On the first floor of the black tower, the door is open.

After entering, Quan Zhengrong also saw the outline clearly.

White candles were lit all around, with a stone bed in the middle.

On the stone bed, there was a mutilated corpse, emitting a stench.

Seeing this, Quan Zhengrong was slightly stunned.

At the same time, I am also curious about where this is and why the Queen called him here.

He looked around, trying to find the Queen's figure.

But he didn't see her when he scanned the whole room, and the soldier who brought him just now disappeared.

He felt bad and was about to leave.

Just then, there was a sound of dong, dong, dong from the front.

He said in a voice and looked towards the stairs.

I saw a rickety old man walking down the second floor slowly with a cane in hand.

Because of his old age, the old man has sparse hair, sunken eyes, and lips that are dark purple like lipstick.

In this black tower, it is as terrifying as a ghost that urges death.

When Quan Zhengrong saw her, he instantly understood something.

"It wasn't the Queen who asked me to come here, was it you?"

The old man didn't answer, and walked forward step by step with a cane.

Finally, she walked to the wooden chair in front of the jade bed and sat down.

Then he raised his head and stared at Quan Zhengrong.

"who are you?"

Her dry, wrinkled lips were parted, and her eyes were cold and unfriendly.

Quan Zhengrong was not afraid, and asked instead, "Who are you? I want to see the queen."

The old man did not answer her question, and continued to ask with a cold face, "What is your relationship with her?"

"Nothing to do with you."

Quan Zhengrong stood in this unfamiliar and empty environment. Although he didn't know where it was, he could sense the slightest danger when he looked at the corpse on the jade bed and the old man who spoke strangely.

After speaking, he turned around and walked out, trying to leave.

But as soon as he arrived at the door, two dead men in black robes and masks suddenly jumped down from above, blocking his way.

At the same time, the sullen voice of the old man came from behind.

"When you come to my site, it doesn't mean you can leave."

Quan Zhengrong frowned as he looked at the strangely dressed dead man in front of him.

He turned his head and looked at the old man again.

"What do you want?"

The old man's gaze was on the corpse on the jade bed.

"Tell me, what is your relationship with Ji Yao?"

Hearing the word "Ji Yao", Quan Zhengrong was really surprised.

Wan Qing's current name is Ji Yao, which is the Queen's taboo.

Ordinary people calling out the queen's name at will, that's a capital crime.

This old man is so casual.

It seemed that she should have gotten used to it by now.

He looked at the old man carefully, probably guessing her age in his mind.

After thinking about it, he was shocked.

"You, you are..."

The old man raised his eyes sharply.

"You know who I am?"

Quan Zhengrong closed his surprised eyes and calmed down.

"I guessed it, but I didn't expect that you are still alive!"

The old man glanced at him and closed his eyes again.

"What does it have to do with Ji Yao, what do you want to do with her?"

"It's just an old friend, find her... catch up."

"Reminiscing?"

The old man snorted coldly.

"What is your identity, what is her identity, what qualifications do you have to reminisce with her?

I advise you to tell the truth, I'm not that patient! "

Quan Zhengrong looked at her terrifying eyes and knew that nothing could be hidden from her.

After pondering, he said, "I'm here to ask her about Jingchen."

The old man then looked him up and down, squinting and said, "You are her son's... father?"

"No, I am his adoptive father."

"Father, so you have a good relationship?"

"It used to be good, but now it's a bit of a misunderstanding."

A strange smile suddenly appeared on the corner of the old man's mouth.

"It seems that you and Ji Yao had a very deep 'friendship' before, otherwise, how would you recognize her son as a adopted son?"

The old man looked at him, as if thinking about something in his heart.

After Quan Zhengrong was silent, he was unwilling to answer these meaningless questions.

"Since the queen doesn't want to see me, I'll leave."

But as soon as he turned around, two dead men were still blocking his way.

He could only look at the old man and asked, "What do you want?"

The old man got up and said with a sly smile, "It's okay if you want to see Ji Yao."

Saying that, she reached out and touched a rope beside the wooden chair and pulled it down fiercely.

This rope is connected to the trap in the tower.

The organ was activated, and the wall above Quan Zhengrong's head suddenly opened.

A tied woman fell straight down and hung in the air.

Quan Zhengrong opened his eyes wide.

"Queen!"

The queen was bound in the air and lost consciousness.

Quan Zhengrong's eyes showed anxiety, but he couldn't do anything because he couldn't touch her at all.

He could only look at the old man and asked loudly, "What are you doing! She is the queen of country E!"

The old man looked at him anxiously.

"Tsk, you seem to care about her very much, aren't you just ordinary friends?"

Quan Zhengrong didn't answer these, and said sternly: "This has nothing to do with you, you quickly put her down!"

The old man pulled the mechanism at will, and the queen's body was brought up again.

The wall above Quan Zhengrong also closed, and there was no clue.

"I did this to her because she was disobedient. Since you want to save her, why don't you just complete the unfinished task for her!"

The words were vague, but Quan Zhengrong could understand.

She was using the queen to blackmail him into making him work for her.

He didn't answer immediately, but also tentatively asked, "What mission?"

Seeing that he did not refuse, the old man smiled even more.

"This task is very simple for you, come here and I will tell you."

Quan Zhengrong approached her suspiciously, and lowered his head slightly.

The old man leaned closer to his ear, his shriveled lips parted up and down.

After hearing what she said, Quan Zhengrong was shocked.

"They're yours..."

"So what, my Ji family doesn't need any males! Do as I say, Ji Yao's safety depends on you, hahaha!"

After the old man looked up to the sky and laughed, he stepped up to the second floor with a cane.

With her departure, the dead man behind Quan Zhengrong also disappeared.

He looked at this empty and eerie black tower, and suddenly felt a chill wafting from his back.

Recalling the old man's words, he looked at the corpse of the jade bed in front of him, and then his body froze.

Then, he walked out of the black tower step by step.

The sky is still dark, it should be early morning at this time.

He lifted his foot and walked forward with difficulty.

After leaving the castle, he returned to Jiangcheng overnight.

noon the next day.

Country Z, Jiangcheng.

Quan Zhengrong appeared at the entrance of Yujingbieyuan.

The security personnel in Bieyuan knew that he was Mu Jingchen's adoptive father, so he could have unimpeded access in Yujing Bieyuan.

After entering the courtyard, he went straight to the hall.

In the hall, only Mr. Mu was alone.

The old man is wearing reading glasses and is reading today's latest newspaper.
