Chapter 46: The Underground Palace
Gu Zhengguang's body trembled, and he hurriedly replied:
"My lord, my subordinates don't dare! My subordinates were going to use the means, but Miss Su took over.
She said that there was no such thing in Zhaojiao, that blind torture might not be useful, and that she had a quicker way.
Yes, subordinates ......"
Shangguan Wushu frowned slightly, but he did not continue to investigate.
Gu Zhengguang secretly breathed a sigh of relief, raised his head, but just saw Su Rongrong coming, and his face suddenly turned happy.
"My lord, Miss Su is here. ”
Shangguan Invincible raised his eyes, and his eyes couldn't help but glow with a hint of expectation.
The longer the delay became, the more likely it was that the other party would escape, and he could only hope that Su Rongrong could bring good news.
Su Rongrong came to the front in a brocade dress, although her face did not change, but it still gave people a sense of heroic and elegant, as if she was a scorching girl.
"Childe, I asked. ”
Hearing this, Shangguan Wushu's heart suddenly relaxed, but he didn't ask in a hurry, but said curiously:
"How do you ask?"
Su Rongrong smiled lightly, with a touch of calm but confident brilliance in her eyes.
"Back to Gongzi, adults are ruthless, but children are not.
The maid just gave Gu Chengwang's eldest lady and third lady some means, and let their six children be present to watch;
Sure enough, the youngest son of the third lady who was in his prime quickly revealed the secret passage.
But when this child was playing peek-a-boo, he saw Gu Chengwang coming in and out. ”
Shangguan Invincible couldn't help but look sideways, this Su Rongrong's scheming was really extraordinary.
"Okay! That's good, what about them?"
Hearing the praise, Su Rongrong's eyes couldn't help but be a little more excited, and when she heard the question behind, she smiled reservedly.
"The crime committed by Gu Chengwang is a great crime of the Nine Clans! If they are captured and imprisoned, they will have to be tortured and exploited.
The maid also knew that the son could not bear their sin, so as to give them a good time. ”
When Gu Zhengguang heard Su Rongrong say such words in such a gentle tone, he couldn't help but feel a chill behind him.
Looking at Su Rongrong again, she immediately became a little more cautious and dodged in her eyes, this kind of woman really didn't dare to provoke!
Shangguan Invincible's eyes flashed slightly, but he smiled noncommittally.
"Alright, let's go. ”
Seeing that Shangguan Invincible didn't say anything, Su Rongrong was even happier in her heart.
Because she knew that she had guessed correctly, Childe was really not a soft-hearted fool.
In such a world, foolishness is only the way to die!
"Yes!"
"Leave thirty people to guard the valley mansion, and no one is allowed to enter or leave!
Wait for the rest of the people, assemble at once!"
Seeing Shangguan Invincible, Dian Wei and Su Rongrong moving forward, Gu Zhengguang hurriedly shouted.
"No!"
The west wing of the mansion, the guest wing toilet.
When Su Rongrong led the way and stopped here, Shangguan Invincible couldn't help but be speechless in his heart.
These former kings are really "ingenious" enough, and they would place the secret passage in such a place, no wonder they have never been discovered!
"Search!"
Gu Zhengguang shouted the order, and immediately walked out of more than a dozen brocade guards and stepped forward, and began to move all kinds of furnishings, even knocking bricks and stones.
More than ten breaths later, as a brocade guard touched the wooden barrel hanging on the top of the latrine, a rumbling sound suddenly sounded.
"Boom!"
The brocade guards reflexively drew their weapons, only to see a portal on the wall of the latrine in front of them.
The portal was pitch black, and I couldn't see anything, but I guess it must be the entrance to the secret passage!
Shangguan Invincible was about to move forward, but Dian Wei hurriedly raised his arm to stop him.
"Lord, I'll come first!"
"Good. ”
Shangguan Wushu nodded, but he didn't insist.
As Dian Wei stepped in first, Shangguan Invincible followed, followed by Su Rongrong, Gu Zhengguang, and Jinyiwei, who entered in a stream.
The entrance to the secret passage was pitch black, but when it turned a corner downward, there was a bonfire in front of it.
As far as the eye can see, there is a wall lamp on the walls on both sides every five or six steps, and there is yin liquid in the lamp as lamp oil, which reflects the passage as wide as a zhang brightly.
After moving forward for dozens of steps, after turning a corner downwards again, the rapid sound of breaking the air suddenly sounded.
Dian Wei, who was at the front, snorted coldly, and actually directly swung the double halberd in his hand and charged back towards the crossbow bolts that shot from the surroundings.
The bolts were extremely fast, and the arrows were glowing with a blue glow, clearly quenched with poison.
It's a pity that their opponent is Dian Wei of Ning Dan Eightfold!
As the muffled sound of rattling continued to sound, the entire tunnel shook violently.
But it turned out that Dian Wei was reluctant to stop the crossbow arrows, and directly blasted through the walls of the upper and lower sides, and violently destroyed all the hidden crossbows inside!
The tunnel suddenly fell silent, but as we continued to move forward, there were still various mechanisms coming.
However, the existence of Dian Wei's humanoid beast did not pose much of a threat, let alone casualties.
After a stick of incense, when everyone turned a corner again, their eyes suddenly opened up.
As far as the eye can see, there is a small underground square deep underground!
The surroundings and the top of this small square are inlaid with night pearls, and there are wall lamps that reflect it in the distance, illuminating this place in detail!
The whole small square covers an area of several acres, and there are many houses, and there is a waterhole in the middle!
But I don't know if the water is drawn from the surface of the earth, or from the underground river.
It's just that at this time, no one paid attention to these, and everyone's attention was on the more than 100 figures in the center of the square.
It should be the last hundred armor soldiers under Zuo Tongyun, and at this moment, these armor soldiers are standing there neatly and fully armed, as if they knew they would come.
For these people, Shangguan Wushu just glanced at them and stopped paying attention.
His eyes were already fixed in the direction of the waterhole.
On the edge of the waterhole there was an elaborate pavilion in which sat a veiled woman in a blue silk dress.
Behind the woman stood two old men, a man and a woman, both holding their hands and looking down at the long qin in front of the woman.
In front of the pavilion, there were still twenty figures shrouded in black robes.
From the outside, these black-robed men couldn't see anything clearly, and even through the cloak on their faces, they could only see pitch black, as if there was no face underneath them.
The others didn't feel anything, but Shangguan's invincible eyes narrowed involuntarily.
Because these twenty black-robed "people" are not human beings at all!
Or to put it another way, it should be an impure person!
"Zuo Tongyun, hehe, should this Ya call you Mrs. Gu, or Mrs. Fu?"
A playful smile appeared on the corner of Shangguan Invincible's mouth, staring at the figure in the gazebo in the distance.
"It's just a name, and adults can call it whatever they want. ”
An ethereal but somewhat charming voice came, and the tone was full of indifference.
"Oh?"
Shangguan Invincible's eyes flashed slightly, but he suddenly sneered.
"The granddaughter of the former king, although she is a concubine, is she also a prince and grandson?
Now that he has been reduced to a woman and two husbands, and he is not ashamed at all, Ben Ya is really impressive!
Tsk, what a shame......"
"Zheng!"
The woman's hands that had just been placed on the strings shook violently, causing a screeching sound to make the strings under her fingers.
As if aroused by anger, as if simply trying to see who was speaking, the woman finally looked up.
"It's handsome and handsome, but it's a pity why there is such a wicked rat tooth?"
Shangguan was invincible and did not get angry, but tilted his head and smiled playfully.
"Ben Ya's teeth are not as good as Madame's, after all, Madame has tasted different tastes, and Ben Ya is much simpler. ”
Su Rongrong on the side almost couldn't hold back her laughter.
However, she also knows that her son-in-law is so abnormal, just trying to provoke the other party's hole cards that may be hidden.
"Official! No enemy!"
A burst of angry cheers sounded, and the gritted teeth jumped out word by word, which showed that he was not lightly angry.
"Oh, Madame even knows about Benya?"
Shangguan Invincible had a look of surprise on his face.
"Since Madame knows that it is Ben Ya who is there, why didn't she run away?"
"Why did this palace flee?"
Zuo Tongyun slowly stood up, his eyes flashing with extremely strong resentment.
"You, the imperial court eagle dog, not only killed Fu Yong, but now you have also killed the secret land of this palace!
I think Manqing was also poisoned!
With such a deep hatred in the sea of blood, if you are not cut alive, how can this palace be willing?!"
Shangguan was invincible, but he sneered disdainfully.
"Oh, that's a lot of ambition!
Then why did you hide here like a rat before, and fight directly with Ben Yada, wouldn't it be more painful?"
Zuo Tongyun's eyes flashed with a hint of mockery.
"You're going to be as stupid as you when this palace is?"
Shangguan Invincible suddenly frowned, could it be that this old woman really has any big hole cards and a big back hand?
Carefully scanned the surroundings, but unfortunately there was still no discovery.
Temporarily suppressing the doubts in his heart, Shangguan Invincible stared at Zuo Tongyun again.
"What about Gu Chengwang?"
Who knows, Zuo Tongyun was obviously stunned when he heard this.
"You didn't even take down such a fool, so you came directly to Hongu?"
Shangguan Invincible saw the other party's reaction like this, but he calmed down.
Since Gu Chengwang is not here, he thinks that he has been taken by Xu Wenkang at this moment.
"It is said that the most poisonous woman's heart, this is really not false at all!
Nagu Chengwang doesn't care about you, an old and ugly woman, and is willing to marry you to give you a place to live, and even take the lives of the whole family to work for you;
I never thought he was a pathetic 'idiot' in your eyes!
Tsk, if this is known by that Gu Chengwang, do you think you will be angry to death?"
A flash of disdain flashed in Zuo Tongyun's eyes.
"Heh, he's just a servant.
To be able to contribute to the great cause of this palace, his family should feel honored!"
Shangguan Invincible couldn't help but sigh, this is also a ruthless woman with an ambitious heart.
"Hmph! This palace is too lazy to talk nonsense with you! Since you have entered this underground palace today, then you will all stay with your orders!"
