tell you everything I know, otherwise even if you kill me, even if you use soul searching to probe my soul memory, I will not answer any more questions from you." ”

"Really?"

"Looks like you're a smart guy."

"Smart people really should make smart enough choices."

Yu Qinglan, who had anticipated the old man's requirements, just moved his fingers, and he had already erased the idea that the old man was inextricably linked to Meng Feiran in the sea of knowledge.

Immediately, the old man who sensed that something seemed to have disappeared in his mind immediately grinned: "I have been controlled for more than a hundred years, I really didn't expect that the old man and I would have a day to regain my freedom." ”

"Since you helped me regain my freedom, I'll tell you everything you want to know."

"But I have a word in advance, what I know is not necessarily true, all I can tell you is what I have seen with my own eyes."

Although he didn't want to believe that Yu Qinglan would really let himself regain his freedom.

But the old man who was more willing to gamble on freedom finally chose to believe Yu Qinglan.

So he began to tell what he had seen with his own eyes.

··· ···

The beginning of the matter also starts from the day when Lu Sanyuan led the palace guards to rebel.

At that time, the first emperor ordered the Qianlong Guard to be handed over to Meng Feiran to take charge.

At that time, the old man, who was also the leader of the Qianlong Guard, protected Meng Feiran and Lu Mengli in the palace.

However, due to the will of the emperor, the old man would only obey Meng Feiran's orders.

So after solving Lu Sanyuan, the old man received an order from Meng Feiran to meet him.

After meeting, the old man found that Meng Feiran was not a complete ordinary person as the emperor and they imagined.

Rather, it is a sinister and cunning person whose eyes are slightly narrowed, and from which greed constantly flashes.

It's just that no one knows why Meng Feiran is like this.

The leader of the Dragonguard also knows to serve him.

So the old man obediently went up to him and knelt down before him.

But in the next second.

The old man found that he had lost consciousness.

When he woke up, he found that there was a strange power in his sea of consciousness.

This power is nothing else, it comes from Meng Feiran's divine soul consciousness, as long as he moves his thoughts, Meng Feiran can directly kill him.

But for the old man at that time, there was actually no problem for Meng Feiran to do this, he just felt a little curious about it and didn't pay attention to it anymore, just concentrating on the task given to him by Meng Feiran.

Over time, although the old man still had a heart, he basically trusted Meng Feiran completely, thinking that he was a real leader who could lead the Qianlong Guard to support the empress to the throne.

In fact, Meng Feiran did exactly that.

He did help Lu Mengli become the empress of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

But on the second day after Lu Mengli became the empress.

Meng Feiran, who thought that he had completely controlled the Hidden Dragon Guard, took the three leaders of the Hidden Dragon Guard to the underground dungeon of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

Unlike the old man, the other two leaders have become puppets completely and have lost their minds.

The old man retained the last shred of his sobriety.

In this way, he can see everything clearly in the next step.

He also knew what Meng Feiran was going to do, and every move that Meng Feiran had arranged over the past hundred years.
