Imperial City Investigative Department

Xing Yun nodded and said: "After that, the Queen Mother acted several times as if she was afraid of you going to Shuangxi Village."

"So, they performed this act to let me rush to Shuangxi Village proactively and quickly. In other words, they should have discovered something in Kyoto or other places, and they were afraid that I would notice it."

"Why are you so important? Why do they have to consider you for everything?" Gu You asked in confusion.

Wu Chen smiled and said, "Maybe it's because I am the only one who can breathe and take care of them."

Xing Yun let out a long breath and said, "That's why you persuaded me that nothing will happen to my family."

"They don't have time to talk to your family, including when we went there, those people who didn't have much ability at the beginning on the way were just their way of delaying time."

"There are other ways to delay time, so why would you use your own nest as bait?" Xu Da asked.

"Because only their lair has this kind of equipment. No, they have the ability to trap me and possibly turn it into a burial place for me. In this way, they can kill two birds with one stone. They can kill me and do what they want to do." , other methods may not be able to trap me, so I should still have time."

"Yes, we basically didn't waste any time in Shuangxizhai. They thought they could trap us, but in fact they didn't waste as much time as Laojieshan." Xu Da said with his eyes shining.

"So, I'll go first after passing Teng County. I won't ride a horse. I can't run as fast on a horse. As long as I'm fast enough, maybe they won't succeed."

Xing Yun said anxiously: "How can you do it alone? If you want to send a message, no one can help you. I will follow you. Although I am slower than you, I can't be too slow."

"And me!" Lao Ba took a step forward: "The master is in danger, and we have no reason to sit back and ignore it. I am not much slower than Xing Yun. He follows the master, and I follow him."

"Then I'll follow you!" Gu You said.

Xu Da was anxious: "Are you bullying me for not being able to keep up? I know I can't delay things. I can't get off my horse to eat or drink, and I won't sleep, so I will definitely follow you!"

The boss and others had never had a chance to speak, so they also expressed their loyalty at this time.

Wu Chen felt depressed. If it were the same person before, he would have left long ago.

Although he had saved all these people before, he did not save them just for the sake of saving them. He saved them casually while exorcising ghosts. Some people would come to repay their kindness by chance after reincarnation, but he avoided them all. Unexpectedly, they all gathered here. For the rest of my life, I will fight to the death.

Wu Chen got on his horse and said expressionlessly: "Let's hit the road first, and then you can do whatever you want."

……

It's snowing again in Kyoto, and the pedestrians on the street have been driven home by the cold wind. A few lanterns in the street market are swaying in the cold wind with the flying snowflakes.

The night is getting darker.

In the Hall of Wende, Xing Yun stood behind Li Heng with his head lowered. Li Heng sat on the couch with a frosty face, looking at the smiling and chattering Queen Mother not far away.

"...Emperor, you can continue to do the work, and you can continue to enjoy the fine clothes and fine food. You just have to be obedient. If you don't, I will have to replace you. There are more people named Li, and there must be many people who are willing to be obedient..."

"Are you sure you are all ready?"

"Well, it's still a bit hasty, but fortunately Wu Chen is trapped in Shuangxi Village and won't be able to come back for a while. There is no one around you who can help you, so you should just accept your fate. Besides, you have nothing to lose. ..." "Who is my mother?" Li Heng raised his head, at least the momentum was still there.

"It's me!" The Queen Mother giggled after saying that, and added: "My little sister was fighting against you at that time. Alas, I am also a sister after all, so how can she compete with me?"

"Tiger poison cannot eat its seeds, you can't be my mother." Li Heng waved his hand.

The Queen Mother tilted her head and thought for a moment before saying, "You were indeed born in this physical body."

The veins on Li Heng's face popped out. He clenched his fists tightly, trying not to be reckless and impulsive.

"Your mother is not dead, and you can live forever with me. You should be happy. Now as long as you obey me, everything will be the same as before."

"Same? You touched the inner treasury of the palace, killed my ministers, and raided the homes of several ministers. The court has been disturbed by you, and now you want my army again!" Li Heng was so angry that his jaw dropped. All shaking.

"I want it, just give it, otherwise I will be like Zeng Tai, who died without knowing how. When the emperor dies, it is natural for me, the Queen Mother, to issue an edict. Isn't it easy to mobilize the army? "

"If you send Wu Chen away, you have already made arrangements. In that case, let's take action! Xing Yun, there is no need to take action. If you take action, many people will die..."

"You don't think he is yours until now, do you?" The Queen Mother chuckled again.

Li Heng snorted and said:

"You only know how to intimidate, how many of you are really surrendering? The two brothers Xing Yun are already in your plan. It would be good if they can escape for a while, but both of them are loyal. I am afraid that they will be impulsive and lose money." life……"

Before Li Heng finished speaking, Xing Yun had already stood in front of Li Heng.

"Hey, now you know the protector? Don't you care about your brother's life or death? Since I promised you to save your brother's life, I will naturally keep my word. Besides, what's the use of stopping you?"

Li Heng stood up and patted Xing Yun's shoulder. Xing Yun turned sideways. Li Heng looked at the Queen Mother with his hands behind his back and said:

"You haven't taken any action, but you have talked a lot of nonsense. It can be seen that you also know that if I die, many things for you will be delayed. You will not be able to do it as quickly as I can cooperate. Besides, will Wu Chen really die in Shuangxi Village? ...You are not sure either. Since the chaos in the world is not good for you, and you cannot afford to waste time, why not make it clear what you are going to do, and then I will see whether I agree to you or whether I am going to die!"

The Queen Mother was a little anxious. She frowned and said: "Humph! How dare you want to defeat everything? I only want to keep you alive because you were born in this body. It has nothing to do with anything else. Besides, you think too highly of Wu Chen. He is the only one who can do it." How big of a storm will it cause? Do you really think we are afraid of him?"

"I couldn't tell whether you were afraid of me before, but now..."

With the sound of the palace door opening, Wu Chen stood in front of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother screamed and fell backwards along with the chair. Wu Chen waved and the Queen Mother came back with the chair.

"Shuangxi Village was razed to the ground by me, and I also found a way to send away the souls in those people's bodies. Let's put it this way, Shuangxi Village now is not made of stone, but mounds of earth."

The Queen Mother only felt something blocked in her chest, and 1 voices were ringing in her head, which gave her a splitting headache. All she could do was hold her head in her hands and curl up on the chair.

Li Heng was stunned for a moment, then pinched the back of his hand to confirm that it was not a dream. He wanted to open his mouth to say something, but as soon as the words reached his throat, his nose felt sore. Xing Yun took the lead and asked urgently: "Where is my brother? "(End of chapter)
