Longevity: Never leave the mountain until you are invincible

Heavenly Prison.

Jiazi Prison.

This prison has a total of twelve cells, arranged in staggered positions. Each cell is not connected to each other, and the prisoners in it cannot see each other.

This is to prevent prisoners from colluding.

Jiazi Prison holds serious criminals and martial arts masters with profound cultivation.

Although most of these serious criminals will have their cultivation abolished when they enter prison, there is always a chance of something happening.

If these serious criminals still have a backhand, or some means, collude and make a big fuss in the Heavenly Prison, it will be troublesome. It is most convenient to cut off the root cause.

Cell No. 1 is in the deepest part of Jiazi Prison, and few people go there.

Chu Chen came to Cell No. 1 and looked inside the cell.

He saw Lu Qinghou wearing prison clothes, quietly leaning against a corner of the cell, closing his eyes to rest.

Compared with the past, Lv Qinghou looked particularly embarrassed, with disheveled hair and a haggard face. There was no spirit on his face, and no dignity in the past.

When Chu Chen first met Lv Qinghou, he was more respectable than he was now.

"Who?"

Sensing someone coming, Lv Qinghou suddenly raised his head, his eyes extremely sharp.

"Who are you?"

Lv Qinghou looked at the somewhat unfamiliar person in front of him, and a hint of doubt flashed in his eyes.

His Majesty's people?

Or the King of Wei's people?

No, it should not be the King of Wei's people. His Majesty suddenly took action this time, and even he did not get the news. No matter how fast the King of Wei's people were, they probably just got the news and could not send someone to rescue him so quickly.

Moreover, with the King of Wei's character, now is the most critical time for him, and it is absolutely impossible to send someone to rescue him.

Apart from the King of Wei, there is only one possibility left.

His Majesty.

"Your Majesty has always had a low tolerance for betrayers. It seems that he is ready to send me off before he can convict me. Tell me, how does Your Majesty want me to die?"

Lv Qinghou was a little disheartened and lowered his eyes.

"It's me."

Just then, a familiar voice sounded.

Lv Qinghou looked up again and saw that the stranger had disappeared, replaced by an acquaintance.

A middle-aged man in his forties, but he could still vaguely see his former appearance.

"Young shopkeeper?"

A name blurted out.

In a trance, Lu Qinghou seemed to have returned to the time when he had not yet risen to power, holding a jade pendant and preparing to pawn it in a pawnshop to buy food for the next few months.

At that time, Chu Chen stood in front of him.

"Lord Lu is still nostalgic?"

Hearing Lu Qinghou's words, Chu Chen was slightly stunned and said with a smile.

"When people get old, sometimes they can't help but feel nostalgic for the past. The biggest turning point in my life was when I went to the pawnshop of the shopkeeper to pawn my items.

Since then, my luck has started to change. Perhaps the pawnshop of the shopkeeper can really change my luck."

Lv Qinghou spoke sincerely, as if he was reminiscing about the past.

"Lord Lu, do you still have the time to reminisce about the past with me now?"

Chu Chen raised his eyebrows and looked at Lu Qinghou with a smile: "If you continue to reminisce about the past, I don't mind letting you really go back to the past."

Yes.

According to the storybook, the dead can live in an illusory dream, which can also be regarded as allowing Lu Qinghou to go back to the past.

"The shopkeeper is joking."

Lv Qinghou smiled awkwardly and didn't dare to try to get close to Chu Chen anymore.

As an old man, he could see the faint murderous intent hidden under Chu Chen's smile.

"I don't know what the shopkeeper came to Tianlao to find me for?"

Lv Qinghou asked with a serious look.

Since he was imprisoned, there have been many people who came to the Tianlao to see him, most of them with other purposes.

Jinyiwei people, Dongchang people, people from major aristocratic families.

In his opinion, Chu Chen must have a purpose for venturing into the Tianlao late at night.

"Must there be a purpose?"

However, Chu Chen's next sentence once again stunned him.

"Must there be a purpose? Yes, must there be a purpose in life? Isn't it good to just get by? Although it is poor, at least you don't have to be so tired, calculating and calculating..."

Lu Qinghou suddenly laughed and muttered something.

"Ahem."

Chu Chen coughed lightly, and Lu Qinghou's voice stopped abruptly.

"There is something I have never understood. With your wisdom, Lord Lu, you should know that colluding with King Wei is not a wise choice."

Chu Chen said the doubt in his heart.

Lu Qinghou was able to go from a poor scholar to the position of Minister of Personnel, so he should understand that King Wei is not a good choice.

Although King Wei is the most powerful of the three vassal kings, King Wei has a great hidden danger. He is approaching the end of his life.

The King of Wei broke through the marrow refining for decades, but because he was eager for quick success and instant benefits when he was young, he damaged his foundation and has not yet broken through the innate realm. Naturally, he has not extended his lifespan and will not live for too long.

Once the King of Wei dies, the huge Wei Palace is likely to collapse. The two legitimate sons of the King of Wei are more frivolous than each other and are not worth using. They cannot support the Wei Palace.

Lv Qinghou was originally the Minister of Personnel and occupied an important position in the court of Dayan. There was no need to collude with the King of Wei.

"After all, I was once the Queen Mother's man and served under the Third Prince."

As soon as these words came out, Chu Chen understood them all at once.

Lv Qinghou had been a traitor too many times. Although he gained benefits every time and got himself one step closer, he left a stain after all and was not trusted by Emperor Hongguang.

"Don't look at me as the Minister of Personnel, but your majesty has been weakening the influence of the Ministry of Personnel. The power I hold in my hands is far less than the power when I was the Minister of Revenue."

There was a hint of resentment and deep dissatisfaction in Lu Qinghou's words.

He betrayed the Queen Mother and supported Emperor Hongguang to take the throne. Wasn't it for greater power?

As a result, he ascended to the position of Minister of Personnel as he wished, but the power in his hands was far less than before. How could he be willing to accept this?

"So, you defected to King Wei again?"

Chu Chen looked strange.

Good guy.

This guy is probably addicted to being a traitor, jumping back and forth here.

"King Wei promised me that as long as I can help him overthrow the court of Dayan, he will make me the prime minister, from then on, second only to one person, and above ten thousand people!"

Lu Qinghou's eyes were blurred, as if he was imagining the future.

Chu Chen, who was standing aside, looked at Lu Qinghou as if he was looking at a fool.

Does Lv Qinghou think that after putting the King of Wei on the throne, the King of Wei will not become the second Hongguang Emperor?

Besides, the King of Wei is about to die, and it is still a question whether he can ascend to the throne.

"Everyone thinks that the King of Wei is going to die, but what if the King of Wei breaks through the Xiantian realm?"

Lv Qinghou's next sentence shocked Chu Chen.

"The King of Wei is going to break through the Xiantian realm?"

Chu Chen asked, and there seemed to be a coldness in his eyes.

He did not forget the revenge of Old Man Shen, and there was a villain belonging to the King of Wei under the bed of the pawnshop.

After breaking through the Xiantian realm, Chu Chen had thought of attacking the King of Wei, but when he came to the King of Wei's mansion and observed for a while, he finally gave up the idea of ​​attacking.

The garrison of the King of Wei's mansion is really too outrageous.

It is better to say that it is a military fortress than a mansion.

Eight thousand Beiliang soldiers are stationed in the King of Wei's mansion, and many military weapons are deployed to guard it. I don't know how many martial arts masters are hidden in it.

It is no exaggeration to say that it is a den of dragons and tigers.
