Chapter 448 You and Me at the Negotiation Table

In the afterglow of the setting sun, the figure stepping away from the mountain of corpses and the sea of ​​blood is drifting away, wrapped in the breath from hell, the breath of gods blocking and killing gods, and Buddhas blocking and killing Buddhas...

When the night fell, Miyagi, which had just experienced a catastrophe during the day, also became quiet. The night breeze blew gently, bringing with it the coolness of the chilly spring, as if it could wipe away the dust all over the ground, but the smell of blood on the nose is lingering.

When Jing Duo found Mo Chuohe, he was standing on the ruins of Cuiwei Palace with his hands behind his back, his solitary back seemed to merge with the thick black night around him, exuding an indescribable loneliness, and The coldness that rejects people thousands of miles away.

Jing Duo stopped for a while, but still walked over and stood shoulder to shoulder with him.

After standing still, Jing Duo glanced at Mo Chuohe's cold eyes, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief in his heart. Naturally, it was impossible for Mo Chuohe not to notice his arrival, and it was considered good if he didn't directly ask him to go away. .

"The Li family's army has already entered Miyagi, and they are currently busy cleaning up the mess. Your people saved Princess Huiming and Li Silang today. Mr. Li is very grateful, so he specially asked me to come and see if you have anything..." Jing Duo coughed twice, looking for something to say, breaking the awkward silence at the moment.

But before he finished speaking, Mo Chuohe interrupted him in a cold voice, "Isn't Emperor Xian still found?"

Jing Duo was taken aback, and then realized, "I haven't found it yet, but no matter how big the palace is, it's only a square inch. Search every inch, how long can he escape? Besides, the queen mother is still in Fengxian. As for the temple, he..."

"What if he is no longer in the palace?" Mo Chuohe asked in a cold voice.

Jing Duo was slightly stunned, "It's impossible. Although it was chaotic today, the gate of Sifang City was controlled by us in the first place. Unless he can fly into the sky and escape from the ground..." Jing Duo's words stopped abruptly, thinking of something, A look of astonishment flashed across his eyes, and he suddenly looked at Mo Chuihe.

The latter was calm and indifferent, "Also...you and I both know what kind of person Emperor Xian is. Do you really think that he would care about the Empress Dowager who is still in Fengxian Hall?"

Jing Duo didn't speak, but for a moment, his complexion changed several times, and he couldn't speak a word.

Mo Chuohe gave him a cold look, stopped talking, and turned his gaze away, focusing on the ruins of Cuiwei Palace, squinting his eyes for a deep look, then turned around suddenly, and strode away.

Jing Duo turned his head to look at the ruins shrouded in night, his eyes were filled with emotions, he gritted his teeth after a long while, turned around and walked away, right now he still has a lot of things to do, the Jing family has changed its course, and the prosperity or decline in the future will depend on The Li family, they have no way out, they can only advance and retreat with the Li family, Mo Chuohe's guess must be informed to the Li family as soon as possible, and a countermeasure should be come up with as soon as possible.

Jing Duo immediately went to find some members of Li's family, and when he was talking about Mo Chuohe's guess, someone came to report that the people from Wenlou went to Cuiwei Palace and Zichen Palace respectively, and they didn't know what they were doing. .

Li Huan, Jing Duo, and Xu Yi rushed over in a hurry.

When I arrived at the ruins of Cuiwei Palace, I happened to see the people from Wenlou rummaging through the ruins, obviously looking for something.

"What are you doing?" Xu Wei stepped forward and asked urgently. This person who looked a little like He Lianshu obviously had a detached position in Wenlou, and he was able to order Wenlou to go up and down. Her aura is also very similar to that of He Lianshu, this person and Wenlou rescued Princess Huiming and Li Xin, but there were so many things to do today, and she didn't find the opportunity to ask many questions in her mind.

Mo Chuohe ignored her, and still focused on searching.

At this moment, someone shouted, "Lang Jun, I found it!"

Mo Chuohe paused, then ran over, Jing Duo followed immediately, Xu Yi and Li Huan looked at each other, and followed.

"This is where the secret door is, but..." The Wenlou disciple who found the secret door had already checked it when they came over, and the joy just now turned to regret, "Either the mechanism at the secret door has been closed Destruction, or this mechanism is more clever than we imagined, and the entrance can be changed."

Mo Chuohe looked at the secret door that could no longer be opened, without expression on his face, but his eyes were already filled with undercurrents.

"Lang Jun!" At this time, another person came, it was one of the group of people who were sent to Zichen Palace just now, and he came back to report, "Zichen Palace also found a secret door."

"Can't you open it too?" Mo Chuohe asked in a deep voice.

The man had long been used to Mo Chuohe's ingenious calculations, although Mr. Nahan knew all about it, he still nodded, "Indeed."

Mo Chuohe pondered for a while, and turned his head to look at the Wenlou disciple who found the secret door first, "We found two secret doors, can you deduce the exit of the secret passage?"

There are many talented disciples in Wenlou, and this disciple happens to be proficient in the five elements and gossip, and he is a man who has a strange door. Hearing the sound, his expression changed a little, and he nodded hesitantly, "It stands to reason that most organs are related to gossip, and everything changes. Stay true to the principle, give me some time, maybe the approximate exit can still be deduced.”

"How long will it take?" Mo Chuohe asked again.

"I don't know." That Wenlou disciple shook his head, "However, I will try my best!"

"Yeah." Mo Chuohe nodded thoughtfully, "Gather all the disciples in the Wenlou who are good at magic tricks and Qimen Dunjia, and hand them over to you for unified deployment. We must find the secret way in the shortest possible time. exit."

That disciple of Wenlou was suddenly highly valued, and his heart was very excited. He hurriedly got up, bowed to Mo Chuihe to the end, and made a solemn salute, "Don't worry, Mr. Wen, Wen Jing will fulfill his mission!"

Mo Chuohe nodded lightly, said nothing, his eyes fell on the secret door made of fine iron, even under the fire, it was still not damaged at all, his eyes seemed to be soaked by the cold night , fluctuating and cold like water.

"How could you have thought..." Jing Duo looked at the man's side face that was sinking like water, and the complexity that emerged in his heart deepened by two points. Can't help but be surprised.

"This fire is a bit trying to cover up, it seems to be covering up something." Mo Chuohe said lightly, if he didn't care about it, he would have thought of it earlier.

Mo Chuohe straightened up, looking not far away, looking at Li Huan and Xu Yi with an inexplicable expression, but his eyes were like a bottomless pool, "I want to see Li Gong, but my manpower is limited right now." , I’m afraid I’m going to borrow troops from him.”

"The princess sees me?" Taoist Yun Qing came to Xu Jiao's room, his brows were a little surprised, he raised his eyebrows and glanced at the clean desk, which looked like it hadn't been touched at all, his eyes flickered twice, "The princess, What His Majesty said yesterday was not meant to scare you. The two-day period has already passed halfway. If you still fail to hand over what Your Majesty wants by this time tomorrow, Your Majesty will be angry. going to suffer."

"That's why I want to see the national teacher, please help me!" Xu Jiaoman said with a smile, "Didn't the national teacher say it? In this huge world, only I and the national teacher are fellow travelers. If there are three ups and downs, there will be no one who really understands you, the national teacher, how lonely the national teacher must be in this world?"

"If you have anything to say, the princess, let's be straightforward. Your temperament is more cute if you are straightforward." Daoist Yun Qing sat down at the table in an anticlimactic manner, tapped the table twice, and raised his voice to the humanity guarding the door. , "Go make a pot of tea and bring it here!"

The people outside the door left in response, Taoist Yun Qing raised his eyes and looked at Xu Jiao who was looking at him with a deep smile on the opposite side. The latter met his eyes and sat down opposite him with his skirt drawn down.

"Smart people don't speak in secret. I'm afraid of your majesty's cruelty. If you hand over what your majesty wants, I will be useless to your majesty. I'm afraid it's not just my maidservant and concubine, Even my mother and I, I'm afraid they will die sooner."

"That's why the princess didn't start writing at this time?" Daoist Yun Qing narrowed his eyes slightly, "The princess is a smart person, since he can think of this level, why didn't he think that you have no other choice now?"

"I know, but you have to give me more guarantees to make me feel at ease. Compared with Your Majesty, I would rather trust the national teacher, didn't you say that? I am a fellow traveler with you, at least the national teacher should hope that I Are you alive?" Xu Jiao looked at Taoist Yun Qing earnestly with a pair of clear eyes, as if he really trusted him.

Taoist Yun Qing pursed his lips and smiled, "What is the condition of the princess, you must first say it, and let me measure whether it can meet your wishes."

At this moment, someone knocked on the door of the room, and those people brought a pot of hot tea as ordered.After serving the tea on the table, the visitor retreated again.

Xu Jiao first picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea for Taoist Yunqing very attentively, and brought it to him, "Don't worry, the national teacher, I am not that ignorant, and I will not embarrass the national teacher too much. I just hope that the national teacher will be a Middleman, I beg Your Majesty for me. I am panicking now, if I still cannot escape death in the end, I will never draw the picture Your Majesty wants anyway."

"If I respond to you on behalf of His Majesty, as long as you draw the picture, I will guarantee that your lives will not be hurt?" Taoist Yun Qing picked up the cup of tea and took a sip, white smoke billowing up, It seemed that his eyes were covered with clouds.

"It would be best to have such a guarantee. After all, as the national teacher said, I also know that I have no choice but to believe that if I give you what you want according to your wishes, you You can let us go. But... can the national teacher be the master?" Xu Jiao was happy at first, then doubted.

"Of course, it's not that I don't believe in the national teacher, how about the national teacher give me a reassurance?" Xu Jiao hurriedly said to Shang Yunqing's sudden gaze.

"What reassurance?" Taoist Yun Qing squinted his eyes calmly.

"My mother's antidote! We are all in your hands, and poisoning my mother, isn't it superfluous? Antidote my mother, let her stay with us, I immediately started writing, I said Do it!" Xu Jiao's clear eyes were fixed and unwavering, looking straight into Taoist Yun Qing's eyes, making it impossible to doubt her sincerity.

Daoist Yunqing didn't answer immediately, he picked up the teacup in his hand, raised his neck and drank the rest of the tea, then he got up and said, "Princess, please wait at ease. I will bring you His Royal Highness the Eldest Princess, and of course, there will be an antidote along with it." After speaking, he took a deep look at Xu Jiao, and at the same time he took a step back.

He was able to go out, but the door was closed and locked again. Hearing the sound of footsteps going away, Xu Jiao's tense back relaxed quietly, and slowly let out the breath he had held in his chest for a long time.

"Ajiao, is this... done?" Wang Wan walked to her side and asked in disbelief.

"It should be!" Xu Jiao replied, "Didn't he say that he would send his mother here? You will find out in a while!"

"How did you come up with the idea that you went directly to the national teacher?" Wang Wan subconsciously felt whimsical when she first heard Xu Jiao's idea. Unexpectedly, the national teacher agreed without much hesitation. Wang Wan arrived At this time, I still feel a little unbelievable.

"Didn't you notice? The emperor listens to the national teacher's words." Xu Jiao's eyes are like water, "In fact, sometimes, the emperor will unconsciously look at the national teacher's wink. Yesterday, the emperor's anger was so intense that he even It is said that in the wrath of the emperor, millions of corpses lay dead and thousands of miles of hunger die, but the national teacher can easily soothe the emperor's anger with just a warm word, a cup of tea, this is not just simple trust."

Xu Jiao's eyes flickered twice, and she even had a guess, but she just couldn't be sure at the moment.

"In short, our national teacher is definitely a person who can call the shots, and he and the emperor may not be of the same mind on some things. As long as we make good use of this point, we can seize the chance."

"But even if the national teacher really sent Her Royal Highness the eldest princess here, and gave him the medicine, our life is still in their hands. As you said, when we have no use value, they may not let us go. Let us go. At that time, even if it is something that the national teacher promised, you can turn your face and deny it." Wang Wan has been imprisoned for so long, and she has already deeply felt the ruthlessness and cold-bloodedness of Emperor Xian. For Yun Qingdao, who is the same as Emperor Xian People don't have the slightest favor, and there is really no way to be too optimistic about what will happen next.

"Then give them a reason why they have to keep us." Xu Jiao was not afraid at all, and said lightly and naturally, with dazzling light shining in his eyes, as if with the power to overcome everything. strength.

Such Xu Jiao always makes people want to be convinced.

Seeing her like this, Wang Wan and Neg Xue fell silent at the same time.

Xu Jiao turned his head, smiled at them, and said, "What are you afraid of? We have overcome many life and death difficulties, and this time there is nothing difficult. Don't forget, A Wan and I are the reincarnations of lucky stars! One lucky star is great, but we are still two, no matter how difficult the road ahead is, as long as we are together, isn’t that good luck and good luck in every calamity?”

Her smiling face is so bright that people can't help but draw indescribable power from it, as if really as long as she is there, there is nothing to be afraid of, even if it is a catastrophe, it will eventually come to an end.

Another half an hour later, Her Royal Highness Princess Chang was indeed brought here, along with a white porcelain vase with a narrow neck from Ru Kiln.
